Trustees Annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023. As a registered charity the Trustees have to report each year to the Charity Commission on the activities of the charity.

The trustees for the purpose of the Charity Commission of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Swinton and Pendlebury (charity registration number 1131913) are the members of the Parochial Church Council.

The parish of Swinton and Pendlebury is a large urban parish in the north-west district of the area covered by Salford City Council (and the city council’s Civic Centre lies within the parish, centred on Swinton Town Hall). It lies astride the A6, the M60/M62, and the ManchesterAtherton-Wigan railway line. The population of the parish is about 25,000. The population of Salford is currently expected to grow steadily over the next ten years and there are plans for significant housing development within the parish and when we know whether some or all of these will go forward we will have to consider our response in terms of mission and ministry. The parish is served by three churches, the parish church of Saint Peter, and the district churches of All Saints and Saint Augustine. The church of Saint Augustine is a Grade One listed building and the church of Saint Peter is Grade Two *. There is a parish hall, the Fletcher Hall, and the parish owns three units of housing, the curate’s house at 46 Townsend Road, a property left to the parish at 86 Eccles Road, and The Gatehouse at Saint Augustine’s (also listed). All three are rented at present. The work of three Church of England primary schools : one aided, one maintained school, and one which is part of a multi-academy trust is part of the parish’s ministry and mission.

Numbers at worship continued to recover from the effects of the pandemic during 2023, with strong attendance both at Easter and also at Christmas, where the current closure of the main building at Salford Cathedral led to us being asked to host some extra carol services, which were well-attended.

Financially, 2023 saw us able to pay our parochial apportionment for 2023 in full. Summer and Christmas Fairs were more or less back to normal and made a significant contribution to our financial stability (the Christmas Fairs alone took over £7k.) We also saw other fund-raising activity, Our fee income from marriages and funerals dropped and we think the Church of England may have raised statutory fees beyond what the market will stand. We did end the year with a slight deficit (as in 2022), which however we were able to cover from funds in hand. However, we obviously do not want to continue to see deficits, however small, each year. We held our last stewardship campaign in 2016 and before COVID we noted that we would soon need to be thinking about our next campaign. Obviously it would not have been appropriate to hold such a campaign in 2020, 2021, or 2022. But we are now beginning to plan for such a campaign, probably in 2025. We are very grateful to all who support our parish financially, especially those who do so regularly by forms of planned giving. We endeavour to make full use of Gift Aid, making regular claims, and with Gift Aid envelopes available in each church. Each church has its own Gift Aid secretary and makes its own Gift Aid claims and our churches have

also been benefiting from the Gift Aid on Small Donations scheme (GASD). We are also interested in exploring the possibility for card and contactless donations and payment of parochial fees.

An initial listing and counting of our volunteers would start with the 292 people whose names are on the parochial church electoral roll. Very many people volunteer to aid our activities each year in a variety of ways, including help with fund-raising, with visiting and pastoral care, with a variety of ministries in our prayer and worship, with hospitality, with the maintenance of the fabric of our churches, with our children’s activities, as foundation governors at the schools, and with publicity. Our participation in Heritage Open Days each year is dependent on volunteers assisting our limited stipendiary team. And, of course, those who come and participate in our prayer and worship are overwhelmingly there as volunteers.

The trustees believe that by promoting the work of this parish they help to promote the whole mission of the church and that in so doing they provide a public benefit by providing facilities for public worship, prayer, pastoral care and spiritual, moral, and intellectual development, both for its regular worshippers and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers, and by promoting Christian values and service (such as emergency food support and literacy support) in the community to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. More information on these benefits is clear, we think, throughout this report.

The trustees consider the following to be connected charities:

  1. Saint Augustine’s Restoration and Development Trust, for “the restoration, repair, renewal, improvement and maintenance of the fabric of the Church of Saint Augustine Pendlebury” (regd charity no. 1011150)

  2. Church of Saint Peter, Swinton, Restoration and Development Trust, for the restoration, repair or renewal, maintenance and improvement” of Saint Peter’s Church, Swinton (regd charity no. 514938).

Grants are, on occasion, paid to these connected charities and other charitable projects which appear to the Parochial Church Council to support the furtherance of the parish’s charitable objects.

The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the operation of the parish is exposed have been reviewed and that systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. We endeavour to continue to examine major strategic, financial, and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been and will be implemented to enable the necessary steps to be taken to lessen these risks.

Independent Reviewer's Notes Notes on 2023 Accounts I would like to thank all those concerned with the prepai ation OT these accounts and the co- operation given to me during their examination. The comments that follow are an attempt to provide a way forward ar7d not a criticism. Property All properties were revalued in 2017. St Peter's Wedding Account All outstanding monies should be transferred into the PCC account in 2024, when appropriate. All Saints Fabric Fund This is being managed by the All Saints committee. St Augustine's DCC St Augustine's account5 are managed in line with all other accounts. Parish Share It is once again encouraging to note that the Parish Share was pald in full. Accounts Package It would be useful for training to be given to others so that there would be a number of individuals able to utilise the Parish finance package and assist the Parish treasurer. Paperwork Control There 3re some collection/vestry sheets made out in 2023 which do not come up to the expected standard, For example: a sheet had multiple payments in to the bank under one paying in slip number, however, multiple payments were made in to the bank in different W2yS and on different days. In future, each payment in should be easily identified as sep3 rate entitie5 that tally with the bank statement. Another example that is unacceptable is 2 weekly sheet which the amount shown as banked did not tally with the bank statement. It has been explained to me how thi5 had happened but, rnoving forward the paperwork must match tkie bank statement. When the bank reconcili3tion are completed at each month end. The reconciliation must be in the same order'as the entries on the bank statement. As this cannot be resolved retrospectively for 2023, it must be correct moving into 2024.

Section 2: Swinton & Pendlebury Parishes Independent Examlnerfs Report tothe member5 of the Parochial Church Council I report on the financial statements ofthe PCC forthe period ended 31 December 2023 Respectlve respottsibllltles of Trustees and Examlner. The charit¢5 trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounls. The charit¢s trusteès consider that an audit Is noi required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act}, and that an independent examiner 15 needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts under settion 145 of the 2011 act: To follow procedures laid down in the Eeneral directions given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the 2011 act: and To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examinerfs Report My exainination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination Include.s a revlew of the acco.unting records kept by the charity and 2 comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or discIosLFres in the accounts and seeking explanaLions from you as Trustees concern ins any such matters.. Tlie procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requlred in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and th.e report is limited to th05e rriatters set out in the statement below. Independent Examinerfs Statement In connection with my examination: l. Whlch gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the reouirements.. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Att; and to prepare 3ccount.s which accord ivith the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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. Jean Kateera Bsc 19 Rydal Crescent Swinton Mancliester M27 5WS
