Structure, governance and management
The Turnbull Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered in 2013, with the current constitution dated 19 June 2013. It is a small charity set up with the object of relieving the needs of disadvantaged children in need, hardship or distress, particularly but not exclusively, by supporting orphanages, or by other means, as the trustees shall deem fit.
At present the Turnbull Foundation raises funds, as and when required to support the work of a mixed orphanage in the old city of Nagpur in India that houses around 45 boys and girls. The Foundation works with the management of the orphanage to identify projects that are needed to improve the wellbeing of the children. Once a project is identified and fully costed fundraising will be undertaken to raise the money needed. A project will not be started until the necessary funds are raised.
Future projects, continue to remain still at the discussion stage, we are still waiting for the people who run the orphanage to come up with a need, some ideas and to then finalise their priorities and then obtain some quotes for comparison
Trustees
The Charity now has 4 trustees.
The Finances
At present the trustees have no wish to build up the financial reserves of the charity as this is not required. The trustees’ policy is to raise the funds as and when needed. This fundraising normally takes the form of
informal dinners, or similar evening events and donations from individuals and companies.
Associated Work
Whilst it has been another quiet year of consolidation for the Foundation, the staff at a partner company of Mr Oliver Turnbull in Nagpur still continue to give of their own time to help the children. The staff are providing help with English language and are also continuing to provide computer training and other support to the youngsters.
Summary
The Foundation made a good start in its aim to improve the lives of the children, in particularly with the provision of hot water and a better environment. Will our help the orphanage is in a good condition, compared to other similar establishments in the area. There will be more work and maintenance to be done in the orphanage and the trustees remain intent on doing this as and when required in co-operation with the people who run the establishment.
