This Trust was originally formed in the 18th Century to provide winter fuel for the poor and needy in the parish, although these days a more imaginative approach has to be adopted.

The income derives from the rent of two fields and amounts to £1400 p.a. The trustees are appointed by the Parish Council and serve for a term of four years.

Councillor Jelf had completed his term of office and was duly re-elected.

The other trustees are Councillor Timms, Ray Gasson, Councillor Ray Jelf, Nigel Sheilds and Pauline Walters. Councillor Brian Clay is clerk to the Trust.
