We have conducted due diligence in selection of suitable charities that fit the objectives. We have worked very closely with another UK Registered Charity to assist their fund raising for Nepal and India. By way of background information the driving force for funding of the Trust have been from contributions from Gilham, Farlow and Innes and have not used Gift Aid nor have we sought contributions from other sources nor received any funds from the public or other sources. Finally, we have taken the decision to seek professional support to ensure we comply with the fiduciary requirements of the Charity Commission. ## **Achievements and Performance** Last year we identified a very poor region in Oyam in a remote region of East Nepal where we intended to provide financial support to assist in the education to the children of needy families. We are now working in collaboration with another UK Register Charity with a proven track record of supporting children’s education in Nepal. GIFT have been providing contacts and subject matter expertise to assist this other charity in building an extension, including hostel, library and IT suite to an existing school in Oyam. The Trust has continued to be prudent in spending it’s funds as until the next major donation, the fund is not large and aspirations must be modest and we are content we have done sufficient research to make sound decisions for the future. No further trips are planned to Nepal in the near future as we have sound contacts in place on the ground. No visits were made to Nepal by Trustees in 2020-21 on related GIFT projects nor are any planned in the near future. ## **Financial Review** The Trust is expecting significant donations in the next five years. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The structure of the Trust is based on the five Trustees. Trustees meetings are held by Zoom and the longer term strategy in expectation of a guaranteed significant donation in the future.
