An excellent collaboration between the Clerk to the Trustees and LB
Southwark's Exchequer Services Team enabled the charity to more than
double the number of pensioners living in The Ancient Parish of
Rotherhithe in receipt of the annual stipend.
Following a trial exercise in February 2024, LB Southwark sent 1456
letters to pensioners in receipt of Pension Credit, or potential Pension
Credit claimants, living in the 2 full electoral wards and 3 partial electoral
wards that comprise the charity's Area of Benefit in August 2024.
The Clerk to Trustees subsequently received over 120 enquiries, mainly
by phone. Following a brief check against the charitls eligibility criterla
for stipends, those that appeared to be eligible were invited to formally
apply for the stipend. Completed applications received were assessed by the Clerk to Trustees and
recommendations on awards decided by the charity's Grants Committee.
In 2024, 49 stipend applications were received, of which 41 met the criteria and were approved
for stipends, 5 applications did not meet the criteria and 3 applications were incomplete, requiring
further information.
By the end of 2024. the charity had increased its stipendiary beneficiaries to 65 compared with 28
beneficiaries at the start of the year, of whom 4 sadly died during 2024. Those applicants and
enquirer5 that did not meet the eligibility criteria were referred to other local charities in
Southwark for support.
The charity extends its thanks to Eugene Nixon, Andrew Johnson and Thomas Watkins. LB
Southwark's Exchequer Services, for helping the charity to extend its reach to those pensioners
living in it5 area of benefit that are in need.
