Chairperson’s Report for the Trust’s Financial Year Ended 31 March 2008

On behalf of my fellow trustees, I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report of The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury Incorporated for the year ended 31 March 2008.

The annual public meeting for 2008 is to be held at the new Ashburton Events Centre, a community facility towards which the trust has now contributed $500,000. Holding the annual meeting in Ashburton provides the trust with an opportunity to publicly recognise the efforts of the local community in providing and obtaining funding for projects such as the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, the Aviation Museum, Ashburton Senior Citizens and the Safer Community Council.

It is also an opportune time to publicly acknowledge the work of the local trustees – Geoff Geering and Heather Sim. Geoff and Heather have worked tirelessly on behalf of the Ashburton and Methven Districts to ensure that these areas receive an equitable share of the trust’s funds. They have an in-depth knowledge of the people and organisations that are working and volunteering in their communities.

Donations

Over a million dollars was distributed to more than 120 community groups in the last financial year. Many hours of non-financial support were also provided to groups and my thanks go to trust executive manager John Wilson and office administrator Sally Marsh for this work.

In 2007, the trust moved to improve its donation policy so that the needs of the community could be better served. As a result, the trust now has four donation rounds that consider applications of up to $10,000 and two donation rounds that consider applications over $10,000. The aim of these changes is to allow community organisations to apply for funding at a time that is more suited to their needs.

Large donations tend to be for capital projects and this year was no exception: $175,000 was donated to the Ashburton Aviation Museum for the construction of a new hangar, the Ashburton Vintage Car Club received $50,000 to assist with the extension to their buildings and $100,000 was donated to the SBS Events Centre in Timaru to extend their kitchen and storage facilities. The South Canterbury Hospice received $80,000 towards their new building and the Te Runaka o Arowhenua Society received a donation of $75,000 to assist with the upgrading of their facilities.

Financial Investments

The most disappointing aspect of this report is the performance of the trust’s investments. For the year ended 31 March 2008, our return was –3.66% compared to 6.01% the previous year. The return was significantly less than expected. The position was largely caused by the volatility of the markets across all asset classes during the second half of the year.
