Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust was constituted as an unincorporated charity under a trust deed dated 31 December 1986.
On 1 April 2018 the activities, assets and liabilities of the charity were transferred to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) also known as Nottinghamshire Historic Church’s Trust which had been incorporated on 15 February 2017.
The constitution of the new charity reflected in substance the constitution of the unincorporated charity and gives responsibility for the management of the Trust trustees, being a number between four and twenty-five.
Appointment of trustees
New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. The trustees consult widely with appropriate bodies before issuing invitations to future trustees. Trustees serve for five years after which time they are eligible for re-appointment.
Organisational structure
Meetings of the trustees are held four times a year. At these meetings the trustees approve grant applications. They are assisted by a Grants Committee which meets quarterly and considers applications for grants and makes recommendations to the trustees. Sub-committee are appointed to deal with social functions and other matters as needed.
Consideration of major risks
It is the Trust's policy to make grants only if it has the money in hand. It does not consider, therefore, that it is exposed to major risks which might arise as a result of a reduction in donations or a fall in interest and dividends.
Recent events have demonstrated that all organisations are exposed to serious risks arising from factors outside their control. The trustees monitor such risks but consider that the charity has sufficient liquid resources to meet its actual and potential liabilities.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects
The preservation, repair, maintenance, improvement, beautification and reconstruction of churches or chapels in the City and County of Nottingham and any other churches in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, and of monuments, fittings, stained glass, bells, clocks etc. in such churches.
Activities
The Trust carried out its objects by making grants for the repair and maintenance of churches to those bodies responsible for their upkeep. The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Buildings for which grants are made must be in use for public worship by a Christian denomination and the trustees consider that, since public access to the buildings that it assists is freely available, it complies with the guidance on public benefit.
The Trust's income is derived from fund raising activities and donations from the public and other trusts and institutions.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES – continued
Policy on grant making
The Trust will consider applications for buildings which are used for public Christian worship provided that they are older than 30 years. Grants normally cover only a proportion of the total cost of repairs. Grant-aid is intended to assist in the sympathetic repair of historic churches and chapels and their fittings and will normally not be made for works of modernisation, alteration or improvement. The Trust expects that competent professional advice will be sought by the applicant.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the Trust over the course of the next few years to make grants that are in excess of income in order to reduce the level of our reserves. The general level of grant made is fixed by reference to anticipated demand and this varies over the year and from year to year.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Grants made
Grants awarded during the period totalled £45,550 (2024: 35,150). Full details of the recipient churches and a description of the way that the grants have been used can be found on our website.
FUND RAISING
Donations
Donations received in the year totalled £32,701 (2024:58,617) of which £26,741 were unrestricted donations (2024: £56,137).
Ride and Stride
The sponsorship income this period was £20,189 (2024: £17,699) of which £9,282 (2024: £7,919) was returned to participating churches.
Summer Party
The summer party was held at Staunton Hall and this proved to be a great success.
Income raised from ticket sales amounted to £4,122 and the net income raised for the Trust was £2,675.
Friends
The Friends number 124, including 14 life members
During the year there were 2 friends visits; to Kingston on Sour and Ratcliffe on Soar in April and to Clipstone and Edwinstowe in October.
Publicity
This period the Trust has issued two Newsletters. Our thanks to the editor, Andrew Paris, and to others who have contributed. This is a much-appreciated addition to our efforts to make the work of the Trust more widely known.
We also thank Andy Nicholson who continues to care for the Trust's website and extend its use.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income
The income for the year after deducting the cost of fund-raising activities was £43,840 (2024: £66,343).
Donations in the period were £32,701 (2024: £56,617).
Activities for generating funds raised £15,629 (2024: £13,551) with the Ride and Stride being the main contributor. (See Note 3 and 5 for details).
Investment income was £5,395 (2024: £4,278).

The expenditure of the Trust, excluding grants, was £15,641 (2024: £16,109).
Expenses associated with generating income were £9,886 (2024: £10,099).
Grants
The grants that we make for the repair and maintenance of churches form the largest part of our expenditure. In the period to 31 March 2025 this was £45,550 (2024: £35,150). This figure depends on the applications that we receive rather than the availability of funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material threats to the ability of the charity to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
