greater number of individuals benefit from Trust funding than indicated in the total outlined in this section.


STRATEGIC AREA COMPETITIONS


The Trustees recognise the importance of rewarding those who demonstrate good practice and aspire to further their development by entering various industry competitions. They are very keen to recognise the achievement of these specific skills by providing educational scholarships for leading industry competitions and by awarding prizes. The Trustees do this by working closely with competition organisers to ensure that the funding is targeted towards the education, training and development of the competition finalists/winners. There is no doubt that investment in skills has boosted Britain’s eating–out image, with Britain having more Michelin- starred restaurants than ever before, principally run by British chefs.


In the year under review, the Trust supported 9 industry competitions and awarded 4 City & Guilds examination winners’ prizes with funding totalling £53,223. A refund of £2,433 from a grant accrued in the previous year for this strategic area reduced this figure to £50,790 (2007: 12 competitions/5 City & Guilds prizes, £77,200). Detailed below are those competitions/prizes that received funding from the Trust.


Strategic Obj ctive e


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.
