(ii) To provide financial and other assistance to any beneficiaries of this Charity by means of the provision of literature, housing, transport, clothing, pensions and other support which, in the considered opinion of the Trustees, will materially advance the-purposes of the Charity. (iii) To provide financial assistance towards the cost of maintenance, repair, improvement and use of buildings used in connection with the furtherance of the objects of the Charity. S.T.E.T. resources not only the work of St. Aidan's parish but also other Orthodox initiatives locally, regionally and nationally. Whereas it would be fair to say that St. Aidan's Orthodox Church, Manchester receives the lion share of this funding (most present donors being members of the parish) there is no limit within the Objects to the initiatives it can support. Donors who would like to have the trustees allocate their giving to specific causes should make this clear BEFORE the donation is made. In all cases, the final decision lies with the trustees as specified in the trust deed. or
