Two expressions of interest (EOI) have been submitted to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). The first explored a potential partnership with The Imperial Building looking to develop a heritage quarter in the heart of the town and provide substantial funding for Rotherham Minster’s reordering project. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the** Following the rejection and feedback from NLHF on this bid the trustees **public benefit in relation to** began work on a further EOI, focussed exclusively on Rotherham **these objects (include within** Minster.

The recommendation was **declaration that trustees have** to submit a bid for some extra pre-development work that would allow us **had regard to the guidance** to go back to the NLHF for major funding. **issued by the Charity Commission on public** In September trustees were informed that the Minster’s development **benefit)** plans had received approval in principle by the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) which confirmed their support of the PCC’s direction of travel.

The Bishop of Sheffield was supporting this event by abseiling with the Vicar from the bell tower into the body of the church. The chair of trustees developed a communications strategy and with the support of OneGilliland the event was put together. On the day it was very well received with the morning event getting National TV coverage and the afternoon public launch well attended by a good number of local business leaders and members of the public, In May a supper club was held in the All Saints Centre to further support the work of the trust and in June a Dearne Big Band concert was held in Rotherham Minster in aid of the trust. Trustees staffed Rotherham Minster on Armed Forces Day in June, selling refreshments to the general public. Throughout the rest of the year trustees continued to work with OneGilliland on the development of funding bids to the NLHF and the building of partnerships with other key organisations in the town. We are very grateful for all those who have supported the work of the trust throughout the year. However, special thanks go to Steph El Ildrissi who stepped down as chair this year. Steph’s contribution to the trust has been much appreciated. **TAR** March **2012** 4 **Section E Financial review** ~~a~~ None currently **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** **Details of any funds materially** NONE **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## ~~ee~~ **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** ~~a~~ **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Philip John Batchford ~~ee~~ **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Secretary **etc)** ~~ee~~ **TAR** March **2012** 5 Dale 12 May 2025 TAR March 2012 ROTHERHAM PARISH CHURCH DEVELOPMENT TRUST Registered Charity No. 518126 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES For the year ending 31" December 2024 Restricted Fund Total 2024 Total 2023 INCOMING RESOURCES Misc Donations Planned Giving -Gift Aided Just Giving - Internet Abseil Misc donations Fund Raising Coffee morning February Minster Coffee Morning Christmas Coffee Morning Coffee Morning Mrs D Clifford Mrs A Hicks Birthday Mrs V Badger- sale of cards Schools Symphony Concert Corylian Concert Armed Forces Day Coffee Morning Dearne Valley Big Band Thos Rotherhaffl Exhibition Supper Club Family Fun Day Fun Day- SS Grow £20 Sale of Print Coffee Morning HeritagelHistory HeritagelHistory ss HeritagelHistory Tower Tours Collection Switch on Night Christmas Fayre Bank Interest Gift Aid Claims 30,497.00 120.00 30,497.00 120.00 40,000.00 120.00 2,636.13 482.09 3,118.22 3,118.22 28.00 143.20 182.50 457.38 1,506.00 70.00 513.91 298.04 870.28 36. 70 1,043.36 220,46 352.08 53.10 341.54 775.00 50.00 413.00 42.00 65.00 65.00 1,065.(10 30.05 5,200.06 806,50 3,000.00 42,741.78 5,200.06 806.50 3,000.00 42,741.78 363.69 10,093.00 53.998.23 RESOURCES EXPENDED Abseil Launch 2024 Planned 2025 Architects Fees Misc Expenses Minster Grow Lunch - Launch 2024 Dearne BB- Advertising Dearne BB - Alcohol License Dearne BB- Fees Christmas Fayre Gift Refreshments Professional se￿ices Printing 2.640.00 1,200.00 3.840.00 6,720.00 3,840,00 6,720.00 33.10 96.90 234.00 21.00 313.00 65.00 52.00 815.00 815.00 218.33 31,664.64 2,296.49 34,179.46 21.243.35 612.56 33,230.91 21,243.35 612.56 33,230.91 Over Page 2 2024 2024 2023 Net Incomingloutgoing (-) Resources 9,510.87 9,510.87 19,818.77 Fund Balances at I" January 2024 46,845.33 46,845.33 27,026.56 Fund Balances at 31" December 2024 56,356.20 5635620 46.845.33 The Charity has no recognised gains or losses other than the net outgoing resources.
