## **Trustees Report**
## **Objects of the charity**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at All Saints' church and to become part of our community. The PCC maintains an overview of our worship and other activities and is mindful of the need to include as many people as possible from our town in our activities.
It is a specific aim of our various styles of services to provide an accessible form of worship for those new to, or returning to, an active Christian faith. To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain and develop the fabric of the premises of All Saints' church and the other buildings on site to the highest standards.
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
To further the above objects and vision, the charity’s main activities and achievements were as follows:
Our pattern of Sunday services has remained unchanged throughout the year, and it has been a joy to welcome new people to both our Sunday services.
Our 10:30am Morning Worship service includes age-appropriate groups for children and is followed by refreshments. We celebrate Holy Communion at this service on 3rd Sunday of each month. Average attendance at 10:30 services during October 2025 was 127 adults (111 in 2024) and 16 U16s (16 in 2024).
Our 4:00pm Evening Worship service is attended by an average of 40 adults (35 in 2024) each week. The service is followed by refreshments in the hall. We celebrate Holy Communion on 1st Sunday of each month.
The 7 O’clock is our evening service held on the 2nd Sunday monthly at 7:00 pm which provides opportunity for more contemporary worship and a varied programme with a younger congregation. 3 U16s and 24 adults attended this service in October (5 U16s and 31 adults in 2024). Both the 10:30am and 4:00pm Sunday services are live-streamed, and a recording is linked to the website. Many of our congregation, unable to attend church regularly, watch a service online as do residents in several of our local residential homes.
Bible teaching is a core part of our Sunday services. During 2025 sermon series have included a series on Anxiety, Jesus “I Am” … sayings, Unlikely Heroines, and Radical news – Radical life. Our Advent series was entitled ‘Mystery made known’.
The 10:30am services during August were designed to be all-age and followed the theme of The Lord’s Prayer. Some other Sunday services had a particular focus, for example, The Leprosy Mission on 12 January, CMS with Alison Giblett on 2 February and SWYM with Paul Friend on 7 December. We were pleased to have Bishop Alf Cooper to preach on 22 June.
We were privileged to have Bishop Nick McKinnel come and take a Confirmation Service on Tuesday 7 October, at which 1 person was baptised and 5 confirmed.
We rely completely on our teams of committed volunteers to make all our services and events in church possible. From stewarding the car park, arranging the flowers, reading the Bible, welcoming
5 of 33
on the door, to providing refreshments, up to 50 volunteers give their time willingly to enable our Sunday services to take place each week. All our other events during the week also call upon church members and others who give their time and energy freely and regularly to make these happen. We are very thankful for all who give so much in this way.
We continue to be blessed by our group of gifted musicians and singers under our Director of Music, Jill Capron, very able leadership as they serve at each Sunday service and on other occasions. We are thankful, also, to Susan Gregory and John Hammond for assisting in this leadership role.
Kirsty Hammond, with the support of volunteers, continues to hold Sunday evening youth groups for older children and youth.
Jill Caporn leads the monthly youth Bible study group, ‘Cornerstone’ and ROC, which supports the development of youth musicians and singers and feeds into our 7 o'clock service.
Our homegroups continue to be a crucial means of Bible study and fellowship whereby members of the congregation ‘look out’ for each other and encourage and support one another. We are thankful to Helen Nelhams for fulfilling the role of Lifegroups Coordinator. Helen hosted a Lifegroups Leaders thank-you brunch in March. Jill Caporn continues to lead our Ladies Bible Study Group on Monday mornings. The Welcome Team led by Susan Gregory, Jayne Norton and Tony Vosper continue to strive to improve the welcome and inclusion of new people into the church family. 31 new people signed up on ChurchSuite throughout the year. Our monthly Tuesday Prayer & Praise meetings and Saturday Prayer Meetings continued throughout the year in church with some encouraging attendances. We are grateful to Malcolm Crabtree for leading the Hall Redevelopment Project since its inception, and this role has now been taken over by John Belton and Stephen Maycock. We hope that in Spring 2026 we shall be able to evaluate several tenders to carry out the work. In the meantime, Susan Gregory and her team have arranged a variety of successful fund-raising events, including a Talent Show, cake sales, craft sales, a Barn Dance and an Art Exhibition. The total amount raised at all fundraising events for the Hall Redevelopment Project was £4,521.
The recommendations contained within the latest quinquennial inspection report of work that needs to be done on the premises continue to be progressed according to a plan agreed by the PCC.
Under the direction of Jon Brown, contractors upgraded the OSB heating system and its controls to enable the system to be operated efficiently in line with room bookings.
In September, the PCC approved a proposal to engage additional resources for Children's, Youth & Families Ministry. Working through SWYM we hope to be able identify and recruit a suitable trainee to commence with us in September 2026.

In addition to our regular support in the provision of Bibles to the Year 6 Leavers at SPS, we welcomed to church all the new starters from SPS and presented each of them with an age-appropriate Bible. We also had the opportunity to support SPS with two Harvest services.

A total of 150 adults and 20 children attended our two services on Christmas Day (132 & 17 in 2024). We hosted a Carol Service for Sidmouth & District WI groups in church on 5 December.
Our regular summer event - EPIC camp was held over the weekend of 19-20 July and a Folk Festival service in Connaught Gardens which raised more than £503 (£454 in 2024) for ‘Gateway’, the local charity supporting the homeless. Our two men’s walking groups continue to meet monthly, with one of the groups intentionally for those who need some extra support. The women’s walking group also meets regularly.
Following the refurbishment of the OSB kitchen and redecoration of the main room, our new Community Café opened its doors in the OSB for the first time in September under the leadership of Angela Slade. This weekly event has been well-attended, particularly by folk not connected to All Saints.
Men’s Breakfast continued monthly throughout the year enabled by a small team ably led by Chas Heil. Up to 40 men attended each event on the 3[rd] Saturday of the month.
The Creation Care Group, under the leadership of Malcolm Crabtree, is still progressing with a Carbon Audit and Reduction plan and an application for a Carbon Action Fund (CAF) and Matched funding Grant under the scheme being promoted by EDDC for Green projects for Businesses and Communities in East Devon.
We continue to support Sidmouth Primary School and Sidmouth College through our partnership with ‘Transforming Lives for Good’. (TLG is a Christian charity that helps churches to bring hope and a future for struggling children). Hannah Boyd serves as our Coordinator to provide support to our team of trained volunteers.
Our team continue to provide weekly assemblies in Sidmouth and Sidbury Primary schools.
We rely heavily on Martin Allen, Jon Brown, Allan Ginman and Simon Gregory for their technical expertise in several areas and are thankful for their work on our behalf.

The Pastoral Care Team, under the leadership of the Vicar, reached out to many members of our congregation and beyond, particularly those who were identified as being ‘not in touch’ through other events or activities.
Jane Detrey and Carole Hawkins continue with their valuable ministry of holding services and taking holy communion in local residential homes, which is greatly appreciated by the residents.
Sadly, several of our members and others connected with the church, died during the year; our Clergy team (including retired Clergy with Permission to Officiate) conducted 2 funeral services in church (6 in 2024) and 12 funeral services (2 in 2024) in local crematoria, churchyards or cemeteries. There were no wedding services (1 in 2024) held in church.
We are grateful to Candy and David Owens, Jeff Stafford and Jerome Hagan for maintaining the church gardens and to Revd Robert Mulford for maintaining the grass and hedges.
From 3-7 March, All Saints hosted the Keswick in Devon Bible Convention, which was well attended, not only by local Christians but many from a wide area. A Keswick in Devon committee, reporting to the PCC, is responsible for organising the convention, which is planned to take place again from 2-6 March 2026.
We maintained regular contact with our mission partners and organisations, including:
- Andrew Moody and his family, working in Northern Uganda
- Amos Mutezimana currently studying in Kambale, Uganda

Our financial support for our mission partners and organisations amounted to £17,726 in 2025 (£17,210 in 2024).
In support of the work of Christian Response to Eastern Europe (CR2EE), through the generosity of church members, their families and other individuals, and through our group of dedicated knitters and crocheters, we collected enough resources to fill more than 200 Christmas shoe boxes and several bags of warm, winter clothing and blankets.
Many members of the town community benefit from the use of our premises through the various groups which hire them. There were 604 bookings in 2025 (583 in 2024) for external events on the premises; some events used multiple resources.
We continued an arrangement with Sidmouth Victoria Hospital, Culver House, Sidmouth Primary School and Rose Lawn Care Home that they could use the premises as an evacuation centre in the event of a serious incident at their own premises.

Under the editorship of Lena Welch, we continued to produce and distribute 100 copies of a monthly church magazine which includes the Diocesan News and Prayer Diary. Our weekly printed news sheet and email continue to provide information on Sunday services and on the week’s activities.
We continued to make extensive use of ‘ChurchSuite’ a church management system, and its member-facing facility ‘MyChurchSuite’, as a means of improving communication and data management. All data held within this system is compliant with the latest GDPR legislation. We produced and distributed 2 editions of our Term Card, outlining the subjects for Sunday services and listing our mission partners.
In planning the activities, the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
All Saints' Church is a partner church in the Sid Valley Mission Community in the Diocese of Exeter. It was built in 1837 and developed an evangelical tradition to which it remains committed. Its parish is limited to the area around the church and the Vicarage. It joined the Sid Valley Team Ministry in 1997 and is a member of The Evangelical Alliance. All Saints’ historic patron is CPAS (Church Pastoral Aid Society) who are part of the Patronage Board responsible for appointing the Team Rector and Team Vicars in the Sid Valley Mission Community. All Saints’ is committed to the truths of Christianity as contained in the CPAS Statement of Faith. The PCC has endorsed the Church of England Evangelical Council Basis of Faith and additional declarations.
The day-to-day management of the church is the responsibility of the Vicar in consultation, where appropriate, with the churchwardens.
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar in promoting the whole mission and ministry of the church, in all its aspects of worship, discipleship, outreach, care and stewardship, within the context of the Sid Valley Mission Community and in co-operation with other Christian churches. It also has responsibility for the maintenance of the buildings on the site. PCC members are Trustees under the Charities Act 2011.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2022. All those who have attended the Church for six months are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Each elected member is invited to serve a three-year term, after which time they may offer themselves for re-election. Election takes place at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in April/May. The 2025 APCM was held on 21 April, in church, with 80 members present (98 in 2024) and 37 members (55 in 2024) submitting their apologies. A resolution was passed at the APCM to maintain a limit of 12 electable posts on the PCC regardless of the number on the Electoral Roll.
The PCC met 6 times during the year, in person, in church. The newly elected PCC met briefly after the APCM in May to elect Principal Officers. All meetings were conducted in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. Minutes of the meetings are available for members to read on MyChurchSuite or in the church office. We are grateful to Rebecca Field (Operations Manager) for taking on the role of Secretary to the PCC.
The members of the Standing Committee, elected by the PCC - the Vicar (Chairman), the Curate, the Churchwardens, the Treasurer, the Secretary, Jill Caporn (Director of Music), Phil Cranch
10 of 33
(PCC Vice-Chairman) and Kirsty Hammond (Children’s and Youth Minister) - met in February, June and October to consider matters of an urgent nature and to review certain areas of operations. Each member of the Standing Committee acts as the lead on one area of the church activities, and any decisions taken by the Standing Committee are later ratified at a meeting of the PCC.
The PCC continued to be aware of its responsibilities for the Health and Safety of all those who worship at All Saints’ and those who visit our premises for other events. We are thankful that John Belton continues as our Health and Safety Officer and manages the maintenance of our buildings. There is a team of volunteers, under the leadership of Malcolm Crabtree, who undertake decorating jobs and small maintenance items. Contractors are engaged for more substantial work. Health and Safety is a permanent item on each PCC meeting agenda. The PCC’s Health and Safety policy is reviewed annually.
The PCC takes very seriously its responsibility for safeguarding all children and vulnerable adults who are in any way part of our community. Safeguarding is a permanent item on each PCC meeting agenda. The Safeguarding Action Plan was last reviewed in November 2025.The Safeguarding Team, which met 4 times during the year, consists of the following members:
- Sheila Maycock Parish Safeguarding Representative
- Jo Wilson Adult’s Advocate and Assistant Parish Safeguarding Representative
- Hannah Boyd Children’s Advocate
- Dee & Rob Chan Safer Recruitment / Safeguarding Training Co-ordinators
- Dougie Rowlinson DBS Verifier
Tracey Tipton delivered two face-to-face Basic & Foundation level training sessions during 2025, which were open to members of all Sid Valley Mission Community (SVMC) churches and well attended. The PCC are grateful to Tracey for providing on-site, face-to face safeguarding training.
The PCC remains committed wholeheartedly to supporting our Vicar, Revd David Caporn, and his family in his roles as Vicar of All Saints and St Mary & St Peter Salcombe Regis, Team Rector of the SVMC and Rural Dean for the Ottery Deaney.
Revd Sarah Rock-Evans continued to serve as our curate at All Saints and St Mary & St Peter Salcombe Regis and has the full support of our PCC.
The PCC held an away-day on Saturday 1 November, which was well attended and provided an opportunity for open discussion and prayer. We were grateful for the hospitality provided by Margit and Michael Mortensen.
In September, PCC considered a proposal from the diocese for the restructuring of the Sid Valley Team Ministry. Following David Caporn’s assertion that it would put All Saints in a stronger position regarding the appointment of clergy in future, the proposal was accepted.
The PCC received regular reports on the meetings of Ottery Deanery Synod.
The PCC continues to follow closely the situation within the Church of England regarding standalone services of blessing for same sex couples, and the permission to allow clergy to enter same-sex civil marriages. The PCC has not changed its position on holding to the historic doctrine of the Church of England on these issues and wholeheartedly supports our Vicar in his decision
11 of 33
not to use the Prayers of Love and Faith. The PCC continues to correspond and enjoy a good relationship with the Diocese and other churches.
Several members of the PCC and other church members attended meetings of the Devon Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship throughout the year.
Kirsty Hammond continued to work as the SVMC Youth and Children's Minister based at All Saints. Kirsty’s work is line-managed by the Vicar. The parish of Sidbury with Sidford has ceased contributing to the cost of Kirsty’s employment.
We were delighted to welcome Rebecca Field to the staff team as Operations Manager in January. Rebecca brings a wealth of relevant experience to the team.
In addition, we employ the following staff:
- Chris Burman for 8 hours per week as Administrative Assistant
- Simon Gregory for 8 hours per week as Finance Assistant.
The Finance and Administration teams jointly continued to be responsible for the financial management of all weddings and funerals involving the SVMC clergy across the 6 churches, thereby ensuring accurate and consistent charges and timely disbursement of fees received to clergy and PCCs.
The church is greatly indebted to our finance team for their diligent management of our church finances. The team consists of the following members:
- Hon PCC Treasurer - John Russell
- Finance Officer, Giving (Standing Orders/FW Offerings/Gift Aid etc.) - John Slade
- Finance Assistant - Simon Gregory
## **Financial Review**
Unrestricted and Restricted Funds.
All income and expenditure have been included in the accounts, whether it was received and expended for general or restricted funds. Money which has been raised on behalf of an organisation and paid directly to them has not been included. Agency work undertaken on behalf of the SVMC has not been included.
Total funds amount to £297,393k of which £9,767k are in an endowment fund (interest only to be used), £244,190 in restricted funds and £43,436 in unrestricted funds.
## Income
Our total income has remained similar to the previous year at £435,075 (2024: £438,253), due to a further gift day and grants totalling £32,000 for the Hall Redevelopment Fund. Church Hall lettings have reduced slightly and Keswick in Devon giving remained similar to previous years.
## Common Fund
The year saw a reduction of £9,152. The full amount due has been paid.
## Expenditure
12 of 33
The expenditure has increased over the year with inflation affecting all costs, together with ongoing work to the Old School Building, and an increase in staffing levels. Our annual Mission Support has continued.
## Youth & Children’s Minister
The costs of salary and expenses were met by monies received from churches in the Sid Valley Mission Community (SVMC) and from specific donations. Each Church (including All Saints) agrees to pay a proportion of the Youth Minister’s salary and expenses, and this amount is paid into the Youth Fund account. The amounts payable by each church are reviewed annually as is the salary. The historic balance built up in the Youth Fund will be slowly reduced. At the end of 2025 there was £7,796 (2024: £7,615) in the account to be carried forward for future expenses.
## Conclusion
The unrestricted funds have seen a major decrease of £17,862 as we struggled to increase giving, but with the Gift Day held in November 2025 pledges have been made to improve our income for unrestricted funds over 2026 although there are many calls on our budget for the coming year. Restricted Funds are in good health, and we are now in a position where we can progress the redevelopment of the Hall.
## **Investments Policy**
The PCC invests in financial institutions where in its opinion the capital is secure, and interest is payable on funds deposited. Funds are deposited with CBF Church of England Funds and HSBC Bank.
## **Reserves Policy**
The stated policy is to hold 3 months day to day expenses together with 3 months wages/salaries. Currently our general reserves are sufficient to meet between 1 and 2 months of these expenses. The Church is fully aware of the current position and have given generously in the recent Gift Day the benefits of which we will see over the months of 2026.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees under charity law**
The members of the PCC as Trustees of the charity, are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The Trustees are required by the Charities Act 2011 to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Those financial statements must give a true and fair view of the financial position and activities of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
13 of 33
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102), with amendments taking effect in 2026.
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- State whether applicable UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- Prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Notes - Accounting Policies**
## **Basis of Preparation**
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011.
## **Public Benefit**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at All Saints' church and to become part of our community. The PCC maintains an overview of our worship and other activities and is mindful of the need to include as many people as possible from our town and neighbouring areas in our activities. When planning our activities for the year, the Vicar and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable every person to live out their faith as part of the church community.
## **Going Concern**
The Trustees consider All Saints Sidmouth is a going concern at the date for approving the accounts. There are no material uncertainties, of which the Trustees are aware, that would suggest that the charity cannot continue as a going concern for the next year.
## **Key Risks & Uncertainties**
The PCC has examined all areas of the church’s operations and considered the major risks faced in each of these areas. In the opinion of the PCC, the church has established resources and review systems which, under normal circumstances, should allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations.
## DATA Protection
Some not-for-profit organisations are exempt from the requirement to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office. All Saints’ Church fulfils the necessary exemption criteria in that it will:
- only process information necessary to establish or maintain membership or support.
- only process information necessary to provide or administer activities for people who are members of the church or have regular contact with it.
- only share the information with people and organisations necessary to carry out the church’s activities.
- only keep the information while the individual is a member or supporter or as long as necessary for member/supporter administration.
All personal information is held securely, is only available to those who have a specific need to know and is securely destroyed when no longer required.
19 of 33
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects.
Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal.
## **Incoming Resources**
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
- All voluntary income from members of the charity is recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities.
- Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
- Income resources from charitable trading activities such as the letting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up (as at the point of entitlement).
- Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.
- Gifts in Kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount realised.
- Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the charity, is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees Annual Report.
- Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable
## **Resources Expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. The Diocesan Common Fund is accounted for when paid.
## **Governance Costs**
Governance costs include costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are shown within ‘Analysis of Expenditure’ note.
20 of 33
## **Liability Recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
## **Tangible Fixed Assets**
Assets over the value of £2,000 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the expected useful economic life of that asset, as follows:
- Musical and Technical Equipment- 5 years on straight line basis
- Office and computer equipment - 5 years on straight line basis
- Furniture, fixtures and fittings - 5 years on straight line basis
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 since the PCC consider this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable Church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
## **Pensions**
The charity contributes to the Church of England Funded Pension Scheme (CWPF), which is a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme. The charity is unable to identify its share of this scheme's assets and liabilities therefore, as permitted by FRS 102, it is being treated as if it were a defined contribution scheme.
The CWPF is an occupational pension scheme, set up under trust, for the benefit of clergy and licensed lay workers in the Church of England. The costs of the CWPF’s benefits are met by the various church bodies and other organisations that participate on behalf of their employees and office holders. Contributions are paid to the Board as Trustee of the CWPF by those participating organisations. The contribution rate is set by the Board based on advice provided by the Scheme Actuary and is reviewed at least every three years. The Trustee monitors the covenant of the Scheme’s sponsors to assess their ability to support the Scheme. The Trustee believes the Scheme’s sponsors are willing and able to underwrite its liabilities. The legal details of the CWPF are contained in the Trust Deed and Rules and subsequent amendments, copies of which are available from the Trustee. For practical reasons, the Scheme’s sponsors have delegated their rights to consultation on several issues, including the content of this statement, to the Trustee. The Trustee will review this Statement every year and without delay after any significant change in investment policy or, if required, following a formal investment strategy review.
The Trustee receives written advice from its Investment Consultant on any investments prior to them being implemented. The Statement complies with the requirements of the Pensions Act 1995 (as amended) and the Occupational Pension Schemes (Investment) Regulations 2005 (as amended).
A formal valuation of the fund is due as at 31st Dec 2025 and the latest actuarial review advises that:-
21 of 33
The headline is positive.
- For the DBS – this section remains in a very healthy position. The surplus reduced over 2024, mainly due to the completion of the buy-in and paying the buy-in premium to Aviva. Over the course of 2025, the scheme remains in a healthy position.
- For PB Classic – the financial strength of this section continues to build, with the scheme showing a very healthy surplus at the end of 2024. Over the course of 2025, this strength has continued, with the surplus increasing. This reflects our decision to add a 10% bonus to all pensions on 1 January 2026.
- For PB 2014 – this section is also in a strong position, with the surplus growing substantially over 2024, and it continued to grow over 2025. This strong position reflects our decision to add a bonus of more than 12% in 2025.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation**
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
In preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions must be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant:
- The annual depreciation charge for plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances.
- The constructive obligation for grants payable is based on an assessment of the likely duration of the supported activity. This estimate is re-assessed annually, and the obligation is adjusted to reflect current expectations.
