DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS
INTRODUCTION
In February 2021, the Charitable Trust initiated a three-year strategic plan to increase annual grants from £25,000 in 2020 to £50,000 by 2023. This target was surpassed, with over £56,000 granted in the final year to support a diverse range of initiatives aligned with our Trust’s objectives. In 2024, our grants further increased, exceeding £63,000. Below is a detailed breakdown of last year’s grants
This significant growth can be attributed to two main factors: an increase in contributions from Constructors, which enabled more funds to be distributed, and a more proactive and strategic approach by the Trustees. This approach included enhanced engagement with beneficiaries and a more structured method of giving.
