Hampshire Housing Trust
Trustees. report
Tlie Trustees present their report together with the accounts of the Hampshire Housing Trust for the year
ended 5 Api"il 2025.
History, objectives and activities of the Trust
The Trust was formed by a Trust Deed dated 12th August 1968.
The Hampshire Housing Trust is a small rural charitable housing trust owning eight one and two bedroom
Cottages in Litchfield, near Whitchurch in Hampshire.
The objective of the Trust is as stated in the Trust Deed, "The Trustees shall stand possessed of the Trust
property and the income thereof upon trust to apply the same either as capital or as income for such charitable
purposes in or connected with Hampshire and its surrounding areas as the Trustees shall from time to time
think fit and so that no part of the Trust property need be retained or shall be treated as permanent
endowment"
Trustees have examined the major strategic and operational risks which the charity faces. We can confirm that
systems are in place to ensure these risks are currently minimal. The Trustees will continue to keep these risks
under review.
During the course of the year there were no major changes in the occupancy of the Trust's properties.
General maintenance and repairs have been carried out.
The Out & About Club had another successful year with increasing membership numbers and three popular
outings organised, each of which received very positive feedback from the participants.
No rent reviews were carried out in the year as our agent unexpectedly ceased trading. Ceres Rural, Newbury
have been asked to take on the role and will be conducting a full review of the rent and property maintenance
during 2025.
The Trustees believe that the objertives of the Charity have been fulfilled, and that the Trust is providing a
public benefit.
Financial review and reserves
The Trust has unrestrlcted funds of £644,904 of which £347,326 relates to properties. The remaining reserves

The Trusvs policy is to maintain sufficient reserves for routine annual expenditure, the funding of substantial
