MANAGING TRUSTEE REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACTIVITIES
The charity achieves its objects by means of the provision of space for free or at subsidised rates for charitable users. Additionally, some charitable grant-making is undertaken. These charitable uses of the building, both currently undertaken and proposed, include the following:
-
Support of the Arts – Rehearsals/auditions for theatre, musicals, opera etc.
-
The halls are hired (to appropriate organisations) at charitable rates, in accordance with the Trust Deed. This is the main source of income for the charity.
-
Community/sports use
Community/sports use includes Scouts, community meetings, film club, badminton, tai chi, kung fu, fencing, ballroom dancing, choirs and theatre groups.
- Other parish use
Office space is used by an assistant priest with specific responsibilities towards the local community, as well as for church meetings, choir rehearsals, parish records/general office, administration, copying etc.
Pimlico Advice Hub
During 2020 the Hub supported:
-
A foodbank.
-
Benefits advice
-
Housing advice
-
Surgery space for a local councillor.
It is intended to expand the range of services offered at the Hub.
Pimlico Musical Foundation
The Pimlico Musical Foundation is a separate charity working with children from seven Pimlico Primary Schools supporting their in-house music teaching via weekly in-school teaching and termly concerts. It works in particular to help children whose circumstances exhibit some of the established marks of deprivation. The charity provides the Foundation with office space at no cost.
- Mission – Heaven’s Gate Mission to the Churchill Estate, Pimlico
This was launched in 2019, to grow a daughter Church of St Gabriel’s with a focus on mission and renewal in one of the most deprived area of central London.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The principal public benefit achieved by the Trust is in the furtherance of the Anglican faith and education.

MANAGING TRUSTEE REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity has been active in each of the above areas. However, the Covid-19 pandemic severely restricted the activities of the charity and its hirers. A portion of the surpluses which have been built up to modernise and renovate its principal asset, the parish halls in Pimlico, have been applied to maintain the charity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity’s principal source of income continued to be the revenue arising from the letting of space within the parish halls. However, this was considerably lower in 2020, falling from £244.8k in 2019 to £72.2k. Other sources of income have generally been relatively minor. In 2020, unrestricted grants of £10k were received, whilst in 2019 £30k of restricted grants were received following appeals for the redevelopment of the charity’s hall and facilities. Total income for the year was £90.5k (2019: £283.9k).
Expenditure was marginally higher at £180.9k (2019: £176.5k). The increase was primarily due to a donation of £11.2k to St Gabriel’s PCC (in respect of activities taking place at the Halls) and an increase in building repair costs. The year’s Mission costs increased to £65.k (2019: £58.2k). Offsetting these increases was that Fundraising costs in 2020 were Nil (2019: £11.8k). The net result was a deficit for the year of £90.4k (2019: surplus of £107.4k) none of which (2019: £30k) related to restricted funds.
RESERVES POLICY
At the end of 2020, the charity’s unrestricted reserves stood at £620.1k of which £277.9k was represented by fixed assets. Therefore the “free reserves” of the charity were some £342.2k. It is the general policy of the trustees to hold approximately six months’ budgeted cash expenditure in reserve for unforeseen events, that is, around £90k.
The balance of around £250k is held as a sinking fund and to cover future investment in the buildings as the third phase of the current refurbishment project is contemplated.
PLANS FOR FUTURE
There are no plans to change fundamentally the way in which the charity operates.
A project to develop the parish halls has been planned in consultation with advisers, which received planning permission during 2019. Requests for tenders in respect of the main construction work have been issued. These will form the basis of the projected costs of the development which are likely to exceed £1.2 million. The charity’s own resources are not likely to be sufficient to meet such costs in the near future and the trustees are therefore investigating fundraising options enabling the project to be fully financed.
Subsequent to the year end and the gradual lifting of covid-19 related restrictions, use of the building and consequently the charity’s income has begun to return to more normal levels. It is anticipated that in due course the charity will rebuild the previous level of surplus and that it will be able to return to the redevelopment project.

MANAGING TRUSTEE REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
The global COVID-19 pandemic impacted upon most sectors of society and the economy from the early part of 2020. The main impact for the charity has been the curtailment of public artistic and theatrical performances, which has meant the demand for rehearsal space decreased to virtually nothing, thus severely damaging the charity’s ability to generate income.
The reduction in the level of activities enabled the charity to refocus some of its expenditure and to make some costsavings. As has been seen, the charity is currently generating a deficit. But it is hoped – and is suggested by the early evidence - that with the return of public performances after the COVID lockdowns, the charity’s income generation will recover and that it will return to generating an annual surplus.
The exact financial impact of the pandemic and its timing are difficult to assess with any high level of confidence but the trustees are of the opinion, that the relatively high level of reserves, thanks to previous years of prudent financial management and the accumulation of previous years’ surpluses, mean that they will, with careful financial diligence, be able to meet all of their financial obligations and commitments for the foreseeable future. Thus, they consider that the charity remains a Going Concern.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Managing Trustee Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
Adopt the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the statutory requirements and the provisions of the governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SAINT GABRIEL’S PARISH HOUSE
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Basis of preparation
The accounts are those of the St Gabriel’s Parish House (principal address: St Gabriel’s Parish House, Churchill Gardens, London, SW1V 3AA) as a standalone entity. They have been prepared for the year ended 31 December 2020. Comparative information is provided in respect of the year ended 31 December 2019.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Scope of the accounts
Whilst the PCC (registered charity number 1133969), is the collective trustee of St Gabriel's Parish House these accounts are not consolidated in the results and assets of the PCC on the basis that the PCC is unable to derive direct financial benefit from the assets held by St Gabriel's Parish House. The governing instrument of St Gabriel's Parish House means that, while the PCC is the collective trustee, it has no controlling powers to decide how an asset of St Gabriel's Parish House is used or whether an asset can be sold and funds distributed. Under the Charities SORP where such severe long term restrictions exist, the entity in question can be excluded from consolidation. Therefore, these accounts reflect the finances of St Gabriel's Parish House as a standalone entity.
Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include:
- estimating the economic useful life of tangible fixed assets.
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.
The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The most significant areas of judgement that affect items in the accounts are detailed above. With regard to the next accounting period, the year ending 31 December 2021, the most significant factor likely to affect the financial future of the charity is the uncertainty of the general economic outlook and the potential effect on income levels if there were to be a significant downturn.
Funds
General unrestricted funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the charity. Funds may be designated for a particular purpose by the PCC and are also unrestricted.
Restricted funds are monies received subject to specific conditions imposed by donors, or by the terms of an appeal, as to how they may be used. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of a year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.

SAINT GABRIEL’S PARISH HOUSE
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Income recognition
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate.
In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS102, volunteer time is not recognised.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure recognition and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise expenditure incurred by the charity in raising funds for its charitable purposes.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running and maintaining the parish halls and providing services to its users, and any charitable grants paid.
Charitable grants and donations are made where the trustees consider there is real need following a review of the details of each particular case and comprise single year payments rather than multi-year grants. Grants and donations are included in the statement of financial activities when approved for payment. Provision is made for grants and donations approved but unpaid at the period end.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Expenditure is reported by classifications based on the nature of the cost incurred, rather than by activity, as is permitted for smaller charities under the Charites SORP (FRS102).
Tangible fixed assets
No sum in respect of the original cost of the parish halls is included in the financial statements. The halls became the property of the charity in 1900 and no cost records are now available. In the opinion of the trustees, any such sum would not be material in the context of the overall finances of the charity. This property constitutes a functional permanent endowment.
Additions to fixed assets, including major improvements to the parish halls, costing £5,000 or more are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful lives, as follows:
| ted over their expected useful lives, as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Annual rate | |
| Freehold land | Nil |
| Improvements to freehold property | 10% |
Improvements to freehold property are only depreciated once the asset is brought into use. Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.

SAINT GABRIEL’S PARISH HOUSE
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Deposits for more than three months and up to one year are disclosed as short-term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Cash flow statement
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Charites SORP (FRS102) and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year.

However, much of the charity’s income is chargeable for the purposes of VAT and thus the charity is registered for VAT and charges VAT on outputs and reclaims VAT on inputs as appropriate.

12. CONNECTED CHARITIES
The members of the PCC of St Gabriel’s, Warwick Square, Pimlico, constitute the collective trustee of this charity. The PCC is a separate charity (registered charity number 1133969). During the year ended 31 December 2020, the charity made grants to the PCC amounting to £11,250 (2019: Nil). There were no other transactions between the charities during the year (2019: None).
In addition, the Vicar and one other member of the PCC are trustees of Pimlico Musical Foundation (registered charity number 1163223). The charity permits the Foundation to use office space in its premises free of charge but the estimated value is not considered to be sufficiently material, to either charity, to require any adjustment to the financial statements. In addition, the school work of the charity is carried out under the auspices of the Foundation. Apart from this and the reimbursement of any expenditure incurred by the charity on behalf of the Foundation, there were no transactions between the charities during the year (2019: None).
