Structure, Governance and Management
Appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules, with the additional limitation, passed at the APCM, that elected PCC members serve for a maximum of two continuous terms of 3 years, thereafter a person has to stand down for at least one year. (This does not apply to the Deanery and Diocesan Synod representatives who are elected on a regular 3-year cycle).
Objectives and Activities
Christ Church PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting the objects of the charity, namely ‘promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church’. As a community we are to be:
ð Valued……loved into the family of God
Each of us is adopted into the family of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). This family is the best family in the world, where we are accepted as we are but loved too much to leave us where we are. As his children, we want to express the family likeness of love to each other.
ð Restored……to our original design
We are all broken and fall short of the people God designed us to be. The Good News is that as we walk in step with Jesus, we are being restored into our true selves; in this life and ultimately when we are resurrected into eternal life.
- ð Gracious…..in living together
As an outpost of heaven, we are committed to each other in our brokenness, being kind and forgiving as we seek to be real and authentic.
- ð Courageous…..to share the Good News
Jesus equips us in a lost and broken world to step out boldly and share his invitation to follow him, that people might know the LIFE he offers.
There are four distinctives about Christ Church:
Word & Spirit: We are committed to the Word and the Spirit together – wanting to give full reign to both the authority of scripture and the power of the Spirit. We believe it important to hear God’s Word explained and applied vividly to everyday life, with the Spirit bringing revelation and empowering us to follow Jesus. Our prayer and worship are open to the gifts and leading of the Spirit. The end of our services allows space to invite the Spirit to come and transform us in response to the sermon, often through prayer ministry.
Community: We are a welcoming and grace-filled church, a prayerful and caring community of all ages. We encourage every member to belong to a Pastorate (mid-week group of 15 to 30 people meeting fortnightly) for community, discipleship and development of giftings. These gatherings are centred on food, worship, study of the bible (often related to the sermon series) and prayer for one another in smaller sub-groups. We also encourage everyone to be in a prayer triplet.
Mission: We seek to inspire and equip every member of the church to share their faith wherever they live and work. Our evangelism is primarily through friendship and Alpha. We have a heart for social transformation which has been given particular expression through our CAP centre and Besom.
Town role: We have a 7-day presence in the town centre, with our various ministries and missional businesses. We have a very positive relationship with the Borough Council and executive. This includes leading the town Remembrance Day Service at the memorial in the square, significant involvement in the Churches Together

Christ Church Woking – Annual Report for 2020
Good Friday Act of Witness and occasionally giving advice on religious matters at a civic level. We hold ‘Lark in the Square’ each year to bless those coming through the town centre. Our location provides a place for a spiritual response at times of national disaster, enabling people to seek God at those times. We support interfaith dialogue across Woking especially with the Muslim community.
The PCC has responsibility for the maintenance of the Parish Church, its associated offices and meeting rooms, plus 4 Orchard Drive which is used to house the Associate Vicar or Curate. Christ Church is run by employed staff, supported by volunteers whose contribution is unquantifiable but range from finance, flower arranging, PA operation, children’s and youth work, leading Pastorates, worship & music ministry, café, men and women’s groups, visitations etc.
Review of the year
2020 was a year of great change in the life of Christ Church, partly because of the beginning of my ministry as the new vicar in March 2020 and the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic (both my institution and the first lockdown happened in the same week!). Every single area of the ministry, mission and activities of Christ Church were significantly affected by the pandemic, as we adjusted to the challenges of the virus, seeking to continue with our mission and ministry as safely as we could in a very unfamiliar environment. We have experienced God’s goodness and provision throughout this time, enabling us to remain rooted in our vision, and strong as a community through a turbulent year.
Worship – As the pandemic began, we immediately faced the challenge of moving our Sunday worship services online. Initially the weekly pre-recorded service was broadcast on YouTube, thanks to the tireless and creative work of the worship team, ably led by Niall (our worship pastor). As we came out of lockdown, and restarted our gathered services, we were aware of the need to continue to provide online worship for those unable to gather due to shielding, and those wary of gathering due to the safety guidelines. For this reason, we installed a camera system in the church, enabling services to be broadcast live. This has given us much greater flexibility as the year progressed, as we were able to offer both in-person worship (when permitted), pre-recorded worship (when that was easier to provide), and live-broadcast worship. This more complicated pattern of worship has required a new ticketing system which Tracey (our administrator) set up and managed, ensuring that the congregation were safely seated each week and knew all the relevant government guidelines.
Youth and Children’s Ministry – much of the youth and children’s ministry had to adapt to be online, with a mixture of Sunday Zoom meetings and midweek Zoom hubs providing places to worship and connect. Just prior to lockdown, Pete (our youth pastor) took the youth group away for a residential weekend, which enabled the group to connect deeper with God and each other which was a highlight as we went into lockdown. When in-person worship has been allowed, the youth group has also been able to meet in-person by being masked and socially distanced. But it has not been possible to safely manage break out Kids Church groups, due to complex arrangements about household bubbles and the number of volunteers available to help. Instead, when the rules have permitted, we have provided weekly family services to enable parents and children to worship together until we can restart the groups. Zoe and Hannah (our Children’s Pastor and Assistant Children’s Pastor) have continued to provide creative input and ideas each week for the online service, the weekly family services, and more recently, Sunday morning Kids Church Zooms. The aim is to restart the youth and kids break out groups after Easter.
Outreach – this has been the area that has been particularly affected by the pandemic, with limited ability to get out and connect with people outside of our building and services. An Alpha Course was run just before the start of the pandemic, with a shorter online, mini-Alpha Course, Why Jesus? in the spring. Two Kintsugi Hope courses were run by Hilary Roberts for those wanting to process painful times in their lives, looking at how God redeems them and a Hope in Depression course was run online in early January. Our Easter services, happening just after the first lockdown, were very well attended, with Easter Sunday reaching over 1000 people. We were able to run a scaled back Christmas programme, having in-person carol services, Christingle, Crib and Christmas Eve and Day services, which were also broadcast online. This enabled a total congregation of around 600 to attend the carol services, around 400 to attend our Christingle services, in person and online, and a similar number over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.

Christ Church Woking – Annual Report for 2020
Our main ongoing Community Outreach through 2020 came through the work of the CAP (Christians Against Poverty) Centre , under the leadership of Sarah, our CAP Centre Manager, and through our connection with Maybury School . Sarah’s work at the CAP Centre relies heavily on the ability to meet people in their homes and go through paperwork, so the number of new clients has been very much reduced this year. In addition, with the generous furlough scheme on offer, many money worries are temporarily being held at bay. For this reason, for some of the year, the CAP ministry was scaled back as Sarah went on furlough. However, we expect this work to pick up considerably in the second half of 2021 year, as the lockdown recedes and the furlough scheme is withdrawn.
Through our connection with Maybury School , we have been able to provide food parcels for those on low incomes and free school meals. Later in the pandemic, we were able to provide laptops for those without digital connection for their home-schooling. The connection with Maybury School continues to be strong, and Zoe and Hannah were invited to do Christmas Assemblies for all the year groups in December. Sadly, due to the pandemic, we were unable to put on the Lark in the Square and Light Party events, as usual. We hope to run both of these in 2021, in some form, as rules permit.
Café, Conferencing and Bookshop – 2020 was a year of ups and downs for our businesses. Jane (our Operations Director) and Mark (our Finance Manager) worked tirelessly to adjust to the changing environment, including adapting to the complexities of the furlough schemes. We started off the year in a strong position, only to have to close our doors when the pandemic hit in March. We were able to open up again in July, with a huge amount of work done by the team to ensure we made the spaces safe by following the guidelines. The Café benefitted from the Government’s ‘Eat out to Help Out’ initiative in August. Come November, and another lockdown, the staff agreed to be furloughed again and with the exception of a few weeks of trading in December the businesses have had to remain closed into 2021. Our staff team, led by Sheila Hargreaves in the Café and Phil Perello in the Bookshop, have shown grace and resilience in the face of uncertainty and the team as a whole have looked out for each other. At the end of the year Adam Bond (our Conference Manager) left us and conferencing enquiries are being handled by Tracey and Jane until business picks up again. With the economy slowly opening up from April, and the rollout of the vaccines, we are praying that people’s confidence will be restored and trading picks up again over the summer. We are excited to see all that God has instore this year, and once again being able to reach out to the community, welcoming them in, and being there to pray with those who need it.
Buildings Management – obviously an ongoing challenge has been making sure our building, and any activities, are compliant with the ever-changing rules, regulations and guidelines (from both the Government and the diocese) governing Covid Safe spaces. Chris Beresford, our Buildings Manager, has been the point-person for our health and safety compliance, ensuring all the risk assessments that have been needed for the various services, activities, and businesses have been completed. His expertise in this area has been invaluable as we have had to navigate an ever-changing landscape.
Global Mission Support – we continued to financially and prayerfully support a wide range of missionaries and mission organisations, both those based overseas and working within Woking. Through 2020 it became apparent that the formula used for calculating Mission Giving each year needed to be reviewed. The formula was calculated by setting aside 5% of the year’s unrestricted giving (calculated as a running total through the year) and by giving the Sunday collections to the missionary and organisation being prayed for that month. Sunday collections dropped considerably over 2020 as services were cancelled and our giving went entirely online. It also became clear that month-by-month collections always varied considerably, depending on the attendance, number of Sundays and services in any month. This meant how much we gave to each missionary/organisation was unpredictable and could change through the year as the final total for unrestricted giving was often not known until April the following year. In Nov 2020 the PCC adopted a new formula for giving to Global Mission with two strands. Firstly, in November of each year, 5% of that year’s unrestricted giving would be set aside as a budget item for the next year’s Mission Giving budget. We called this the First Fruits Fund . It would not be changed or altered (up or down) and would be for our Mission Partner Families. Our core missionaries, with deep links to CCW, would know their support in advance and be better able to budget. Secondly, a dedicated Gift Day will be held in February each year, to raise a target sum (roughly the same amount as the First Fruits Fund ) to support our Mission Partner Organisations with grants. This fund, The Isaiah Fund, will be set-aside to support mission organisations with any surplus going to our mission families and wider mission in Woking. Sunday collections will still go to the Isaiah Fund , but will be no longer tied to the mission of the month. This new
-5-

formula is already on course in 2021 to increase our giving to our mission partners than we have in previous years.
Gateway
The vision for our Project continues to be:
-
Open up the building to be more accessible and visible to the public – they will see what goes on inside!
-
Provide much needed additional space in the form of additional multi-purpose rooms to house our growing Youth, Children and other ministries.
• Deliver an improved conferencing and events offering, refurbished Café and Bookshop.
- Refresh our ageing heating / cooling and other vital systems to create a more sustainable, comfortable and cost effective environment
Woking Borough Council granted planning permission for our proposals in January 2020, valid for 5 years. The next key steps were to finalise the interior design aspects and apply for Faculty permission from the Church Authorities. However, as a result of the Covid pandemic, the team agreed it was prudent to pause the project since there will very likely be a need to re-assess requirements as we emerge into a post pandemic world. It’s not yet clear how conferencing and catering facilities might need to be adjusted to accommodate post-pandemic requirements. However, this pause is being balanced against the increasing need to refresh ageing building systems and mitigate the risk of a major system failure. Consequently, spend on the project during 2020 was minimal and all technical consultants were stood down. We expect to resume the project mid-way during 2021, once the post pandemic landscape is clearer, and consider how it can best be phased.
Finally, looking ahead – every church family goes through its fair share of change each year. We knew that in 2020 we would be saying goodbye to our Senior Curate, Pippa Ford. With her search for an incumbency delayed by lockdown, we were blessed to be able to have Pippa with us until the end of the year when she was appointed Vicar of St Michael’s Camberley. This has meant that the staff team has reduced in size, as we have also said goodbye to Phil Barlow, our St Mellitus Ordinand, who is now Curate at All Saints New Haw. Both Pippa and Phil were deeply rooted in the life of the church and had significant pastoral gifts which will be missed. It will be a key challenge in 2021 to rebuild our pastoral teams and support networks, when we expect pastoral needs to grow as people adjust to the challenges of coming out of lockdown. Another key challenge will be rebuilding our youth and children’s ministries as regular, gathered times together, to grow our young disciples. Enabling families, children and young people to re-establish regular rhythms and habits of worship is such a key part of CCW’s vision and mission. We also plan to think more deeply about how we as a church celebrate and encourage the wonderful racial and cultural diversity we have at CCW, ensuring we are being the welcoming and inclusive “Church of All Nations” we want to be. Thea (our curate) is taking forward this work with a group formed out of the Let’s Talk About Race planning group. Finally, whilst often the pandemic has meant there are things we can’t do, there will be new opportunities for mission and ministry which will emerge as we come out of lockdown. CCW needs to be ready to show the love of Christ anew in this new season, ready to grow faith where it has weakened (or interest has been stirred), ready to bring hope (to those battling with despair, discouragement or depression), and ready to show love to our community as we learn again what it means to be Christ’s Church – by loving God, loving our neighbours as ourselves.
Safeguarding
-
We take the safety of children and vulnerable adults extremely seriously.
-
This year we have focused on training and re-training our staff and volunteers.
-
Training this year focussed on new PCC members and refresh training for others.
-
The Christ Church Safeguarding Team meets regularly and works closely with the Diocesan safeguarding team.
-
We ensure that DBS checks are carried out for all roles that require it and that the Safer Recruitment processes are followed for all staff and volunteers.

2020 attendance
2020 was an unusual year so it’s difficult to compare to previous years in the same way we have done before, due to lockdowns and changes in our pattern of services since re-starting so giving here average pre-Covid (January & February) figures and some post-lockdown figures for 2020.
January through to mid-March was our usual pattern of services, although attendance started dropping in March, in the 2 weeks before lockdown.
Average attendance for January - February 2020 (pre-Covid)

During the first lockdown we had online services only, then re-opened services in church from late July onwards. By the autumn we were running 3 services in church plus the online service, so giving here the average October figures for the services we were running at that time.

Financial Review
The financial statements continue to be consolidated as recommended under Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) and give a holistic view of the activity of the Church.
In summary, in 2020 the Coronavirus Pandemic severely limited the business activities of the church resulting in a decrease in revenues, some of which were budgeted to support the ongoing ministry of the church. The PCC reacted to this change of circumstances, redrawing the budget and cutting costs where possible to ensure the finances of the church remained secure. The generosity of the congregation in faithfully maintaining donations throughout this period has enabled the church to record a small net increase in free reserves.
Total income fell from £1,325,024 in 2019 to £874,916 in 2020.
Income from donors decreased by £89,357 to £678,830 (2019, £768,187). Regular unrestricted donation income has remained at a similar level to 2019 with the fall in unrestricted donations almost equal to the value of a large single donation received in 2019 that did not repeat in 2020. The fall in restricted donations was chiefly due to a reduced level of receipts for the Gateway project.
In 2019 income from legacies was £52294. This fell to £231 on 2020.
Income from operating activities has been severely impacted by the pandemic with all businesses closed for most of 2020. In total income decreased by £309,441 (62%) This breakdown by business is as follows: café: £107,965 (55%), bookshop: £99463 (59%), conferencing: £102805 (77%).
Grants of all kinds decreased during the year to £63,759 (2019, £72,254). The 2019 figure was inflated by leaving gifts (funds raised by the congregation for this purpose) to Peter Harwood and Andy Reid totalling £6,542. Gifts of a similar nature totalled £2,393 in 2020. A fund totalling £4,469 was raised at short notice by members of the church to assist with the funeral costs of Mrs Mags McLeod. The PCC continues to contribute around 6% of its unrestricted donation income, £30,479 (£32,637 2019) to charitable causes. Additionally, out of unrestricted funds the PCC authorised a grant of £3,000 to Phil Barlow. The combined grants awarded in 2020, £61,366 represents 11% of the total of unrestricted donation income and donations for charitable causes.
Expenditure on activities directly relating to the work of the Church decreased by £294,315 to £736,231 (2019: £1,031,581). The majority of this decrease relates to the decrease in activity of the bookshop, café and conferencing businesses and amounted to £190,062. No staff were made redundant in 2020. The church was unable to engage in many of the activities it would usually perform and this enabled £34,290 of savings in comparison to 2019. All of the staff were furloughed at some point during 2020 and this heavily contributed to £18,489 staff cost savings. The building was closed for much of 2020 enabling saving in running costs and this together with a halt in all but essential maintenance work facilitated savings of £49,080.
Net incoming resources were £76,003 (2019: £219,097) after tax.
Net current assets of the group have increased to £1,465,025 (2019: £1,364,569). Unrestricted undesignated funds have increased to £802,482 (2019: £776,767). The group had free reserves (Unrestricted, undesignated funds excluding fixed assets and Gateway prepayments) of £268,204 (2019: £255,617) at the year end, the equivalent of 138 days Unrestricted Expenditure (2019: 94 days). In 2013 the PCC adopted a revised Reserves policy to hold free reserves in the range 30 to 50 days Unrestricted Expenditure (formerly 90 days).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you were:
-
the members of the PCC’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the members of the PCC have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The members of the PCC are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit

As explained more fully in the Statement of Responsibilities of Members of the PCC set out on page ten, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the members of the PCC are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members of the PCC either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with members of the PCC and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, data protection, employment, child protection and safeguarding, food hygiene and environmental and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions:
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

- ensure that expenditure on the leasehold improvements is in agreement with third party documentation, and specifically with the main contractors agreed tender documentation and final account report.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation:
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Authority, and Surrey County Council.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the members of the PCC and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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 except for the re-valuation of certain fixed assets and include the results of the church and of its subsidiary company, Origin Books & Media Limited.

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The income into restricted funds is restricted by the donors
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in 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.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid donations is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.

Parochial Church Council of Christ Church, Woking
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Expenditure
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Activities directly relating to the work of the church
The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when payable.
Operating Leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of Financial Activities when incurred under the terms of the rental agreement.
Pensions
The church operates a stakeholder pension scheme, matching employee contributions up to 5% of salary. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the statement of financial activities .
Fixed Assets
Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.
Unconsecrated land and buildings
Unconsecrated land and buildings are recorded at cost, or, if acquired prior to January 1st 1995, at market value as at January 1st 1995. Depreciation is charged on buildings on a straight-line basis over the currently anticipated useful economic life of fifty years.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives by equal instalments with a full annual charge in the year of acquisition. Assets under £500 are not capitalised. The principle useful economic lives applied in calculating depreciation are as follows:
Freehold land and buildings Over 50 years Equipment Over 4 years Furniture and Fittings Over 10 years
I nvestments
Investments are valued at market value at the balance sheet date.
Current Assets
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
Taxation
Corporation tax is chargeable on the profit earned from the conferencing business.
