## **Objectives and Activities**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|For the benefit of the public to maintain,
repair, restore, preserve, improve and
enhance the fabric of the church of St
Wystan, Repton, its monuments, fixtures,
fittings, furniture, stained glass, ornaments
and other chattels and its churchyard.|
|Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|2022 was a successful year for FRPC. 3
fundraising events were organized. The first
in May was a concert by Silver Sax, a Derby
based saxophone band which had people
foot tapping in the pews. The second in
August was a barbecue hosted by the Gould
family at Cokhay Farm when we were lucky
with the weather and enjoyed a social
afternoon with excellent food in a lovely
setting. Our first annual lecture in October
was given by Professor Martin Biddle to a
full church reminding us of the historical
significance of the crypt and updating us on
his current thinking about its dating followed
by more detailed discussions down in the
crypt itself. All of these were well attended
and enjoyed by all those who came resulting
in an addition to funds of £2,600.
3 different information sheets have been
produced to help visitors appreciate the
history and features of the church depending
on their interests and 2 newsletter were sent
out keeping Friends informed.
Work is progressing on the production of a
new guide book. It is intended that this will
be self financing, sales covering initial outlay
in time. Introducing people to the
significance of the church and churchyard,
and promoting understanding of its history
will raise its profile and further the objects of
the charity through additional financial
support.|
