## **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**
