✨ Community Trust Report
24 AUGUST 2011 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 132 3629
Wynne Raymond, who was first appointed to the Trust in 2005, brought with him extensive governance experience, legal acumen and a wonderful way with people. I will always value the support and encouragement that Wynne provided to me as I took on the role of Chairperson.
In 2010 the Trust welcomed new Trustees – Rex Whiting, Michelle Brett and Peter O’Leary – who are all from Mid Canterbury. Although all Trustees serve the Mid and South Canterbury region, having three Trustees from Mid Canterbury does ensure that knowledge of the activities of the various community groups of the Ashburton District is imparted to the Board.
I thank all my fellow trustees for their support and contributions to the business of the Trust this year.
STAFF
The constantly changing membership of the Trust Board necessarily leads to constantly changing ideas as to how the Trust can best develop and implement strategies to achieve its vision of supporting a region of healthy, vibrant, caring communities. Working in an environment of constant change requires patience and an acceptance that nothing is ever the same. So to our staff – John Wilson and Sally Marsh – on behalf of my fellow Trustees, I extend our sincere gratitude for your preparedness to adapt to and implement the various changes wrought by the Board.
One of the most significant changes that staff have had to address this year, is the introduction of a new data management system – Te Kete Putea. This is a combined Community Trusts initiative and in due course, will streamline the internal donation application process and allow for on-line applications to be made.
DONATIONS
The Trust approved donations totalling $1 045 623.00 this year. Accountability Reports are required from each successful applicant and the stories that some of these reports contain are inspiring. From grants as small as $285.00 made to the Waimate Croquet Club, to grants as large as $100 000.00 made to the South Canterbury Roller Skating Club, the positive impact on the community, from the activities of these groups, is tremendous.
Supporting the work that members of our communities undertake in order to make our region a better place to live, particularly the work of volunteers, is the most rewarding aspect of being a Trustee.
