**Richard** ## **Taylor Memorial Fund** ## **Trustees annual report for the period ended 31 March 2024 Structure, governance and management** The Richard Taylor Memorial Fund (RTMF) was established by declaration of trust on 31 March 2006. The trust deed is the Fund’s governing document. The Fund was registered as a charity on 15 June 2006. The trust deed provides that there must be at least 3 trustees. The existing trustees are responsible for identifying and appointing trustees. Four new trustees were added to the trustee body in early 2023 and played an active part in the governance of the Fund during the period covered by this report. ## **Objectives, activities, achievements and performance** The objectives of the RTMF are as follows: - To relieve the sickness and suffering of the general public by promoting organ donation - To advance the education of the general public and health service providers in all areas relating to organ donation - To provide or assist in the provision of skate park facilities for the benefit of the general public in the town of Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, in the interests of social welfare for healthy recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life - To provide scholarships, exhibitions and bursaries for young persons under the age of 25 to enable them to further their education in sport During this period the Fund focussed its efforts on securing funds to contribute to building a new state of the art concrete wheeled sports arena on the site of the existing skatepark. A Go Fund Me page raised over £7k and applications to the South Wales Police Youth Trust, the Waterloo Foundation and the National Lottery’s Community Fund raised £10,000, £15,000 and £80,900 respectively. A £1,000 grant was awarded to the Hargreaves family in June 2023. £90,000 was expended by the Fund during this period as its first instalment towards the cost of the skatepark build. ## **Financial Review** The trustees set a policy of retaining the discrete funds raised to facilitate the building of the new skatepark. Once this goal has been achieved the trustees will reconsider the Fund’s position on reserves. ## **Reference and Administration details Charity name** Richard Taylor Memorial Fund ## **Registered charity number** 1114687 ## **Principal address** 72 Porth y Castell Barry CF62 6QF ## **Trustees** Mrs Gaynor Taylor Mr Frederick Taylor Mr David Maggs Mr Robert Taylor Mr Daniel Maggs Mrs Ursula John Mr Richard Colbourne ## **Bankers** Santander Business Banking Operations Sunderland SR43 4FW Income for the period ended 31.3.24 totaling £60,035.96 came from the following sources: £ Paypal 12.50 Amazon Smile 23.46 National Lottery Community Fund 60,000.00 This total, together an additional £30,000 raised the previous financial year from a Go Fund Me page, the South Wales Police Youth Trust and the Waterloo Foundation was expended by the Fund during this period as its first instalment towards the cost of the skatepark build. ## **Receipts and payments account for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024** ## **Receipts Amount Payments Amount** **£ £** **£** Opening balance 41,764.55 Skatepark build instalment to the VoGC 90,000.00 Donations 35.96 Award 1000.00 Grants 60,000.00 **Total Receipts 101,800.51 Total Payments 91,000.00 Closing balance 10,800.51** **Statement of assets and liabilities at 31 March 2024** **Cash funds £** Bank deposits **10,800.51** Other monetary assets **-** Gift Aid tax claims **-** Liabilities **Total 10,800.51** - The Fund had a bank opening balance of £41,764.55 at 1 April 2023.

Having checked the bank statements I confirm that all the payments received of: - Paypal - £12.50 - Amazon Smile - £23.46 - National Lottery Community Fund - £60,000 Were declared and accounted for. The only expenditure during the year was a donation of £1000 to the Hargreaves family and a £90,000 payment to the Vale of Glamorgan Council for the skatepark build which were also declared and accounted for. The balance in the account at the year end of £10,800 is a correct reflection of the activity in the year. Consequently, after a thorough review I found the accounts to be in good order with no discrepancies. Joan Walden
