BA724F12-AD6F4E3E-B4A&kBD70A70C80A1 KIRKBY LONSDALE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORP)"Accounting and Reporting bycharities" (FRS 1021 in preparingthe annual report and financial statements of the charity. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with legislation relating to church governance, the Charities Act 2011 and the 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; FRS102) issued in October 2019. Aims and Strategies The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of working with the ministry team in promoting in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Kirkby Lonsdale (also known as the Rainbow Parish) the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the 7 churches in the Parish. The Church of the Holy st Ghost, Middleton was formally closed for worship on 31 December 2024 and the building is now the responsibility of the Diocese of Carlisle. The responsibility for the Churchyard remains with the pcc. The church is guided by the 'God for All, vision to "Follow Daily" Care Deeply" Speak Boldy" and "Tread Gently" The PCC'S strategies can be considered under 3 headings:_ Mission - We are working with the other churches in Kirkby Lonsdale, particularly the Kirkby Lonsdale Methodist Church (KLMCI, in many areas of mission. We have been running a Family Project with a full time Family Project Leader with the aim of "helping children and their families in our communities, and particularly those with whom the local church currently has little or no contact, discover more of God and God's purpose for their lives" We also work on many other projects including lunches for older residents, pastoral visiting, and a series of activities in church and the community during Holy Week. Ministry- We are working with the KLMC on joint clergy appointments. One of our Team Vicars is currently working half time with the Methodist Church and half time with the Anglican Church. Buildings- In Kirkby Lonsdale we are working with KLMC and St Joseph's RC Church on 'The Big Vision,, that the Churches, the surroundings and the Rectory buildings are creatively and Sustainably utilisedfor the benefit of the local community, visitors and the Ministry and Mission of the church. In the other districts within the parish, each church community is working to support their local church building in different ways. The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches, and to encouraging discipleship and active engagement across the community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our ser4ices and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

BA724F12-AD6F4E3E-B4A&kBD70A70C80A1 KIRKBY LONSDALE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Aims and Strategies (continued) When planning our activities for the year, the ministry team and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific 8uidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We share the Diocesan vision statements: Follow Daily- by providing opportunities and training that will help people to deepen their faith in Jesus, and by encouraging people to consider all types of Christian service. Care Deeply- by working with and supporting the local communities in Kirkby Lonsdale and the surrounding villages and tryingto reach those in particular need. Speak Boldly- through initiatives such as family trails, working with schools, other Family Project activities and also through public worship opportunities such as the Good Friday service in the Market Square. Tread Gently- including starting to look at how we can use our buildings more efficiently. Volunteers Each church has a loyal group of volunteers who assist the ministry team in providing regular acts of worship, including weddings, funerals and baptisms. Volunteers also play a major part in the maintenance of churchyards and general housekeeping within the church buildings. Risks and Uncertainties The PCC faces the following risks and uncertainties: Risk Declining congregations and supporters Reduced income Level Medium Mitigation The PCC and the churches continuously monitor the financial viability of each church. Each church has a responsibility to maintain its own building and to contribute to the costs of the clergy through the Parish Offer. If there were concerns about financial viability these would be raised with the Archdeacon and discussed with the local community to find a way forward. Declining congregations and supporters Lack of volunteers Medium Each church is responsible for finding volunteers to fill these roles. The specific minimum roles to be filled are those responsible to the PCC for looking after health and safety, buildings and grounds, assets and building security (normally the Churchwarden). The other necessary role is the Treasurer. Failure of a community to find individuals to fulfil these roles would be referred to the Archdeacon. Repairs needed to church buildings Medium Every 5 years each church has an independent Quinquennial Report which assesses the church buildings and details work that will need to be done. Each church District Church Council {DCC), along with the local community is responsible for contributing to the costs of providin8 clergy (the Parish Offer) and looking aftertheir church building. If the building cannot be maintained to a safe standard then it will be closed either temporarily or permanently.

BA724F12-AD6F4E3E-B4A&kBD70A70C80A1 KIRKBY LONSDALE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Financial Review In 2024 total income was £355,084 compared with £220,823 in 2023. Legacies received in 2024 were £41,045, a significant increase on the 2023 figure of £9,152. In 2022 legacies amounted to £65,272, showing how important legacies are to the PCC'S financial position. Grants totalling £88,776 were received in 2024, compared with £6,360 in 2023. The majority of the 2024 grant receipts related to St Mary's Church, including £20,000 towards the cost of major repairs, £10,983 from the Listed Places of Worship (LPOWI scheme, and £37,833 relating to events fundraising. In 2024 total expenditure was £508,409 compared with £351,733 in 2023. The main element of this significant increase in costs was the £138,924 spent on major repairs to churches, compared with £6,996 in 2023. £76,068 related to St Mary's, which is in the midst of a comprehensive repairs and re-ordering project. St Patrick's and 5t Bartholomew's spent £44,622 and £18,234 respectively on roof refurbishment. Donations to charities in 2024 amounted to £11,508, compared with £7,300 in 2023. This increase largely arose from collections at weddings and funerals distributed according to the wishes of the families involved. In 2024 there were higher expenses for clergy and pastoral staff, amounting to £14,701 compared with £2,300 in 2023. The increase was a combination of a higher contribution to the Kendal Methodist Circuit for shared resources at St Bartholomew's church and higher activity costs for the Family Project. In 2023 there was a high level of churchyard expenditure in St Marfs, associated with the closure of the Brow footpath. This was the main reason the total PCC church running expenditure of £99,747 in 2024 was £13,916 less than 2023. Utility costs (mostly gas and electricity), after surging in 2022 and 2023, levelled out in 2024 and at £32,908 finished up slightly less than the 2023 figure of £34,373. The excess of expenditure over income in 2024 was £153,325 (£130,910 in 2023). There were net gains on investments of £31,764, compared with net gains of £57,485 in 2023. These gains and losses are calculated based on the change in market value of our investments at the end of the financial year compared with the beginning. These are mostly 'unrealised' gains and losses, which have no cash flow effect. Dividend and Interest Income was £41,766 {£39,581 in 2023). There was a transfer of £23,242 {£21,560 in 2023) from unrestricted funds to restricted funds, representing the PCC'S contribution to the Family Project. Overall, there was a net deficit of £121,561 in 2024 (£73,425 net deficit in 2023). After deducting the net deficit for the year, total funds as at 31 December 2024 amounted to £1,299,963 {£1,421,424 in 2023}. The allocation of the funds between unrestricted, restricted and endowment is shown in note 6 to the Financial Statements. The different purposes of the reserves are explained under 'Reserves Policy, below. The PCC has a wide spread of investments (in order to reduce risk) in equities, fixed interest and property, almost all of which are held in CBF Church of England Funds. At the 31 December 2024, these investments were valued at £1,038,093 (£1,039,329 in 2023). Liquid current assets amounted to £205,8101£336,495 in 2023) comprising cash held in bank current and deposit accounts.

BA724F12-AD6F4E3E-B4A&kBD70A70C80A1 KIRKBY LONSDALE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Reserves Policy The PCC regularly reviews its future liabilities to understand whether it is retaining a suitable level of reserves. At 31 December 2024 total reserves were £1,299,863. Of this amount: £330,879 is a permanent endowment and therefore not available to meet any of the PCC'S liabilities. Income from the endowment is available to meet unrestricted expenditure. £ 176,053 represents restricted reserrfes, which comprise several different funds set up to provide for items of expenditure specified by the donors, as set out in note 6. £ 792,931 represents unrestricted reseres. It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least 6 months unrestricted payments. Based on 2024 expenditure this is equivalent to approximately £215,000, and 15 held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. This leaves £577,931 to cover future maintenance and renovation costs relating to our 7 remaining churches. St Mary's Kirkby Lonsdale is Grade I listed. and all the other churches are Grade 2 listed. Looking at the Architect's Quinquennial Report for each of the 7 churches, there are significant future maintenance requirements. There are major Structural problems with the roof and tower of St Mary's Kirkby Lonsdale. Other churches will need extensive roof work and stonework repair and repointing over the next 5 to 20 years, and some of this was carried out in 2024. Significant further expenditure might become necessary in the future relating to land subsidence adjacent to St Mary's churchyard. The PCC recognises that there are not enough funds to address all the liabilities identified in the Architect's Quinquennial Reports at the time they are needed. The Churchwardens and representatives from each Church have been asked to consider how they may address the shortfall. Plans for Future Periods St Mary's has embarked on a major redevelopment of the church as part of the 'Big Vision, for all the church buildings and surroundings in Kirkby Lonsdale. The estimated cost of this work is well in excess of the PCC reserves, and the considerable amount of preliminary work from architects, structural engineers and other professional specialists has led to the exceptional expenditure identified on page 4 of the financial review. There has been some success in securing modest grants for minor elements of the project, and there are continuing discussions with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which is the main source of grants for large scale heritage projects. Strurture, Governance and Management The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended, and the Church Representation Rules, which set out the method of appointment of PCC members. The PCC membership consists of the incumbent (our Rector), ordained clergy in the team, Churchwardens, Readers, parish representatives on the Deanery Synod, members elected by the individual church councils within the parish and co-opted members. The PCC is responsible for the 7 churches in the Rainbow Parish, and the Church of the Holy Ghost churchyard in Middleton. This includes ensuring compliance with church and state rules and regulations and overseeing the finance of the Parish. It sets policy on finance, health & safety and safeguarding. As many of the responsibilities as possible are delegated to the Churchwardens and the District Church Councils {DCCs) who manage the individual churches and churchyards.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of preparation The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. Kirkby Lonsdale Parochial Church Council meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the adoption of market value for investments. The financial statements are a consolidation of the individual financial statements for the 8 churches within the Ecclesiastical Parish and the central income and expenditure for the Parochial Church Council (PCC). The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. (b) Income Planned Giving Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation receipt is recognised. Income from investments Dividends and interest entitlements are accounted for when received. Income from legacies Legacies are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and the settlement date. Income from endowments Endowment funds must be retained as capital funds, but the income is credited to the unrestricted reserves related to the relevant church. (c) Expenditure All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Diocesan Parish Share The PCC'S contribution to the Diocesan Parish Share comprises the total offers made by the 8 member churches in the Ecclesiastical Parish. The Parish Share is accounted for when paid. Any amount offered but unpaid at 31st December is shown as a note to the accounts, unless the PCC has authorised payment to be made after the year end and therefore to be shown as a creditor in the Balance sheet. 12

(e) Debtors Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. (f) Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and 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. (g) Creditors and provisions 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. (h) Investment gains and losses All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial attivities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated a5 the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities. (i) Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have 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 reseples for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. ti) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumption5 are reviewed on an ongoing basis. In the opinion of the Trustees there have been no significant judgements made in the process of applying the above accounting policies. There have been no key assumptions concerning future and other key 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 financial year. 13
