The Ttusl's long-term investment objective is to generate a return on capilal ¢quivalenl 10 the movement in th¢ Consum¢r Price Ind¢x plus 3U/o per annum; the shor¢-iem) investment objective is to achieve th¢ long-t¢nn obj¢ctive without undue fluctuations in the income arising from its inN'estments. The trusiees endeavour to inv¢st in companie5 whose activities are lawful and do not offend generally commonly accepted standards of dcccncy and fair dealin¥. They have regTaid to the guidelines of the EthiLal Iniesunellt Advisory Group ("EIAG"l of Ihe Church of England.

The tNst¢e5 us¢ all income arL5in¥ on the Endowment and Expendable Funds to finance the TNsi's grants programrn¢ and its administration leaving the capital of the Endowment Fund intact. The trustees use both incom¢ and capital arising on the restricted and desigllaled funds to finance bTrants from those funds.

Conflicts of interest rolocol Trustees havc a legal duty to act in their Lharity's be51 interests when makinsi decisions a% a trustee. and il is rccoenised that. from time to tim¢, they will have a conflici of interest where an individual trusl¢e has a perwnal OT other interesi in a matt¢r ihat affccts the charity of which helshe is a trustee. Such conflicts need to be managed, and, in this ¢onn¢ction. the trust¢¢s follow the Charity Commission's guldance in followillg a three-step approach li.e. identify, prevent, rccordl. Before each meeting> of the Irustees and the committees, trustees are invited to declare an}. interest they may have in th¢ business of the meeting and any such d¢¢laratiO are recorded in the minutes. In addition, when the trustees discuss th¢ matter in detail, the Irusiee concerned does not take part in the discussion and recuses him or herself from any decision. This action is also recorded in rhe minutes.
