children for school, a creatve range of
actvites and a full curriculum. It is

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|2024 is a partal year report because St Paul’s
merged with other parishes to create a new
charity, Church St Helens.
Income over the period was comparable
proportonately to income in 2023 with regular
planned giving and donatons (£12,760) by far
the most important income stream for the
general fund. Restricted income (25,426) is
almost all grants (£24,178) in connecton with
the pre-school.
Unrestricted operatng expenditure (total
£17,616) exceeded income by £3,719 over the
four month’s period, leaving St Paul’s with free
reserves of just £6,832. The PCC is very aware
of the need to address the fnancial challenges
of the church as a mater of urgency within the
new parish of Church St Helens.
Restricted expenditure was a litle below
income, substantvely restricted grants: a small
surplus of £1,156.
Annual defcits have drained parish reserves
and the PCC is mindful of the urgent need to
act decisively. The majority of unrestricted
income comes from congregatonal giving. We
expect a positve response to appeals for an
increase in giving and fresh take up of the
Parish Giving Scheme to underpin our ministry.
Additonally we will seek the support available
from the new parish and from diocesan
support teams to generate new income
streams going.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|It is PCC policy that a sum equal to three
months operatng costs. This has not been
achieved. As part of a new, larger parish St
Paul’s will address the need for a balanced
operatonal budget and to rebuild reasonable
reserves and there will be additonal central
support to assist.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£6,832 unrestricted;£28,907 restricted| |Reasons for holding zero

Examiner. The trustees are confdent that

The imminent move to Church St Helens is a
rich opportunity for a fnancial reset and a
renewed commitment to sustainable ministry| and mission, with new income streams to supplement our regular and occasional giving income. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

Page 1 ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF St. PAUL'S, BLACKBROOK** ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of St.Paul's, Blackbrook** This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31st December 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 13 , is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3 (3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('The Regulations') and s43 of the Charities Act 1993 ('The Act') ## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner** As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and s.43(2) of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. Basis of Independent Examiner's Report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under s.43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent Examiner's Statement Basis for qualified opinion on financial statements In connection with my examination, except for the matter set out in the ‘basis for qualified opinion on the financial statements’ above , no matter has come to my attention : - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act ; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met: or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. The notes on pages 5 to 6 form part of these accounts Paul Basnett 64 Claremount Road Wallasey Merseyside CH45 6UD 24th July 2024 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST.PAUL'S BLACKBROOK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 April 2024** Page 2 ## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP (2005). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial 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 affiliation to another body, nor that are informal gatherings of church members. ## Funds Unrestricted 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 donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. ## Incoming Resources Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. ## **Resources Expended** Grants and donations are 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. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. ## Fixed Assets No value is placed on movable Church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal. The PCC considers this to be an inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off in the SOFA.

1084| Page 1 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF St. PAUL'S, BLACKBROOK Independent Examinerfs Report to the PCC of St.Paul's, Blackbrook This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 30th April 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 13, is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3 (3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('The Regulations,) and s43 of the Charities Act 1993 ('The Act,) Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and s.43(2) of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the temis of the Regulations. Basis of Independent Examiner's Report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under s.43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent Examiner's Statement Basis for qualified opinion on financial statements In connection with my examination, except for the matter set out in the 'basis for qualified opinion on the financial statements, above , no matter has come to my attention (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act . and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met: or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. The notes on pages 5 to 6 form part of these accounts rJlK Paul Basnett 64 Claremount Road Wallasey Merseyside CH45 6UD 24th July 2024
