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
