Geranium Trust - Reg Charity No. 1176738 Annual Report 2020 - 2021
The Geranium Trust was founded in 2017 to offer friendship and support to those living with loneliness & isolation. It also offers support to young people with learning disabilities & differences. It works entirely for the public benefit. We do this by organising regular tea parties, roast dinners and by providing space for a community garden and 23 acres of wildlife haven. We also provide space at our chairman's home, Court House, for other organisations such as the N.H.S. and local hospice where they can hold their own support and training sessions. 2020 – 21 started with the promise of more lock downs due to Covid. The tea parties, and LGBT Sunday roast dinners,had to be put on hold but we kept in contact of our usual guests by regularly phoning them. ALL activities at Court House had to stop. It was decided that the charity would continue with it’s free library which we placed each day by the gates of Court House and we also made use of the unused red telephone box in Barwick village as a library and at once became a big success. Most of the day we would see people coming to the gate alone to choose a book. All donated and returned books, as before, were placed in a large red bin and these were isolated for more than a week before being returned to the shelves. The gates to Court House, and the garden gates were left open and most days we’d see people walking the public footpath across the land. Being in the countryside we were in a good place to spend the months of on and off lock downs, but many of the younger people who come here from Able2Achieve, Yeovil must have felt very cut off as they were unable to leave their homes to visit Court Farm. The trustees believe that its public obligations are as defined by the charity commission and we look forward in the hope that things will soon be better for all of us and that we can soon return to some sort of normality.
