## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025** 

## 

The charity carries out a wide range of activities for the community during the year. The aim is to bring the community together. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who are part of St Mary Magdalene with St Martin’s church as represented by the PCC and the wider community in which the charity resides. 

## **1. The organisation and provision of Christian worship** 

A space provided with opportunities for people to explore faith, to worship, to participate in works that reflect the teachings of Jesus, and to live out their beliefs. There are both ordained and lay ministers who lead worship and preach. Three music groups, a choir and a band provide music in worship and celebration services, funerals and weddings. 

## **2. Gatherings & Discipleship** 

The church gathers every Sunday for two morning worship services. These services are also live-streamed to provide access to those who are housebound and a regular number of visitor viewers. We have guest speakers four or five times a year, and several church members preach and lead services on a regular basis. Our Pastoral team takes communion once a month to those who are house bound and to a local nursing home. 

**Messy Church** , a Fresh Expressions gathering, is held once a month for young children and their families. The afternoon provides a programme of arts and crafts, biblical storytelling, games and songs and attendance has been increasing during the past year. 

An early evening service with prayer for healing and wholeness takes place once a month. Morning prayer is held twice a week, once in person and once via Zoom. 

**Children and Youth** . The Vicar oversees the teenagers’ youth meeting on a Sunday and groups for younger children are held in the hall. 

## **3. Outreach to the community** 

**Our preschool** is doing well. We offer 30 hours and have an almost full register drawing from a local community. 

**Playtime:** 2014 saw the start of a two-hour Toddler group once a week for the community. This originally took place in the church hall on a Wednesday afternoon when pre-school was not open. From November 2025 this moved to a morning session in the church building. This was to accommodate the Preschool offering 30 hours consistently over five days. It also met the needs of parents and carers to have playtime provision in the morning rather than the afternoon, which has resulted in a growth in numbers. 

**Holiday Club** is a three or four day annual event during the August holiday attended by local children run by a team of volunteers from the church. However, this did not run in 2025 due to ill health on the part of those who organise this event. We are planning to run this in August 2026. 

**Café matinée** runs once a month for people to come and watch a film together. Refreshments including cake are served during the interval and it has enabled us to form relationships with people in the community. 

**Café Creative** was held twice a month for most of 2025, for all who wanted to spend an afternoon sharing skills in working together on a creative project or pursuing their own project whilst enjoying the company of others e.g. banners, preemie woolly hats, Christmas decorations etc. This has now run its course and closed in November 2025 

**World café** used to be open every Wednesday lunchtime during term time providing a safe and warm place for families of our preschool and friends to meet and get to know each other over free coffee/tea and cake with activities for the children. This has now been absorbed into the morning Playtime since November 2025 and we look forward to new growth. 

**Food Bank drop-off** is provided at the church crypt once a week with Addiscombe Community Group. 

## **4. Annual events** 

Over Christmas, many activities were held in which the community were invited to join: 

**Christmas Fayre, Christingle and Christmas Carol service, Open Air Carols; Christmas journey** (200 children attended from various schools over four days). 

**Hall and Crypt hire user groups,** Pilates; Repair Shop; Food Bank Drop-off; Young Roots; Railway Society; AA.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY MAGDALENE WITH ST MARTIN, ADDISCOMBE** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025** 

Report to the trustees/ members of on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025 set out on pages 7 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY MAGDALENE WITH ST MARTIN, ADDISCOMBE** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Organisation information** 

St Mary Magdalene with St Martin is a registered charity. The Charity registration number is 1131721. The principal address is Canning Road, Addiscombe, Croydon, Surrey CR0 6QD. 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. 

## **Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2022. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the PCC . Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Assessment of Going Concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Parochial Church Council have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Parochial Church Council continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Charitable Funds** 

## **1. Unrestricted funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Parochial Church Council in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

## **2. Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **3. Endowment funds** 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the PCC. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Incoming resources** 

## Voluntary income and capital sources 

i) Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. 

ii) Planned giving receivable under covenant or Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. iii) Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. iv) Sale of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. 

## Other income 

Rental income from letting of the church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or Deeds of Covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## Income from investments 

Interest entitlements are accounted for when receivable.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY MAGDALENE WITH ST MARTIN, ADDISCOMBE** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025** 

## **Incoming resources (continued)** 

## Funds 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purpose of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. 

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible law. 

## **Resources expended** 

## Grants 

Grants and 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 Diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation Expense** 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% reducing balance Land and buildings 0% 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

There has been no change to the accounting polices (Variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year. 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the PCC reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **Accounting policies (Continued)** 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. 

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the PCC is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

31st December 2024 : None 31st December 2025 : None 

## **Consecrated property and movable church furnishings** 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for the disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's Inventory which can be inspected if required. 

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed. 

The house at 68 Elgin Road, Croydon had an estimated market value of £400,000 as at 24 April 2026. 

The property was revalued by Cray & Norton, a local estate agent on 3 February 2014 and is included in the Balance Sheet at £320,000. 

The legal title holder of the house at 68 Elgin Road is Anglican Diocese of Southwark and the beneficial owner is St Mary Magdalene with St Martin. 

The Magdalene centre is valued at £288,000, being the re-instatement cost recommended by the PCC's insurance company.

Average number of employees who were engaged in each of the following activities: Charitable Activities: 2025: 1 (2024: 1) 

The Charity operates a PAYE scheme to pay all employed members of staff and no employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000.  (2024 - None) 

## **13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES** 

In 2025 £1,362 was paid to trustee Rev A Johnson for costs occurring during her role as a vicar. These cost were paid for mileage, zoom and internet cost. No other payment was made to other trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them. (2024: £1,447) 

## **14. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **15. RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **16. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees' report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
