Charity inforniation
St Peterfs Parish Church is a registered (j￿rity in England.
The address of the reglstered Offi￿ is given in the Charity infomatK)n on page 2 of these
finanaal statements.
The nature of the Charivs operations and ptincipal activities are provickd on ￿ge5 3 to 5.
1.1 ACCo￿tIng convention
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entty as defined by FRS 102. The finandal statements
have tr￿en prepared in am)rdan￿ with Accounting and ReFKJrting by Charities: Statement of
Recommended practi￿ applicable to chariti￿ preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the
Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK arvj Republic of Ireland i55ued in Octoker
2019, the Finanaal Rep)rtirv4 Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of
Ireland (FRS 202) , the Charities Act 2011 and UK C*nerdlly Accertsd A(£ounting Practi￿.
The finanaal ststements have tEen prepared to give a Irue and fairf view and have departed
from the Chaiities (Acmunts and Report5) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to
provide a Irue and fair view,. This departure has invotved following the Ac￿unting and
ReForknng by thaiibes: Statement of Recommended prarti￿ applicable to Charities preparing
their accounts in accordan￿ wf(h the Finanaal RetKlrting Standard applioible in the UK and
Republic of Ireland issued in OctotrEr 2019 rather than the A(rnunting and Reporting by
Charities: Ststement of Recommended Practi￿ effective froml Aw"12005 which has sin
been withdrawn.
The accounts are prepared in stertingi which is the funttrorbal cuffency. The Monetsry
amounts in these finanaal statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The ac￿Unts have b*n prepared under the historical cost convention, r￿dified to Indude the
revaluation of fr&hokl proFerties and to indude investrnent properties and ￿rtain finanaal
Instruments at fair value. The wncipal accounting kK4icies adopted are set out ￿0W..
1.2 Going COn￿M
At the time of app￿￿ng the accounts. they have a reasonable exrkttation that they have
adequate resour￿ to continue in operatlonal existe￿ for the foreseeable ￿ture. Thus, they
continue to adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

has been notified of the donation, unless perf0rnan￿ ct)nditions require deferral of the
amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received undw Gift Aid or Deeds of
Covenant is recc¥Jnised at the time of the donation.
Legaae5 are rKDJnised on receipt or otheMise rf the Charity ha5 teen notified of an
impending distribution, the amount is known, and rereipt is expectol. If the amount Is not
known, the legacy is treat&l as a contingent asset.
Tumover is measured at the fair value of the consideration ￿eNed or receivable and
represents amounts recebvabie for gcK)ds or seNices provided in the rtcmial course of business,
net of discounts, VAT and other sales relat￿ taxes.
1.5 Investment properties
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliabty wfchout undue cost or
effort are measured at fair value at each retxirting date with thanges in fair value recojnised
in net gainsl(IosRs) on investments in the SOFA.
1.6 1mpairnRnt of fixed assets
At each reportirKJ end date, the tharity reviews the carying amounts of its tanglble and
intangible assets to determine whether there is any indi(2tton that those assets have suffered
an impaimient loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverdble amount of the asset is
estimat&J in order to detemiine the extent of the impairment10s5 (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cashflows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rdte that rellerts current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specik to the asset for which the estimates of future cashflows have not been adjusted.
If the recoveratAe amount of an asset is estimated to be less than Its (3rying amount, the
carying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised immediately in income/(eYpenditure) for the year, unless the relevant asset is
carried at a revaluejj amoun¢ in whi(h case the impairment loss is t￿ated as a rewaluation

1.6 Impairnient of fixed assets (Contlnued)
Recojnised impaimient losses are reversed If, and only if, the reasons for the Impairrr￿￿t loss
have ￿Sed to app￿. Where an impaimient loss subsequendy reverses, the carrying amount
of the asset is increasgj to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the
inueased ¢2rying amount does not exceed the carying amount that would have been
detennined had no impairment loss b￿n re￿)gnIsed for the asset in prior years. A reversal of
an impairment ti)ss is reajgnised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a
revalued amunL in whith case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
increase.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents indude cash in hand, deposlts held at oll wfch banks, other short-
term liquid investments and original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within Ixjrrowings in ojrrent liabilities.
Critlcal accounting estimates and judgements
In the appliotion of the Charivs accounting txjlicies, they are requir￿1 to make judgements,
estimates and assumpts.ons about the orrying amount of assets and liabilitie5 that are not
readily apparent from other sour￿. The ￿tiMate5 and aSs￿lated assumptions are based on
historicBI eX[Erien￿ and other factots that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptKins are review&d on an ongoing ￿515. Revision5 to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in whith the estimate is revised where the
revision affects only that pericx1, or in the pEricMJ of the revision and fiJture pericxys where the
revision affects Ixth ojrrent and future FeriLKJs.
