The trustees are appointed by the existing trustees.
The Trust is independent from but works closely with the Parochial Church
Council of the Eccksiastical Parish of Kendal Icharity No. 11329471 and the
Kendal (Kirklandl Trust (Charity No. 11769721. Administration services are
performed by the office ol the Ec¢lesiaslKal Parish of Kendal, and the
trustees are grateful for that support.
Use of the hall increased throughout the year, and rt has been used lor a
number of parties and community activities as well as church group acb"vty.
The freehold land adjoining the Hall, together with neighbouring land own
by the Kendal IKirklandl TTU8t is used to provide paid parking for residents
and visitors to Kendal. The parking is managed on the Trusts, behalf by
Westmorland & Furness Council. In determining the Trust's activities, the
trustees have had regard lo the guidance issued by the Charty Commission
on public benefit.
The Trust's accounts, which are prepared on a receipts and paymenls basis,
showed that receipts for the year ex￿eded payments by £42,312. No major
expenditure was encountered during the year. Re-roofing the Narthex, has not
taken place due lo having insufficient funds. Alternative ways to have this
work been done are beino investiaaled.
At 31st December 2025 the transferred reserves tolalled £176,922 {2024'.
£134,609). In accordance with the reseryes policy, the Iruslees intend to keep
approximately one year's day to day running costs in the General Reserve
and lo transfer any surplus amounts lo other reserves. If necessary, the other
reserves wll be reduced to maintain this level. A Car Park Resurfacing
Reserve will be built up by annual increments of approximately £3,500 to
cover the trustees, share of the eventual costs of resurfacing the ear park.
This currently stands at £21,000. A Major Repairs and Improvements Reserve
will be built up from remaining surplus re￿iptS to allow the Trustees lo
undertake repairs without jeopardising the financing of day-to-day aclivily.
