ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
In the year under review the grants awarded and paid amounted to £1,338,231 (31.16% on 2010: £1,020,293). As anticipated there was an increase in the amount of funding awarded and the Trustees consider this is due in the main to the budget cuts in education discussed in the ‘review of the year section’ of this review. The Trustees funding would appear to be all the more vital in the current economic climate and they believe the grants awarded will help the recipients meet the challenges of the global skills agenda previously outlined.
The Trustees retained their focus on those projects that supported skills development, retention, and continuous professional development. The Trust’s charitable activities appear below under the three strategic areas of support.
