The purpose of the RDC Foundation is to advance young people under the age of 21 in life for the public benefit through recreational and leisure time activities so as to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society by such means as the trustees think fit, in particular but not limited to:-

-
Awarding to such persons grants toward costs of significant and life changing adventurous activities that they themselves have been heavily involved in planning.

Financial Review
In the period the Foundation raised £25,592.03 in donations and made grants totalling £10,445.74. As the Covid-19 pandemic struck we continued to offer grants but subject to payment when conditions allowed for their use. As such a number of applications were approved and not paid in the period pending a time when they can be paid in confidence they can be used.
The Trustees have adopted a policy of looking at available reserves and expected donations for the following 12 months and targeting to spend up to 25% of this amount each quarter subject to strict and careful review of applications received
The Foundation maintains a healthy reserve to meet any particularly interesting and relevant grant making opportunities and will use its judgement on how best to utilise this during each grant making review.
Structure, Governance and Management
The RDC Foundation is a CIO with a constitution. There must be at least 3 trustees and less than 12 and trustees are elected for a 3 year period
