King's Sutton Heritage
Trust Fund......

Mission Statement:  To promote, protect and enhance the history, facilities, structures, and amenities of the village of King's Sutton  and the surrounding area for the benefit of its inhabitants by utilizing funds which are charitably donated on projects that are outside of the scope of normal rates and taxes.
We have a tremendous Heritage within the confines of our village......We all have a responsibility to future generations to encourage the maintenance of our History and the building
of our communities in the years ahead.
 Updates for all current projects for the King's Sutton Heritage Trust Fund


 Content will be changed at the request of groups and inhabitants, assuming that it is deemed suitable.


Project 1...The Website....Update 6 19/12/09

Our initial project was the formation of this website. Now, after some 46 months we have recently recorded our 25000th visitor.
 
All visitors are recorded by country, city, pages visited and time on the site. We enjoy the patronage of many from overseas showing that King's Sutton is well remembered by all who have been touched by its magic.  As we move forward in 2010 our hope is that more villagers will assist  with this project by sending information about their families, past events, historical issues and all current events concerning the village.  Where appropriate we will publish all of these to the site.

Project 3...The Reading Rooms Coronation Challenge Cup....update 19/12/09.

The cup was unearthed a few years ago, found by a village resident and handed to our committee. Following extensive advertising and research its true history has still not been resolved although we know it was  first presented in 1937.  However, pending further investigation it was decided that it should be offered to the King's Sutton Primary school.

On behalf of the Heritage Trust, the cup, now renamed the Heritage Cup was presented at the school Speech day this year and continues to be awarded for an outstanding piece of literary work chosen by the School. 


Information Update


Project 2...The History Archive.....Update...19/12/09  

Both the  'Times Past'  and the 'Memories' pages continue to be some of the most popular pages on the site and will continue to be expanded as time permits. The most recent addition is in memory of  the late of Olga Kevelos. The full  'History Archive' which will eventually expand to more than 15 pages currently has four  separate pages. The memories page is to be split to show more photo memories as well as written memories of past events within the village. 
 
Any information about past events, along with photos would be appreciated.
We would be really interested to hear from you with a view to adding this to the stock of available information.

Information forgotten is information lost to future generations........The history archive will endeavor to protect such information, memories and photos for our future heritage.   It is important...please get involved.


Project 4 .....King's Sutton Juniors
update....19/012/2009


The  new, under 11's Football Team was formed some months ago  in the village.  The  King's Sutton Juniors was supported by The Heritage Trust in  this venture with an initial donation to assist with a new strip.  We will be following the Team and would like to extend our support in future years. The team is currently performing very well.

Does Charity begin at Home?

It is difficult to quantify just how many people in King's Sutton are actively engaged in charitable activities. However it is certainly quite a sizeable number.  But there are also many who do not actively take part in any fundraising simply because they have not taken any one, ongoing, cause to heart. The Heritage Trust Fund is, in essence, inward looking, because it concerns King's Sutton and its residents.  However many of the proposed projects will have an on-going effect on a much wider audience beyond the confines of our village. 

Volunteers are needed who want to make a difference within our own community.  Of course we understand that those who are already engaged in other charities may not wish to participate but we are deliberately making our Charitable Objectives wide enough so that we will be able to tackle a  range of projects and would therefore welcome everyone to become involved.....

Your assistance would be appreciated in any way that you are able to contribute. ( This may simply be the introduction of a project that is close to your heart,  but which you may not have the expertise to progress.......We may be able to assist! )
