In some areas across Devon bellringing teams are short of number5 to ring for Christian worship or
lack the necessary skills and experience to be able to improve their performance on occasions
when they ring. The Guild arranges, advertises and hosts strurtured events to provide
opportunities for members to meet for practice and the building of social networks.

share news and best practice about bellringing in Devon and to promote community connections
between all bellringers.

Financial Review:
Statement on the Charity's Policy on Reserves
The Guild of Devonshire Ringers maintains a number of reserves-.
General Fund
The General Fund balance is invested to produce income which together with subscriptions and
tower affiliations from members and peal fees provides sufficient funds to support the work of the
Guild. The balance also facilitates cash flow and enables the development of new projects and
initiatives. The trustees have considered that a minimum amount should be held in reserves in the
General Fund" which should be suffitient to tover the overhead costs of winding up the
organisation, the backlog of peal recording costs and a sum for innovative future projects. This
amount also provides adequate cash flow and a reasonable contingency for unforeseen financial
risks. The fund is unrestricted.
Other Various Unrestricted Funds
Other unrestricted funds may be disclosed in the Guild 3¢¢ounts from time to time to reflect items
whereby separate disclosu￿ aids tranSpa￿AC¥ for the ￿ader. These funds include the Denmish
Fund, Instruction and Education Fund, Library Fund and Young Ringers Fund. For the 150th
Anniversary of The Guild of Devonshire Ringers the following funds were designated to be shown
separately: 2024Ringing World Calendar. Anniversary Dinner. 150th Anniversary Book. The trustees
monitor the level of these funds and transfer monie5 back to the General Fund or Bell Restoration
Fund if these funds are not being utilised for the inten(led purpose.
Subscriptions Received In Advance Fund
The balance on the subscription fund comprise5 the subscriptions collected for the following
linancial year. Subscriptions are collected through the membership system. Any subscriptions
received after 30 September relate to the following calendar year. This fund is unrestricted.
Branch Funds
Branch funds represent the accumulation of funds held by the seven branches of the Guild. Each
vear a percentage of the subscriptions are passed to the branches to fund activities within their
geographical area. In addition, the branches may receive additional donations from members to
fund activities. Each branch has a committee elected by its membership. which decides how the
funds are used within the rules of the charity. and on the level of funds to maintain. These funds
are unrestricted.
Bell Restoration Fund
The Bell Restoration Fund is a restricted fund which receive5 donations from members, branche5
and other fund-raising events along with the gift aid claimed by the Guild. In addition, it receives
an annual transfer from the General Fund, as agreed at the AGM. All funds are then paid to the
Devon Church Bell Restoration Fund (Registered Charity 2764901. The trustees of the Devon Church
Bell Restoratr"on Fund pay grants out of annual income to fund maintenance and improvements to
bell installations in Devon.
Format of the Accounts
The Trustees have decided to report the Guild accounts on a Receipts and Payments basis. The
level of disclosure is far smaller than following the Charities SORP. Thi5 decision has been made to
keep things as straightforward as possible for the Treasurer and Independent Examiner and for
those who hold those roles in the future.
To account on a receipts and payments basis, the accounts should show the movement between
opening and closing bank and cash balances. They should also show a statement of assets and
liabilities. In this transitional year we have used the balance sheet position as reported at 2023 las
thi5 wa5 not significantly different from the total cash and bank balances), and adjusted opening
balances and comparatives to include Branch figures.
*The balance on the General fund at 31 December per the accounts less transfers agreed ai the AGM in the followingjune.

Annual Report forthe year 2024 5
Financial Review of the Year
The General Fund has generated a surplus of £3.947.77. This includes net income from badges.
clothing and photographs of £614.05 and interest of £281.32. There were 571 paying members in
2024. The tollethon of subscriptions and membership records are maintsined with Membermojo.
Membermojo costs for 2024 totsl £398.61. However, it should be noted that approx. £123 of this
cost relates to transaction costs concerning merchandise sales.
All subscriptions received in advance for 2025 are held in a separate fund Ithe opening balance
having been transferred to the General Fund and Branch Funds at the start of the yearl.
There was very little movement on the Denmish Fund and Instruction and Education Fund.
The Young Ringers Fund intludes a donation from Devon Association of £500 and pa￿ntaI
contributions associated with the RWNYC costs. We have increased the donation paid to Pinhoe
Church for the monthly practice.
The Anniversary Dinner was a special evening. We tried to keep ticket prices as low as possible,
and the Guild budgeted to pay for the honorary guests. The Guild contributed £100.70 to costs
which was lower than our budget. The auction and raffle raised £1.120. which were transferred to
the Bell Restoration Fund.
The 2024 Ringing World Calendar netted profits of £1.065.23 recognised in 2023, which we
transferred to the Bell Restoration Fund this year.
A small stock of the arbniversary book remains. but the sales covered its costs, producing net
income of £256.42. These funds will be transferred to the Bell Restoration Fund in the New Year.
The Bell Restoration Fund benefi.tted from anniversary activities and donations received a5 part
of the subscription process. The intome ￿(eIved as a result of the Guild festival declined, but
donations received from the subscription process were very healthy. The Guild can claim gift aid on
subscriptions and donations. Our policy is to transfer these funds to the Bell Restoration Fund.
Outstanding gift aid claims were made and received for 2022 and 2023, which resulted in £295.25
received above the £1.4LKI included in the 2022 and 2023 accounts. The remaining balance on the
Bell Restoration Fund of £980 was paid to DCBRF in early January.
The seven Branches of the Guil¢J hold funds which total £11,371.09. These funds have
accumulated over several years from subscriptions and donations to be used in the course of
running Branch activities and supporknng towers and training activities held for Branch members.
We anticipate these funds will reduce in the coming years with the purchase of simulator
equipment, training grants and donations to the Bell Restoratr"on Fund.
Excluding branch bank and cash a55et5. the Guild holds £16.956.09 cash a55ets. of which
£5,181.54 relate to subscriptions and donations in the 2025 collection process.

Devon Church Bell Restoration Fund (Charity Number 276490}
During 2024 ten projects have been completed for a total of £29,2(K). Inspections were completed at 12
different churches across the county and several applications forms were sent and received. We held our
USLJal two meetings during the year on 26th March and 18th ottober. An initiative that has been
revi51ted this year was to write to all the PCC'5 in the Exeter Diocese asking for donations to the fund.
This was achieved with the help of Neil Williams who is the Director of Finance for the Diocese and has
proved very fruitful having received over £3.300 from 87 different PCC'S.
The Tru5tee5 have paid due regard to the Charity Commi55ion'5 guidance on public benefit. The aim of
the Devon Church Bell Restoration Fund remains to provide financial assistance to churches in the
County of Devon and Diocese of Exeter for the purpose of ￿storIng. maintainin8 and improving their bell
inst311ations, 50 as to ensure their continuing use for religiou5 purpose5 and for the ongoing
development of the cultural art of English church bell ringing. Though bells are housed predominantly in
premises of the Church of England the practice of church bell ringing is open to all regardless of age,
creed or culture- and being a very public instrument may be heard by all.
