THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Waterloo (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew) (“the PCC”) submits its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in the format prescribed by the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2019) and the Financial Reporting Standard 102. The legal and administrative information set out earlier in this document forms part of this report.

The PCC co-operates with the incumbent, Revd Canon Giles Goddard, in promoting the whole mission of the Church within its Parish and beyond. It also has responsibility for the non-stipendiary staff and the maintenance of the Church buildings. In essence, the PCC is a consultative body that represents the views of the congregation as well as its own. It should communicate, where appropriate, any decisions of the PCC or its committees to the church; oversee and advise in the financial affairs of the church; pray and champion the vision for the church.

1. Structure, governance and management

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England which operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC of St John with St Andrew Waterloo was registered with the Charity Commission in November 2009. Within the parish there are two churches: St John the Evangelist, Waterloo Road and St Andrew, Short Street.

The PCC includes representatives from the congregation and the clergy team. It meets on a roughly two-monthly basis, with an average of six meetings per year. This complies with regulations which stipulate that PCCs must meet no fewer than four times a year. The appointment of PCC members is governed by the Church Representation Rules. There is a process in place for the recruitment, induction and training of PCC members, making use of diocesan or deanery training courses when available. The PCC complies with diocesan requirements on safeguarding policies and risk assessment. It also complies with statutory requirements regarding employment, access and health and safety.

The PCC and the incumbent share the responsibility for taking forward the work of the parish. They address issues such as long-term financial planning; quinquennial report and capital spend plans; team ministry issues; annual worship review; annual tithe allocation review; fundraising strategy; managing policies and processes around risk management, safeguarding policies; health and safety; disability discrimination legislation.

1.1 Enabling Committee (Standing Committee)

This is the only sub-committee required by law. It is the leadership team of the PCC and plans the work of the full PCC over the year. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC. Its membership comprises the incumbent, assistant curates, churchwardens, the PCC secretary and treasurer and sub-committee chairs.

1.2 Church Attendance

The electoral roll is completely reviewed and revised once every six years and has been updated. At the last APCM the electoral roll stood at 116 (2022: 116).

1.3 Risk Management

The PCC acknowledges that they have a responsibility for the identification and proper management of risks faced by the church in achieving its primary aims. The PCC has therefore assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular, those relating to the specific operational areas of the church, its investments and its finances. The PCC believes that, by monitoring reserves levels, by ensuring that controls exist over key financial systems, and by examining the operational risks faced by the church, it has established effective systems and procedures to mitigate those risks. A comprehensive risk register was undertaken in 2019. A brief summary follows.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

Operational Area	Risk	Management
Security & Safeguarding	There is a major security, safeguarding, or health & safety incident	Safeguarding – there is a safeguarding policy in place and two designated safeguarding officers. All volunteers who have direct contact with children or vulnerable adults as well as Pastoral team members are required to have a DBS, which is renewable every three years; we ensure that insurance policies are up-to-date and cover us for identified risks; wemaintainup-to-dateincidentlogs.
Finances	Income and expenditure: there is a risk that expenditure could exceed income	To mitigate these potential risks the PCC has approved an unrestricted funds budget which shows a surplus of income over expenditure. Monthly management accounts are prepared comparing income and expenditure with budget; PCC officials ensure proper authorisation of expenditure in line with the target operational cash reserves of three months’budgetedexpenditure.
	Potential liabilities: there is an uninsured liability whichcrystallises	To mitigate this potential risk, we ensure that insurance policies are up- to-date and include employer’s liability, public liability, buildings insurance, contentsinsurance andproperty owner’sliability.

The Finance and Major Fundraising Committee continued to meet roughly monthly. One objective was to prepare, monitor and update 10-year cashflow projections for the repayment of loans given by members of the congregation, diocese and loan from CAF Bank secured on the office space held as an investment property at 17, Short Street. A second objective was to monitor the securing of future lettings income from the buildings to cover the day to day running costs of the buildings and repaying the loans advanced.

1.4 Quinquennial inspection. As a result of the extensive planned building works, the Archdeacon advised that the 2022 quinquennial should be postponed until 2023. The St John’s report was issued in July 2023 and there were no significant requirements. The St Andrew’s report was issued in November 2023 and there were no significant requirements.

1.5 Terriers – the inventory of the church’s property. These have been fully revised and updated for both St John’s and St Andrew’s. All property is in place and in acceptable condition.

2. Objectives and activities

2023 saw the first complete year of operation in the renovated St John’s Church. We re-established our worship and community programme and welcomed back many long-standing orchestras and choirs. We also built a strong relationship with Bovingdons, our events contractor, with whom we have an exclusive corporate events contract. Bovingdons began to build a strong business, including conferences, dinners and fashion shows.

We are pleased to support the work of various charities who use our buildings on a reduced or no-cost basis. These include Southbank Sinfonia, an orchestra offering young musicians the experience of playing professionally; Futures Theatre, a company creating interactive drama in schools to address societal issues, such as drug abuse and youth pregnancy; a counselling service for those with long-term alcohol dependency; and a community bingo evening.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at the churches and to be at the heart of our parish community of Waterloo. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how the services can involve many diverse groups that live, work and pass through the Parish.

Particular attention is paid to ensuring that the services offered at the different churches complement each other and therefore enable as many people as possible to take part. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning the activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance to charities for the advancement of religion.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

Regular worship and prayer open to all: learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ;
Provision of sacred spaces for personal prayer and contemplation;
Provision of pastoral care for people living within the parish;
The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups;
The provision of facilities for charitable organisations offering opportunities for learning and development;
The promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings;
Promotion of the whole mission of the Church through the provision of activities for specific groups;
Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas selected annually by the congregation.

To facilitate this work, it is crucial that we maintain the fabric of the two churches and ensure its fitness for the purposes of the wide variety community users.

Recognising our unique position in the neighbourhood, our annually evaluated Mission Action Plan seeks to address neighbourhood as well as congregational need while reaching out to the wider London community, based on the Diocese’s “Five Marks of Mission”. Work continued implementing the new five-year vision to reflect the development and evolving focus of St John’s, adopting as the overarching purpose of the parish the new strap line “Here for You”. The MAP will be further developed for 2024 – 7 as we adjust to the new St John’s Church post redevelopment.

It was good year for the churchyard, with senior community gardener Filipa da Silva replacing Vivien Williamson in January. She made a great impact on the efficient running and maintenance in liaison with Lambeth as well as through her Bridge at Waterloo work with our Roots and Shoots and ex-St Mungo’s volunteers, all of whom have made progress under her mentorship. Our vision for the churchyard as a key opportunity for mission is building on its promise among the wider user-group. We have received strong support from the local community.

The Bridge at Waterloo, our community engagement charity, introduced a new work stream – Room for You, overseen by the Outreach Coordinator, Abigail Tripp. We offered English language classes, art sessions, lunch for volunteers and isolated people, and we developed a good relationship with the Mental Health Fight Club. We also obtained funding for a new yoga project, working with the local Health Centre.

3. Achievements and performance

We maintained the pattern of regular worship: a 9am morning prayer service and a Eucharist at 10:30 on Sundays, and daily morning prayer at 8:30. The services have continued to be held both in person and on Zoom.

All are welcome to attend these regular services and we have welcomed many new people online – literally all over the world during the year. At the last annual meeting there were 116 parishioners on the combined Church Electoral Roll.

We have continued to take our aspiration to be a fully inclusive church seriously. We also welcomed the publication of the Church of England’s Living in Love and Faith resources on identity, gender and sexual orientation, and used the resources in 2023.

The services for Holy Week were open to all and are publicised via our website, individual household invitations and church magazines. Our Column Inches parish magazine also moved online, with a very positive reception: we continued to print copies for those who do not have access to the internet.

The total attending Christmas services including carols, in person and online, for congregation and community was approximately 833. The combined total Christmas Eve and Christmas Day attendance of adults and children was 123 at all the special services.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

Deepening the spiritual life of the parish was a key focus during 2023. We continued to build our Rule of Life engagement, with over 30 people involved, and we also ran a Lent Course focusing on a book: The Gift of the Authentic Self by David Benner attracting over 25 people. We also introduced a very popular season of events focusing on the interface between spirituality and justice – Exploring Spirit.

We hosted one memorial service and no weddings during 2023.

As part of our mission to develop personal engagement in worship and community, groups continue to be responsible at Sunday Eucharist for welcome, offertory, collection (and subsequent counting) with others trained in lesson reading and intercessions.

Our relationship with Okusinza Church continues to be valued.

The teaching of Christianity takes place in all services via the use of sermons, readings and talks. In addition, our Pioneer Curate Georgia Ashwell took responsibility for our younger adults group ‘Face-to-Faith’ – in person and online during 2023. We were joined by a second Curate, Grey Collier who is focusing on supporting children and youth, and our Open Table worship for LGBTQ people.

St John’s Development Project

The final payment was made to Buxtons the building contractor in the spring of 2023, and the retention figure was held in our accounts pending the completion of the defects period, which is in train. The retention will be paid in 2024.

Deanery Synod

Two members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod (currently one vacancy) and this provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.

Pastoral Care

The Parish is blessed with a Southwark Pastoral Auxiliary (SPA) who, along with the Clergy Team, visit those who are unable to attend church due to sickness or age and enable these people to take communion on a regular basis.

Environment and Social Justice

The Environment and Social Justice Committee carries responsibility for the parish’s wider mission; with a key objective of raising awareness within the congregation of the spread of our existing activities and encouraging participation where possible.

Please note that some of the actions and events mentioned below are sometimes overlaps or areas also covered by other PCC sub-committees, clergy or congregation members and their very own efforts:

PCC Outward Giving / Charity of the Month. St John’s is still supporting our core charities in 2023: Christian Aid, USPG and the Bishops Lent Call. We also encourage members of our congregation to be generous in their own support for other good causes.

Maintaining links with Foodbank, Robes and other projects for the homeless. The Foodbank remained delivery only, from a warehouse in Streatham. Once the building re-opened, it acted as a hub for some individuals to come and collect pre-ordered food parcels or advice. We reopened our night shelter provision with the Robes Project in Jan – March 2023.

Maintaining Links with Christian Aid. Jenny O’Neill and Kate Portal participated in fundraising events for Christian Aid.

The regular Fair Trade and Zaytoum stall continued in church after the services, twice a year.

Links with Citizens UK / Lambeth Citizens and other organisations and various community groups via The Bridge at Waterloo.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

Climate change took a central role in our work in 2023 – both as a church and through our work with Faith for the Climate, founded at St John’s Waterloo and chaired by Giles Goddard.

Eco Church – St John’s was pleased to achieve Eco Church Gold - the first church in the Diocese of Southwark to reach this milestone.

Charitable Support

As well as its charitable giving, the PCC also decided to increase its payments to the Diocesan Parish Support Fund. In 2023, despite the building works, we were able to keep our pledge and pay £84,180 (2022: £81,200). In 2024, £86,300 has been pledged. Our ambition in future is to help the Diocese fund parishes that are less fortunate than ours.

Use of the Crypt - the PCC and Board of The Bridge at Waterloo (“TBAW”) have an agreed policy of allowing organisations that support our Vision to occupy space in the Crypt on licence fees of 60% of the normal rates in Waterloo.

Use of Church Buildings

The PCC has responsibility for the two sites where the churches are situated.

St John the Evangelist: this consists of a large church and crypt. The church is normally open every day and is extensively used by local people and local, London-wide and national institutions such as the Southbank Sinfonia, Christian Aid and the Diocese of Southwark. The crypt normally provides a home for four arts organisations: Southbank Sinfonia, Futures Theatre Company and Bankside Keys.

St Andrew’s is used by numerous local, London-wide and national groups as well as being a worship space – for example, National Childbirth Trust, Young Vic Theatre, National Theatre. Regular tenants of the office spaces were Lambeth CRUSE bereavement services and Prisoner Penfriends. Also, Panacea and CharcoalBlue as commercial tenants.

The Bridge at Waterloo

The members of the company are the incumbent and two churchwardens ex officio. Full details of TBAW’s activities are included in its Annual Report.

4. Going Concern

Each year it’s the PCC’s responsibility to state whether or not the annual accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis (see the accounting policy note on page 15). Going concern is the assumption that an entity, in this case the PCC, has the resources (financial and other) needed to continue operating for the foreseeable future and, in particular, for at least 12 months from the date of approval by the PCC of these annual accounts. If the going concern principle did not apply, then the accounts would be drawn up on an insolvent basis.

5. Financial Review

Total income on unrestricted funds was £685,015 (2022: £246,129) and is detailed in note 2. Letting of the commercial offices and ground rents at St Andrew’s continue as income to the PCC. Payments totalling £491,825 (2022: £252,795) were made on unrestricted general church activities including the Diocese Parish Support Fund, maintenance and staff, and are detailed in note 3. Consequently unrestricted general receipts exceeded payments by £193,190 (2022: payments exceeded receipts by £6,666).

The restricted funds continue to be used for a variety of activities and causes. The St Johns Development Fund (Main Fund) shows a deficit of £68,057 (2022: deficit of £93,056). In 2022 the charity received an advance of £100,000 from South Bank Sinfonia. The advance was to be used for the costs of the refurbishment of the venue, in particular upgrading the historic church and crypt to improve acoustics, lighting and accessibility as well as establishing upgraded office space. In exchange South Bank Sinfonia is entitled to occupy the crypt spaces known as the SBS Rehearsal Room, SBS Office and SBS Store for a period of 4 years from the completion date of the current renovation works (15 October 2022). The income has been deferred and will be released to the St Johns Development Fund (Main Fund) over the next 2 years by the end of which the deficit will have been extinguished.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

The final price of Buxton’s contract was agreed in December 2022 with a retention of 2.5% being due after the end of the defects period. All costs of the Buxton’s contract including retention monies were provided in full in the 2022 accounts. A commitment was made that any loans taken out to secure the completion of the project would not exceed the valuation of the two properties held as investment properties. The long-term tenant of the Short Street office signed a new 5-year lease in 2022.

The Finance and Major Fundraising Committee has reported regularly to CAF Bank and the Diocese regarding matching budgets to actual results. One of the congregation loans was converted into a gift during 2023 and a further loan advanced.

By the end of 2023 the deficit showing on the Unrestricted General Funds at the end of 2022 has been cleared. All loan repayments and interest due in 2023 were paid.

6. Reserves Policy

The PCC currently follows a policy of maintaining a balance on unrestricted funds of at least three months of its unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time, and should these funds drop below this level the PCC will normally take immediate steps to restore the unrestricted funds to three months of unrestricted expenditure. At 31 December 2023, the PCC had net free reserves of £1,103,576 (2022: £964,977) as follows:

Total reserves Less: designated funds Add: restricted funds deficit Add: long term loans Free reserves Free reserves requirement: 3 month’s budgeted routine expenditure	2023	2022 £ 169,038 (373,258 77,388 1,091,809	)

7. Investment Policy

7.1 General Funds

The PCC holds investments in local property to provide a regular rental income for the church. Amounts held over and above funds required for working capital are held in bank short term deposits.

7.2 Restricted Funds

Amounts held over and above funds required for working capital are held in bank short term deposits.

8. Plans for Future Periods

Most of our plans for 2024 are continuing to unlock the potential of the renovated building for church, community and revenue generating activities.

9. Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements

The PCC is responsible for preparing the report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Charity law in England and Wales requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the PCC and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the PCC for that period.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Parochial Church Council

In preparing those financial statements, the PCC is required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the PCC will continue.

The PCC is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document.

The PCC is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence 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 PCC and financial information included in the PCC website.

10. Approval

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 8 September 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

Canon Giles Goddard Chair

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WATERLOO (St John the Evangelist with St Andrew)

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Parochial Church Council of Waterloo Parochial Church Council

I report on the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Waterloo for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 12 to 28.

Respective responsibilities of PCC and examiner

The PCC is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The treasurers of the new parishes consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeds £250,000, and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

The basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (the Charities SORP) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting except for the revaluation of investment properties which are shown at market value.

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 an affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.

The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going Concern

During the financial year the charity generated a general funds surplus of £170,804. As at the balance sheet date the PCC, in terms of general funds, had net current assets of £64,150. The PCC is closely monitoring the financial results and reporting to lenders on a monthly basis. The current results and forecasts show that the PCC is on target to make a small surplus in both 2024 and 2025. On this basis the PCC is confident in the PCC’s ability to continue as a going concern and accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.

Income recognition

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are included when the PCC becomes entitled to, probably will receive, and can reliably measure the income. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is recorded in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.

The income from trading activities includes rental income from the letting of church premises and investment properties which is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable and the amount can be measured reliably. The PCC is not registered for VAT so expenditure includes VAT where charged.

Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes property maintenance costs.

Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the PCC’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the PCC. These include grants payable, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the PCC’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the PCC.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.

The PCC contributes to certain employees' personal pension plans. These are defined contribution schemes, the assets of which are held separately from those of the charity. The cost in the accounts is the amount of contributions paid and payable during the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Tangible Fixed Assets

Consecrated Property and Moveable Church Furnishings

Consecrated land and benefice property such as the church building and vicarage is excluded from the accounts in accordance with s10 of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church contents are held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and require a faculty for disposal are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. All expenditure incurred on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is expensed within the Statement of Financial Activities.

Other Fixtures, Fittings & Office Equipment

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts-in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt. Depreciation is calculated to write off fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Fixtures & Fittings 10 years
• Sound System 5 years • Office Equipment & Computers 3 years • Solar panels 5 years

Intangible Fixed Assets

The PCC received a generous donation of Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency asset, during 2021. There were disposals in both 2021 and 2022, with there being no holding at 31 December 2022. The Bitcoin has been accounted for as an intangible fixed asset in accordance with the ICAEW Helpsheet on Cryptocurrency, issued by ICAEW’s Technical Advisory Service. The value of the asset at the point of receipt and holding at 31 December 2021 were valued at fair value using data provided by coinmarketcap.com. Gains/losses on revaluation have been disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fixed Asset Investments

Freehold land and buildings are stated at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are reflected through the Statement of Financial Activities.

Debtors

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

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 opening of the deposit.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 recognised at their settlement amount.

Loans

The PCC has two categories of borrowings: (1) concessionary loans from members of the congregation (on which some or no interest is payable), which are recognised at the amount received. (2) loans which are basic financial instruments, which are initially recognised at the amount advanced less material arrangement fees where applicable and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fund accounting

The funds held by the charity are either:

Unrestricted funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

16. Related Party Transactions and Balances

The Revd Canon Giles Goddard and Elaine Thomas, both members of the PCC, also served as trustees of The Bridge at Waterloo (“TBAW”) (charity registered no. 1167768) during the year. The following were the transactions between the two entities:

Licence Fee. Whilst the PCC has overall responsibility for the two church buildings, St John the Evangelist and St Andrew, TBAW managed the maintenance of both church buildings and all lettings until 31 December 2022. Income and expenditure relating to the use of St John’s church (as opposed to the crypt) is allocated to the PCC. All other income and expenditure relating to use by external parties of all other parts of the two buildings was retained/incurred by TBAW until 31 December 2022 in exchange for a licence fee payable to the PCC. During the year a licence fee of £nil (2022 £54,351) was payable to the PCC.
Donation from PCC to TBAW to compensate for TBAW’s loss of income whilst the building project was in process: £nil (2022: £18,000). The donation is included within designated fund: St Johns Development Project Costs.
A grant of £11,744 (2022: £11,790) from PCC to TBAW in respect of TBAW’s responsibility for the upkeep of the churchyard, including volunteer management.
Salaries recharge from TBAW to PCC: £55,731 (2022: £60,113).

As a result of all of these transactions, together with brought forward amounts, the net amount due from the PCC to TBAW at 31[st] December 2023 was £nil (2022: £13,967).
