TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
Aim, Purpose, Objectives & Activities
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew, Colyton Devon (Colyton Parochial Church Council) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Dr Steven Martin, in promoting the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Andrew’s Church, Colyton, St Michaels Chapel of Ease, Colyford and the properties known as Tysons, and the Sunday School Building. Since 2019 the PCC have also rented a retail outlet in Colyton in order to run a charity shop, known as The Lantern.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship in our churches and to become part of both our parish and the Holyford Mission Community. The PCC maintains an overview of this worship and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning activities for the year, we have considered public benefit (including the Charity Commission’s specific guidance for the advancement of religion) and have tried to enable people to live out their faith through:
-
Worship & prayer; learning about the gospel and developing knowledge through study
-
Provision of pastoral care
-
Mission & outreach work
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the buildings we are responsible for and make plans for their future.
Members of the PCC sit on both the Holyford Mission Community Council and the Honiton Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
The PCC also supports the vision and strategy of the Exeter Diocese. We seek to be people who together are growing in prayer, making new disciples and serving the people of Devon with joy.
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church communities what they are, in many and varied roles, including those who work in The Lantern Shop. The support of both the Friends of St Andrews and St Michaels is also much appreciated. The PCC relies on all of its volunteers continuing to give their time and talents in order to pursue all its work. New volunteers are always wanted and welcome.
Financial review
Total incoming resources were £233,215 (2022: £168,520) and total resources expended were £220,942 (2022: £173,631) giving a net surplus of £12,273 (2022: £5,111 deficit) before the revaluation of investments. Full details are as detailed in the financial statements.
In response to its previously noted diminishing reserves, the PCC in 2020 began a detailed review of all its finances, which includes the intension to rebuild reserves. The guidance and work of the finance team continues and it has been resolved to maintain a balance of general unrestricted funds which equates to £60,000. The current economic situation continues to provide challenges for both income and expenditure.
The PCC is aware that for the fifth year in succession it has been unable to pay its Common Fund contribution in full. The shortfall now totals £182,352 (2019: £20,000, 2020: £45,030 2021: £45,884, 2022: £24,441 and 2023: £45,120).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Risk
The PCC have given consideration to the major risks to which the parish is exposed and confirm that systems have been established to reduce those risks.
Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). We wish to thank the Safeguarding Team who co-ordinate and organise the compliance.
Achievements & Performance: Structure, Governance & Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including financial matters. The full PCC met five times during the year and has a good level of attendance. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of sub groups and committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These are all responsible to the PCC and they report back regularly with minutes of their decisions and recommendations being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. A summary of these committees’ work, objectives, activities, achievements and performance are published in a separate document and are available in both electronic and paper versions at the time of the annual meeting. Please do ask for/collect a free copy.
St Andrews Church Colyton and St Michaels Chapel of Ease Colyford are part of the Diocese of Exeter within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Church Office, Sunday School Building, Market Place, Colyton, Devon EX24 6JS. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2020) and a charity (Registration number 1129067).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST ANDREW, COLYTON, DEVON
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew, Colyton, Devon (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with 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) 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 now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew, Colyton, Devon is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The Church Office, Sunday School Building, Market Place, Colyton, Devon EX24 6JS. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2017).
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are offerings, donations and gifts and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity, without further specified purposes, and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
The Parochial Church Council operates a charity shop, 'The Lantern' in Market Square, Colyton receiving donated goods (clothing, household goods, small electrical items, toys, books and smaller items of furniture). Donated goods are accounted for in incoming resources on sale when the benefit to the PCC can be reasonably quantified and measured. The Lantern is entirely staffed by volunteers being managed by the Parochial Church Council.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
1.5 Resources expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. All expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.
The Diocesan Common Fund is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment
Straight line over 10 years
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the financial statements in accordance with s.96(2)(a)of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church inventory and can be inspected (at any reasonable time).
The only fixed asset referred to in these financial statements is the organ at St Michaels Chapel of Ease, Colyford.
1.7 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
