The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Saviour's Church, Upper Sunbury, TW16 7TP Report and Financial Statements 2024
Structure and Management The PCC In accordance with the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 the PCC is required to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is a registered charity with the Charity Commissioners. Registration No: 1130267
The PCC meets six to seven times per year. The meetings are all minuted and can be obtained from the Church Office. Church members are encouraged to find out about any matters of particular interest to them by speaking to one of the PCC members. Any relevant matters arising from the PCC meetings are raised in church notices and summarised in the weekly church news email. The PCC has committed itself to appointing and financing a paid staff team, working alongside the clergy. In addition, many members of church are involved in activities and responsibilities on a voluntary basis. The Churchwardens are elected annual at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners (AMP) and new members of the PCC (Parochial Church Council) are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) from members of the electoral roll. The PCC receives induction and ongoing training using appropriate material made available through the Diocese of London. In addition to the Clergy and Wardens, we have 4 ex-officio members of the PCC in 2024: Norman Head (Deanery Synod), Christine Rogers (Deanery Synod), Rev Gillian Harrap (Deanery Synod) (until Sept 2024), Stephen Pal-George (Deanery Synod) (until April 2024). The PCC does not reimburse expenses incurred by its members. Quinquennial: May 2023 - Cazenove Architects November 2018 - Cazenove Architects November 2014 - Clive England of Thomas Ford and Partners. November 2005 - John Deal RIBA The PCC is responsible for the preparation of a statement of accounts for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the Church's incoming resources and application of resources during the year and of its state of affairs at the end of the year. In preparing those accounts, the PCC is required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and - Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is manifestly inappropriate to presume that the activities of the Church will continue in operation. The PCC responsibilities include keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 1993 and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006.
The PCC is also responsible for safeguarding the church's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and breaches of law and regulations.
The PCC at St Saviour's fully supports the vision to see the church "transforming lives in the love and power of Jesus." and everything we do is to enable us to achieve this goal.
Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM)
The APCM is the main meeting for the church as a whole at which elections are carried out for the officers of the church, including the PCC, in line with the normal rotation of elections. The APCM reviews the year just gone and the future vision and is typically held in March or May.

VICAR and WARDENS' REPORTS for 2024
VICAR's REPORT
So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilise it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’” Luke 13:7-9 When I shared these verses from Luke’s gospel at our Vision Sunday in May 2024 they felt apt. I had been in post as Vicar of St Saviours Sunbury for three years. I resonated with the owner of the vineyard, “For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit.” I also related with the gardener, ‘let’s give it one more year and see what happens.’ As we have metaphorically done our ‘digging and fertilising,’ once again we see God’s faithfulness and provision throughout the life of the church. My hope has been to resist quick fixes that result in shallow roots. Rather, to take time, prepare the ground, develop healthy foundations, and build a model for a healthy church that is sustainable, and bares fruit for future generations. It is a delight to see so many new faces, especially young people. Our Worshiping Community is now at 574 worshipers; these are the people who regularly attend an act of worship each week. Our usual Sunday attendance is 142 people but what makes this so exciting is 35% of these are under 17, which is over a third of our attendance. The resources we provide for young people on Sundays, and during the week are so important for their development spiritually and emotionally. To help develop social skills snd assist in mental wellbeing. The Haven continues to thrive as a hub for social transformation and is at the heart of our outreach to the wider community. The new kitchen has allowed us to provide free hot meals every week. Kids activities, debt advice, fuel support, surplus food, befriending those suffering from social isolation, and pastoral care are just a few areas of support we have offered. Our experience and expertise in social transformation has allowed us to work collaboratively and be an outlet for other churches, charities and organisations, serving some of the most vulnerable in our community. As we prioritise time and resources towards young people and the Haven, we are living out our calling and vision, to transform lives in the love and power of Jesus. Other notable areas for celebration in 2024 include 21 baptisms, new comms, new cladding to the Kids Venue (The Lighthouse), a new Christian’s group, a new Eco church group, ladies bible study, kids camps, the annual community beach trip, classical concerts and a summer church picnic. Our pattern of services, The Ten, Four, Six, Oasis and Haven, continue to offer an act of worship to the different demographics that call St Saviours their spiritual home. For the third time we attended Focus, our church weekend away, with increased numbers from the previous years. It was a joy to witness God move in so many St Saviours family lives, both young and old. I am thankful for our paid staff team for who, with uncertainty of the future, have run with great enthusiasm, working tirelessly, and often juggling many challenges. I am also immensely grateful for our unpaid teams of standing committee, safeguarding, and the PCC. They have offered leadership, support, expertise and a considerable amount of time in areas such as HR, finances, buildings & fabric, leadership and preaching. We are only able to flourish as a healthy and safe church because of their service. And none of what we do would be possible without so many volunteering and serving in every area of church life. Sacrificially giving their time and finances to see the vision become a reality. It’s humbling to recognise how the smallest acts of service, often unseen, have eternal significance in someone growing in faith with Jesus. Finally, it is worth noting the role of corporate prayer throughout 2024. A few of our prayer activities have been the Matthew 18 prayer groups, Monthly evening prayer, and Saturday morning prayer. It is no coincidence that as we have cried out for more people, more youth, more finances, more team, we finish this financial year with many answered prayers. The church is growing, young people desire to be at St Saviours and are dragging their parents to services, our finances remain healthy, we had a new self-supporting curate ordained in September and have been gifted with a paid full-time curate for Summer 2025. The parable of the fig tree speaks of patience and perseverance. It reminds us that we may be the gardeners, but it’s God’s vineyard. We are called to diligently do what we can, and allow God to do what only God can do. Lots of love, Allen February 2025
Wardens' Report
2024 at St Saviour’s: A Year of Dedication, Growth, and Hope
As we reflect on 2024, our focus has remained steadfast—supporting Allen as Vicar in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of St Saviour’s. Our efforts have been centred around three core areas: fostering strong governance, nurturing the worship life of the church, and maintaining the buildings that serve as the foundation of our community.
This year, once again, we've witnessed an incredible outpouring of effort from a diverse group of volunteers and our dedicated staff team, who have worked tirelessly across all aspects of church life. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment, which is the heartbeat of St Saviour’s.
Behind the scenes, the vital processes that sustain good governance have continued without interruption. The PCC has maintained full membership, meeting every two months, with the Standing Committee working in tandem to ensure smooth operations. Each meeting has seen a thorough review of our Safeguarding and Financial performance, with detailed minutes shared for transparency. Allen hosts a weekly staff meeting, ensuring clear communication, and each team member receives annual objectives and a review of their work.
Financially, we are pleased to report that, subject to the audit of our 2024 accounts, our income and expenditure (both restricted and unrestricted funds) have remained closely balanced. By the end of December 2024, we had just over £50,000 in the bank, with expenditure exceeding income by less than £10,000 (a modest 3%), all within the Treasurer’s guidelines.
Our buildings continue to serve us well, though we acknowledge some long-term challenges that lie ahead. The completion of the main church building, the replacement of temporary toilets, and necessary upgrades (such as replacing the gas boilers) will be critical steps to align with the ECO audit, which was completed in January 2025.
At the heart of all we do at St Saviour’s is a deep reliance on prayer. Prayer continues to guide and strengthen us as a community, anchoring every decision and action we take. We are reminded daily of our need for God’s wisdom and grace in all things, trusting that He will provide for our needs and lead us through both challenges and triumphs. Our prayers not only shape our worship but also the way we serve and care for one another, keeping us grounded in His love and purpose.
As we look back on 2024, we have so much to be thankful for. St Saviour’s continues to thrive thanks to the dedication of our community and the faithfulness of our Lord and Saviour. With the challenges of 2025 and beyond ahead of us, we are filled with hope and encouraged by everything we have accomplished together.
With thanks and anticipation,
Geraint Owen & Guy Trevithick Wardens

Financial Review
The PCC's main source of funding is the "free will" offerings of church members.
Financial Position
Unrestricted funds
The financial position for the year has been challenging with donations being reduced due to members of the congregation struggling financially.
| In overall terms at 31 Dec 2024 unrestricted funds stand at: | 9 | £69,370 | 2023 | £78,957 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Historically unrestricted funds of £244,635 was designated by the PCC to enable the purchase of the property at Wolsey Road for curate use. The | property | |||
| was designated towards the building fund project. | ||||
| Restricted funds | ||||
| The details of all the restricted funds received are set out in detail in note 10 to | the accounts. A separate restricted fund manages the financial aspects of th | |||
| separate column headed "BCF" and forms part of these financial statements. | ||||
| At 31 December 2024 Building project restricted funds: | 10a | £80,112 | ||
| At 31 December 2024 Asset Sales: | 10b | £0 | ||
| At 31 December 2024 General restricted funds: | 10c | £83,604 | ||
| At 31 December 2024 Fuel Fund project restricted funds: | 10c | £4,577 | ||
| At 31 December 2023 Building project restricted funds: | 10a | £96,670 | ||

| At 31 December 2023 General restricted funds: | 10c | £68,614 | ||
| At 31 December 2023 Fuel Fund project restricted funds: | 10c | £6,676 |
Historically unrestricted funds of £244,635 was designated by the PCC to enable the purchase of the property at Wolsey Road for curate use. The property was sold in 2017 for £419.736 and after costs, £400k was designated towards the building fund project.
The details of all the restricted funds received are set out in detail in note 10 to the accounts. A separate restricted fund manages the financial aspects of the Building Community project and this is reported in a separate column headed "BCF" and forms part of these financial statements.
Reserves Policy
The PCC's aim is to have an unrestricted reserve level that is neither deficient or excessive, and seeks to strike a balance between two competing needs: on the one hand to have sufficient funds available to meet unexpected costs and/or loss of income, and on the other hand, to optimise its use of available funds to make the church's vision a reality in the local community. The Reserves Policy set in 2006 was revisited in 2013 and agreed that unrestricted funds should be available to meet any contingencies that may arise up to an amount of £25,000. The current unrestricted funds are in line with this level and are considered appropriate.
The PCC regularly review the position in light of their existing and anticipated commitments.
Risk Management 2024
All Health and Safety requirements have been up-dated including any necessary Risk Assessments.
Quinquennial
Our quinquennial inspection took place in May 2023.
The porta cabin, which has reached its life expectancy, will be dealt with as part of the build project. The asbestos roof requiring replacing will be removed as part of the build project.
Auditors/Independent Examiner
The accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 fall beneath the audit threshold and are therefore subject to review by an independent examiner.
Approval
The report of the PCC for 2024 accounts was approved by the PCC on the Date to be entered after PCC approval

Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of St Saviour's Church, Sunbury Upon Thames
I report on the accounts of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Saviour's for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 11 to 16.
Respective responsibilities for the PCC and the examiner
The PCC is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC considers that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) but that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeds £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and Chartered Global Management Accountant. It is my responsibility to:
-
1 examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2012 act;
-
2 to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
3 to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of 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. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or
(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
1a Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting, and include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
1b Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue and accordingly the accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
1c Income recognition
Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period in which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
- 1d Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. The PCC is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.
Expenditure on Raising Funds includes property maintenance costs.
Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the PCC’s principal objects. These include grants payable and governance costs:
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the PCC’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the PCC.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.
The PCC contributes to certain employees' personal pension plans. These are defined contribution schemes, the assets of which are held separately from those of the charity. The cost in the accounts is the Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease.
1e Fixed Assets - Tangible fixed assets Consecrated Property and Moveable Church Furnishings
St Saviour’s consecrated land and benefice property, comprising the church building and the vicarage, is excluded from the accounts in accordance with s10 of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church contents are held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and require a faculty for disposal. They are considered by the PCC to be inalienable property.
With one exception, all expenditure incurred on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is expensed within the Statement of Financial Activities. The one exception is the improvements to the church described in the accounts as Building Projects, which were capitalised in 2010 and have now been fully depreciated.
Other non-PCC Property
The PCC rents St Saviour’s Glebe Cottage from the London Diocesan Fund (LDF) and the rental charges are expensed within the Statement of Financial Activities. The rental agreement is subject to review annually in October. The LDF is responsible for its maintenance.
PCC Property
Historic information: The property at 41 Wolsey Road was sold in August 2017 for the value of £426k. Phase 1 Modular build was completed in 2023 at the back of the Vicarage garden. The remainder of the fund £149k will be put towards the next phase of the building project.
The church currently does not own any external properties
Other Fixtures, Fittings & Office Equipment
The cost of furniture, fittings and equipment, less any expected residual value, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the effective useful life of the asset, which has been estimated as four years. The value threshold over which an asset will be capitalised is £2,500.
1f Debtors and Prepayments
Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
1g Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used by the PCC for any purpose it deems appropriate. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted funds represent donations received for a specific objective or objectives, and may only be expended on those objectives.
At the year-end, any unspent balance on a restricted fund is automatically carried forward where the purpose is not yet complete.
Apart from the building community project, the PCC does not invest separately the balance of each restricted fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest received in respect of the total of the fund balances may be apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis on agreement from the PCC. No interest was apportioned in 2024.
1h Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.
1i Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

| **10d ** | RESTRICTED FUNDS Explanation (Info Only) | |
|---|---|---|
| Building Community Fund | A separate Building Community Fund was established in 2006 to record the activities in relation to the Building Community project. A small number | |
| of donors continue to support the fund on a regular basis. | ||
| A new Building Project was launched in 2017. Several fund raising events occurred during the latter part of 2017 and beginning of 2018. Planning | ||
| permission was denied so project put on hold. | ||
| In 2019 planning permission was obtained for an annex to the northside rear of the church, where the portacabin is currently located, and the | ||
| replacement of the extension at the southside rear of the church. Planning permission was sought, and subsequently received in early 2020, for the | ||
| construction of a building in the rear of The Vicarage garden. | ||
| The Modular Build was operational from September 2022 but formally launched as "The Light House" in January 2023 and finally completed in | ||
| December 2023. | ||
| The cladding on the Modular Build was completed in 2024 | ||
| "Community Food Bank" | Sufficient donations were received during 2024 for the "Haven" & Community Support Hub & Foodbank Project to remain self-funding. | |
| and | ||
| "Community Support Centre" Project | During 2024, the St Saviour's Community Foodbank distributed food parcels to 682 local families | |
| The number of people benefitting from the foodbank during the year was 12,551 local community members. | ||
| Meals given out during the year was 13,9759. The weight of food distributed was 53,168 kg | ||
| Average number of volunteer hours served during the year was 9,648 hours. | ||
| This number of hours equates to £108,932 if the volunteers were paid minimum wage. | ||
| Calculations are worked out by taking the total weight of all the ambient and surplus food distributed each week and then dividing it by .420grams | ||
| which is the value used by the Trussell Trust. We have been recording accurate weights for all food in and out of the foodbank, including removing | ||
| the weights of the crates and boxes the food comes in, as well as subtracting any waste food that is thrown away or taken to the swan sanctuary. | ||
| Records are updated weekly and monthly reports sent to our dedicated partners who without their support and donations our ministry would be | ||
| hard pressed to run. Our Supports are, Spelthorne Borough Council, Surrey County Council, Councillor Harry Boparai, Chanrai and Copper | ||
| Chimney Restaurant, Tesco Supermarket and Surplus to Supper. | ||
| The Community Support Centre offers many areas of help to our local community. | ||
| We offer debt and budget advice, help with housing benefits, personal benefits, care benefits etc. | ||
| Outside agencies attend the centre on a regular basis, Citizen's Advice Centre, A2 Dominion Housing association, Age concern and many more. | ||
| Community members of Surrey & Spelthorne Counties and beyond who attend this ministry are accepted as they are on that day and given | ||
| unconditional love, care and a listening ear. Everyone is invited to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere to chat whilst enjoying free refreshments, breakfast | ||
| and lunch prepared with surplus food. | ||
| Frozen "Ready Meals" | This project supplied local community members with 4,546 frozen meals via parcels and to the surplus queue. | |
| Community "Lunch" Project | We began the Community free lunch project in June 2017, this was put on hold during 2020 and 2021 due to Covid and was resumed in 2022. This | |
| provision continued to run well during 2024. | ||
| The average number of local community attending the lunches was around 250 Per month. | ||
| Community Fuel Fund Project | In conjunction with St Mary's Church, Sunbury, we were able to continue to run the Fuel Fund project providing "Top UP" and "Arrears" support for | |
| many of the Parish community in need of gas and electric help. | ||
| Oasis Annual Holiday | The Wednesday Oasis Ministry organises an annual holiday for community members. Deposits and donations are received in advance of the trip. | |
| These funds are held in the St Saviour's bank account as restricted until such times as the payments are due. The 2020 holiday deposits were paid | ||
| in January 2020 for our September 2020 departure to Devon. Due to the Covid social distancing and lockdown restrictions the holiday was | ||
| cancelled and deposits were moved to secure the same destination in 2022. Some people paid more than their deposit during 2020 and these | ||
| funds are held in restricted until such times as they are due to be paid later in the year of 2022. The Oasis holiday was again put on hold for 2022 | ||
| due to Covid restrictions. Refunds were made to those who had paid more than the deposit.. | ||
| No holiday or outings were booked during 2024. The remainder of the restricted fund money will be held to help towards day trips during 2025. | ||
| Worship Music & Sound Equipment | The Worship Ministry received a donation for the purchase of a new sound equipment. | |
| Some items of equipment were purchased in 2020 with the remainder of the donation being used to purchase equipment in 2022/2023 and fully | ||
| spent in 2024. The ministry received donations towards Multitrack music during 2024. | ||
| Youth Minster Project | St Saviour's was selected in 2018 to be a Youth Minster, funded by a grant from the Diocese of London. This project ended in 2023 and was not | |
| reinstated during 2024. | ||
| The grant was to support growing the number of young people who are in contact with the church. This is being done by providing support in local | ||
| secondary schools through Alpha courses, workshops for young people with severe anxiety and after school clubs. | ||
| Groups were also run at the church, including youth band, life groups, youth club, groups during morning services and youth led services whilst the | ||
| church was open and online activities throughout lockdown periods. | ||
| Many of these activities will continue going forward but under the Church Youth Ministry. | ||

12 CHURCH BUILDING PROJECTS (Info Only)
The original Building Community project was formally launched in September 2006 and put on hold in 2008 due to a significant increase in the cost of the project and following a prayerful, careful and thorough discernment process the difficult decision was taken to call a halt to the architectural plans and to begin once again to explore other options. The PCC wrote to everyone who contributed to these plans and have received confirmation that the funds raised to date should be retained within the Building Community fund for the wider vision of building community in Sunbury.
In 2016 this project was been resurrected and the funds will be used towards the architectural planning for the very much needed "new" building project. The Wolsey Road property has been sold and the funds allocated to the New Building Community Project. During 2018 the project was placed on hold due to planning permission being denied.
In 2019 planning permission was obtained for an annex to the northside rear of the church, where the portacabin is currently located, and the replacement of the extension at the Southside rear of the church.
Planning permission was sought, and subsequently received in early 2020, for the construction of a modular build at the rear of The Vicarage garden.
In 2021 the modular build at the rear of the Vicarage garden was purchased and erected on site. All surrounding areas were landscaped with fencing, paths and levelling of soil areas ready for planting grass seed in the spring of 2022. In January 2023 the building was named "The Light House".
In 2023 the cladding for the building was agreed for installation in autumn 2023 and work began in December and was completed in January 2024.
