Trustees' Report for the Year Ending 31 March 2007

On behalf of my fellow trustees, I have great pleasure in presenting the annual report for The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury Incorporated for the year ending 31 March 2007.

Major Projects

The year was marked by the purchase, refurbishment and opening of the new community house on Strathallan Street in Timaru. Housing the offices of a great variety of not-for-profit organisations, the building also contains the trust's offices and has well-utilised meeting spaces that are available for use by the public.

That this major project, representing an investment of $2.4 million, was completed on time and within budget, is a credit to the efforts of Simon Dorman and the property committee as well as the trust staff – John Wilson and Sally Marsh, the contractor Ranger Construction, subcontractors and project manager, all of whom worked very well together to create the wonderful facility.

Another significant project was the facilitation of the establishment of the Volunteering Canterbury organisation in our region. This organisation complements the work of the community trust by training and supporting volunteers and doing much to recognise and promote the value of volunteers in our society.

In the general distribution rounds, 119 donations were made to a wide variety of groups from throughout the region, ranging from very small to $150,000 for the Ashburton Aviation Heritage Museum. The wide variety of applications received always continues to impress the trustees as it is an indication of a healthy, vibrant and caring community.

Financial Position

The new community house building was purchased and refurbished by the trust during a time of strong investment returns. This was fortunate as the returns for the first quarter of 2007 were down significantly. Distributions were maintained at a level consistent with other years and the trust is continuing to build reserves so that the community will be able to be well provided for in the future.
