## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **PCC Officers** 

**Chairman:** Elaine Sutherland **Lay Vice-Chairman:** Nicholas Watts **Treasurer:** Alex Herrick **Secretary** : Olapeju Ogunmokun 

All current church officials are trustees. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. Following changes to the law, the PCC was required to register with the Charity Commission during 2009 and became registered on 9 November 2009 (Registered Charity number 1132601). Members of the PCC are either elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) or are ex-officio in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. 

The PCC is responsible for 

- **Finance & Budgeting** – Managing church finances, approving budgets, major spending, and ensuring compliance with charity law. 

- **Church Buildings & Maintenance** – Overseeing large repairs, renovations, and use of church property. 

- **Mission & Outreach** – Approving the church’s spiritual mission, community engagement and major changes in worship. 

- **Safeguarding & Compliance** – Ensuring policies follow legal and diocesan requirements for child protection and vulnerable adults. 

- **Parish Policies & Governance** – Approving policies that guide the operation of the parish. 

- **Key Governance** - Significant changes in church leadership or structure. 

The Charities Act 2011 and the Church of England governance rules require the PCC to be involved in key decisions. 

PCC members are asked to declare any interests at the beginning of each meeting. The PCC have formalised procedures in the event of a conflict of interest arising in discussions at PCC meetings, for example in respect of salary or expenses discussions. Where any PCC member feels a conflict of interest has arisen, the conflict will be fully and openly declared. Staff members may be asked to leave the room when certain items giving cause to a conflict of interest are discussed and a full explanation will be given as to why the request is being made, and the same may apply to PCC members where there is a conflict of interest. 

The only committee of the Council is the Standing Committee, which meets only to deal with urgent business as and when required. The Standing Committee is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC. The current members of the Standing Committee are the Incumbent, Churchwardens, the Treasurer, and the PCC Secretary. 

HTL has a Senior Leadership Team (SLT) which supports and advise the PCC but cannot take over its legal responsibilities. The PCC must formally delegate any authority to the SLT and retain oversight to ensure compliance with church law, charity law, and governance best practices.

## **Review of the Year (continued)** 

mid-week small group mee�ng at the church. Forest Church and Accessible Church established themselves and grew numerically and the Indian Outreach team began to form as a group in prayer and localised mission outreach. In May, KCH started a Community Fridge and opened a Food Waste Café on Fridays and Saturdays. We have con�nued to support our Mission Links and at the end of the year awarded several one-off gi�s to various Chris�an chari�es. Sadly, in the autumn term the decision was made to work towards closing TMAL for personnel reasons. 

Highlights this year have included the following: Easter outreach on Good Friday with Messy Church and Walk of witness with other city churches; termly half nights of prayer; and the launch of a weekly call for the whole church to fast on Thursdays. In June we joined with other churches in Mission24’s city-wide Mission Week. In September we held our first internal Mission Week, encouraging members to get alongside friends and raising money for Alzheimer’s Society. In November we had a wonderful evening with our first Gospel Praise evening. The season of Advent /Christmas saw its third year being fully missional with a variety of events and services across the month. New this year was an open evening for the Christmas art gallery ‘Through Their Eyes’, which proved to be a great success. 

HTL is a designated Resource Church in the Diocese of Leicester along with 6 other churches. As part of this project, we have already enabled the revitalisa�on of Holy Apostles who are now independent of HTL. Imprint Leicester planted again to Imprint London and is now an independent charity. We con�nued to hold close links with Imprint Leicester whilst they await their comple�on of a BMO. The Belgrave St Peter’s church plant led by Anne Sco�, Lay-Licensed Pioneer, has 8 families regularly engaged with their Sunday a�ernoon gatherings using the vehicles of Mossy Church, Cafe Church and Messy Church for their format. Belgrave St Peter’s Church has other missional and social ac�vi�es including an a�er-school club (X-Club), school assembles, a food bank, community larder, community choir, monthly service at a local care home, the ‘Start Course’ and wider community fun day events. The HTL children’s and Youth Team con�nue to support the plant with Messy Church and X-Club at the school. 

## **Staffing** 

At the beginning of February Joshua Young joined the staff team as our Youth Worker in the Children and Youth Department. In March Rev’d Hannah Hall received a PTO license from Bishop Martyn and join the staff team. In June, Meaghan Blane returned from maternity leave to KCH part time in her role as Deputy manager. Cameron Forbes began a new SDF funded role in KCH leading the Community Fridge and Food Waste Café with designated hours to begin a fresh expression of church. Also in June, Cameron WiltshirePlant completed his ordination training, and following his ordination commenced his curacy at St Andrews Countesthorpe in mid-July. Our New Wine Discipleship Year students completed their year with us with 3 new students commencing in September, plus 2 Future Youth students. In September Marina Cordeiro joined the staff team as the Worship Pastor. In mid-November Lois Young began her maternity leave. 

Across the year we have seen the normal comings and goings of people within our church family and have been delighted to welcome many new people, 162, though not all have remained with us. We continue to reflect our city as a church from many nations.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024** 

## **Achievements and Performance Church attendance:** 

There were 250 persons on the Electoral Roll. The analysis of the general attendance and participation in the life of the church was: In person 106 services, 12 Reflective 9am Services, 12 HTL Forest Church gatherings, 12 Accessible Church gatherings, plus numerous Missional Community gatherings and 102 services livestreamed.  There were 2 funeral services, 2 weddings, 7 adult baptisms, 6 young people baptised and 4 infant baptisms. 8 people attended alpha across 3 courses. The average number of adult attendees per Sunday was 267 excluding those joining via Live stream. The average number of 0-18s attending on a Sunday was 51. The total number of people participating in the life and worship of Holy Trinity on a regular basis is 535 (2023:561). The number of 0–18-year-olds connected to HTL is 172. 

## **PCC Governance** 

The PCC met 11 times, and the standing committee met twice. One motion was passed in regards to the ‘Prayers of Love and Faith’ on 19[th] December 2024: 

“Historically HTL is an evangelical church and orthodox on sexual ethics. The current crisis in the Church of England through the LLF process is a de facto change of doctrine with many implications for the future of the C of E and HTL’s place within it. To enable members to give according to their conscience and remain part of the Church of England and specifically HTL, it is proposed HTL continues to use the Ephesian Fund to pay its Parish Contribution on an ongoing basis. Those who do not wish their Parish Share to be paid via the Ephesian Fund can personally request the Finance Officer pays their share directly to the Diocese.” 

## **Financial Review** 

The financial year to 31 December 2024 has seen HTL produce an overall deficit of £27,209 made up of a surplus in unrestricted funds of £10,571 and a loss on restricted funds of £37,780. 

During the year total income received increased to £740,667 (2023: £734,083). This is primarily due to an increase in Coffee shop income of £93,511 in 2024 (2023: £71,710) and a reduction in income from church activities of £7,061 offset by increases in planned giving and bank interest of £20,269, and £6,769 respectively.  Voluntary income is the primary source of income for HTL amounting to £519,337 in 2024 (2023: £527,992), with regular planned giving being the most popular and effective way to financially support the church, commonly through donations via standing orders. 

There is a £20,269 increase in congregational giving (defined as Unrestricted and Restricted receipts within Regular Donations, Collections and One-off gifts) in 2024 totalling £412,509 (2023: £392,240). This includes an increase of £13,149 in donations to the general fund and an increase of £7,120 to restricted funds, primarily due to a donation income to support Asher & Elena secondment to South Africa. The PCC ask all members to prayerfully review their giving as we move beyond 2024 in our vision to be community of missional disciples of many nations who will transform the city of Leicester, and beyond, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through following Jesus, making disciples, and raising disciples together. 

The church received Income from Church Activities of £105,521, being a decrease of £7,061 from the £112,582 received in 2023, £61,754 of this money is income received from Strategic Development Fund (“SDF”) monies from Leicester Diocese to enable mission towards our church plant St Peters, Belgrave and Kings coffee house mission enabler. This income includes funding for these staff posts at HTL in the year and resources required for the projects. 

Total expenditure in the year was £767,876 (2023: £689,373), an annual increase of £78,503. The increase costs within unrestricted funds were £23,133. Coffee shop expenditure increased by £15,254. Mission & Ministry cost increased by £29,391 being an increase in mission giving, parish share, ministerial wages, training costs and a decrease in resource church expenditure. Property, Management and Admin costs decreased by £17,780 due to an Increase to utility and administrative wages offset by a decrease in church

## **Financial Review (continued)** 

repair costs of £40,785. The increase costs within restricted costs were £55,369 and this was mainly due to £45,000 for the memorial church garden renovation, spent from the grant of £50,000 received in 2023., an increase in expenditure in the year of £7,800 on compassion ministries and £6,455 to support Asher & Elena secondment to South Africa from the donations received. 

Staff costs had a net increase of £31,860 from 2023, with increases in ministerial, administrative, and coffee shop salaries and pensions. In 2024, weekly working hours were increased in all departments, administration by 8 hours, KCH by 4 hours and ministerial by 4 hours. A new administration role for the Community fridge project was started in 2024, for 3 hours per week, the cost for this wage was taken out of the corresponding restricted fund. 

At the 31 December 2024, HTL held fund balances of £552,311 (2023: £579,520) with £492,565 (2023: £481,994) in unrestricted and designated funds, and £59,746 (2023: £97,526) in restricted funds. The primary movement in restricted funds is due to the expense of £45,000 for the memorial garden fund. 

At 31 December 2024 the church held a cash balance of £283,964 (2023: £278,509). Whilst a seemingly significant amount of cash, the church’s reserves policy stipulates the PCC hold 3 months gross salaries and essential operating costs in cash for unforeseen and exceptional circumstances. In 2024 this amounted to £114,617 (2023: £108,350). The remaining £169,347 includes £59,746 for restricted funds, leaving £109,601 cash available for on-going operating costs and unrestricted investments. 

HTL fully own Trinity Hall which is financed by a mortgage which held a balance of £172,629 on 31 December 2024 (2023: £177,564) with 19 years remaining until full repaid. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is not the intention of the PCC to hold large amounts of reserves for investment purposes, as it believes church resources should be used for the work of God's kingdom, as it is provided to us. It is however recognised as prudent to keep some general reserves, held as cash in the bank, to cover primary operational costs in the event of an unforeseen reduction in income or increase in expenditure. For the year ended 31 December 2024 it was the PCC's policy to maintain a minimum of unrestricted funds of £114,617 (2023: £108,350), which is reviewed and calculated annually alongside the financial year and budget setting process. The minimum reserves held are to cover operational costs equivalent to 3 months of gross salaries and essential running costs. The reserves policy indicates procedures which would be put into practice should the unrestricted fund reach its minimum. 

## **Risk Management** 

The PCC recognises its responsibility for identifying and managing risks with the organisation. Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the church faces. The Safeguarding Policy was reviewed and updated as required in June 2024 and is reported on each year within the PCC. The PCC of Holy Trinity Church are committed to the safeguarding of the young people and vulnerable adults. Safeguarding is an agenda item in every PCC meeting to ensure the PCC’s responsibility to this issue remains a consistent and high priority. 

The Health and Safety Policy was reviewed and updated as necessary in November 2024 and is reported on each year within the PCC. Health and Safety is also put on the agenda as a regular item to reaffirm the PCC’s responsibility to appropriately managing these risks. Appropriate buildings and public and employee liability insurances are in place and are regularly reviewed. The PCC has responded to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced in May 2018, and continues to monitor the use of data carefully,

particularly concerning donor data. Our Data Protection Policy covers how we use donor data and gives donors the option to opt out of any contact or make a formal complaint. We carefully monitor the relationships we have with donors and seek to maintain a consistent standard of stewardship based on the guidance of the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Promise. 

## **Related Parties** 

Details of related party transactions are disclosed in Note 11 of the financial statements. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

A budgeted deficit of £17,377 for general unrestricted income and expenditure has been set for the financial year to 31 December 2025 (deficit of £13,294 for the financial year to 31 December 2024). This reflects the known difficulties faced in operating in the current economic environment. Starting in the financial year to 31 December 2024, the PCC have agreed to increase its donations from 10% to 11% of annual income derived from congregational giving, including gift aid, to external home and overseas missions and individuals engaged in missionary work. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The charity has achieved its objectives of the promotion of the advancing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Activities and community programmes for all ages were held and are available freely. This has been to the benefit of church attendees and the wider community. 

## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be 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 charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 10 to 24. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 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 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

Holy Trinity Church Leicester is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the charity is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006. 

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, updated by Bulletin 3 (2020), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements have been prepared as a going concern under the historical cost convention except for the valuation on investment assets where appropriate, which are shown at market value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. 

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

The accounts 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. 

## **Funds** 

## _i. General_ 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restriction regarding their particular use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. 

## _ii. Designated_ 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside for purposes by the trustees. The aim and use for each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## _iii. Restricted_ 

Funds received that are subject to a restriction are held in a separate fund and used only for that purpose. 

Where monies given for a restricted capital purpose are expended, the asset is no longer viewed as restricted, and an appropriate transfer is made to the General Fund. This includes the payment of any related mortgage liability. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

## _i. Voluntary income and capital sources_ 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## **Incoming Resources (continued)** 

## _ii. Other ordinary income_ 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## _iii. Income from investments_ 

Interest is accounted for when it is received. 

## **Gains and losses on investments** 

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December in each year. 

## **Resources used** 

## _i. Grants_ 

Government grants receivable in relation to job retention scheme and retail scheme are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. 

## _ii. Activities directly relating to the work of the church_ 

The parish share is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is not provided for in these accounts, as it is a voluntary contribution and not legally enforceable. 

## _iii. Allocation of costs_ 

Costs have been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, the PCC is exempted from tax under s.478 CTA 2010. 

## **Fixed assets** 

## _i. Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings_ 

The value of these assets is excluded from the accounts by virtue of s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Any expenditure, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off to revenue in the year it arises. 

## _ii. Purchased land and buildings_ 

Land and buildings are stated at cost. Buildings are depreciated over 100 years on a straight line basis. 

## _iii. Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment_ 

Expenditure below £600 per item is written off in the year of acquisition. Computer equipment and other equipment is depreciated over 5 years on a straight-line basis.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## **Fixed assets (continued)** 

## **Current assets and liabilities** 

All amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December are shown as debtors, less a provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short term deposits comprise funds held on deposit with the CCLA Church of England Funds. Provisions for liabilities are shown where an essential future cost is estimated at the year end. 

## **Donated goods, facilities, and services, including volunteers** 

Income raised from donated gifts for resale is recognised at the point of sale where the value of the donation is considered not material in the context of total annual income and/or where the estimated resale value cannot be determined. 

The organisation relies on the contribution of many unpaid general volunteers to carry out activities. In the absence of a reliable basis for measurement, this contribution is not accounted for in monetary terms. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months or less from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Pension costs** 

The PCC, as the Employer, has an auto enrolment pension scheme with the Peoples Pension. All qualifying employees are automatically enrolled on the scheme and non-qualifying employees offered to enrol at the start of their employment. Contributions are made by both employer and employee into the scheme according to their staff contract. 

## **Risk management** 

The PCC recognises its responsibility for identifying and managing risks within the organisation. Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the church faces. 

## **Going Concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Deferred income of £32,205 for the year (2023: £28,031). Of which £15,261 relates to monies received in advance for the discipleship year students costs in line with their placement periods. In 2021, HTL received income for the discipleship year students by drawing down the SDF funding from the Diocese, it was explained by the Diocese that there was going to be no further funding for this area of ministry in future years for discipleship students, due to this £12,000 was transferred to deferred income to help fund discipleship students in subsequent years. The SDF funding stopped, but the Diocese Ministry Experience Fund (MES) was set up and has provided funding towards the discipleship year students since 2021. It is planned to be used in 2025, to help fund a second year discipleship training student. £310 is room rental which was received in advance but relates to 2025 and £1,300 of money is being held for events which were not undertaken.
