Annual Impact Evaluations & Territorial Audits

Audited Outcomes

Measuring Real Public Benefit in Serazereux

As an institutional non-profit operating exclusively in the public interest (Association Loi 1901, RNA W283003034, SIREN 923755292), Les Amis de la Sauvegarde du Patrimoine de Serazereux considers accountability to be an essential obligation. We evaluate our operational performance not through commercial financial metrics, but through tangible public benefits: historical monuments stabilized, volunteer hours mobilized, educational encounters delivered, and cultural access broadened for all residents.

Every year, our association produces a comprehensive Annual Impact Evaluation and Territorial Heritage Audit that is formally presented to the Municipal Council of Serazereux, deposited with the Prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, and made freely available to the public. This page presents the executive summaries, verified indicators, and downloadable audit dossiers from our recent operating cycles.

Key Performance Indicators (2025–2026 Fiscal Cycle)

Our quantitative and qualitative evaluation framework tracks four core dimensions of public utility impact:

Territorial Audit: Condition Assessment of Saint-Denis Church

Our architectural audit team, working in consultation with certified stone conservation practitioners, conducts an annual structural survey of Saint-Denis Church. The 2025–2026 audit established the following empirical observations:

• North Nave Masonry: Following the completion of Phase II lime mortar repointing, core masonry humidity dropped by 18% compared to baseline readings taken in 2023. The elimination of impermeable cement patches has allowed wall moisture to evaporate naturally, preventing the recurrence of sub-surface salt crystallization (efflorescence).
• Belfry & Timber Roof Trusses: Ultrasonic wood testing of the sixteenth-century oak tie-beams revealed sound structural integrity across 92% of the examined members. Localized surface beetle remediation was successfully applied using non-toxic ecological borate salts, averting the need for structural beam replacements.
• Rainwater Infiltration: Inspection of the perimeter gravel drainage trench confirmed that rainwater runoff is effectively channeled away from the foundation footings, with zero pooling observed during heavy autumn storms.

Social Return & Ecological Conservation Standards

Beyond physical masonry, our public interest mission generates significant social and ecological return for the community of Serazereux:

Social Cohesion & Combating Rural Isolation: In rural communes where commercial amenities may be limited, our volunteer field mornings provide a vital social hub. Community members of diverse ages and professional backgrounds work side-by-side, sharing lunch, exchanging knowledge, and strengthening neighborly bonds. Post-event surveys indicate that 94% of participants reported a heightened sense of belonging to the village community.

Ecological Footprint & Carbon Neutrality: Our restoration methodology is intentionally low-carbon. We source building sand from regional pits within 25 kilometers of Serazereux, utilize natural hydraulic lime produced in France with minimal transport emissions, and recycle 100% of sound original stones salvaged during repairs. Fieldwork relies primarily on manual hand tools (mallets, chisels, pointing trowels) rather than heavy carbon-intensive machinery, minimizing environmental disturbance to surrounding village ecosystems.

Multi-Year Impact Trajectory & 2026–2030 Projections

Heritage preservation produces compounding civic benefits over time. A stone church repaired with breathable lime mortar will resist weather degradation for a century, eliminating the recurring emergency costs that plague deferred maintenance structures. By investing volunteer dedication and targeted public subsidies today, our association prevents catastrophic structural failures that would otherwise require multi-million euro public interventions in future decades.

Looking ahead to our 2026–2030 planning cycle, our impact trajectory models the complete stabilization of all south-facing church lancets, the restoration of the remaining three historic village calvaries along the Chemin des Vignes, and the integration of a permanent digital educational kiosk inside the narthex of Saint-Denis Church. Each phase of this trajectory is tied directly to verifiable public milestones, ensuring that the Municipal Council of Serazereux and the residents we serve can continuously assess the return on their civic trust.

Our audit framework also tracks accessibility enhancements. In the coming year, our volunteers will construct a reversible, non-invasive timber access ramp conforming to statutory accessibility norms, enabling elderly residents and visitors with limited mobility to enter the church without impediment. By removing physical barriers, we reaffirm that historic heritage belongs to all members of our society equally.
