The PCC is also responsible for managing and maintaining the separate, modern church hall, and for the upkeep of the churchyard adjoining the church and for the separate churchyard in Knutsford Road which is in current use for burials and interment of ashes.

Ensuring that all Church facilities and buildings remain in good order and fit for these purposes and comply with public use requirements is an important and demanding PCC responsibility in line with its charitable objects.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Volunteers – All activities overseen by the PCC other than cleaning the church and church hall are carried out on a voluntary basis. The PCC relies entirely on the efforts of these volunteers many with official roles but others serving regularly in small groups and teams, providing for bell ringing, church flowers, community craft groups and Thursday coffee, as well as social events and hall management. The regular voluntary commitment of time, skills and experience by these volunteers helps St Luke’s fulfil its charitable objects as an active and caring church within the local community.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year 2024

Mission and Evangelism - Helping those in need demonstrates Christian faith and supports the PCC’s charitable objects and mission. St Luke’s continues its active support of the Barnabus charity with regular donations of food and clothing to help relieve the hardship and distress of the homeless and destitute in Manchester. Regular donations have again been sent during 2024 to help support the inner-city parish of St Luke, Brinnington.

The PCC supports the concept of the Parish Share through which all parishes contribute to a central diocesan fund based on ability to pay which ensures that hard-up parishes can still be provided with clergy and support. The PCC sees its continuing payment of a higher-than-average Parish Share contribution in 2024 as partial fulfilment of its charitable objects.

Young people – Sunday School activities under the ‘Genesis’ name for children from ages 2–11 years continues to be well supported. The aims remain the - same, providing a regular pattern of Bible based worship and teaching to the

children of our congregation, as well as reaching out to children of families in the wider village community.

The ‘Exodus’ group (set up in 2021) continues to provide regular Church based activities most weeks in school termtime for older children (11-17s) in the parish. The ‘Early Birds’ group (set up in Sep. 2023 for toddlers and their parents/carers in the parish), meets weekly in school term-time staffed by volunteers from St Luke’s. Activities with local Christian Churches and the wider community – The PCC actively co-operates with the local Roman Catholic and Methodist Churches as Churches Together and in Christian Aid to help fulfil the wider Christian mission in the community. The PCC continues to maintain a good relationship with Holmes Chapel Parish Council and actively supports village community activities such as the Christmas Fair, making the church building and hall facilities freely available. Communications – The PCC uses a broad approach to communicate its mission to help develop Christian faith in the local community. It publishes a regular affordable, commercially printed Church Magazine, supported by local advertisers and delivered by volunteers to about 260 subscribers, some of whom are not regular churchgoers. All adults attending Sunday and Wednesday services in church receive a copy of the fortnightly Link news. The Church website ( https://stlkhc.uk ) and Facebook page ( @tlukesholmeschapel ) are regularly updated with contact information, pictures and other topical church related items. St Luke’s Church Hall - The PCC owns, maintains and manages the modern Church Hall as an essential resource for Church activities and as part of its outreach to the local community. Further maintenance and refurbishments have been carried out during the year. Use of the main hall and its meeting room by community and Church groups has continued to increase and has regained pre-Covid level. Knutsford Road churchyard - The PCC maintains the large Knutsford Road churchyard, owned by the Church, as a burial ground for the benefit of residents of Holmes Chapel and Cranage. The adjoining new extension land is now used for all new burials and interment of ashes. The churchyard continues to be kept in good order by contract gardeners with periodic voluntary help from a team of regular churchgoers. Safeguarding - In the summer of 2024, the PCC approved the formation of a Safeguarding Team to provide a more effective way to ensure compliance with all safeguarding requirements. Contact details of Team members and related Help numbers are widely available on church noticeboards, website and PCC publications to ensure everyone knows who to contact to raise any safeguarding concerns.

The Team has not been made aware of any safeguarding issues during the reporting period that required further investigation. On behalf of the PCC, the Team monitors compliance with CofE and Diocesan safeguarding training requirements and DBS checks as needed.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The PCC's policy is to maintain a balance in its general unrestricted fund of approximately three months of unrestricted payments, as contingency against unforeseen situations.

Available reserves at year end were above the three-month level but it is PCC policy to manage available reserves above that level with increased giving to other charities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounting Policy

The church has taken advantage of section 133 of the Charities Act 2011 and has elected to prepare the accounts under the receipts and payments basis.

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any special restrictions regarding their use and are available for the general purposes of the PCC. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC.

The accounts include monetary transactions, assets, and liabilities for which the PCC can be held responsible. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe an a�iliation to another body such as Mothers’ Union, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Subject to the above, receipts and payments include income as received and expenditure when irrevocably paid.

The Honorary Treasurer wishes to thank all PCC account holders for their e�orts in providing their accounts in good time and is most grateful to Jeremy Bostock of Thompson Wright Ltd for his help in examining these accounts.

Funds

General Fund – Unrestricted

The general fund is used to pay all the everyday expenses. This fund is 'unrestricted' because the money has been given to the church on the general understanding that it will be used at the discretion of the PCC for furthering the mission and ministry of the church. Unless specified otherwise, all the money received by the church is put into the general fund. Income generated from assets held in an unrestricted fund will be unrestricted income.

Church Fabric – Designated

Monies set aside by the PCC to cover the expense of repairing and maintaining the fabric of our 600-year-old Category I listed building.

Church Hall – Designated

The money in this fund is designated for the day to day running of the Church Hall. It covers the cost of cleaning, utilities etc. and receipts from the hire of the hall.

Social Committee – Designated

A designated fund managed by the Social Committee

Bellringers

A designated fund managed by the Bellringers.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHURCH HULME – CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER 1132587 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2024

Organ and Lighting Fund – Restricted

This fund was established to hold money to purchase and install our new church organ and to upgrade the internal lighting in the church. Money held in this fund is restricted to that use.

Both projects have now been completed and the negative balance of £367 was resolved by moving money from the General Fund.

Mission Projects – Restricted

In 2022, we received a grant of £16,459 from Chester Diocese on the sale of the old Vicarage. The use of this money is restricted and is to be used on projects which benefit the wider community in the Parish. The PCC decided that this money should be used to upgrade the sound and visual system in the church and to add cameras to enable events like weddings and funerals to be filmed and streamed live to friends and family unable to attend the service. The upgrade of the sound system was completed in November 2023 and the cameras were installed early in 2024. The fund deficit of £1,376 was resolved by moving money from the General Fund and this fund is now closed.

OVERVIEW

Total income in 2024 of £183,404 exceeded expenses of £173,830 by £9,574 increasing the net value of total assets to £163,100 including gains on investment assets.

INCOME

Total receipts from Donations and Legacies were £146,106 boosted by one legacy of £24,000. Increases in receipts from Weddings and Funerals and from Church Hall lettings were recorded. We also benefited by £1,802 from the sale of redundant o�ice equipment presented to us thanks to Simon Kirkham.

EXPENDITURE

Our Parish Share payment of £89,696 continues to be our largest outgoing representing 51% of total spend. Other significant increases were in maintenance costs for both the Church (£6,582) and Hall (£12,119) and in energy bills for both buildings. Increased maintenance cost was due to catching up on electrical and gas safety testing which had been overlooked for a number of years.

RESERVES POLICY

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance in our general unrestricted fund of approximately three months’ worth of unrestricted payments, which would equate to £34,000, as contingency against unforeseen situations.

Our available reserves at the end of 2024 were £46,442, representing 4.1 months. It is the PCC policy to increase our giving to other charities to manage our available reserves.

TRUSTEES OF CRANAGE CE PRIMARY SCHOOL RE FUNDS For the period from 01 January to 31 December 2024

Investments held in the Cranage CE Religious Education fund are not included in the PCC Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This is a "Vicar and Churchwardens Trust for Educational Purposes" and is not within the control of the PCC and so its assets and income are independent of the PCC. Nevertheless, as the Fund's trustees are ex o�icio members of the PCC and also trustees thereof, and the purpose of the Fund aligns closely with the PCC's educational activities, then including details of the Fund's finances in the notes to the PCC's Financial Statements gives parishioners valuable information as recommended in Chapter 2 of The Church of England PCC Accountability Guide.

In April 2024 we closed accounts held with the CCLA. The majority of funds (£135,000) was invested in a Collective Investment Account with Quilter and a further £14,560 was deposited in an instant access account with Unity Trust Bank.
