The Community Trust (Trust) is a registered charity
responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Village
Hall complex and playing field on behalf of the village.
Funds raising by the Trust pays for the running
costs facilities, the playing field being funded mostly through
the rates administered by the Trust. If the Trust did not exist
then this work would have to be undertaken by the Parish Council
and as a result it would mean that the local contribution to
the council tax would probably treble.
