Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2022
Structure, governance and management
The charity was registered as a charitable trust on 27th August 1992.
New trustees are appointed as necessary by the existing board during the year and given a full briefing on the charity as part of their induction.
Objectives and activities
The Chilton Village Church Fund raises money from donations in an attempt to develop a long-term maintenance endowment fund specifically tailored to repair and maintain the structure and fabric of St Mary’s Church in Buckinghamshire. St Mary’s is a grade one listed building
In planning the activities for the year, the trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and performance
After Covid we were fortunate to be left £35,000 to help, the largest grant to date. This enabled us to repair the organ. We did this in partnership with Bruern Abbey Senior School who use the Church for worship and school gatherings.
Financial review
At the year end, cash at bank totalled £52,833 of which £52,833 was for general unrestricted funds.
The trustees are satisfied that this level of free reserves is appropriate for the charity as at 31st December 2022.
