The Friends of Wiston Church
Charity Reg Number 1158565
Chairman’s Report, 7th June, 2025
The Charity plans to continue to work closely with the PCC to identify appropriate works and to raise funds for agreed maintenance and repairs for St Mary's Church.
Our financial standing is satisfactory (subscriptions and donations carried over from 2023/24) plus personal donations.
The trustees expect the PCC to submit their invoices for any agreed maintenance and repair works in the near future and will positively consider providing funds, as and when requested to do so.
We have no plans to hold new fundraising events as the Trustees, Treasurer and Chair will be standing down on or by 31st December, 2025.
We are publishing notices in the Nayland and Wissington Community Times (July or August issue) and placing a printed poster in the church porch to try and find new volunteers.
Overall, our finances remain in a healthy state, as set out in the annual accounts.
Simon J Empson,
Chair, Friends of Wiston Church, St Mary the Virgin.
