Wake/ Worlock Trust;

In 1994 Mrs F M T Worlock, nee Wake of the Wakedean Furniture Factory, bequeathed to the YV Lions Club 3 properties divided into 6 flats with a wish that they should be used to house local elderly people. These properties are held in the Wake/Worlock Trust and after maintaining and improving the properties any surplus funds are used to enhance the quality of life for elderly residents in the area. In addition a large contribution was made to the rebuilding of the Library and the meeting room in the Library is known as the Wake/Worlock Room.

The flats are all occupied currently but if anyone is interested in being considered for a tenancy in the future they may contact Geoff Bland on 01934 832118
