Cloudesley’s current Objects are set out in the Charity Commission Scheme of 2 July 1980, as amended in 2016. The Scheme states that half of the charity’s net income is to be used for the ‘relief of sickness’, our Health Object. The other half of the net income is distributed through the Church Object.
We consulted on possible revised wording which we think would clarify and update both the Health and Church Objects.
The proposed revised Objects would not affect the overall level of funds which would be available for the Church or Health Object each year, but, if agreed, would mean that it would potentially be possible for grants to be agreed for some additional purposes.
Cloudesley’s Trustees have considered the responses received and have made some minor changes to the proposed Church Object as a result. They have agreed a formal resolution and supporting case and are now approaching the Charity Commission to see if it might agree to changes to the Objects.
