Eco-Friendly Charity.... Charity Update 17th September 2009
Barby Townlands and Educational Charity was created when a number of smaller local charities were amalgamated. The charity can trace its roots back to the 19th Century, but some of the covenants go back further.
Pete Wright is the Chairman, he is happy to speak to anyone about the charity. The Vice Chair is Richard Camp. The Treasurer is Carol Hamp. The other trustees are Derek Middleton, Sally Robbins, and Peter Owen. Our paid clerk is Catherine Camp.
The trustees meet quarterly.
The purpose is to benefit the parish and at the same time protect the assets for future generations.
The charity's assets are spread throughout the village. The Play Area, the Tennis Court, and the Sports Field are leased to the Parish Council. The Allotments are managed by a trustee, currently Sally Robbins. The Millennium Orchard and Petanque Pit are managed by the Charity. The farm land beyond the sports field going down Longdown Lane is leased to a local farmer and Barby Garage, opposite the Arnold Arms, is leased to the proprietor of the garage business. Both the farm land and the garage are managed through our land agent. There are also investments in the Charities Investment Fund, an unit trust. The charity takes a very responsible position in relation to the maintenance of the assets and money is spent annually to ensure that what we pass on is in the best condition we can manage.
The charity prides itself on giving something to everyone who applies for a grant, the figure usually varies between 50-100%. All we ask is that the application is in writing and it details if other funding is available.
If you require any further information please get in touch with any of the trustees.
