Ob"ective of the Trust
The object of the charity remains as set OLrt in paragraph 4 of the Trust Deed It is Yo
promote for the public benefi( the education of persons under the age of 25 who are
in need of financial assistsnce and are resident in the parish,. The relevant parish is
Offt)rd D'arcy viith Offord Cluny.
Trustees
The trustees are Rev Jeremy sa￿ Mr Stephen Eayrs, Mr John Storey and Rev
David Sheppard (with effect from 2P July 2021)
Meetin
Due to the pandemic and the low level of a(*vity. the Trusts business y￿S largely
carried out by email and telephone calls rather than by formal meetings.
Activi
the Trust
The major activity engaging the Trustees during 2021 was the disposal of the
cottage and adjoining small hall referred to in Part 2 of the Schedule to the Trust
Deed.
The Trust Deed empowers the trustees to do this" paragraph 5.2 says the trustee5
have the 'power to sell, lease or otherwtse dispose of the all or any part of the
charity's propety described in part 2 of the schedule..
In accordano wth the guidan￿ provided by the Chanty Commission in their
document 'Sales, leases and transfers or mortgages". what trustees need to know
about Ihe disposing of charity land,, the twstees obtained a report from Westtey &
Huff Chartered Surveyors in November 2017. The report concluded that the building,
which had gradually deteriorated in condition over many years was 'a in need of
considerable updab'ng and improving..... and 'tt maybe that the best altemative
would be to redevelop the site subject to planning perniission.. Steps were taken,
through the instruction of an architecL to obtain planning permission but the costs of
pursuing this proved more than the Trust could afft)rd.
Accordingly Thomas Morris Estate Agents of St Neots vEre instructed to sell the
propety toward the end of 2019. This proved protracted, firsUy as the deeds could
not be traced and tiue had to be restored via the Official Custodian and seLxJndly a
sale of the property fell through at the end of 2020 just prior to exchange. The
property was re-marketed and the property was sold to an arms length purchaser ft)r
£231,000 (£31,000 more than the previous atK)rted transaction) following best and

final sealed bids in February 2021 and with the agreement of the trustees. The sale
completed in June 2021. The sale proceeds net of fees and costs totslled
£227,415.60
In December 2021 a request was received from Offord school for the Trust to ftjnd
the supply of ipads for the use of the pupils in the schLK)l as the school were unable
to afford these. This transaction was still outstanding at the end of 2021, so will form
part of the 2021-2022 reporL
The Trust did not engage in any other acttvits.es during 2021.
Financial matters
A copy of the Trust's ac¢ounts whith have been professionally reviewed is attached
to this report.
The major financial item during 2021 was the re￿Ipt of the sale proceeds for the
propety at 181 High St refe￿ed to above. The only other financial transaction during
the year was payment of outstsnding gas and electricity charges to Shell Energy
totalling £1,800.
In her report. the auditor rightly drew attention to the need to formalise our record
keeping and this is now being done.
The Future
The sale of the propety at 181 High St Offt)rd Cluny has provided the Trust wth
funding to enable it to support the education of young people in the parish where
finan￿ is an issue, and li will conts.nue to do so in the years ahead.
