THE TRUSTEES OF PHILIP METCALFE ALMSHOUSES
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 01/01/2023 – 31/12/2023
Throughout the year all properties were occupied with no change of residents, and no issues with the residents.
Significant improvements were undertaken as part of the Trustees strategy to update and future proof the properties. The existing oil fired central heating system was replaced by a ground source heat pump supplemented by solar panels in the adjoining field forming part of the Almshouse curtilage. This was largely funded by a grant from West Suffolk Council.
The surplus energy generated by the solar panelling will provide an income to offset the costs of running the ground source heat pump.
The Trustees also continued the improvement and updating of the fabric of the building.
To fund the improvements the Trustees called upon reserves accrued from previous years.
The Trustees have operated without the service of a clerk, and continue to look for a suitable candidate.
I thank my fellow trustees for their continued hard work and support throughout the year.
R A J Holliday Chairman
