The Jubilee Trust is the Parish Charity that was set up in 1982 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the Parish. Now 40 years later we are still going strong working to achieve the aims of the Charity; to help alleviate poverty; assist those who are lives are affected ill health or ageing, also to spread Christianity. To year end 31st March 2023 we have raised a total of £173,631.00 which we have redistributed to a variety of good causes.
The Trustees would like to thank the Parish as a whole for their continued support of the work we do raising money within the Parish and redistributing it to others in greater need.
As the world has emerged from Covid over the past year the Jubilee Trust has resumed a full programme of fundraising and supporting events in and around the Parish. Therefore, whether you have bought a Lottery Subscription, called “House” at in one of the Family Bingo Nights, attended a First Friday Lunch or donated to or danced at the Ceilidh, we thank you for the part you have played in enabling us to continue the work started 40 years ago.
The 5 Trustees (plus Fr Sean) wouldn’t be able to put on this variety of events without contributions from our wonderful volunteers, who come back time after time to help with the myriad of tasks needed to make these events successful. Thank you to our voluntary helpers.
Trustees are expected to serve a 5 year term. Due to Covid the routine turnover of Trustees has slipped. Recently we have been able to start to rotate again and welcome Derek Bond as a Trustee. In gaining a new Trustee we have to say goodbye to Jenny Jean-Jacques who took responsibility for media and publicity since 2016. Thank you Jenny for all you have done to promote and support the Trust, especially undertaking a visit to the Marian Home in St Lucia and renewing the commitment of the original Trustees to help them.
If you would like to know more about the Jubilee Trust, have any suggestions for fundraising events or are aware of a charity or good cause that would benefit from some financial assistance please speak to Ann-Maria Loughman or one of the Trustees.
