PCC Bankers HSBC Bank PLC, Holborn, London

Independent Examiner: Mr Michael Labisi BSc MIF FCA

The PCC does not retain a legal or any other adviser.

The day-to-day management of the affairs of the PCC is delegated to the Churchwardens, who can be contacted through the parish office.

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.

3

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.

Mission 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.

We have an agreed suite of risk policies which have been approved by the PCC which are regularly reviewed and updated.

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.

ACTIVITIES

Fr Robert has been with us since January 2023. He, along with the PCC and other volunteers, has continued to ensure that the worshipping pattern of life continues at St Martin’s. Daily Mass is at the heart of what we do as a church. The 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. An important part of our connection to the parish is the open church. During this time, the open church is sometimes staffed by a Church Welcome Team who are 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.

St Martin’s continues to fulfil the Willesden Area Mission Action Plan of ‘Growing Younger’ as we work with postConfirmation young people and young adults. During the last quarter of 2024 this work has been enhanced by Rowland Linder, our Parish Intern. Thus, termly Youth Masses with neighbouring churches and Young Adult Film nights are now a regular thing. Our work with young people also continues with Young Church, now at both Main parish Masses, the Junior Choir and with our connections to our schools in the parish and Bishop Ramsey. Fr Robert and Rowland go to BWI every Wednesday to lead their Collective Worship and we are blessed in being able to welcome schools to our church and leading assemblies in non-church schools.

4

Finally, our activities include fulfilling our Mission Action Plan formulated at the PCC Away Day in June. The three areas of activity identified were:

  1. Renew methods of communication

  2. Revive the Holiday Club

  3. Revise PCC committee structure

Church Hall Development

We were successful in a grant bid from HS2 for various refurbishment works to be undertaken on our Church Hall. The work was undertaken during 2024 and was completed in November. The work included the replacement of the Church Hall boiler, a full refurbishment of the toilet facilities, new entrance doors, new main hall side windows, curtain & rails replacement. Significant repairs to our pathways were also undertaken.

This was a considerable amount of work to organise and we would like to express our thanks in particular to Ian Keys and Peter Golby who were instrumental in managing this complex process.

Filming

We were delighted to host the BBC for a week during the year who were filming David Mitchell’s new detective series ‘Ludwig’.

Whilst it was unusual to see the church as a murder scene the income generated was a welcome addition to our fund raising.

Martinmas Fair

The annual Martinmas Fair was a great success raising over £5,000 and a huge thank you goes to the amazing team for all their hard work and organisation. The Fair 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.

We are excited about the arrival of our new Curate in the Summer of 2025. As a result income generated from renting the Curate’s House will stop in April 2025.

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.

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:

Special Mention

ELECTORAL ROLL

The Electoral Roll Officer provides the latest figures at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. The total number of parishioners recorded on the Electoral Roll at 31 December 2024 was 549. We are required to prepare a new Electoral Roll in 2025.

FINANCE REPORT

Year on year, income from donations and legacies increased from £111,457 to £128,219, primarily as a result of the stewardship campaign run by Ken Wild which took place during the Summer. We also benefited from generous legacies bequeathed to the Church. Income from charitable activities such as weddings, funerals and pilgrimages remained relatively static. Hall letting income increased from £30,484 to £31,820.

The Church continued to benefit from rental income generated by letting out the Curates House on Wyteleaf Close. As St Martin’s is due to welcome a new Curate this revenue will cease from April 2025.

Other Fund Raising activities includes income related to the letting of the Church building for filming which is not expected to reoccur in 2025.

Total costs of £163,162 were circa £13,000 lower than the prior year due to reduced repairs and maintenance costs and lower electricity and gas bills.

Our contribution to the Diocese of London Common Fund increased from £45,200 in 2023 to £57,024 in 2024. It is recognised that this remains below the required amount and we are committed to increasing our contribution during 2025.

Overall, the surplus generated during the year was £45,414.

At our quinquennial inspection in 2023 the Chancel roof was identified as requiring urgent repair work. We have been successful in obtaining a grant from the Willesden Area Building’s Fund which will meet part of the cost but additional funding is required before the work can commence. Given the listed nature of the Church building we are identifying and approaching other grant awarding bodies that may provide support. The surplus generated in 2024 and certain of our designated/restricted funds may also be used.

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.

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 2024, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31st December 2024

1 Accounting Policies

a) Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2015.

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.
