THE LEONARD LAITY STOATE CHARITABLE TRUST

DECEMBER 2007

NEWSLETTER No.3

PFV

Welcome to the third Newsletter for the trust, reporting on the year ended 5th April 2007.

To avoid too much bulk, I have again tried to keep this "contents" page fairly short, and to provide links to the separate sections covered. Please use your browser buttons (forward and back) to navigate.

Our report on the activities for the year ended 5th April 2007:

·         Grants

·         Accounts

In addition this time, as the html pages do not seem to print very well, I have included Printer Friendly Versions where you see PFV at the top of the page.

Can we give £100 on your behalf to your local or favourite charity?

We would again like to offer family members the opportunity to nominate a local or favourite charity for a grant of £100. Only 10 of the 40-odd eligible family members took up the suggestion last year, and we would like to improve on this figure.  We cannot guarantee to be able to honour every request because we are bound by charity law in general and the terms of the trust in particular, but if you can follow our guidelines, which also tell you how to apply, we should be able to help. We are particularly keen to get younger family members interested.  Last year’s nominations, which include a couple of multiples from respective families, are marked “FA” on the March 07 grant list.

Repeated from the first Newsletter, I am including here links to pages about the:

·         History of the Trust

·         Terms of the Trust

·         Grant making criteria

Please also see the trust's website at www.stoate-charity.org.uk

I hope again that you find this newsletter useful and informative - suggestions on format and content of future editions will be gratefully received!

Best wishes

Philip Stoate
