Public benefits
All of the Trust’s purposes are achieved by awarding grants to individuals and organisations on the basis that funding will have a positive impact on the beneficiaries. Those that receive a grant are required to demonstrate the direct and indirect benefit their work has on people in need via regular monitoring and evaluation. The benefits that
flow from P1 include the alleviation of individual suffering and distress through support for initiatives that address both the cause and consequences of the need. The benefits that flow from P2 include increased literacy and numeracy, increased numbers of learners participating in education and better qualified & equipped educators. The benefits that flow from P3 include greater health awareness and access to healthcare, improved health outcomes and better care for those who are ill. The benefits that flow from P4 include the financial support of charities to enable them contribute to long term improvements for people living in Madagascar or the third world. The benefits of all Purposes are demonstrated through regular feedback and evaluation of the organisations and beneficiaries supported. P1-increased access to opportunities for beneficiaries, reductions in vulnerability, social isolation, fear and powerlessness experienced by beneficiaries and greater engagement and contribution by marginalised groups. P2-access to and participation rates in education & learning, literacy & numeracy levels, standards of attainment, impact on the sustainability and health of wider family & community. P3-access to clean water, increased health awareness projects, access to healthcare, improved health & wellbeing outcomes, advancements in medical research, reductions in the number of people suffering from malnutrition, infant and child mortality. P4- the long-term impact of projects in Madagascar and the third world in sectors such as education, health & wellbeing, water provision and sustainable livelihoods. There is no harm or potential for harm as a result of the purposes of the Trust. The ultimate beneficiaries will be the general public living world-wide. While specific projects funded may be more limited in scope, they will be assessed to ensure that the public benefit requirement is fulfilled. Private benefit does exist in respect of staff employed by the Trust and the fact that the Trust's support of projects sometimes facilitates the payment of salaries or expenses to individuals. The provision of this support is, however, necessary for the achievement of the Trust's purposes and this private benefit is incidental, far outweighed by the benefit to the general public of the Trust’s activities. Likewise, the private benefits received by the Trustees as a consequence of any transferable governance or managerial skills are considered incidental and necessary in order to ensure that benefit is provided to the beneficiaries. There are no payments made to the trustees.

LFT Charitable Trust is a grant making Trust whose income is derived from a corporate donor. The Trust achieves its objectives by awarding grants to individuals and organisations for specific projects that meet the objectives of the Trust. This includes grants and support to individuals and organisations to assist in the relief of suffering and
distress; to further and advance the education of children and adults and to promote the health and wellbeing of children and adults by way of sustainable livelihood projects. Additionally, Trustees aim to support charities which in the view of the Trustees are unable to obtain, or have difficulty in obtaining, funding from traditional funding sources and which are primarily focussed on Madagascar or third world countries and with the aim of making long term improvements to people’s lives in such countries and in particular within the sectors of education, health and welfare, sustainable livelihoods and water provision.
