## The Hospital of Thomas Truesdale ## **(Charity No. 220344)** ## **Annual Report 2022** ## **Introduction** This report describes the activities of the Trustees of the charity established by the will of Thomas Truesdale in 1700, for the year ending 31[st] December 2022 ## **Trustees** Mrs Viv Mitchell continued to act as Chair through 2022. Mrs Alison Warrick was appointed as a new trustee in May ## **Residents** In 2022 there has been no change to the resident population. One resident moved from a small flat to a bigger one and improvement work has been carried out on the empty flat. This means that we remained one short of the full complement of residents. ## **Activities** - The Clerk to the Trustees left her role in August and was replaced by a new Clerk with a 4 week induction period. - The Clerk and Chair continued to meet on a regular basis to conduct the essential business of the charity. - The Trustees met 4 times with one extraordinary meeting held to specifically discuss the sale of an asset. - The visit to property owned by the charity in Morton took place and a decision was made to sell the Manor farm crew yard. - The tenant who lived in No 1 West St died. The property needed significant renovation. The work was completed at the end of the year and measures were put in place to appoint a new tenant. - The charity has continued to use Mr Peter Slinger to deal with architectural matters. - A Health and Safety survey of the almshouse was carried out in March and the recommendations were accepted and carried out in full. The residents were made aware and the handbook was updated to reflect the changes. - Data protection and Safeguarding policies were devised in line with Almshouse Association guidelines. ## **Assets** - A grade 2 listed almshouse building divided into 8 flats – insured value £2,395,326 - A 2 bedroom property no 1 West St – insured value £302,289 let at a rent of £5659pa - Manor Farmhouse High St Morton, a detached farmhouse with garage, large garden and crewyard.
