## **Objectives, Activities and Achievements** 

This Charity, now a CIO, continues to be a member of the Almshouse Association, managing a Grade 2* listed building, operating within Derbyshire, and whose objective is to provide independent living accommodation within its10 properties. 

The Trustees continue to aim to ensure, through good governance, that the aims and objectives of the Trust are achieved and fully comply with their duty, as described in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, having due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit when exercising any powers or duties. 

Work on the outstanding internal general maintenance and improvements to the properties continues, together with discussions, and selection of Architects to carry out next Quinnquennial Inspection held. 

This year saw the trustees say goodbye to one of our residents who had been with us for many years but we also welcomed three new residents, into three properties that changed occupants. 

This change of occupants did however provide the opportunity to undertake some of the improvements that are best undertaken when properties are empty. 

The residents have begun to reap the benefits of the installation of the secondary glazing and together with the freeze on level of Maintenance Contributions for this year, have thanked the Trustees for helping to reduce the effect of the large increase in cost of living that has affected all. 

After a slow process from the Charities bank in setting up new accounts to satisfy the Charity Commission, the old accounts are still in use, but expected to close early next year. 

Since gaining planning approval for the creation of a car parking area the Trustees are now seeking quotations for the first stages of the work, planned to begin in the new year. It is hoped that next year will see significant progress on this project. 

After further discussions with the residents, who have now decided a preference for 'Vouchers' in lieu of Christmas hampers, the vouchers were distributed by Trustees. 

Work began on updating the Charities Handbook with all trustees participating in deciding its format and content. 

This year has seen changes to the Trustees. 

Mr Payton who ceased to be a Parish Councillor decided to retire his trustee position, and Mr Sargent who having retired from Farming, introduced Mrs Anne Faulkner, another local Farmer who agreed to become a trustee and represent the National Farmers Union, with Mr Sargent agreeing to continue as a trustee. Mr Wilton our representative from Repton school announced he would be replaced shortly. 

Mr Payton was thanked by all fellow trustees for his 6 years as a trustee and the work he had undertaken during that time.
