You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

The principal source of funding continues to be the leasing of ‘Poor’s Field’ for grazing. The rental income provides the major contribution to the annual grant award. In 2021 the rental due was £100.00 and the grant awarded was £100.00.

The expenditure was specifically for the benefit of those persons in need living in Campton.

Trustees are very aware that public benefit is currently limited by the charity’s income and are looking to the main asset of the charity ‘Poor’s Field’, and its potential to increase income and therefore opportunities for public benefit. A change of use for the land might allow for an increased rent, or sale of all or part of the land might offer the potential to increase the charity’s holding in the ‘Poor’s Stock’ CCLA investment fund. The trustees have actively been researching a number of options and their viability, and have obtained a loan from the Parish Council to pay for the legal fees involved in first registration of ‘Poor’s Field’ with the Land Registry.
