## **Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 December 2022** 

The Trustees of Christ Church Brixton Road present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

## **Aim and Purpose** 


The Parochial Church Council of Christ Church Brixton Road has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is also specifically responsible for maintenance of the church buildings of Christ Church, Brixton Road, London SW9. 

## **Objects and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to developing the role of Christ Church in the local community and to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church, become part of our parish community and use the buildings in our care. 

We have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.  In particular we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community. Our vision for how we aim to do this is summed up in our mission statement: 


We see ourselves as ‘a church for everyone’ and aim to ensure that everyone who attends any of our services or activities is welcomed and enables to engage with all that we do if they so wish; Christ Church is affiliated to ‘Inclusive Church’. 

In 2019 the PCC approved a Mission Action Plan (MAP) designed to reflect and embody the Mission (Purpose) Statement agreed in 2018. 

## **Safeguarding and Safety** 

The PCC has a responsibility to ensure the adequate safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults who are present at any of our services and activities, or who visit our church site, and indeed to ensure the general safety of everyone who uses the building or engages with the church’s ministry. PCC is grateful to Ms Julie Green for her work as Parish Safeguarding Officer. There were no safeguarding incidents to report. The PCC also maintains and implements policies relating to GDPR, Health and Safety, Fire Safety, and carries out regular general and activity specific Risk Assessments.  During 2022 the building continued to be COVID safe when open and all government guidelines were followed. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Message from the Priest in charge** 

It has been a few months since Fr Steve and I arrived into the parish. Little by little we are getting an idea of all that is going on in the parish. Although it hasn’t been a long time since we arrived a few changes have been made already: - 

Booklets have been simplified so not much is needed to update them every week; 

Bubble Church, an pioneering initiative for toddlers and their families, is now part of our offer for families at CCBR. Numbers of children and parents are growing and it is resulting in more baptisms; 

Clergy presence every week at Christ Church Primary School, plus regular visits from Reay and Van Gogh primary schools; We have applied together with our resourcing parish, St Matthew’s, to SDF3 from the Church Commissioners for an ambitious project and we got the money; 

Four new tenants are now occupying the community house and the flat is generating money for the church; Discussions with the leadership of the charity shop have been taking place to ensure the future of the shop; The church was full for the carol service with the House Gospel Choir; 

A sold out choir concert took place in March and they hope to return; 

A contactless machine has been installed to increase ways of giving for the church and charity shop. 

These are only some of the new initiatives and actions we have been taking to assure not only the presence of Christ Church in Brixton Road for many years but also the desired growth that all of us want for our beloved parish Church. In the next few months more changes and initiatives will take place such as music ministry, youth ministry, a new Latino congregation, etc…for all of you that want to have a copy of the SDF3 project for Saint Matthew’s and CCBR please ask Fr Steve or myself and we will give you one. 

We are really excited by all the potential CCBR has, and we believe with all our heart that there is a vibrant future for us, that we are in the plan of God for this area and we will continue to work hard to be the open and welcoming parish church that CCBR has always been.

## **Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Message from the Curate** 

Many thanks to everyone for welcoming me to Christ Church in my first year of ordained ministry. 

My role as Pioneer Curate has two key areas: firstly, to learn and continue training for ministry.  Secondly, to build relationships with people in the parish who are not already churchgoers, sharing the Good News so Christ Church can grow. 

As part of this relationship building, my pioneering ministry so far has focused on three key groups in the parish: 

1) Cafe Van Gogh- where I hosted a discussion group; 

2) Schools- I lead weekly collective worship at Christ Church Primary (where I am now a governor) and host visits to the church from both Reay and Van Gogh primaries; 

3) Families- The focus has been building a Christian community for families at Christ Church through Bubble Church, where we continue to see growth in numbers. 

It has also been a privilege to preside at occasional offices, including funerals and baptisms, and to welcome the wider community into Church for our Christmas liturgies. 

I continue to work with the wider church team to think creatively about increasing community connections and sources of income, such as musical concerts. 

Please do pray for me as I prepare for ordination to the priesthood and I look forward to our continued partnership in the gospel. 

## **The Revd. Steve Jullien** 

## **Financial Review** 

The results of the last year and the financial position of Christ Church are shown in the annexed financial statements. 

The Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) including an Income and Expenditure account set out on page 9, shows total income of £64,754 (2021: £72,624) and total expenditure £92,997 (2021: £90,287). This resulted in a deficit of £28,243 (2021: deficit £17,663). Though the year recorded a deficit, however when you take into account the current economic climate and the effects of pandemic, the overall result is better than what we anticipated. 

During the year, as a Church we supported the work of the Organisations that used our building by charging them a reduced rent as a result of pandemic. In the coming year the Parish aims to generate more letting income by increasing the lettable areas  in the Church.  It should be noted that during the year under review, the utilities costs were significantly increased from £7,760 in 2021 to £15,970 in 2022! Other costs were also increased due to high cost of living! 

I would like to thank all those who gave money to the Parish during the year through donations, standing orders, envelope giving, and loose giving ……….your generosity is much appreciated. Likewise my thanks go to those who provided their services in kind e.g. members of congregation that counted/banked our Sunday collections. 

God Bless All

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity.** 

Fixed assets are set out in Notes 9 and 10 to the accounts. 

## **Consolidated Accounts** 

Consolidated financial statements (group accounts) are not required in respect of the PCC and its wholly owned subsidiary. 

## **Independent Examiner's Report** 

The Independent Examiner, Anthony Armstrong FCA of Armstrong & Co, has indicated his willingness to be proposed for reappointment. 

## **Public Benefit** 

Christ Church Brixton Road benefits the public by way of: regular worship that is open to all, the provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation, pastoral work (including the visiting of the sick and the bereaved), teaching Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups, taking school assemblies, promoting the whole mission of the church through its assistance to older people, parents and children, and supporting charities in the UK and overseas. 

## **Volunteers** 

The worship and ministry of Christ Church is dependent on the volunteers who work and give their time freely, to keep the church functioning. Our particular thanks are due to Liz Waldy who served as our Churchwarden, and to those who served on the PCC. We are also grateful to all those who shared in facilitating our corporate worship.  As previously mentioned, it is also the work of volunteers that allows both the Charity Shop and the weekly ‘Food Cupboard’ to operate, and the PCC is very grateful for all this

support. Carmen Brooks-Johnson continued in her role as Southwark Pastoral Assistant supporting church members who cannot attending and providing home visits, and communion. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure, The PCC is a Registered Charity, and the PCC members are Charity Trustees. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At Christ Church the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC if they wish. The Electoral Roll at the end of the year stood at 61. 

The PCC are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The PCC largely met via Zoom during 2021. This was unfortunate and meant that some PCC members did not attend meetings. 

The PCC met 5 times during the year, all face to face meetings. The PCC did not operate any committees or working parties this year with the exception of the Standing Committee, and this committee did not meet. (The Standing Committee is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to the approval of the Council.) 

The PCC has connections with one charity: The Christ Church Brixton Road Church Halls Trust, constituted by trust deed, charity number 802522, registered at 90 Brixton Road, London SW9 6BE.

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

Charity law in England and Wales requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 these financial statements, the PCC are required to: 

- a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- d) Follow applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; 

- e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The PCC is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document. The PCC is 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.

## AT **Christ Church Brixton Road** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Parochial Church Council of Christ Church Brixton Road** 

I report on the accounts of Christ Church Brixton Road for the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022  set out on pages 8 to 17. My report is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations') and the Charities Act 2011 ( 'the 2011 Act' ). 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the 2011 Act and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My examination 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's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of members of the trustees and the examiner** 

As described on page 6, the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is preparing accrued accounts. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direction given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- a. the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or b. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- c. the accounts did 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 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.

**(A Parochial Church Council registered as a charity, number: 1132845)** 

## **Christ Church Brixton Road** 

## **Accounting Policies for the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: 

- a) Applicable UK accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Smaller Entities 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)'. 

- b) 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 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102); 

- c) the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Group accounts** 

In accordance with section 139(2) of the Charities Act 2011, the charity is not required to prepare consolidated financial statements. 

## **Public benefit entity** 

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue operating and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Income recognition** 

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period in which the tax reclaim is submitted to HMRC. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

The income from trading activities includes rental income from the letting of church premises, which is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in raising funds costs. 

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. 

## **Expenditure recognition** 

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The PCC is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate. 

Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes amounts incurred in obtaining grants and other donations and property maintenance costs. 

Charitable expenditure includes those costs in fulfilling the PCC’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the PCC. These include grants payable, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs. 

- Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the PCC’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the PCC. 

- Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees. 

- Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease.

## **Restricted funds (continued)** 

Projects financed by restricted funds are supported by unrestricted funding where necessary.  This occurs where the funding is in arrears or the incidence of expenditure on the project occurs disproportionately at the beginning of the project compared to the income flows.  Where restricted projects end the year with a deficit, this is met by after year-end restricted income or transfers from unrestricted funds. 

|**Building Appeal**|Used for funds specifically raised to pay for the repairs and improvements needed to the<br>fabric of the Church buildings.|
|---|---|
|**Food Cupboard**|<br>Used toprovide food assistance to the needy.|
|**Youth & Educational Fund**|Used for Youth & SundaySchool Provision.|
|**Organ Fund**|This represents the restricted element of the cost of the new organ purchased in 2008.  The<br>cost was capitalised and is being depreciated over 10 years from 2008.  The amount of<br>restricted resources expended represents the depreciation charge.|
|**Church Commissioners Mission**<br>**Fund**|Used for activities in connection with churches mission to the Parish of Christ Church,<br>Brixton Road.|
|**Community of Christ the Servant**<br>**Fund**|<br>Donations made by residential members of the community to offset the costs of running the<br>community,maintainingthe communityhouse and the wider work of the church.|
