The trustees, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2022. ## **Objectives and activities** ## _**Objects and aims**_ The object of the charity is to provide relief either generally or to individuals persons resident within Exmouth parish who are in need, hardship, or distress, who are sick, disabled or infirm. The Charity does not provide grants in relief of rates, or taxes. ## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_ In furtherance of the objects detailed above, the charity provides grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship, or distress, alleviate the suffering, or assist recovery of such persons. The limit of any grant is £300 per individual in any one year. The Charity also provides food vouchers at Christmas. ## _**Public benefit**_ In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and to its supplementary public benefit guidance on fee-charging. An individual’s economic status, gender, ethnicity, race, religion or disability do not form part of our assessment processes. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Achievements and Performance** Due to the general cost of living crisis the charity has provided an increase in grants during the last twelve months. Most of these grants have been to provide white goods, flooring, or cover child fees. In addition, we have provided over £1,000 in food vouchers and at Christmas distributed over £14,000 of food vouchers. Referrals are made from the Citizens Advice Bureau, East Devon District Council, various health or mental health teams and other organisations. All applications must have a sponsor and are not accepted by the individual. No monies are sent direct to the individual. ## **Financial Review** The reserves of the charity as at the year-end are shown on the balance sheet. The financial situation was monitored closely by the Trustees and in view of the continuing challenges within the community funds transferred to ensure interest and dividends received are sufficient to meet the need. The trustees do not plan any change in the activities of the charity, or the way grants are provided. The financial practices have been reviewed during the year and most grants are now paid by BACS direct to suppliers rather than by cheque. ## **Trustees and officers** The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: Trustees: Rev.
