Friends of St Fimbarrus
The Friends of St Fimbarrus Fowey Charity No. 1044194
Overview
The Friends Trust charity was established in February 1995 in order to ensure that the fabric of the church building is maintained. Over the last 30 years it has raised significant amounts of money which have been used for many valuable repairs and restoration projects.
However, in recent years the trust has had problems attracting new Trustees and is sadly now without a Treasurer, as well as lacking general management and administration skills.
The Church PCC has recently discussed this matter to find the best way forward. The PCC proposes that the trust be dissolved and its funds moved into a new PCC bank account – which will be restricted so that it can only be used for the same purposes as The Friends Trust. This will enable the PCC and its Treasurer to manage the funds and their application.
The PCC has nominated James Kirby, as well as Revd. Carol Edleston (ex officio), to join Tessa Williams and Janet Howard on the Executive Committee of the Friends Trust. James has kindly agreed to act as the main contact for the charity until the proposed dissolution. We will keep you updated as the charity is wound up and appreciate that many people may wish to continue supporting the fabric of our historic church building, and we will ensure that is still possible.
