The Tarn Moor Trust was established by a scheme of governance dated 8 November 1999.
Its charitable object is “the general benefit of the inhabitants of the area of benefit in such charitable ways as the trustees think fit”.
The area of benefit is the residents of Skipton, and the means by which the trustees achieve the object is by using income received from the charity’s landholdings and other investments for the purpose of providing grants to organisations in Skipton.
The charity’s board of trustees meets on a quarterly basis to consider and award grants, and will meet more frequently if necessary to consider special business. The charity’s land holdings and other assets are managed on its behalf by a Managing Agent who advises on land acquisitions and disposals, and reports regularly to the board of trustees on income received and available for charitable donations.
