Annual Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present their report, together with accounts of All Saints and St Mary’s Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s trust deed and applicable laws.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a trust constituted under a trust deed dated 4[th] April 1996. New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the charity are as follows:

1. The advancement of the Christian religion in the Parish of Crondall and Ewshot (“the Parish”);

2. The preservation and maintenance of the fabric and contents of the two churches in the Parish;

3. The maintenance and support of the ordained Clergy in the Parish;

   1. The provision of funds for charitable work within the Parish.

In order to fulfil the charity’s objectives, the charity provides financial support to the Parish, usually at the request of the Parochial Church Council. The trustees have unrestricted powers of investment over trust funds in order to carry out the charity’s objectives. They also have the option to delegate the power of investment to any person or body corporate as they see fit. In making decisions to carry out the charities aims and objectives, the trustees have not had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.

Achievements and Performance

Fund raising and donation activities generated £26,758. Notable donations and legacies of £10,000, 3 donations of £1000, In addition the Bellringers marmalade generated £944. On top of that the Croft Café donated £4000.

There were maintenance repairs to the church related to the lighting of £2652 and Architects fees of £3194 were paid to cover initial work on the West Wing of the Church.

The trustees were not able to carry out the normal fund-raising activity as the Covid-19 crisis has reduced severely the fundraising in 2021, fortunately compensated for with the various substantial bequests.

Financial Review

During the year, the charity’s income was £31668 including Gift Aid, VAT reclaim. Expenditure was £6135. The Charity made a reclaim for Gift Aid of £3,772. As at 31[st] December 2021 year end the charity held £106,353 in unrestricted funds.. Trustees do not have a formal policy in respect of reserves and consider that the current level is adequate, taking into account the charity’s need for future liquidity and the potential range of projects it may be asked to support.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of All Saints and St Mary’s Charity

Independent Examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
