The Motivation & I earning Trust (MLT) has continued to engage in a significant fundraising strategy in order to ensure solvency and offer support to those who are entitled toaccess grants under the constitution ofthe charity. Relief ofhardship and improvements in Learner mental health are now a major focus, especially as the effects ofthe Covid restrictions become apparent. For a large part ofthe reporting period these restrictions have severely curtailed fundraising activities. However, regular donations and some fundraising from MPCT Staff has ensured that the charity has not suffered financial hardship. |
|||
| Unfortunately the MLT Gala Dinner was cancelled due to restrictions. |
||||
| However, the joint MLT/RICOH Golf Day was rescheduled and took place on 29 July 21 at the end ofthe reporting period. |
||||
| A grant ofS2,400to allow Learner participation in sailing events was |
||||
| made during the period, Restffictions eased sufficiently to allow an event | ||||
| totake place in July 21 where Learners and staff undertook a Sailing |
||||
| course with Island Trust Sailboats out ofPlymouth. Future sailing events |
||||
| are planned, | ||||
| In addition to the government's strategy of providing ITsupport to allow classes to be held online, our charity donated 225,000 towards IVIPCT's |
||||
| tNo one gets left behind" campaign to purchase Laptops for use by |
||||
| Learners who, for whatever reason, did not qualify for government |
||||
| support. | ||||
| As the number ofMPCT Colleges and Learner numbers continue to |
||||
| increase, we have endeavoured to encourage individual colleges to raise |
||||
| funds at local level. This strategy was proving successful until the COVID |
||||
| restrictions were implemented. The Chair and other trustees have, |
||||
| where possible, visited many ofthese colleges during the reporting year |
||||
| to recognise and reward fundraising efforts at local level. |
||||
