The governance of the charity evolved significantly during the year. Sarah W8SS Stepped down as
a Trustee after manyyears of involvement and support. Stephen Crowther joined in an advisory

unable to attend meetings due to other time pressures.
Significant effort was made to recruit additional newTru8tees. In May 2025 a further four nevv
Trustees were formally appointed, all of whom were local to the Almshouses and living within a
short walk. They brought a variety of invaluable experience and showerj an enthusiasm to get
'stuck in, to the many practical issues facing the charity. Not least among these was the limited
capacity ofthe clerks I property managers to providethe support needed to effectively manage
the ongoing and future challenges that were faced by the charity.
The Trustees met formally several times during the year. includingto address and progress
specific property related issues.
The main activity undertaken by the charity to further its chaiitable purposes for the public

is available for the'old residents of the City of Yorkwho are over 60 yèars old" who 8re.aged or

challenges these presented and began a process of prioritising the actions required.
