## Trustees Report of Winchcombe Rotary Trust Fund Charitable Incorporated Organisation for Year ending 30th June 2021 

The first AGM of the Trust was held on xxxxxxxxxx where the CIO members agreed that the Trustees for the coming year would be: 

President – John Evans (ex officio) Secretary - James Neuberger (ex officio) Treasurer - Neville Whitfield (ex officio) President Elect – Gavin Philips (ex officio) 

It was also agreed that outgoing President Steve Wilkinson would remain as a trustee to maintain continuity as we gain experience of running the CIO. 

At the time of the last AGM the club was in the process of applying for registration with HMRC for Gift Aid and this was achieved in August 2020 and the first Gift Aid claim successfully completed later in the year. 

**Fund raising** - The Club has undertaken on behalf of the CIO the following fund-raising events: 

1. Classics at Prescott – 2020 was the last year the event was jointly run by both Winchcombe and Cleeve Vale Rotary Clubs before the event is fully taken over by Winchcombe. The event, however, had to be cancelled at the last minute due to Covid  restrictions  but  due  to  generous  donations  a  surplus  of  £5755  was generated. 

2. Christmas Activities – A combination of decorating the Town with Christmas trees and taking Santa's Sleigh around the town raised just under £950 after some considerable extra expenditure to do all this work in a Covid Compliant manner. 

3. The Clubs 100 Club Lottery Fund donated just over £2000 to the CIO 

At year end the balance on the CIO account was £16573.85 

**Charitable  donation** -  In  terms  of  donation  the  CIO  membership  requested  the trustees make the following payments: 

1. Continue  the  monthly  contribution  to  the  running  costs  of  the  Honduras orphanage in Orlancho at a level of £75 per month 

2. Contribution of £3000 to WAM Youth to support young peoples development. 

3. £1200 for the purchase of a Rapid Infuser at the Sue Ryder Hospice 

4. A Contribution towards the renovation of the Winchcombe Museum (£1000) 

5. Support of a number of Rotary UK initiatives including Kidsout, Brain Tumour Research, Oxygen concentrators for India and the Guilford Eye Project. 

Winchcombe Rotary Trust Fund CIO – July 2021 



The Club wishes to fund a major charitable project in the future and is “Ring Fencing” funds to support this plan. The trustees have been asked to hold £5000 of the current balance for this project and plan to add to this in 2021/22 

Finally, the trustees report that the current financial situation is healthy but continue to be aware of the need to be prudent until we are clear as to what revenues will be available to us as Covid restrictions are lifted.
