The Charity was founded to represent a cross section of the Community from the Parish of Sheriffhales. Trustees represent the following sectors of the Community: - Sheriffhales Village Hall Sheriffhales Parish Council Sheriffhales Church Sheriffhales Primary School Sheriffhales Farming Community Sheriffhales Parishioners Directors of the Sheriffhales CIC and Sheriffhales CBS who are involved in the management and running of the Solar Project. The Charity website asks for new Trustees with a declaration in the Constitution of a maximum of 12 Trustees including Chair. The Charity advertises through the Parish Magazine and through word of mouth for projects that are situated within the Parish of Sheriffhales and are seen to benefit the Parishioners of Sheriffhales. The Charity sits 3 to 4 times per year to review projects and vote on whether funds are allocated to the project or not. Each project is submitted with full costings and a statement of how the project will benefit the Community of Sheriffhales. The project is then put to a vote and if a majority of Trustees vote in favour, the project is then noted as approved and funds allocated to the project. The Charity pays funds by Cheque to the nominated Contractors employed to carry out the works for the nominated project after the works are complete. The Charity pays for Clerk services as required for meetings, meeting minutes and works associated with managing projects. The Charity received an income of £48,489 for the period to February 21. The source of income was two payments from the refinance of the Sheriffhales Solar Energy Community Interest Company (one payment deferred from 2020). The Charity aims to distribute all funds received and keep a nominal sum for overheads in the Bank at all times. The Charity opened the financial year 2020/121 with a cleared balance of £48,605.13 and ended the financial year with a cleared balance of £70,046.23. A sum of £48,489 was received from the Solar Project during the year. None of the income was project dependent. All funds were received on the basis that SaCREC would democratically decide on worthy causes in the Parish of Sheriffhales DocuSign Envelope ID: 9A006C44-2144-49AD-A9E6-8999F27B35BA ## Sheriffhales and Communities Renewable Energy Committee ## _**Trustees report for the year ended 28[th] February 2021**_ There were a number of supported major projects during the financial year: - - 1) Covid-19 support.
