Our vision is for St John's to be a Christ-centred Church and grow in numbers, faith, fellowship and mature godliness, sharing God's hope and expressing God's love for creation, while taking an active role in building a flourishing and inclusive o)mmunty in Grove. The full PCC met 6 times during the year. with an additional APCM. discussing issues including finance,. worship,. outreach; safeguarding; ytyJth Kork; fabric improvements; health and safety,. and community engagement.

The last year ha5 been shaped by us being in a vacancy for the role of Viczr, following Rev. John Durant's retirement in January 2024. The parish nominated 3 parish representatives, that work together with other parish reps frorn across the benefice, in conjunrtion with the Diocese, to ueate a parish profile and advertise for this role_ In October. our Assoaate Wicar. Rev. Alec Gill. applied for the role and was appointed Vicar designate, taking on the new role in January 2025. We have been blessed by visiting retired clergy and congregation members taking on extra ie5POnsibilitie5, and leading Servi5 throughout the year. During the year, we have benefited from our LLM. Sarah Shackleton's, continued ministy, leading services and starting a Messy Church, that met for Good Friday and before Christmas. The link with our church sthools continues to be very strong. A very dedicated Open the Book team continue to go to schwl each week to teach a bible story. The church hosted and led a prayer space for Grove Pnmary Sch1 in the Church building.

Financial Review The 2024 accounts show a defiat of income over expendtture or £5,800 for the unrestricted funds once the transfer of money to the Benef fund is taken into account. Of the restricted funds the Benefice fund had £2,800 shortfall of income, On the transfer from the general fund, towards the costs, is taken into account. The Fabric and Hall maintenan funds also had a deficit, but this was due to spending money left from previous years. In 2024 the General fund income from hall and rrn lettings was about £14,000 which is an increase ofjust over £1.000 than 2023. This is made up of£11.000 from outside bodies and £3,000 cross charge from Grow {Grove and Wanlage Family Community Group), whith is separate committee and fund of the PCC. In 2024 our utility costs reduced from £12.500 in 2023 tojust under £9.800. This was mainly due to the renewal we negotiated in 2023, at reduced rates, with a different company. As these were fixed rates the costs should remain at the same level in 2025, assuming a similar usage. During 2024 we received income of just over £6,7LKI from the rental of the Curate's house. However, we did have to cary out some fijrther refijrbishment work totalling some £9,000. We received £5,100 from the di0Se towards these as their 48% contribution of the costs. In tems of general funds. the financial position is healthy. with an unrestricted cash balance of just over £57,195. Some of this is held as contingency in line with the reserves policy below, whilst other is earmarked towards several large expendrtures that will occur in 2025. We are, as always, extremely grateful to those of the congregation continue giving on a regular basis. as well as the special donations we receive from them for additional expenditure items that arise. Finally, thanks 2rÉ also duÈ to SUÈ PamÈll who artÈd as bookkÈÈpÈr during thÈ yÈar and to Pat Bates who counts and banks the money each week. Funds in Deficit The Benefice fund is shown as just over £2.800 in deficit. This is due to an error in calculating the contributions required frcffl each parish for 2024. It is intended to correct this by increasing the contributions in 2025. Page 5 of 20
Year ended 31st Dernber 2024 ReseNes Pollcy Grove PCC aims to hold suffiuent money to covw equival8nt of 25% of annual general running costs. The rrent general funds are enough for this policy.

Key Risks & Uncertainties The charity is exposed to vanous risks, induding operational. financial and reputational risks. The trustees review the charity's activities regularfy to identrfy significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. Fund Accounting Unrestricted income funds comprr5e those funds whith the trustee5 are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the chantable objects. Unrestncled funds include designated funds where the trustees. at their discretion, have set aside resourtss for a sPefiC purpose. Restricted fijnds are funds which are to be used in accordance wth specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the temi of specrfic appeal. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. Incoming Resources All incoming resources are recognised On the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received. and the monetary value of incomin9 resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. All voluntary income from members of the charty are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Grft Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial ActNikn'es. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recc¥3nised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Page 11 of20
Year ended 31 st December 2024 Income resources from chantsble trading activrtEs such as the ktting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up las 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 actually 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. Investsment Income is included in Ihe accounts when re1vable Resources Expended Expenditure is recconised on an accrual basis as a liabilty is incurred. Liabiltties are recthgnised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation commtttsng the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can Le measured wtth reasonable certainty. Governance Costs Govemance costs include costs asgxiated with the independent examination of the financial statements. compliance with constituts'onal and stalulory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. Govemance costs are shown within 'Analysis of Expenditure, note. Liability Recognition Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive Obligatn committing the charity to pay out resources. Tangible Fixed Assets Assets over the value of £500 are capitslised. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of an asset. less rts estimated residual value. over the expected useful economic life of that asset, as follows= The Curate's House is valued at cost less 2Yo straight-line depreciaknon per annum.

Year ended 31 st December 2024 Pensions The charity partakes in the Church Workers Pension Fund operated by the Church of England Pensions Board, a contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the statement of Financial Activrties as they become payable in accordance with the rules ofthe scheme. Operating Leases We have no operating leases. 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 adjustrnent to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reF)Orting period. In preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recc*3nised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant.. The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic lrfe and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to refiect ujrrent circumStans. 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 expectatnS. Concessionary Loans The charity inits'ally recognises and measures concessionary loans at the amount reiVed or receivable. The carrying amount is adjusted in subsequent years to reflect repayments and any accrued interest. Page 13 of 20
