Milford on Sea Charitable Trust (MoSCT) Annual Report for 2021
(Reg Charity no 1172750)
The MoSCT was established in January 2017 to serve as an umbrella charity for voluntary community organisations in Milford on Sea, Keyhaven and Everton. The members of the charity belong to the Milford on Sea Community Panel , a networking group of individuals who represent a range of local voluntary organisations. The aim is twofold:
To support existing groups
To support new projects which benefit people living in the parish of Milford on Sea. During its first year, the charity took in two existing groups:
The Milford on Sea Dementia Action Group
Milford on Sea Befrienders
The charity provides a bank account, insurance, DBS checks for volunteers, and general advice.
In 2018 it supported one new project being developed in the parish. This is an initiative to provide the villages with a minibus.
All of these above projects were paused in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During 2020 the trust set up a Mutual Aid Group to provide support for those needing help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, or just contact during the Covid Pandemic. A group of 160 volunteers provided the village with tremendous support that was formally recognised by Milford on Sea Parish Council.
At the end of 2020 the trust took on support of the Xmas lights project which aims to illuminate Milford during the Xmas period.
All projects continued to be paused in 2021 apart from the Xmas Lights project.
The Charity is registered for gift aid. When an individual makes a donation, they can make it directly to the group or project they wish to support, or can donate to the charity itself. Any general funds which are donated will be allocated to new or existing projects.
Any Milford on Sea voluntary organisation whose members think they could benefit from coming under the umbrella can join the Community Panel. Existing members, and any new members of the Panel are eligible to be members of the charity, which is administered by its Trustees. The panel meetings are the main forum for monitoring existing projects, and discussing new projects and ideas, and how they might be introduced and managed. Chair, Jenny Whitley. September 2022
