2004 Annual Report

On behalf of the Trustees (Murray Tilyard, Graham Crombie and myself), I am pleased to present this inaugural report for the South Link Education Trust.

The Trust's funds are invested in a balanced portfolio, primarily cash and bonds with a small mix of equities and alternative asset classes to add balance. These funds are managed on a day-to­day basis by Forsyth Barr Ltd and reviewed bi-monthly by the Trustees.

At this stage the income received is allocated with one-third to direct beneficiary benefits, one­third to global education activities, and one-third to increased capital.

In the 2003/04 financial year the Trust assisted a number of projects:

  1. IPAC Conference
    The Trust sponsored the keynote speaker, Dr David Colin-Thome. Dr Colin-Thome was an excellent speaker who gave an overview of primary care developments in the United Kingdom.

  2. Otago University Matagouri Club
    The Trust has a three-year sponsorship contract with the Otago University Matagouri Club. This is a group encouraging rural interests in medical students; the long-term goal is to encourage students to consider General Practice as a career.

    Although this contract was approved in the 2003/04 financial year, the first yearly payment of $5,000 will occur in the 2004/05 financial year.

  3. Book and Journal Offer
    You will have been a recipient of our book and journal offer. We plan to repeat this offer in the 2004/05 financial year with a wider selection of resources.

  4. Queenstown Conference
    The Queenstown 'Celebration of General Practice' was funded from the 2003/04 financial year surplus as it took place after year end. This weekend came about after wide consultation with our beneficiaries, and feedback from the weekend has been positive. The Trust will consider sponsoring such a weekend in the 2004/05 financial year.
