# The Parish of Christchurch, Bushmead, Luton in the Diocese of St Albans Registered Charity no 1130499 # Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Parochial Church Council For the year ended 31[st] December 2023 As presented to the Church Annual General Meeting On 21[st] April 2024 ## **Following Independent examination by** Mark Plane Whittaker Plane Ltd 78 Bute Street Luton LU1 2EY _Page 1_ ## **1.0 Objectives and activities of Christchurch Bushmead** ## _1.1 Charitable Purpose_ The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Tim Madeley in promoting in the parish of Bushmead, Luton, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic and social and the maintenance of the church building for public use and worship. ## _1.2 Public Benefit Statement_ The Parochial Church Council is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship within the building and to leading worship within the local primary schools within the parish. Worship sessions have also been arranged within local care homes. Weekly church services are open to all who wish to join the regular congregation both on Sunday mornings and Wednesday lunchtimes when regular services are held and at times of the traditional festivals of Easter and Christmas. Children’s sessions are available every week. In addition to church services social activities have been held that were open to the wider community. The building was let out on a regular basis and rentals increased during the year and are back around pre-Covid levels. Most hirers are local organisations (U3A, Kumon Maths or other non-Anglican churches). ## _1.3 Activities undertaken._ Regular worship is offered every Sunday morning and Wednesday morning with a regular attendance of 60 on Sundays and 12 on Wednesdays. The other activities included: Home study groups Fitness Sessions Mustard Seed Lunch Club (ended Dec 2023) Men’s Breakfast Ladies Breakfast Youth and Children’s work The Meeting Place We have a pastoral support group that assist members of the church and community on a regular basis supporting people with illnesses, through bereavement and family hardship, but once again we have seen God at work through these endeavours. Further details of these activities can be found within the Annual Report attached to this report. _Page 2_ ## **2.0 Achievements and Performance** The church employed one member of staff, the Vicar’s PA up until August 2023. The role involved supporting the Vicar in administrative tasks and looking after the hirers amongst many other things. After much discussion it was decided that on a trial basis these responsibilities would be shared across a number of individuals and that the church office would be ‘manned’ four mornings a week (Monday to Thursday) on a voluntary basis. The church electoral roll for the period 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023 stands at 69 members, 32 of whom are resident within the parish and 37 who are non-resident. The church can elect two members, who attend the Deanery Synod along with the Vicar. although one post remained vacant through 2023. We also have a church member who attends Deanery Synod as an elected Diocesan Synod member. The Vicar was Assistant Area Dean of Luton, but stepped down in the Autumn but works with the vocations team of the Diocese of St Albans as Assistant DDO encouraging and supporting Christians to explore their vocation and calling. One of our members of Deanery Synod is the Deanery Treasurer. ## **3.0 Financial Review** ## _3.1 Reserves Policy_ The PCC operates with a policy of holding approximately two months’ cash to meet the normal monthly expenditure of the church council. ## _3.2 Statement of year end amounts and reserves_ |Total income|£ 114,541| |---|---| |Total expenditure|£ 112,693| |Excess of Income over Expenditure|£ 1,848| |Total Funds available to the church at 1st January 2024|£ 32,811| ## _3.3 All Funds included._ The accounts include all funds that are run by the PCC. ## _3.4 Accounting Procedures_ These accounts and the Gift Aid claim were prepared using accounting suites from Data Developments, namely MyFundAccounting and Donations Co-ordinator respectively. The financial statements produced at the end of this report have been downloaded from the MyFundAccounting package. ## _3.5 Statement of Going Concern_ _Page 3_ The 2023 financial statements show an excess of income over expenditure of £1,848. Through this result, the strengthening of our room rentals post Covid 19 and the continued prudent use of funds, means the PCC remains optimistic of maintaining the balance between income and expenditure over the next few years. ## _3.6 Financial Commentary_ 2022 has been another recovery year following the effects of Covid 19. ## Result The result for the year to December 2023 was an excess of income over expenditure (i.e a ‘profit’) of £1,849. ## Income Our income was up by 16.2% on last year (£114,541 v £98,610) Although, if the Gift Day monies (and attributable Gift Aid) deferred from 2022 are excluded, the increase reduces to 6% the bulk of which related to a net increase in Charitable activities (room rentals, Mustard Seed, parochial fees etc). The hope expressed in 2022 that room rentals might recover during 2023 was realised with income at £19,081 (2022 - £11,982) this took us back to pre-Covid 19 revenue levels. There was no Gift Day in the year with an expectation that it would be postponed to the first half of 2024. On behalf of the Vicar and PCC thank you to all who financially support Christchurch whether that be through regular or ad-hoc giving, and to all those who hire out our facilities which provides a strong revenue stream. ## Expenditure The 2022 Gift Day (which resulted in donations of £8,265 plus attributable Gift Aid) had been ear-marked for the refurbishment of the disabled toilet with any balance potentially being used to refresh the furniture in the foyer. However, the quotation exercise meant that the toilet refurbishment was not going to happen until 2023 (see below). After PCC discussion the remainder of the funds was veered away from furniture in the foyer towards upgrades and consultancy to improve the audio-visual provision in church (final cost £5,556). Due to ongoing international events, e.g. Ukraine like most home and commercial organisations, ongoing supply issues and pricing uncertainties of electricity and gas, have increased costs substantially. In Christchurch’s case by over 150%, and this is even after the cancellation of one of the two large ‘backdating’ electricity bills (circa £1,700) claimed on the ’12 month limit on back-dating of utility costs’ ruling. To help manage usage we have placed ‘cages’ on a majority of radiator valves and installed a PIR in the disabled toilet as part of the refit. In addition to routine servicing and repairs we incurred the following major repairs costs during the year - Disabled toilet refurbishment - £5,408 - Lightening rod remedial work - £822 _Page 4_ - Main Worship Area fitting of ceiling bulbs - £576 - Soffits (barge boards around the roof) – this work was undertaken in December although it was initially envisaged to be done in Q1 2024) - £2,250 The catering supplies figure for the year includes £467 for a new fridge. In August 2023 our administrator left and after much discussion it was decided that on a trial basis their responsibilities would be shared across a number of individuals and that the office would be ‘manned’ four mornings a week on a voluntary basis. This has obviously led to a salary and NI saving in the final part of the year. Thanks once again to all those who care for the building and fabric of the church and my personal thanks obviously goes to Juliet Johnson who undertakes the book-keeping using our online accounting suite, and to Steve Brooks who manages the service collections and banking – I couldn’t do without them! ## **4.0 Structure, Governance and Management** ## _4.1 Type of charity_ The Parochial Church Council is an Excepted Charity ## _4.2 How trustees are recruited._ The trustees for the Charity are the members of the church that are ex-officio due to the office held (Vicar and Church Wardens) and those members who are elected by the members of the church on the Electoral Roll of the Parish to serve on the Deanery Synod and the PCC ## **5.0 Structure, Governance and Management** ## _5.1 Registered name of Charity_ The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christchurch Bushmead, Luton ## _5.2 Working Title of Charity_ Christchurch, Bushmead ## _5.3 Charity Registration Number_ 1130499 _Page 5_ ## _5.4 Venue and Administrative Address_ 2, Hancock Drive Bushmead Luton LU2 7SF ## _5.5 List of Trustees_ Reverend Tim Madeley - Vicar Mrs Wendy Peck – Churchwarden – appointed at AMP* Dr David Dallinger – Churchwarden/Deanery Synod rep – appointed at AMP* Mrs Christina Pearce Miss Julia Miller Mrs Betty Adhokorie Mrs Helen Roche Mrs Doreen Watts Mr Brendan Roche - Treasurer (co-opted to the PCC) Mrs Jane Watts – PCC secretary Miss Juliet Johnson Mrs Lynda Logan Mrs Carlie Duffy – appointed at APCM** Mr Luke Molina – appointed at APCM** Mrs Emma Molina – appointed at APCM** * Annual Meeting of Parishioners - ** Annual Parochial Church Meeting ## _5.5 Volunteers_ We could not operate as we do without a large group of volunteers who assist with the many facets of services, the daily running of the Church and the different activities that take place. ## **6.0 Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others.** There are no funds held on behalf of others. _Page 6_ Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees l Members of the Parochial Church Council of Christchurch Bushmead Luton I report on the account5 frjr the year ended 31st December 2023, which a￿ set out on pages 8 to 14.

**89,731**| _Page 15_ ## 1. **Accounting Policies** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). ## **Funds** General Church Funds represent the funds of the PCC and are not subject to any restrictions on their use and are available for application for the general purpose of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Where a fund is raised for a specific purpose, the assets are restricted and held to be used for the specific purpose for which the fund was raised. Any income earned on these assets is added to the fund. 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 or those that are informal gatherings of church members. ## **Incoming Resources** _Voluntary income and capital sources_ Collections and donations are recognised when banked. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised and included in the financial statements as a debtor if not received at the year end. Grants and legacies to the PCC are also accounted for when the funds are received. Fundraising for specific causes represents collections designated for those respective causes. ## **Income from investments** Interest is recognised when received. ## **Resources Used** ## _Activities directly relating to the work of the Church_ The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when payable. Any common fund unpaid at the year-end which has not been waived by the Diocese Board of Finance, is provided for in the financial statements as an operational (although not legal) liability and is shown within creditors on the Balance Sheet. At 31st December 2023, £19,346 of Parish Share was outstanding. (£11,715 re 2020 and prior and £7.631 re 2023) ## **Fixed Assets** _Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings_ _Page 16_ Consecrated land and beneficial property is excluded from the financial statements by S96 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 2011. No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC. The PCC considers this to be inalienable property. ## _Equipment_ Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £250 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. ## _Depreciation_ Depreciation is provided to represent the consumption of the asset at the following rates on a straightline basis: |Asset Type|Depreciaton rate per annum| |---|---| |Equipment, chairs and furniture|10%| |Musical, PA and lightng equipment|10%| |Computers and IT equipment|20%| ## _Current Assets_ Amounts owing to the PCC at the year-end are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove to be uncollectable. ## _Current Liabilities_ Current liabilities represent amounts to be paid as donations or grants (mission giving) to causes approved by the PCC, outstanding Parish Share or amounts owed for goods or services provided which are unpaid at the year-end. ## **2.
