2007-2008 ANNUAL REPORT PUBLISHED The Trust’s latest Annual Report, was published on 12 July at the Annual General Meeting in Sandon, Herts, and is now available.
It is in full colour this year and shows an encouraging picture of the Trust’s activities in the last financial year. The Treasurer reports on a continuing rise in the amount of funds the Trust is able to make available for charitable giving thanks to a hugely successful annual Bike ’n Hike event in September, and a doubling of the contribution by WREN to £200,000.

WREN GRANTS IN 2008/9 The allocation of funds by WREN, under the Landfill Communities Fund, for 2008/9 has been announced as £100,000. The Trust has now to find 10% third party funding plus a further 1% administration fee before this money can be released and become available for churches to apply for. Third party funding last year was paid for by Bedford Borough Council, Mid Beds District Council, South Beds District Council, Beds County Council and a small Bedfordshire charity. To mid June 2008, we have been offered funding by Bedford Borough, Mid Beds District and Beds County Councils. Thank you to them. |
