Kings Cliffe Almshouse Charity and Endowed School Foundation
Ch￿r Report for AGM 5 March 2026
Welcome to all and heartfelt thanks io all for their commitment to running these charities.
Almshouses
The tenants of the Almshouses have remained the same this year. There have been some minor
repairs undertaken this year including repainting window frames. We have not managed to
implernent our plan of light touch inspections this year but hopefully we can do so ne￿ year.
Plans for developing new Almshouses on the site below the existing ones are proceeding, albeit
slowly. The Trustees approved the payment for an initial preliminary sketch which has been well
received. Thanks to Steven for pursuing this.
School House
This is still rented to the same tenants and managed by Richardsons.
School Room
The lease expired in 2024 but the tenants are happy to continue with a rolling tenancy on a yearly
basis.
Land Rents
These are managed by Richardsons. Extensive clearance was undertaken on the site of the
allotments involving removal of a dangerous tree as well as ivy and brambles from the walls.
Finances
Most of these are referred to in detail in the Treasurers report. However, I would like to mention
that the trustees. aim of maintaining £10,000 in each current account has been frustrated by
Barclays, behaviour in returning cheques.
Rental Increase
Last year we increased did not increase the rent payable by Library House following the advice
from Richardsons,. However, the contributions payable by the almshouse residents was increased
by5%.
Education Foundation
During the year only four grant applications were received. As they were for a wide variety of
amounts, the Trustees decided to give each applicant £350 and these were paid out online using
the Lloyd's account.
KCEPS had applied to the Foundation for support for the Year 6 trip coach (£980.00) and severai
different wellbeing and mental health Emotional Intelligence scheme 50% of the costs of which
Trustees were delighted lo support (£3522.00).
The repairs to the flat roof and flashing which seem to have been the source of the leaks during
the heavy rain in 2023 are still being negotiated by KCEPS and NNC.
Charity Objects Registration
This issue is still ongoing. After considerable delay, a letter was received from Stone King which
raised substantial questions about whether the altered charity structure and change of objects had

been properly executed. As Robert Meakin is no longer with the firm, they were uncertain whether
the appropriate deed had been drafted, agreed, executed or registered and suggested that the
Charities find another firm to undertake the work, at their reasonable expense. After an extensive
review of the documents, thanks to the invaluable assistance of the clerk, it seems that the
problem may simply be one of registration with the Charities Commission. A letter outlining this
was sent to Stone King last year, but we are still awaiting a substantive reply.
Thanks
I would like to give my thanks to my fellow trustees for their advice and assistance this year.
However, nothing would be possible without the dedication of our Clerk Reggie. I would like to
thank her for her advice, assistance and willingness to deal with every situation.
