“The Trust owns three properties and an area of woodland near Box Hill. A building in Sydney Road, Guildford which is leased (insurance and repairing) at a peppercorn (insurance) rent to the following organisations. Shooting Star Chase Hospice Care for children (Registered Charity No 1042495) is the main tenant where they provide accommodation for nurses and key workers working at their St Christopher's Hospice for life-limited children. Part of the ground floor is sublet to The Jigsaw Trust (Registered Charity No 1075464) who provide education and care for children with autistic spectrum disorders. The lease on this property is up for renewal and discussions with both tenants are underway. The second property is in Cleeve Road Leatherhead (formerly the St Faith’s Family Centre used by Surrey County Council who quit the building in March 2023) and is leased to N Family Club who operate a children’s nursery on the site. The lease is for 25 years, and N Family Club now pay a full commercial rent. The third property purchased in 2023 is a former Doctor’s surgery, at 42a Prices Lane, Reigate. It was acquired to be used by PSDS a charity (Registered Charity No 1123079) the Trust has supported for many years and who were seeking a permanent base in this area. PSDS took up occupation on 1st December 2023. A 25-year lease has been agreed with the rent rising to 40% of the market rate over five years. In due course the ‘ownership’ of 42a Prices Lane will be transferred to the Official Custodian of the Charity Commission.” — page 7
