Wardens Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity fur the year ended 31 December 2024.
Structure, governance and management
The Minster Church and the Diacese ofSheffield
The Minster Church of St George (created a Minster in 2004 by the Bishop of Sheffield) is a Parish Church within the Anglican Diocese of Sheffield. It has a parochial area covering the majority of the town centre of Doncaster and encompasses a small residential area with an estimated population of some 2,500 souls.
Organisational structure
The Governance of the Minster Church is defined by the Church Representation Rules, as promulgated by the General Synod and contained in the canons of the Church of England. The Incumbent (The Vicar) is appointed by the Bishop and holds his licence from him. The Vicar is ex-officio Chairman of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is elected each year by the members of the Church Electoral Roll al the Annual Parochial Meeting (APCM), which must be held before the 30th April each calendar year.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
‘The Church is funded by donations and/or legacies from parish members, their relatives, the general public and other organisations. The overall strategy of the Charity is to provide support to the Church and its ministry by the following means: -
Church Service to the Local Community - The Minster Church of St. George is the main Anglican Church in Doncaster. It provides a full range of church services, including the provision of traditional choral services. It is also used as an important facility for civic celebrations, awards ceremonies, special services for schools and public organisations, and for many cultural events. It is a landmark building on the Doncaster horizon and a tourist destination.
Fabric Fund - This provides funds for the ongoing maintenance of the fabric of the building. A detailed architectural survey is carried out every five years, and funds are used to carry out the respective repair work identified by the survey.

Wardens Report (continued)
Restoration Projects
In 2001 an architectural survey was undertaken to identify the extent of work required to restore the magnificent Grade 1 Listed Church to its original glory. The full programme of work identified covered six phases with a cost estimate in excess of £8million, and a time scale of over eight years. Major restoration work has been completed on the North Transept, and a conservation work on the reredus behind the High Altar. However, the remaining work identified in the programme of work has extended well beyond the original times scales with substantial work still to be undertaken and estimated costs increase year on year.
The latest phase has seen the installation of toilets and servery facilities in the Minster, completed in 2022 as an interim to the next major phase of the restoration project, yet to be agreed and planned, this having been postponed duc to the pandemic.
Review of Activities - 2024
We have continued our full programme of worship, including choral services and occasional offices, major civic services, and maitain and develop congregational attendance, despite the retirement of the Vicar Canon David Stevens. we are fortunate to have been supported by our Interim Priest: Fr Stephen Edmunds, Associate Archdeacon, our team of retired clergy with Permission to Officiate and by other clergy from across the Diocese including our Bishops. There has been continued demand for Baptisms and Weddings. There has also been a number of Civic and special services as usual.
The PCC and Staff Team have been working with the Diocesan Team to progress the necessary steps in recruiting a new incumbent and also to support a major bid to the National Church for additional funds to enable a team of staff allocated to the Minster and neighbouring Parish of St James Hexthorpe in a Mission Partnership.
Our Musical Director, organ scholar, choral scholar and chvirs continue to support and enhance our worship and we are grateful for their contribution. Some of the new choristers who were recruited last year, and who have shown committment to the Minster, have received Voice for Life Lessons, and for those who wish, free piano lessons.
Our community projects have continucd to flourish, the Community Choir goes from strength to strength, and the Good Companions group has developed its programme to include excursions and meals out.The Friends of the Minster continued their events raising valuable funds to support the Minster events financially when appropriate.
There has been continual development of the Tuesday Lunch Club (TLC) providing a sandwich lunch for homeless and other vulncrable pcople. There is a dedicated team from the congregation who are committed to delivering this service. During the year local business has chosen to sponsor this initiative, donating significant sums to support the project and enabling additional provision from time to time, ic vouchers to spend at local food outlets.

Wardens Report (continued)
The Flower Guild continue to provide wonderful displays throughout the year. The Minster Bellringers have continued to grow thcir team and kecp the Minster bells ringing prior to Sunday services and for civic/special occasions.
Visitors have continucd to increase, and we are thankful to our team of volunteer stewards who continue to enable us to open for visitors on a daily basis. This increase in visitors continues to enable the ongoing success of the Minster shop as an additional means of raising the income required to maintain such a wonderful building.
One of the most pleasing aspects this year has been the increase in the number of schools and scout groups who have brought young people to the Minster in order to support the school curriculum. It is always a pleasure to welcome children of al! ages and abilities, and they never fail to surprise and delight with their comments and questions as we conduct the tours of the Minster.
We have continued to develop the Minster us a local arts and cultural centre, and welcome our regular bookings for charity concerts and special services throughout the year. The increased interest in holding events at the Minster since the installation of the toilcts and servery has continued. The London Film Orchestra and G4 both retumed again this year and again both were ‘sell outs' and have booked again.
The Churchwardens and the Parochial Church Council wish to record their thanks to Fr Stephen, and all the clergy who have supported us during the interregnum. This has enabled us to continue to provide worship, pastoral care, a place of prayer, refuge and meditation, and a welcoming community venue at the heart of our new City.
Finances
The accounts record revenues, operating costs and investments for 2024. The Minster continues to operate with an underlying unrestricted fund deficit and increased costs across the board continue to challenge the PCC, particularly in being able to fund its financial responsibility to the Diocese and its ability to care and maintain the Minster and associated buildings.
During the year accumulated funds have increased to £1,161,532 (2023: £1,087,670). This remains above the required minimum level and target for overall reserves of £250,000. Throughout the year there have been regular updates on the financial position reported to the Parish Church Council.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Financial instruments
Objectives andpolicies
The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity's policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash flow risk
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates.
Page 4
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Minster of St George, Doncaster
Wardens Report (continued)
Credit risk
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity manages its own liquid resources.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 201 1.
Basis of preparation
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Minster of St George, Doncaster meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Going concern
The wardens consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern,
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement ta 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.
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 statf 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.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Page 10
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Minster of St George, Doncaster
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees mectings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charily is considered to pass the tests set oul in Paragraph | Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains reccived within catcgorics covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related 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, and 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-lerm highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carricd at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the warden's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Minster of St George, Doncaster
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial asscts and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of[its][Habilities.]
Recognition and meusurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or toss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unlcss the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to sct off the recogniscd amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Debt instruments
Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method:
(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate; or (iti) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate. (b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.
(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change ofa contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law, or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).
(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
{e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.
(f} Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c).
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one ycar on initial recognition and which mect the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
With the exception of some hedging instruments, other dcbt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) Jess impairment.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issuc of sharcs qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal! value of the shares issucd plus fair value of other considcration. Any premium is ignored.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)
Fair value measurement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in cconomic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
