Report of the Trustees
For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
STRucfuRE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust dated 7th October 1949, as
amended 16 March 1989, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recrultment and appolntment of new trustees
The ex officio Trustee is the Dean of Derby
The elected trustees are appointed annually by the chapter of the Cathedral Church at its statutory
meeting. The representatives of the congregation of St Mary's Bridge Chapel are reviewed annually
at the meeting of the members of the congregation.
The other representatlve trustees are appointed for a term of four years at a meeting convened and
held according to the ordinary practice of thelr appointlng body. The person appointed may be, but
need not be, a member of the appointing body.
Inductlon and training of new trustees
The aim of the charity IS to maintain the chapel in good order so that it continues to be suitable for
public worship. Consequently, it is not considered necessary to have any formal training of new
trustees. Each new trustee is given an information pack that includes a copy of the charity scheme,
with amendment, a copy of the declaration of trust and a copy of the latest set of minutes. In
addition, trustees receive, from time to time, copies of relevant communications from the Charitv
Commission.
Trustees, policy
The policy of the trustees is to invest in Charitable Funds which will provide a mix of assured regula r
income and the ability to accumulate funds in the long term by reinvestment of dividends. In
addition, as much as possible of the money needed in the short term is placed In a Charitable Fund
which offers advantageous rates of interest.
Related parties
The representation from the Cathedral is defined in the Charity scheme. Although the Cathedral
Chapter has no interest in the property, the Anglican services in the chapel are the responsibility of
the Dean of Derby. The trustees are not concerned with these services.
The Will, which is the founding document of the St Mary's Charity, of the late Canon Miller states
that the trustees of the St Marfs Charity shall be selerted from the trustees of the Chapel of St Mary
on the Bridge.
The only related party is the St Mary's Charity for the reasons stated above. The two charities
operate independently of each other and there have never been any transactions between them.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identlfy and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to
ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

OBJEcfivES AND AcfiviTIES
Objettives and aims
The objective of the charity is to maintain the land and buildings of the charity and to facilitate the
use of the Chapel forthe purpose of prayer.
The main activttie5 remain the letting of the Chapel and adjoining House forvarious activitie5. The
rent from the House tenants (see below) and hire charges for the use of the Chapel provide a source
of income to coverthe c05t of maintenance, so allowing the continued opening of the Chapel to the
public forthe purpose of Christian prayer. The Chapel is now open again to members of the public
on most Saturday5 through the summer months and this provides a small but additional income.
Significant actlvlties
The major activlty in Isummerl 2024 was the complete restoratlon of the windows in Bridge Chapel
House.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Regularsaturday morning services are held in the Chapel under the auspice5 of the Cathedral.
Similarly. a monthly Franciscan service is also held along with other occasional services through the
year. Sunday morning Anglican services have not been held since the pandemic but a Taizé Style
service is held on the first Sunday evening of each month. The Latvian Lutheran church continues to
hold one service per month in the Chapel and the Russian Orthodox Church two per month.
After the departure of the previous tenants of Bridge Chapel House Ithe Derbyshire Famlty Hlstory
Society) in May 2022, the prop.erty was unoccupied (apart from use by Chapel congregations) until
May 2024. From that date, the House was leased to Feel Alive, a Community Interest Company who
specialise in providing activities of various sorts for mentally challenged adults. The House continues
to be available to Chapel congregations as before.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
ReseNes Policy
The Charity's princlpal reserves are held in CCLA investment funds. The trustees are confident that
the charity has adequate free reseNes to provide fInancial stability for its activities in accordance
with Its aims. This is entirely due to the generousfurther bequest form the Estate of the late Miss A I
M Harpur-crewe in early 2020.
Flnanclal review

satisfIed that public benefit has been provlded In the year in accordance with the Charities Act 2011
and the guidance published by the Charity Commission.
