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. 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 3 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 and Hall Committee_ Responsible for the maintenance of the fabric and building of the church, the curate’s house and the 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, our Church Welcome Team volunteers are on hand to care for 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. 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 (BWI) and Bishop Ramsey. At _Petertide_ (28[th] June) Fr Joe Grogan was ordained as Deacon to serve in this parish for three years. He has, since then, performed the liturgical duties of a deacon and other responsibilities commensurate with his role as Assistant Curate. We look forward to his priesting on 20[th] June 2026 here at St Martin’s and his first Mass which will be held on 22[nd] June 2026 at 7.30pm. 4 Finally, in 2025 we fulfilled the following parts of our _Mission Action Plan_ from the previous year: - Revive the Holiday Club - Revise PCC committee structure _‘Renew methods of communication’_ remains an on-going area of focus, and in September our PCC Away Day added two other areas of missionary focus, the introduction of: 1. Lunchtime Masses, and 2. A ‘Volunteer Sunday’ ## **Chancel Roof Renewal** In light of reports from our Architect and the opportunity to apply for an ad hoc Area building grant, a campaign to have the Chancel Roof repaired was launched. By the end of the year we were well on our way to reaching our £124k target. As well as the grant we were very fortunate in receiving generous donations from parishioners and others. Hence, preliminary reports are now under way, with a view to the physical works being done next year, along with raising the remaining outstanding amount. ## **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. During this period we also celebrated our Patronal Festival and it was a joy to welcome back Father, now Bishop, Richard Fenwick and his wife Jane. ## **5 Wyteleaf Close** The Curate’s House has been let to independent tenants since 4 July 2022 but is now, once again, home to our Curate! The immense blessing of this also flags up a loss of rental income. ## **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 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: - Excellent support continued for the Hillingdon Foodbank. - Continued participation of young people in Young Church and a big thank you must go to Vicky Golby for her leadership and also to the other volunteers who assist her and the clergy. - The Friday Toddlers group continued to flourish during 2025 and is clearly welcomed by parents and grandparents, as well as the little ones. Our thanks to Sue Hammond for running the group. We are very grateful to the regular band of helpers and are always open to further help! - 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 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. It has also been encouraging to see choristers receiving recognition from the RSCM Awards scheme. - Bookings for the Church Hall continued to expand during 2025. 5 - Organised social events continued throughout 2025 and the Christmas Dinner at Browns Restaurant was enjoyed by all who attended as were other events. ## **Special Mention** - Thursday Lunches have continued throughout 2025 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 including choristers, servers, sidespersons, readers, intercessors and lay liturgical ministers at Mass. - Alan Seymour continued to manage the Sacristy and Serving teams during the year. - Derek Cunliffe and others continued their care and maintenance of the grounds, building and other jobs which arise when caring for a Grade 1 listed building. - 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 extremely grateful for all the effort she puts in. ## **ELECTORAL ROLL** During 2025, as required, there was a complete revision of the Electoral Roll. At the APCM the Electoral Roll officer confirmed there were 280 parishioners recorded on the Electoral Roll. This was a reduction from 549 at 31 December 2024. ## **FINANCE REPORT** Overall, the surplus generated during the year was £50,644 (2024: £45,414). Whilst this surplus appears significant it is important to note that this includes £42k of restricted, one-off donations which relate to the Chancel Roof Project, further details are set out below. Excluding the Chancel Roof donations, total income from donations and endowments fell from £208k to £187k. This was expected as in 2025 we did not benefit from a full year’s rent from the Curate’s House and we did not receive any income from letting out the church building for filming. Importantly, income from planned giving increased from £79k to £90k which reflects the full year impact of the stewardship campaign run during 2024. Planned giving is the most sustainable source of income for the Church, most regular donors now give using standing orders or via the Parish Giving Scheme which reduces the administrative burden and makes planning easier. Income from charitable activities increased by £4k, primarily as a result of the increased number of weddings and funerals during the year – highlighting the importance of St Martin’s to parishioners and the wider community for significant life events. Hall letting income remained static at £32k but is an important source of additional revenue for the Church. 2025 also saw an increase in overall expenditure, rising from £163k to £179k. This was primarily driven by an increase in our contribution to the Diocese of London Common Fund from £57k to £62.5k, repair/maintenance costs for Wyteleaf Close (so as to be ready for our new Curate) and costs associated with our intern who was with us until June 2025. Whilst we have steadily increased our contribution to the Diocese of London Common fund over the last 3-4 years it is recognised that our payments remain below the amount required. As a PCC we are committed to returning to a situation where we are able to contribute our full share of circa £100k per year. At our quinquennial inspection in 2023 the Chancel roof was identified as requiring urgent repair work. A surveyor’s report indicated that the total cost would be in the region of £124k. We were successful in obtaining a £30k grant from the Willesden Area Building’s Fund which will meet part of the cost but additional funding was required before the work could commence. 6 During 2025 a fund raising campaign was launched. By 31 December 2025 circa £42k had been raised and preliminary works have commenced including bat surveys and structural inspections. As noted above, these donations have been included in our income for the year in accordance with applicable accounting standards. We are deeply indebted to our parishioners and to the wider community for their generosity. Given the listed nature of the Church building we are identifying and approaching other grant awarding bodies that may provide support. Our historic reserves and certain designated/restricted funds may also be used to ensure that this work is completed before structural damage occurs. ## 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. Approved by order of the board of trustees on 20 April 2026 and signed on its behalf by ……………………………………… ## Rev’d Dr Robert Chapman – Chair and Trustee 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 2025, which are set out on pages 9 to 17. ## **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** ## **Types of 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 of the general purposes of the PCC. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC. At 31 December 2025 St Martins’ operated the following Endowment and Restricted Funds: Baldwin, Gunn, Gosling & Spencer Fund – An endowment Fund with income arising to be used for the upkeep of the Graveyard and the Church Grounds Lady Mary Franklin Fund – An endowment Fund with income arising to be used for local residents in need of support with food/clothing Bell Tower Fund – to be used for maintenance of the Bell Tower including the Bells Flower Fund – to be used for costs related to flowers in the Church Friends of St Martins Fund – to be used for maintenance and repair costs related to the church building Church Hall Operating Fund – to be used for maintenance and repair costs related to the operation of the Church Hall Clergy House Fund – to be used for maintenance and repair costs related to the Curates House at Wyteleaf Close Restoration Fund – to be used for maintenance and repair costs related to the Church Building During the year the PCC voted to approve changes to the way in which certain funds are accounted for. The changes simplified the overall structure and provided clarification regarding the intended purpose of certain restricted, designated and endowment funds. 11 ## **Parish Church of St Martin, Ruislip** This required a review of historical records and documents (where available) and research conducted by the Ruislip, Northwood and Eastcote Historical Society. The approved changes required transfers to be made between funds which are set in out in detail in the Fund Statement of Change reconciliation which is set out at page 17. In summary, the following changes were made: 1 – The Lady Mary Franklin Fund was recognised as an expendable endowment Fund and was increased from £31 to £1000 by way of a transfer from our unrestricted reserves. Proceeds from the Endowment are to be used for local residents in need of food/clothing. The original endowment dates back to 1732 and this change preserves the original intended use of the funds as well as the name and legacy of Lady Mary Franklin 2 – Three separate funds; the Gossling legacy restricted Fund, the Gunn Endowment Fund and the Graveyard Endowment Fund were combined to form the Baldwin, Gunn, Gosling & Spencer Endowment Fund. The proceeds to be used for the upkeep of the Church Grounds and Graveyard. ## 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. 12 ## **Parish Church of St Martin, Ruislip** ## **Income and Expenditure 12 months to 31 December 2025** |**Income and Endowments**
