Trustees consider applications for grants for work or projects having objects similar to the Fund, as the board constitutes in clause 9 (of the Trustees Deed) may from time to time determine. Policy on grant making nla Policy on social investment including program related investment nla Contribution made by volunteers Other Achievements and Performance During the year, Trustees considered various grant applications. Some did not meet our aims as they were considered to be too general regarding children and young people's welfare. After consideration, it was decided that a grant be made of £10,000 to the Temperance North organisation to assist in the employment of a Youth Worker for alcohol and temperance education in the North of England. Trustees were aware that the previous North of England temperan society worked with students and young people to promote alcohol education and assistance for children to attend youth summer camps. It is to be hoped a Temperance North youth worker will lead to more contacts with organisations who would benefit from a grant from the Temperance Children's Fund. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Trustees are continuing to explore the promotion of alcohol information and education. We are aware of the growing interest in "Sober societies "in Colleges and Universities.
