TRUST PROPERTY HELD IN CONNECTION WITH ST. MARY’S RC CHURCH, LITTLE CROSBY
YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Principal Office:
Crosby Hall Little Crosby Liverpool L23 4UA
Trustees:
M F Whitlock Blundell B A Coyne
Registered Charity No.
246315
Objectives and Activities of the Charity
The charity is constituted by an Indenture dated 15 December 1857 made by Nicholas Blundell, which created a trust to own St Mary’s RC Church Little Crosby and adjoining land and building, to use the same for purposes connected with the Roman Catholic religion.
At the present time, the trust owns St Mary’s Church, which continues in use as a place of Roman Catholic worship, the adjoining burial ground, the Parish Hall, and two houses (the Presbytery and West Lane House) let to residential tenants.
The trust income is used to maintain the buildings owned by the trust and to support the religious work of the Parish of Little Crosby. The buildings are old and the present and future burden of repair and maintenance is considerable.
Activity during the year
This was a quiet year, with relatively little expenditure, providing a surplus which enabled the Trust to repay its outstanding debt to the Crosby Estate.
We invested £180,000 in COIF Charities Investment Fund Income Units during the year.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Trust Property Held in Connection with St. Mary’s Church, Little Crosby
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 5 April 2023.
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
