## The Cottages 

The charity has also continued to maintain our five cottages in Church Street. During the year the Trustees entered into an agreement with Edward Knight Estate Agents to manage the five cottages on our behalf.  This agreement is on a trial basis of a year and will be reviewed by the Trustees after taking the tenants views into account in September 2026.
