Winchester Villages Trust (WVT)

Councillor Walmsley briefed the council on the role of the WVT. The trust’s organiser, Sue Lane, is hoping to talk to Sue Down shortly about becoming the parish representative. The council noted that, should both parties wish to proceed, it will need to pass a formal motion nominating Sue Down as its WVT Trustee.

Appointments

Since the council had not nominated a representative for many years, nor had there been any communication with the organisation, it was subsequently agreed to drop the Winchester Villages Trust from the list of appointments.

PC Representative to Winchester Rural District Welfare Trust.

The Parish Council expressed its sadness and regrets at the recent death of Mrs Caroline Harman who had been our parish’s representative on the Winchester Rural District Welfare Trust since 1970. The Trust administers small grants, often confidential, to persons in case of sudden need – for example transport costs for trips to hospital – where such aid is not available from public funds.

Mrs Harman discharged her responsibilities so discreetly that the present parish council only recently became aware of the debt that we owed her for this activity. If anyone feels that they would be able and willing to continue Mrs Harman’s work please would they make themselves known to the Chairman in the first instance.
