Theydon Garnon Church Fabric Fund Annual Report year end December 2023 Charity number: 282385 Theydon Garnon Church Fabric Fund was set up in 1981 to help fund the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of All Saints Church Theydon Garnon in Essex. It is a grade 1 listed church. The charity has 4 trustees who are all members of Theydon Garnon Parochial Church Council. In 2021 the PCC received the church building quinquennial report which highlighted the poor condition of the church roof,with tiles slipping and issues with water incursion into the church putting the historic church contents at risk. The PCC and trustees decided to launch a ‘raise the roof’ campaign to raise funds to repair and retile the main church roofs. The architect was instructed to prepare a specification and a faculty was applied for from the diocese of Chelmsford to give permission for the works. It was estimated that the church needed to raise £153,000 to fund these works. During 2023 grants were sought from grant making bodies and donations and fundraising from those who live in the parish or are members of the church have increased funds in the account by £46,022, giving an end year total towards the works of £67,636. By the year's end a further £40,000 had been offered by grant bodies which would be payable once the project was underway and so not shown in the accounts Richard Clay Trustee ## **THEYDON GARNON CHURCH FABRIC FUND** ## **Receipts & Payments Account - Designated and Unrestricted** |**Receipts**
