TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
Objects of the charity
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:
-
a) To promote community health across the UK by funding and training Parish Nurses, and supporting their education.
-
b) To advance the Christian faith in the UK by promoting Parish Nursing and supporting the establishment and training of Parish Nurse initiatives.
-
c) To support specific overseas Parish Nursing initiatives.
Summary of the charity’s main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
- a) Funding, training and supporting Parish Nurse education
The Parish Nursing Ministries UK (PNMUK) Lead Educator continued to develop and deliver essential courses to a high standard, supported by an experienced team of educators and regional nurse coordinators. Two Preparation for Parish Nursing Practice courses were completed by 14 nurses, and two Parish Nurse Assistants’ courses were completed by 5 Parish Nurse Assistants. Looking forward, a refresher course for longstanding Parish Nurses will be piloted in 2025 for those wishing to update themselves on the latest curriculum. Grant funding from The Hinchley Charitable Trust, with match funding from other charitable trusts and foundations, ensured we were able to meet our education objectives.
Sixty-eight Parish Nurses, staff members, Trustees and visiting speakers gathered for the PNMUK Annual Symposium in September 2024. All benefited from Continued Professional Development, times of worship, fellowship and encouragement, as well as key networking opportunities.
Partnership webinar events continued to equip Parish Nurses and evaluate well. Topics were chosen after feedback from Parish Nurses at the annual symposium and from emerging themes in Communities of Practice. Listening to their needs ensures efficacy in the use of resources and relevance to their practice. Over the year, the following sessions were offered:
-
Safeguarding and Legal issues in Parish Nursing practice (delivered by a PNMUK employee, who is also a parish nurse and the safeguarding trainer for the Central Baptist Association)
-
Loneliness and mental health (delivered by Linking Lives)
-
Palliative care (delivered by Christians in Care)
-
Managing the unexpected in Parish Nursing ministry (delivered by a PNMUK employee)
-
Moving Medicine (delivered by the Active Wellness Research Centre, Sheffield Hallam University)
Training and support costs for Parish Nurses in the year were subsidised by grants from Christian charitable trusts and foundations. The Trustees conducted a partner contribution cost review which resulted in a recommendation for a long overdue inflationary increase in the 2025/26 financial year for all courses and events. In addition, PNMUK will deliver all Preparation for Parish Nursing Practice courses online in 2025/26 to further ensure affordability and accessibility for participants.

b) Supporting the establishment and training of Parish Nurse initiatives
Parish Nursing Ministries UK supported ninety-one partner churches over the year. Support given by the charity included detailed planning assistance, through to setting up and accreditation for new Parish Nursing services, as well as offering ongoing support and re-accreditation for more established services. Church partners’ annual contributions, and payments made for planning services, partfunded the Regional Nurse Co-ordinator posts and expenses. Further dedicated funding for the role of Central Onboarding Co-ordinator ensured that services were well set up through a robust and timely process.
A total of sixty-two individuals attended Explore Online events. These were delivered quarterly for individuals, churches and Christian organisations interested in finding out about Parish Nursing. Thirtyseven churches or Christian organisations were represented, of which ten went on to set up a new Parish Nursing service. Of note is the establishment of the St James Holywell Parish Nursing Service in Wales – this reestablishes Parish Nursing in Wales after a significant period of absence, with the support of funding from the Benefact Trust.
In partnership with the Farming Community Network, health support offered to farmers and farming communities at Stoneleigh and Thrapston Livestock markets continued to be well-received and valued. One hundred and forty people sought health advice from the Parish Nurses present at eight markets over the course of the year. Blood pressure readings were taken, themed health advice was given on topics such as men’s health, skin cancer awareness, hypertension, mental health, alcohol and drug use, and many support conversations took place around recent diagnoses and upcoming medical appointments.
The partnership work between the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, Emmanuel Community Church (Barrow-in-Furness) and PNMUK came to a natural end as the lead Parish Nurse stepped down from Parish Nursing in April 2025, after 10 years of practice. An evaluation of the impact of this partnership project indicated that in this timeframe, 100 patients who were discharged from hospital received support from the Parish Nurse to continue to recover in their home environment, thereby reducing the need for readmission. This early intervention model identified those who were deteriorating after discharge and ensured that swift actions and support were put in place to avoid readmission. Enhanced connection with the community, spiritual connectedness and physical/mental health support were all elements of the success of this work.
c) To support specific overseas Parish Nursing initiatives
The charity continues to implement an active partnership agreement with the Westberg Institute of Faith Community Nursing (Spiritual Care Association, USA). Course curriculum review and implementation, regular networking meetings with Parish Nursing organisations from other countries and contributions to the Annual Westberg Symposium all formed part of our activities under this agreement over the past year. Updates, innovative practices and internationally relevant nursing trends and concerns provided information, encouragement and support throughout the year.
In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the Trustees, who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the charity has been delegated to a senior management team led by Sue Bretherick, CEO. Various sub-committees support the CEO in individual workstreams, drawing on specific expertise within the Board of Trustees. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing Trustees by a majority vote.
Financial Review
During the year, income decreased by £89,549 to £123,347, and expenditure increased by £15,329 to £195,100. The charity’s net assets decreased by £71,752 to £65,761.
Page 3
PNMUK saw an overall decrease in income over the year as a result of the ending of a couple of large grants. All fundraising efforts towards replacing these with similar large grants proved unsuccessful. Donations from charitable trusts, against a challenging fundraising backdrop, were therefore 80% less than the previous year. We maintained a dedicated focus with ongoing fundraising and ended the year with a small increase in individual donations. As we continue to develop as a charity, we are committing to trialling other well-known fundraising initiatives in 2025 and working towards diversifying income streams.
There was a reduction in expenditure as a careful operational response to the reduction in income, which did not affect core delivery. One example was the closure of the physical office and the move to a fully remote organisation.
The Trustees remain grateful to the church partners, individuals and charitable trusts that supported the charity over the course of the year.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £36,103 – £60,172 (which equates to about 3-5 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £56,220 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The Trustees review the charity's activities quarterly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
Responsibilities of Trustees under company law
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going-concern basis unless its is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provision of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
- a) Going concern The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations includes:
Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from courses and symposiums and from Coordinators.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest.
- c) Expenditure Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs incurred on professional fundraising fees.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
- d) Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Tangible fixed assets Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £200 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Equipment Over 5 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2 Accounting Policies (cont.)
f) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
