Letter: Wake House meeting - 05/11/09
THE Annual General Meeting of Bourne Arts and Community Trust which will be held at Wake House North Street Bourne on Tuesday November 10 at 7.30pm.
Our formal aims as registered with the Charity Commissioners are: to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Bourne and the surrounding villages (hereinafter called 'the area of benefit') without discrimination of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political religious or other opinions, by associating together the inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education, relieve poverty and sickness and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
In practice this means that the trustees are working to secure Wake House as a permanent facility for the local community and would like to share those ambitions with the wider community.
The trustees have worked over the past 10 years to ensure that the building is available for community use.
However we are not able to embark on any major capital expenditure, apart from keeping the building water-tight.
This is because to date the district council has not given us a lease that will enable us to bid for the grants necessary to undertake the expensive work needed to restore the building to its former glory.
The trustees currently support the activities of 35 organisations in the town We have every intention of continuing the service to our community that we have maintained over the past 12 years and look forward positively to many more years of activity.
Wake House continues to attract new groups and organisations, alongside others who have been with us for some time, proving the need for the community facility we provide.
This year we have attracted a number of new users including the Citizens Advice bureau who have a permanent presence in the building.
Please join us at our meeting if you wish to learn more about the work of the trust and how the wider community can both be supported by the trust and support the trusts work.
