REVIEW OF THE YEAR
July 2024 to July 2025 has seen changes for Christ Church, mostly due to our Minister, Revd Nadene Snyman moving on from Petts Wood to take on a new pastorate in North Yorkshire. Our Church family has come together to continue to put the mission of Christ Church Petts Wood at the heart of what we do.
Our services at Christmas & Easter have been really special times and we shared in a variety of services including a toy service, nativity, carol services, family Christmas worship, Maundy Thursday meal and participated in the Good Friday Walk of Witness with Petts Wood Churches Together.
The average attendance on a Sunday morning which is a combination of in person and online attendance including children is around 112. Services over the past year have been led by a variety of Ministers and preachers and we are very grateful to Revd Bill Bowman, Mark Dennis & Martin Leonard for taking the majority of the services and the remainder of our preaching schedule has been supplemented by visiting preachers or members of the congregation.

The Church of Youth continues to meet each week and Messy Church continues to run monthly. Our Youth group has a small but core membership and enjoys meeting once a month and many of them volunteer in other aspects of Church life. All those who work with children and youth have been DBS checked, and the Safeguarding Policy is continually reviewed and updated where necessary.
The church has continued to sponsor the Petts Wood Playgroup for Children with Special Needs through the provision of accommodation, volunteers and services.
Pastoral care continues to be a very important part of our mission, and this has been even more important in a year that has seen some quite a lot of bereavement within our fellowship.
All our uniformed organisations continue to meet in the halls and nearly 100 young people attend each week as part of these groups.
All these activities are made possible through the voluntary help of church members and of people associated with the church.
The church has continued to support the Leprosy Mission, Christian Aid and Commitment for Life (which is a partnership between the United Reformed Church and Christian Aid) through donations from individual members. Other charities were also similarly supported through gifts of money or goods — for example the Hayes URC Foodbank.
The Elders and Church Meeting have continued to implement a programme of initiatives in furtherance of their vision for the church over the next few years especially as we look towards the future and hopefully being able to formally declare a vacancy over the next year.

FINANCE REVIEW
The charity’s income for the year returned to normal income levels. This meant that the accounts were again eligible to be prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis but the Trustees agreed to remain on the accruals basis on in future years.
The financial results from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 shows a deficit of £80,953. The deficit is attributed to the final bills on the hall complex £83,558 where income was received in previous financial years. It should be noted that the general fund was in balance for the year. The finance committee continue to review its accounting policy and budgets.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees aim to build up free reserves by the transfer of £15,000 into dedicated reserves at the beginning of each Financial Year if funds allow. This is to enable a dedicated fund to be built up to cover major capital expenditure on building works over the next 10 years.
The balance of the Reserves fund at the end of June 2025 is £49,175.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to operational and financial risks and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate its exposure to major risks. The principle risks and uncertainties currently facing the charity are considered to be:
-
e Financial risk: The age of the building will require unexpected repairs costs that potentially be unaffordable by its current income and reserve level.
-
e Risk in connection with working with children, young adults and vulnerable adults: The church volunteers have regular contact with children and adults. The risk is that the appropriate level of due care over these individuals is not adequate.
-
e Risk in keyman dependency for important roles in running and maintenance of the Church.
Charity Number: 1131806
Page 7
Our plans and strategies for managing these risks include:
-
e Regular meetings of the Trustees, Finance and other related sub committees monitoring income and expenditure.
-
e Spreading money between banks to reduce risk if banks collapse.
-
e Dual authority on banks accounts to safeguard the church’s expenditure. e Reduce the risk of keyman dependency.
-
e Review and produce polices for finance.
-
e Maintaining adequate insurance, ensuring adequate reserve is held, the use of intruder alarms and relevant procedures for evacuation of the building.
-
e Have appropriate safeguarding training and policies in place.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law 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, including the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; c) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; d) state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
e) 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 charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 5 Nov 2S and signed on its behalf.

Christ Church (United Reformed) Petts Wood Charity
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025
1 Statutory information
Christ Church (United Reformed) Petts Wood Charity is a registered charity, no. 1131806.
2 Accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
(i) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and 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 relevant version of the 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) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Christ Church (United Reformed) Petts Wood Charity 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).
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
(ii) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
(iii) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

2 Accounting policies (cont'd)
(iv) Income recognition
Income is recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
- e the charity has entitlement to the funds ° receipt of the income is considered probable © the amount can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
e Donated goods, services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
-
e For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: - the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made to the charity that a distribution will be made, or
-
when a distribution is received from the estate.
-
Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
-
-
e Investment income is recognised on an accruals basis.
-
e Income received in advance of the charity becoming entitled to it is deferred until such time as the services have been provided.
-
(v) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
-
° Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and activities for generating funds.
-
° Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
e Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management ofthe charity.

2 Accounting policies (cont'd)
(vi) Fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of minor additions or those costing below £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. The expected useful lives are as follows:
Computers
Fixtures, fittings and other equipment
3 years
5 years
The title of the church and the manse is vested in the URC Southern Synod Trust company and accordingly they are not assets of the charity and are not included within these financial statements.
(viii) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
(ix) Current asset investments
Current asset investments include deposits held with a maturity of between three and twelve months.
(x) 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.
(xi) Creditors
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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(xii) 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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025
11 Movements in funds (Cont'd)
Purposes of restricted funds
Restricted funds arise primarily from appeals for particular projects of the charity or other charitable causes for which the church has opened an appeal.
URC maintenance grants are claimable against specific items of maintenance of the church building and the manse.
Purposes of designated funds
Designated funds may arise from income given in relation to particular activities of the church.
The Elders may also designate funds for specific projects.
Legacies with no restrictions on their use are generally held as a designated fund until directed by the Elders to a specific project.
Where a surplus arises on the general fund in the year, the Elders may designate part of that surplus in the following year to the renovation fund in order to provide for major maintenance which may arise in future years.
