**Trinity Ministries Charitable Trust November 2021**
**Tuesday 30**
**Report to the Trustees for annual Trustees meeting up to the end of accounting period 5.4.2021**
## **Purpose:**
The Charitable Trust was set up in October 2006, and although ‘Charitable Purposes’ has a legal definition as follows: 1) The advancement of religion. 2) The advancement of Education. 3) The Relief of Poverty & 4) For the Public benefit, the passion of the original settlors is for the advancement of the Christian faith through evangelistic outreach or through humanitarian acts which are active demonstrations of God’s love for his children.
There is no geographical bias.
## **Trustees**
Mr Jonathan Cobb. Mr Graham Cleveland, Mr Andrew Smart
Mr Andrew Smart has continued to indicate that he does not wish to continue in the role but is still a trustee until such time as he will be replaced.
The trust is actively seeking a fourth trustee.
## **Structure:**
Following the novation of private donors to Stewardship within the year ending April 2020, The trust now primarily acts as a deposit for the charitable donations of the Directors of Trinity Wealth Management Ltd.
In addition where a client of Trinity has bequeathed a gift to TMCT through their Will, the trust will still receive and distribute these.
Funds are securely held with Kingdom Bank and Manchester Building Society whilst the ongoing running account is held with a Lloyds current account
In addition, a Stockbroking account with Charles Stanley is set up and holds shares donated directly by one client. These remain untouched.
## **Gifts Made:**
With the advent of Covid, the trustees of TMCT were keen to support a local charity which was making a difference to the lives of those affected by the pandemic. TMCT identified an excellent Christian charity called Restore Hope based in Latimer, Chesham. Amongst other ministries, the charity was operating a food bank to those who were struggling financially.

The trustees felt that this was a project which we would like to partner with Trinity clients and the project was actively marketed to Trinity clients (including those who now held Stewardship accounts.)
In April 2020 a substantial gift of £25,000 was paid to Restore Hope.
The trust has been supporting Sara Cox who is a severely disabled and financially compromised woman in St Albans. Gifts are made into the trust and as needs arise, payments made to her in particular to ensure her house is fully adapted to her condition. A single sum of £18,000 was paid out in January 2021.
The trustees have made the decision to stop taking any future payments and have helped donors facilitate giving through a different medium. The funds remain in credit but will be drawn down to zero as her needs arise.
## **Regular Giving:**
TMCT continues to give £433p/m to St Pauls Parish Church in St Albans to help to fund for a CAP UK worker.
TMCT continues to give £500p/m to the outreach ‘Transform UK’ to fund a day a week for an outreach worker who supports and brings together Christians in major businesses.
TMCT continues to give £150p/m to YouthWorks which works with young people in schools in Luton.
TMCT continues to give £21 p/m to Toybox for the sponsoring of a child in Latin America.
TMCT continues to give £100 per month to Azalea, a charity that works to with street women in Luton.
In total, during the tax year a combined total of £117,797.65 (including regular payments and fees) was made in donation payments out of the trust.
## **Share Dealing**
During the above period no new donor used this dealing service to make a gift into Trinity Ministries.
