2025 Annual Report for The Friends of Snape Church, Charity number 1202538
Registered address Smithy Cottage, The Street, Snape, IP17 1SH
Trustees: Jacqueline Allfrey Miranda Barclay Georgina Lock Margaret McKenna Christine Quinn Gregory Spray
The Trustees meet about six times annually, and have appointed a Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. There are no employees. New Trustees when required will be recruited from those within the Snape community who can bring relevant interest, skills and experience. The objective of the Charity is to raise funds for the maintenance and improvement of the fabric of the Church of St John the Baptist, Snape, and to develop community use of the church. It has done this through the organisation of performances in the church and elsewhere in the village, and by creating a network of Friends who are willing to be involved in raising funds.
The Charity was set up on March 29[th] 2023. In 2025 there were eight fundraising events and a number of additional individual donations, and the surplus for the year was £3,818. The reserves carried forward from 2024 were £8,277 and the Trustees were pleased to be able to make their first contribution to a maintenance project at the church in 2025. In August £8,000 was transferred to Snape Parochial Church Council as a contribution towards the cost of replacing the guttering and fascia panels, leaving £4,095 at the year-end to be carried forward for future projects.
Attendance at events was very good, and the Trustees are pleased to note that, as well as enabling our first maintenance project, the events held in the church are increasing its accessibility to the local and wider community.
