## **CAMPASSION CARE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2023** 

The Trustees present their Report for the year ending 31 March 2023, which incorporates the Legal and Administrative Details on Page 2. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Campassion Care Trust was registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 30 July 2015. Under the terms and conditions of this CIO, the power to appoint Trustees is vested in the Trustees for the time being. 

The Charity has a Board of Trustees who meet quarterly and are responsible for its strategic direction, policy and operations. The Charity does not employ any staff. 

## **OBJECTS, ORGANISATION AND ACTIVITIES** 

The Mission Statement of the Charity is stated on Page 2. 

During the past year the Campassion Care Trust has participated in discussions with local churches about the need to provide quality care for elderly people in the local community. 

Carmel McDonnell, our volunteer Care Home Liaison Officer, has continued working with existing Cambridge Care Homes to identify those that currently have Christian services provided by local churches and to ascertain whether care homes would like more input from Cambridge churches, in the form of services, 1-1 visits and one-off socials. As a result of their responses Carmel has linked care homes with churches and also arranged services that she has taken with support from CCT group members and volunteers. 

Campassion Care Trust continues to investigate and explore possible opportunities to establish a Christian Care Home in the Cambridgeshire area. We have held discussions with Pilgrims' Friend Society, Linking Lives UK, Embracing Age, Cambridge Christian Action Network and  various individuals who share this vision. 

At present we have a regular core group of 10 people including the trustees that meet on a monthly basis to discuss and plan future activities. We have planned a one day conference in Cambridge with Embracing Age charity with talks on providing support to older people including those living in care homes. 

There are approx 150 people who receive regular updates and news of our activities.
