## **2. Trustees' Annual Report** 

The Trustees of St Peter’s Church have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024. This report and the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with “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). 

St Peter's Church is situated in De Beauvoir Town, Hackney, London, N1.  It is part of the Diocese of London within the Church of England. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

- a. Policies and objectives 

St Peter ’ s PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Vicar and other parish clergy to promote the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical within the parish. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the whole church building, including the crypt and the parish house at 16 De Beauvoir Road. 

The church relies substantially upon the commitment, enthusiasm and 

professionalism of many volunteers, both within the church and from the wider community and is profoundly grateful to them. 

- b. Public Benefit Statement 

In producing their assessment of the benefit to the public provided by the charity, the trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefits, Charities and Public benefit. 

- c. Activities undertaken and achievements 

The church is a thriving place of worship. As a parish church it remains a focus of much community activity and also attracts a wider geographical spread of worshippers. Inclusive congregational events include Lent programmes, Christmas carols, regular morning and evening prayer, compline and other services alongside other events such as the Petertide celebration, Assumption lunch and occasional fundraisers. 

Our outreach activities include the warm weekdays project, Saturday ‘Going Deeper’ services, hosting a monthly cost of living round table, and participating in a number of community forums. We support a number of charities through offering a refund on rental fees including Hackney Playbus, Happy Babies and Woven Gold choir providing support 

_Page 3_ 



for homeless people, mothers and young children and refugees, and for a number of addiction support groups. 

Our buildings are a valuable resource and are used for a wide range of mission based and community activities. 

_Page 4_ 



## **Achievements and performance** 

## a. Financial review 

The PCC ’ s Funds are divided into General, Restricted and Endowment Funds. Restricted Funds can be used only for the purpose for which they are established and we benefit from income (for general use) derived from the Endowment Funds. Total general income in 2024 was £223,400 (2023: £207,842) including £33,371 (2023: £37,644) planned giving by the congregation. Loose plate collections, donations and Gift Aid supplement this giving.  We are grateful for the generosity of those who donate.  Income from letting church and crypt premises was £87,105 (2023: £67,332) and we work with others such as Sharesy and Peerspace to help maximise the use of these premises. 

We also benefit from the huge and irreplaceable voluntary input from a wide section of the community into our various activities. 

Our contribution of £50,000 (2023: £50,000) to the Common Fund is planned to increase over the next five years. 

## b. Going concern 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## c.  Reserves policy 

Reserves are designed to act as a cushion against uncertainties about future risks and costs. The major uncertainties are: maintenance of the fabric of this historic Victorian church and crypt; possible fluctuations in the letting income; the need for continuing investment in staff and maintenance in the crypt space and possible loss of income from 16 De Beauvoir Road if it is used for other purposes such as a house for service. 

The PCC considers that free reserves of six months' expenditure are prudent and reviews this policy annually. Total general expenditure in 2024 was £197,252 (2023: £215,757).  At the balance sheet date, total unrestricted (general & designated) funds stood at £150,458 (2023: £122,917).   This is higher than the PCC ’ s reserves policy requires, providing a cushion for additional expenditure anticipated in coming years.

## d. Restricted funds. 

These include money set aside for our recently appointed Community Organiser and the musical support of choral scholars during worship as well as continuing support for two refugee families in the parish.  Total restricted income in 2024 was £33,084 (2023: £44,279) and total restricted expenditure in 2024 was £32,172 (2023: £30,520).  Tribute is paid to the generosity of bodies granting us this income and to the people who make this possible. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

- a. Constitution 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1130111). 

- b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees 

The method of appointment of Church Wardens and PCC members is set out in the Church Representation rules. 

- c. Organisational structure and decision making 

All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and at the Annual Parish Church Meeting held on 7 April 2024 there were 197 (2023: 197) members. 

Day to day management is carried out by the incumbent, church wardens and PCC members. 

The PCC carries out its work through regular meetings and also through subcommittees and teams with delegated tasks. The Standing Committee has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings. 

All buildings are fully insured and regular fire inspections held. A safeguarding policy is in place and the PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to House of Bishops ’guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. 

## d. Risk management 

The PCC members have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the church and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. 

_Page 6_ 



## **Plans for future periods** 

It is recognised that community involvement (including fundraising) and obtaining grants will – be vital to rebuilding the church in the years ahead both financially and socially.  This is an ongoing task (with some success assisted by new grant funding in 2024).  We shall continue to build links with the local community through personal contact and the widening programme of events in our building.   We shall be sad to say goodbye to Fr Simon Cuff during 2025 but look forward to welcoming a new incumbent as soon as possible after the end of August 2025.

## **St Peter’s Church, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011, Charities SORP (FRS102) and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements 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. 

## **Cashflow Statement** 

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow Statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000. 

## **Income Recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

## **Donations** 

Donations are accounted for gross when received. Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. 

## **Grant Income** 

Grant income is recognised when the amount can be measured reliably and there is a clear entitlement and certainty of receipt. Grants received which are subject to pre-conditions for entitlement or use specified by the donor which have not been met at the year-end are included in creditors. 

## **Legacies** 

Legacies are accounted for when probate has been completed, the amount of the legacy can be reliably quantified and the conditions of the legacy are within the control of the church. 

## **Rent and Investment Income** 

Rent and investment income is included in the accounts in the year in which it is receivable. 

## **Expenditure Recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

_Page 12_ 



## **Costs of Raising funds** 

These are the costs of managing investments and giving facilitation costs. 

## **Charitable Activities** 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the PCC and are allocated to appropriate subheadings dependent on the underlying activity. 

## **Governance and Support Costs** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources e.g. by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage 

## **Description of Funds** 

**Unrestricted funds** are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report. 

## **Restricted funds** comprise of two elements: 

- a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest 

b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

**Endowment funds** are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the financial statements 

_Page 13_ 



## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a) & (C) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available. In this case, the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church’s inventory in any case. 

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity** 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost, or else, for gifts in kind, at a reasonable estimate of their market valuation on receipt. 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows: 

- Land Nil 

- • Fixtures and Fittings 20 years • Computers 3 years 

## **Investment Property** 

In accordance with FRS102, investment properties are carried at their fair value and this is considered by the PCC annually and the aggregate surplus or deficit is recognised in the Endowment Fund. No depreciation is provided on investment properties. 

## **Fiscal Investments** 

Investments are initially stated at cost. Subsequently they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. 

## **Employee benefits** 

The PCC operates defined contribution plans for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the PCC pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the PCC  has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the PCC in an independently administered fund. The PCC uses the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) for this purpose.
