STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The Inlight Trust is an unincorporated Trust created by a Trust Deed dated 12th June 1957. It is a Registered Charity, number 236782. The Trustees who served the Charity during the year were as follows.. Mrs J Hayward, Senior Twstee Mrs S Knight, Honorary Treasurer Ms J Dunham Mrs S V8ning Mr S Collins Mr P Summerfi8ld The Inlight 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 seven cases. In general, our policy is to seek potential Trustees who- a) come highly recommended by more than one referee already known to the Trustees, or bl are known already to one or more Trustees to be like-minded in ternis 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 procedure is for the potential trustee to be first interviewed by the senior trustee and the treasurer and then, after discussion of the issues and accountabilities relating to our part of the charity world, he or she will be invited - subject lo mutual agreement- to attend our next Ihree or four quarterly meetings as our guest. Thè Trustees will then discuss the appointment and vote on it. Provided the majority are in favour the Senior Trustee will then invite our guest to formally attend our next meeting and complete the neSSary documentation as a new Trustee. In tems oftraining and getting familiar with 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.Gharit commission. ov.uk from time to time lo acquaint themselves with the guidelines for Trustees, the public character of charity, the emergence of new charitable purposes, charrties for the relief of sickness. etc. In addition, we try to make opportunities for a new trustee to 'ShadO a more experienced trustee, possibly alongside our professional advisors, as are constantly seeking to optimise particular aspects of our operations (see 2, 3. 4 and 5 below) 2. OBJECTIVES. ACTIVITIES, RISK MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Trust's purpose is the furtherance of charitable religious activities and organtsations on an undenominational basis.
There has been no material change in the Trust's grant making policy. It ntInueS to be directed towards Charities concemed wrth religious and spiritual development, healing and growth on an undenominational bask8. 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 Auditor has also agreed to assist in an advisory capacity. A part-time Administrator assists them. There are currently six Trustees in total. Decisions on Grants and the management of the Trust's assets continue to be made by the Board of Trustees 8$ a whole at regular meetings. As Trustees of The Inlight Trust we are duty bound to demonstrate not only competen, challenge, and knowlèdge of charity affairs, but to make oUrSeeS aware of any significant risks which the Charity may face on a regular basis and to ensure that the annual review of our financial and operational affairs carried out through our internal discussion8 and audit programmè will provide sufficient resource8 to deal wth any adverse conditions. AS to any fresh and significant risks and responsibilities whTrch the Charty may fa in the future. we have been concemed that °duital continuw of documents (that is th8 ability to use our information in the way we need, for a5 long as we need) and the availability of trwo signatures re Gheque5 and other legal docum8nts can both be put at risk by death, adent, changes in organisalion. management, pr¢Jcesses, technology, holidays, or travel. In practical lemis. our infomiation is only usable if we can find it, open il, work with it, understand it and trust it. In order therefore for u8 to maintain infomiation continuity and the ability to do our business, we ensure that our Administrator acts as a hub for all information, and in case of accident th* her infomiation 8y8tem will be understood and accessible to at least one named trustee. The Trustees have assessed the disclosures made in the Truslee's report and consider that these sufficiently delail the significant activities undertaken in order to carry out the charity's aims for the public benefit. When planning the Charity's activities, the Trustees have given regard to the Charity Commi88ion8 guidan on public b8nefit. 3. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE In th8 year ending 31 March 2024. The Inlight Trust made: 22-grants totaling £174,500 giving an average of £7,932 per grant (compared to the year ending 31 Marth 2023: 16 grants totaling £125,0(X) giving an average of £7,812 per granti. A detailed list of grants made in the year is included in note 5 of the attached accounts. Historically the Trustees mel quarterly but more regular meetings have taken pla since the Covld 19 Pandemic to ensure a swifter distribLrtion of funds and there are no plans for this to change. The Trustees fed that their obj'ectives have been adequately met this year. However, the Trustees are aware that there are extemal factors which could affect the achievements of their objectives. In respect of investments these are dependent on the general performance of the UK markets. In order to minimize this, the Trustees have set prudent investment policies and place relian on the technical expertise and foresigm of the investment managers to monitor and advise on necessary investment changes and suitable ass8t allocations. There are no restrictions on tYk8 Charrty's power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes into account income requirements. the risk profile and the investmenl managers ew of the market prospects in the medium temi. The overall investment poliGy 15 to maximize total retum.
The investrnents market value as at 31 March 2024 £371,879 (2023 . £987,408). Overall the investment p)rtfolio has maintained FerfOrMan and after the above reorganisation the investments are being made in accordance with the Trustees. investment policy set out above. The Trustees are satisfied with the overall perfom)ance of the investments and remain satisfied that their investment obJ"ectives are being met and their policy is being achieved. 4. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Trust's strategic income policy is to increase both the capital value wherever possible and the income of its assels and to achieve the maximum distnbution of income consistent with prudent management. As an endowed Charity. the Trust has never made an apFEal for funds. The Trust's income continues to derive from residential properties, from chartiable common investment funds and from bank interest. In recent years the government redUd our dividend income by taxaln and introduced legislation that has steadily added to our residential property Costs over and above inflation, and thus to the level of resetves required to maintain the Properttes both to a sattsfactory standard and to ensure that they meet current regulatory requirements. Accordingly. we continue to Carefully review the perfoman of our residential properties (see 5 tElow), and whilst we keep infoned about our Investsnent Fund Managers, policies V continue to be satisfied with their overall perfomiance. The Trustees confirm that all the Trust's investments are in line wtth the original deed, i%ing in elhical common investment funds. and the Trustees have been advised by their Fund Managers that our indirect exposure is less than 5% in areas of concem e.g. tobacco, armaments etc. lthilst Ihe Trustees work hard to ensure they act in accordance with all current rules and regulations, the decision was made as the world becomes generally more litigious. that it would be prudent to reduce the Trustees personal exposure and an appropriate insurance package was purchased from Zurich. Additionally. it was agreed that investigation into the merits of becoming an Inwrporated body should be undertaken. Investigation into the merits of bMIng an IncorFrf)rated b(yJy is ongoing 6. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS During the year under review. in conjunction with our respeGtive managers, we have Gontinued our pVioUSlY established strategic approach to the individual and collective Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportuntties and Threats. in respect of all our investment funds and residential properties. Working dosely with the Trust's legal advisors consideration is being given to establishing a CIO for Inlight as a replaceiiient for The Inlight Trust. This would allow the incorporated body to enter into contraGts in its own name rather than requiring the Trustees to do this in their individual capacity on ehalf of the Charity We have continued with our more attentive approach to residential properties" we continue to dispose of selected older properties in vthich there are no longer Regulated Tenants. in favor of affjuiring more modern properties. 6.
