Suminary ofthe main

public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration

had regard tothe guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission
on public
benefit)
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.
