Achievement and performance Review of the Year 2023

Curates - The Revd. Richard Eves continued his role serving as Curate to the Parish.

Church Membership - During 2023 APCM the Electoral Roll was revised As at the end of 2023 the number on the Electoral Roll was 247: 227 from Wargrave and 20 from Knowl Hill. The usual Sunday attendance is around 100 adults and 15 children in Wargrave, and 15 adults in Knowl Hill / Warren Row.

The PCC met 6 times during the year with an average attendance of 77%. Committees, Ministry & CoGs Teams met between meetings, and reports of their activities were received by the full PCC for their recommendations to be discussed and acted upon.

Much voluntary work on the buildings and grounds has kept costs to a minimum. The detached Churchyard extensions of both Churches are now being mostly maintained by additional support from their local communities, both financially and with volunteer labour.

The audio/visual system has continued to provide a very positive benefit in developing our services - enabling screen displays for hymns and information during services and the recording and filming of services and events.

Financial review

The year's Financial Accounts show that a surplus of £2,765 before fund transfers was recorded on unrestricted income and expenditure. The main decrease in comparison to 2022 came from legacies received in the prior year of almost £90,000 compared to no such receipts in the 2023 year. Stewardship and most other income sources were lower than last year although collection income was up compared to 2022. There was also a small rise in fee income relating to more weddings and funeral being held than in the past few years. Restricted income was down from £46,585 in 2022 to £24,005 in 2023 due mainly to the non-recurrence of donations in excess of £30,000 (including gift aid) towards the St Peters Restoration Fund which were received in 2022.

Unrestricted expenditure in the increased from £182,879 in 2022 to £193,872 in 2023 - an increase of 6%. The main increase in costs related to churchyard and cemetery maintenance (with work being done on the churchyard wall the cemetery memorial), and the rising costs of light, heat and insurance. Lower income levels resulted in lower mission giving as this is directly related to the level of unrestricted income net of parish share.

Restricted expenditure was much lower than in 2022, with the main cost being the pay-away of the Diocesan portion of statutory fees collected in the year and tree works on Mill Green. As a result of these movements, there was a net expenditure of around £3,160 on restricted funds. As a result restricted funds held at the year-end were £83,376 compared to £85,536 in 2022, whilst unrestricted reserves stood at £250,954 at the end of 2023 compared to £249,189 at the end of 2022.

The PCC's policy is to invest any surplus cash in the Central Board of Finance deposit fund. Endowment funds are invested in the COIF or CBF Investment Funds managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd on behalf of the Trustees. Unrestricted balances are either designated for use against future repairs or used to smooth income fluctuations and are on deposit or in working capital.

Structure, governance and management

The Parish Health and Safety Policy continues to operate so that for all significant areas of activity, risk assessments are undertaken and monitored.

A Safeguarding Policy is in place, for work with children and young people and vulnerable adults as well.

A GDPR Policy and team is now also in place and working well delivering all the necessary elements of the new legislation.

St. Mary's continues to support several external causes with the Mission Ministry Team providing information, and coordinating prayer and financial support. Our main financial support was given to TearFund Earthquake Appeal this year as well as a couple of smaller donations to Wargrave Parish Trust . Support was also given to 2 congregation members undertaking evangelistic and training projects with Youth with a Mission and Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Mid-week activities flourish around the parish, with Home Groups meeting regularly for prayer, study and fellowship, some of which now meet in the Church Centre. A number of Courses and Talks have been arranged and been very well attended. Under the auspices of the CoG's Caring Team, a growing number of Services and provision of Holy Communion have been held at retirement homes and for the housebound.

The work of the CoG's Gathering Team and support volunteers has resulted in a positive increase in work among children and young people, enhancing the amount of contact with the children in the Parish.

The Knowl Hill Strategy Team has continued to build on working with the Village Association on social events and on making the Church an accessible place with special services, such as Village Praise on the first Sunday of every month providing a focus.

The reorganisation of the work pattern in the busy Parish Office continued to be successful. The Office has continued to function well, thanks to the work of Ros and Lucy, our Parish Administrators, and their team of supporters.

Jane Wills was re-appointed as Treasurer and continues to provide the PCC with regular accounts and valued reports.

The Parish Magazine continued to be well received. The longstanding editor, Bob Austen MBE, finally stood down at the end of the year after 15 years of dedicated service, and this has coincided with the launch of a new, more concise publication for 2024. The PCC and wider church family would like to thank Bob for all his hard work over the years, and wish him well with all the newly acquired spare time.

Peter Dart as Director of Music continues to plan and lead the musical worship of the main morning Services at St. Mary's and for additional festivals such as the Christmas Carol Service and the Concert in November. The singing group provides positive leading for our worship through their singing and instrumental participation.

The Parish Roadmap continues to act as the overall strategic plan with our vision for the church to be "A church at the heart of our community”.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Wargrave with Knowl Hill PCC

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wargrave with Knowl Hill PCC

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Wargrave with Knowl Hill PCC (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2016)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of Investments which are included at market value.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible by law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

Voluntary income and capital sources:-

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under covenant or pledge is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised in the period in which the qualifying donations are received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

.

Other income:-

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. Funds raised by church social events and other activities and from the sale of books and magazines are accounted for gross.

Dividends and interest are accounted for when received.

Gains and losses on investments:-Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December 2023.

Donated goods and gifts in kind are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Expenditure

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. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when there is a legal and constructive obligation to pay out resources, and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described as appropriate in the trustees' annual report.

Tangible fixed assets

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is not included in the accounts in accordance with section 10(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 inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2003 there is insufficient cost information and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.

Page 9

WARGRAVE WITH KNOWL HILL PCC

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting policies - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset where the asset is readily identifiable as separate to the buildings or fabric thereof. Individual and separable items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments, COIF shares and UK stocks & shares are valued at market value at 31 December 2023.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Value added tax

The Charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly, where applicable, all costs and expenditure incurred are accounted for inclusive of VAT.
