Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31st December 2023
Charty registration numbor (if applicable): 1128061
Objectives and Activities
The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefft in
The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefft and have had regard to it in their
administration of the Charity. The trustees bdieve that, by promottng the work of the Church
of England in the Ecd8siastiGal Parish of Womboume it helps to prorTr)te the whole mission
of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, S￿al and ecumenical) more effectively, within the
E¢desiasts"cal Parish. and that in doing so rt prowdes a ￿nefit to the public by:
Providing faciltlies for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual
development, t*)th for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefft from what the
Church offers.. and
Promoting Christian values and Servi￿ by members of the Church in and to their
communities, to the benefit of individuals and sow as a whole.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our thurch and
to become part of our parish communty at wOmb￿Jme. The PCC maintains an overview of
worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on hc>w our services can inV￿Ve the
many groups that live within our parish. Our sep11￿8 and worship put faAth into practi
through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament
Achievements and Performance
The PCC is committed through its Mission Statement and ackni planning to maintaining the
churches of St Ben￿jict Biscop and the Venerable B&Je as pla￿ fft for worship and providing
outreach to the local communty. The heafth and fLrture growth of the charity relies on
supporters and volunteers and their contribution is key to the deliverabilty of the chaiity's
objectives both now and in the future.
Financial Review
The PCC 4reed a budget for 2023 where unrestricted income and expendtture were broadly
in balan￿. At the end of 2023 actual unrestricled income was £153.183 (£154,243 in 2022}
and unrestricted expenditure £157,173 {£161.593 in 2022) leading to a decrease in the level
of unrestricted resources of £3.990 compared to the previous year. The financial position at
the end of 2023, in respect of unrestricted funds. was therefore below the expectations of the
PCC as set out in the original bLKJget.
The levels of unrestrirted income and exFtnditure both decreased from the previous year . by
£1.060 and £4,420 resFeCti¥Ely. The PCC decision to redu￿ the dergy deployment from 1.3
posts to 1.0 post is fully reftected in Ihe ￿OUnts WKI red(M%d the Common Fund expenditure

by £9.503 compared with the previous year Other areas of expenditure increased which
partially offset the financial benefft of this signthcant reduction.
Unrestricted income. overall. was below the bUdget￿j level with income from collections,
regular giving, reclaimed grft aid. fund ra&ng and trading activities falling from 2022 figures.
Other one off or non-regular giwng, however, increased signfficarrtly with. the levels of income
from, weddings and funerals. and the hire of the Bede at s"milar levels to the previous year.
Unrestricted expenditure was. overall. below the b￿geted level desixte increases in running
sts which increased from 2022. The rise in the costs of gas and electsiaty had less of
finanoal impact than anticipated due to the tiffely entering into of a new fixed price energy
contr* in September and prckactive energy mana3effEnt in both churches. The ￿ntrollIng
of exFerKJiture below budgeted figures. Ythere possible. is a necessary m￿'gatIOn to shortfalls
in income The PCC wll need to enter into a new energy contr&X in September 2024 and
prices will continue to b8 Imp￿ted by mathet volatility.
The overall level of funds held by the PCC decreased to £103,283 in 2023. down from
£108,006 in 2022. Unrestricted funds dec¥eased by £3,990 and restrided funds by £733
The PCC wa5 extremely grateful for a large d(￿atIOn that was received to fund the
improvements of the toilets at the Bede which now ￿lI[tate their use by persons with
disabilities.
The PCC is very grateful for the ongoing posittve support and commitffent of the wngregation
through stewardship and fundraising activities
The PCC has seen falls in its unrestrided funds in e￿h of the last tsyo years arTrd this trend,
though currently funda￿e, needs to be addressed through raising income andlor cuth.ng
experKliture. Continuing falls in regular giving which is the largest source of income to the PCC
are of particular ￿n￿rn.
Incon￿ and expenditure levels need to Le monitored revithved by the PCC in 2024 and
action taken. to ensure that (aearly idenbfiable financial pressures are managed and
appropriate actions taken.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC Wicy tolry to maintain a balan￿ offree reserves (net current assets) which equates
to a minimum figure of £25,000. Reseprfes are hdd to smooth out fluctuatFons in cash flow and
to meet emergencies andlor other needs for funds It is PCC policy to invest restrict&J funding
for major appeals in separate bank a￿nts p￿su1bed for this purpose. This ￿￿1¢Y was last
reviewed and approved by the PCC on the 4 De￿rnber 2023.
At the end of 2023 free reserves rep￿sented by the value of unrestri(*ed net current assets
were £32,435 and conseqLEntly aboNe the minimum level set in the Policy. This is a decrease
of £3.990 from the previous year.
The level of reser¥es has fallen in e￿ of the last two financial years and although still above
the minimum set out in the ReseTh*es Policy this trend will need action to be taken by the PCC
to bring yearly unrestricied income and expenditure into ball￿¢6.
The PCC will need lo continue to monitor this Resep4es Policy in 2024 to ensure that finanoal
risks are effeclively managed.
Safeguarding
The PCC bdieve they have fulfilled their duty under sectton 5 of the Safeguarding and
Clergy Disopline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops. guidano on
safeguarding children and wlnerable ￿ulls).

Fundrdising
The PCC takes its fundraistng resp)nsibiltties seriously is very grateful to all donors-
whether regular or oxasonal- for their support of the churth and thurch events. PCC
supporters are ne￿tr taken for granted. The PCC take full res￿nsibl1rtY for fundraising and
do not use commeraal organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either
by donations. fundraising events, spEoal appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most
grateful.
Volunteers
The PCC is dependent on the sgnfficant number of people from the local community involved
in church actTrwties. The number of adive volunteers and the time that they give to the mission
and ministry of the charity is a key ￿rnponent of the healih and sustainability of the church.
The service provided through L*urch volunteering impacts positi'vely on people's relationship
to the church and to eth other. The PCC greatly values the time and skills generously
provided by vdunteers in support of the church and the chaiity's aims and objectives.
