Girton Town Charity

The Town Charity in Girton, which works under the name Girton Town Charity, is registered with the Charity Commission under number 203217 and is governed by a scheme made on 9 May 1985 and modified on 8 March 1996. It exists to assist those in the Civil Parish of Girton Cambridgeshire both individually

and collectively, which it does by keeping almshouses and by making grants to individuals in need and to organisations in the Village.

There are seven trustees: five are appointed for four-year terms by Girton Parish Council and two, for five-year terms, by the Trustees themselves. The Trustees meet approximately once each month. Reports of what Girton Town Charity is doing are made to meetings of the Parish Council and at the Annual Parish Meeting, which is usually held in April or May. In recent years the Girton Parish News has printed the report presented by the Trustees to the Annual Parish Meeting to ensure everyone has access to the information. The Annual Report and Accounts are also published on the Charity Commission web pages later in the year.

A full list of Trustees and contact details is published in each edition of the Girton Parish News.
