STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The Truelight Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisalion (CIO) unincorporated Trust created by Trust Deed dated 9th April 1973.

The Trustees who served the Charity during the period were as follows: Mrs J Hayward, Senior Twstee Mrs S Knight, Honorary Treasurer Ms J Dunham Mrs S Vening Mr S Collins Mr P Summerfield The Truelight Trust's Trustees are elected by a majority vote of all the Trustees. In the past ten years our policies and procedures for induction and training of our Trustees have been called into play in six cases. In general, our policy is to seek potenlial Truslees who,. al come highly recommended by more than one referee already known to the Truslees, or b) are known already to one or more Trustees to be lik minded in temis of our objectives and activities {see 2 below) and who at the same time are able to contribute their knowledge and experience of the areas from where our income is derived (see 4 below). The produre is for Ihe potential trustee to be first interved by the senior trustee and the treasltrer and then, after discussion of the issues and accountabilrties relating to our part of the charity world, he or she will be invrted - subjecl to mutual agreement- lo attend our next three or four quarterly meetings as our guest. The Trustees will then discuss the appointment and vote on it. Provided the majorrty are in favour the Senior Trustee will then invite our guest to fomally attend our next meeting and complete the necessary documentation as a new Trustee. In terms of Iraining and getting familiar wrth our work, they are referred to the Trust Deed, we have developed a "Trustee's questions" letter.and we recommend that all Trustees should visit the Charity Commission's website at www.char commission. ov.uk from time to time to acquaint themselves with the gu¥Jelines for Trustees, the public character of charity, Ihe emergence of new charitable purposes, charrties for the relief of sickness, etc. In addition, we try to make opportunities for a new trustee lo "shadow. a more experienced trustee, possibly alongside our professional advisors, as we are constantly seeking to optimise particular aspects of our operations (see 2, 3. 4 and 5 below) 2. OBJECTIVES. ACTIVITIES, RISK MANAGEMEMf AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Charity purpose is lo make grants to other charitable bodies for the relief of all kinds of social distress and disadvantage. There has been no matenal change in the Trust's policy of making
donations to mostly small local Charities dealing with all kinds of disadvantage, with preferences to neighborhood-based community projects and for innovatory work with less popular groups. The routine business of the Trust continues to be carried out on a voluntary basis by the Senior Trustee, the Honorary Treasurer and four further Trustees. During this year the Trust's Audilor has also agreed to assist in an advisory capacity. A part-time Administrator assists them. There are currently six Trustees in tolal. Decisions on Grants and the management of the Trust's assets continue to be made by the Board of Truslees as a whole at regular meetings. As Trustees of The Truelight Trust we are duty bound to demonstrate nol only competence, challenge, and knowledge of charity affairs, but lo make ourselves aware of any significant risks which Ihe Charrty may face on a regular basis and to ensure that the annual review of our financial and operational affairs carried out through our internal discussions and audit programme will provide sufficient resources to deal wrth any adverse conditions. As to any fresh and significant risks and responsibilities which the Charity may face in the future, we have been concerned that 'digital continurty" of documents {that is the ability to Ltse our information in the way we need, for as long as we needl and the availability of signatures re cheques and other legal documents can both be pul at risk by death, accident, changes in organisation. management. processes, technology, holidays, or travel. In practical terms, our information is only usable if we can find it, open it, work with it, understand it and trust rt. In order therefore for us lo maintain information continuity and the ability to do our business, we ensure that our Administrator acts as a hub for all information, and in case of accidenl that her information system will be understood and a¢ssible to at least one named Trustee. The Trustees have assessed the disclosures made in the Trustee's report and consider that these sufficiently detail the significant activrties undertaken in order to carry out the charity's aims for the public benefit. When planning the Charity's activitses, the Trustees have given regard to the Charity Commissions guidan on public benefit. 3. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE In the perii)d 1st April 2025 to 5th April 2025 the charty has remained dormant. 4. FINANCIAL REVIEW No transactions took place during this period. 5. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS From the 6 April 2025 the charity will start to trade.
