## **Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fabric Report** 

We eventually received the 2024 Quinquennial Reports for the Fladbury and Cropthorne churches from our former Church Architect in Spring 2025. This resulted in a specialist's report on the roadside boundary wall at Cropthorne being commissioned together with enquiries instigated concerning the required repairs to the main slate roof and to the central heating at Cropthorne church. Investigation works were also commissioned in regard to the damp ingress at the rear of the nave at Fladbury church culminating in a specialist's report being received at the end of the year. The progress of these major items of work has been greatly helped by the employment of our new Church Architect, John Middleton. Other minor maintenance works to all 5 churches have been completed during the course of the year.

## **Safeguarding Responsibilities** 

APCM Report Safeguarding Responsibilities 2025-2026 

The PCC is aware of and is committed to its duty to comply with the House of Bishops' Safeguarding Guidance and Safeguarding Code of Practice. This can be found in the Safeguarding e-manual on the C of E website. A Parish Safeguarding Toolkit is also in development, replacing the Parish Safeguarding Handbook. 

The PCC follows the Church of England guidance on Promoting a Safer Church, Safer Recruitment and People Management, Social Media guidelines, and has policies in place for Safeguarding, Recruitment of Ex-offenders, and DBS application handling and storage. In 2024 simple guidance for lone working and visiting was approved and adopted for use in the parish by the PCC. 

We continue to use the dashboard to monitor our compliance with all parish safeguarding requirements and to assess our progress. Several role descriptors and risk assessments for Church activities were completed and approved by PCC in 2024 and 2025 and we continue to monitor our activity. Changes are continually being made in section requirements as policies and documents are reviewed and updated, and as the Dashboard is restructured under the new National Safeguarding Standards. In 2025, we registered and signed up to use the dashboard Safeguarding Hub. 

Churchwardens and anyone working with children and vulnerable adults are appointed using the Safer Recruitment guidance and Disclosure and Barring Service, and along with PCC members, undertake appropriate safeguarding training which is refreshed every three years. 

DBS applications in 2025: 

5 DBS applications were renewed in 2025 5 new DBS applications were completed in 2025 Training in 2025: 

4 Basic awareness online courses were completed 

6 Foundation online courses were completed 

1 Leadership online and zoom course was completed 

1 Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse course was completed 

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. Safeguarding posters are displayed at every church with useful local contact details and national helplines. A landline number Tel. 01905 732800 is also now available as a single point of contact for the Diocesan Safeguarding team regarding any safeguarding concerns and can be reported using the online form on the safeguarding page of the diocesan website. 

Diocesan Safeguarding Audit: 

The final report of the independent audit carried out by INEQUE was published in October 2024. It highlighted good practice and commended a solid foundation for a safeguarding culture that prioritises the well-being of individuals and fosters a safer environment for everyone. A number of recommendations were made which are being followed up in the diocese and in parishes.

## **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 2025** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

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

There were 71 parishioners on the Parish Electoral Roll in 2025. 

The average attendance in churches across the parish when services were held was 35. 

## Charitable fundraising 

Special Collections and Funeral Collections £4,183 

(CentrePoint, Brain Tumour, RNIB, Pershore Wellbeing, Christian Aid, Farming Community Network) 

## Sub group financial contributions 

Contributions from the Cropthorne and Fladbury Walkabouts and the Charlton Fair the Parish amounted to £17,657 (2024 - £11,770) with a further £2,000 being donated towards the cost of the proposed toilet in Cropthorne church,. Statutory and other fees earned from weddings and funerals amounted to £7,421 (2024 -  £11,223) 

Other Fundraising activities raised £5,902 (2024 - £4,919) from the Fladbury Prom concert, cake sales, quizzes and other collections for various Church Funds. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Parish had a surplus of income over expenditure before investment revaluations of £7,814 (2024 - £15,032 surplus) but yet again it should be noted that it did not pay its Ministry Share in full. We were able to contribute £51,996 (2024 - £51,996) by way of Ministry Share out of the £80,526 which the Diocese originally requested. Our Parish Share for 2026 will be £81,734 (an increase of £1,208). Ministry Share is paid out of the Parish's General Fund which at the end of the year stood in deficit at £1,397 (2024 - £4,368 surplus). Affordability and the impact it may have on clergy resourcing is still a major concern. 

The surplus was mainly due to increases in 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 £27,268 (2024 - £28,345). The increase in surplus was principally due, on the income side to the increase in Walkabout donations (£7,887) which more than offset the reduction in wedding and funeral fees (£3,372), and on the expenditure side to a reduction in major and minor repairs (£9,406) despite an increase in insurance costs (£2,754) and churchyard maintenance (£7,025). 

Our investment funds performed in line with the stock markets, and closed at £268,664 (2024 - £279,852), a decrease in value of £11,188. We remain satisfied that these funds are invested in the right place as we received an income of £7,776 (2024 - £7,594) 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 decreased slightly to £53,245 (2024 - £55,834). We thank everyone who continues to respond to our appeal for support and are looking at ways to increase this further. 

Looking at 2026, 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 6 



## **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 2025** 

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. 

There are 49 regular donors (2024 - 50) of whom 33 donate via 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 £100,625 in hand of which £84,697 is held at CAF Bank on behalf of the restricted funds. Our day to day banking is with Lloyds Bank which has now introduced charges for charity accounts. I reiterate my plea for donors to consider moving from using the envelopes for cash or cheques and instead to 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 2025 the total net value of our funds stood at £367,693 (2024 - £371,068) We have the following in Church specific Fabric funds 

£42,486 (2024 - £43,231) for St. Anne (Wyre Piddle) £2,459 (2024 - £1,984) for St. John the Evangelist (Charlton) £96,043 (2024 - £90,098) for St. Michael (Cropthorne) £26,914 (2024 - £23,641) for St. John the Baptist (Fladbury) £3,872 (2024 - £2,623) for St. Thomas (Lower Moor) 

## **Associated Charities and Funds** 

The Eleanor Gange Trust (an endowment fund) is now valued at £67,513 (2024 - £70,324). It raised £1,954 (2024 - £1,908) 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 £3,700 in the year and this has enabled the Fund to cover its day to day costs in the year. As noted in last year's report, the receipt of a very generous donation enabled urgent work to be done in the Churchyard in 2025 with the felling of 2 trees which had been deemed a hazard to the adjoining school property at a cost of just over £6,000. 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 £80,526 we were asked for. This represents 65% achievement. We are intending to maintain our level of contribution in 2026.

## **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 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. 

## **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 both Andrew Hughes and John Allsop for their contribution to the Finance team. Andrew 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 whilst John is our Gift Aid Officer responsible for the timely recovery of funds from HMRC via the Gift Aid scheme. 

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 2025. 

## **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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

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

## **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. 

## **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** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
