The Trustees present the annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) as detailed in the accounting policies.
Objectives and activities
Beverley Minster is a cathedral-scale medieval Greater Church and the largest parish church building in the Church of England. It is part of the Diocese of York and a member of the Association of Major Churches. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Canon Jonathan Baker, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. This includes the mission of the Minster’s daughter churches of St. Leonard’s, Molescroft, St. Paul’s, Tickton (as part of the Church in Tickton, an Anglican Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership), and St. Peter’s, Woodmansey. Each of these has a Management Committee which is elected annually by its congregation and reports to the PCC. Further, the PCC is responsible for the upkeep and use of the Parish Hall, Emmaus Room, Peter Harrison Room and the Parish Centre in Highgate.
Public Benefit
The Trustees can confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The PCC believes that by working with the Vicar and cooperating in all matters of concern and importance for the promotion of the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, the Minster, with its daughter churches, provide a benefit to the public by:
-
Providing resources and facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers
-
Promoting Christian values and service by members of the churches in the Parish to their communities, to the benefit of individuals, families and society as a whole
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC and clergy team maintain an overview of worship throughout the parish and suggest how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
We warmly invite new volunteers to join those who already share in the Minster’s work. Our report on Vision and Strategy, below, has more information about the opportunities that have been created
Statutory and Legal Requirements
The PCC strives to comply with Church of England guidelines, including those on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, Charity Commission regulations, accountancy practice and procedures, Health and Safety requirements and all other legislation relating to the conduct of its affairs.
Achievements and Performance

There were 284 members on the electoral roll presented at the 2022 APCM (285 in 2021).

Conducting weddings, funerals & baptisms is an important element in the life of the church and makes a valuable contribution to the wider community.
In 2022, we conducted 17 weddings, 33 funerals and 33 baptisms.
Vision and Strategy
The Minster’s Vision is derived from that of the Diocese of York’s ‘Living Christ’s Story’, which seeks to become more like Christ , to reach people we currently don’t , and to grow as a church of missionary disciples . It is part of the Deanery of Beverley which launched its own Deanery Plan in 2022.
In the autumn of 2021, the Minster PCC launched a Vision Strategy detailing 14 ambitious workstreams seeking to improve the work of the Minster across a very broad spectrum of activity. In 2022 these workstreams led to initiatives in the following areas:
-
A new Prayer Team offering daily prayers and chaplaincy in the Minster, regular prayer meetings and training, and prayer for those in need.
-
A programme of Quiet Days through the year with visiting speakers.
-
A Pastoral Team offering contact with those in need, Home Communions, services in Care Homes, emergency support, bereavement support and a friendship group for those alone.
-
A new congregation called @9.15 which meets every Sunday and has an informal, contemporary style aimed at adults and those without a traditional church background.
-
A new congregation called The Crossing which meets every Sunday afternoon and is aimed at families with pre-school children, many of whom are on the edge of church life.
-
A monthly Taizé Service attracting folk from across the area.
-
Weekly Collective Worship led by the Minster team across four local Primary Schools.
-
A monthly informal worship service called Encounter piloted on behalf of the Deanery.
-
A strong online presence in which most Minster services are livestreamed.
-
A partnership with Christian homelessness charity ‘Hope Into Action’ which has seen the purchase of a first house for supported tenants.
-
A programme of school visits and workshops in the Minster run by grant-funded Learning and Engagement Officers and our own team of retired teachers.
-
A mother and first baby group set up during the pandemic.

Financial Review
The full year surplus of £146k compares with a deficit of (£37k) for 2021 – a swing of £183k. So good progress.
Income was up 28% to £622k from 2021, largely due to 2 generous bequests totalling £88k split equally between the Minster and St Peter’s. Planned Giving increased by some 3% and Donations from Visitors improved year on year. Growth and development with Concerts and Events were notable with improvement on an ongoing basis.
Expenditure was cut by 9% to £476k in 2022. The main explanation for this was the reduction in the Free Will Offer to the Diocese from £130k in 2021 to £65k in 2022. The Free Will Offer will be increased to £79k for 2023. We were fortunate in fixing our gas costs from January 2021 to December 2026 and, with the assistance of the Diocese, have largely avoided the spike in energy costs linked to global events. We have not cut any human resources.
Adjusting the 2022 financial result by taking out the benefits of four one-off gains (halving the prior year Free Will Offer to the Diocese; two unrestricted bequests to the Minster and to St Peter’s; a restricted donation of £16k) the 2022 underlying financial result would have been a financial loss of (£23k). Careful stewardship of our finances will therefore continue to be very important, and we will need to face up to addressing more challenging initiatives to increase Income.

Trustees Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
The PCC faces a threat in connection with 3 of the 4 outer buildings it owns: the Parish Hall, the Parish Centre and the Peter Harrison room. Current cost estimates total some £294k to restore these to ‘wind and watertight’ with little or no enhancement. The Cash Reserves of the PCC are insufficient to fund this work and an evaluation is underway to sell a fixed asset.
The ‘Interpretation’ element of the Sanctuary Project, linked to the roof repairs of the Lessor South Transept roof, concluded in November 22. The Nave roof repairs completed in the prior year and there were no further capital works undertaken in 2022.
We have made a number of adjustments to the Funds in the Balance Sheet and we believe they now more accurately reflect the true position of our Restricted and Unrestricted Funds. These are explained in Note 21.
Our Financial Accountant was changed from Westland Accountants to Dymond Chartered Accountants in April 2022. Philippa Milner was appointed Financial Assistant in October 2022.
Reserves Policy
Due to the nature of the charity, its reliance on donations as income and the inerrant unpredictability of legacy income, the trustees consider that six months forward expenditure is the minimum level of reserves required to cover current running costs and are comfortable with a level in excess of this. Current monthly running costs are approximately £38,000. The level of free reserves at 31[st] December 2022 is £319,620, which equates to around eight months forward expenditure which is above the free reserves target. This policy is reviewed every quarter at the finance committee meeting.
Investment Policy
Funds are placed in low and medium risk ethical investments with the objective of receiving income. The investment policy is to achieve a rate of return, based on the current value of investments, of at least 1% more than the prevailing rate on the Church of England Deposit Account.
Principal risks facing the charity
Financial risk
The day-to-day management of financial risk is delegated by the PCC to the PCC Finance Committee, and it is this Committee that is responsible for reviewing the PCC's annual budget. The Treasurer circulates quarterly management accounts to the Committee, showing the financial position compared to the previous year and budget, and a forecast outturn for the year.
Reputational risk
This can be minimised by encouraging best practice in all aspects of the Parish's management, thereby reducing the risk of inappropriate actions which could have a damaging effect on the Parish. This extends both to staff and volunteers, all of whom need to be familiar with their duties and adhere to laid down procedures.
Operational risk
The PCC believes that the Operational Risk to the Parish is relatively low. There is ongoing concern over the fabric of the Minster, the day-to day repairs of which is delegated annually to a separate charity, Beverley Minster Old Fund. Of most immediate concern is the condition of the roofs and the east and west stained-glass windows. The estimated total cost of these repairs is approximately £8m. To help raise these funds a separate charity was formed in 2019, Two Churches One Town, which, together with St Mary’s in Beverley, have benefited by some £5m towards restoration costs of both churches in a ten-year plan.
The PCC faces an operational risk in connection with the restoration of 3 of the 4 outer buildings it owns: the Parish Hall, the Parish Centre and the Peter Harrison room. Current cost estimates total some £294k to restore these buildings. The Cash Reserves of the PCC are insufficient to fund this work and an evaluation is underway to sell a fixed asset.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show 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 these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of The Ecclesiastic Parish of St. John and St. Martin (Beverley Minster)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 13 to 35.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . 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
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 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 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 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St John and St Martin (Beverley Minster) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments and certain fixed assets at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and not less than one year from the date of approval. The charity has no borrowings however does rely on the general goodwill of the public for much of it’s income, as such the pandemic could give rise to a material fluctuation in results and some uncertainty in regard to going concern, however this is being constantly monitored.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income of legacies that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income
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. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Items of expenditure are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis. The offer to the Diocese is charged as paid, usually monthly, although the commitment is for a full year.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and therefore it’s income and gains are exempt from taxation to the extent that they are applied for charitable purpose.
Tangible fixed assets
Consecrated property and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by S.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off to the income statement in the year of expenditure.
Other freehold land and buildings
The Church Hall, Peter Harrison Room, Parish Centre and the residential property at 23 Outer Trinities were professionally valued in April 2019 by John English BSc M.R.I.C.S, an independent Chartered Surveyor. The land and properties were revalued on the basis of open market value.
The Trustees do not consider that the value of freehold land and buildings is materially different to the professional valuation as at 31 December 2022.
Office and other equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is generally depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 or 5 years. Individual items with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off to the income statements when the asset is acquired.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life.
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Funds are placed in low and medium risk ethical investments with the objective of receiving income. The investment policy is to achieve a rate of return, based on the current value of investments, of at least 1% more than the prevailing rate on the Church of England Deposit Account.
Stock
Stocks relate to the cost of the choir and organ CD’s held by the Director of Music. Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price.
Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Trade debtors
Amounts owing to the PCC at the 31[st] December, in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provisions for amounts that may prove uncollectable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities, if they do not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Fund structure
Unrestricted funds: represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use. Funds designed for a particular purpose by the PCC are also considered to be unrestricted.
Designated funds: represent unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the Trustees. Restricted funds: are funds which can only be used as specified by a donor or when funds are raised for a particular purpose.
Endowment funds : are a form of restricted fund where the donor has specified that only the income from the money or asset donated can be spent. The original asset (the ‘capital’) cannot normally be spent. The donor of the endowment fund specifies the use to which the income can be put, so it can be more restricted than for the general purposes of the PCC.
Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

19. Pension and other schemes
Beverley Minster PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers.
CWPF has two sections:
-
the Defined Benefits Scheme
-
the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections;
-
a. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and,
-
b. a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Scheme
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2022: £3,485, 2021: £3,327).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 10.1% following improvements in the funding position over 2022. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Beverley Minster PCC could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.

A number of prior year adjustments have been made in these Accounts where expenditure has been incurred in prior years and incorrectly charged to the Minster General Fund instead of specific Designated and/or Restricted Funds which directly related to that activity. The effect of this in 2022 has been to reduce the value of and/or close some specific Designated and Restricted Funds with a commensurate increase in the value of the Minster General Fund.

Unrestricted (and Designated) Funds include:
The Minster General Fund, the daughter churches’ general funds and the Minster Development Fund.
The designated Minster Development Fund was established to fund future capital projects, financed by bequests and major donations. This policy was established in 2010.
Restricted funds include:
The restricted Minster Development Fund: This is linked to the 2015 acquisition of new chairs in the Minster. The prior years value of £43,890, which has been static for more than 5 years, was The Friends of Beverley Minster’s contribution to cost of the chairs. The depreciation was always charged to the Minster General Fund. Following financial advice, the remaining asset value has been transferred to the Minster General Fund.
Organ Fund: A fund established to maintain the Minster’s organ, which requires regular tuning and a major refurbishment every 25-30 years.
Sanctuary Fund: A fund established for the Sanctuary project, transforming the space in the North Transept into an exhibition highlighting the Minster as a place of sanctuary and Beverley as a place of refuge. This project included restoration of the Lesser South Transept roof. The funding came from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Beverley Minster Old Fund and the Friends of Beverley Minster. The Sanctuary Project concluded in November 2022 and so it is expected that this fund will close in early 2023. Costs in 2021 had been incorrectly charged to the Minster General Fund instead of the Sanctuary Fund. This has been corrected in the 2022 Accounts.
Tickton Development Fund: This was set up as a restricted fund to allow for improving accessibility into the church and providing kitchen facilities within the church. Depreciation was not charged to this Fund in prior years and has been corrected with the transfer in 2022. This Fund now represents the value of the asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Choral Foundation: A fund set up to allow choristers at the Minster to access instrumental lessons irrespective of their financial circumstances. Following support from the Friends of Beverley Minster, a grant was received from the Deflog Foundation in 2022.
Music and Choir Fund: There is also a designated element to this. Some costs of both Music and Choir funds had been incorrectly charged in 2021 and 2022 to the Minster General Fund instead of the Music and Choir Funds. As a result, the balances of these funds were transferred to the Minster General Fund to repay those prior costs.
Endowment (Capital) Funds include:
Bequests from C.H. Barringer deceased and C.M.L Walker deceased, and the Friends of Cathedral Music (Beverley Minster Music Fund).
The PCC resolved to release and spend the permanent endowment of the Naylor Fabric Fund of Tickton Church under S75A Charities Act 1993 as amended by the Charities Act 2006. This allowed the Church in Tickton to allocate the small capital sum towards fabric repairs.
