ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
for the YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2025
Objectives and activities
St George’s PCC, Altrincham has the responsibility of promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic and ecumenical. It also has the responsibility for the maintenance of St George’s Church, Altrincham and related estate.
When planning activities and considering their responsibilities, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Achievements and performance
The Parish Centre Hall continues to be widely used by local community groups and further enhances our stewardship.
Financial review
The Total Incoming Resources during the year were £206,797 (2024: £203,662). The Parish Centre Buildings are continuing to be used by local organisations and the income during 2025 from Parish Hall lettings and car parking increased to £39,217 (2024: £36,843). The level of grants paid this year was £400 (2024: £6,700) as detailed in note 9. Planned giving, including income tax recovered, has increased from £79,595 to £86,555. The PCC has net outgoing resources for the year of £72,277 which has decreased total funds carried forward to £742,972.
Reserves policy
It is the PCC’s policy to maintain a balance on general fund, sufficient to ensure that the Church is adequately maintained and all running costs can be met as and when they fall due. A designated fund has been established to set monies aside to be used towards the cost of church maintenance and repairs.
It is our policy to invest our fund balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.
