TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The objective of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

The PCC met six times during 2024, all meetings being in person.

There is a Standing Committee as required by law which transacts business delegated to it by the PCC or urgent business between PCC meetings. It consists of Licensed Clergy, Church Wardens, PCC Treasurer and PCC Secretary.

A Buildings Group chaired by Alisdair Rusk (Church Warden) has delegated authority from the PCC for care of the buildings and using the maintenance budget. As well as the Parish Church, the PCC is responsible for 1a New Street and the Dixon Hall.

A Finance Group advises the PCC on budget and financial issues.

An Eco-Church group has been formed under the leadership of Malcolm Wright to advise the PCC on eco issues.

A Mission Partnerships Group recommends to the PCC how external financial giving should be allocated and keeps the church engaged with those partnerships, each of which has a ‘champion’. Our Mission Partnerships were selected by congregational vote in 2023.

A significant proportion of the church are allocated into Connect Groups for learning, fellowship and pastoral care. These each have appointed leaders.

Safeguarding

The PCC has safeguarding on each agenda. All relevant national and diocesan policies have been adopted. The parish safeguarding officers join the PCC meetings three times per year where we assess ourselves against the diocesan ‘dashboard’ to ensure that both safeguarding compliance and culture are as good as possible. Safeguarding culture is highlighted in main services each term too.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the PCC Powers Measure and is a Registered Charity number 1129494.

The PCC works in co-operation with The Church Wardens, Clergy and Lay members of the church in promoting the Mission of the Lord’s people within the Ecclesiastical Parish of Rugby West. Regular congregations meet in the parish church. In March 2024 we closed a service that ran for many years in Overslade Community Centre.

There were 128 people on the Electoral Roll in April 2024.

The objective of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.

During 2024 we completed the plans listed in our 2023-24 priorities document and the PCC discerned a new set of priorities for 2024-5. We have been working through those and many are already complete.

Significant issues in 2024 include the employment of a part time Church-School Link worker, and the achievement of carbon zero for our heating and lighting after installation of Air Sourced Heat Pumps and the taking out of a new ‘green’ utilities contract. Spiritually we have focussed on developing spiritual disciplines using material from the “Practicing the Way” course.

The PCC reviews progress on these priorities at each meeting and seeks to keep the church informed.

The Vision statement, outlining what we are aiming to become, remains the same.

The PCC is also responsible for overseeing the provision of resources to enable these ministries. Those resources include buildings, finance, and people.

Financially, when extra-ordinary income and building development expenses have been removed, the underlying trend is for revenue income and expenditure to be almost in balance. A reserves policy is in place to ensure that we use our reserves appropriately.

Our phased building development programme continues. Now the heating is replaced, the next major project will begin in Q2 2025 and encompasses a full refurbishment of the Nave and Chancel and a new Audio-Visual system. Full funding for this is in place.

Attendance at Sunday and Tuesday worship services has grown by 11% during 2024 and we have seen continued, encouraging growth in our 5-10 year old ‘Fun Followers’ group.

ST MATTHEW & ST OSWALD RUGBY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The existing ministries of the church include:

Children and Youth

Adult Discipleship

Community Outreach Ministries

Financial review

It is the policy of the Trustees that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level in excess of two month’s overall expenditure and an additional month of salaries. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is a corporate body established by the Church of England.

ST MATTHEW & ST OSWALD RUGBY

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST MATTHEW & ST OSWALD RUGBY

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Matthew & St Oswald Rugby (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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.

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements 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 the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

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:

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 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

St Matthew & St Oswald Rugby is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the PCC Powers Measure and is a Registered Charity number 1129494.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). 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 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

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. 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 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.

Designated funds represent the amounts from the General Fund set aside for various items, eg. capital purchases, building fund etc. Funds designated for a particular purpose are unrestricted and may be reallocated if required by the PCC.

Restricted funds are grants and donations made for a specific purpose and may only be expenses on those restricted terms.

1.4 Income

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.

ST MATTHEW & ST OSWALD RUGBY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings Straight Line over 50 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 beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 96(2) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable church furnishings which are held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and require a faculty for disposal, are considered inalienable property.

1.7 Investment property

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 profit or loss.

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.

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 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.

1.11 Employee benefits

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
