Trustees, Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024
Our aims and purposes as a charity
St Bartholomew's Parochial Church Council IPCCI has the responsibility of cooperating with the Vicar, Fr Benjamin
Eadon (until Octoberl. in promoting in 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
Bartholomew's Church.
What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives
When planning our activities for the year. the PCC considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
and, in particular, the specific guidance on 'charities for the advancement of religion,.
The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016,
fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable
adults.
For 2024 we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfil our aims..
• Enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church
• Enabling as many people as possible lo become part of our parish community
• Teaching. baptising and nurturing new and existing believers
• Maintaining an overview of worship throughout the parish
Putting faith into practice, Ihrough prayer and scripture, music and sacrament
Offering worship and prayer
Promoting the gospel and assisting people from all walks of life to find life in Jesus Christ
Providing pastoral care for people living in the parish
Providing assistance to the poor and needy of the parish
Giving in accordan¢e with our charitable objectives
Reaching out to the wider community
Maintaining the fabric of the church as a place of worship and for the community to access.
What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries, lives
Attendon¢e ot worship and privote proyer
The church family welcomes visitors from within 3$ well as outside the parish boundary. Vi51tors attend bv
personal choice alld it is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the
church. We contend that voluntary attendance to worship the Loid Je5U5 Christ 45 3 major demonstration of the
public benefit of our activities.
Our regular pattern of public worship continues. We have seen an increase again in attendance al our Sunday

Mass Js well as across the weekday Masses and at major feasts. We have been able to welcome a number of new
people and seen an increase in the number of our'worshipping community., Being open for casual visitors during
the week remains a signiticarht part of our mission and the numbers of people visitr'ng for private prayer remain
steady.
Sadly, at the end of 2024 St 8artholomew's CofE Primary Sthool closed. bringing to an end a very long history of
education being provided on that site in collaboration with the church communitv.
Lent and Easter was a busy time during which we had a Lent Course. weekly Stations of the Cross and the usual
Holy Week liturEies.
In Advent, we once again ran a study course and weekly Exposition of the Blessed S3crament. Christmas is a very
special time of Celebration where many sections of the community come together to join in the seNices. Children
and adults alike jDin in and memories are made.
Other signilicant liturgical events included our Patronal Festival in AuEUSt and our Dedication Festival in
September. All were beautiful occasions and it was good to welcome so many people at them, not least because
2024 saw our parish celebrate 150 years of Christian witness and worship.
Teochin9, buptising and nurturiftg new t)nd existing believers
In 2024 the clerEY took 2 funerals. 4 children were baptised, l aduli was baptised, and 2 adults were confirmed. I
child from St Bartholomew's School was admitted to Holy Communion.
A group of us went on pilgrimage to Walsingham as part of the Brighton & Hove Wagner Group. which was a
valuable time of prayer and fellowship. It gave people the opportunily to leain more about living life as a
Christian, to 50cialise, to get to know people at a deeper level, to share experience5 and to spend leisure time and
meals together.
Evangelism ond outreoch
As has been noted. our church School has now closed. PCC members have for many years served faithfully on the
Governing Body and, in parhcular. have offered exiensive support lo the school community in the run-up to the
closure.
The Mission Acb'on Plan has continued io be implemented and helps shape our planning and our activities. The
textiles group continues to meet twice a month. We also had 3 series of setvices aimed especially at young
families. A Rosary group and book study group for young adults. begun in the autumn of 2023. have continued
and attracted several new members through 2024.
Provision of the church building and church hollAorpeople to enjoy
Our church continue5 to be appreciated by our parishioners, and many others. as a space where life events are
celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. In 2024 improvemenls and maintenance work included the repair of the
window which wa5 damaged by a storm in 2021. continued work on the boilers. the removal of some graffiti from
the litvrgical west end of the building and the removal of foliage from and repointing of the upper parts.
Furthermore. the feasibility study commissioned by the PCC was completed by the Churches Conservation Trust,
giving optr'ons for the redevelopment and renewal of our building. In addition to worship. the church building is
used for other occasions such a5 concerts, fayfes. social evenls and community @roup meetings,
It 15 also important to us that the church is available for private prayer not just to the Church family but to the
wider visiting community. To this end the church building is open most days of the year and visitors Come in to
pray, to light candles, to have a look around. and for peaceful respite. It has been encouraging, therefore, that
during 2024 we have added one new member of our church watching team. enabling a further three hours each
week when the church is open.
Provision of pastoral coreAor people liviny In the porish
The clergy are responsible for visits to the sick and housebound and the Sacrament is regularly taken to those who
are housebound and to people during stays in hospital.
Provision OA tangible support to the poor ond needy and churitoble giving
The chLJrch has a small foodbank that is regularly used to help those in need who enter our building. Support has
also been given in other ways to people who presenl with malerial need al church or ore in J state of anxiety. We
continue to subsidise certain community groups to make use of the church and in some cases offer free use for
charitable causes. We held a retiring collech.on in October for oui local foodbank. IO% of Christmas service
collections wa5 divided between Justlife Foundation and Family Support Work. and church fllembers contr'nue
personally to support local charihes and community initiatives through volunteering and donations.

Finun¢it71 Review
The total receipts within the Unrestritted Fund amounted to £153,511 compared with £131,751 in the previous
year and are detailed in the Income and Endowments note 2 of the following accounts. Planned giving showed a
reduction to £23,770 compared with last yearfs £24.535. Other non-regular donations including capital gifts.
collecting boxes in the church and contaciless giving came to £2 1.686 compared with £16,081 in 2023. Gift Aid lax
rebates amounted to £9,3761£9,258 in 20231. It is important for donors complete Gift Aid declarations if they pay
suffi'cient income tax since the church beneh'ts from an extra 25% of their gifts from HMRC ICharits"esl
Our income from leth.ng the chuich for various events came to £12,473 during ihe year, falling back from £16,333 in
2Q23.
Outgoing unrestricted costs came lo £201,791 during the year, compared with £147.649 in 2023. One of the
princFpal ingredients of these costs is the diocesan parish contribution of £40.750. This covers Parish Ministry Costs
which include ministers. stipends and pension cosls, minislerial tr3inin& diocesan administration, maintenance of
vicarages, and national church contribution.
Two other key outgoing costs were £87.333 on general and building maintenance (£52,959 in 20231 and gas,
electricity and water £22,3881£13,603 in 20231.
Church insurance was £8.6781£6.648 in 20231.
The total of our Unrestricted Fund reduced from £210,573 al the start of the year to £162,293 at the 31st
December.
Moneys that we hold for specific purposes are mairhtained various Restricted Funds totalling £228,198 at the 31st
December. Details of the sums held in these funds are set out in Note 11 to the Financial Statements with a
summary of the purpose of each fund explained in Note 12.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on Iree rese￿eS (net current asselsl which equates to at least three monih5
unrestricted payments. In view of the capilal sum that we now hold in the Unrestricted Fund, this requirement is
more than adequately met.
It is our policy to keep most of Our funds in the COIF Charities Deposit Account. The capital in the Lady Chapel and
the TrLJmpets & Drums Restricted Funds is inve51ed in CBF Church of England investment shares and a proportion of
The Patterson Fund in COIF Charities Irhveslment Fund and M&G Charifund.

Structure, governance and management of the Charity
The Parochial Church Council IPCCI is registered with the Charity Commission as required by the Charities Act
2011. Its governing document is the Parochial Church Councils IPowersl Measure 1956.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Bartholomew's
the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, a551Stant licensed clergy, churchwardens. Deanery and
General Synod representatives. and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the
electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our se￿ice5 / members of the congregation are encouraged to
register on ihe elettoral roll and stand for election to ihe PCC. The PCC member5 are responsible for making
decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of
the PCC are to be spent. New members receive inits.al trair)ing into the workings of the PCC. We try to ensure a
balance of skills and experience where possible.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE PCC OF ST BARTHOLOMEW BRIGHTON
Thi5 is my report to the Parochial Church Coyn(il IPCCI of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Bartholomew. Brighton. on the
annual report lor the year ended 31st December 2024 set out on pages 7 to 15.
Respective responsibili￿e$ of trustees and examiner
The PCC members are responsible lor the preparation of the annual reports. The PCC members consider that an audit is not
required lor this year Under sechon 144 01 the Charities Act 20111-the Charities Act'l and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
to follow the procedure5 laid down in the general Oirettions given by the Charity Cornrnis5ion (under section 145
(Sllbl ol thE Charities Act. and
ro state whether particular matters have corne to myattention.
Ba51s of Independent examlnerfs statemènt
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Direcnons given by the Charity Commission. An examination
includes 3 review ol the accounting records kept by ihe charity and a comp3ri50n of the accounts presented with those
records. It also inclvdes consideration ol any unusual items or disclosures in the account5. and seeking explanations from
the trustee5 concerning any such marters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts preseni a 'true and fairf view and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that
in. any mareria1 respect, the requirements..
to keep accountin8 records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act: and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of
the Charities Act have not been met-
or to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached.
