Ashley Church CIO
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022
Ashley Church CIO was constituted 20[th] April 2020 and is a registered charity incorporated organisation No. 1189293. Its address is Ashley Church, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 5DA. The charity trustees during the year to 31 December 2022 were:
Mrs Gillian Bywaters, Mrs Carole Perryman, Mr Shaun Perryman, Mrs Claire Wilkinson, Mrs Gillian Jalland, Ms Claire Pinney
The object of the charity is to further the religious and other activities of ASHLEY CHURCH in accordance with its Statement of Beliefs (reproduced in the Declaration of Trust). The Trust is handling all the funds given to the Church by agreement of the members of the church. All the Leadership Team of the Church are Trustees, and this will continue as a matter of policy.
The charity began as a result of an existing charity (Ashley Church Fellowship Trust No. 1066501) changing from being an unincorporated charity to a charity incorporated organisation during 2020. However, as a result of delays created by the COVID pandemic and other issues beyond our control in transferring the property deeds to the new organisation this CIO has remained in a dormant state. During 2021 we continued the process of converting to a charitable incorporated organisation and as of 1[st] January 2022 the conversion was completed. The Ashley Church Fellowship Trust was therefore closed on of 31[st] December 2021 and the new Ashley Church Trust took control on 1[st] January 2022
There were four meetings of the Trustees during the year as part of the Joint Elders and Trustees Meetings. We received regular reports from Clive Pickering (the Trust Treasurer) and the Trustees monitored the financial situation based on these reports. The accounts were independently examined and reported on by P. Laskier FCCA of Fenlon & Co Chartered Certified Accountants Rivermill House, 6 High Street Wheathampstead, Herts. There were also reports from the Building Maintenance Committee. This arrangement of meetings has worked well and efficiently.
The financial situation during the year has been good and we were able to provide for all the costs the church required, which included:
General running and Ashley building maintenance costs Contributions to missionary work and charitable giving
The funds are provided by regular giving of church members and those who attend regularly, along with gifts from other benefactors. All church funds are administered through the Trust for the benefit of the church, and other Christian work. The Trustees noted that the overall financial situation is good.
Overall, the Trust is able to meet its commitments and liabilities with sufficient reserves to meet any foreseeable liabilities.
The financial situation will continue to be reviewed on a regular basis.
