New procedures were put in place in March 2020, for the processing of crisis and urgent grants and all beneficiaries of a Regular Charitable Payment were automatically reviewed, to ensure that no beneficiaries were disadvantaged by the absence of a renewal application, as a result of the COVID-19 national lockdowns.
The 2020 financial year was a reasonable one for the Trust despite the impact of Covid-19. The accounts show net income of £59k after investment gain.
“I just wanted to drop you a “vote of thanks” for all the support we get each month from the Trust. The money you send each quarter has been a literal lifesaver. During lockdown and Covid restrictions our food bill has increased as the supermarkets change the way they put on offers, as usual food choices were scarce and alternatives needed to be found. Your money has been amazing. I have been able to buy new shoes for work and clothes for me and my daughter. So I am simply sending a thank you, that during times of Covid, the one thing you can rely on is yourselves, wonderful, caring and supporting you!”
