Approval of the 2017-18 accounts to be passed to audit. PDF 119 KB Minutes: The 2017-18 accounts were presented to the trust,
We heard that total income amounted to £42,975, £14,903 being from Roger Edwards Endowment Trust, and £28, 702 from investment income.
The REET income had not yet been received.
With regards to the loss amount of £16,226, the Finance Manager agreed to go through the accounts since the investment with Charibond had started and would report findings to the Trust.
The Finance Manager took the opportunity to inform the Trust of information received from the Charity Commission with regards to the REET. Currently we receive two thirds of their income and REET had approached the Trust to reduce that to one third. Following a meeting with REET we had proposed an interim measure which had been declined. The Charity Commission has advised that in order for REET to change their objectives they need to approach the Charity Commission, who would not approve proposals unless agreed by Trustees.
Officers had explained the difficulties encountered in spending reserved and had received advice that we should work with Coleg Gwent to look for ways to invest.
Members suggested agricultural apprenticeships to support farmers as an area of discussion. Also, supporting individuals, infrastructure projects and new courses.
Next action would be to meet with Keith Backhouse to discuss further.
