Parish of St John Newland, Hull
Annual Financial Report of the Parochial Church Council
For the year ended 31 December 2025
Financial Review
[The accounts have been produced on a Receipts and Payments basis and include St John’s Church and Hall].
The year has been one of transition as well as a challenging year financially. Total income has seen a significant reduction, mainly due to a decrease in donations and grants when compared with previous years. However, regular giving has remained steady and we have been fortunate to gain some small pots of funding for a new CCTV system and refurbishments to the Community Hall.
Total expenditure was slightly below the previous year, due in part to a refund on utility costs and reduced staffing costs. The final payment for the heating system was made during the year and a new CCTV system was installed, mainly funded by grants, which will improve security and hopefully deter anti-social behaviour.
There will be challenges to face in 2026 if plans to refurbish the Community Hall are to continue and important decisions regarding the necessary roof works will also need to be considered but we look forward to and trust in God’s continuing provision.
2025 ended with £53181 in unrestricted free reserves and £17941 in restricted reserves.
I would like to thank John Porter for his support and independent review of the accounts.
Helen Robinson Treasurer

Independent Examiners Report to the Members of the PCC Of St John Newland
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the PCC of St John Newland for the year ending 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity 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
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 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.
