Old s(￿)01 Room CAN WE CLOSE THE OLD SCH(X)L ROOM CHARITY> In the CDuf5È of 2024, we Investigated whetherwe could dosethe Old school Aoom charity3nd, a5 a result. getimmediateaccess ttrthe funds available. This Chèritywasformed ln December 1992,. it owned the Old School Room. Originally, theold SchDoI Roo was builtas a CofE primary school in 1858 but when it appeared too srnall, a new school wa5 built in 1874. From then on, the OldSchool Room was used ￿ a Church Hall. The buildiw was 501d in May 2009. The net woceeds of the sale amounted to £53.348.08. This money is ifi a spEoal CCLAin¥estment account. According to the Rules of the Charitystheme, the income frorn thi5 CCLA account can only be u5ed.in furtherin8 the religiou5 and othercharitable work of the Church of EllKland in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Marbn ofTours, WestCoker."The annual interest income from this accoL￿t has been spènt on thegener purp05esofthe church. Accordin8 tothe same rules, the capital resultingfrom the sale of the Old School Room cannot beexpended ut Tnust be invested,. this is called è permanent endowment. This can only be used to"recreate facilities". Before closing the Old Sthool Room Charity, the permafteni endowment Should either be spent according to its purpose. the recreation of faolities. or should be transferred to another chanty. C105iry Theold school RoDrn Charity by means of transferrin8the perrnanent endowrnent to anather charity, for example St. Martin of Tours PCC, would only crpate legal and admini5tratwehurdle5. The permanentendowrnent woulij still have tD b2 separately aC￿U￿ted for and sbll could only be spent by recreating facilitie5. Transferring to anoiher charity istherefore not the prefeTred way. The conclusion of thi5 invp5tl83tion wa5 thatthe best Y4ayto closethe 05R Charity15 by spendingth permanent endowrnent to recreite facilitie5.
