Histon and Impington Town Charity Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1208218 **Histon and Impington Town Charity Annual Report and Accounts 13[th] May 2024 to 30[th] September 2025** ## **Histon and Impington Town Charity (CIO 1208218) Trustees’ Annual Report 13 May 2024 – 30 September 2025** ## 1. Reference and Administrative Details Registered charity number: 1208218. Registered address: 16 Villa Place, Impington, Cambridge CB24 9PR. Trustees: The Rev’d Canon James Blandford-Baker, Marian Cleaver, Max Parish, Paul Glass, Dr. Brian Ing, Alison Fisher (appointed 2/9/2024) Clerk: Julie Jocelyn. ## 2. Structure, Governance and Management The CIO is governed by its constitution and operated by its trustees. Along with Histon and Impington Town Charity No 203213 with the same trustees and objects, meetings were held regularly throughout 2024–25 addressing governance, compliance, and progressing CIO enabling work as recorded in its minutes. ## 3. Objectives and Activities The CIO's object is the relief of persons in need, hardship, or distress in Histon & Impington. Activities will continue to include hardship grants, third-party grants, and management of allotment land. ## 4. History The Histon and Impington Town Charity (Registered no 203213) applied to become a CIO in May 2024, after consulting with Histon and Impington Parish Council, the Parochial Church Council of St. Andrews Impington and the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Andrew with St. Etheldreda, who are responsible for appointing the charity’s trustees. The trustees of the charity agreed to transfer the assets of the charity to the CIO (of the same name) with a transfer date of 1 October 2025 and then close the old charity. The Charity Commission agreed for the transfer to take place by an order dated 23/7/25. ## 5. Achievements and Performance The CIO has not traded during this period due to the time taken to facilitate the changes required to transfer all the assets and liabilities from the old charity No. 203213 to the new CIO No,1208218. ## 5. Financial Review All trading during this period was carried out by charity Histon and Impington Town Charity No. 203213. ## 6. Policies A review of the policies transferred from the old charity will be made during the next financial year. ## 7. Plans for Future Periods In the coming year two longstanding trustees of the charities will be stepping down from the roles. These are both appointees of the Parish Council of Histon and Impington. The chair of the trustees has met with the chair of the Parish Council to discuss the skillsets needed in trustees by the charity with a view to encouraging the Parish Council to appoint appropriately qualified trustees for the coming four year period of office. This period of uncertainty is recognized a risk applying to charity (and is detailed on the risk register). ## 8. Trustees’ Responsibilities Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and ensuring compliance with charity law, maintaining proper accounting records, and safeguarding the CIO’s assets. ## 9. Approval and Signature This report was approved by the trustees on [date] and signed on their behalf by: The Rev’d Canon James Blandford-Baker (Chair) ## Histon and Impington Town Charity Charity No. 1208218 Annual Accounts for the period 13/05/2024 to 30/09/2025 Statement of financial activities (including summary income and expenditure account) |**Income**
