The planned merger of the Parish of St Peter’s Church Hurstbourne Tarrant (HbT) with 8 other parishes to form the Parish of Pastrow led to a noticeable drop in income to the church.

The purpose of this ‘Friends Fund’ is to provide such potential donors with an alternative, accompanied with the Summary of the main assurance that their donations will be used wholly and exclusively for St activities undertaken for the Peter’s Church, HbT. public benefit in relation to these objects (include within From the outset it was stressed that this Fund would not be in a fund- this section the statutory raising competition with Pastrow. declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance The main feature of this start-up year has been the length of time it has issued by the Charity taken to complete the necessary documentation with: Commission on public Charity Commission - applied 28/03/23, registered 18/04/23; benefit) Operating Bank Account - applied 06/05/23, opened 17/07/23; HMRC - applied 24/08/23, agreed 14/12/23; Deposit/Investment Accounts - applied 19/08/23, opened 02/04/24.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The delays described meant that opening publicity for the Friends locally was delayed until November 2023. However, it immediately attracted the transfer of a generous legacy from a late villager, along with some standing order/regular donations. Accounts were opened with the C of E Deposit and Investment Funds so that the Trust is now able to provide a budget for the advancement of Christian religion in St Peter’s Church and to assist in funding the preservation, repair and improvement of the church and churchyard .
