The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hope Church Islington
Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 December 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The parish's object is to build communities that grow followers of Jesus by gathering for weekly worship services, running various events and facilitating regular meetings for the community with special focus on children and young people as well as raising funds to assist worthy community projects and engaging with issues of poverty and inequality, particularly in the local area.
The PCC members have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the parish should undertake.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Volunteers
The Parish is dependent on volunteers for several aspects of its ministry, some of which would be severely curtailed if volunteers were not available. For example, volunteers are key for the running of children and youth work, holiday events, various courses and other activities. Volunteers are estimated to provide the equivalent of 25 person-hours per week.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity 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 parish that free unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at or above a level of £50,000. The PCC members considers that reserves at this level are sufficient as the charity receives income through two main streams, rental income and donations, which are received monthly from numerous properties and many individuals respectively. Therefore, if income ceased temporarily from a property or an individual stopped a standing order, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the income of the charity.
At the year end, the charity free reserves are greater than £50,000.

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 December 2024
c. Summary
The PCC members consider that the performance of the parish has been satisfactory.
Total income for the year as shown on page 6 was £438,562 (2023: £312,081). Total expenditure was £462,215 (2023: £348,376) and total fund reserves on 31 December 2024 were £2,337,590 (2023: £2,361,243).
d. Principal risks and uncertainties
The PCC members have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error, the safety and well-being of children and vulnerable adults.
The PCC members have policies covering safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults in line with the requirements of the Diocese of London, child abuse and inappropriate behaviour of church employees and volunteers.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary Magdalene & St David, Holloway is a body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended) and the Church Representation Rules. The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary Magdalene & St David, Holloway is also a registered charity, operating under the requirements of The Charities Act 2011.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
New PCC members are elected at the annual parochial church meeting. The incumbent is inducted by the Bishop and installed by the Archdeacon. Churchwardens are elected at the annual parish meeting.
c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
Any training required is very basic. The parish does not therefore consider it necessary to have any formal induction or training programme in place. PCC members are made aware of the handbook for churchwarden and the parish church councillors of the Canons of the Church of England (kept on site) and of safeguarding policy and DBS requirements.
d. Related party relationships
The parish has a relationship with The Urban Revival Foundation, a company limited by guarantee and under the control of four of the PCC members. The company was established for charitable purposes aiming to work in conjunction with the parish to promote community cohesion and other social activities. The company is currently seeking registration as a charity with the Charities Commission and HM Revenue and Customs.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. They 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 December 2024
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hope Church Islington Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of Hope Church Islington meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy
The charity is exempted from preparing a cash flow statement due to exemption available to charities with income of less than £500,000.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The PCC members have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence or the foreseeable future.
c) Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the 36income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
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.
d) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
f) Funds 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 Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity 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.
g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
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. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
h) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Freehold property | No depreciation or relavued |
|---|---|
| Fixture and fitting | 20% |
| Computer equipment | 33% |

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Hope Church Islington Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies (continued)
i) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash 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.
k) Creditors
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 Charity 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 in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
l) Financial instruments
The charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
m) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
