a) Trustees meet in February,
May, September and November each year.
At the February meeting a budget for the
year is discussed. Allocations
were made to cater for grants required
for major projects such as domestic
equipment; Christmas goodwill; School
uniforms; and Higher education.
Any shortfall in funds to be made up
from our Unrestricted Funds (Income
Shares).
b) At the discretion of the
Chairman, a meeting with those likely to
be in a position to suggest
beneficiaries such as probation, social
and health services, churches, school
head teachers, and others, may take place
early in the year, the object being to
discuss progress of existing grants and
their likely future requirements.
c) All requests must be made on
an official application form, and must
have a supporting letter from a
recognised sponsor likely to be someone
falling within the areas described at b)
above, or one of the trustees who will
visit the applicant. A guide is available to
anyone wishing to apply, and publicity
is widely displayed in the area of
benefit, and at the premises of those
described at b) above, and at schools
and colleges, particularly on 6th form
notice boards. Official
application forms are available from the
clerk.
d) Acknowledgements and receipts
are sought to ensure that grants are
used for the purposes for which they are
rewarded. |
