Middleton on the Hill Parish Charity The charity is managed by a small group of local trustees. It is their duty to manage the charity’s assets and to distribute the income from those assets annually. In accordance with the original aims of the charity the income is to be used for three purposes:
- the Church,
- Advancement of Education and
- Relief in Need.
It has been the practice of recent years for the trustees to issue grants to Middleton Church, St James School, students in secondary education, senior citizens over the age of 70 and occasional individual cases of need. In an effort to modernise and reduce administrative costs the Charity aims to pay all donations via the BACS system directly into recipients’ bank accounts. If you live in the Middleton on the Hill parish and feel you might qualify please contact Mrs C Halls at Highlands. The charity owns three small parcels of land, two of which are available to rent by tender at the end of each financial year. If anyone is interested please contact the secretary. Privacy Policy: Middleton on the Hill Parish Charity does not disclose grant recipient details to anyone. Names are recorded in the minutes and will be retained and eventually archived in Herefordshire’s Archive library. Any data held is used for distribution of funds.
