Objectives
The Parochial Church Council (“PCC”) of Christ Church, Guildford has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has responsibility for the maintenance of its properties including the Church itself. The members of the PCC are the Trustees of the Charity.
Our Mission Statement is – “as the family of Christ Church, in the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to know Christ better, to make Christ better known and to witness to God’s love in active concern for the wholeness of others”.
In practice this includes developing opportunities to enable the discipleship of all members of Christ Church to continue to grow, through small groups, prayer meetings, specific training opportunities and regular teaching. It means enabling all members of Christ Church to reach out to our neighbours to introduce Christ’s saving love and to continue to grow our church in depth and number. It means encouraging all of us to serve the needs of our community and the world, through acts of service, financial generosity and prayer support.
Through carrying out these objectives, the PCC confirms that they have complied with their duty to deliver public benefit having considered relevant Charity Commission guidance.

Financial Review
COVID-19 impact
The church activities for 2022 returned to a normal service pattern during the year with greater use of the Church for meetings and increase use of the Church Hall and Church House. The most significant impact on the finances of the church has been a reduction in voluntary planned income as the numbers giving to the church has reduced.
Incoming Resources
Total income for the year was £305,190 (2021: £261,362).
The most significant source of income other than voluntary income came through a legacy of £62,259 and from the lettings of the hall and meeting rooms, which have recovered when unavailable for rent due to the Covid pandemic, contributing income of £48,281 (2021: £30,154). We welcome all users who provide us with a valuable connection to the community and in 2022 we welcomed the use our church and hall from new users including orchestras and choirs.
The income for 2022 is summarised below:

Resources Expended
Expenditure totalled £244,304 (2021: £299,432) and comprised the costs of the Church of £191,183 (2021: £192,477), mission and outreach of £25,315 (2021: £19,622) and one-off major project expenditure of £28,806 (2021: £87,443).
The one-off project spend was funded from cash reserves and comprised £20,478 of spend for the Church Hall Heating system, and £8,328 for new boiler and repairs to Ivor Close.
The costs for 2022 are split as follows, with the change from the prior year shown in brackets:
Mission and Outreach
We support a range of Christian organisations, individuals and activities involved in mission and outreach. The PCC allocates 10% of unrestricted voluntary income towards outward giving. The outward giving amount, excluding specific appeals, was £16,345 (2021: £17,104). At 31 December 2022, excluding the Christmas appeal, there was a balance of £3,100 (2021: £3,100) remaining in our outward giving fund to be paid in a future year.
In addition, we supported the 2022 Christmas Appeal which raised £3,420 from giving in 2022, split between two charities – 50% one UK based with £1,710 to Canterbury Centre and 50% to one international charity, with £1,710 to Anglican International Development.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Reserves & Result for the Year
The surplus for the year was £60,886 (2021: £38,070 deficit) which included £28,806 of one-off project spend. This one-off project spend was mainly funded from cash reserves and comprised £20,478 for the church hall heating system, £8,328 for works to Ivor Close.
Without the exceptional legacy income of £62,259 the result for the year would have been a small deficit of £1,373.
We are budgeting to have a deficit for 2022 of around £47k before one-off project costs and fundraising requests have started to address this with the aim to provide sufficient funds on an ongoing basis to employ a new Children, Families and Youth Pastor/Evangelist.
The unrestricted reserves position at the end of 2022 was as follows:
| General Fund Designated Funds: Property Available Reserves Designated Funds: Fixed Asset Fund Total unrestricted funds |
2022 2021 £’000 £’000 97 46 30 30 |
|---|---|
| 127 76 110 105 237 181 |
There is a further £42,461 (2021: £38,176) of restricted reserves.
The PCC maintains its unrestricted reserves in three funds:
-
The fixed asset fund represents the net book value of tangible fixed assets after longterm financing from the mortgage, to indicate that those funds are not available for other purposes;
-
The property fund allows for potential major building work; and
-
The general fund represents the balance of unrestricted funds.
The PCC has an overall objective to maintain a minimum level of general funds equivalent to three months of next year’s budgeted expenditure. At the end of the 2021 year the balance of the general fund was £97,075 (2021: £46,237), representing 4.6 months (2021: 2.4 months) of next year’s budgeted expenditure.

Structure and Governance
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is registered with the Charity Commission under number 1132305 as The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church Guildford.
The PCC’s current composition and changes in the year is set out on page 20.
PCC and Standing Committee
The full PCC met 9 (2021:8) times during the year with an average attendance of 85% (2021:88%). Standing Committee met 6 times (2021:8) with an average attendance of 93% (2021:94%) and their meetings were minuted to the full PCC. The Standing Committee has power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.
The PCC has 5 subgroups to look at key areas in the lie of the church (Youth & Children; Communication; Finance; Buildings; Community Partnership & Missional Engagement). The PCC also invites other members of the congregation to advise them on a regular or ad-hoc basis on a range of issues. The PCC are grateful to Adam Warner and Rachel Nicolaou for their work in 2022 and oversight in the areas of Child Safeguarding and Adult Safeguarding respectively. These individuals report to the PCC on an annual basis, or more regularly as required, to train and support the PCC to ensure that we understand and implement appropriate policies and actions.
Internal Control and Risk Management
The PCC have overall responsibility for the Centre’s systems of internal control. There is a clear delegation of the PCC’s authority through the Vicar to the rest of the organisation. The annual budget is approved by the Trustees. Significant changes to budget are subject to specific approval. A financial reporting system compares results with the budget together with forecasts of the expected results.
As part of the annual planning process the key risks the PCC faces are re-assessed and evaluated by the PCC and the Leadership Team. The following are considered the PCC’s potential main risks:
-
Income
-
Property
-
Safeguarding
-
Health and Safety
-
Staffing
The PCC are satisfied that systems are in place to monitor, manage and mitigate the exposure to identified risks. Operational risks are insured against as far as practicable. The PCC has adopted policies to manage Health and Safety and Safeguarding risks and copies of these policies are on display in Church or are available on request.
Investment Policy
The PCC’s investment policy covers the investment of all monies held by the PCC that are surplus to the amounts needed on a day-to-day basis and aims to maintain as liquid a position as possible consistent with a risk management policy of minimum risk. Consequently, most funds are held by our main clearing bank (Lloyds).

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHRIST CHURCH, GUILDFORD
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Reserves Policy
The overall aim of the reserve policy is to ensure the PCC is using an appropriate level of resources in fulfilling its objectives whilst maintaining sufficient reserves to ensure stability and flexibility. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of its Church and other buildings which can entail significant amounts of expenditure occurring unevenly. The PCC maintains a rolling forecast of future capital needs and balances the role of building up reserves for maintenance with raising additional funds when needed.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the activities of the Church will continue as a going concern
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Church. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the principal accounting policies and the related notes.
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As described in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities on page 6, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with Applicable Law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 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 2011 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHRIST CHURCH, GUILDFORD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. Principal Accounting Policies
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by 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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The PCC is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
a) Funds
Restricted funds represent income that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Unrestricted Funds represents the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
b) Incoming Resources
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are reported gross.
c)
Resources expended
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is recognised when it is payable. All resource expenditure is accounted for gross.
Grants and donations given for a specific cause as part of a church event are recognised as restricted funds and are reflected in income and expenditure of the PCC. Grants and donations given where the PCC acts only as a conduit for funds raised (e.g. collections at a funeral) do not form part of the income or expenditure or the PCC.

1. Accounting Policies (continued)
d) Fixed assets
Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by S.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. Expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice property and movable church furnishings is recognised as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities
Moveable church furnishings are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available.
Other Land and Buildings
Freehold buildings are included at their historic cost as permitted on the adoption of FRS102.
Freehold land and buildings are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful life of 25 years for church buildings. In 2020 residential buildings were no longer depreciated from 2020 onwards as it was considered that their market value exceeded their net book value and the on-going maintenance costs supported the current carrying value.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment costing more than £1,000 is capitalised. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis at 33% per annum for computer equipment, and 25% per annum for other equipment.
e)
- Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December are shown net of any provision for uncollectable amounts. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the Boom Credit Union Fund or at the bank/building society.
