Charities and Public Benefit Statement: the charitable purpose of the Keltek Trust is covered by classification ”f”, the advancement of arts, culture, heritage or science as detailed in the Charities Act 2006.

The objects of the charity are:

To further the religious and other charitable works of Christian churches throughout the world through the provision of church bells and encouragement of church bell ringing and in particular:

i) To promote the re-use of surplus or redundant bells.

ii) The giving of grants for the provision of bells or bell restoration.

The Trust assists with the relocation and re-use of bells from closed churches and second-hand bells. It has a restricted fund known as the Bell Rescue Fund whereby bells are acquired and put into storage until such time that they can be relocated. The Trust’s general fund is used to make donations to receiving organisations and to cover operating expenses.

The Trust is actively involved in research of the tonal analysis of bells to assist in locating compatible bells for augmentation schemes.

Achievements & Performance

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on new enquiries with 7 fewer than 2020. The detailed breakdown of the 67 new enquiries is:

14 enquiries to acquire a ring or chime of bells. 4 enquiries to sell a ring or chime of bells. 26 enquiries to acquire bells. 20 enquiries to sell individual bells. 3 miscellaneous enquiries.

Thirty-eight bells are in the process of being relocated bringing the total since activities started to 843. The intended destinations are:

Coseley, West Midlands, Christ Church: Two bells for a proposed light training ring. Darwin, NT, Australia, St Mary: The four tenors of the proposed ring of six. Filby, Norfolk, All Saints: Treble of the proposed augmentation to six. Hawkley, Hampshire , St Peter & St Paul: Replacement seventh bell. Hoxne, Suffolk, St Peter & St Paul: Replacement third bell of five. Katoomba, NSW, Australia, St Canice: The four tenors of the proposed ring of five. Kemberton, Shropshire, St Andrew: Replacement treble bell of four and treble of six. Newton Valence, Hampshire, St Mary: Replacement third bell of five and treble of six. Norton, Gloucestershire, St Mary: Replacement fourth bell. Palmerston, NT, Australia, Our Lady Help of Christians: Four tenors of the proposed ring of six. Rochdale, Gtr.

We acquired 17 bells using our Bell Rescue Fund: A ring of eight bells from Bangor, N. Wales; Abbots Ripton (single bell); Taylor’s stock (4 bells); Twyford, Hampshire (2 bells) and two bells in private ownership. We financed the removal of, but do not own the ring of six from the closed church of St Botolph, Lincoln.

The total number of bells acquired/secured using the fund increased to 519. We currently own 104 bells of which 76 are on offer and 28 are in stock awaiting potential homes.

The number of completed bell installation/restoration projects is below our expectations mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic delaying work on several projects. Ten projects where the Trust assisted in locating bells have been completed. This includes 20 bells hung for full-circle ringing and 3 bells hung for chiming:

Alnwick, Northumberland, St Michael: Back six of the ring of ten . Broadwell, Oxfordshire, St Peter & St Paul: Second and third of the ring of eight . Calstock, Cornwall, St Andrew: A bell for chiming. Dordrecht, The Netherlands, Grote Kerk: Four tenors of the ring of ten bells. Hawton, Nottinghamshire, All Saints: Second of the augmentation to ten. Kemberton, Shropshire, St Andrew: A replacement bell and a treble of the augmentation to six.

Financial review

The Trust spent £17,133 on acquiring bells with a further £6,242 spent on removal, transport, bell-work and storage. Payments of £5,775 have been received for bells sold during the year.

Our operational costs increased from £751 to £2,414 this year. The increase is mainly due more site visits taking place than the previous year and the replacement of our desktop PC following a hardware failure. An anonymous donor has covered the entire operational costs.

Our investment income decreased from £3,542 to £1,910. Income from legacies increased from £2,661 to £10,000 but general donations decreased from £13,623 to £7,631.

We paid grants totalling £18,568 to: Cambridge, St Clement; Lincoln, St Peter; Rochdale, St Chad and South Wraxall, Wiltshire. We have offered to donate bells valued at £46,064 to Coseley, West Midlands; Darwin, Australia; Filby, Norfolk; Hawkley, Hampshire; Hoxne, Suffolk; Katoomba, Australia; Kemberton, Shropshire; Lincoln, St Peter; Newton Valence, Hampshire; Norton, Gloucestershire; Palmerston, Australia; Roehampton, Gtr. London; Slapton, Buckinghamshire; Weeton, North Yorkshire and Westhorpe, Suffolk. The total grants & donations for the year is £64,632.

Outstanding grants and donations total £200,880 which includes bells to the value of £106,885; grants of £29,624 to projects where our offers have been accepted but the work has yet to be completed and bells & grants totalling £64,371 that have been offered but not formally accepted by the respective parishes.

Interest-free loans made by the Keltek Trust increased from £63,216 to £70,716 following a loan of £7,500 to Slapton, Buckinghamshire. The loans appear as an asset in our accounts as we expect all to be re-paid.

At the Year-end our restricted Bell Rescue Fund had assets worth £164,197 including bells to the value of £106,885 that the Trust is donating to projects but awaiting installation. A sum of £59,708 has been included in our liabilities for outstanding work on bells or acquisition of bells with a further £1,033 allocated for potential storage charges.

The level of reserves is set by the trustees and may be changed at any time depending on circumstances. The current policy is to cover the expected operational expenses for the next 12 months plus an additional 100% contingency for unexpected costs; the reserves also allow for potential donations of 50% of bells held in stock by the restricted Bell Rescue Fund. Our financial history shows that we have donated 44% of the bells acquired by our Bell Rescue Fund.

In summary we have had another successful year and look forward to 2022 where we expect many more projects to be completed.
