Finances

The Trust’s accounts are maintained by the Honorary Treasurer and Trustee, Paul Kent CPFA. The accounts are independently examined by Edwards and Keeping, Chartered Accountants. Copies of the full accounts can be obtained on request from the Clerk.

The Trust has a general fund that covers many of its activities, as well as some restricted funds. The accounts for the last financial year (ending 31st March 2025) show that the Trust held £88,738 in the general fund balance, with a further £3,620 held in restricted (earmarked) funds. The balance in the restricted funds largely stems from a substantial legacy donation in memory of the late Rod Shipley.  

Details of the use of funds is covered in the section dealing with projects and activities.
