Strategic Area Competitions
The Trustees would continue to recognise and reward the achievement of specific skills by supporting the leading industry competitions. Funding allocated for competitions is specifically targeted for the provision of educational scholarships/prizes as this fits comfortably within the remit of the Trust. The scholarships should be used in a way that furthers the education, training and development of the individual.
ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In the year under review the amount expended on charitable activities amounted to £633,701. This included a good mix of reactive and proactive projects which identified the key deliverables that would lead to the achievement of the strategic objectives, and went some way to meeting the challenges of the global skills agenda outlined in the ‘review of the year’ section.
The Trust’s charitable activities appear below under the four strategic areas of support. Also under this section (pages 38-41) the Trustees report on projects awarded funding in previous year ends which have made considerable progress or come into fruition during the year under review.
STRATEGIC AREA EDUCATION
The Trustees consider that projects supported under this strategic area are at the very core of the Trust’s main aim. Grants totalling £436,611 were awarded, although a refund of £9,000 from a grant accrued in the previous year for this strategic area reduced this figure to £427,611 (2007: £572,847).
In keeping with the objectives of the strategy and one of the aims of the Trust, namely e universit yin
