TULK TRUST FOR SCHOOL SPORTS FACILITIES pdf icon PDF 326 KB

    • Share this item

    To decide on the use of the accumulated income from the Tulk Trust which is a

    registered charity for which Cabinet is the trustee..

     

    The Tulk Trust for School Sports Facilities (registered charity 312006)  was set up in 1952, with a bequest of £10,000 from the will of Mr. J.A. Tulk to provide playing fields for secondary schools in Surrey. The sole trustee of this Trust is Surrey County Council.

     

    As of 20 September 2016 the object of the charity is ‘to provide recreational facilities and advance education by providing or assisting in the provision or improvement of outdoor sports facilities (not including equipment) for maintained secondary schools and secondary academies in Surrey’.

     

    £157,000 of the Tulk Trust has already been committed to Winston Churchill School for sports facilities. Approximately £180,000 of the Trust remains unallocated.

     

    Bids were invited from secondary schools (through the Schools Bulletin) for grants from the Trust. 20 bids were received from a wide range of secondary schools. The value of the bids amounts to £673,778.  A list of the bids is attached as Appendix A. 

     

    All bids would meet the objectives of the charity and the bids were evaluated by young people, attending Surrey County Council as part of its ‘Takeover Day’.
