Janet and Bryan Moore Charitable Trust

The Janet and Bryan Moore Charitable Trust is a UK-based nonprofit organisation, registered with charity number 1189019. The Trust focuses on supporting projects that enhance and unite local communities in Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, and Northamptonshire.

Origins and Purpose

The Trust has its roots in the strong community ties developed through the founders' farming life. Its primary objective is to foster a strong community spirit by supporting small associations and clubs. A particular emphasis is placed on maintaining historic church buildings, which often serve as central gathering points for communities.

Activities and Grants

The Trust awards grants to help unite communities by supporting various charitable activities. These grants can be used for projects such as church repairs, youth programs, and childcare facilities. The maximum grant available per project is £20,000. Grants are allocated based on an assessment of how well the proposed project aligns with the Trust's objectives of enhancing community cohesion.

Grant Making Policy

Grants are specifically awarded to cover costs directly related to the charitable activities approved by the Trustees. This includes funding for salaries and other project-related expenditures, ensuring that all allocations support tangible community benefits.

Financials

In recent financial reports, the Trust has demonstrated substantial charitable activity, with a notable disparity between income and expenditure. For example, in the financial year ending 31 March 2024, the Trust reported total income of £26,403 while expending £89,120.

Governance

The Trust is governed by a board of three Trustees, none of whom receive remuneration or benefits from the charity. This ensures that all resources are dedicated to supporting community projects rather than administrative costs.
