The Trustees had initial training on responsibilities and charitable governance provided by Wrigleys Solicitors charity specialists.
The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of 3 Trustees, to a maximum of 8 Trustees, or a sole corporate Trustee. The Trust Deed also provides that the Trustees must hold at least one meeting a year.
The Trustees met three times during the year to formally discuss grant applications which are reviewed by one or more of the Trustees initially and a shortlist drawn up each quarter. At one meeting, the Trustees also confirmed the strategy of distributing roughly £60,000 of the capital grant per annum.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The Trustees have decided not to hold reserves on the basis that the charity has no overheads and recognises grants at the time of approval, rather than when the grant is paid, which ensures that the trustees can honour the grants that they have decided to award. The Trustees keep their position on reserves under review.

Investment policy
The Trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to be satisfactory.

Funds are also held in a private equity fund to increase returns.
The Trustees met three times during the year to formally discuss grant applications.

The Rasche Family Charitable Trust
The trust remains in good financial health despite the economic turbulence experienced over the last year or so. Investments are now down a little but should recover and we still have a good proportion in immediately accessible bank accounts.
We continue to support the work of our main charities, The On Course Foundation, African Revival and Caring for Life, as well as a few local charities. We also supported the DEC Ukraine Appeal and the trustees have separately supported a displaced Ukrainian family with accommodation.
As trustees we meet and discuss our policies as well as grant applications we receive. Not many new applications pass our remit and are local, so we mainly grant to charities we have helped in the past.
We continue to use the services of Wrigleys Solicitors Llp to advise us on any changes in legislation or good governance practice.
In the forceable future we expect to continue to grant around £60,000 per annum to the current charities that we support, but do review all grant applications, that we receive.
We are aware that the current climate means that there are more people in need and we do try to consider this in reviewing our levels of grant. Our grants will be a small proportion of that needed by those we support, but we hope it still makes a difference to the benefactors.
