Ellingham Community Trust

We know it’s difficult at the moment. Ellingham Community Trust is developing a range of activities to support members of the parish. We are aware that the national guidance is constantly changing and the Trust will alter this as necessary.

Did you apply for solid fuel in the 2019 scheme? If so, you can buy some extra heat logs.

Ellingham Community Trust has a small number of spare heat log pallets this year. If you would like to purchase half a pallet of heat logs at £100 (cost price to Ellingham Community Trust) please email before 16th Feb.

If Ellingham Community Trust receives more requests than half pallets available, names will be drawn from a hat.

 

Are you planning something new for the winter? A new career? A extra qualification? Another string to your bow?

If so, don’t forget that Ellingham Community Trust has a Personal Development Scheme to help you achieve your goals.

Elllingham Community Trust’s Personal Development Scheme is open to all parishioners. It offers up to £400 to support study, for full time education or a training course at a higher or further education establishment. Costs to attend such courses, equipment required for the course, and uniform not provided by employers can also be applied for. For further information and an application form click here.

The hard wood logs will arrive at the end of the month. As with the heat logs, the hard wood pallets will arrive with local farmers who kindly volunteer their time to distribute to all those who have applied for hard wood logs.

Any queries should be emailed to ellinghamcommunitytrust@gmail.com.

Heat logs have been delivered to local farmers who are arranging distribution this week to all those who have applied for heat logs. Hardwood logs will be delivered later.

Any queries should be emailed to ellinghamcommunitytrust@gmail.com.

The AGM of Ellingham Community Trust will be held on 10th October at 7pm.

Ellingham Community Trust is looking for additional Trustees. If you would like to apply please email or write to the Clerk at ellinghamcommunitytrust@gmail.com detailing why you would like to apply and what you can bring to the Trust. Applications for new Trustees will be discussed at the AGM.

The 2019 solid fuel scheme has been launched. To make an application, complete the form either on paper, or digitally and return to ellinghamcommunitytrust@gmail.com or George Unwin, 2, Farm Cottages, Chathill, NE67 5DE.

Click here for the Solid Fuel Scheme page and copy of the application form for the 2019 scheme.

The first load of heat logs has arrived. Further loads will arrive in the next couple of days.  This year’s heat logs are a different brand. Click here for the leaflet which comes with these heat logs.

I’m sure you will be delighted to hear that a new supply of heat logs has been secured and should be with us in the next couple of weeks.

Any requests for other fuel sources or money made in the last couple of days will be disregarded.

Ellingham Community Trust apologise for the inconvenience caused.

 

Happy New Year.

We apologise but we have been let down by a local supplier of heat logs over the Christmas period who cannot now supply us. Supplies around the country are extremely tight and it is proving difficult to get hold of the quantity that we need in bulk and at an affordable price although it is possible to buy small quantities from local heat suppliers or the internet

We are hoping to be able to get some within the next few weeks but if you would rather have a pallet of hardwood logs or the cash payment, please for let us know and we can arrange this.

We can’t promise at this stage that we shall be able to even get Heat Logs this winter.
