The West London Student Trust

Putting Learners First

The Trust has been incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee (Company Number 737148) and is also registered with the Charity Commission (Registration Number 1142088). The details of the organisation have been entered in the Register of Charities which is open to the public for inspection as will be our governing documents and, when available, our accounts.

• Composition of the Trust

  The Trust consists of the Fundraising and Grants Committees who meet regularly. The purpose of the Fundraising Committee is to raise funds for the Trust through charitable giving by staff, students, former students, employers, philanthropic bodies and other friends of Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College. The Committees Terms of Reference.

  The purpose of the Grants Committee is to distribute funds from the Trust to deserving students of the College, within funding limits set by the Trust, and in ways which complement and supplement funds already available through the College. The Committees Terms of Reference

   

• Membership of the Trust

  Membership is primarily made up of staff employed at Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College and current and past members of the College Board of Governors.

• Conflict of Interest Policy

  The Charity Commission recognises as “inevitable” that conflicts of interest occur in the running of charities and the trustees of West London Student Trust understand their responsibility for good management of any conflicts of interest. We will ensure that where a conflict of interest, or loyalty, arises, fellow trustees know about that conflict in good time and have the opportunity to take appropriate action. The full document is attached.

• Meeting notes and action points

  The aim of the Committees is to meet twice per term – notes of the meetings are considered to be public documents and can be accessed by following the links below

• Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults

  Charity Trustees are responsible for ensuring that those benefitting from, or working with, their charity are not harmed in any way through contact with it. They have a legal duty to act prudently and this means that they must take all reasonable steps within their power to ensure that this does not happen.

  The Charity Commission is concerned to stress the importance of charities having proper safeguards in place and trustees are expected to find out what the relevant law is, how it applies to their organisation and to comply with it where appropriate. The full document is attached.

• Application Criteria

  The following lays down the procedures and policies for application, consideration and allocation of funds adopted by the Trustees and will be reviewed regularly. The full document is attached.

• Categories of Funding

  The Trust will give priority to the following:

  • Course related trips
  • Those not meeting the criteria for existing College funds and needing course related equipment and tools
  • Those on work placement or experience who need an allowance to help with travel costs and/or buying clothing, equipment etc.
