2009 Annual Report Now Available [23.12.2009]

We are delighted to present you with our 2009 Annual Report covering the activities of the Trust for the year.

Despite the challenging economic scene which prevailed during the year and impacted upon the investment values of most charitable organisations, we achieved a record of $10.5 million of grants approved for 2009 year.

The Report provides a detailed indication of the wide diversity of community needs which have been assisted by our grants during the 2009 financial year. In addition, the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Summaries which form part of our Annual Report give transparency to the public accountability obligations that the Trustees feel they owe to the community at large.

We are delighted to have been able to support so many worthwhile projects and feel certain that Helen would have been pleased to see her magnificent “lasting” legacy continue to make a difference to the lives of so many Victorians.

I hope you enjoy reading the selected stories of certain grantees in our 2009 Report, but more importantly, we thank all our grant applicants for their dedicated work towards positive change for the needy of our society. Please click on this link to download a copy.
