The Trustees as at the beginning of the year are shown in the third column of the chart above. The trustees continue to function without a Chair. As 3 of the Trustees reached their maximum term of office during 2025, the recruitment of new Trustees continued, and the Friends are pleased to welcome 3 new Trustees, Fenella Atkinson, Tim Cowin and Kevin Giles. The Trustees are grateful for the support that Tony Bird gave as Treasurer during 2025 following Tracy Eggleston stepping down. The Trustees would like to express many thanks to Tracy for her support as Treasurer over many years, also to Simon Hartley and Ann Hartley for their involvement since the creation of the charity, their hard work has been much appreciated.
The following organisations may propose a candidate to represent them as a trustee:
- The Parochial Church Council of the church of Saint Hubert Idsworth
- The Rowlands Castle Association of Rowlands Castle, Hampshire
- The Board of Governors of Winchester College of Winchester, Hampshire
The Trustees adhere to the Charity Governance Code which promotes good governance, enables and supports compliance with relevant legislation and regulation; promotes attitudes and culture where everything works towards fulfilling the Trusts vision. The Trustees are ever mindful of the issues posed by governance, risk assessment and safeguarding. Such challenges are kept under review.
## **Objectives**
The objects of the Friends of the Church of St Hubert’s Idsworth Trust are:
- For the benefit of the public to help maintain, repair, restore, preserve, improve and enhance the fabric of the church of St Hubert Idsworth, as a place of Christian worship for the local area, and a venue of choice for sacred and secular events for the benefit of the widest possible community.
- To advance education of the public in the heritage of the church and the local area by providing information on its history and architecture.
## **Achievements & Performance**
A Trustee of the Friends of St Huberts, Dawn Bishop, sets out below the achievements of the past year to 31 March 2026.
## Charity Finances
In addition to the unrestricted funds held by the Friends in a Lloyds account, some funds were invested by Brewin Dolphin (£219,000) in the Autumn of 2022. There are plans in early 2026 to change the investments to Cazanove Capital. During 2025 a CCLA savings account was set up to maximise funds whilst also enabling flexible access.
## Support to the Parochiial Parish Council
In 2025 The Friends continued to provide financial support for the building works programme directed by John Bannell. Grants totalling £13,772.91 were provided to the PCC to support with building and restoration work to conclude Phase 1B of the building work., re-ordering work within the church and also for a digital interpretation project. The Friends involvement was to provide match funding (matching grants received by the PCC) and advancing funds for VAT, prepayments for contractors and professionals to help the PCC cash flow.
## Events
Several events hosted jointly by the Friends and the PCC took place during the year. In April, Los Ladrones performed music from Sir Arthur Sullivan at Madrigal Matinee at the Zoo! The concert was enjoyed by the audience and raised vital funds to maintain the church. The AGM followed in May, together with a talk by Tim Cowin about the history of St Hubert’s Church. The congregation and friends heard about the financial aspects and activities of the charity. Volunteers from the Hampshire
Astonomical Group kindly visited the church in June and talked about the Midsummer Sun. Visitors were offered a chance to enjoy a number of interesting activities relating to the sun including solar talks, safely view the sun with a telescope, and seeing a range meteorites on display. The next event was in July and saw Empty Frets, a folk and blues band entertain the visitors at the popular annual Musical Picnic. This is always a fun event with a great community atmosphere. The 2025 events culminated in the Mistletoe and Wine event in December which had a festive atmosphere and got visitors in the Christmas spirit. Musicians performed and then visitors had a chance to sing their favourite carols whilst enjoying some mulled wine and food. The events during 2025 raised £1,490 and the Friends and PCC are grateful to everyone who supported these events. They raise awareness of the charity and church and provide vital income that help preserve this historic and wonderful church.
The events would not be possible without volunteers to run them, and the Friends are very grateful for their support. It has been good to welcome new volunteers during 2025 who are now helping with catering and creating new and exciting events to attract visitors and future supporters.
## **Policy on Reserves**
The policy on Reserves is unchanged from previous years and is set out below: The Trust will operate two Reserves:
1. Operating Reserve with the objective to set aside 3 years of expenditure to cover the ongoing costs of the Trust (excluding expenditure for fund raising events) in the event of a significant loss of revenue.
2. Matched Funds Reserve to set aside funds to cover matched funding obligations from existing grants plus such funds as the trustees deem appropriate towards matched funding for future grant applications. In previous years the matched funds has increased annually by £5,000; however the payment of grants during the last few years has exceed income and in this financial year the matched funds reserve has been reduced by £30,000 in line with cash.
The funds will be commingled with the general cash of the Trust.
Use of the funds will be by application to the Chair and approved by a majority of the Trustees.
This policy will be reviewed at least annually and in accordance with the Trusts governance programme. The table below provides a summary of reserves as at 31 March 2026
|**Operating Reserve**|**Operating Reserve**|**Matched Funds Reserve**|**Matched Funds Reserve**|
|---|---|---|---|

## **Investment Policy**
This policy sets out the objectives of the investment (long and short term), the trustees approach to risk, liquidity requirements, management and ongoing monitoring and reporting. The investments are managed by a sub-committee of trustees.
## **Financial Review**
The March 2026 financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis using the Charities Commission template. The Trust will submit the full accounting template to the Charities commission, with a condensed version shown in this report, omitting those notes in the template that are not relevant to these accounts. The Statement of Financial Activities show that we received more income than paid out in expenses during the year. The principle sources of income are from Donations (£2,060) and Events (£1,560). The main expenditure relates to grant paid to St Hubert’s PCC (£14,023). This year our investments achieved an unrealised gain (£24,088) with investments valued at £219,810.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of The Friends of the Church of St Hubert Idsworth Trust**
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for t his y ear u nder section 144 of t he C harities A ct 2 011 ( the C harities A ct) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- ✓ examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities A ct,
- ✓ to follow the procedures laid down in the general D irections 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 Examiners Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the 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 Examiners Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect.
- ✓ accounting records were not kept in accordance with s ection 130 of the Charities Act or
- ✓ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
