Lionel Abel-Smith Trust
The Trust was established in 1977 when Lionel Abel-Smith, Lord of the Manor of Wendover, gave the village a number of properties in Pound Street. His wish was that the rental income be used to support organisations and individuals in Wendover. Over the years, more than £1.5 million has been awarded in grants and loans. The Trustees will hold their 42nd Annual Meeting on Wednesday 29 April 2020 to consider grant applications from individuals and organisations from within the parish of Wendover and the Moor Park Estate. Applications must be received by Friday 28 February with full contact details and, if possible, email address to: clerk@ wendovertrust.org or Clerk to the Trust, 51 Dobbins Lane, Wendover Bucks HP22 6DL. For details go to www.wendovertrust. org. Grants can be made for real need throughout the year.
The Village Gate
Just before Wendover News went to press for February, the freehold to the Village Gate site went on sale. Full details from everardcole.co.uk.
Youth Concern Aylesbury
On 5 January, 126 local people (and 16 of their dogs) turned out to walk off some of their Christmas (and New Year) cheer whilst raising money for Youth Concern Aylesbury’s Next Step project. The 10k walk, supported by local businesses including Kings Farm, Sweeney’s Budgens (Wendover) and Ashridge Group, took in the Chequers Estate and Coombe Hill, among other sites, and raised £3250 for the project. Well done walkers!
