At the beginning of Covid-19 outbreak, the Reydon Trust saw an increase in applications from families requiring support. This was augmented in a variety of ways, from food vouchers to be used in one of Reydon's shops, white goods and flooring for the home, carpeting for tenants in social housing in the area or help from the local food banks, either in town at the VHC or the Lowestoft Food bank, which Flic from the VHC has access to.
Last Christmas the Trust gave all primary school children in Southwold and Reydon a Christmas card and £10.00 book token.
Again we have made a substantial grant to the Reydon Pavilion build project. The Trust had previously helped this group, providing funds to purchase the land for expansion and provided funding towards the building work. It is hoped this project will be completed during the year.
Also during the year, we have provided funds for an electric supply to Jubilee Green,
A grant to Southwold tennis club to enable them to get match funding for a new pavilion.
A number of Reydon private individuals have been helped with financial support to enable them to further their education.
We also supported Restitute, a charity run by a local person that covers the whole of Suffolk, it offers support to family's surviving sexual abuse or violence. These introductions come from the police or social services.
The Trust has been asked by individuals for grants to pay off personal debt. This we do not do.
Also, we have helped the Suffolk Wildlife Trust to fund bike stands at Reydon Wood, these will be used by many people from our community.
The collapsing world economies from Covid-19 and now the War in Ukraine is an ongoing concern to the trustees, the capital is invested with the CCLA, who have again done a good job managing to increase our capital to £1,100,000. This is on deposit which allows us to spend about £30,000 in the parish of Reydon on need, hardship or distress.
