Introduction
Another year has passed and the Almshouses in Workhouse lane continue to provide housing for the folk of East Farleigh as they have done for over 400 years, long may they continue to do so.
Cottages
The cottages being rather old continue to be a drain on our resources Peter trustee responsible for all work on the cottages is regularly contacted by
the residents with problems some minor some major that are swiftly dealt with by Peter organising the various trades to sort out the problems
This year we have had a Defibrillator fitted to the cottages ,that could benefit the residents and neighbours hopefully it will never be required .
Gardens
The gardens are looking very neat and tidy . We are very fortunate to have a man and wife team whom in recent years have maintained the gardens to a high standard ably guided by Malcolm Smith Trustee responsible for gardens.
Another new rotary washing line has been installed this year
Committee
The committee remains unchanged for another year , supported by are long standing Secretary Hilary Moon.
The committee continue to serve the needs of the charity and its residents .
Residents
The residents continue to live in relative harmony and in good health.
Summary
With the support of the committee we will serve the charity in maintaining the cottages and gardens ensuring a pleasant environment for all the residents to live in
I would like top take this opportunity in thanking all members of the committee for all their work they do in supporting this charity
R F Yaxley
Cottages
Being over 400 years old the cottages are in need of constant attention and expenditure, with the easing of restrictions we have been able to catch up with some of the work namely — electrical work re-decoration and the complete refurbishment of No. 1 Cottage that became vacant early this year.
We have also managed to catch up on the boundary hedging that had been neglected over the years.
Residents
This year saw the leaving of long term resident s Keith and Gina Nichols from one of the cottages, we are currently seeking a new resident to take over No. 1 cottage.
Despite the difficult times the residents continue to live in relative harmony and in good health.
Committee
Last year I reported that one of our Committee members — Trevor Jones was resigning„ fortunately he has been replaced by Malcolm Smith whom is a resident of Workhouse Lane, we wish him well.
Very recently our long serving Treasurer resigned, we are currently looking to fill this position. Debbie joined the Committee in 2013 and inherited a rather archaic way of working, turning it into a computer generated system, that is very efficient. I would like to thank Debbie for her hard work and diligence.
Summary
With the support of the Committee and in spite of Covid we will do our best to continue our work for the charity in maintaining the cottages and gardens, to ensure a pleasant environment for all residents to live in.
I would like to take this opportunity in thanking all the past/current and new members of the Committee for all their work they do in supporting this charity.
