The Trustees Re ort For 2025 It has been quite an eventful year of change and progress for the charity having increased the number of co-optative trustees to eight and increasing the quorum to five. Following this change the trust board has welcomed three new co-optative trustees to the board.; one being fornierly a nominative trustee Mr Robin Lansdell, with two new to the board, Mr Christopher Pipe and Mr Jonathan Crowther, as co-optative t￿￿tees. The board also welcomed a new nominative trustee from the Parish Council, Mrs Marion Burns. A report was received about hardships in the village from the Parochial Church Council regarding parents struggling to feed their children, following discussion it was agreed to donate £500 to the fund. In the discussion of a Capital Project Plan for the Sand and Gravel Charity it was decided to seek advice from the Charity Commission as to how to proceed with regard to the prospect of building alms houses on the land. The Commissions reply was that although it might be possible the two charities must be kept separate and how did we intend to achieve this aim being trustees for both charities. Following their advice the trust board is looking further into achieving this aim in conjunction with the charity commission. All the Alms Houses have had an electrical inspection this year at a cost of £200 per unit and any remedial work required carried out to comply with the safety act. It is with great sadness that our Clerk, Valerie Ayton is retiring from the charity due to ill health, following a ten year stint. Valerie will be greatly missed by the board and all the residents, she has done a sterling job and everyone involved with the charitv wishes her well for the future. This situation has required the board to seek a replacement clerk to take over from Valerie. We have been blessed with a very capable person Louise Kemp who has agreed to take on the role of clerk to the charity and the trust board is looking forward to what will be a new era for the charity. All the trust board gives Louise a very warm welcome to her new role and look forward to working with her. The annual accounts were presented at the Annual General Meeting showing a healthy state with a good return on the charities investments with an increase on expenditure due to refurbishment of the properties.
