order to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
During the reporting period, the Foundation has focused entirely on raising funds to enable achievement of the objects in a comprehensive and meaningful manner. To date, no activities have taken place to deliver impact against those objects.
Trustees have had, and continue to have, due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
The Board of Trustees ensures proper governance of the Foundation’s grant-making in three ways.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.
-
a. Through grant-making principles which ensure that, even where there is donor or funding partner involvement, decisions are ultimately made by the Foundation’s Trustees. These principles, together with the Gift Acceptance Policy, clarify that funds given are the Foundation’s asset, albeit with degrees of restriction on their use, and that, where they are involved, donors are recommending grants, not awarding them.
-
b. Through published grant-making criteria which set out the activities the Trustees wish to support in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable objectives. The criteria also include activities which the Trustees do not wish to support because they do not consider them to be in line with the Foundation’s purpose. The Trustees accept that they will, on some occasions, make grants outside published criteria but that in all such cases the activity supported will be charitable in law.
-
c. Through grant-making processes which set out how decisions are reached for awarding grants from different types of funds at the Foundation.
