PUBLIC NOTICE UNDER SECTION 121(2) OF THE CHARITIES ACT 2011
What is planned?
Leonard Cheshire Disability (registered with charity number 218186)
acting as corporate trustee (Trustee) of St. Michael's Home (Trust), a charitable trust (registered with charity number 218186-4) gives
notice that the Trustee proposes to dispose by way of the sale of the
freehold and leasehold properties known as: St Michael's Cheshire Home,
Cheddar Road, Axbridge BS26 2DW (Property)
The Property was previously used as a care home and closed in 2023.
It is no longer suitable to meet the needs of the Trust's beneficiaries ,
namely disabled men and women. The age and spawling design of
the Property, which is a multi-level large Grade II listed Victorian building,
makes it unsuitable as a modern care facility and means that the cost of any material refurbishment to bring it back into use would be prohibitive for the Trust.
Even with refurbishment, the building would still not meet modern care home requirements; the isolated geographic location, with no access
to public transport nearby, will remain unsuitable for residents' independence.
The Property stands vacant, so no residents will be impacted by the
disposal of the Property.
Any member of the public wishing to make representations on the
proposed disposal to the Trustee is invited do so by 5pm on 31
OCTOBER 2025.
Representations must be made to Andrew Ball, Project Manager
By Post: Leonard Cheshire, Regus The News Building, 3rd Floor, 3 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG
