## **Annual Report for Charity Commission and Strumpshaw Parish Council 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026**
## **Overview**
The Strumpshaw Trust can give grants to those who live in the civil parish of Strumpshaw who need help because of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. It can also give grants to those community organisations most of whose members live in Strumpshaw, Buckenham or Hassingham. These grants may be used to promote recreation, education, leisure time pursuits and the arts as well as supporting facilities for public benefit. Grants would normally be for a specific project.
The Trustees will consider applications for grants to help an organisation buy equipment, to provide seed funding for a project or towards running costs. Grants towards running costs would be for one year only.
In addition, the Trustees will consider applications from community organisations to provide specific facilities for public benefit in Strumpshaw, Buckenham or Hassingham. Applicants would need to show the public benefit that would arise from the provision.

## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have the following reserves policy:
The ability of the Trust to consider hardship grants will be protected by only spending the rental and share income on hardship grants in the year following its receipt. Any sums not spent on hardship grants in that year will be added to the Trust’s balances for use in future years for any of the Trust’s objectives.
Approved by the Strumpshaw Trust trustees 8th April 2026
