St Saviour’s, Pimlico
Trustees Report and Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2025
Annual report of the Parochial Church Council Year ended 31 December 2025
The Church and Our Work
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Saviour’s, Pimlico, has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Fr Matthew Catterick, in promoting the ecclesiastical parish of St Saviour, Pimlico, a parish church in the Church of England. Together, they work to further the charitable mission of the church, and the PCC is responsible for the upkeep of the buildings and grounds, as well as the financial affairs of the charity.
St Saviour’s Church seeks to provide benefit for both the worshipping community of Pimlico and wider society. This aim is delivered through religious services on six days of the week, community groups open to all, a thriving musical life, and the provision of an open building which acts as a place of quiet and calm for the entire community.
Church life is well supported by a core group of committed volunteers who, when taken as a whole, contribute approximately 0.2 FTE hours to the activities here. These volunteers undertake tasks such as reading during services, altar services, providing refreshments after services, and managing the sacristy.
The PCC has due regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is a registered charity. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Saviour's the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregations who are on the Electoral Roll of the church. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met six times during 2025. The Standing Committee and Premises Committee met between meetings and their deliberations were discussed by the full PCC where necessary and action taken.
St Saviour’s is part of the Westminster Deanery, where the Deanery Synod meets throughout the year and hosts an annual garden party to bring together the parishes of the Deanery. While St Saviour’s is an independent charity, we are part of a wider network of parish churches, themselves independent charities, and cooperate together to support the wide Westminster community.
A Thriving Mission in 2025
It has been a busy year of expansion and improvement for St Saviour’s Church, a year in which we have completed a number of key projects, built on existing ones, and laid solid foundations for coming years.
The bedrock of our work — worship — has continued at strength six days a week, accompanied by a flourishing musical life, community outreach, and important building improvements.
Worship
St Saviour's is fortunate to enjoy a strong congregation. As a central London parish there is an element of flux as people move in and out of the area, so the composition of our congregation changes across the year around a core group of long-term residents who have been attending for many years. On an average week we provide the following regular services:
Sundays
08:00 Said Mass 10:30 Sung Mass Weekdays 08:30 Morning Prayer 12:30 Said Mass 17:30 Evening Prayer (Mondays to Thursdays)
|
On first Sundays of the month, we celebrate either Evening Prayer or a service of Evensong and Benediction, and evening Sung Masses on important feast days. 235 people attended Christmas services and 193 on Easter Day.
Fr Matthew Catterick, the incumbent, leads the clergy team alongside Deacon Douglas MacMillan. 2025 saw the exciting announcement that St Saviour’s will be joined by a new curate, Greg Cook, after diaconal ordinations in Summer 2026. Numerous visiting clergy and preachers ministered at St Saviour’s over the year, and we are extremely grateful for their support.
Sung services here are invariably accompanied by bells. The belltower has been ringing since 1864 and our troupe of ringers, led by Stephanie Pattenden, continue to provide the comforting and beautiful sound of celebration and timelessness audible across Pimlico.
Community
Our ongoing group Tea and Chatter, which was established during the pandemic as a means to combat social isolation, received a grant of £10,000 from the City of Westminster Charitable Trust as part of the Community Contribution Fund. This funding has made a huge difference to our ability to deliver the Tea and Chatter service; it has allowed us to recruit a trained facilitator to support the sessions, to cover the cost of hiring the space, and expand our refreshment offering. So far in the first half of the project, 57 individuals have benefitted from Tea and Chatter, with 24 repeat beneficiaries. It has been wonderful to expand the group; community outreach to reduce loneliness and isolation is in keeping with the wider aims of the church. Tea and Chatter is non-religious and is open to all in the community.
As an unexpected and joyful consequence of the popularity of Tea and Chatter, another group has been established for members of the Japanese senior community to meet and enjoy the opportunity to speak Japanese together.
St Saviour's was also delighted to host a mental health recovery café run by well-known charity Hestia. This continued for a number of months in 2025. The team slotted wonderfully into our church community and the PCC were pleased to be able to host a service that fit so perfectly with our aim to provide a space for quiet and support in Pimlico.
Music
Director of Music Yvette Murphy presided over an excellent year. Another cohort of choral scholars was recruited for the academic year 2025/2026 and funding from the Ouseley Trust supported a junior choral scholarship programme. These scholarships are intended to assist young, emerging musicians in their musical education, providing them with a structured introduction to professional choral singing.
Of particularly highlight was the performance of a Bach cantata alongside a chamber orchestra, sponsored kindly by Brera Life Sciences. The cantata was a beautiful opportunity for the development of musical skills and for including young musicians from many years of St Saviour’s choral scholarships. Yvette also ran two Come and Sing workshops, and very popular Hymns and Pimm’s and Carols and Cocktails events. These events reliably attract people into the church from beyond our own regular congregation, coming for the chance to sing and learn from Yvette.
Fabrice and Buildings
Great progress on two major projects to improve our historic buildings were completed this year; the Pimlico Room was fully refurbished, and the war memorial restored, with most work on the latter done in 2025 and final completion occurring in early 2026.
The Pimlico Room is our multi-function parish room, used for church meetings, preparing for services and as a private pastoral space. It had not been refurbished for over a decade and was beginning to become less functional than we needed, prompting the PCC to designate funds for its renewal. The newly decorated room has allowed us to offer a pleasant, welcoming community space to groups, and for our own use as a church. Hiring rooms is a vital source of income required to keep the church open, and developing this revenue stream is nowa priority.
y
In October 2022, high winds caused our timber calvary cross war memorial to tilt, prompting the urgent need for repair. With funding from War Memorials Trust and Westminster Council, the PCC instructed contractors to begin work which was finally completed in February 2026. Whilst scaffolded it became clear how much the memorial means to the Pimlico community. People frequently asked for updates and completion of the work has been received with great joy. The memorial will be rededicated at the Remembrance Sunday service in November 2026 and are delighted that, once again, it is restored to honour those members of our community who fell in the First and Second World Wars.
Foundations for the Future
The combination of healthy finances and thriving community leaves the PCC hopeful for the future of St Saviour's. In early 2025, the PCC instructed architects to conduct surveys of the church hall as we look towards renewing and refreshing the space.
Financial Review
2025 has been a solid financial year for St Saviour's with a good surplus helping to strengthen reserves. We have been steadily building these reserves in order to deliver much-needed large capital projects which will enhance St Saviour’s ability to serve the community in Pimlico. Due to the closure of the Government's Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme and a reduction in future income from telecommunications masts, our sufficient reserves make the charity secure and financially prudent.
The Pimlico Room was completely renovated in 2025 to enhance rental income for the room and provide a refreshed community and parish room through which we can deliver many of our activities.
Another highlight in 2025 was stability in lettings income, with £154,654 generated in the year (2024: £138,967).
In December 2023 the PCC published “Planning your giving to Saviour’s’, a financial stewardship booklet for the church’s members and donors. In early 2025, we wrote to members of the church's electoral roll highlighting stewardship opportunities in the parish, and we encourage members to review this document when considering giving. The PCC recognise this a difficult time to review charitable giving, given the current cost-of-living crisis and geopolitical instability, but we are grateful for all gifts kindly given.
Statutory accounts for 2025 are set out below. These apply accrual and other adjustments to the cashbased management accounts to generate accounts in the form required by the Charity Commission and other external bodies.
Key points to note in relation to financial performance in 2025 are as follows:
-
Total 2025 income, both restricted and unrestricted, was £383,270 (2024: £303,515).
-
Total 2025 expenditure, both restricted and unrestricted, was £288,044 (2024: £231,316).
-
Net surplus of income over expenditure was £95,538 (2024: £72,223).
A full analysis of income and expenditure during 2025 is set out in Notes 1 and 2 to the accounts respectively.
At the end of 2025, St Saviour’s designated funds to: refurbish the pews, relevel the flooring in the main church and begin preliminary investigations to refresh the church hall.

PCC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Responsibilities of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) in relation the Financial Statements
The PCC is responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.)
The Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the law applicable to charities in England and Wales require the Members of the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the PCC and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the PCC for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the PCC 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 responsible and prudent:
-
° state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
° prepare the financial statements on the going concern unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Members are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and S.145 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Risks
The Trustees have reviewed the risks of St Saviour's, Pimlico during the year and believe that existing controls and procedures are best suited to meet its objectives.
Financial review
There was a net surplus in the year for general and restricted funds and a small deficit for designated funds.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the PCC to hold 6 months reserves in unrestricted funds to cover emergencies, currently there are slightly more reserves held but this is considered prudent by the PCC.

The Bells Restricted Fund holds restricted funds on behalf of St Saviour’s troupe of bellringers, and is used towards bell maintenance and connected purposes. The fund is replenished by small donations from individuals as part of their affiliation with bellringing at the church.
The Clock Restricted Fund holds funds for the periodic maintenance and, if necessary, repair of the clock on the church's belltower.
The Music Restricted Fund holds donations and cash raised through fundraising specifically to support the musical life of St Saviour’s, in particular for the choral scholarships offered annually to four young musicians.
The War Memorial Restricted Fund was established in early 2024, with the aim of assisting with initial restoration costs and provide longer term reserves to cover future repair and maintenance costs. The War Memorial at St Saviour's is a Grade II listed war memorial commemorating men who died in both the First and Second World Wars. Restoration of the war memorial was completed in February 2026 and this restricted fund will be used for its ongoing improvement and maintenance.
