The Annual Report of the Truro Community Property Trust Year ending September 2023 Charity Number 1136731.

Once again, it’s been a tough year for our charity with the major loss of income from one of our commercial properties which remained empty right up until the end of our present financial year.

We have as usual provided the RBL Poppy Appeal with the necessary space to run a very successful appeal, and we have also provided meeting rooms for the local RBL branch to hold its meetings.

Other Donations made this year included being able to install a new floor for Truro Gymnastic Club. Monies also went to the Truro Homeless Action group who provide a wonderful service and great food for the homeless. A flag was purchased for the Truro and Morlaix twinning group, to display on

the city’s major roundabout to welcome our French guests during their annual visit. More about this later. Four of our local primary schools also accepted our donation to help the unfortunate children in our community to ensure that they had a proper Christmas dinner, including of course turkey and crackers; this is always one of our most special and best donation. Truro Old Boys group received a donation towards their quest to raise money for local cancer research, another a very special project. This year we were able to provide a very special Christmas lunch for the volunteer members of SAAFA, who do an outstanding job for the veterans of Cornwall. The 1[st] Threemilestone Guides received a donation to provide more equipment to help them maintain helping the younger generation. Once again it was our pleasure to offer a donation to run the St Pirans day

Parade, a great turnout and a brilliant day for both the young and older members of our community. Truro Civic Society benefitted from a donation to help it run a number of local talks. As I mentioned earlier as well as the Flag, we also gave a donation to the twinning association for the visit of our French guests, another enjoyable weekend and a wonderful advert for our city. Our last donation of note was to Truro Male Voice Choir who will this year help to run the International Choir Festival which will bring a large number of visitors to our city. Our major disappointments include the children’s New Years firework display being cancelled due to bad weather, and of course the cost of bringing the unlet buildings back into use. This will of course bring us a considerable uplift in finances in the coming year

which will mean us being able to provide more help to more organisations and individuals. We do believe that despite our disappointments we have been able to fulfil our charitable aims for another year.
