Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, one-third of the Trustees who are subject to rotation, retire at the Annual General Meeting and retiring Trustees who are eligible may declare their intention to stand for re-election.
Risk Management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charitable company is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Highlights of the year include:
We have continued to support three projects. One has established a Community Cemetery in Pendeen, with the official opening taking place on 9 February 2025. Another manages the St Just Skate, ensuring it is safe and tidy and putting on an annual event which includes some fundraising. Work has been ongoing, as grant funding became available, to work towards submitting a Planning Application for 3 homes for local people in St Just, on a Cornwall Council owned site. This local housing work is supported by Agile Homes.
We have also continued to work with Croft Mear residents to maintain the open shared spaces and continue to be grateful to a resident for undertaking the day to day maintenance tasks, keeping costs down.
Financial Review
Croft Mear. In return for us continuing to take responsibility for the open spaces and parking area around the Croft Mear properties, owners continue to pay us a maintenance and administration fee. This is also helping us work towards a contingency fund for when the access road and parking area may need attention.
Pendeen Community Cemetery sub group. The work on the cemetery is largely complete, with the exception of a quiet space being designed in partnership with local school children. The cemetery is open and local people are purchasing plots but no actual burials have taken place. Parking permits are being sold to local people for use of parking spaces when no burials are taking place.
St Just Skate Park and Recreation Ground sub group. The skate park is fully operational and well used. There are occasional complaints about noise from users’ music systems but, on the whole, the area is respected. A contract with a local waste company to empty the bins is working well, with more regular emptying during summer months.
Local Housing. A Community Capacity Grant from Cornwall Council has allowed further surveys of the Lafrowda Close potential housing site. Surveys are to further assess services underground, check the suitability for screw pad foundations used by Agile Homes and to start gathering reports needed to submit a planning application. Agile continue to support this work but more grant funding is required to complete all reports required to submit the planning application.
Reserves Policy. Five years ago we set up a £1000 reserve fund with some of the proceeds from the fee we received when one of the Croft Mear homes was sold. We now have £5,500 of unrestricted funds, as a reserve, primarily in case of remedial works being necessary at Croft Mear.
Priorities for the coming year:
-
Continue to work with Croft Mear residents to maintain open areas in-line with their wishes and needs.
-
Support the St Just Skate Park and Recreation Ground subgroup to manage the skate park facility.
-
Continue work with Agile Properties and others to submit a planning application for the delivery of 3 modular, sustainable homes for local people.
-
Listen and support other community led groups wanting to secure land or buildings for community benefit but only take on financially viable schemes.
