## **Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fabric Report** 

We have received in the past few weeks the 2024 Quinquennial Reports for Fladbury and Cropthorne. The additional major electrical repairs at Fladbury and the slate roofing repairs at Cropthorne, both stated as requiring immediate action, have already been completed. The report for the proposed installation of a perimeter soakaway with integral damp proof membrane at Fladbury, strongly supported within the Inspection for Fladbury, should be available within the next few weeks. This will be required to be costed and approved by the PCC prior to being submitted as a Faculty Petition. The other Fabric items that will be requiring attention at Fladbury in the near future are the gutters and downpipes, the roof copings and the insulation and ventilation to the vestry. We will also have to continue to keep close attention to the slate and tiled roofing together with the tower roof at Cropthorne. We still await the Quinquennial reports for both Charlton and Wyre- but I do not foresee any major problems with either church. 

## Patrick Palmer 

## **Safeguarding responsibilities** 

The PCC is aware of and is committed to its duty to have due regard to House of Bishop's guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The PCC uses the Dashboard tool provided in the Diocese for ongoing self-audit to seek to ensure it fulfils that duty. The dashboard monitors compliance and generates a safeguarding action plan which is regularly reviewed by the PCC. 

The PCC follows the Church of England guidance on Promoting a Safer Church, Safer Recruitment and People Management and Social Media guidelines, and has policies in place for Safeguarding, Recruitment of Ex-offenders, and DBS application handling and storage. 

Churchwardens and all those working with children and vulnerable adults are appointed using the Safer Recruitment guidance and Disclosure and Barring Service. The Parish Safeguarding Representative working with the Priest-in-Charge and the PCC oversees the schedule of Safeguarding training required and provided by the diocese for all new and existing individuals who work with children and vulnerable adults. 

The Parish Safeguarding Handbook has been adopted. This encompasses key safeguarding responsibilities along with useful links and practical advice, further supplemented by Safer Environment and Activities practice Guidance issued in October 2019. Hard copies of the Handbook are available in every church and safeguarding posters are displayed with useful contact details. 

The PCC has procedures in place to follow Guidance on Responding to Safeguarding Concerns or Allegations that relate to Children, Young people or Vulnerable Adults and on Responding Well to Domestic Abuse. A referral form for reporting any safeguarding concerns directly is available on the diocesan website with paper copy also available in churches. It is for initial contact and can be sent to the safeguarding team email address for early response. 

The PCC has passed a Delegation Resolution to provide for the responsibility for any safeguarding Serious Incident to be reported to the Charity Commission, to enable scrutiny to confirm appropriate safeguarding procedures and  responses are in place, and for sharing relevant information to protect others.

## **Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW The Treasurer’s Report Church attendance** 

There were 111 parishioners on the Parish Electoral Roll in 2024. 

The average attendance in churches across the parish when services were held was 46. 

## **Charitable fundraising** 

Special Collections and Funeral Collections £1,622 

(Friend of the Holy Land, Acorn Children's Hospital, St Richard's Hospice, Vale of Evesham School, Centrepoint) 

## **Sub group financial contributions** 

Contributions from the Cropthorne and Fladbury Walkabouts and the Charlton Fair the Parish amounted to £11,771 (2023 - £14,325), the reduction being due to a complete washout of the first day of the Fladbury Walkabout. Statutory and other fees earned from weddings and funerals amounted to £11,223 (2023 -  £8,056) 

Other Fundraising activities raised £4,919 (2023 - £4,193) from the Fladbury Prom concert, quizzes and other collections for various Church Funds. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Parish had a surplus of income over expenditure before investment revaluations of £15,030 (2023 - £1,831 surplus) but it should be noted that it did not pay its Ministry Share in full. We were able to contribute £51,996 (2023 -  £54,595) by way of Ministry Share out of the £79,649 which the Diocese originally requested. Our Parish Share for 2025 will be £80,526 (an increase of £877). Ministry Share is paid out of the Parish's General Fund which at the end of the year stood at £4,365 (2023 - £497). Affordability and the impact it may have on clergy resourcing is still a major concern. 

The surplus was mainly due to One-off donations, Statutory fees and the contributions from the various Walkabouts and fund-raising which are however attributed to restricted funds and therefore not available for covering general expenditure. The balance of unrestricted funds at 31 December was £28,345 (2023 - £22,538). The increase in surplus was principally due, on the income side to the increase in one-off donations (£7,577) and Statutory Fees (£3,067) which more than offset the reduction in planned and other giving (£3,671) and Walkabout income (£2,565), and on the expenditure side to a reduction in electricity costs (£3,582), Ministry share (£2,599) and Churchyard maintenance (£3,127) despite an increase in the Fabric maintenance charges (£4,831). 

Our investment funds performed in line with the upturn in the stock markets, and closed at £279,852 (2023 - £273,589), an increase in value of £6,262. We remain satisfied that these funds are invested in the right place as we received an income of £7,594 (2023 - £7,529) from these investments (3% of opening value), which is a satisfactory return compared to percentage incomes available from safe deposits and given that these are invested via the Church Commissioners in Ethical Investments. 

Our core planned giving decrease slightly to £55,834 (2023 - £56,636). We thank everyone who continues to respond to our appeal for support and are looking at ways to increase this further. 

Looking at 2025, we have several areas of known increased cost: Ministry Share, Church Repairs and Churchyard Maintenance. As mentioned in the Fabric report, there are a number of projects for both Fladbury and Cropthorne churches for which costings will be required. It is hoped that there are sufficient funds in both church's fabric funds to pay for this work. 

## **Parish Giving Scheme (PGS)** 

Page 4 



**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE PARISH OF FLADBURY, HILL & MOOR, WYRE PIDDLE CROPTHORNE AND CHARLTON** 

## **Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

We have continued to promote the PGS, sponsored by Worcester Diocese, which enables us to collect regular giving by Direct Debit rather than by Standing Order. It is fully guaranteed under the Direct Debit Guarantee scheme and professionally managed under the control of Gloucester Diocese, and has been introduced successfully in many other Diocese around the country. 

There are many benefits all round with this scheme, including much quicker recovery of Gift Aid, improved cash flow and the opportunity to keep our income inflation linked. 

50 (2023 - 48) of our donors have now moved from Standing Orders to the PGS. If you are not a member of the Parish Giving Scheme, please, please join it and make a regular donation through the scheme. If you are already giving through envelopes or by Standing Order, please consider joining the PGS as it dramatically reduces our workload in Finance and also helps significantly with forecasting our income. 

## **Banking** 

Our cash position is satisfactory with £93,682 in hand of which £73,824 is held at CAF Bank on behalf of the restricted funds. Our day to day banking is with Lloyds Bank which continues to prove us with free banking. As mentioned in previous years, there is a strong momentum within the banks to introduce charges (even for so called free accounts) for any transactions that are not online or computerised and I continue to urge any donors to consider moving from using the envelopes for cash or cheques and instead discuss with our Gift Aid Officer (John Allsop) about going onto the Parish Giving Direct Debit scheme. Additionally, with the closure of bank branches in the area, the paying-in of cash and cheques is becoming ever more problematic. 

## **Financial Summary** 

As at 31 December 2024 the total net value of our funds stood at £371,068 (2023 - £349,776) We have the following in Church specific Fabric funds 

£43,231 (2023 - £41,808) for St. Anne (Wyre Piddle) £1,984 (2023 - £1,483) for St. John the Evangelist (Charlton) £90,098 (2023 - £89,893) for St. Michael (Cropthorne) £23,641 (2023 - £29,015) for St. John the Baptist (Fladbury) £2,623 (2023 - £1,531) for St. Thomas (Lower Moor) 

## **Associated Charities and Funds** 

The Eleanor Gange Trust (an endowment fund) is now valued at £70,324 (2023 - £68,750). It raised £1,908 (2023 - £1,879) in dividends which was all used for Fladbury Churchyard maintenance as required by the Trust. As noted in previous years, the dividend income from the Eleanor Gange trust had been the main source of income for the maintenance of Fladbury Churchyard, but the Churchyard maintenance costs had considerably exceeded this income in the last few years. However, as the result of an appeal made at the end of 2022, regular monthly contributions are being made to the Fladbury Churchyard Maintenance fund and these amounted to just over £3,000 in the year and this has enabled the Fund to cover its costs in the year. Along with a generous donation of £5,000 received in the year in memory of a deceased parishioner, this has enabled money to be made available for essential work on some of the trees in the churchyard which will be carried out in 2025. As a result, the fund stood at £8,620 at 31 December 2024. Last year, it was noted that the Cropthorne Churchyard Fund had only £140 left in it but, as a result of a reduction in costs in the year, it now stands at £1,317. The Eleanor Gange Trust, with the Charities Commission permission, has been attached to the Parish Charity (1127405) and its accounts are no longer published separately. 

## **Parish Share** 

In the year, we paid £51,996 out of the £79,649 we were asked for. This represents 65% achievement. We are intending to maintain our level of contribution in 2025. 

The Diocese is particularly grateful for our contribution, as all parishes were hard put to meet Parish Share this year because of the continuing fall-out from the Pandemic and the loss of income resulting from fewer churchgoers.

## **Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The PCC does not currently have any free undesignated reserves. Should any unrestricted surplus arise in a period, the PCC would designate that such funds be directed to the Fabric Fund, for repair and maintenance purposes. 

## **Investment Policy** 

All of the endowment and some of the restricted funds are held in CBF Church of England Funds. 

Any cash held over and above day to day funding requirements is deposited into the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, from where it can be drawn down as and when necessary. 

## **Thanks** 

I would like to thank Andrew Hughes who does a great job as book-keeper and I am indebted to him for his efforts in ensuring that the accounts are kept up to date. 

I would also like to thank all the other people who contributed to Finance, looking after weddings and funerals, collections, maintenance and fabric works, fund-raising activities and much more.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Fladbury, Hill & Moor, Wyre Piddle Cropthorne and Charlton** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Fladbury, Hill & Moor, Wyre Piddle Cropthorne and Charlton** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Fladbury, Hill & Moor, Wyre Piddle Cropthorne and Charlton (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE PARISH OF FLADBURY, HILL & MOOR, WYRE PIDDLE CROPTHORNE AND CHARLTON** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **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, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the  revaluation of certain assets. 

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Fladbury, Hill and Moor, Wyre Piddle, Cropthorne and Charlton meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Gift aid** 

Income tax recoverable on donations is recognised when the donation is recognised. 

## Investment income 

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. 

Rental income from the letting of Church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. Accruals below £5,000 are not provided for. Expenditure includes any irrecoverable VAT. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources 

## **Raising funds** 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when payable. In the event of any quota remaining unpaid at 31 December, it shall be provided for in the financial statements if a legal or constructive liability exists, if it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the liability, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees's meetings and reimbursed expenses.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

Consecrated land and beneficed property is excluded from the financial statements by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011. 

No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable Church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class                                                        Depreciation method and rate** Freehold land                                                                           No depreciation Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment                             25% reducing balance 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund structure**
