- 1 - 



## 1. Objectives & Activities, Achievements & Performance. 

The objects of the trust are to advance religion by assisting in the reparation of the parish church of St Lawrence without Walmgate Bar in the City of York or to or for any purpose having its object the due and effective celebration of Divine Worship in such church and for such necessary and accustomed uses for the parish church of St Lawrence without Walmgate Bar in the City of York and to assist in the support, repair and maintenance of the ancillary Church Community Hall and Church grounds. 

We are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have taken it into account when making decisions. 

No grants were made during the period 13[th] June 2023 – 13[th] December 2024.  At present the PCC of St Lawrence is not seeking grants from the Church Estate. If the PCC do, the trustees will consider what financial help they can provide towards the upkeep of the buildings and mission of the church. However, the trustees feel that investment is needed in order to provide meaningful long-term support.  The trustees are also investigating ways of fund raising to increase the capital for the generation of income. 

## 2. Financial Review 

The total assets of the charity are in cash at the bank and stand at £38,908.50. The next accounting year will run from 14/12/24 – 31/12/25.  The medium to long term plan is to invest the bulk of the funds. There is no reserves policy and there are no outstanding liabilities we consider the charity to be a going concern. 

## 3. Structure, governance & management 

The trust is a charitable incorporated constitution (COIO) and trustees are appointed by a resolution at a meeting, properly convened, of existing trustees.
