Chairman’s Report 2020/21
The charity uses the rental money from the Old Fire Station for any public purpose for the benefit of the residents of Ascot.
Our annual accounts show that we continue to support the young, old and disadvantaged in the Ascot Community. Covid had an impact on all areas of Community interest and we supported sports clubs so they would remain viable, individuals who had specific needs and working with other local charities the purchase of Laptop computers for Primary School children. Covid created the need for advice on a range of issues and the Trustees supported the Citizens Advice Bureau, the Dash Charity focused on supporting those subjects to domestic abuse and a local hospice.
The trustees continue to seek out causes that have the potential to grow and deliver value to the community of Ascot as well as support individuals that have fallen upon difficult times. We are a small charity but have in excess of £30K a year to award in grant and will consider any requests for grant that are for the benefit of Ascot Residents.
