and John for their valuable contributions as trustees. The Trust welcomed Stephen Kerr (Masterton), Mark Kilmister (Napier) and Geoff Milner (Gisborne), who were appointed to fill the vacancies.
I would like to thank all the Trustees involved with the Trust over the past twelve months for their assistance and support, both to me and to the Trust.
STAFF
The Trust is fortunate to have a relatively stable staff, and there were no changes over the last twelve months. Bev Watkins, Raewynne Jacobs, Jill Wolland and Patricia Devlin have continued to deal with the applications for donations and the administration of the Trust with professionalism and skill. The Trustees appreciate the contribution the staff have made to the efficient operation and continued success of the Trust, under the outstanding leadership of the trust manager, John McKenzie. We wish to place on record our sincere thanks to Bev, Raewynne, Jill, Patricia and John for their continued passion, professionalism and commitment to the Trust.
LOOKING AHEAD
The new donations database and financial management system, Te Kete Putea, has now been operational for more than twelve months and its advantages are being realised as staff become more familiar with its operations. During 2012 the next stage of the system allowing the introduction of web-based applications will be implemented offering advantages to applicants as well as the Trust; however, paper-based applications will continue to be accepted.
While the Trust continues to hope for a more settled financial environment, it is unlikely this will be realised in the coming year, and the 2012/13 financial year will continue to offer challenges for the management of the Trust’s investments. Trustees look forward to continuing to support our communities, albeit with a lower donations budget due to the lower level of income expected in the coming year. The Trust continues to operate with policies designed to protect the Trust’s assets for the benefit of our communities today, as well as in the future.
