## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Parochial Church Council shares with the Rector, the Revd. Andrew Norris, in deciding upon the 'policy' of the parish by which it is appointed to 'co-operate with the Incumbent in promotion in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church' (PCC Measure 1956); pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. To this end the vision of the parish is Sharing God's Love in the Community. 

The three churches of St. Mary, St. Faith and St. Francis provide for great breadth and variety both in worship and opportunity for serving the communities that make up the parish. This is also expressed through the ministry at St. Luke’s which is under the oversight of the parish and serves the growing Royal Haslar community. 

The PCC has maintenance responsibilities for the three churches of St. Mary, St. Faith and St. Francis along with the Parish Centre, The Brodrick Hall, The Junior Sailing Club and St. Mark’s Churchyard. All the buildings and fabric are well maintained. On behalf of the PCC the District Church Committee oversees the care of both St. Francis Church and St. Faith’s Church. Management groups support the PCC in the care of The Parish Centre, The Brodrick Hall, the Sailing Club and St. Mark’s Churchyard so that they can effectively serve the wider community of the parish and Gosport. The PCC is grateful to 'The Friends of St. Mary’s' for all the support they afford towards the maintenance of the Parish Church. 

The PCC has had responsibility as employer towards the following staff: the Director of Music, the Parish Administrator, the Communications Administrator, the Facilities Manager and the Baby & Toddler Group Leader. 

## **Achievements and Performance:** 

There were 174 (-131) parishioners on the Electoral Roll. 

Church Attendance from the annual Diocesan Statistics for Mission returns: 

The parish's usual worship in person attendance in 2025 was 170 adults and 17 under 16's. All services were stewarded by the Churchwardens,  Sidesmen and Lay Worship Leaders for whom training was provided. 

The following ceremonies were conducted during 2025: 

Weddings & Blessings 6 Baptisms & Thanksgivings 13           Funerals 25

## **PCC Review of the Year** 

The PCC met six times in person during 2025 where the average level of attendance was over 80 per cent. 

The Standing Committee met six times; reports of which were received by the PCC. The other working groups and committees of the PCC were: Finance, Pastoral, Parish Centre Management, Brodrick Hall Management, St. Francis' District Church Committee, St. Faith’s Committee, the Junior Sailing Club Executive, the St. Luke’s Advisory Group, The Parish Centre Regeneration Group, the General Data Protection Regulation Group, the St. Mark’s Churchyard heritage group plus the Finance Recovery Group. 

Paramount importance was placed by the PCC upon ensuring that all procedures surrounding the Safeguarding of Children and Vulnerable Adults were implemented, along with attention being given to risk assessments plus health and safety. These included appropriate and ongoing training regarding safeguarding, food hygiene and for those involved in hosting services and events. The PCC received confidential reports in respect of Safeguarding and complaints within the parish.  The PCC were grateful for the guidance of the Diocesan Safeguarding team to whom they delegated responsibility for the submission of Serious Incident Reports to the Charity Commission when required.  The PCC agreed to appoint a parish Deputy Safeguarding Office as part of a Safeguarding team, including the incumbent and advised by the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser for Gosport Deanery. 

The PCC are guided by their General Data Protection Legislation (GDPR) leads whilst Safer Recruitment guidelines lead to the provision of 'role descriptions' for all parish voluntary roles. GDPR guidelines for Electoral Roll membership including storage of personal details, contact and photograph permissions were followed. 

The major ongoing project of the PCC is the Regeneration of the Parish Centre with the aim of building a new centre for the benefit of the community. The PCC's purpose that a new centre should be a 'servant' and add much of value to the lives of people in the wider community. To this end the Parish Centre Regeneration Project invested in a new Car Park roofing with Solar PV panels and battery storage for electricity in 2025.   This was paid from the sums which have been raised for the project by the endeavours of the Regeneration team.   The Plan B plans for the project were submitted to Gosport Borough Council, and they were approved by the Planning Committee.  This remains a most significant project and whilst the work of the new centre has been the focus the evident spin off has been the breadth of community involvement with so many people supporting the regeneration. Through 2025 fundraising activities continued to add much social and community value. The PCC is very thankful to both the voluntary and professional teams for the work and expertise they offered to this significant infrastructure project for our community. 

The PCC were pleased to have seen the great gains for young people through the Overseas Partnership with R-Labs Tanzania focussing on street children in Iringa, Tanzania.  ‘Grow Street’ is a unique partnership with Alverstoke Parish through Naomi Rouse who grew up in Alverstoke and left this parish for Tanzania over 20 years ago.  Fundraising and gifts have continued to support the significant work among the young people.  The PCC are very grateful for all this support and generosity in favour of our overseas partner. In addition to this £1,215 was raised 

5 



for Christian Aid through the annual and special appeals, this was encouragingly up by £433 from 2024. These sums were paid directly to Christian Aid, so are not reported in these accounts. 

Revd Paul Pope continued to serve as Stipendiary Assistant Curate.  Paul settled into Alverstoke Parish during 2025 and, through serving his Title in this training role, Paul has been involved in all aspects of parish ministry.   Paul was ordained as a priest in June 2025. 

Lizzie Sykes-Little has continued as the parish sponsored Ordinand through her training at Cuddesdon Theological College.   Through the year Lizzie led worship and preached in the parish as part of her assessed course.  Lizzie anticipates ordination in 2026. 

Parish Home Groups continued to meet throughout the year.  In being foundational to our church life, the home groups enable about 110 people stay connected together in fellowship, prayer and discipleship. 

The parish worked closely with our local schools during 2025 where members of the congregation serve among the staff or as governors. Six schools truly value the ministry of our 'Open The Book' assemblies team. All the 6 primary schools visited our churches through the year for different Festivals and celebrations, learning experiences and at the Christmas Tree Festival.  Challenges remain in terms of providing 11 Foundation Governors and Ex-Officio Governorship to the church schools of the parish.   The CofE schools are the Leesland CE Federation (2 schools: infant and junior) and Alverstoke CE Junior School. 

The vital work of our three Baby & Toddler Groups continued through 2025 under the session leadership of Natasha Mason. Messy Church continued to meet in St. Mary’s and at the Parish Centre along with the Sunday Kids Alive groups. The Open the Book team has continued to visit 6 primary schools to lead assemblies/collective worship.  All these activities rely upon the regular commitment of a significant team of volunteers which, on Sundays, impacts their own participation in worship.  To them and for their continued support we are very grateful for the ministries they perform on behalf of the whole parish.  This extends to our other groups with young people such as the newer PLC (Power & Light Company) for KS3 youth; The Junior Choir Singing Club which has grown and The St. Mary’s Junior Sailing Club. The PCC thanks all who give themselves to serve families, children and young people in and through these ministries. 

The ministry of music continued to grow and bring great blessing.  Paul Pilott our Director of Music, Organist and Choirmaster has nurtured the choir back to full strength through the 'monthly' full choral evensongs. The Junior Choir has also grown and is confidently singing at Church Alive Communion and Choral Evensong.  We’re blessed by the music Worship Group which sustains our contemporary music at Church Alive. We’re grateful for the contemporary musical leadership of Anne Beazley and Andrew Cook along with all the musicians and vocalists who keep music in worship alive in partnership with Paul Pilott. The orchestra with Paul Pilott plays monthly at Church Alive and at Christmas services. 

The PCC are grateful to the Parish Centre staff (Kate Warstone – Administrator, Rachel Pipe – Communications) serving from the parish office.  They have extended elements within their roles in support of the Regeneration Project and to the Rector.  The weekly mailing now has 

6 



a weekly reach of over 1000 people and the social media pages an even larger community. About 70 paper magazines are also produced for those who do not access online media.  The office staff have worked hard to help our venues serve our wider community.  The Parish Centre has seen a strong uptake and growth in bookings during 2025. Each of our buildings enjoying good use for the benefit of the church and parish community. 

The role of Facilities Manager held by Graham Bell proved to be very effective in favour of our venues.  We were pleased to extend Graham’s role beyond his initial contract.  Graham has worked tirelessly in support of our buildings and plant.  His is a strategic role in respect of our responsibility towards 5 buildings and 7 sites to which he has brought his expertise and wisdom whilst affording much support to the different groups that care for our buildings. Graham has helped drive forward our planning around the Parish Centre and oversaw the delivery of the car park and roofing/solar enhancements. 

Kate Warstone continued as Deputy Warden at St. Faith’s in which voluntary role she has given a lead to the promotion of St. Faith’s and its pioneering servanthood at the heart of Leesland.  This includes the ongoing work of the St. Faith’s Hub (a creative drop-in, warm space, food bank, clothing swap, with crafts and pastoral care) and Chill n Chat.  The need of this Hub and the other expressions of service at St. Faith’s are demonstrating the vitality of the church at the heart of the community.   The Chatting Faith initiative has evolved into a Families Sunday Breakfast with storytelling, simple prayer, breakfast, craft and activity. Through the Hub and activities St. Faith’s has become a strategic partner and servant within the Leesland area.  It is a growing ministry which has been funded through the grants that Kate has obtained.  Thank you Kate and the dedicated team for inspiring, serving and working hard for this work of pioneering in Leesland. 

Through 2025 the role of the Treasurer continued to be ‘shared’ with a small finance team. Through the year the team continued to focus on finance recovery and on our investments. We’re grateful to Peter Ford (accounts), Kay Howard (receipts/gift aid and named Treasurer) and Kim Beazley (investments/strategy) for this hard work. The finance team also incorporates the sub-fund treasurers of St. Francis (Bev Harris), St. Faith’s plus St. Luke’s (Mark Trasler), Brodrick Hall (Graham Collins), Parish Centre plus Parish Centre Regeneration and the Organ Fund (Peter Ford),  Junior Sailing Club (Shiona & Rob Heron), St. Mark’s Churchyard Cemetery (Peter Newell), Choir Fund (Jean Morgan) and Flower Guild (Sue Craven)– to them all, the ‘chairs’ and those who serve on these various committees the PCC wish to express our thanks. 

The PCC are grateful to all our direct employees for their hard work and diligence through 2025.  For our staff employed by the PCC - Kate our Administrator, Rachel at Communications, Paul as St. Mary’s 'Organist & Director of Music', Natasha our 'Baby & Toddler Group Leader', Graham our Facilities Manager; we are grateful and have been blessed by them. They served us as employees beyond the call of duty and offer their work as an expression of ministry; to them the PCC are very thankful. The offer of the NEST pension scheme is available to our paid staff. 

The Brodrick Hall site hosts the Gosport District Scout HQ which is leased from the PCC. St. Mary’s Church hosts a EE mobile telecoms mast and a new lease was agreed in 2022.  The PCC are exploring the use of the Brodrick Hall with the local outdoor pursuits company

‘GoSport’ who have become the main hirers of the building over the last few years. 

In 2025 the parish welcomed to our ministry team Revds Elizabeth Groves and Angela Johnson who, with Paddy Trasler as Reader, are those with the Bishops (PTO) Permission to Officiate among us.   For the pastoral friendship they offer and worship they host we are very grateful.   Revd Amanda Collinson has also ‘come back to her home parish’ with her family whilst she serves as Chaplain to Bishop Jonathan.  Our congratulations were due to Amanda when she was made a Canon of the Cathedral in 2025.  The parish is also faithfully helped by Revds Ian Rutherford and Phil Hiscock who officiate at the monthly communion in St. Luke’s, Haslar.  Our former lay and ordained ministers who previously had PTO, Diana Dow and Humphrey Prideaux, have now fully ‘retired’ from the ministries that they generously offered for many years in the parish. 

Evie James has continued as our parish Pastoral Chaplain, and she leads a growing team of pastoral assistants with visits to 9 care/nursing homes and to older people in their own homes.  The team works in pairs in leading worship in different care homes.  This ministry is flourishing in our care homes with some 50 communicants each month whilst new doors keep being opened to the team of volunteers – thank you. 

Some 200 voluntary roles are offered to our parish community.  Be that with weekly roles through to one-off events such as being Festival Makers at the very successful Christmas Tree Festival that was enjoyed by 4500 people at the end of 2025.  Thanks go to the whole CTF team who were guided again by Rob Hamilton.  Similarly, the Michaelmas Fayre events at St. Mary’s attract some 2000 people during the day with the games, music, refreshments in the church and grounds.  Across the parish for 200 or so volunteers we give thanks as they express the frontline ministry of Christ in our community.  It is this offering of ministry through every member which is the true expression of our worship and life as a church across this parish. In addition to this is all the extra witness that is continually offered in acts of service by every member in their daily life, home and workplace - and that volunteering offered by others in the past. This is what expresses the gifts and hallmarks of God's kingdom in serving and transforming lives and society in love, mercy and justice. All that is offered is truly moving and a cause for great thankfulness by the PCC and across our church fellowship and community. 

There are friends who’ve served so actively and faithfully over the years and 2025 saw the sad loss of a number of those with whom we’ve been privileged to share in the fellowship of the church.  We miss them dearly as we remember and thank the Lord for the privilege of being the Body of Christ together with them.

## **PCC Financial Review 2025** 

Careful stewardship of resources remains a priority for the PCC par�cularly when facing challenges of repair costs of St Mary’s Church, whilst suppor�ng the long-term community project to regenerate the Parish Centre, along with con�nuing and expanding ministry. 

Income for the year across PCC and Sub Funds was £376,150 

The second part of a two-year Grant ring fenced for Families Work was received early in the year. Due to the loss of a part �me School Lead and Families worker there remains £26,000 to carry forward suppor�ng future years. 

The core income from Planned Giving, Collec�ons and Appeals and income from Funerals has fallen again this financial year.  Income from Weddings remains steady.  There was a successful claim for return of VAT paid from the Government Listed Buildings Grant, the Christmas Tree Fes�val raised £7,000 and The Friends of St Mary’s supported works on the Tower Clock and Vestry Rail.  Support from the congrega�on and wider community was sought for Scaffolding Work to carry out roof repairs externally and water damage internally. 

We remain grateful for all dona�ons and Legacies.  The PCC con�nues to encourage contribu�ons via the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS).  This regular income stream can be infla�on proofed, is invaluable for budge�ng and the most efficient in administra�on terms for processing Gi� Aid at no cost to the PCC.  Legacies enable the fulfilment of major projects and we hope that members of the Church family will consider leaving a Legacy in the future. 

Expenditure has increased to £568,944 due mainly to the comple�on of Phase 1 of the Parish Centre Regenera�on.  The core running costs of St Mary’s Church fell despite repair costs for scaffolding, internal repairs and external inves�ga�ons cos�ng £8,600 to date.  Further costs are expected in 2026.  Due to these an�cipated costs, Portsmouth Diocese agreed a reduc�on to the Parish Ask whilst s�ll above the newly calculated costs.  Staff are paid in line with the Real Living Wage. 

The church family con�nued to support the overseas partnership with RLABS, Tanzania enabling dona�ons of £3,000 this year.  This is given to improve the lives of street children through GROW. 

The church community support other home missions through sub funds and the development of community space in the Regenera�on of the Parish Centre. 

Overall, the consolidated accounts show an opera�ng loss of £192,974 against a surplus of £18,069 in 2024.  As above this is due in the main to completed Phase 1 works on the Parish Centre. 

## **PCC Reserves and Investment Policy** 

It has been a disappoin�ng year for PCC Investments with Fixed Assets revalua�on showing a fall of £15,127 (-3.8%).  These Investments are now valued at £380,742 and produced interest/dividend payments across the year of £11,076 (avg.2.9%) 

There is also a deposit fund of £42,367 which produced £1,895 in interest (4.5%) 

All of these investments are with CBF Church of England Funds managed by Churches, Chari�es, and Local Authori�es (CCLA) in line with PCC Policy 

It is PCC Policy to maintain a balance of reserve funds which equates to at least 6 weeks unrestricted payments to cover any emergency situa�ons that may arise from �me to �me.  Based on the years accounts that would be £27,006.  At year end, St Mary’s Alverstoke PCC had £33,177 in instant access bank accounts.  A further £48,322 is held in a 32-day no�ce account.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

This report on the financial statements for the PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary's Alverstoke for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on the following pages, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the regulations') and s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('The Act'). 

## **Respective Responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner** 

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulations and section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition, issued from the Finance Division of the Archbishops' Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. 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 present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in Section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below. 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention: 

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- ●the accounting records were not kept in accordance with s.130 of the Charities Act; or 

- ●the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts as set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 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. 

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **ST MARYS ALVERSTOKE PCC** 

## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011, with the exception of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

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. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Assessment of Going Concern** 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Cash Flow Statement** 

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement. 

## **Changes to accounting estimates** 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. 

## **Material prior period errors** 

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. 

## **Funds** 

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowments was established. 

Restricted Funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be extended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or the bequest, and (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. 

Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate are received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

13 



## **ST MARYS ALVERSTOKE PCC** 

## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **Gifts in Kind** 

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the PCC or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the PCC. Gifts in kind for use by the PCC are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

## **Donated Services and Facilities** 

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the PCC is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the PCC of the service or facility received. 

## **Volunteer Help** 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report. 

## **Government Grants** 

The charity did not receive any government grants in this financial year. 

## **Resources Expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for Mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for Gross. 

## **Liability Recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the PCC to pay out resources. 

## **Governance Costs** 

Includes costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## **Redundancy cost** 

The PCC made redundancy payments totalling £91 during the reporting period. 

## **Pensions** 

The PCC operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. 

## **Offsetting** 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

## **ST MARYS ALVERSTOKE PCC** 

## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **2. TANGIBLE FIXED AND INVESTMENT ASSETS** 

No Value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the church wardens 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. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31st December 2025. 

## **Fixed assets -** 

To ensure the properties held are reflected in the financial statements, a notional value has been attributed to the Parish Centre of £100,000 & the Brodrick Hall of £100,000.

## **NOTES TO THE AGGREGATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **10. PAYMENTS TO TRUSTEES, PCC MEMBERS AND RELATED PARTIES** 

No payments other than reimbursements for charitable purchases paid personally were made to trustees, PCC members or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee, PCC member or any person connected with them. No expenses were paid to Trustees or PCC members. 

## **11. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The Council actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Council have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **12. RESERVES POLICY** 

The Council have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity’s needs. This is based on the charity’s size and the level of financial commitments held. The Council aims to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Council will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.  Further detail is provided in the Trustees Annual Report. 

## **13. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Council acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the Council has achieved this are provided in the annual report included. The Council confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding which activities the Council should undertake.
