GLASTRY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TRUST FUND

Public benefits

THE TRUSTEES ARE SATISFIED THAT BOTH ELEMENTS OF THE PUBLIC BENEFIT REQUIREMENT ARE MET. THE PURPOSE OF THE GLASTRY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TRUST FUND (THE TRUST) - ON FOOT OF THE WILL WHICH CREATED IT – IS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO GLASTRY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (THE CHURCH). THE SESSION AND COMMITTEE OF THE CHURCH MUST USE THE FUNDS FOR CHARITABLE

PURPOSES. THE DIRECT BENEFIT FLOWING FROM THE PURPOSES IS THE IMPROVED AND SUSTAINED ADMINISTRATION OF THE CHURCH. THIS IN TURN LEADS TO IMPROVEMENT OF THE BENEFITS WHICH THE PUBLIC CAN DERIVE FROM IT SUCH AS AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL, THE PROMOTION AND ADOPTION OF A MORAL FRAMEWORK WHICH ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO BE GOOD CITIZENS, INCREASED SOCIAL INTEGRATION, PASTORAL CARE AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE BENEFITS CAN BE EVIDENCED THROUGH THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS PRODUCED BY THE CHURCH WHICH DETAIL HOW ITS INCOME HAS BEEN USED EACH YEAR BOTH WITHIN THE CHURCH ITSELF AND THROUGHOUT THE WIDER COMMUNITY. NO HARM ARISES FROM THE TRUST’S PURPOSE. SOME PRIVATE BENEFIT ARISES FROM THE ENGAGEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND SERVICES IN ADMINISTERING THE TRUST FUND BUT THIS IS NECESSARY AND INCIDENTAL TO THE FULFILMENT OF THE PURPOSE.
