In 2023 we continued to restrict maintenance work to essential tasks only as our income continued lo be
seriously impacted post pandemic.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have complied with their legal duly to have due regard lo public benefit guidance published by
the Charity Commission.
Flnanclal Revlew
The Trinity-Henleaze URC Reserves Policy is described below, taking into account the security of our two
main income streams.. regular giving and lettings.
Regular Giving
We have a large number of church members who pay via either a weekly or monthly standing orders. This is
a predictable income stream and therefore is accounted for in our calculations.
Lettings
Our lettings income is derived from a large number of varied user groups across our two buildings. This has
been a reliable stream and therefore is accounted for in our calculations. However, post Pandemic our
finances continue to be impacted by reduced lettings.
Income from Legacies and Grants
During the year 2023, the Church re￿iVed legacies lotalling £3,300 from the estates of former members and
friends. We received grants lotalling £13,000 from the South Westem Synod of the Uniled Reformed Church
IURCI.
Expenditure on Buildings and Repai
In 2023, £46,565 was spent on buildings Maintenan￿ and repairs. This included £15,887 on new central
heating boilers for the ChU￿h, and over £17,000 on essential renovation and repairs in the Manse.
Caprfal Expendilure on Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment
Equipment for the new Audio Visual System of £27,112 was capilalised.

ReseNes
Our total annual expenditure amounted to £195,577. Al the year-end date, free reserves amounted to
£112,208, represented by net current assets of £118,023, less reslricled and designated funds of £5,815.
This is in excess of the reserves policy. The Trustees acknowledge that excess funds are being held by the
charity. The Trustees are mindful that this excess will need lo be available lo compensate for the reduction in
income from lettings posl-pandemic and the need for continued vigilance with ￿gardS lo maintenance of the
buildings. The Trustees together with the congregation are actively exploring future possibilities and
prospects for the Church's life and work. These too will have funding implications.
The Trustees continue to consider that an appropriate and prudent policy should be thal reseNes, as
represented by net current assets, be maintained at £70,000.

1021, and the Charities Act 2011.

the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only lo the exlenl required to provide a 'lrue and fair
view,. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of
R&¢ommended Pracli¢e applicable to charities preparing their a¢¢ounts in ac¢ordance with the Finan¢ial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 issued in October 2019.
Taking account of the Church's financial position, the Trustees consider that the accounts should continue to
be prepared on a going ¢on¢ern basis.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the church that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use
and are available for application on the general purposes of the Truslges. These include funds designated for
a particular purpose by the Trustees.
Restricted funds are those derived from gifts and grants which are restricted to a particular purpose.
In¢om¢
All income is recognised once the Church h8s entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt
and il is therefore probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured
reliably.
Income from gifts
Planned giving receivable by standing order is recognised when received. Collections are recognised when
received by or on behalf of the TrLJSteès. Gift aid is accrued on donations when there is a valid declaration
from the donor, and accounted for in the year lo which the giving relates. Any gift aid amount recovered on a
donation is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or temis of the
appeal have sl¥led otherwise.
Grants
Grants lo the Church artr included in the Slalemtrnt of Financial Activities whtrn the Church b&¢omes entitled
to the income, this being when il is probable that the income will be re￿ived, and the amount can be
méasured reliably.

Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the
executors have estsblished there are sufficient net assets lo pay the legacy, and any conditions attached
have been met or are in the control of the church.

Accounting policies (continued)
Donated goods, fa¢llltles and $grvl¢es
Donated goods, facilities and seNices are recognised as income with an equivalent amoLJnt recognised as
an expense, except for the contribution of volunteers which il is considered impractical lo reliably measure for
accounting purposes. The donated goods, facilities and services are recognised on the basis of the value of
the gift lo the Church which is the amount that the Church would have been willing to pay to obtsin such
services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market.
Investment income
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable.
Other income
Income lo cover the cost of church even15 is accounted for gross, rather than being netted off again51 rel8ted
costs within reported expenditure. Rental income from the letting of the church buildings is recognised when
the rental is due.
Realised & unrealised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Unrealised gains and
losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value al the year end and their carrying value.
Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their
opening carwng valuè or thèir purchas8 value if acquirèd subsequent to thè first day of thè financial yèar.
Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
Charity to that expenditLJre, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can
be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot
be recovered.
The majority of ¢osts arè dirèctly attributable to the spe¢ifi¢ charitablè activitiès. Thè support costs havè been
apportioned lo the activities of the Charity on the basis of usage of resources, this is thought lo represent a
reasonable representation of the level of support required for each activity.
Govemance
Governance costs represent the expenditure related to ststulory requirements such as audit or independent
examination and legal advice. They have been included within support costs relating to charitsble activities.
Flxgd A$$ot$
Land and Buildings
