**Structure, Governance and Management.** 

In accordance with the Church Representation Rules, members of the PCC are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, or are ex-officio, or are co-opted by the PCC. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. At the first meeting of the new PCC on 9[th] July, Melvin Hughes was elected Hon Secretary and Ellen Maden was elected Hon Treasurer. 

## The PCC operates through: 

The Finance Committee, which is responsible to the PCC for all the church’s buildings, fund-raising, financial planning and control. It also has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings. The members of this committee are the incumbent, the churchwardens, the treasurer, the secretary, two representatives from the PCC and the hall manager. 

The Mission Action Committee which is responsible to the PCC for the continuing development of the Mission Action Plan and thereby determining and implementing a strategy for the growth of the Church’s mission within the Parish. The members of this team are the incumbent, the churchwardens, one of the readers, one of the SPAs and a member of the congregation. This committee met a couple of times during 2024 and held a consultation with the congregation in order to draw up the new plan for 2024. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

St. Matthew’s PCC has the responsibility, in co-operation with the incumbent, for promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Church and the movables within the Church; the repair and maintenance of the Church grounds, the parish hall, and 44 Ridgeway Road, Redhill, as well as the conduct of the parish’s financial affairs. 

## **Church Attendance** 

The Electoral Roll in April 2024 had 227 entries following a revision of the data. Church attendance over Easter was 166 and over Christmas was 188. St Matthew’s School held five services in church: an Easter Service, the Annual Leavers’ Service, Harvest Festival, and two Christmas Services.  St Matthew’s Preschool held a Christmas Service in church, as did Wray Common School. 

## **Review of the Year** 

## **PCC** 

The full PCC and the Finance and Standing Committee each met six times during the year. Reports were received from Staff members; Health and Safety issues are discussed at every PCC meeting and addressed accordingly. The Safeguarding Policies, having been reviewed at the annual review, were formally approved and re-adopted at the first PCC meeting after the APCM. The PCC has also reviewed Mission Giving and agreed our Parish Support Fund Pledge. 

## **Published Resources** 

Platform magazine ceased in May 2024 due to a lack of articles submitted and a fall in readership.  This year we produced a Lent booklet with full details of everything that was happening during Lent and Holy Week, which was well-received and will be repeated in the future.  The weekly newsletter continues to be a valuable source of information, and thanks go to Tracey Jennings for producing this. 

## **Inclusion and Outreach** 

St Matthew’s continues to be an inclusive church.  The Pride Café initiative is now up and running at the local Costa Coffee.  We succeeded in obtaining a faculty to set up an inclusion area for children and young people with special educational needs, and an area for wheelchair users to sit within the body of the church, and both these were completed in 2024. Ukrainian Club: The Ukrainian Club continues to meet in the church every 

Page 3 



Saturday.  This club, funded by the local council, provides a safe space for Ukrainian mothers and children to meet to preserve their customs and traditions.  St Matthew’s is a parish with outreach at its vision’s heart. In 2024 the services of the Foodbank continued to be much in demand, and we were delighted to host several well-being clinics and drop-in vaccination sessions run by NHS Alliance for Better Care. The Tuesday Group met twice a month and the Befriending Scheme continued to offer support where needed. The sale of Cards for Good Causes raised over £5000 this year. 

Our links with St Matthew’s School remain strong, with all our foundation Governors’ positions being filled; members of the staff team lead weekly collective worship sessions, and staff communion services are held half-termly. 

The Thursday Lunchtime Music concerts have built on a successful revival in 2023, and the audience continues to grow as the music is of a very high quality.  As well as this, the church is in increasing demand for use by local choirs and music groups. Renewed Hope’s Winter Night Shelter ran at St Matthew’s on Sunday nights from mid December 2023 to the end of February 2024 and opened again in December 2024 with an increasing number of St Matthew’s volunteers participating. 

## **Mission Action Plan** 

The Mission Action Planning Committee met a couple of times during 2024 and launched a major consultation with the congregation to determine priorities for the new Mission Action Plan (MAP).  The 39 responses were analysed and the new MAP was drawn up.

## **Mission and Giving** 

Our Home Mission for 2024 was Welcare and our Overseas Mission for 2024 was Maisha Trust, which received 25% of the proceeds from the Christmas Fair. The Children’s Society received the collection from the Christingle service and retiring collections from all other Christmas services were in aid of Renewed Hope Trust. We also supported the Bishop of Southwark’s Lent Appeal, St Catherine’s Hospice, and Christian Aid. 

In September we launched a Stewardship Campaign to increase regular giving to recover from a continuing fall in income.  By the end of the year, we had pledges from 129 congregation households, indicating an income of c£90,000 in 2025, an increase of £23,300. 

## **Music** 

Our Director of Music, Melvin Hughes, continues to lead the choir as they enhance our Sunday worship. A monthly service of Choral Evensong continues. 

## **Flowers** 

The flower team continues to thrive under the leadership of Coral Edwards. They regularly beautify the church, especially at major festivals. 

## **General Maintenance Church Fabric** 

The usual regular maintenance, inspection and testing has been carried out during the year. We continue to work our way through recommendations made in the Quinquennial Report which was carried out in October 2021, and a number of repairs to the building were carried out by StoneWest in early June. 

A persistent leak in the roof of the Lady Chapel was finally stopped by Watertight Roofing, but the carpet was beyond repair.  When removed, it revealed a fine parquet floor, which the maintenance team cleaned and polished, and is a great improvement to the look of the church. We installed a new sound system in stages during the year, as the previous system had repeated problems.  Stephen Richardson stepped down as operator at 10.00 Sunday services after 25 years, and the work is now carried on by a number of Sidesmen. 

We joined the national church energy basket so that we will benefit from any future energy tariffs negotiated by this body. 

## **Church Hall** 

The Hall continues to be a valuable asset in the community. The committee, chaired by Hugh Jones, continued to ensure that the hall is well-maintained. This year we increased the prices further that we charge for hiring the hall. In addition to regular clients the Hall is increasingly popular for one off events. 

## **External Areas:** 

A new monthly Saturday gardening team, in addition to our existing weekly Thursday team, means that we have been able to increase the attention given to the Church garden areas.  A Parish work day in March made a big difference to a number of areas 

Page 6 



around the Hall and the Church grounds. Our thanks to all the volunteers who have volunteered in these areas over the year. 

## **44, Ridgeway Road** 

The property passed all required inspections. Woodlands continues to manage the property on our behalf, and it produces some much-needed income. 

## **Safeguarding** 

With regard to the PCC's obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. 

## **Financial review** 

A new accounting system was introduced for 2024 which has proved to be a great time saver, offering automation of many of the routine accounting operations as well as managing Gift Aid and Stewardship administration.  Expenses can now also be claimed online expediting the approvals and payment process. 

2024 was a difficult year with a deficit budget, insufficient reserves and uncertainty over income.  As a result of an intensive stewardship campaign, we were able to reduce the deficit slightly and set a balanced budget for 2025.  Focus is now on rebuilding our reserves and developing a sustainable investment plan for the hall fabric. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The PCC has determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash equivalent to at least 3 months' usual unrestricted expenditure (approx. £40k) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £46,410 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year. 

The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities. 

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Approval**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MATTHEW, REDHILL** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Matthew, Redhill ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024 on pages 9 to 13 following. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. 

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

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise a statement that shows the charity's receipts and payments, a statement that summarises the charity's assets and liabilities and related notes. The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs. 

The 2023 comparatives for lettings income and hall running costs have been restated as they incorrectly included non-cash movements in the prior year related to the write off of historic petty cash balances. The correct opening cash funds balance is £106,225 which is £914 lower than was previously reported. 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
