Trustee selection method
The Rector and Church Wardens are automatically trustees and other local people are invited by the trustees when vacancies arise.
Charity activity during the year
The income of the Trust has been from rent of land in Scratby and Ormesby St Michael. The Trust has contributed to the maintenance of the Parish Church and supported the needy and elderly in the Parish.
Reserves Policy
Our reserves are being mostly held in an investment fund with NFU Mutual for an ongoing term, and transfer the remainder is held with COIF.
Grant Making Policy
The Trust provides a set financial support grant to elderly parishioners in line with amended 2020. A system of application for support has been instituted and publicised throughout the Parish. This year grants have been made to support the maintenance of the Church, and to support parishioners in the Ormesby St Michael Parish (limited to this area only) with support cheques twice in the year around July and December.
Investments Policy
Short term money is being held in an account at Lloyd's TSB and long term investment is split between a COIF deposit account and NFU Mutual investment fund.
Review of major risks
The major risk is believed to be the possible need to find a new tenant for the land at Scratby and the possibility of coastal erosion.
Review of achievements in 2025
Trustees agreed to further steps taken to moving to a CIO status coordinated by Victoria Allen with solicitor support.
Ongoing support provided to parishioners of St Michaels and trustees reviewed further scope of support within the parish to make best utilisation of funds held by the Trust, increasing grant support provided to Parishoners. Data drives were also completed to move more to online banking payments instead of manual cheques, driving better standard for grant making and safer payment delivery.
