Annual Report 2020

Barker Bridge House Trust (Church Branch)

Background

The full name of the charity is ‘Robert Barker or The Bridge House Trust (Church Branch)’ and is registered under Charity number 248191. The Trust is commonly known as ‘Barker Bridge House Trust (Church Branch)’ being its authorised working name. Any correspondence should be addressed to BBHT – The Treasurer, St Mary’s church vicarage – London Road, Datchet, SL3 9JW. The Trust’s bank account is entitled ‘Barker Bridge House Trust (Church Branch)’ located at CAF Vank Ltd, West Malling.

The Trust is operated in accordance with a scheme for the regulation of the Charity, sealed by order of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales on 22 June. 1961. The scheme provides for the Church Branch to have five trustees, who shall apply the income received from ‘Robert Barker or The Bridge House Trust (Estate)’ in or towards defraying the cost of the repair of the Parish Church, Datchet.

Following correspondence with the Charity Commission in 1998, the trustees have resolved to interpret the trust to permit them to reimburse the PCC of St. Mary the Virgin, Datchet as follows: - Any expenditure incurred in respect of keeping the Church (including the Church Room annexed to it, known from 2014 as the Church Community Centre) in a good state of repair and condition. This will be taken to include fees and costs associated with preventative maintenance; general maintenance; cleaning, insurance and replacements and improvements arising out of the need to repair. Expenditure on ancillary equipment that is necessary to undertake repairs to the Church, e.g. ladders, will also be permitted. In 2007 the Charity Commission agreed the PCC may be reimbursed the cost of services including heating, electricity, and water. In 2008 costs associated with churchyard maintenance became allowable.

Review of the Year

No meetings were held during 2020 due to the Pandemic. However a meeting was held in July 2021 to approve the accounts for 2019, approve accounts for 2020 (subject to audit) and the grants up to date of approved items to the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Datchet.

The income for the Trust for the year amounted to £30,090. Due to the pandemic funds were not received into the account during 2020 but deferred until 2021.
