The preservation repair maintenance improvement upkeep or beautification of any Christian church within either the Church of England Diocese of Worcester or the County of Worcester. 2. The Education of the public in the history and architecture of churches. Trustees: New Trustees are appointed by the serving Trustees. The total number of Trustees shall not exceed eleven. There is a sub Committee for the running of the Cycle Ride that has one member who is not a Trustee. There is also a sub Committee for the arrangement of events. Decisions are made by the Trustees at their quarterly meetings. Administration is carried out between meetings by the Secretary in accordance with guidelines agreed from time to time. The Trust is affiliated with the Historic Churches Preservation Trust (Registered Charity Number 207402). Policy: The Trust has no permanent endowment and distributes the income. Apart from the reimbursement of some expenses no payments are made to Trustees. During the year we approved provisional grants to 17 Churches totalling £34,400 of which £2,000 was on behalf of the Manifold Trust. We paid out £29,000 and a further £12,500 was paid by the Manifold Trust. A further 15 authorised grants remain to be paid totalling £28,400. GRANT APPLICATIONS</div><div align="left"> All requests for grants must be made through our Secretary who, providing the project meets our criteria, will forward an application form for completion. A considerable amount of information is requested both in relation to the scope and specification of the project, and the profile and financial position of the parish. Applications are considered at the quarterly Trustee meetings when provisional grants are agreed, and then confirmation of the grant is subsequently given following a satisfactory visit to the church by a Trustee. The grant reservation is normally held for a maximum period of twelve months, and payment will only be made following receipt of an architect’s interim certificate or an appropriate invoice. </div>wdhcthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10994075804686424209noreply@blogger.com
