✨ Community Trust Report
THE COMMUNITY TRUST OF MID & SOUTH CANTERBURY INC
CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013 (Continued)
During the donation budget process it was decided that the income of the previous year would be the guideline figure used to set the level of donations for the next year. However, as always, the quality and/or the significance of the application to meet community needs will be the main factor in determining donation request outcomes. The Community Trust has become more responsive to meeting community groups’ needs by increasing the frequency of application consideration and decisions are now made on a monthly basis.
Trustees
During the year the Ministerial trustee appointment process saw Jan Hide, a Timaru-based business retailer appointed on 1 November 2012 as a replacement for Jean Taylor. We acknowledge and thank Jean Taylor for her commitment to the Community Trust, along with her valued input to deliberations during her four year term. There was a change in Chairperson at the beginning of this financial year as Nicola Hornsey stood down from the role and was replaced by Peter O’Leary. We salute Nicola Hornsey for her leadership during her five years as Chairperson.
Staff
Since the implementation of a new structure to the organisation, Liz Shea as Chief Executive Officer and Clive Callow as Community Relations Manager have applied their knowledge and expertise to the benefit of the Community Trust. During this time, they have strengthened the trust and donation management processes and enhanced the quality and delivery of material for Trustee consideration. We appreciate their efforts and also acknowledge the valuable input of Sally Marsh, our Office Administrator.
25th Anniversary
2013 is the 25th Anniversary of the Community Trust and we would like to acknowledge past trustees and their contribution to the Community Trust over this time. The Community Trust has given over $21m to organisations and projects in the Mid and South Canterbury region and it is very satisfying to know that this has made an appreciable difference to the health and wellbeing of the community.
