## **Structure, governance and management**
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1131530. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC is responsible for ensuring that all PCC members receive adequate training and guidance to enable them to carry out their duties. Regular meetings of the PCC were held during 2025.
The PCC operates through a number of committees that meet between full meetings of the PCC. The committee structure consists of a set of sub-committees embracing the following areas;
- Standing Committee (strategic overview)
- Parish Centre Management Committee
- Social Committee
- Estates Committee
The Standing Committee is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. This committee also acts as the Finance Committee in drawing up the budget and making recommendations of a financial nature to the PCC.
The major risks to which the PCC is exposed, as identified by the PCC members, have been reviewed and systems and procedures have been established to manage these risks.

## **ST. GEORGE’S PARISH CHURCH, ALTRINCHAM**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS for the YEAR ENDED 31[st ] DECEMBER 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of Accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and reporting by Charites: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
St. George’s Parish Church, Altrincham meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are therefore recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The true and fair override has been used to apply the Charities SORP (FRS 102) under the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
## **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The PCC members are of the view that the immediate future of St. George’s Parish Church, Altrincham for at least the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **Fixed Assets**
Fixed assets are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives. The rates and periods generally applicable are:
Parish Centre – 2% per annum straight line Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment – 25% per annum straight line
## **Debtors**
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discounts offered.
## **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 date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

## **ST. GEORGE’S PARISH CHURCH, ALTRINCHAM**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS for the YEAR ENDED 31[st ] DECEMBER 2025**
## **Funds**
Restricted funds represent donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund.
Unrestricted funds comprise general funds and are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the PCC. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the PCC which the PCC Members have decided at their discretion to set aside for a specific purpose.
## **Income**
Planned giving income, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All income is accounted for gross.
## **Expenditure**
Grants and donations are recognised when paid over. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Church activities includes the costs of services, missionary work and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the Church and their associated support costs.
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading comprising the Parish Hall and its support costs.
## **Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the Church but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include secretarial and governance costs which support the PCC’s activities. These costs have been allocated to church activities.
