PARISH OF TONG AND LAISTERDYKE - TRUSTEES REPORT 31/12/2023
Aims and Purposes:
The Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Tong and Laisterdyke in the Diocese of Leeds, together with the clergy and churchwardens, is responsible for the pastoral, evangelistic, and social mission of the Church of England. It also has responsibility for the maintenance of the Church and Church Community Centre of St Christopher's Church, Holme Wood, St. James Church, Tong, and St. Mary’s Church Laisterdyke. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission as The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Tong and Laisterdyke (Charity number 1130777). The governing documents are the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and Church Representation Rules.
In Tong it is also responsible for the Village School Room.
Objectives and Activities:
The Parish of Tong and Laisterdyke exists to serve the communities of Tong Village, the Holmewood estate and Laisterdyke. We have three worship and community centres – St James’ Church in Tong as well as the School Room, a community building we run in conjunction with the Tong Village Association, St Mary’s in Laisterdyke, and St Christopher’s in Holmewood.
Through a varied programme of activities and services for all ages, the staff, volunteers and congregations of the three churches seek to support those in most need, offer pastoral care, love and friendship and build communities of faithful people both inside and outside the church.
The churches of the Parish choose to do this through their Good Neighbours project at St Christopher’s Church as well as working closely with other local churches and partners, including Primetime at the Vine which operates from St Mary’s buildings and The Holmewood Family Centre which operates from St Christopher’s buildings and the Holmewood Salvation Army which operates our local Food Bank.
Achievement and Performance
The cost-of-living crisis has continued to have a very significant effect on many of the people that we serve, and we have seen a significant increase in our emergency food provision as well as our warm space provisions and access to our food pantries. This year we have also started to work in partnership with the Fuel Bank Foundation to provide additional support to people on low incomes who find themselves in fuel crisis.
As 3 small church communities and a community project, we have worked hard to provide spiritual, material, practical and community support bringing hope, sharing love, and nurturing faith.
We have achieved this by working with our partners, to provide a wide range of services including:
-
Toddler Groups
-
Children and Young People after school groups
-
Older people’s groups and day care provision
-
Craft and activity groups
-
Community Cafes
-
Community Food Pantries, Drop-in spaces and Warm spaces
-
Emergency Food provision
-
Sunday Worship Services
-
Accessible Worship Services for families who don’t attend Sunday services
-
Worship Services in Residential Homes
-
Spiritual support for people across our communities, including the provision of Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals
-
Opportunities to explore faith through small groups and discussions
-
Supporting our local schools to explore faith and engage with their community, and support and governance of our local church school, St John’s CE School Bierley.
Review of Activities
A more detailed Parish Report of the work of the PCC & its three churches during 2023 is available.
Training
We seek to develop all our valued workers, both paid and volunteers, by providing appropriate training and personal development opportunities.

Financial Review
Charity accounts are split between 'Unrestricted' funds (of which some may be 'Designated' for a specific cause) and 'Restricted' funds. Unrestricted funds relate to money the PCC can spend on anything that fulfils the objectives of the church. Restricted funds record donations and expenditure for specific purposes or projects.
Financially it has been another challenging year for our church and associated charities. However, Good Neighbours received an encouraging boost when the National Lottery Community Fund agreed to help fund the project over the next 3 years. This increase in funding, combined with the impact of the cost saving measures taken last year, have enabled Good Neighbours to breakeven over the year making a small net positive contribution towards costs of £3,948, which is a significant improvement on last year.
The pressure on local government funding has led to falling levels of grant funding from Adult Services and uncertainty about long-term support from Adult Services. We continue to address this by keeping our costs as low as possible and through seeking essential funding from other external grant making organisations.
The continued rise in food prices has meant that there has been an increased cost to provide food for the centre. Our partnership with Fairshare continues to help us keep our costs as low as possible, whilst providing good, homecooked food for people who struggle to afford to cook for themselves.
The Parish also continues to be affected by the challenges of increases in the cost of living. The amount of income from local giving has reduced by £4,586 compared to 2022 figures. However, we have continued to receive significant support for our work supporting families and individuals from a range of small funders and significant support from The Eldwick Church and Bradford Cathedral to whom we are particularly grateful. This has enabled us to respond constructively to rising needs with a fourfold increase in the cost of support provided.
The Parish incurred an unexpected increase of £6,792 in the costs on repairs for St James’ Church and St Christopher’s Church and Community Centre. The PCC is currently developing targeted fundraising and grant making applications to enable us to proactively restore and develop our buildings.
Future Strategy
The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees, are working towards a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended. At the proposed reserves level, the Trustees recognise the need to continue to attract major funding in order to maintain activities.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds. Short term reserves will be held in the Trustees’ interest-bearing bank account. Future long-term reserves will be held in accounts designed for the charity sector, with the requirement to generate income and/or capital growth.
Risk Review
The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding activities. Internal risks are minimised by the use of professional consultants, and the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. The procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management.
Members of the P.C.C. are either ex-officio, elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation rules, or co-opted. Elected members serve for a period of one year.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Annual Financial Statements
The attached financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, have been prepared in accordance with the relevant Church Accounting Regulations, applicable Accounting Standards and Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) 2015.
It is recommended that the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 be adopted and approved for submission to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF TONG AND LAISTERDYKE (KNOWN AS TONG AND LAISTERDYKE PCC)
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT - 2023
Independent Examiner's report to the Trustees Council of Tong and Laisterdyke PCC
I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out together with the accounting policies and notes on pages 8 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to :
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
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 the Trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; or to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Accounting Policies
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair” provisions.
Going concern
The Trustees have at the time of approving the financial statements a reasonable expectation that the Church has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Income
Income in the Statement of Financial Activities is recognised when the Church has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attaching to the item(s) have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations, grants, gifts and lettings income are recognised when receivable.
Income from legacies is recognised once probate has been granted, provided that the income will be received to enable valuation of the Church’s entitlement.
Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable VAT.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Consecrated or benefice property
In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
Other fixed assets
All assets are recognised at full value in the year they are acquired.
Short term deposits
These are cash held on the deposit with the CCLA.
Debtors
Debtors represent income to be recognised in a future accounting period.
Creditors
Creditors, loans and provisions are recognised where the Church has a present obligation resulting 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.
Unrestricted Funds
These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which therefore are not included in its ‘free reserves’ as disclosed in the trustees’ report.
Restricted Funds
These are income funds that have been received by the PCC for specific purposes, these funds must be protected and used only in connection with the intention of the original gift.
Endowment Funds
These are funds received from specific endowments and the Capital value is protected and cannot normally be accessed, but the income can be spent in the same manner as unrestricted income.
