**CANFORD CLIFFS AND SANDBANKS PCC**
## **ANNUAL REPORT 2024**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Parochial Church Council [PCC] of the Parish of Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks has the responsibility of sharing with the Incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church. It also has responsibility in matters of maintenance of the church buildings: the Church of the Transfiguration and the Chapel of St Nicolas.
The PCC has given due regard to public benefit when planning the church’s activities, in accordance with the Charity Commission’s General Guidance on Public Benefit.
The paragraphs above set out our activities, achievements and performance during the year, which are directly related to the objectives and purposes for which the church exists.
The church achieves its principle objectives and purposes through:
- High quality public worship, both modern and traditional
- Pastoral care and support of those in need
- Promotion of Christian Aid and other charitable causes
These benefits are directly related to the aims of the church and are fully compliant with the Charity Commission Principles on Public Benefit.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The charity’s governing document is the PCC powers measure (1956) as amended and church representation rules.
Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.
The following served as members of the PCC during 2024: Revd Andrew O’Brien Chairman
_**Parochial Church Council:**_ Messrs. A Clark, C Gameson, R Goodall, R King [Deputy Churchwarden], G Luker, F Snook, H South*, M Wright [Treasurer and Deputy Churchwarden],
N Yeoman, Mrs K Allsopp* [Churchwarden], Mrs W Bales [Churchwarden and Asst Treasurer], Mrs A Castley, Mrs P Newton, Mrs J Tombs. *Deanery Synod
All members give of their time freely and no member received remuneration. Details of clergy expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 7 to the accounts.
The PCC has a risk management strategy which comprises:
- an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the PCC faces;
- the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the PCC should those risks materialise.

## **CANFORD CLIFFS AND SANDBANKS PCC**
## **ANNUAL REPORT 2024 [continued]**
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the PCC. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank and active management to ensure sufficient working capital for the PCC.
Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of clergy, congregation and management. These risks are managed by having robust policies and procedures in place.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Our usual Service of the Sea took place in February with about 70 people attending. It is good that we still continue to have this link with the RMYC.
In February we lost another great supporter of our church with the death of Geoff Hayward. Lent did not start in a very auspicious way as on Ash Wednesday, I had a cardiac arrest! Having recovered, as usual during Lent we had our Compline and Lent Devotion which was held once a week on a Friday. This was well received and we will continue this in 2025. Our Good Friday Children’s activities was very well attended, with about 20 children and their parents coming along to share the fun. Easter services were well attended with over 90 people present on Easter Day. We were joined on 21st April by the Bishop of Salisbury who preached and celebrated at our Parish Communion.
The Craft Group continues to meet. They raised a good amount for church funds from stalls at the Summer Fete and Christmas Fayre. It brings people in both from the church and from the wider parish. The summer fete took place with very unpredictable weather. Unlike 2023, we were able to be outside for the whole afternoon. I would like to thank all those who give up their time and expend their energy on this day.
Our Harvest Supper took place as usual in September and thanks go to everyone who worked so hard to make this such an enjoyable community occasion.
In October we were joined by the South Oxhey Choir from Pam’s previous parish who gave an enjoyable concert attended by around 60 people. There was a variety of music to suit every taste and, again, we are very grateful to all those who provided cakes, etc. for the choir tea.
The Christmas Fayre took place in November and was very successful raising approximately £2,500. A big thank you to all who continue to run stalls and especially to Anna for her organisation of the event.
The hall has been well used over the year with very few days when some activity or other has not taken place. I would like to thank Wendy for organising the diary for this and opening up for various groups.
The Family Service on a third Sunday has been well attended with around 20 people attending each month.
The Mums and Toddler group continues. We have around ten mums and toddlers and, as well as a story, Ewa joins us to play songs. Many of the mums and children have moved on but we now have a new cohort who have replaced them.
2
We are very fortunate in having such an enthusiastic Director of Music and Organist in Ewa and a choir that leads our worship so effectively. At Christmas they sang carols at The Canford, Marjorie House and Isabel’s.
Our Christmas festivities started with the Carol Service which was, as usual, a lovely mix of traditional carols sung by the congregation and a variety of other pieces sung by the choir. I would like to thank Ewa especially for all the work she puts in to make it fresh each year. We then had the Live Nativity in the park opposite The Canford. The weather was unpredictable with strong winds, but fortunately Roger, Richard Goodall and Richard Lannoy managed to secure the gazebo so we could go ahead. We were joined by Dainty and Annie, two lovely beach donkeys from Weymouth and I must say a huge thank you to Lisa, Jason and baby Jessie who played the role of our Holy family so beautifully. We raised £500 for the Children’s Society. I would also like to thank Terry and the team from the Canford who supplied hot chocolate and mulled wine at the Live Nativity to keep everyone warm and cheerful. Services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were uplifting and well attended.
The fortnightly Coffee Mornings continue to be enjoyed, providing a social occasion for people to get together. The Christmas coffee morning was well attended and enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to everyone involved and especially to Grace Martin for organising this important outreach and keeping it going. I am also very grateful to those on the rota for Sunday morning coffee especially to Rona and Joanne for filling in when gaps occur on the rota. It is encouraging to see how many people enjoy this social time following our service.
I would like to thank Rona for her work as Sacristan which involves preparing all the elements for our Sunday service as well as changing altar frontals and all the washing and ironing of the linen. This is a huge job which goes unnoticed as it is carried out so quietly and efficiently.
We are fortunate in having a very talented group of flower arrangers from the Flower Guild who decorate the church beautifully all year and especially at Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Thank you to Susanne King who organises the rota and goes to so much trouble in sourcing the flowers. The wholesalers is situated in Romsey, so it’s quite a trek for Roger and Susanne to order and collect the flowers, especially for major festivals. Thank you also to all those people who give donations towards the cost of flowers.
We are very fortunate to have the Rev’d Canon Pam Wise as a member of our congregation. Pam preaches for me on a third Sunday and covers
when I am away. It is great to know the church is in such good hands and I would like to thank her personally for all her hard work.
I would particularly like to mention the churchwardens, Wendy Bales and Kathy Allsopp, the deputy churchwardens and the PCC for their encouragement and support over the past year. We are very fortunate to have a core group of people who work silently and tirelessly behind the scenes. It is difficult to single people out, but I would particularly like to thank Wendy Bales and Michael Wright for keeping us on track financially and Roger King for always being ready to take on a new job, be it putting up signs for various events, decorating the Christmas tree, and generally fixing anything that is broken!
_Rev Andrew O’Brien_

## **ANNUAL REPORT 2024 [continued]**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
We have been very fortunate that the satisfactory income from the four major items, namely Collections, Envelopes, Gift Aid/Planned Giving and Income Tax Refunds has continued so well. We really are grateful to everyone who has continued to support the Church in these ways so that the Income Tax refunds can be regularly claimed which is so helpful. As always Andrew Clark and Roger King make the claims and we are so thankful to them for seeing to it all so efficiently.
The important rent from the bungalows continues satisfactorily with reliable and contented tenants living in them.
Both the Summer Fete and Christmas Fayre were most satisfactory financially and we are extremely grateful to all the people who stock and run the stalls and to those make the teas and catering such a success – it is very hard work to ensure that all happens in an efficient and friendly way!
Our expenses and costs have again been similar to the previous year though the Parish Share has increased substantially and accounts for nearly two/thirds of our entire outgoings.
The Church received a bequest of £5000 from Annette Bailey which was kind and thoughtful of her, especially as she did so much to help with the running of the Church for over 50 years.
We are again very grateful to Graham Luker and Richard Ellis for their excellent weekly work in keeping the grounds and garden so tidy and beautiful.
Wendy Bales has continued keeping a close eye on our accounts daily and successfully – time consuming work – for which we thank her most sincerely.
_MJM Wright_

3. 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 port 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.

**CANFORD CLIFFS AND SANDBANKS PCC**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## a] Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 2019] - [Charities SORP [FRS 102]]
Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note[s].
## b] Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The board has considered the charity’s operations and finances in the short to medium term. In the opinion of the board the charity has sufficient working capital to continue to meet its financial obligations and pay its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The board has considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves held for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## c] Fund accounting policy
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any special restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC.
Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specified purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC can be held responsible. They do not include the financial statements of other Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
## d] Incoming Resources
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
9
## **CANFORD CLIFFS AND SANDBANKS PCC**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 [continued]**
Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when received.
Income Tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and amount due.
Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross and recognised when the event takes place.
Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross and recognised when the goods are taken.
## Other ordinary income
Rental from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
## Income from investments
Interest is accounted for when receivable.
e] Resources used
## Donations
Donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Activities directly relating to the work of the Church
The parish share is accounted for when payable.
f] Fixed Assets
Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the financial statements by S.10[2][a] and [c]of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the S.O.F.A and separately disclosed.
## Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Office equipment used within the church premises is shown at estimated valuation.
10
## **CANFORD CLIFFS AND SANDBANKS PCC**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 [continued]**
## g] 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 the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## h] Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the PCC 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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## i] Financial instruments
The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards [United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice] and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable 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 basis unless it is inappropriate to
- presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
