Quiz Night raises £500 for the trust
80 or so people enjoyed a great night’s entertainment at the Catholic Church Hall on Friday 15th February, the quiz was superbly compiled and expertly presented by CYT trustee Richard Smith, and a ploughman’s meal was kindly donated by trustee Penelope Morgan and her husband John.
Assisting young people in their educational, professional or vocational training.
Encouraging them to engage in service within the local community.
Supporting them in engaging in worthwhile activities in other parts of the United Kingdom and overseas.
Supporting the development or formation of any club or organisation catering for young people's needs.
Helping young people where real need can be demonstrated.
Why is the trust needed?
Some towns and villages have inherited trust funds that mean they can make money available to causes such as supporting young people, but unfortunately Cheddar doesn’t. So the trust’s aim is to raise enough money to make meaningful annual awards to the young people of Cheddar for perpetuity.
The initial target was £100,000 but it was realised that in the long term a figure of around £300,000 will be required, depending on interest generated, if the trust is to allocate grants of £5,000 or more each year.
The trust is currently making grants of more than £4,000 a year to the young people of the parish and since it was launched in 2000 it has developed a fund of £130,000 and has provided grants of more than £35,000 to well over 200 young people.
