Devro gives back!
After noticing our 60th Anniversary banners outside #Devro Moodiesburn, the local football team, Rossvale Alba 2011s, reached out to us as they were raising money for new kits and equipment.
One of the young teammates said his Grandma remembers when the Moodiesburn site first opened in 1964, and 2 generations later we were more than happy to donate £500 to the local team and help give back to our local community.

Fabulous! What about the other local football team Bridgend? All players are from Moodiesburn and surrounding areas. I know the 2015 team (which my son plays for) would be very grateful to be considered for any future donations. Proud to have Devro within our village.
I focus on authenticity, empowerment, the origins and consequences of trauma and abuse, manipulation, and healing from the many challenging personal lived experiences that have shaped me. Founder of Wanderer's Way.
I'm curious about the terms of the Decult Charitable Trust, including details like the non-charitable income beneficiaries, the duration of the trust before its funds are released to a fully formed nonprofit organization, the specific charity or nonprofit it benefits, and the percentage of the trust’s annual income paid as taxable income to non-charitable beneficiaries, if any. Given the prevalence of fraud in the nonprofit sector, I prioritize supporting causes that demonstrate integrity and transparency, managed by well-intentioned individuals.
Wanderer’s Way established a trust, but a US Charitable Remainder Trust in October 2023. Though this allows for a tax deduction for donors, it differs from direct donations to a charitable organization. To avoid misleading anyone about how their contributions are managed, I have not publicized the Wanderer’s Way CRT. Most Charitable Remainder Trusts reserve donations for a nonprofit for 20 years, delaying the nonprofit's access to these funds while 5%-50% of the annual income earned from the investment of the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are distributed out to the non-charitale income beneficiaries named in the trust as ordinary and taxable income during the 20 years the Charitable Remainder Trust is in effect.
If the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are well-invested, it is the non-charitable income beneficiaries who will benefit from the trust's earnings over its typical 20-year term. This is why proper donor education, governance, independant third-party oversight, and records transparency are crucial.
I fully support Decult’s mission and purpose but advocate for rigorous third-party oversight. My inquiry is not meant to undermine your efforts; I recognize the challenges faced by those working to address the world’s most egregious wrongs. I'm committed to charitable oversight and transparency, having seen abuses of charitable tax laws. My aim is to support organizations and professionals that tackle trauma, abuse, mental health, and anti-cult/anti-coercion issues ethically and compassionately.
I'm equally dedicated to protecting charity's sanctity as I am to aiding global healing from trauma and abuse. Wanderer’s Way is committed to governance, oversight, and transparency, ensuring our dedication to our cause and the public's understanding of our operations and resource use.
To me, charity is a Heavenly grace, one that I am fully dedicated and determined to protect with the upmost integrity.
Could you please provide full access to the trust document and all amendments? Making these documents public would be a reasonable step towards fostering trust and transparency, aligning with the trust's purpose and the confidence you aim to instill in your supporters and the broader community.
Once more, I remain unwaveringly dedicated and fully supportive of Decult’s mission and purpose. My goal is to foster equally strong confidence in its leadership.
