Some notes and explanations.
Previous CAF bank closed 17/1/25. Balance £788.59 was transferred to new Co-op Bank, no overall income or expenditure so no separate accounting entries here. Co-op bank (current, instant and 35-day savings A/Cs) had been opened May 2024.
18/1/25 post-CAF: Co-op current A/C £865.08, Co-op Instant £2700, Co-op 35-day £5044.
We have altered our accounting year-end to 18/1/25, due to our banking change.
Gift Aid for 2x£2,000 donations late 2024 was paid 22/4/2025, so will appear in next year’s accounts.
We are currently awaiting roofing repairs, estimate cost slightly under £5,000, and possibly further double glazing costing several thousand pounds next year. Our monthly income remains satisfactory.

Church Houses, Poughill, 2024 Annual Report
Introduction
This is the Annual Report of the Church Houses, CC Number 258401.
We function from The Old School, Poughill EX23 9ER. Our principle office is at Bay Trees, Holnicote Road, Bude EX23 8EJ.
Our Trustees in October 2025 were:
Dr Richard James Page, Bay Trees, Holnicote Road, BUDE EX23 8EJ.
Rev Teresa Lorraine Folland, 5 Cormorant Close, BUDE , Cornwall , EX23 8FJ. Mr Mark Edgar John Sinden, Roselan Meadows, Kilkhampton, BUDE, EX23 9RF
Mr Howard John Emmens, Bay Tree House, Poughill, Bude, EX23 9EL.
Mrs Kathleen Emmens, Bay Tree House, Poughill, Bude, EX23 9EL
During 2024 and until 1st July 2025 Timothy George Symonds, Minster Gate, Cleavelands, Bude EX23 8AD was a trustee.
Structure and Governance
The primary Governing Document is the Charity Commission Schedule of 18th Oct 1935 and CC Registration 24th Aug 1969, together with the Schedule of 2nd September 1969 and letter from Mr Eric Chegwin dated 23rd Dec 1974.
The Incumbent and Churchwardens of St Olaf’s Church, Poughill, are appointed Trustees as of right.
Our purposes include the maintenance of a previous (small) village school building as a Church Hall and community asset, supported by rental income from two adjacent cottages. We continue to offer the latter to local working people, avoiding them becoming holiday properties or second homes. To that end we work to maintain our buildings and host local groups wishing to use the now almost fully renovated Old School.
The latter renovation has required most of our effort and assets through the year. We benefitted hugely from a very generous grant from Drs Paget, allowing us to advance the renovations in record time, rather than over a number of years, as our income would otherwise have allowed. We have now completed enough of the Old School renovations to allow the Church to use it for weekly Sunday Club, and latterly a few external events.
