The day-to-day management of the affairs of the PCC is delegated to the Churchwardens, who can be contacted through the parish office. 3 ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. Following a change to the legislation regarding charities, the PCC was registered as a separate charity in November 2009: The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Martin of Tours, Ruislip, registered number 1132848. The method of appointment of PCC members is governed by, and set out in, the Church Representation Rules. Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The PCC also co-opts members as considered appropriate. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. As far as possible, the PCC appoints suitable members of the congregation, who report back to the PCC, to ensure compliance with legislative matters regarding health and safety, disability discrimination and Safeguarding, which protects vulnerable adults as well as children, and arranges for them to attend appropriate training courses as required. The PCC operates through several committees which meet as required between full meetings of the PCC. The committees consist of PCC members with the power to co-opt parishioners for specific projects and for longer periods as required. The current committees are: ## _Standing Committee_ This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any specific directions issued by the PCC. ## _Fabric Committee_ ## Responsible for the maintenance of the fabric and building of the church and the curate’s house. ## _Hall Management Committee_ Responsible for the management, maintenance, and operation of the church hall. ## _Discipleship in Action Committee_ ## Responsible for overseeing developments in the church’s mission and outreach work. ## _Social Committee_ Responsible for organising and co-ordinating social events. ## _Finance Committee_ Responsible for co-ordinating finance matters. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** The major risks to which the church might be susceptible are the subject of ongoing review. Our fixed assets are all covered by adequate insurance and other risks are assessed and mitigated as far as is practicable. ## **OBJECTIVES** The primary objective of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has the responsibility for maintaining the ancient church building, for maintaining and operating the hall adjacent to the church and for the upkeep of the clergy house. 4 ## **ACTIVITIES** Fr Robert joined to serve as our priest and Vicar in January 2023, following almost nine months of being in interregnum since Fr Yaro Walker left at the start of May 2022. We have been delighted to welcome Fr Robert and his family, Sarah, Isobel and Alexander into our Church and community. Fr Robert settled in quickly and has focused on bringing our congregation back together through love, friendship, and faith. Our aim is to ensure the worshipping pattern of life continues at St Martin’s. Daily Mass is at the heart of what we do as a church. Holy Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our life as Christians; for all, and not just the private devotions of a few. St Martin’s is an essential part of the Ruislip community and many people in our parish feel a deep connection to St Martin’s and the building which is so much a part of seminal moments in people’s lives. This year we reintroduced a Church Welcome rota to be on hand to answer questions from the many who visit the church for all sorts of reasons and leave touched in some way by God’s love. During 2023 we also began to engage with Growing Younger as we began to look at our work with postConfirmation young people. This resulted in termly Youth Masses with neighbouring churches and our aim is to develop this further in 2024. Our work with young people also continues with our connections to our schools in the parish and Bishop Ramsey. Fr Robert goes to BWI every Wednesday to lead their Collective Worship and we are blessed in being able to welcome schools to our church and for Fr Robert to lead assemblies in nonchurch schools. ## **Church Hall Development** We were successful in a grant bid from HS2 for various refurbishment works to be undertaken on our Church Hall. This success resulted from Ian Keys undertaking a significant application process, which was finally awarded in September 2023. The first element was completed in November 2023 with replacement of the ancient Church Hall boiler with a shiny new modern and efficient one. We have also already been able to repair areas of the felt roof, various wall and parapet repointing, and the uneven small hall flooring. Further works include full toilet facility refurbishment, new entrance doors, new main hall side windows, curtain & rails replacement, and pathway repairs; all of which should be completed in 2024. This is a considerable amount of work to organize and the process and without the tireless efforts from Ian Keys to keep everything arranged, organized, coordinated and on-track, we simply would not have been able to achieve this. ## **Filming** We were delighted to host Disney for four days over September 2023 filming part of an exciting new drama “A thousand Blows”, being part of an epic new 12-part series set in the perilous world of illegal boxing in 1880s Victorian London. As well as providing a welcome contribution to our financial resources, it was fantastic to see the church and grounds taken back in time, with all traces of modernisation removed or discretely concealed. ## **Martinmas Fayre** The Martinmas Fayre was a great success raising just under £5,500 and a huge thank you goes to Gill Collins and her team for all their hard work and organization. The Fayre is a key annual event in our calendar and is critical for both fundraising and increasing our profile within the community. ## **5 Wyteleaf Close** The Curate’s House has been let to independent tenants since 4 July 2022 and the net monthly income significantly benefits the church’s finances whilst the Curate position remains vacant. ## **Safeguarding** Judith Kaplan continues to lead the increased focus on safeguarding, which is strongly encouraged within the diocese. A crucial part of her role as Safeguarding Officer is to ensure that all in a position of responsibility are appropriately trained and a have a current DBS certificate. To help her and the diocese as a whole, the Diocese of London provides various support, resources and training. Every member of the Church has a responsibility to ensure that our church community and wider community see St Martin’s as a safe space and a beacon of good practice. 5 ## **Other Successes** The church continues to meet the spiritual needs of the congregation and provide outreach to those who need support. The following are highlighted in particular: - Excellent support continued for the Hillingdon Foodbank. - Continued participation of young people in Children’s Church and a big thank you must go to Vicky Golby for her leadership and Isabel Parfitt for supporting her. - The Friday Toddlers group continued to flourish during 2023 and is clearly welcomed by parents and grandparents, as well as the little ones. Our thanks to Lucy Jeffries who continued to run the group until early 2024. We are still looking for regular support to run the group and are currently relying on a rota of support. - Our Flower Arrangers have continued to provide delightful displays every week in church and provided a particularly stunning Poinsettia display above the High Altar over Christmas - Our new Director of Music, Viktoria Goncharova, ensured that organ music was provided at the Sunday and Festival Services, with a choir at the main Sunday Masses throughout the year. - Bookings for the Church Hall continued to expand during 2023. - Organised social events continued throughout 2023 and the Christmas Dinner at Browns Restaurant was enjoyed by all who attended. ## **Special Mention** - Thursday Lunches have continued throughout 2023 and deliver an essential and popular service within the local community. Our sincere thanks go to Sweelin, her husband Derek and her dedicated team for providing such amazing, high-quality food and companionship. - The church continued to have committed teams of lay people who, albeit in reduced numbers, assisted as choristers, servers, sidespersons, readers, intercessors and lay liturgical ministers at Mass. - Alan Seymour continued to manage the Sacristy and Serving teams during the year. - As he has done for so many years, Malcolm Roberts kept the church grounds neat and tidy throughout the year and quietly undertook a plethora of minor repairs. - Gill Dargue, the Parish Administrator, continued to deal with clergy, congregation members, visitors, telephone enquiries, churchwardens, hall hirers, contractors etc. in her positive way as well as producing the bulletin every week. We are very grateful for all the effort she puts in. ## **ELECTORAL ROLL** The total number of parishioners recorded on the Electoral Roll at 31 December 2023 was 539. The Electoral Roll Officer provides the latest figures at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. ## **FINANCE REPORT** Year on year, income from donations and legacies has fallen slightly from £124,751 in 2022 to £111,457 in 2023. Income from activities such as weddings, funerals and pilgrimages also decreased from £11,074 in 2022 to £6,185 in 2023. Hall letting income, however, has risen from £25,965 to £30,484 as hall bookings continued to increase. Other fund income increased from £5,141 to £14,744, primarily due to filming income. Investment income also increased from £9,878 in 2022 to £22,219; primarily due to having a full year of rental income from 5 Wyteleaf close. Total costs of £176,837 remained in line with those incurred in 2022. We had a positive movement on investment assets of £2,864, resulting in an overall surplus (of income over expenditure) of £14,827 for 2023. However, in the short-term, our finances have been helped by contributions from filming and the curate’s house being let to independent tenants (since 4 July 2022), but these sources are one-off in nature or temporary whilst the Curate position remains vacant. Also, with our income still remaining below pre-Covid levels, we continued to pay £45,200 towards the Common Fund cost of our own priestly ministry, being only half of the cost to the Diocese of London. Consequently, we will need to take a fresh look at our giving during 2024. 6 We have been focused upon minimising costs and we have recently been able to lock in new three-year contracts over both our Gas and Electricity supplies. For Electricity, our previous three-year contract was agreed back in 2021 before the significant increase in rates. We spent approximately £5,300 on Electricity in 2023 and we have managed to minimise the increase to a forecast £6,300 for 2024. For Gas, we had not been able to avoid the price rises, but we have managed to reduce our 2023 cost of approximately £17,200 down to a forecast of £10,200 for 2024, subject to any change in usage. ## Review of Annual Report and Church Records An Independent Examination has been carried out by Mr Michael Labisi. ## Reserves policy It is the policy of the PCC to retain sufficient cash reserves to cover fixed expenditure for at least three months in the unlikely occurrence of a catastrophic event. Our current unrestricted net assets meet this need. The remaining balance on the Restoration fund will be used to continue the high level of regular maintenance of our ancient church as identified by the Quinquennial review and by our architect between reviews. The PCC considers that there are no material uncertainties about the ability to continue as a going concern. Peter Golby Churchwarden 3 October 2024 _()01�_ Jacqueline Alderton Churchwarden 3 October 2024 7 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Martin of Tours, Ruislip** I report to the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Martin of Tours, Ruislip (charity number 1132848) on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 9 to 16. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Martin of Tours, Ruislip ("the Church") 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 Church's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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** 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 Church 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the valuation of investment assets which are shown at market value, and 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. ## b) **Funds** ENDOWMENT FUNDS are funds of capital which must be maintained: only income arising from the investment of the capital may be used for the purpose for which the endowment was established. RESTRICTED FUNDS represent income from endowments, donations and grants received for a specific objective and which must be expended only for that purpose. UNRESTRICTED FUNDS represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC. ## c) **Incoming resources** Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Gift aid is reclaimed on eligible donations during the year and an accrual is made at the year end for amounts reclaimed and received after the year end but which relate to donations made during the year. Grants and legacies to the PCC are recognised when known and receivable. All income is accounted for on a gross basis in the period to which the income relates. Income from the letting of the church hall is recognised on the date of the letting. ## d) **Resources used** All expenditure is accounted for in the period to which it relates. Any current year expenditure unpaid at 31 December is included in current liabilities in the balance sheet. ## e) **Fixed assets** Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings. Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. All expenditure on these assets, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as incurred. _Depreciation_ Individual assets costing less than £1,000 are written off on acquisition. No depreciation is provided on the freehold property which is maintained to a high standard and the long life and high residual value render depreciation unnecessary. The cost of rebuilding the church hall is depreciated on a straight line basis over 25 years. Equipment and furnishings are depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years. _Investments_ Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. 11 ## **Parish Church of St Martin, Ruislip** ## **Income and Expenditure 12 months to 31 December 2023** |**Income and Endowments**
