**Trustee recruitment and appointment**||| |||| ||SCIO created on 1st April 2020 (Charity no SC050061)
Constituted under a document of trust which explains the
objectives and powers and indicates how it is governed.|| |||| ||Trustees are appointed from within each of the Lieutenancies
of Banffshire and Moray. They are appointed for their
particular expertise and also their geographical location. They
are not all members of the Lieutenancies, but could be drawn
from local businesses.|| |||| |**Objectives and activities**||| |**Charitable purposes**
**Summary of the main activities**
**in relation to these objects**||| ||* To rovide financial and other relief to the eole of Mora as a result of an disaster or|| ||p pp y y
mishap or illness or virus as decided by the Trustees as appropriate.
* To seek to advance the Health and Education of the people of Moray who may be
affected by such causes.
To relieve poverty and prevent poverty which may arise as a result of the above.
*To encourage the advancement of citizenship among the people of Moray to support the
purposes of the organisation.
*To provide relief for those in need in Moray who may have suffered as a result of any
disaster or mishap or illness or virus in Moray
*To carry out any similar purpose which the Trustees may decide under the above objects.|| |||| ||Through a public appeal substantial funds were generously donated by
local businesses and individuals. This then allowed the Charity to invite
applications from individuals and families, via an online application form.
The charity was considered to be a "funder of last resort" when all other
avenues of support had been exhausted. All applications had to be
supported by an independent professional referee who knew the
financial situation of the applicant. In excess of 600 individual
applications were assessed and processed in the period to Sept 2021.|| **2** ## **APPENDIX 1** ## **Achievements and performance** |**Summary of the main achievements of**
**the charity during the financial period**|| |---|---| ||Initially the fund was launched to provide relief to those
suffering financially as a consequence of Covid 19. It
operated until 30th September 2021 when the grant scheme
was closed to individuals and families for that specific purpose.
In the summer of 2022, when 108 Ukranians arrived in the
Moray area, an award was made by Trustees to that group.
During the financial year ended 31st March 2026 the only
transactions through the bank accounts related to monthly
interest earned on a Savings Account. This income amounted
to £211. There was no expenditure.
The charity is currently closed to applications. However
£23,607 is still held in the Bank Account, and these funds will
be retained for distribution in the case of any future
emergencies in Moray, as decided by the Trustees.| ## **Financial review** |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**
