FINANCIAL REVIEWAND GOING CONCERN STATEMENT
Regular giving. together with GiftAid, met with expectations this year, albeit at a
lower total than in prevlous years. However. there was a significant shortfall in the
level of fund-raising income and also in 'one-off unrestricted donations.
Expenditure was essentially in line with budget, substantial tree pruning costs in the
churchyard were offset by lower maintenance and energy costs.
The General Fund recorded an operating deficit of £34.000 for the year, somewhat
higher than the original budgeted deficit of £27,000. This shortfall was met from
resetves.
The major issue facing us currently continues to be the extensive damp problems in
St. Johns chapel. A Fund of around £26,000 has been created. from donations and
intemal resources, toward these costs and applications for grant funding are now in
an advanced stage.
The Church Hall generated £43,000 of income in the year, principally from lettings.
This enabled a number of much needed maintenance and facilities projects to be
completed including flat roof and window repla￿rnents. floor resealing, decorating
works and a new set of chairs in an accessible storage system.
The Rukiga Fund continued to 8UPPOrt over 50 children through their education
years in Uganda, donating over £21.000. These donations and other support were
financed from regular sponsorship and fund ralsing activities.
The Ickenham Church News (ICN), our parish magazine, funded all its printing and
production costs from advertising revenue and recorded a modest surplus at the end
of the year.
The PCC have reviewed the church's financial position including projected income
and expenditure in the coming year, the level of cash and reserves together with the
system of financial management. A5 a result of this review, the PCC are of the
opinion that the church is well placed to manage its operatlonal and financial risks
suc￿$$fUlly. The PCC have a reasonable expectation that the church has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and
therefore Continues to adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing
annual accounts.
RESERVES
St. Giles is a medium sized church in a reasonably affluent area. Annual unrestricted
income is currently around £151,000 including £43.000 from church hall lettings.
The church currently employs one part time member of staff at a cost of £15,000 per
annum. The condition of the buildings is generally good for their age although
significant maintenance work is still required on the plaster work. external walls and
in St. Johns chapel. The church currently has general liquid reserves of £48.000.
A further £26000 is also set aside, specifically for St. Johns chapel.

The PCC discussed the following factors in arriving at their reserves policy:
Revenues are not increasing. and it is likely that reserves will not be able to
bridge the gap caused by any loss of revenue in 2025. Hence a balanced
budget in General Fund must be achieved.
Money should only be kept in reseNe for specific reasons- whilst the Bible
clearly indicates that we should not hoard, it is also clear that sensible
planning for known events and responsibility for others {including employees)
is important.
A wish to have six months running costs in cash reserves in case of a major
problem (£52k)
In addition to have six months. salary costs in ￿serve {£7k)
Of particular con￿rn is plasterwork in various parts of the church. Extensive
works on the external walls have taken Pla￿ already but further costs are
inevitable. A priority is the necessary repairs in St. Johns Chapel. Reserves
already set aside from internal resources will not be enough and so extensive
grant funding is required, with applications in an advanced stage.
The PCC have formulated a renewed Mission Action Plan. There is a general
wish that more should be spent on outreach in the communty. This includes
working with families, children, the lonely and isolated.
Policy:
It is the policy of this church to hold in reserves the equivalent of six months general
running costs and an additional six months, salary costs. It is also our policy to hold
an amount for agreed maintenance, including the works in St.Johns chapel, and
other costs which are expected to arise in the short term. Further to this, to hold a
reserve for our Mission Action Plan.
The PCC believe that, at present, we have £48,000 in reserves in respect of our
running costs and salaries. A further £25,000 is set aside towards the required
maintenance in St. Johns Chapel. Currently there are no further reserves to cover
the other categories mentioned above. The PCC are mindful of the need to cover the
effect of falllng revenue and also of the fact that the full amount required to cover th8
maintenance work will require a significant fund-raising effort. Therefore, the
allocation of these reserves will remain under regular review.

Church Workers Penslon Fund (CWPFI
St. Giles Church participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay
staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, ￿lch holds
the CWPF assets separately from th08e of the Employer and other participating
employers.
CWPF has sections:
1.The Defined Benefits Scheme
2.The Pension Builder Scheme, ￿lCh has ￿ subsections.,
a. A deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and,
b. A cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Penslon Bullder Scheme
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Penslon Bullder Classlc provides a pension, accumulated from Contributions pald
and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on temis set and
reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from lime to time. Discretionary
incréases may also b& added, d&pendlng on investment retums and other factors.
Pen3ion Builder 2014 Is a cash balance scheme that provldes a lump sum which
members u88 to provide b8nefils at retlrement. Penslon conlribullons are reGorded in
an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may b& added before retirement,
depending on investment returnB and other factors. The account, plus any bonuse5
declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There Is no sub-dlvlslon of as8els be￿n employ8rs In each sectron of the P8nslon
Bulldar Schom&.
The scheme18 ¢on8ldered to be a multiryemploy8r scheme as described in Sectlon 28
of FRS 102. Thls Is because it is not POS5ible to attribute the Pension Bullder
Sch8m8'5 assets and Ilablllties to $peclfic employers and means that contributions ar8
accounted for as if thè Schème were a deflned contrfbutlon Scheme. The penslons
costs eharged to the SOFA In the year are the contrIbu￿On$ payable {2024: £ 562,
2023.. £ 484).
A valuatlon of the Penslon Builder Schem& Is carrled out oncè évery thre8 years. Th8
most recent valuatlon was carried out as at 31 December 2022.
For tho Penslon Bulldar Classlc sectton, the valuatlon revealed a surplu8 of £34.8m on
the ongoing assumptfons used. At the most recent annual re￿eW effective 1 January
2025, the Board chose to grant a dlscretlonary bonus of 6.7Q/o to both penslons not yet
In payment and pen8ions in payment in respect of servlce prior to Ap￿1 1997.. and a
bonus on pensions in payment in respect of post April 2006 serwce so that th8 p8nsion
increase was 2.7 10 Iwhere usually il would be calculated based on inflation up to
2.5°/0}. This followed improvements in the funding p¢)sltion over 2024. There18 no
requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The next valuation is due as at 31 D￿mber 2025.
For the Penslon Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a Surplus of £8.5m on the
ongolng assumpllons used. There is no requirement for deficit payments al the current
Ilme.
Th818gal structure of the s¢h8m61s such that if another employer fails, St.Giles
Church could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employe¢s penslon
