To secure a future for the Walronds so that it continues to be a house and garden that is available for the community to use.
The Walronds is currently struggling financially as it relies on income from a residential flat to pay the bills. The flat has been vacant since July 2025 and, to-date, we have been unable to find a new tenant. The rental income is critical as the income from fund raising and room hire alone doesn’t generate sufficient money to cover the running costs of the house and garden.
The house and garden is a registered charity run by a team of dedicated volunteers with no paid staff. It receives no public money. The insurance is over £10k per year and, as the property is Grade 1 Listed and in a Conservation Area, the costs of running it and keeping it in good repair are very high.
The Trustees would like to find ways of ensuring that the property continues to be the well used and loved community hub that it currently is. We need to raise much needed funding but we realise that we also need to look to the future and ensure that we don’t find ourselves in this situation again. Any help that you can give will be very much appreciated.
