BISHOPSTEIGNTON HERITAGE (A Charitable Incorporated Organisationl REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Reserve Policy, Investment Policy and Risk Management The Trustees review the Reserves of Ihe Charity on a regular basis and consider these are adequate to ensure the continuation of Our Aims These are to have sufficient Cash Reserves in order to maintain sufficient working capital for Ihe Charity to operate for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing of this Report, together with a Capital Cash Reserve sum {presenlly £45,000) lo act as a 'Buffer" or to be used for any sizeable project that may fall within the remit of Our Charity. At the year end our major investments were held in property, with two of these generating sufficient net rental income to fund day to day running costs. This policy is reviewed on a regular basis. Currently we have no Stock Exchangelcharity Commission type investments but again this policy is kept under review. The Trustees regularly consider the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and consider that these are mitigated via the Governance of our Board of Trustees which has suitable knowledge and experience of the field in which we operate. Chairman's Review of Activities and Developments Finances Both our rental properties were rented out for the full year with no renlal voids which provided us with our main source of income. Our admin expenses were more or less in line the previous year and we sustained no major property costs. Our financial position remains strong with reserves sufficient to meet our current and anticipated requirements. The need to expand During the year we had 16,300 views to our vjebsite with 3,000 active users. In January we held a full team open workshop when it was appreciated that we needed more space to function as a museum and to achieve our aim of becoming accredited. We are now planning lo expand into another former class room- the Hawkins room. Work is ongoing to arrange this expansion with a proposed grant request from the National Lottery being worked on by The Community Centre. I would like to thank James Hooper for the many hours he has put into this project.
