Selby Abbey has the responsibility, with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, social and spiritual.  Their responsibilities include the buildings at Selby Abbey, St Richard’s Church Centre on Barwic Parade and the Hawdon Institute. 

When planning their activities for the year, the members of the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2) and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

- The provision of sacred space for prayer and contemplation. 

- The teaching of Christianity through sermons and small groups. 

- Pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved. 

- The provision of children’s and youth groups and a range of meetings with a Christian ethos.

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **Policies, objectives and achievements (continued)** 

## **c. Review of the year** 

The P.C.C. met formally on eight occasions during the year, with an average attendance of twelve.  As well as the recurring topics, such as the Fabric, Finance, Children and Youth Activities, Deanery Synod/Churches Together in Selby, Safeguarding, and Concerts and Events, discussions and reports took place in relation to other activities as follows: 

- A letter from the Archbishop of York concerning “Prayers of Love and Faith”. 

- ‘Origins Project’ – Progress through the Development Phase of our NLHF Project. 

- Report on feasibility Study – Hawdon Institute. 

- Plans for Stewardship Campaign in 2025. 

- “Now Then” Arts Projects - a partnership with North Yorkshire and the Arts Council. 

The Selby Abbey Trust continued to support the Abbey in respect of the Fabric. 

Church Council members record their appreciation and thanks to the members of the Abbey Choir and the Tower Bell Ringing Team as well as to the Clergy, Administrator, Director of Music, Churchwardens, Vergers and to Roger Riley, the Treasurer, and to the many volunteers for all their hard work during the year in caring for the Abbey, its congregation, and visitors. 

## **d. Volunteers** 

Without volunteers the Abbey would not function. It relies heavily on volunteers in order to provide the activities outside of the services held there. 

## _**Achievements and performance**_ 

## **a. Review of activities** 

Total income for the year ending 31 December 2024 was £505,397 (2023: £472,390) and total expenditure was £528,750 (2023: £456,106). 

After gains of £12,339 (2023: gains of £8,081) the net movement in funds, in the year to 31 December 2024 was a deficit of £10,188 (2023: surplus of £24,365). Total funds carried forward were £642,186 of which £183,011 are unrestricted, £168,938 are restricted and £290,237  are endowment funds. 

The largest single source of income in the year to 31 December 2024 was £80,319 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to support the Origins project (2023: £90,000) from Selby Abbey Trust to fund the ongoing '950' restoration project which includes nave gutters and high-level stonework.  Other voluntary income this year includes Selby District Council Grant of £18,000, Bramall Foundation grant of £36,000, Selby United Charities of £13,358 and £81,100 from regular donors, offering envelopes, collections and offertory boxes (2023: £87,589). Various activities for generating funds, including the gift shop, visitor refreshments, fayres, concerts and bric–a-brac, generated income of £107,161 (2023: £69,495). 

The expenditure in 2024 included £21,301 for Phase 1 of the 950 Restoration programme (2023: £126,916) and £107,069 on the development stage of the Origins Project . Another of our largest outgoings was £60,000 (2023: £56,400) this being our Freewill Offering towards the Diocese running costs.

## **SELBY ABBEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

## TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **b. Investment policy** 

Except for endowment funds that are held in a range of investments, including equities, fixed interest securities, unit trusts and similar investments, it is the PCC’s continued policy to invest its financial reserves with the CBF Church of England ethical investment funds with the aim of safely preserving the charity's investment and generating a steady source of income. 

## **c. Fundraising activities and income generation** 

There are some concerts held throughout the year alongside fayres. The success of these is measured against our ability to fund the Abbey throughout the year alongside the donations and bequests we receive. 

## _**Financial review**_ 

## **a. Going concern** 

Given the level of assets and reserves, the Members of the PCC have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the PCC to hold free reserves equating to approximately 3 months of operational expenditure which is around £72,000. Free reserves at 31 December 2024 were £127,568 (2023: £140,881), which is above this level. The PCC consider it appropriate to hold reserves in excess of the target level due to the uncertainty of the PCC's income streams. 

## **c. Risk management** 

The members of the PCC have assessed the major risks to which the PCC is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the PCC, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## _**Structure, governance and management**_ 

## **a. Registration and governing document** 

The registration of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Selby St Mary, registration number 1130739, in accordance with the Charities Act took place on 27 July 2009. 

The PCC is governed according to the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended and the Church Representation Rules. 

## **b. Membership** 

Trustees and members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parish Church meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. 

## **c. Sub-committee** 

The routine day to day management of the parish affairs were delegated to a Standing Committee of the PCC which met between full meetings of the PCC and comprised the Clergy, Churchwardens, one nominated representative of the ordinary PCC members, Treasurer and Secretary. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC subject to any direction given by the PCC. 

## **d. Pay policy for key management personnel** 

All salaries are based on the National Living wage. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The development phase of the origins project is now well under way with all of the necessary consultants in place to deliver their aspects of the plan. This is moving at some pace as we are hoping to complete this phase later this year. The next stage will be the submission for the Delivery phase, which if successful will start around the middle on 2025. We are aiming to meet the August deadline for the submission of the Delivery phase application of this project. This project is giving the Abbey organisation the chance to review all aspects of it work and help build resilience for the future.

## **SELBY ABBEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **1. General information** 

Selby Abbey PCC is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and activities are set out on page 3 of these financial statements and include the promotion of the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, social and spiritual. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## _**2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**_ 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102),  the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Account and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## _**2.2 Going concern**_ 

As part of their assessment of the going concern basis of preparation, the trustees have considered the impact of current events on the PCC's activities and workforce, as well as the wider economy and on the forecasted income for the year to 31 December 2025. They have also informally considered the period up to 12 months from the signing of the accounts. The trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses that may arise. The PCC also has sufficient reserves to cover the current level of expenditure for several months ahead. 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.3 Income**_ 

All income is recognised once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the PCC is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the PCC has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the PCC, or the PCC is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. 

## _**2.4 Expenditure**_ 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the PCC's objectives. 

## _**2.5 Interest receivable**_ 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the PCC; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

## **SELBY ABBEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**_ 

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. 

No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. These items are listed in the Church inventory, which is kept by the Churchwardens of each parish church. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the statement of financial activities. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

- Plant and machinery Straight line basis over 5 years 

Freehold property has not been depreciated as it is deemed that both the annual charge and the accumulated depreciation are immaterial to the financial statements, due to the asset having a long remaining residual life, and a high currently estimated residual value. 

Freehold land has not been depreciated. 

## _**2.7 Investments**_ 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities. 

## _**2.8 Stocks**_ 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. 

## _**2.9 Debtors**_ 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.10 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 acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## _**2.11 Liabilities and provisions**_ 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the PCC anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## _**2.12 Financial instruments**_ 

The PCC only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## _**2.13 Employee benefits**_ 

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. 

The PCC operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the PCC to the fund in respect of the year.

_FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024_ 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.14 Fund accounting**_ 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the PCC and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the PCC for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the PCC's discretion; the income derived from the endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted income funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 

## _**3.**_ **Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment** 

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions: 

The PCC makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no  estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
