Reydon Annual Parish Meeting
Thursday 24" April 2025
Reydon Trust Report
Hello - My name is Mike Mayhew and I am current Chairman of Reydon Trust.
In the past the Trust has been fortunate to receive an extra income stream from members
of St. Margaret's Churches congregation. These parishioners were happy to pay over to the
Trust monies from their heating allowance that they felt they could afford to gift away.
With this now ended, so has this income. It was ring fenced and used for those less well off
in our community, given as individual household grants towards heating. Much has been
paid out and the Trust has a minimal amount left. We also'put on one side, an amount,
also ring fenced, to be used as one off grants to families towards their energy bills.
The Rev. Perry attended his last meeting as trustee in early December, and we await the
appointment of his replacement.
Again, as in previous Christmases, the Trust gave all primary school children in Southwold
and Reydon a Christmas card and £10.00 book token at a cost of approximately £2700.
We also sponsor the large Christmas tree on Jubilee Green.
Susan Moore, a long serving trustee, passed away last year, she had given many years to
the Trust.
Amongst the many we helped during the last year included:_ The Men's Shed. The Old
Hospital. Southwold Golf Club. Southwold Tennis Club. Mr Bus. Waveney Hygiene Bank.
a individual with funding towards their education. Reydon Primary School for end of term
leavers; Church lunches; Reydon Village Hall towards replacing the heating system.
It is worrying to note that the Trust currently has seen an increase in applications from
young adults within our community at the less well off end of society requesting finical
help. This could be a knock-on from the recent increase in employer national insurance
reducing their working hours and their pay.
As a Trustee, the Rev Alan applied to the Trust on behalf of St Margaret's for zoom facilities
at the Church. This enabled services to be live streams throughout the Covid pandemic. My
mum died early this year and I held her funeral at Reydon church. I was able to live stream
the service, enabling her sister in Australia to be part of the day.
The capital is invested with the CCLA, who once again, have managed to hold our capital
value at over £1,000,000 while giving us a return in excess of £30,000 per annum enabling
us to use this in the parish of Reydon for need, hardship or distress.
Thank you.
