BARRON BELL TRUST
REPORT OF ￿lANA61￿,G TRUSTF.F.S
FOR YEAR ENDED 19th FEBRiiARY 2024
The Trustees of Ihe Charit), remain ihe same al the end of the )'ear as ai ihe beginning-
lan Walrond
Nigel Kid50n
Ann Bryant-Fenn
Managing Trusiee
Financial Truslee
Ecclesiaslical Trustcc
The applicalions have increased dramaiicall).. 10 29 applicaiion fornis sent out. These
applicants arc invited to complcle our slandard applicaiion fomi and Ihe iothl number of
application fom)s considered ihis i'rar included some applications from the prei'ious N'ear. Of
Ihese only l il'as offered a Grnni, 6 Il'ere rcfused. Of all the applicaiion lornis seni out onl), 15
are Still aivaiied ai the end of ihe lear. All Ihese applications are considered against the
parameters sei doi¥n in thc original Trusi Deed. The dramatic rcdLÈciion ofgranls offered and
outstanding is as a resuli ol- a concerted eifort to idcniif), applications thai hai'c fallcn aii'ay.
have no realistic likelihood of comin2 10 fruiiion or have been ii'iihdraiyn for ii,haiei'er
reason. We believe thai Covid. BreKii and ihe global financial silualion have had a significant
impact on activity-
In this year we have found our reiums from the Charilies 0￿1ClaI Investmeni Fund increased
slighil>'ly over last vear ai £?8464. The tolal MetroBank interest has increased modcstly.
This lolloivs the gcneral rise in bank interest ratcs ii'ith a combined income from Ihe bank
accounts of £979. l'0￿1 income for the )'ear amounied to £29464 - a ii'elcome increase again
over last year. The operalion of the MeiroBank Accounts have remained saiisfactory. No
bank charges ivere incurred.
Passing lo Ihe adminislrxiive e.xpense& there has been a slight dccrease io £1151. and the
cosis now amount io l 0/0 of ihe income. This lias because thc accounlanc>' fees iwhich ii'ere
incurred in the prcvious ￿rIOd M'ere seiiled. The Trusiees did nol have an 'in person
mccting to discuss the financial siiuaiion and dccidc on ii,heiher an), changes in procedure
Ivere required. The grnnt business ivas conductcd largelv bv CO￿eSpOndence. No casual
Secretarial assistance i¥'as emplo)'ed. and po5￿ge cNpen5¢s ii'ere reimbursed to the Managing
Trusiee.
Considering ihe sthiement of asse15 and liabilities. there has been an increase in the capilhl
value of ihe sha￿S held at ihe Charilies OITicial Inveslmeni Fund ofaboul 1.50/0. This refleLIs
the aclivit). in ihe Siock Markei Indices for the period. Despilc the Trustees polic), of
endcavoiiring to disposc of raiher more of the accumulated income. Ihe accumulaied
disposable income has increased significanill,. Ive suspect that there has ￿en a rcducrion in
work started to bell ii'ork. This gii'cs us a ii'orkable buffer bui means that our granls musl
remain in line ii'iih income. Illiih onl¥. £11500 committed. li'e must noiv manage the granls
book and ive musi reconsider the level of Granls io bc made. We must coniinue dialogue lo
ascertain the position so ihat Ihe funds can be more generouslN' augmented if appropriale. The
situation is of courso govcrned b}. the merits of ihe applications and ihe speed al ii,hiLh
applications are made and applicalion fomis returned. It ivill be noted ihat several grants
I'ere ivithdraii'n in the period.

The Trustees remain of a mind lo approve a lesser number of larger grants raihcr Ihan a larger
number of smaller grants. or Ihe applications that are currentli, lii'c. there are onl!, 4
applications ivhere grant5 are approved bui no ini'oices have been received. There are 8
applicanis from i%.hom lye are i¥'aiiing application fomis M,ho havc been chased. There are
noii, 9 applications cU￿ently. held in abei.ance i%'here applicanis have Liiher been asked for
additional inforniation or thc!, hai'e becn placed in abei'ance pending Ihe lime ii,hen Ihc
applicanis havc raised rather more of ihe mone!. Ihei. are seeking. When this ha5 occurrLXI,
'e will consider Ihe appliLations. ￿,¢ must addrcss ihcse applications periodicall), to
ascertain Ehc w)silion.
The situation iviih rc2ard to applications is. lo some eitent. conlrolled b!. Ihe Trusie¢s, by th¢
speed al i¥hich correspondence is deali ii'iih. il'e make no apologics for this. Many
applications fall awa￿. as the initial enthusiasm for fund rnising diminishcs. There 1£ no w)int
in ihe Trusiees committing time and large sums to funds 11,here therc is little likelihood ofthe
project proceeding. Iniiial leiiers receivcd arc replied to H'iih applicaiion fomis in balches
rather Ihan individuallv. As a re5uli ihere is often some lime beiil'een the initial letter and the
sending oui of ihe fomi. This alloii's a period of realism to settle on the fundraisers and
several of the applications fall aii'a), and applications are never received. We do not consider
grants 11,here less than tti'o thirds of the fund has alreadi. been raised. This makes sure thai li'e
are coniributing loivards funds ihai have a realistic chance of achieving iheir goal. It also
means ihat ive give a bwst to the fund at a time ii,hen fundraising ma). be faltering.
In conclusion. the capilal value of the Trust improved in ihe Charities O￿l¢la] Investment
Fund bul ineome remains similar. There is a sieadi.. floii. of applicanls and ihere are no signs
of decline in the popularii). of bellringing. Costs of repair5 and re-hanging continue lo rise
and ivith ihe slabilisation of annual and accumulaied income. Ihe numbers of applicants ihat
we can 5UPPOrt inevitably reduces making the apportionment of grants even more difficuli.
It is a matter of some disappointment io the Trustres ihat we continue to get applications for
funds ilhich have no relevance lo bells or bellringing. This is a iillasle of resources as ￿,¢
annot support these funds.
