Church Building
During 2024 routine annual maintenance work has continued and a number of faculties applied for improvements to
the interior of the church.
Repairs were Undertaken to the clergy vesty r(K)f with more work to be undertaken in 2025.
The fre extinguishers were checked.
Giving and Fundraising
The number of weddings and funerals in church and special services continues to be down on pre pandemic levels. The
PaTish Share for 2024 w&$ paid in full, as was the Insurance which is a heavy burden.
Although regular giving made up a substantial amount of the incorne in 2024 this is again slightty down on 2023. the
majority of income is now via the Parish Giving scheme which continues to increase. Income from Weddings and
Funerals is again down from 2023. Members of the congregation are regularly asked to Teview their giving and
wherever possible Gift Aid their collections. More parishioners this year have arranged lo join the Parish Giving
Scheme which continues to be promoted as the preferred method of giving. Also. a machine to accept debit and credit
card payments was installed in September 2022 giving furlher options. and continues as a popular method of giving
for one off payments The church has received a few generous legacies which accounted for 450/0 of our income in 2024
A few fimdraising efforts took place this year and were well attended.
Investments
Our Endowments and Restricted fun(Ls are invested with the Central Board of Finance Funds administered by the CCLA
Management Ltd. As interest rates have increased income from this source has increased from 2023. the interest
provides useful funds for the Fabric Fund and Generdl Fund.
Financial review
2024 was an Èmproving year in ternis of numbers but planned giving and covenanted collections from all sources was
slightly down. as were PCC fees, ahhough fundraising was up slightly on 2023. The biggest rise this year is from
bank interest and investments in line with the increase in interest rates. plus the legacies received
Reserves Policy
Our Stewardship and Reserves Policy reflects our priniary respo￿]b]lItIeS as a PCC to ensure that we maintain our
financial viability to carry out our mission to discern and convey God's purpose in Mission and Ministry within our
Ecclesiastical Parish and its wider TOWD Centre Ministy, the church being the Predominant building for Christian
worship in the area. Funds derived from offerings made during the various weekly services are placed in the General
Account and are used for the day to day running expense4 upkeep and payment of the Parish Share to Diocesan
Authorities. It is deemed pn￿ent to retain a modest reserve on the General Account to pay for one quarter of the
anticipated atmual outgoings.
Fabric Fund
The Fabric Fund is a designated Fund where endowments and donations are specifically destgnated for the upkeep of
the Fabric of the Church building. The Rector. Churchwardens and PCC take seriously their responsibilities &q stewards
and custodians of the Heritage of a Grade II* Listed buildin8 with its origins in the 7 Century and the current structure

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31" December 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 16.
Respeetive responsibilitles of Trustee5 and Examiner
As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. you consider that the 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 sectiOD 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Comtni5sion (under section
145(5)(b) of the 201 l Act)- and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basi5 of Independent Examiner's Report
My exarnination w&s carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An
exatnination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC 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 conceTning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provlde all the
evidence that would be required in an audiL 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.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter h&s come to my attention:
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep proper accounting records are kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 ACL and
to prepare accounts are prepared which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met. or
2. To which, in my opinion. attention should be thawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to
be reached.

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory defmition of'charity"
by Section l 0{2Ka) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in tbe fmancial statements.
Other Property
38 Bretton Avenue is considered a functional asset and is included in th¢ balance sheet at cost less depreciation
to write off the asset over its estimated useful life of 50 years. Expenditure on the property is capitalised where
it represents physical improvement that enhances the value of the propety. The trustees are aware that the
property has a market value in excess of net tK)ok value but no valuations have been undertaken.

infomation is available. In this case these items were not capita]ised.
