C.C.C.T. REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (Registered Charity No. 1058187) Objectives and Aims The objects of the Charity are to promote, through the provision of financial assistance, any charitable purpose for improving the educational, leisure, recreational and supportive facilities for the public benefit of the inhabitants of Chipping Campden and the surrounding Campden Vale area, with special regard to the needs of the young, the elderly, the disadvantaged and the disabled. Activities The Charity provides financial assistance principally by way of awarding grants by decision of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee actively seeks and considers grant applications made to the Charity. Honorary Chairman's Report The Trust has had another productive year and the Trustees continue to meet regularly to discuss the Trust business and consider grant applications. The Trust continues to grant aid Campden and Cotswold Edge Advisory Service, operated by Louise Kington, which is a free confidential service for older people living within the area. Louise submits regular analysis of her work within the community to our Trust meetings. We have continued to support Cotswold Friends primarily for the vital transport service, which enables clients to attend hospital appointments and other important engagements. We are also giving a regular grant to Cotswold Edge, a youth charity providing financial support to enable students to have the opportunity to play a musical instrument and take part in other musical activities. We gave another grant to the local First Responders towards a second fully equipped car to operate locally, this should be in operation shortly. We were also delighted to support a theatre group for teenagers which took place at the Cider Mill Theatre during the summer break. We have also committed to funding a Pass Plus Course for students who have recently passed their driving test, to help improve their driving skills. We have awarded smaller individual grants, which have helped improve the quality of life of the applicants. The Trustees are mindful of meeting the main objects of the Charity, to help the disadvantaged, the disabled, the elderly and the young. The Trust is very grateful for the many legacies and donations that we have received which has enabled the Trust to be in a financially secure position, but we are always looking to the future and welcome the planning of future legacies and donations.
C.C.C.T. REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31- DECEMBER 2024 (Registered Charity No. 1058187) Financial Review The Charity maintains two different types of fund, being an unrestricted fund and 2 restricted funds, details of which are contained in note 2 to the financial statements. A list of all the grants made by the Charity during the financial year is set out in note 3 to the financial statements. Monies in the restricted funds may be applied only in accordance with the restrictions set out in note 2 to the financial statements whereas monies in the unrestricted fund may be applied to any cause satisfying the Charity's objects. All monies received by the Charity, including the membership donations, which are not subject to any restrictions on their application are credited to the unrestricted fund. The Charity actively seeks donations, grants and other means of funding its activities. Prior to funding any grants, monies received by the Charity are either held as cash at bank or invested in various investment funds (the COIF Charities Investment Fund, the COIF Charities Property Fund and the COIF Global Equity Income Fund) managed by CCLA Fund Managers Limited. It is the policy of the Executive Committee that, other than in exceptional circumstances, the capital portion of the restricted funds shall not be applied in funding any grants and that rather such grants shall be funded entirely from the income generated by such funds. Non- restricted grants may be funded by either or both the capital portion of the unrestricted funds or any income generated by such funds. The members of the Executive Committee have had due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. Treasurer's Report This year has again seen a strong financial performance from the Trust, with fund balances at the end of the year of £2,246,497 (against the figure at the end of 2023 of £2,157,446). This is partly due to excellent investment performance giving unrealised profits in the year of£55,166. Income It came to our attention in 2023 that the investment income received in February each year relates, in fact, to the final quarter of the previous year (October to December). In previous years we accounted for investment income when received. To comply with our stated accounting policy, we started accruing this income in the year to which it relates. The effect of this is that for 2023 only, there were five quarters of investment income included in the accounts. Investment Income was £64,915 for 2024 compared to £75,716 for the five quarters in 2023.
ST C.C.C.T. REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (Registered Charity No. 1058187) Expenditure The decrease in the total expenditure in the year, excluding that of grant payments, from £6,393 in 2023 to £3,735 in 2024 reflects an decrease in advertising and marketing costs having set up our website in 2023. Grants During the year, the Charity made grants totaling £29,128 (2023 £19,861) of which £18,978 were made from restricted funds to aid the elderly in our community, and a total of £10,150 was made from unrestricted funds to aid the community more widely. General The Charity continues to look to the future with confidence. Its asset base remains strong and it is still positioned to continue the work envisaged by those who originally provided the bequests leading to the creation of the Charity. Risk Management The Executive Committee's policy is to limit the sum the Charity has on deposit with its bankers to the maximum sum protected under the UK Government's Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The three COIF investment funds in which the Charity is invested are specifically designed to suit charities and are only open for investment by charities. CCLA Fund Managers Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCLA Investment Management Limited which is the third largest charity fund manager in the UK and has been in business for more than 60 years. Our Treasurer regularly monitors the results of the Charity's investments in the COIF investment funds. Reserves Policy The Trustees, aim is to maintain free readily accessible cash reserves in the sum of not less than £25,000 in each of the restricted and unrestricted funds as it is considered that this will enable the Charity to respond expeditiously to grant applications as they are made from time to time On behalf of the Trustees: Sally Lindner Hon. Chairman 2025
ST C.C.C.T. REPORT AIND ACCOUNTS FOR Th'E YEAR EWDCD 31 DEC£iMBEp 2024 (Regi<tered Charity No. 10581871 Independent Examirier's Report to the Trustees of the Chipping Campden Community Trust for the Year ended 31 December 2024 I report on the accounts of the Charity which are set out on pages 9- 14. Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The Trustees are respon.sible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144(2) of the Charity's Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2001 Act and follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and state whether any particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's report carried out my examination in accordarice with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.. 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: proper accounting records are kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act., or to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper undystanding of th accounts to be reached. .2025 aniel Ja esco well FCCA CTA ATT iel Colwell & Co, Chartered Certified Accountants The Old Bull Pens.
