Trustees’ report for the year
This year the SVCT Trustees met on 05/06/2023 to approve the 22/23 accounts. The combined AGM of the SVCT and the Sheet Association was held on 06/07/23. Two new Trustees were elected at the AGM – Mrs Jayne Flatt and Mrs Clare Glancy. Apart from the publication of Sheet News (now in full colour and in its 31st year) the Sheet Association supported two big events this year. The first was the Coronation Street party on 7th May
2
which attracted over 300 people and was reckoned to have been a great success. Together with the Queens Head pub it raised over £1000 for charity The second was the Winter Warmer Café, now in its second year, 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 this year’s Winter Warmer Café, also from East Hants District Council for the Café. In addition to these events the Sheet Film Club is active and has now regained its pre-pandemic level of activity and the Sheet Association website gives villagers notification of future events. 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.
