OBJEcfs OF THE TRUST In 1930 William Nuttall. a local businessman and sweet manufarturer. provided funds to construct the Cottages with the aim of providing homes for elderly spinsters in need, from the Borough of Doncaster. known as the William Nuttall Cottage Homes for Aged Spinsters. Under the temis of a Scheme dateil ihe 16th January 2003 the terms of the Trust were Yevised and the William Nuttall Cottage Homes now provlde homes for ladies aged 55 years and over who are resident at the date of application in Doncasteror within a 10 mile radius who are suffering hardship or dlstress, or for such charltable purposes for the benefit of the residents ot the homes as the Trustees shall decide. The rules and entry requirements for the residents of the homes are set down wlthin the Scheme and ihe regulations for occupation of the cottages are set down in the f(esidents Handbook, a copy of which 15 Supplied to each Sident upon occupation. ADMINISTRATION The Trust currently operates with two appointed Trustees and a chairperson elected from that body annually. The Trustees meet periodicalty throu8hout the year and assemble for an Annual General Meeting in January. The Trustees are elected by the members of the Charty Board with appointments and re- appointments being decided on an annual basis. The Trustees have the power to appoint new trustees on an interim basis pending the next AGM CHAIRMAN'S REPORT l am pleased to be able to report once agaln as we close buslness at the year end of March 2025 that the Trust has once again an occupancy of 22 out of the 24 cottsges.

Issues relatin8 to damp still appear to be an ongoin8 problem in many of the cottages and is still a cause for concern. Our usual contractors have worked endlessly to Tewlve the damp issues as they arise and residents have been satisfied with the completed works. Fairclough's are a150 trying to encourage all residents to open windows and use the extractor fans installed. The other issue is that the cotta8es are not well ventilated. Bancrofts & Sons Stlll continue to manage the trees and surrounding gardens. Once again a number of complaints have been made by residents asto the lawns and tidlnes5 of the gardens. The annual autumnal fall of leaves also appear to be a problem on the grounds and reports of blocked gutterin& The proposed installatlon of new doors would no doubt have a posltive impact on resident's wellbeing and improvement of the standard of living. Installation of the doors is due to commence during the summer months of 2025 and isvery much welcomed by all residents. The Trustees have nOtid over recent years that many more of the resldents and new applicants are now in either part or full-tlme employment. They gather socially especially throu8hout the Summer months and appear to look out for one another. Faiwclough5, The TrusV5 Plumbing contractor have once again successfvlly completed a full gas and Safety check on all cottages. All were deerned complaint and approved. In summary, l and my fellow Trustees feel that we have continued to make progress this year and have maintalned the cottages despite the obstacles thrown In our path. We have throughout the year maintained the cottages to a reasonable standard and forthis we must thank our re8ular tontractors who have made themselves available for urgent works and short notice. The cottage5 are in good order and we believe that we are providing a satisfactory standard of accommodation to our current residents. INANCIAL REPORT
