Governing Document : Declaration of Trust dated 19" February 2003
Aims and Objectives - 1. The Advancement of Education.
- The Relief of Poverty, Sickness and Distress.
Particularly but not exclusively in the Parishes of Tenterden, St Michaels and Smallhythe by way of making monetary grants (including loans) to organisations or individuals.
Activities - The Vicar of Tenterden Trust, incorporating The Old Schoolhouse Larder is committed to serving any individual, family or group within the populations of the Parishes of Tenterden, Smallhythe and St Michaels (and in Some circumstances from villages outside this boundary if there are particular connections identified). This is done by awarding small monetary grants up to the sum of £350 and agreed by a minimum of two Trustees to any individual, family or group who have been identified to the charity as being in need efhelp.
In accordance with the Aims and Objectives (1) awards are made for the advancement of education, particularly but not exclusively for children. In 2021/2022 awards were made to Tenterden Primary Federation and St Michaels CEP to enable children to attend valuable, educational school trips.
In accordance with the Aims and Objectives (2) awards are made for the relief of Poverty, Sickness and Distress. Monetary grants up to the value of £350 and agreed by a minimum of two Trustees may be awarded to any individual, family or group who have been identified to the charity as being in need of help. In 2021/2022 as the country eased out of the Covid19 pandemic, there was a surge in poverty as many breadwinners who had been on zero hours contracts and not eligible for furlough payments were unable to meet the basic food bills, children who had been denied their free school meals were going without food, there was an increase in domestic abuse and families having to be re-located. Poor mental health and anxiety saw huge demand for help. To best address some of these issues, the work of the charity began to focus on relieving as much poverty and distress as possible by a drive to promote The Old Schoolhouse Larder. Working closely with the long-established Family Foodbank (a Kent-wide food supply charity), a steady supply of emergency Foodboxes were supplied to the charity for distribution to families who were in desperate need or who were isolating. This was done in exchange for a steady supply to The Family Foodbank of food donated by our local populations. This ensured that families got a balanced mix of nonperishable essentials to provide basic meals. This worked well but it became apparent that some of the foods being packed were not especially “child friendly” so a large social media campaign was launched to individuals/businesses to donate small amounts of money which could be used to purchase essential ambient foods that families were telling us they needed. We were fortunate in this initial appeal. A local business donated a commercial deep freezer
and a local charity donated a large domestic fridge. We also received generous donations of meats from a local farm shop and vegetables from the Market. A volunteer chef on furlough then used these ingredients to make hundreds of child sized meals which were frozen and delivered out.
In terms of the relief of distress, a family were identified as having been relocated to an unfurnished house in Tenterden following a domestic abuse crisis. This family received help from the charity in providing basic cooking appliances and a wider appeal went out to fund the purchase of beds and chairs and a table.
The charity also funded an outdoor skating and craft activities morning and picnic lunch for a group of ten children and their carers who had been identified as particularly vulnerable and distressed by the lockdowns, illness and family break-ups.
During this period, strong links were formed with other local charities, the Town and Parish Council, the Church, all the schools in the Tenterden Schools Trust, the GP Practice and Social Prescribing Team and the Social Hub which have dll served to build stronger and more resilient communities and forge mutual bonds which have served to promote and support the work of the Trust. We are grateful to all those individuals and businesses and charities and the small band of volunteers who have gone to extraordinary lengths to help us,aghieve our objectives.
Fund-raising for the charity has been hampered by the lockdowns and restrictions on social gatherings but we are extremely grateful for all the monetary donations we have received from individuals, businesses, local groups and other charitable grants for specific activities we have supported. ,
