Objectives and Activities.
The objectives of the Trust remain unchanged and our initial focus remains Nepal. 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
Throughout this financial year we have made steady progress in our partnership with PTN UK, assisting administratively with the build and installation of a large extension to a school in a remote region of East Nepal. The land has been purchased using a combination of private donations and Municipality funding with retaining walls constructed to mitigate any subsidence. The project is expected to be finished in the second quarter of 2023.
The Trust has continued to be prudent in spending its funds as until the next major donation which we expect in the next year or so, 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 trips are planned to Nepal in the immediate future as we have sound contacts in place on the ground. A small number of visits to Nepal happened in 2022 but these were privately funded.
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.
