TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Year end December, 2024

All our properties are now fully occupied and trading or rented out to tenants.

We continue to provide all our local university students with an annual grant of £1500 towards their studies for the three years they attend Uni.

We are also pleased to continue with our donation to each of our four local hospices in the sum of £2000 each, for which they seem to be most grateful.

Our prime benefactor is, of course, St.Mary’s Church, Puttenham, which is one of five churches within the Tring Team Parish. Any building costs have been covered by the Trust, together with the weekly upkeep of the churchyard by our churchyard maintenance contractor. Although St.Mary’s keeps it own financial accounts for dayto-day payments, the Tring Team also cover other costs. Our deficit to the Team of £7000 was cleared by the Trust.

We are planning to upgrade the Cecilia Hall (church hall to St.Mary’s), and this is going to be an expensive commitment once we get started, although we are sure we shall have enough funds to cover this as well as continuing with our regular grants, as above.

As at 31[st] . December, 2024.
