Charities

Penllyn Community Council is the sole Trustee of two local charities. These are:

ALLOTMENTS FOR THE LABOURING POOR - Charity Number 217855
This Charity was set up by the former Penllyn Parish Council many years ago and has a very limited amount of cash assets but controls land at the Rhiw in Graig Penllyn, this site locally referred to as the "Parish Field". The Field has recently been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is leased at a nominal rent to local residents to enable the conservation interests of the site to be nurtured.

Because of the limited income the Charity derives from its assets and the relative lack of identified need in the area, grants have rarely been awarded. However, if any local person in the Penllyn area is able to demonstrate need in relation to the purpose of the Charity the Trustees would be pleased to consider an application.

The income of the Charity is aimed to: "Either generally or individually persons resident in the Parish of Penllyn who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons."

THE WINCHFIELD CHARITY GRAIG PENLLYN - Charity Number 1110224
This Charity was set up by the Community Council to administer a donation made by the Penllyn Estate for land known as the "Winchfield Park" at Graig Penllyn. The land is currently leased to local resident groups at nominal rents for recreational purposes.

The purpose of the Charity is: "To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Graig Penllyn and Penllyn and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who need such facilities by reason of youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said individuals."
