## **Trustees’ Annual Report on Activities in the year 2023** The Silverton Parochial Trust, formally known as the Silverton Parochial Charity, comprises numerous individual bequests to benefit the poor of the parish, some dating back nearly 400 years. The present scheme was approved by the Charity Commission in 1990, combining the many bequests and legacies into a single manageable charity fund. The Trustees are charged with the task of managing the fund and applying the income to the relief of hardship or need to persons resident within the Silverton parish boundary. When those needs are met there is a secondary responsibility to apply the surplus to the general benefit of the parish. The Trust remains in a satisfactory financial state, and it continues to fulfil the general aims and objectives of the original benefactors in meeting the claims of the needy within the parish. When an application is received and the need established, the Trustees are able to help from the funds available. The Trust is managed by Trustees, whose names are listed at the end of this report, their appointment being in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. The Ex-Officio Trustee is the incumbent of the benefice of St Mary the Virgin, Silverton who was appointed as Rector of the parish in March 2020. There are currently 6 other Trustees and 1 officer (a secretary) who is not a Trustee. The Trustees held ten meetings in the year 2023. ## **Finances** ## **Grants in Aid** The Trust currently pays the Mid Devon District Council rent for one personal alarm system; and has installed and maintains two stairlifts. Some examples of grants given were for help with a van repairs to allow a self employed parishioner to continue with his business, car repairs to allow a parishioner to continue to travel to work and support with rent for a parishioner who’s hours had been reduced. In addition community help was given in grants to the Silverton Evangelical Church to help finance a Youth Worker who is currently running a youth club for the local children and to a local childminder to do Forest School training for the benefit of the village children. ## **The Future** The Trustees continue to be pro-active in identifying cases of need for assistance and to publicise the trust within parish organisations. There are extensive plans this year to carry out work on the properties in order to update and improve them. Continuing financial restrictions and pressures mean that applications for assistance continue to be received which the Trust has been able to meet. The Trustees continue to enjoy an excellent relationship with the carers and other organisations within the parish, thus helping to maintain a public awareness of the Trust and its purpose within the community. ## _Jane Isaac_ Chair and Trustee **Silverton Parochial Trust: Trustees and additional officers 2023** **Mr James Blackburn** 24 Fore Street Silverton EX5 4HP **Mr Adrian Bolt** 7 Ellerhayes Hele EX5 4PU **Chair Mrs Jane Isaac** 24 Silverdale, Silverton EX5 4JF **The Rev’d Paul Kingdom** The Rectory, 21a King Street, Silverton, EX5 4JG **Mrs Sue Tucker** 24 Wyndham Road Silverton EX5 4JU **Treasurer Mr Duncan Harrington** Leigh Cottage, Leigh Barton Silverton, EX5 4DA **Mrs Vicki Maylan** Little Oak, 18 Coach Road Silverton, EX5 4JR **Additional Officers** Secretary Sacha Feehan 4 Davies Close Silverton, EX5 4DL The Silverton Parochial Trust Re8lstered as The Sllverton Parothlal Charlty 201255 2023 Totsl Funds 2022 rotolFimds Recelpts Propèrty and Land Rent COIF Charities Deposrt FLErb COIF Charities Investment Fund National Grfd- Wayleave Totsl Rtteipts 29.0 29.05Q 51 6.797 K7d7 35.872 A88et •nd Investment Saleset P•yments Property Repairs & Maintenance Insurance Administration Property Managernent Fees Grants & Communlty Projects Totsl Pa￿￿Trts 8.681 1527 2.505 816 3,053 .053 Net Rtt•lpts 19.350 Transfers 8etween Funds Per COIF Charities Deposit Fu￿1 -I7.￿XI 17.6 Cath Funds La#Year End 21 Curront Account Depoth Attount Cash FundsThls Yur 23.394 20,0 43394 The Silverton Parochlal Trust Registered as The Silverton Parochial Charity No. 201255 21JZ2 T4xoI Fu,?ds Total FyThls Cash Funds.
