Cutthorpe Village Charity Registration Number 1183341
Trustees Report for AGM 2025
Introduction from the Chair
Welcome to our 6th annual general meeting. When we embarked on setting up the Charity seven years ago, we hoped things would develop and we all had a passion for village life and wanted to see even more connections within our small community. I think this is definitely happening and there is more to come. Tea and Toast has now run for over three years and as we embark into a fourth year, there are new volunteers joining the team and new people enjoying the monthly breakfast and chat in the village hall.
Having the charity in place has enabled us to attract small and larger grants for our community which is a wonderful indictment for those who worked to so hard to set up a charitable organisation to enable this to happen. We are in the process of applying for a grant to help make the planned village picnic a success for young and young at heart alike. We are also hoping to host some live and local events next year, look out for them, you will be in for a treat! We are hoping to have more litter pickers and other items to help us keep our lovely village looking spick and span. We have embarked on a fundraising venture to restore the seat around the Coronation tree opposite the village hall. We are working in conjunction with the Parish council to make this happen after an appeal by some villagers. We like to listen so please keep your suggestions coming.
We held our first two AGMs by zoom and gathered together in the village hall for the next three meetings, a wonderful opportunity to meet up! We will be meeting in the hall again this year and hosting a consultation meeting for anyone in the village to attend after the AGM, complete with cake. I do hope you are able to come along and stay for this.
Our membership continues to be a good stable base for the Charity and this year we have been able to welcome new members. We are delighted that more people have chosen to join the Charity as it increases our ability to support each other in our lovely community. Please do consider joining us.
I am always so thankful for the time and commitment that those volunteering offer to support the activities and events over the past year from running the craft group to keeping the village looking lovely.
I look forward to another year of success as we come together to think about what we would like to see happen in our community over the coming year.
