LOCAL INFORMATION

Seend Fund - The Seend Fund is a local charity formed when land belonging to two former charities was sold. In keeping with the original aims the trustees use the interest from this sale for relieving financial hardship among those living in or closely connected with the Parish of Seend and also for providing some help towards the cost of maintaining the fabric of Seend Church. Any requests for help from those who qualify are considered and these can include help with education and training costs that is not provided for by other grants or loans.
For more information about the fund please contact Anita Shea the secretary of the trustees by writing to her at 34 Seend Cleeve, Melksham SN12 6PY or emailing anitashea@hotmail.co.uk.
