Trustees’ report for the year
This year the SVCT Trustees met on 30/08/2022 to approve the 21/22 accounts. The combined AGM of the SVCT and the Sheet Association was held 28/10/2022. Apart from the publication of Sheet News (now in full colour and in its 30[th] year) the Sheet Association supported two events this year. The first was the Platinum Jubilee street party in June which attracted over 350 people. The second was the Winter Warmer Café, providing warm drinks and cakes in the Village Hall every Friday in the winter for those in need during the current cost of living crisis. Grants have been received from the Sheet Parish Council for last year’s Platinum Jubilee lunch, this year’s Coronation lunch and the Winter Warmer Café. Grants
2
were received from East Hants District Council and Hampshire County Council for the Platinum Jubilee lunch but they appeared in last year’s accounts. Hampshire County Council also provided a grant for the Winter Warmer Café. So far no village assets have been transferred to the Trust but it remains a facility to safeguard village assets in future against any potential change in council governance.
Public benefit
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance of the Charity Commission with regard to public benefit and are satisfied that throughout the year under review the Trust fulfilled the requirement to operate solely in the interests of the public and for its benefit.
