Wilton United Charities
Registered Charity Commission No 203189
Annual Report April 2021-April 2022
The following is a report on the activities of Wilton United Charities for the past year, April 2021 to March 2022.
The Trustees and Clerk of the charity continue to work hard in their efforts to try and ensure residents of the St Giles Almshouses feel valued and respected. The charity listens carefully to the concerns of residents and will always make every effort to ensure they feel safe and secure within their own homes. As a grade 2 listed building there will be times when we need to prioritise spending in unexpected areas, but we do our best to ensure all resident requests for improvements are responded to as soon as we are able.
The roof repairs were scheduled for a later date due to the contractor requiring a hip replacement. He needed time for this to heal, which went according to plan. The weather then played its part by offering up a couple of violent storms which created a number of urgent roof repairs for the contractor to complete. Work for the roof at St Giles is now scheduled for late Spring, early summer in 2022.
There will be other work that needs to be undertaken. We plan to put in a new bathroom in flat eight and shortly will need to consider the condition of the windows in each of the flats. This will be quite a challenging issue to deal with and I suspect will involve a substantial amount of work to arrive at the right solution.
The Chairman eventually managed to open a dialogue with the Wiltshire Conservation Officer regarding the front doors in the hope of changing the style from a boarded type to a panel door. Unfortunately, this will not be an option and we will need to replace like for like. Hopefully, we will be able to find a solution to this problem within the next year.
The board of Trustees also felt we should help Mr Philip Green who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Under Wilton United Charity ‘Relief in Need,’ the Trustees agreed to award Mr Green a grant of £1000:00 to support him and his family. This money would go towards completing the roof repairs of his bungalow, that he was now no longer able to complete himself.
The Trustees appreciate the work that residents do in keeping the building in good condition. The front gardens always look delightful, and it is clear many hours are spent in tending all the shrubs and flowers that create such a cheerful feeling as you walk up the front path.
Dealing with Covid 19 during the last couple of years has been particularly difficult for all of us. The board of Trustees encourages all residents to continue to stay safe by keeping up to date with current official recommendations regarding Covid. Inevitably we all are spending much more time at home so, consideration, respect, kindness and understanding for our neighbours is so important if we are to feel valued within our communities.
I would like to thank the clerk, Mrs C Matthews, for all her demanding work and support of the charity during the past year. My thanks also to my fellow Trustees who have supported the charity and particularly me as chairperson, albeit often by email, in many of the decisions I have taken to keep the residents of St Giles happy and mostly contented.
I R Seviour (Chairman Wilton United Charity)
