The Trust was able to recoup an overpayment of grant totalling £1,000 that had been made to Shaheen Cricket Club in a previous financial year. Agreement is that this will be repaid by direct debit at £50.00 per month. At the 31 March 2022, an amount of £100 was outstanding (which has since been repaid in full).
The working party members confirm an individual applicant’s eligibility to receive grants before recommending an award. The working party members confirm that there are a significant number of eligible young people benefiting from the organisation/group activity before recommending an award. There has been excellent feedback received by the Trust from those benefitting from grants which evidences the impact and benefits and demonstrates that the funding is being applied in line with the objects.
5.2 Cullingworth Courts
Following further marketing, the Trust accepted an offer, and progress has been made on the disposal of this asset.
5.3 Investment policy
The current general policy has been to invest Trust monies in safe investments, rather than risk capital losses. The Director of Finance has advised that Trust funds used for day-to-day cash management should be held by Kirklees Council
Investments are held directly in the following:
-
UK Bond Fund - the objective of which is income generation
-
UK Equity Fund (historic investment) - the objective of which is capital growth
The Trust normally earns income on its balances with Kirklees Council, which is effectively the current account. No interest was paid in the year.

The site was unavailable for bookings during this period, and it was concluded that the site be disposed of. Following technical advice a planning application for the change of use was submitted to enable best consideration for the asset.

The investment policy will be kept under review by a subgroup of working party members together with Graeme Wilde
