## Hamsey Church Trust – Annual Report for 2023 

1. We are sad to report the deaths earlier in 2024 of Dione Flinn and Jeremy Debenham, both significant benefactors of the Trust, siblings of my wife, Harriet Lear, who died on 4[th] June 2023 as we reported last year. Their parents, Horace and Audrey Debenham, lived in Hamsey and are buried in the Hamsey churchyard. 

2. The purposes of the Trust remain as follows: _To advance the Christian religion by providing and assisting in the conservation, repair, maintenance, improvement, upkeep and beautification of St Peter’s Church, Hamsey, Sussex and of its monuments, fittings, fixtures, furniture and surrounds._ 

3. This (2023) has been the seventh year of the Trust’s existence. Funds held are intended as a permanent endowment (but with discretion to use the capital). We are not anticipating any more capital receipts. No payments were made this year. 

4. We earned no bank interest during the year. 

5. We have maintained our investments in two COIF (Charities Official Investment Fund) funds managed by CCLA (Churches, Charities and Local Authorities) Investment Management Limited. We have continued to keep a proportion in hand having regard to possible needs. At the year end, cash at bank amounted to £9,769 and the value of the invested fund was £162,571. Thus the total asset value was £172,340. 

6. Although we have not reviewed our internal financial controls this year, we do not think any modification is needed. 

7. The trustees are conscious of, and have regard to, the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and we are satisfied that the trust complies with the guidance.
