Objectives and activities
The object of the charity is to 'promote in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church,.
The charity provides servlces and activities within the context of a Church of England Parish Church. Through
these, its members seek to live the 'life in all its fullness" in whlch Christ Invltes us all to participate. This is
reflected in the Church's dNerse congregation and activities- a congregation which embraces young and old
(and all in between) and people from many different ethnic and national backgrounds; and a wide range of
activities, which seek to enhance the spiritual, physical and social well-being of all those living in our
community.
The PCC confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when
reviewing the charivs aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year.
The charity furthers Its charitable purposes for the public benefit through:
the provision of Church ser4ices, prayer meetings, fellowshlp groups and pastoral care for the
benefit of members of the congregation and the parish.
the financial support and management of a weekday Positive Steps Project held in the Church
buildin& which offers services and activities to members of the community. All benefit the
community in which the Church is located.
the hiring out of rooms within the Church building at a less than commercial rate to community
groups who provide activities that accord with the charitys aim of enhancing the spirltual, physlcal,
mental, and social well-being of those who attend e.g.. exercise classes. youth clubs, toddlers, over
50's and women's groups, community café, Chinese Church; and
the management of a shared community house, rooms in which are available for rent to
congregation members, local Christians and a local community project at a less than commercial
rate.

and to reduce energy costs.
The Church's Cllmate Group implemented various actions to improve the Church's 'green'
credentlals and undertook a survey of the congregation to assess thelr next steps. Eco Matters
continued to be part of the Church's monthty rycle with °Just one thln¢ (encouraglng the
congregation to do just one thing to help the environment each month). The PCC began an

Barnabas, the communlty house owned by the Church, was fully occupied for most of the year.
Various works were undertaken to the building to improve its state of repalr.
Local and overseas mission partners were supported both financially and in prayer. The PCC
implemented the changes to its mission partners agreed in 2023.
The PCC 5UPPOrted three church members in their successful applicatlons for Authorlsed Lay
Ministry trainlng.

As a mandatory agenda item for every PCC meeting, various safeguarding actions were progressed
throughout the year and by the end of the year had completed the mandatory standard for
safeguarding. The PCC complied with the Church's duty under section 5 of the safeguarding and
clergy discipline measure 2016.
FlnancSal review
Total income for the year was £172,007 {2023 £238,371). The decrease was primarily due to specific
donations received for the Lounge Refurbishment Project in the last quarter of 2023.
General giving and donations totalled £49,010, slightly higher than in 20231£42,6291.
Room hire and EV charging income remained stable and brought in £49,565 in 2023 compared with £50,376
in 2023. Barnabas house room rental income was £20,292, slightly lower than in 2023 as two residents
moved out during the year. Overall, these resources contributed income of £69,85712023 £75,000).
The Church received £31,667 from Our Manchester representing % of the first year {January to March 2024)
and Y4 of the second year (April - December 2024) of its 3-year grant towards the costs of its community
project, Positive Steps. Other grants and activity income from participants amounted to £5,012. The
Positive Steps Project also received its Usual annual contribution of £3,000 from the Church congregation.
Total expenditure for the year, including capital spend but excluding depreciation, was £135,242 (2023
£236,370). The decrease on the previous year due mainly to expenditure on the lounge refurbishment.
Salary costs were slightly hlgher in 2024, part funded by the Our Manchester grant. Utility costs dropped
slightly, from £14,038 in 2023 to £13,867 in 2024, (while income from the charging point increased from
£4,973 in 2023 to £5,617 in 2024). The Church also held lots of community events throughout the year and
continued to provide household items for local people in need from its Keep Warm Fund.
The Church was again able to pay its Parish Share in full {2024 £26,461, 2023 £24.043) and to support its
various mission partners.
The Church ended the year with net current assets of £159,733 (2023 £122,968) of which £115,715 are
general reserves excluding fixed assets.
As usual, IO% of giving. and tax relief received on Gift Aided giving, during the year will be set aside for
mission support during 2025.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available funds
in interest bearing deposit accounts.
Reserves policy and golng concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2024 was £389,178 of which £115,715 is
considered to be free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets (£238,625) and
Property Refurbishment Reserve and other deslgnated reserves1£34,838).
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level that equates to approximately six
months of normal unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide

sufficient funds to ensure that support and governance costs are covered for Church activities and its
Positive Steps Project.
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have
been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Perlods
Church Weekend Away: The Church is planning a weekend away in May 2025 at Scargill Christian
Community in North Yorkshire, a weekend of teaching and fellowship and walks In the Yorkshire countryside.
The whole Church congregation wlll be invited to attend regardless of ability to pay.
Community Events: Continuing with its aim of having'more people in the mix more of the time, the Church
Is planning more community events throughout the year, including a Caribbean evening in April, at which the
head of the Operation Restoration Chrlstian School in Jamaica, one of the Church's mission partners, will
speak.
The Positive Steps Project: The PCC intends to contlnue to support the work of the project, both
financially and through the provision of volunteers. in consolidating its core artlvltles, whllst looking to
add new services and actlvltles based on communlty needs. As current 8rant funding will flnlsh In March
2026, the treasurer will. durlng 2025, begin to look at organisations that may fund the project beyond that
date.
Climate Crisi5: The Church intends to build on the work that its Climate Group has been doing to make the
Church 'greenerf. This will include further development of the church garden as well as continuing to review
energy consumption and purchasing policies and setting up an 'Eco shop. whereby the church buys 'green'
products in bulk then sells to the congregatlon at a lower price than the supermarkets to encourage the use
of such products.
Refurblshment of the Church Buildlng: The PCC will progress its application to become a Church of England
demonstrator church with a view to successfully receiving grant funding to assess how best to make the
worship room carbon neutral. Alongside this it will look to apply for fundin8 for the next phase of the
building refurbishment- the entrance and toilets.
Structure. governance and management

constitution. Instead, 35 With all such PCCS, it is constituted by The Parochial Church Council (Powers)
Measuer 1956 (as amended) and The Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical
