Three names were added and eight removed from the register. The average weekly attendance of adults at Sunday Services is 62 adults. Services on Thursday average 22 adults. 1 THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BINLEY, COVENTRY **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** ## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR** - The full PCC met 9 times during the year and the average attendance was 77%. - Music licences were renewed. - Connect Groups. There are five of these groups with an average membership of 9 people - Family Breakfast Church continues to run on the 2nd Sunday of the month. breakfast is served from 9.00 for the church congregation and those attending the Breakfast Church service. This service is aimed at, and for parents and children together, which contains elements of the service in church along with crafts and activities to help families explore faith together. We are currently looking at “Finding Jesus in the Old Testament” beginning with the story of Abraham. Attendance has remained steady and we now have a core congregation, with numbers varying between about 20-25 adults (including the team) and 16-22 children. - Open Door runs on the 4th Sunday of the month, with the same team as previously. We are following the themes from Breakfast church with different readings to further explore the theme from the previous Breakfast Church. Numbers vary between 10 and 15 children. It is a joy to explore faith with our children and young people and to see their willingness to engage in discussion and share their thoughts. - Creche: As we now have a number of preschool children, a creche now runs alongside Open Door, using the new “children’s” room created by using the partition in the hall. - Baby and Toddler Group. Runs on Monday morning from 9-11.15. The group continues to benefit from the hall improvements, especially from the new heating system, which has made a big difference on cold mornings. We had a large number of children move up to nursery or school in September so numbers dropped a little, however, new members have joined and we have approximately 30 babies and children and their parents/carers. At the end of the summer term in July we were able to give our leavers a children’s bible once more. In December we held a Christmas party for 48 children, which included a short time in church with Jon and James, telling the Christmas story and singing carols/songs. It’s a privilege to serve local families in this way. - School Holiday Activities. As a continued response to the rising cost of living we ran 6 school holiday activities during 2023. In February we held a Lent themed Messy Morning at St Bart’s school, which included crafts and games including pancake making and a Bible story from Jon and James, followed by a hot meal. In the Easter holiday we ran a Holy Week Messy morning, lots of Easter themed activities and again a hot meal. We also held a lunch club in the May half term holiday. Jon and James lead a short time of worship. - We ran a summer lunch club on 3 Tuesdays during the summer holiday, one at the church hall and two at St Bart’s School. Each time there were crafts, games and activities and a hot meal. It was good to meet families from the school as well as families who we know from Breakfast church and the toddler group. There was an average of 30 children. We had a special activity each time, with a beach theme, a visit from alpacas and a bouncy Castle and Slide. This was funded by PCC along with generous donations from the church family. With the dates of the October half term and Christmas holidays, we were not able to run anything at the school but hope to hold activities in 2025 the Easter holiday, May half term and in the summer holiday. - Outlook Group 2024 The Outlook Group have met most months (except July/August). Contact has been made with 60 members, by phone and Christmas cards, including the housebound. We have had a varied programme, with speakers, music groups, lunches, and two coach trips. It has been good for between 30 and 60 people to meet together. New members have been welcomed to the group. - Summer Fête: A fête was held in June. The church was open with floral displays and a “Great Egg Drop Challenge.” There were stalls and games inside and outside the church hall, the weather was fine and the fete was well attended and an enjoyable community occasion. 2 THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BINLEY, COVENTRY **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** ## **FABRIC & FINANCE** - PCC agreed to and paid a Parish share of £55,000 for 2024. - Report on the activities of the Church Hall Committee (CHC) for the period Jan - Dec '24 for the annual report, prepared by Rev’d James Bremner (chair) - Prior to noting the work of the committee during the period noted I would like to thank all those who have served on the CHC and those who have been ‘consulted’ as we have carried out various projects (these many consultants will know who they are!) Thanks also to those who clean the Hall and work in the kitchen on Sundays and at the many events held here. I am very grateful for the devotion to a man/woman and I feel the church should know how many selfless and hidden hours of work has gone into maintaining the building as a solvent church and community venue. There has been much treasure stored up in heaven. - Particular thanks to Andy Gowans who chaired the committee up until April 2024 and to Emily Purcell who has been a long-standing committee member and extraordinary dedicated cleaner of the Hall until very recently. Also to Karen Mayo who has taken over hall bookings from John Owen and is doing a fantastic job. - We aim to meet monthly with the exception of August and December. We did not meet in November 2024 due to difficulties gathering a significant number of committee members for the meeting. - Current CHC: J. Bremner, J. Owen, P. Green, S. and T. Bird, J. and L. Redgrave, and K. Mayo. Key Activity: - Main Hall sprung flooring upkeep in January 2024: sanding down and re-lacquering. - Emergency repairs to the flooring next to the kitchen/stage area including new concrete laid and new vinyl fitted. - From last winter there has been ongoing work regarding animal life in the Hall, and our sightings include mice, possible rats, and squirrels. We have undertaken work to secure the building against incursions yet this is an ongoing task, despite much effort! - Roller Blinds have been fitted in the windows and side door of the Hall. - New external notice board fitted. - New projector acquired and fitted; removal of previous projector and large, defunct wall-mounted speakers. - Karcher Floor Cleaner purchased and a ‘quick guide’ for users produced. - Cold water pipes re-routed which has successfully stopped these freezing when the temperature drops during the winter. - Programme of works (a rolling project) put together to increase efficiency of the work done in the Hall and provide a clear plan going forward. - Pool/ table tennis table acquired (donation) for use at fetes etc… - Upper room clearance and reorganising work; very minor structural work to enable the Radio Club to continue using the building. - New toilet roll holders fitted in all toilets. - New cleaning volunteers were gratefully received alongside those more experienced – training in new equipment given. - Upkeep, investigation, and work on the drainage along the extension completed to aid in stopping flooding through the door in heavy rain. - Finances continue to be stable – thanks to John Owen/treasurer and concert-organiser and Karen on hiring; new 35-day access account opened to benefit from a higher interest rate (accounts attached). - Wi-Fi now in the Hall – use to be lightly monitored to ascertain value for money over 2025. - Various small repair and maintenance jobs completed and resolution of health and safety concerns addressed. - December 2024: Christmas meal joyfully consumed in Toby Carvery! ## **MINISTRY** - Harvest was celebrated at the service on 13th October. Church members gave donations to Coventry Food Bank and give financially throughout the year. - Home Communion is offered by the Home Communion Team. - A lent course was led by Rev. Jon Taylor and was well attended by members of the congregation at both morning and evening sessions. - An Annual Service of Remembrance was held in November. - An Alpha course was run during the Autumn and was well attended with 24 participants. 3 ## THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BINLEY, COVENTRY **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** ## **MISSION** - Mission and Outreach group has ensured that relevant posters are displayed on the external notice boards and in the church hall and has planned the Fete, Christmas Tree Festival, Christingle, Light Party and the Lunch Clubs. Archway is available as an online article on the website three times per year. - Light Party. As an alternative to ‘trick or treat’ on Halloween and to share the Light of Christ with our community, on 31st October 2024 we decorated the outside of the church building and drive with lights and left sweets and treats for children to collect. The side entrance to the church hall was used to serve hotdogs, hot chocolate and other refreshments. The main hall was turned into a light disco with lights, music, glow sticks and balloons, while the partition allowed us to create a space for craft activities. The event was very well attended and very much enjoyed by a good mix of local families and church members. - At the beginning of November the Church Hall was opened to provide a warm space Community Café. The café is open to all from 11.00am to 1.00pm every Thursday, offering hot drinks, some hot food and cake on a donation basis (if able). It will run until the end of February. - Christmas Tree Festival. The Christmas Tree Festival was held again in December 2024, based on the Church of England’s Christmas material “Follow the Star. Calm and Bright”. Trees were decorated taking inspiration from the words of Silent Night by church run groups, Brownies, St Bartholomew’s and Clifford Bridge Primary Schools. The church was open for visitors with stalls and refreshments in the church hall from 2-4.30pm, followed by carol singing in church at 4.30. Attendance was good with everyone enjoying how lovely the church looked. It was good to have our magnificent lit star once again shining out across the field to the Binley Road. Many thanks once again to Andy and Beth. - The Christingle service took place on Christmas eve at 3.30pm. This was held in aid of the Children’s Society. The service began in the hall making a Christingle. Refreshments were served before a lovely service in church with readings and carols (some by the light of the Christingles and candles). This service was extremely well attended by local families, with approximately 60 children making Christingles it was wonderful to see so many people on Christmas Eve. - Christmas Gift Bags. Bags containing chocolates, biscuits, Christmas crackers and other festive treats, along with a £25 supermarket voucher were given to 15 families identified by St Bartholomew’s School. The bags were funded by very generous donations from the church congregation, topped up by PCC. - A Carol Service was held for 62nd Scout Group, Clifford Bridge Academy and St. Bartholomew’s C of E Academy. ## **SOCIAL ACTIVITIES** - A Successful Summer Fête was held in June. - Afternoon Tea was held in May. - A Barn Dance with ceilidh band Splarradash took place in July. - A craft fair took place in November. - Four music concerts were held, Gigspanner in May, Flossie Malavialle in September, Generation Band in November and Rob Halligan and Homeward Hie in December. ## **SAFEGUARDING** The PCC takes safeguarding very seriously, recognising that it is the responsibility of all church members to be aware of potential issues, and that procedures cover both children and vulnerable adults. On behalf of the church, the PSO keeps the Parish Dashboard and the Safeguarding Hub up to date, this ensures that church volunteers are recruited according to the Safer Recruitment and People Management Process and that they are up to date with DBS and training requirements. The PSO also ensures there is safeguarding information displayed in the church and church hall which includes guidance and relevant telephone numbers 4 ## THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BINLEY, COVENTRY **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The income of the Church arises principally from voluntary donations by members. Total incoming resources for the year, as shown on page 7, amounted to £104,908 made up of £668 from funds restricted for purposes specified by the donors and £104,240 of funds for use at the Church's discretion. The reserves policy of the trustees is to maintain sufficient funds for the ongoing activities of the Church. The normal fluctuations in income and expenditure indicate reserves for this purpose equal to the 3 months of the unrestricted resources expended, which equates to approximately £24,000. Unrestricted funds at 31 December 2024 are greater than this amounting to £47,737. The trustees are monitoring the financial situation. ## **On behalf of the Council** ## **Rev. Jonathan Taylor** 5 THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BINLEY, COVENTRY ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** I report on the Financial Statements of the Parochial Church of St Bartholomew, Binley, Coventry, for the year ended 31 December 2024, set out on the following pages. ## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PCC AND EXAMINER** The members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements.

The charity registration number and registered address are shown on page 1 of the annual report and financial statements. ## **Basis of preparation of Financial Statements** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or at transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued 2019,Church Accounting Regulations and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared to give 'a true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required toprovide a' true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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(FRS102) issued 2019. The accounts are presented in sterling rounded to the nearest pound. The PCC constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. ## (b) **Funds** General Funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted Funds represent resources received and allocated according to limitation on their use specified by donors or other providers. Further details of restricted are shown in notes to the accounts. The accounts include all the transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members. (c) **Going Concern** The PCC considered it appropriate to prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis. The going concern basis presumes that St.Bartholomew Church has adequate resources to remain in operation, and that the PCC intend it to do so, for at least one year from the date the Financial Statements are signed. (d) **Donations Legacies and Charitable Activities** Income is recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement , the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Income raised from fund-raising events is accounted for gross. ## **Income from Investments** Dividends are accounted for when receivable. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year. Interest entitlements are accrued on a daily basis. ## **Other Income** Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 9 THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH OF ST BARTHOLOMEW BINLEY COVENTRY ## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2024 - continued** ## (e) **Expenditure** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Irrecoverable VAT is charged with relevant expenditure. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity The parish share is accounted for when payable. Any share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. ## (f) **Fixed Assets** Consecrated property and movable church furnishings Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. These have not been disclosed in the PCC balance sheet as the true valuation of assets needs further consideration by the PCC. ## (g) **Current assets** Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December for fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors. Cash at bank is held on current and deposit account at short maturity of seven days. ## (h) **Liabilities: amounts falling due within one year** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the PCC to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Deferred income relates to deposits received in advance - (i) **Financial Instruments** The PCC only had financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.

-||||| Parish Church Council General funds held by the PCC for handling regular church receipt and payment matters. PCC restricted funds includes funds raised for the Kitchen refurbishment project Church Hall Funds held separately for ease of administration only held by the Church Hall Committee to deal with hire fees receivable and regular hall expenses. Noted that these funds can be used without restriction by the PCC. World Mission Funds allocated to the sub-committee for World Mission to determine distribution. ## **11 Fixed Assets** These have not been disclosed in the PCC balance sheet as the true valuation of assets needs further consideration by the PCC. Church Hall - Building Cost unknown, replacement value for insurance purposes £655,000. Church Hall - Contents, Church hall equipment/improvements have been written off in the year of purchase. Although there is considerable value in property controlled by the PCC it should be recognised that these market values could not be realised, as the assets are essential to the workings of the Parish, and if disposed of would need to be replaced at an equivalent cost. Other furniture, fixtures and fittings, church office equipment/churchyard equipment have been written off in the corresponding year of purchase. 12 THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH OF ST BARTHOLOMEW BINLEY COVENTRY ## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)** ## **OTHER DISCLOSURES (continued)** ## **12 Charitable Commitments** There were outstanding charitable commitments of £nil (2023 - £nil). ## **13 Capital Commitments** At the year end there were capital commitments not provided in the accounts of £nil (2023 - £nil). ## **14 Independent Examiners Remuneration** The provision for the Independent Examiner's Remuneration totalled £1,010 (2023 - £950). ## **15 Related Party Transactions** A related party transaction is one where the Church has a relationship with another party or individual which might inhibit it from pursuing its own separate interests.
