## **Annual report of the Chair of Norwich Children s Charitable Trust for 2024/25** 

It has been another difficult year for NCCT. Financially there has been no improvement on last years situation. 

The main focus has been on the on-going negotiations over the lease for the buildings that the Trust occupies. Ever since the Trust was created Norfolk Area Meeting of Quakers have let the property to the Trust. The existing lease was created in 2005 and gives the Trust absolute security. The lease can only be ended by agreement from both sides. The Area Meeting of Quakers has decided that they no longer support using buildings for social purposes or supporting charitable and social enterprises and therefore they wish to dispose of all buildings other than those used for religious purposes. 

The negotiations are now entering their 7[th] year with no end in sight. 

On a more positive note Tree house Children s Centre , the support of its work is the one of the charitable aims of the Trust, is now supporting 40 children via its nursery program. This operates as a social enterprise and keeps prices to a very low level. Operating at maximum capacity means the centre continues to provide a valuable public benefit. 

The Trust is very keen to continue its work of supporting NCCT and so fulfilling its own charitable objectives to its utmost ability.
