Q. WHERE DOES THE CHARITY GET ITS MONEY FROM?

A. The Trust owns farmland, sports field and nine allotments which are leased to various individuals and organisations. Other income comes from the interest of  its liquid assets

The organisation is registered with the Charity Commission and exists to support the village church, education and the poor of the Parish.  It has existed for well over 100 years and is governed by seven trustees. 

 

Bedfield Town Estate Fund Distribution

Part of the remit of the BTE is to consider the distribution of the funds. The original Trust Deed was set up to enable maintenance and repair of the church, therefore a large proportion of the income is used for that purpose. The remaining amount  is distributed for education, those in need and the general benefit of the residents  of Bedfield.
