# **Kimpton May Festival Trust Annual Report Year ended: 30 November 2024 Charity no: 1161032** 

## Trustees 

B.Kazwini, Chairperson (appointed 24/03/15) J.Clayton, Treasurer (appointed 24/03/15) E.Rice-Oxley (appointed 24/03/15) M.Hyde (appointed 24/03/15) D.Bigg, (appointed 12/09/19) 

## Objectives 

To provide grants and donations for such charitable purposes for the public benefit in Kimpton and the surrounding area as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine. 



## Financial Summary 

2024 Kimpton May Festival was another successful festival, the total raised was just over £32,500. 

The Kimpton Art Show was again the largest fund-raising event and donated £4,000 to festival funds. The auction raised over £2,400, grand draw, fun run & vicarage creams each raised over £1,100. 

Local organisations who run stalls can keep half their profits, donating the other half to the festival funds. This 50% retention amounted to just over £7,400, and after expenditure this left the Kimpton May Festival Trust with £12,000 to distribute. Kimpton Parish Church Restoration fund received £4,000 to go towards the cost of repairing & maintaining our beautiful 13th century church. £2,000 was given to Kimpton Primary School, £1,500 to Kimpton players. We were also able to support Garden House Hospice, Herts Air Ambulance, Isabel Hospice, Keech Cottage Hospice, Codicote Foodbank, Kimpton Brownies, Kimpton Guides, Kimpton Scouts, Kimpton Parish Magazine, Willow Foundation and the RNLI. 

Local clubs, charities and organisations seeking financial support from the Kimpton May Festival Trust should contact the trust with details of their request.  The committee also manages a welfare fund which can be accessed by anyone residing in the parish with a special hardship need. Applications for the welfare fund are handled in strict confidence.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
responsibilities of trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the
trustees and examiner Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act,
and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the
examiner's statement Charity Commission. 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair,
view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than
statement that disclosed below.)

requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;

the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met. or
