Applications for assistance are considered by the Trustees at quarterly meetings or more often if there is a need **.** Grants are made in accordance with the objects of the Charity to individuals or organisations on their behalf such as schools, clubs and other local charitable institutions which work towards the advancement of education in the area of benefit. The Trustees have an arrangement with Leicester Charity Link of Leicester Charity Organisation Society Ltd (Registered Charity No. 1078271) to assist with the assessment of hardship applications and to distribute funds accordingly. Leicester Charity Organisation Society Ltd is an old established charity with a vast experience and the resources to deal with hardship applications.

During the year ended 30[th] June 2021 total grants of £19,220 were paid to help and support young people and their families, and others in need, with payments directly to the individuals themselves or to organisations on their behalf including: - £1,440 to families to provide school clothing and footwear £1,592.78 to students for books and learning equipment £12,187.52 to schools for specific projects £1,500 to Raynes scholarships to students £2,500 to Shouler bursaries to students for further education Administration expenses and governance costs amounted to £1,370.95. Grant payments continued to be affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic this year. For example, no grants were given to individual students for educational travel and a summer school was cancelled. However, this was offset by grants to help schools provide necessary information technology for children learning from home during lockdowns. During the year, trustees agreed to move investments to the COIF Ethical Investment Fund. This was completed and will be in effect for the year ending June 2022. The Trustees have reviewed the attached financial statement as at 30[th] June 2021 and consider this to be a fair and sound position.

INVESTMENTS** Investments 846,680 846,680 The investment income consists of COIF income shares. Since changing to the receipts and payments basis the assets have not been revalued. 63,579 COIF income shares are held as permanent endowment to generate income for the general purpose of the foundation. The investment is therefore held in a restricted fund, while the income generated is transferred to the unrestricted fund as it is earned. A legacy received in 2000, the sale proceeds of land in 2001 and a donation in 2014 have been invested in 4,783 COIF income share which are held to generate income for the general purposes of the Foundation. The investment is, therefore, held in an unrestricted fund (see note 3). ## **2.
