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.
At the time of going to press, we are being warned to stay indoors as much as possible and not mix with others. Infection rates in our area are extremely high and Wendover has many residents who are vulnerable.
Wendover Health Centre is communicating with registered patients via its messaging service concerning the COVID 19 Vaccine. Wendover News website and social media continue to publish updates from Buckinghamshire Council about all aspects of the pandemic, including newly introduced rules and government vaccination centres. The latest government information is always available at www.gov.uk/coronavirus. See also page 24 for news about vaccine scams.
The Trustees will hold their 43rd Annual meeting on Wednesday 28 April 2021 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. See also advert on page 11.
