Testimonials

It is really fantastic to be supported by my local community in this way and it is my intention and hope that at some point in the future, I will be able to ‘pay this forward’. I would also like to say that if any Trust members would like to see a working forge in action, then the forge door is always open.

I am writing this short letter to say thank you for your approval of my application, and the subsequent grant you provided me with. Not having to worry about my accommodation payments has really helped me over these last couple of weeks and given me some more peace of mind. I have settled in really comfortably now and I am thoroughly enjoying my course.

On behalf of the Charlwood Community Volunteers, I should be grateful if you would pass on sincere thanks to the JBTMT committee for their generous grant of £4,000.
Hopefully the outdoor gym will be enjoyed by villagers of all ages for many years to come so thank you once again to JBTMT for their part in its provision.

The air conditioning has been installed at the Hookwood Memorial Hall and is proving to be very well received by all user groups. Without the help of JB&TMT this project would have taken a very long time to become a reality.
James O’Neill, Chairman, Hookwood Memorial Hall

With Christmas and the New Year fast approaching, I wanted to thank you and all the Trustees for standing beside St Catherine’s through this most challenging year.  
Without you, we wouldn’t be able to continue caring for the most vulnerable people in our community.

Please convey my thanks and the thanks of the Charlwood community for the grant to purchase new goal posts for the Charlwood Recreation Ground.
The grant will not only benefit the three football clubs based in the village but also the many residents and their children who like to have a casual  'kick around' when visiting the Recreation Ground.
Colin Gates (Secretary Charlwood Village Football  Club)

I am writing, on behalf of the Trustees of Hookwood Memorial Hall, to thank the JB&TM Trust for their grant towards the installation of air conditioning at the hall, it will add so much to the hall both in the Winter and Summer.
