## Report of the Trustees
For the Period Ended 31 December 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 December 2023. The information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
## **OBJECTIVES AND REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS**
The current year (2024) has seen Fr Michael Dobson finish his three-year term as Interim Priest-in-Charge at St. George’s. We now enter a period of interregnum with the full support of Bishop Jonathan and Archdeacon Richard. We will concentrate on planned repairs and maintenance projects for both the Church itself and surrounding Parish rooms and land. We will be working to increase the size of the congregation, running fund-raising events, renewed pastoral work and aim to increase services, all within an air of peace and prayer.
There will also be a new focus on having closer ties with nearby parish churches. The success of the CCX church growth course at St Edmunds as well as achieving a bronze award as an Eco Church will be built upon. The senior team with the congregation of St George's and with the right support want to be able to look forward to a period of calm and growth, both spiritually and numerically.
## **ORGANISATION**
The Church is a registered Charity under number 1132311. It is run by appointed trustees.
## **RESERVES POLICY AND RISK MANAGEMENT**
Projects, whether entailing capital or revenue expenditure, are not initiated until funding is committed. At present, donations are the main source of income for specific projects. General reserves at 31 December 2023 are £49900.
The PCC is determined to offer the highest possible quality of worship which do great honour to God, which are consistent with the one true Holy and Apostolic church throughout the ages and which bless the congregation with a sense of the real presence of God.
## **AGENTS AND ADVISORS**
The reporting accounts are Rishworth Baxter Accountants.
## **REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND AFFAIRS**
The accounts comply with statutory requirements, the governing document and the SORP relating to charities.
## **ACCOUNTS**
The attached statement of account complies with the Charities Act 1993, the Statement of Recommended Practice 2000 and the charity's governing document.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities For the Period Ended 31 December 2023
Charity law requires to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements the Trustees are required to:
a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
b) Make judgments and estimates that are responsible and prudent.
c) State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with SORP2000 and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements.
d) Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue operating.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities

Reporting accountants report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council of The Ecclesiastical Parish of George Hanworth For the Period Ended 31 December 2023
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND REPORTING ACCOUNTANT**
As the Charity's Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43 (7)(b) of the Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS REPORT**
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 any audit opinion on the view given by the Accounts.
## **REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'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;
a) To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Charities Act 1993.
b) To prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
Mr B Baxter
