SAINT GABRIEL'S PARISH HOUSE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
St Gabriel's Parish House Trust was created in 1900 to provide a range of charitable services to the people of the parish of St Gabriel's church, Warwick Square, as set out in the Trust Deed. The Deed creates a functional permanent endowment, which means that the Trust achieves its objects by providing services in and through the Parish House building, which contains a suite of rooms and halls of various sizes, as well as a kitchen, lavatories and a caretaker's flat. The House is based on the Churchill Gardens estate in Pimlico. In 2011, the Charity Commission agreed a Scheme which made the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Gabriel's church the corporate Managing Trustee, and vested Custodian Trusteeship in the London Diocesan Fund (LDF). The members of the Managing Trustee (referred to for convenience as the Trustees in these accounts) work to ensure that the Parish House provides a range of services to the local community in line with the 1900 Deed.
These services include hiring out rooms at charitable rates to a range of organisations with charitable and community objects, including music, theatre and opera companies, and sporting organisations. The income provided by hirings is used to keep the building in good condition, and to pay for the provision of a range of other services at the House. These latter have in recent years included a community service "hub", which delivered in modern form many of the functions outlined in the 1900 Deed, including community advice and a foodbank. Hub services are currently suspended and under review following the interruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, St Gabriel's parish mission is based at and run from the Parish House, including youth work on the local estate. The Mission Priest is also based at the Parish House, as is St Gabriel's Parish Office.
The Trustees have also made the House available available as a base for a range of organisations whose own charitable objects are consistent with those of the Trust. These include the local Scouts, and the Pimlico Musical Foundation (PMF), an independent charity providing musical education to children in the area 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 Trust provides the Foundation with office space at no cost.
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.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy which is to hold a minimum of 6 months' expenditure in order to protect against foreseeable capital, income, and adverse event risks.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is unincorporated and controlled by its governing document which is a Conveyance dated 26 November 1900 as amended by a Scheme dated 6 October 1939 and another Scheme dated 22 November 2011. Under the latter Scheme the London Diocesan Fund is Custodian Trustee and the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish ("the PCC") of St Gabriel's, Warwick Square, Pimlico, which is itself a registered charity (number 1133969) is Managing Trustee. The members of the PCC during the period are set out below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAINT GABRIEL'S PARISH HOUSE TRUST
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Saint Gabriel's Parish House Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Saint Gabriel's Parish House Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
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 consilidation. Therefore, these accounts reflect the finances of St Gabriel's Parish House as a standalone entity.
INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
- Freehold property - 10% on cost
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 available. In the opinion of the trustees, any such sum would be immaterial 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 are capitalised at cost if they are £5,000 or more.

11. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
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. 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 (2020 none).
