Bishampton Relief in Need Charity
Report of the Bishampton
Relief in Need Charity Trustees to the Annual Parish
Meeting of the Bishampton and Throckmorton Parish Council to be held on 13th April
2005.
- Rev. David Hassell ceased
to be a trustee upon vacating his post of Rector of
the Parish as he was an ex-officio trustee. The remaining trustees expressed
their thanks for Rev. Hassell's work as a trustee and for his assistance
in
serving as Chairman and Treasurer to the Charity.
- The trustees wish to
place on record their gratitude and thanks to Mr, John
Sanders for his very valuable help in administering the leases on behalf
of the
trustees.
- The trustees
made two grants to assist parishioners during the present year.
- The
two nominative trustees - Mr Eric Jones and Mrs Elizabeth Lane, and
the
two co-optative trustees - Mrs Sheila Moule and Mrs Mary Averis have
continued the management of the trust. The new rector will be an ex-officio
trustee of the Charity when he takes up his post later in the
year.
- The Charity's value
at present is approx £10,000. The value changes
as the
value of the investments in the Charity Commission's portfolio varies with
market
movements.
- If anyone knows of a
parishioner in need of assistance they should approach
any of the trustees with details. All matters pertaining to grants from the
trust
are kept strictly confidential.
