2024 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Andrew’s Church, Oxsho�
## Aim and purposes
St Andrew’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also speci�ically responsible for the maintenance of St Andrew’s Church and its ancillary buildings, at Oakshade Road, Oxshott.
## Objec�ves and ac�vi�es
The PCC’s primary objective is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.
Our agreed Vision for St Andrew’s is that we are called to be ‘Followers of Jesus Christ, growing in faith and number and serving the community.’
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public bene�it and the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Our ministry has focussed on worship, prayer, mission, fellowship, discipleship and active engagement and support for the local community. To facilitate these activities, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church and its current associated buildings. During the year, we started the work to refurbish our ancillary buildings; completion of the work, expected in early 2025, will greatly enhance our ability to serve.
## Achievements and performance
## Background
Two major factors during 2024 impacted our achievements during the year.
- In terms of resources, the year started in Vacancy, as our Vicar, the incumbent, retired through illhealth as at 31 December 2023. Without her, and her husband, an Associate Minister here, our mission and achievements were naturally impacted. Throughout 2024, we were very thankful to have the continuing bene�it of Revd Patrick Davies, our Associate Minister with particular focus on Families and Children, who was ‘inducted’ as our new Vicar during the year, on 4 September.
- Also during 2024, we started our long-awaited building work, the major refurbishment of the ancillary buildings around the core church (which had itself been refurbished in 2014). The work started in September 2024 (see ‘Building Your Church’ below), and whilst very welcome, we had to vacate the vestibule, hall, meeting room, of�ices, etc., and �ind alternative venues for our ongoing activities. Although this was well achieved, the energy and resources spent managing this did impact various aspects of church life.
Congratulations to all ministry leaders and the whole church family for pursuing our various ministries despite these constraints, in buildings that were no longer �it for purpose, and latterly in facilities spread around the village.
## Church services
Since May 2022 we have held only a single main service on Sundays, known as ‘St Andrew’s at 10’. This was instituted as we recovered from the disruptions of the Covid pandemic, but the lack of ordained resources has meant we have retained this single service for longer than anticipated.
This single service always includes Holy Communion. Until the building work commenced, we live streamed as many of the services as we could, much appreciated by Esher Manor care home residents and those who could not attend church in person. Children joined the �irst minutes of each service

before going to their own activities, except on the �irst Sunday in each month, when they remained with the main congregation for an all-age service.
Our mid-week traditional said service of Holy Communion, held in church throughout the year despite the building work, is valued by a small but signi�icant number. Baptisms were usually held in a separate 3pm service on a Sunday.
St Andrew’s @4 is a signi�icant addition to our services (see ‘Families, children and young people’ below), and we now also have St Andrew’s @7, a new informal, monthly evening contemporary service.
The annual Memorial Service and the Remembrance Service were held in church in November, with good attendances at both. At Christmas, our festival services were well attended by a signi�icant number of visitors - despite the constraints on capacity in the church, which necessitated us holding three back-to-back, pre-booked Crib Services in succession.
## Life Groups
Our Life Groups continue to be an important part of St Andrew’s, with eight groups meeting weekly or fortnightly in people’s homes around the parish. Unfortunately, some longstanding members moved out of the area and, as a result, total numbers have dropped to about eighty-�ive over the past year.
Once again, studies were a mix of books of the Bible and speci�ic themes, aligned with the sermon series on Sundays, which provided the opportunity for members to delve more deeply into the topics. This led to vibrant discussions which have helped people learn more about the Bible and grow in their faith. Groups also organised social events during the year, and a number of groups participated in the Christian Aid Quiz, held at The Royal Kent School. Our Life Groups provide not only a learning opportunity, but also supportive fellowship and prayer for all the members.
Links between the Life Groups and our Mission Partners (see below) remain strong. Most groups could communicate directly with their Partners, and for those based in the UK, namely A Rocha, B@titude and the Cobham Area Foodbank, they were able to help directly. It was very encouraging to see the relationships develop and to hear �irst-hand the amazing work that our Partners continue to do, often in very challenging circumstances.
## Families, children and young people
We are pleased to have continued to see growth in faith and number with families, children and young people at St Andrew’s during 2024.
On Sunday mornings, our consistent provision of a children’s group has allowed families to �ind a home at the 10am service – and we now welcome around 10-12 children on an average Sunday. During the building work, this group has met in the Library at The Royal Kent School.
Our monthly ‘All Age’ service has become a regular and widely appreciated offer, and has boosted family attendance and involvement on all Sunday mornings.
’ABC’ (Adults, Babies and young Children) continued to grow, meeting each Monday morning during term time, with space for approximately 20 families each week. During the building work, we have used the Oxshott Community Hub.
‘St Andrew’s @4’ has become an established and valued monthly service, designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, but especially those with children of primary-school age and younger. Attendance is usually between 45 and 75, with approximately equal numbers of adults and children.
‘Soul Space’, a group for mums with young children journeying in life and Christian faith together, continued to �lourish, meeting each Friday morning, with a supervised crèche area overseen by experienced volunteers.
At Christmas, our Family Carol Service included contributions from many families and children from our church and wider community and was very popular this year! Due to the building work and limited capacity in the church building, we held three Christmas Eve afternoon services titled ‘On the Night Before Christmas’, allowing around 280 people to gather to sing and celebrate, as we retold the story of Jesus’ birth, with stories and carols.
For schools, ‘Open the Book’ has continued at The Royal Kent School (RKS), with a team joining
Issued for APCM April 2025
Page 2 of 21
Docusign Envelope ID: C07F8E77-5AB2-4F16-BFB4-1E2986E688C0
children each Thursday morning for a Bible story assembly. These assemblies continue to be hugely valued by the staff and children alike. We have also led other worship assemblies at RKS, Danes Hill and Bevendean Schools, including Welcome and Leavers’ Services, and seasonal services at Easter, Remembrance, Harvest and Christmas. In 2024 we were also able to offer interactive Easter and Christmas workshop mornings for RKS, allowing all children in the school to encounter and experience these familiar themes in new ways.
We continue to highly prioritise ministry amongst Families, Children and Young People, and look forward with anticipation to God’s continued leading in this through 2025.
## Ongoing ministries and fellowship
During 2024, despite the constraints, long-standing ministries continued to have a signi�icant positive impact amongst some of the more senior members of our community.
The Lunch Club met twice each month, serving a delicious two-course lunch; during the building works, we met in the Oxshott Village Centre.
Coffee Comfort, hosted each month by the bereavement team, was also thriving and well-attended; usually held at church, we met in the home of one of the group during the building works.
Our Craft Club continued to �lourish, with increasing numbers at our weekly meetings; during the building works, we have used the Oxshott Community Hub each week.
Senior members of the church gained much themselves from their involvement in all the various ministries, and speci�ic events, such as a Harvest Breakfast before a Sunday service in October, and a Christian Aid Quiz in September, also served to support and encourage all members of the church family.
We look forward to expanding all these activities in our refurbished buildings.
## Pastoral support
Pastoral support is available for anyone in the parish who needs it, regardless of whether or not they are a member of the church family. We have a team of trained pastoral assistants (PAs), including those who had previously comprised the bereavement team, who worked closely with the clergy and the of�ice team; we met monthly to review concerns and actions taken. Training is regularly provided for the PAs, including the training of new members of the team.
Life Group members and (in particular) leaders are also integral to our pastoral support and we are really thankful to God for them.
## Safeguarding
We have both Lead and Deputy Safeguarding Of�icers, who provide critically important support for all PAs, churchwardens and clergy, and we are immensely grateful to them both. In addition, all members of the PCC have had the necessary Safeguarding training.
## Prayer
Throughout 2024, Saturday Prayers were held in church to pray for the work of St Andrew’s, the parish and our Mission Partners. Attendees included those with responsibilities in the church.
Weekly prayer meetings, termed Pray Together, which include the clergy and of�ice staff, took place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9am (when not constrained by the building work), in person or via zoom.
## Mission Partners and Outward Giving
Since 2019 the PCC has maintained and fostered a balanced range of Mission Partnerships. We have a long-standing commitment to give a �igure equal to 10% of our annual core income as a church to our Mission Partners, and this resulted in an allocation of £20,655 to share with our Mission Partners, of which we disbursed £18,900 during 2024 (2023: £23,606).
We also had a number of special collections to support some of our Mission Partners, as well as other charities that support our mission and provide public bene�it. This allowed us to provide further �inancial support of £7,250 thanks to the generous response of our congregation (2023: £12,790). Our relationships with, and our committed �inancial support for, our Mission Partners continue to form one

of the main ways in which we serve and support our wider community, rather than just ourselves.

## Building Your Church
Building Your Church (BYC) is our ongoing work looking to expand as a church, and the necessary improvements to our ancillary buildings so we can better serve the parish. A crucial part of growing our young people and families ministries was the appointment of our then-Curate Revd Patrick Davies as a Locally Supported Minister in 2023, with full provision for all associated costs.
As regards the buildings, having received the necessary permissions from local Planning and church authorities, we agreed a revised design, essentially a complete refreshment of the existing ancillary buildings. This work includes much-needed investment into the hall, vestibule, of�ices, kitchen and toilets, which will bene�it all users, both the church family and the local community.
After a rigorous tender process, we appointed Ash Contracting, who were our builders for Phase 1 (the refurbishment of the church interior), to do the building work, which started in September 2024. By

then we had arranged storage of our various resources, and relocation of the bulk of our activities in various locations around the village. By the end of 2024, the main contract work was largely completed, but with some supplier-related delays - but with the expectation that work will be suf�iciently completed by February 2025 for us to begin moving activities back to our own premises.
There remains much to do, but this is an exciting project and we believe with constant prayer that God will bless us with the impact of these amazing and impressive buildings during 2025.
## Financial review

The balances of the funds at the year end were:

£900,688||||||Decrease|
The income and expenditure of all the funds, and previous year comparatives, are detailed in Section 16 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (see page 19 below).
## Key features
The Unrestricted General Fund, used for the day-to-day running of the church (and including our contribution to the Parish Share and our missionary and charitable giving) ended with a large reduction in funds due the budgeted payment of £55,000 for the roof repair. The Parish Share paid to the Diocese increased to £102,160 (2023: £99,023), less an extended vacancy reduction of £13,433. Outward giving decreased to £30,539 (2023: £37,527) being just over 13% of our total General Fund income.
The Unrestricted and Restricted Development Funds continued to receive income towards the funding of the BYC initiative to refurbish our ancillary buildings (see above). Also, noti�ication of an Unrestricted legacy of £250,000 was received on 12 December, and paid to us on 10 January 2025; the amount, plus interest accrued, is therefore included in the balances above, and also shown in Debtors as at the year end (see below). The total payments from all funds including accruals was £594,152.
One travel payment was made from the Restricted Mission Partner Travel Fund and is included in the outward giving �igure above. The young people and families ministries were �inanced from the Restricted Locally Supported Minister Fund and the fund at the end of the year is shown above.
## Reserves policy
The PCC’s reserves policy is to hold suf�icient free reserves to ensure the protection of St Andrew’s core activities and any special projects. The general fund unrestricted reserves are £81,513 and the trustees feel this reduced level is justi�ied following the roof repair and the desire to maintain our activities, which may lead to the requirement to fund a de�icit of income versus expenditure in 2025.
## Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of both PCC members and churchwardens is set out in the Church Representation Rules.
We have two churchwardens, Jill Perrett and Rebecca Mayhew. Currently we have no deputy wardens, and are very grateful to several former churchwardens for helping out as required. We aim to return to having a full team of two wardens and two deputies as soon as it is possible to do so.

The PCC Secretary position is currently Vacant. The Treasurer, elected annually at the �irst PCC meeting after the APCM, continues to be Carl Jackson. Ruth Burns is our Health and Safety Of�icer.
The PCC met on �ive occasions during the year. We have a Church Development Plan (CDP), i.e. establishing our current priorities – overseen by the PCC. In 2022 the diocese had introduced the Parish Needs Process, designed to help us to deliver our CDP; our priorities remain: Welcome; Serving our Community and delivering the BYC. Our Vision priorities continue.
Church matters are dealt with effectively by the various sub-committees, which are responsible to the PCC. Current sub-committees (with chairs) are: Standing Committee (Patrick Fleming and Norman Steven attended meetings, depending on who was to chair the subsequent PCC meeting); Parish Giving (Carl Jackson); Mission Partnering (Mark Currie); Hospitality (Adele Wright); Families, Children and Youth (Revd Patrick Davies) and the BYC Steering Group (Ron Stewart). The Publicity Team (chair: Patrick Davies) also meets regularly to oversee our external communications.
The PCC approves all policies and procedures, and reviews policies on a rotating basis. Policies reviewed in 2024 included: Baptism and Thanksgiving Policy, Con�lict of Interests Policy, Dignity at Work Policy, Fire Safety Policy, Legacy Policy, Lone Working Policy, Reserves Policy, Health and Safety Policy, Safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment of Ex-offender Policy. A Risk Register is maintained and reviewed by the PCC at least once a year. The Treasurer is primarily responsible for managing �inancial risk along with the Standing Committee. The PCC also has a robust GDPR policy.
## Personnel
2024 saw some signi�icant changes in Personnel. At the end of 2023, our Vicar, Revd Frances Trickey, had taken retirement, having been on long term sick leave, and her husband Revd Jolyon Trickey, an Associate Minister here, also stood down. Sadly, Frances passed away on 24 October 2024, and her funeral at Christ Church, Weston-super-Mare on 6 December was live streamed to congregations, including Esher Manor Care Home and a well-attended St Andrew’s congregation here.
So 2024 started in Vacancy, with Revd Patrick Davies serving as Associate Minister with particular focus on Families and Children. It was announced on 21 April, to much acclaim, that Patrick would be our new Vicar, and he was formally ‘inducted’ as such on 4 September.
In late Autumn 2024, Belinda Davies began a new part-time role, with a speci�ic focus to support families of pre-school aged children in the church and community.
We are most grateful to Val Beynon, Director of Music, who continues to receive an honorarium for her services, and to Nicky Orlebar, our organist; we engage and pay other organists as necessary.
Claire Costard and Rowena Osman-Robertson (Church Administrator and Assistant Administrator) continued in their sterling work in the of�ice. Rosina Bjarnason was our self-employed cleaner for most of the year, but has now retired.
In addition to the ‘of�icial’ staff, there are many ministries in our church, supporting both church and community activities and groups, undertaken by numerous church and community volunteers.

## Statement of Trustees’ responsibili�es
The members of the PCC, who are the trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the �inancial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the members of the PCC to prepare �inancial statements for each �inancial year which give a true and fair view of the PCC’s �inancial activities during the year and of its �inancial position at the end of the year.
In preparing these �inancial statements, the members of the PCC are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the �inancial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the PCC will continue in operation.
The members of the PCC are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the �inancial position of the PCC and enable them to ensure that the �inancial statements comply with the applicable law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## Parochial Church Council of St Andrew’s Church Oxsho�
## Notes to the Financial Statements for 2024
## Legal Status of the Church
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott is a Parochial Church Council established under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and the Church Representation Rules, and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, number 1128379. Details of the principal of�ice are included in the PCC’s Annual Report.
## Accoun�ng Policies
The �inancial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Charities Act 2011. The PCC constitutes a public bene�it entity as de�ined by FRS 102.
The �inancial 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 to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The �inancial statements include all 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 af�iliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## Going Concern
The Church has adequate reserves and recurring sources of income. The PCC therefore believes there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a Going Concern and the Financial Statements have been prepared on that basis.
## Funds
The Unrestricted General Fund represents the funds of the PCC which are available for the general purposes of the PCC and that are not subject to any restrictions on their use.
The Unrestricted Development Fund was set up by the PCC to fund activities to achieve the vision of St Andrew’s. Any unrestricted legacies received are allocated to this fund and individual members of the congregation are also invited to make donations to this fund. However, at the discretion of the PCC these monies can be used to support general fund expenditure, e.g. if monies were required to meet the ordinary operating budget; these monies are accordingly shown as an unrestricted rather than a restricted fund.
The Restricted Development Fund was set up by the PCC after the launch of fundraising for the Building Project.
The Restricted Hardship Fund was set up following the receipt of monies from the trustees of St Andrew’s Pre-School after its closure in 2019, to be used to bene�it local pre-school aged children through, for example, providing fees support, training for those who work with young children within the community, or for the support for a mother's emotional needs.
The Restricted Mission Partner Travel Fund was set to fund the travel costs of trips from Mission Partners to visit St Andrew’s, and/or fund the travel costs of a visit from a member of the Mission Partnering Committee, Ministry team or a Life Group to a Mission Partner.
The Restricted Economic Hardship fund was set up for those in our church and community most impacted by the economic crisis.
The Restricted Locally Supported Minister Fund was set up to fund a locally supported minister.
## Incoming Resources
Planned giving, legacies, other gifts and collections are recognised when received, or when formally
Issued for APCM April 2025
Page 10 of 21
Docusign Envelope ID: C07F8E77-5AB2-4F16-BFB4-1E2986E688C0
advised. Gift Aid tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Funds raised from hall rentals, magazine sales, and various other activities are accounted for gross and recognised when received. Fee income and interest are accounted for when received.
## Resources Used
Outward giving is accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when due.
Other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and includes, where applicable, irrecoverable VAT.
The books of account remain open until all known charges relating to the year have been paid or accrued and accounted for in the year’s accounts as paid, so all known expenditure relating to the year is accounted for in the accounts of the year.
## Fixed Assets
Consecrated and bene�iced property of any kind is excluded from the �inancial statements by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are also excluded from the accounts. They are listed in the Church Inventory that can be inspected at any reasonable time.
All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or bene�ice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed. Expenditure on individual items of equipment up to a value of £2,000 is written off when acquired. Any items over £2,000 are capitalised as �ixed assets and depreciated over their useful life. There were no assets in this category at 31 December 2024.
## Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December 2024 are shown as debtors.
## Pension Costs
St Andrew’s Church (Oxshott) (PB 2014) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of The Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.
The CWPF has a section known as the De�ined Bene�its Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
The Pension Builder Scheme of the CWPF consists of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as de�ined bene�it schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide bene�its at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to speci�ic employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a de�ined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged within the Statement of Financial Activities are the contributions payable (2024: £725 2023: £688).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out by the Church of England once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2022 and showed a surplus. The surplus has increased from £5.5m to £9m and there is no requirement for de�icit contributions.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott
I report to the members on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of St Andrew’s Oxshott (‘the PCC’) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## Responsibili�es and basis of report
As the members of the PCC (and trustees for the purposes of charity law) 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 PCC’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## Independent Examiner’s statement
Since the PCC’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I con�irm that I am quali�ied to undertake the examination because I am member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the PCC has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I con�irm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 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.
## Use of my report
This report is made solely to the PCC, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the PCC those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the PCC as a body for my work or for this report.
