The Charity shall not apply any part of its income directly in relief of rates, taxes, or other public funds, but may apply income in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds.

The Charity shall not commit itself to repeat or renew the relief granted on any occasion, in any case.

Income is also applied for “relief in need” in accordance with the following provisions:

The Trustees shall apply income of the Charity which may be applicable for relief in need in relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the area of benefit who are in conditions of need hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items services or facilities calculated to relieve the need hardship or distress of such persons.
