| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2026 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The charity is established to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the inhabitants of Collingham, Nottinghamshire and the surrounding area (the area of benefit), by associating together with the inhabitant and the statutory authorities, voluntary and other private or public sector organisations. |
| The policy of the charity is to channel all incoming funds to the point of need as expeditiously as possible, consistent with due diligence evaluations of grant requests and any restrictions placed by donors on the uses of which their donations can be put. |
| Public benefit |
| The Trustees have considered, in conjunction with the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance, public benefit have concluded: |
| - That the aims of the organisation continue to be charitable; |
| - That the aims and work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector both indirectly and directly to individuals in need; |
| - That the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay; and |
| - That there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities. |
| Grantmaking |
| The trust's procedures for processing grants, includes a requirement for the recipient to be nominated by third-parties, and to then apply setting out the purpose to which the grant will be put. The application and its contents is then vetted and verified by a team of volunteer grant administrators who approve the payment before it is made. |
| ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| During the financial period 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, Collingham Community Trust continued supporting mainly local good causes as identified online. During the year a total of £30,728 was awarded in grants, distributed among 43 different recipients. |
| The mainly small organisations to which grants were made were under the twin financial pressures of increased operating costs, coupled with an increased in demand for their services. In some cases, the grants made to them by thee Trust formed a significant proportion of their grant income, thus enabling them to maintain their level of services. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Financial review and reserves policy |
| It is the Trust's policy to operate solely on a pro-bono support of its office-based secretariat and grant-administrators; this enables it, broadly, to ensure that virtually all income available can be fully committed to its grant-making activities on the strict proviso that no commitments are made beyond the cash available to meet them. |
| On this basis, at 31st March 2026, the Trust held cash reserves of £27,282 to maintain its grant-making activities going forward. |
