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.

Charity Commissioners Northem Ireland
Since 8th July 2015 the Trust has been registered with the Charity Commission
for Northern Ireland. The charity registration number is NIC103349.

Trustees, Responsiblllties
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial
Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charlties in Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare
Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of
resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
trustees aro raquired to..
select suitsble accounting policies and then apply them consistently:
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charEty will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose
with reasonable acGuracy at any ttme the financial position of the charlty and enable
them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act
(Northern Ireland) 2008, the Charities (Accounts and Reports 2015) and the
provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
deteGtion of fraud and other irregularities.
