BUSBRIDGE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED AT 31 DECEMBER 2022

Introduction

The PCC members, who are also the charity’s trustees, submit their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK & Republic of Ireland, FRS102 second edition, and the Charities Act 2011.

Governing Document

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Busbridge (PCC) was registered with the Charity Commission on 27th February 2009 and its governing document is the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure (1956) and under this measure the PCC has the responsibility of “co-operation with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical”. It is also responsible for the maintenance of Busbridge Church and other parish buildings.

Objectives, Activities and Public Benefit

The mission of Busbridge Church is expressed as “Loving God”, “Making Disciples” and “Transforming Communities”. Specific objectives in support to that mission are:

The PCC is aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in “The advancement of religion for the Public Benefit” and has regard to it in their administration of the church.

The PCC believes that by promoting the Christian faith it provides a benefit to the public by:

  1. Providing facilities for public worship, building community, pastoral care and spiritual development, both for existing church members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers.

  2. Promoting Christian values, and service by members of the church in and to their community, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Achievements and Performance

The number of people on the electoral roll as at 31 December 2022 was 240 (2021: 231). During 2022, church activities returned to a more normal pattern following the disruption from Covid-19 in the previous two years, with associated church closures and restrictions on gathering in person. For 2022, average weekly attendance was 115 adults and 30 children (under 16) (2021: 90 adults and 35 children).

BUSBRIDGE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL REPORT

OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED AT 31 DECEMBER 2022 (continued)

Achievements and Performance (continued)

The start of 2022 was disrupted by the Omicron variant of Covid-19, but from February onwards activities increasingly returned to normal and in person church attendance was on a growing trend during the year. Most services continued to be livestreamed, and the availability of services to view online at a later date proved particularly popular.

Similarly, Youth and Children’s work increasingly returned to normal during the year. ABC toddler groups took place during the week, and Sunday children’s groups, Pathfinders and Ichthus for teenagers met regularly and some trips away took place.

The Older Person’s Ministry continued to provide very valuable pastoral support with hearing aid clinics and social activities throughout the year.

The church continued to use volunteers to support activities as much as possible, although it has proved more difficult to attract volunteers following the Covid disruption. In particular, volunteers continued to be active in providing pastoral support, organising small group and children’s activities, leading worship and providing technical support.

In March 2022, the Yew Tree Café opened in the former Church Centre building, as part of the church’s outreach to the wider community, involving the employment of a full time manager and two part-time assistant managers as well as around 20 volunteers. During the first few months of operation revenue grew steadily, before stabilising at around £6,000 per month. At that level, it is broadly covering ongoing operating costs, although PCC has budgeted for a small deficit each year.

In August 2022 we welcomed a new Director of Children and Youth, Ben Barnes, replacing Anto Ficatier who had left in June 2022.

The church supported various organisations with grants during the year as detailed in Note 11. Total grants to organisations in 2022 totalled £16,978 (2021: £21,352). Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the remit of the Church Family Support Fund was expanded to provide support to Ukrainian families seeking refuge in the UK. Total CFSF grants to individuals in 2022 totalled £7,650 (2021: £4,870).

Elected lay members of the PCC hold office for three years and are eligible to stand for a second three-year term after which they are required to take a one year break before standing again.

Training of Trustees Policy

New PCC members receive written information on the work of the PCC and their responsibilities as members. Training is tailored to individual needs depending on the experience of the individual involved.

Summary of Results, Achievements and Financial Review

INCOMING RESOURCES

Total income for the year was £609,101 (2021: £487,104).

Total unrestricted income amounted to £505,773 (2021: £425,189), the majority of which related to planned giving, which including gift aid was £271,988 (2021: £270,457). Also included is a grant of £30,000 from Guildford Diocese to further the Minster project in 2023.

RESOURCES USED

Total resources expended for the year was £665,786 (2021: £572,672), of which £486,299 (2021: £452,889) was from unrestricted funds, with parish share, £109,330 (2021: £108,111) being the highest single cost.

Total employment costs, including social security and pension contributions totalled £166,580 (2021: £151,406). New Café paid staff costs were partly balanced by lower costs due to vacancies in Youth and Word and Worship.

UNRESTRICTED FUNDS

At year end unrestricted funds were £326,065 (2021: £312,542).

Further details of all Unrestricted Funds can be found in note 23 on page 32.

RESTRICTED FUNDS

At the year end restricted funds were £3,463,746 (2021: £3,440,973).

Further details of all Restricted Funds can be found in note 22 on page 30.

FUTURE PLANS

In July 2022, PCC made a significant decision (in line with similar decisions of the trustees of Hambledon PCC and Godalming PCC) to work towards a merger of the 3 parishes with effect from 1[st] January 2024. The move is fully supported by the Diocese of Guildford. The decision was endorsed by an Extraordinary Parochial Church Meeting in October 2022. The intention is that the process to put the planned merger into effect will be completed during 2023, with the assets and liabilities of Hambledon and Godalming being transferred to Busbridge PCC on 1[st] January 2024. Busbridge PCC would then be renamed Godalming Minster.

During 2023, Busbridge church intends to continue its mission and ministry to the local community with a similar range of Sunday services and other activities as currently.

RISK POLICY

The PCC recognises its responsibilities for managing risk. There are risk assessment protocols in place for all church activities on and off site. The PCC maintains a formal Risk Register, which is reviewed on an annual basis. The principal risks and uncertainties identified relate to (a) loss of income if voluntary giving were to fall substantially and (b) dissatisfaction of key employees or volunteers. These risks are actively managed in line with the risk register.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity and the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, some of which are designated for specific purposes. The aim is to hold sufficient unrestricted funds to meet the unrestricted expenses of the PCC for at least six months in case of a substantial fall in income - this is felt to be approximately £200,000 on an ongoing basis. The status of unrestricted reserves and decisions regarding those designated for specific purposes are reviewed annually by PCC, normally as part of the budget setting process for the following year. The present higher level of unrestricted reserves is felt to be reasonable on account of the planned merger with Godalming and Hambledon parishes.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The PCC has a policy of holding shares in the CBF Church of England Investment Fund to obtain a higher longterm return than available from a standard deposit account, provided that at least £150,000 is retained in immediate access accounts paying little or no interest. In addition, the PCC holds the Investment Properties as detailed in Note 15.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BUSBRIDGE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Busbridge (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash flow and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 9

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BUSBRIDGE (continued)

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 7, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councils website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Page 10

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BUSBRIDGE

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below .

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charity.

Our approach was as follows:

Page 11

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BUSBRIDGE (continued)

To address the risk of fraud through management override we:

In response to the classification of income and expenditure between restricted and unrestricted we:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charity and charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

BUSBRIDGE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of Preparation

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), and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investment properties and current asset investments which are included at market value.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency, and amounts have been rounded to the nearest pound.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102 and is unincorporated.

1.2 Going Concern

The PCC has assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and has considered possible events or circumstances that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. Particularly on account of voluntary giving continuing largely unchanged from previous years, the available reserves and the ability to manage expenditure in line with any future variation in income, the going concern basis is still considered appropriate. In addition, considering the potential merger with the parishes of Godalming and Hambledon within the next 12 months, the PCC has also considered the financial position and future plans of those parishes and determined that the merger does not affect the appropriateness of the going concern basis.

1.3 Income

Receipt of a legacy, in whole or part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Page 16

BUSBRIDGE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) AT 31 DECEMBER 2022

1.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.4 Resources Expended

All expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis inclusive of VAT.

1.5 Corporation Tax

The charity is exempt from corporation tax according to schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011.

1.6

Support Costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to raising funds or charitable activities. These costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly whilst others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

1.7

Donated Services and Goods

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

In accordance with the Charities SORP, the services of volunteers are not reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities as their donated time is not quantifiable.

1.8 Fixed Assets

Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property is not reported within these financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. No cost or value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the church wardens on trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers them to be inalienable property. All expenditure on consecrated buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Freehold properties

Freehold properties held for use by the PCC with a value linked loan are stated at deemed cost. The Trustees deem the residual value to be at least equal to cost. Therefore, no depreciation is charged.

Other freehold properties held for use by the PCC are stated at cost. The non-land cost is depreciated over 10 years on a straight line basis.

Page 17

BUSBRIDGE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) AT 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.8 Fixed Assets (cont.)

Office equipment and fixtures and fittings

Individual items with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off on purchase.

Office equipment used by the PCC, and fixtures and fittings in its properties, are depreciated so as to spread the cost of each asset, less its estimated residual value, over its expected useful life of 4 years.

1.9 Investment Properties

All Investment properties are included in the accounts on an open market basis as estimated by the trustees.

Unrealised gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.10 Stock

Stock is trading stock held by the Café and is recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.11 Debtors

Other debtors are recorded at settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amounts prepaid at the balance sheet date.

1.12 Current Asset Investments

Investments are recognised initially at cost, which is the transaction price less transaction costs. Subsequently, the investments are included at closing mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.13 Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.14 Creditors

Trade and other creditors are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from past events and can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at their settlement amounts.

1.15 Public Benefit Concessionary Loans

Interest free loans were generously provided by some church members to facilitate the Old Rectory project. These loans have not been discounted per FRS 102 section 13 and 14.

1.16 Financial Instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.17 Pensions

The PCC operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are payable. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the PCC in an independently administered fund. The pension charge represents the amounts payable to the scheme in respect of that year.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.18 Funds

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and that are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC. They include Designated Funds earmarked by the PCC for a particular purpose. The PCC has five Designated Funds (2021 – three); the Operational Reserve Fund, The Bridge (magazine) Fund, the Nexus Fund, the Yew Tree Café Fund and the Minster Fund. Note 23 describes the funds and their purposes.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are funds of the PCC that are subject to restrictions on their use imposed by the donor, that is, they are funds given for a specific purpose and the PCC cannot use them to meet its general purposes. Note 22 describes the funds and their purposes. The balance on the restricted funds for capital items at the year end is at least equal to the net book value in the accounts.

2. JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Determination of values of investment property

The trustees review the valuation of each of the investment properties at the end of each year based on their knowledge of the market and house sales in and around the year from internet research. If the trustees’ valuation is inaccurate then the valuation of investment property in the financial statements will be misstated. The valuation basis of each property is described in Note 15.

Freehold Properties

The property at 14 Phillips Close was purchased in 1991 for occupation by assistant clergy for £102,000 plus incidental costs with assistance of a value linked loan of £102,000 from the Church Commissioners. In 2016 the church adopted FRS102 and therefore began to carry 14 Philips Close at a deemed cost of £440,000. The value linked loan is repayable either when the house is sold or ceases to be occupied by a licensed person. The terms of the value linked loan are such that the amount due to the Church Commissioners represents a fixed percentage of 100% of the value of the property. Interest is charged by the Church Commissioners at 3% per annum on the amount originally borrowed, the rate rising annually in line with increases in the retail price index and in 2022 was 7.3%. For 2022 the total interest paid on this value linked loan was £7,443.

The freehold properties are held within the Restricted Property Fund.
