2004 1.6 not starting

Hi all
HNY
Our 2004 1.6 Coupe won’t start
It’s been stride for 4 weeks through the cold. I’ve recharged the battery on trickle for two days until full( it’s 2 years old and a quality Bosch replacement for the original! )
I notice there’s no power to the radio or electric aerial.
Central locking and alarm packed up 12 months back, so
we lock doors with the key.
Engine has always fired instantly, and with no issues over the 50k miles done in our ownership.
Fuels levels good and fresh
No blown fuses,
Have added to the battery with jump cables from the van.
Appears to be no spark.
I tried today to plug in a code reader but this doesn’t power up either.
Hilts I’m familiar with older vehicles, I don’t know where to start, have cleaned the CPS
Any ideas? Any tips or points most appreciated
