## **Financial Review** 

2025 has been another busy year at St Mark’s continuing ministry to the folk in Woodthorpe whilst in Vacancy until end November, and the Church members have all rallied together using gifts God has given them as well as financially.  Thank you to everyone  for your generosity. 

We have continued to support our partners in Burundi (Burundi Sunday) and in Guatamala and had fundraising RELOVED  events to support Safe Families and Angel Tree project at Prison Fellowship, as well as supporting our Children and Youth ministries.     A new venture is Baby Basics which is self supporting.   The ministry to our older members and friends is thriving thanks to our volunteers. 

The Church Hall produce a good income from hirers and contributes to the finances of the Church and it enables us to share this facility with the local community as well as using it for Church ministry.   However, expenditure for utilities and repairs in particular has increased for both premises and at the year end we had an deficit. 

Many thanks to the Finance Team who help to keep our finances in order.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of the Parochial Church Council of St Mark’s, Woodthorpe** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of St Mark’s, Woodthorpe for the year ended 31 December 2025 as set out in the Annual Accounts 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

The charity’s trustee are responsibilities for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination. I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of members of the PCC** 

As members of the PCC, you are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records and for preparing the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

You are also responsible for determining whether, in respect of the year (and the preceding two years), the PCC meets the conditions for exemption from an audit of the accounts set out in section 144(1) of the Act and the Regulations, and for providing me with information and explanations required for my examination. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

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 requirements that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part 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.
