Dundonald Christian Trust Year Ended 5th April 2023 Trustees. Report Tha trustoos hava pleasure in presenting the Dundonald Christian Trust annual report for the year ended 5th April 2023. In view of the size of the charity and the small amounts of income and expenditure, the trustees have decided that it is appropriate to present the accounts on a receipts and payments basis. History of the Association The Dundonald Christian Trust was established in 2008. It is now registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (NIC103349) and is run by the board of trustees. Prlnciple Objectives The aim of the Trust is to support and further the religious and charitsble work of St Elizabeth Dundonald, to advance the Christian religion around the world and to support religious education and training. The Trust administers donations, regulates giving and considers applications for support. Organisational Structure The organisation has been structured in a way that ensures our members are able to access management and committee promptly when required. Our structure also ensures clear management responsibility and accountability. Donors There continues to be a small number of donors who give regularly to the Trust. Activity during the year ended 5th April 2023 Grants given The Trust has received very few appllcatlons during this tax year, perhaps because of the ongoing effects of the recent pandemic and also much of the funding being restricted. Unrestricted donations to the Trust have only been received towards the end of the tax year. However the Trust has given 2 grants totalling £6,000.00 to organisationslpeople undertaking a variety of Christian workleducation and training in line with the objectlves of the Trust for example: To St Elizabeth Church, Dundonald for the funding of the post of Curate; also to a young person working as a Ministy student here in a church here in Belfast. Those awarded grants from the Trust have been asked to provide feedback to the trustees so that we can monitor how well the grants are being used to meet the Trust objectives.
