Finance Manager Kevin Traynor said, "Whenever members booked a holiday with Riviera Travel (RT) their U3A received an unrestricted donation from RT which the U3A could spend in accordance with its objectives as per its constitution.
"However, in order to comply with the Charitable Institutions (Fundraising) Regulations 1994 as amended by the Charitable Institution (Fund-Raising) (Amendment) Regulations 2009, Riviera Travel would have had to enter into legally binding agreements with every U3A whose members used Riviera Travel.
"This presented Riviera Travel with a significant administrative problem and so Riviera Travel have entered into such an agreement with the Trust to administer these donations on behalf of the U3As.
"We want the U3As to continue to benefit from these donations and so following discussions with Riviera Travel, the Trust has agreed to administer these donations that become due after 1 April 2020.
"With Riviera Travel’s agreement the Trust will deduct a 10% handling charge to contribute towards the cost of administering the scheme".
Riviera Travel has asked us to include the following offer as a result of this change:
