02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Trust's objectives are to provide for the cost of maintenance and treatment of Protestant ministers, missionaries and Christian workers and others engaged in such work at establishments owned by Crieff Hydro Limited or its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Charity's trustees expend the income generated in each year in accordance with the objectives of the Charity as expressed in the Constitution. In order to achieve this, the trustees provide a subsidy to suitably qualified applicants wishing to stay at an establishment owned by Crieff Hydro. The level of subsidy is reviewed regularly to try to ensure that there is neither an overspend nor a significant underspend of the Trust's income in any year. In addition, the charity initiated a retreat for newly ordained ministers which will took place in February 2025 and attracted 45 attendees.
