It consists of: 74 self- catering cottages, accommodating up to 170 residents. Bed- sits, accommodating up to 60 people, all meals provided and apartments serviced.
The Trust has three Trustees and a Management Committee that ensures that it operates efficiently, within set budgets and according to the Trust’s Constitution. It is situated on 46 acres in a country environment.
The Borradaile Trust is non-sectarian, non-racial, and non-denominational, founded on Anglican tradition, and run on Christian principles. Set in 46 Hectares of pristine Msasa woodland, the Trust is beautifully appointed. Cottages boast manicured and maintained gardens, attracting a diversity of bird life. Communal areas are done out in bright and refreshing colours, invigorating the senses. The property is fenced and entry is through a manned security gate.
The Trust is registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare as a Welfare Institution, registration no W/O 236/68, and thus attracts a tax deduction for donations made to it.
We are now also registered in the U.K. under the auspices of “The Thomas Benyon Settlement Trust” – Charity No. 271133.
We employ a total of 60 people in many various administration, nursing, maintenance, security, housekeeping and catering roles. The Trust has a Management Committee of volunteers from the community who give much valuable time and effort to ensure the Trust is run properly and smoothly.
With help from kind donors, we have managed to renew some of the water reticulation, and part of the electrical distribution but there still remains a tremendous amount of other plumbing and electrical renovation to be carried out.
We have been blessed, and indeed are still being blessed by well-wishers, who very kindly donate on a regular basis without which we would have had to close long ago. We have had to draw heavily on reserves, which are now getting to a dangerously low level. Our local farming community who so generously supported us in the past is now virtually non-existent, so we find we have to rely on outside support to a much greater degree than before.
