Registered charity number 1168889
The Charity was formed in August 2016.This is the report covering the Charities activities since the last AGM held on 5 June 2022. Together with the approved accounts it will form the basis of the submission to The Charities Commission. Since the last AGM there have been 7 meetings of the Trustees.
The Charity was founded so that our Church remains the symbolic centre of our village and continues to be able to be used by a wide range of community activities. The maintenance and heritage of the building, fabric and surrounds are our principal concerns.
The Trustees deal with suitable requests for finance to keep the Church and surroundings in good order.
The current trustees are:
Andrew Fisher KC (Chair)
Philip Guise (secretary)
Chris Bristow (treasurer)
Catherine Fisher
Felicity Burman
Katie Wormington
John Eaton
Simon Sharp
We are sorry to report the sad death of Mike Sansom who served as Trustee but retired a few months ago. Our thoughts are with his family.
