THE PUTTENHAM TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT for Year End 31st December, 2023
We continue with the upgrade of our letting properties, and are pleased to report that the last shop requiring work has now been completed and is fully let. We have also started work on the final remaining property which has been empty for some while. This is in the process of being upgraded and converted for use as a beauty parlour with a view to having it let by mid 2024. To this end, work is also planned for the entrance yard which will benefit a number of our tenants by way of a safe back entrance. It is through the letting of these properties that we receive our income.
£10,000 has been donated to the five local hospices that we support, and a further £9,000 towards local education resources, mostly grants to university students.
We continue to support the upkeep of our local Church, St.Mary’s, by way of finance toward maintenance of both the church and churchyard.
