The PCC is made up of all the licensed Clergy and Readers, Team Churchwardens and District Churchwardens plus a further 15 elected members of our four District churches. However, we currently have a number of vacancies on the PCC which we hope to elect to at the forthcoming APCM. The PCC is the legal body of governance for the parish and so has to agree any decisions or contracts that involve a legally binding or financial undertaking. The meetings include items such as nurture and growth, the on-going management and future development of our parish properties (including our church buildings, halls, grounds and Church House), staffing, finance, communications, safeguarding which includes child & adult protection), plus regular reports from each of the four District Church Councils and the sub-committees of the PCC. During the past year we have continued to embed and further develop our financial management and reporting systems. Once again we were able to finish the year with a small operating surplus and the increased Parish Share was paid in full. Our thanks to everyone who helped make this possible. We are grateful to the work of the PCC’s Finance sub-committee which works behind the scenes to ensure that sufficient funds are in place to meet our financial commitments and that we strive to balance the books at the year end. Within our Team Ministry quite rightly much of our identity and church life manifests within each of the four Districts. Therefore, the PCC seeks to delegate much of our everyday life in terms of mission and ministry to each of the four District Church Councils of each of our churches. Anne Hubert continued with the task of Team Treasurer ably supported by Simon Ward between them they have done an excellent job in reviewing our finances and fully using the account software package in the way that it is designed to be used. This ensures that the bi-monthly budget reports were available in time for the PCC meetings and gave confidence that the figures produced were posted to the right budget and that the figures produced were correct. This in turn enabled the provisional 2024 accounts to be ready at the beginning of January. Anne due to health issues stepped down from the treasurer role in October and Andrew Emonfomwan agreed to take over the role with assistance and training from Simon. Our sincere thanks must be expressed to Anne, Simon and Andrew plus Isaac and Ola who also undertook training on the systems used. Lize Ringelmann is doing a fantastic job as the Parish Administrator supporting the ministers and the Team Wardens with various tasks and has been a particular support to me as following Darren’s departure in January 2024 much of the legal administration has fallen to the Team wardens. Lize continues to administer all our buildings from the Parish Office which has worked well as all invoices are now sent out timely and any arrears of payments followed up. With Lize administering the letting of all our building this has continued to increase the usage which in turn has shown an increase in income. During the year Revd Cheryl Ramballi left the parish to continue her training in the Norwich area and sadly after many years in Parish as a member of the congregation, a Reader and a Priest we said farewell to Cathy who decided to retire and move to Sutton Bridge. We wish Cathy and Clive well in their retirement and new home. Rev Sharon has been a blessing to St Peter & St Paul’s during the current vacancy undertaking many tasks to ensure that the congregation is well cared for and that it is business as usual after Darren’s departure after so many years as their team Vicar. The past year has been extremely busy adapting to many changes and embedding new ways and systems. There have been many challenges, in particular the continued leak in the Parish Hall Roof and the repairs and redecoration of parts of St. Peter’s and St Paul’s Church. Overall following the replacement boiler and the upgrade of the toilets in the Parish Hall all our buildings are now in a good shape. The only major outstanding works are the installation of the emergency lighting in SSPP church and the resurfacing of the parish hall car park and installation of a barrier to prevent the constant unauthorised parking. My thanks are extended to all members of the PCC (who are also our Charity Trustees) who have generously given of their time, gifts and energy to support the mission and ministry of this Team Ministry. ## **Pam Kirby** ## _Vice-chair PCCair_ of the PCC) ## **Parish Churchwardens report 2024** This has again been a busy year for the team wardens. Whilst the parish is in vacancy following Darren’s departure the administration of the Parish, especially the legal aspects, have fallen to us, fortunately no major problems have been incurred during the year. _Page 5_ We met with Kate and David on a regular basis so that both the ministry and mission of the parish would continue and also the discuss any problems that arose for which the wardens needed to deal with. This proved to be beneficial to us as in the past Darren had produced the Staff Rotas and chaired PCC and the Finance Sub Committee as well as SSPP DCC. As Pam had previously been elected as Vice Chair of these groups she undertook the task of chairing them. A steep learning curve as this involved setting the agendas and ensuring the all-important points were included. The advertising and recruiting the post of Team Rector and vicar of St Peter & St Paul’s Church has been a difficult process with so many other people bring involved. Early in 2024 it was decided by the PCC that a survey would be carried out amongst our congregations, ministers and to a degree the wider community and Chris Carter agreed to produce a suitable survey and then analyse the results. This helped in looking at the profile that we hoped to achieve in recruiting a suitable person for the role. The profile itself also took some months before the final document was ready to upload to the Diocesan website together with the advertisement giving details of the role and what we would like from our new rector. The advertisement in the Church Times was due to go to press as this report was being written. We are grateful to the members of the PCC who met to give input to the process, to the ministers, and in particular Kate who undertook to liaise with Bishop Adam and the Archdeacon, and to Chris for his work on the survey. The building work at 76 High Street commenced again but as previously the owners had not applied for the faculty to over sail the church yard, however we are grateful that the Diocese took control of this. The work on the building does seem to be long drawn out, with some activity taking place and then everything going quiet again. We are grateful to our architect Sherrie who was a great help to us during the process. During the year SERRIC’s lease on the upstairs rooms in the Parish Hall ended and Lize and Pam were involved in agreeing the terms of a new lease. Unfortunately, this proved to be a long drawn-out process but thankfully the new lease has now been signed. The Team’s finances are in good shape due to the good accounting systems in use which enable reports to be produced bimonthly in time for the PCC meetings. We are grateful to Simon Ward who firstly assisted Anne in her role as treasurer and when she stepped down due to ill health oversaw the training of Andrew, Isaac and Ola to ensure that the good practices in place continued. Simon also ensured that the Financial Accounts for the year ending December 2024 were completed very early in January to enable them to be accepted by the PCC and audited ready for the Annual Parish Church Meeting. Simon has decided to step back for assisting the treasurer and we are grateful to him for the 16 years that he has been producing an annual budget which has enabled the team to keep a close eye on the expenditure for the parish and the income required to cover this. We extend our appreciation to the District Wardens who work tirelessly to support the ministers, look after the buildings and day to day maintenance. Thanks also go to Alyson Davies the Parish Safeguarding Officer who ensures that all the necessary training is carried out and where necessary DBS’s are obtained. This is a particularly important role in light of the problems that the Church of England have had which been in the National Press. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we need to ensure that Alyson receives all the support that we can give her in order to carry out her role. Lize the Parish administrator has been an enormous help during the past year undertaking to obtain estimates for essential work to be carried out on all of the buildings and assisting us with what at some times has been a neverending workload. Finally, to our ministers, both lay and ordained, and especially our newest lay minister Tina who was licensed during the year. With the parish being in vacancy and the loss of first Cheryl and then Cathy everyone has been committed and worked together to ensure the smooth running of the Team and maintaining services in all the churches with the help of outside clergy which Kate has been able to arrange. We look forward to the coming year and the recruitment of the new Team Rector and hope that everyone will continue to work together as a TEAM. ## **Pam Kirby and Nicky Menakaya** ## _Parish Wardens_ ## **Finance Sub-Committee Report** The Finance Sub-Committee has met 6 times during the past year and has continued to meet in the Parish Office. The purpose of the sub-committee is to provide the PCC with regular information and reports as we seek to be good stewards of the money that we both receive and spend. _Page 6_ The PCC members continue to receive regular financial statements that indicate where we are in relation to the annual budget so as to best oversee the parish’s financial position. 2024 proved a must less challenging than the previous few years when having predicted a small end of year surplus in the general fund in fact the budget showed a surplus of £9053. Funds had been spent on the Parish Hall to install a new boiler and also the upgrade the toilets which therefore showed an overspend on the hall maintenance of £8447. Future work is planned for the hall including resurfacing the carpark and install a barrier and it is intended that the surplus funds for 2024 will be earmarked for this. The parish share of £140,068 which had increased from the £120,000 in 2023 was paid in full. Because Voluntary giving did not reach the budgeted amount, income tax recoverable through the Gift Aid scheme was also down. However, Investment Income was higher than expected. We continue to review our PCC investments to maximise their return, and the increases in deposit rates has assisted our annual income. The Sub-committee also oversees the Gift Aid process using a computer-based system which generates the claim to HM Revenue & Customs. We continue to take advantage of being able to claim on ‘open plate’ giving which has helped add to the amount of Gift Aid claimed. Alongside, this we are continuing to encourage people to complete a Gift Aid declaration and if possible, commit to one of the planned giving options that are available and it is intended that a planned giving programme is to be carried out during this year to encourage members of our congregations to be aware of the various schemes available particularly to those paying income tax to enable the parish to obtain the gift aid on their giving. Having in 2022 introduced the option to give using either local church specific QR codes and/or an electronic card reader/contactless giving terminal this have continued to work well and having earlier purchased a second machine we later purchased yet another one. These three machines are installed in St. Peter & St. Paul, All Saints’ and St Clements churches and have had varying success. Our thanks to the members of the Finance sub-committee who give their time and expertise but also a particular note of appreciation to our PCC Treasurer Anne Hulbert, who due to health issues stepped down from the role in October and to Simon Ward who have both given hours to this important yet often hidden part of our parish life. Andrew Emonfomwan has undertaken the treasurer role with the continued help of Simon and the assistance of others. Unfortunately for the Parish Simon has decided to step back from the valuable assistance he has given to the Parish over so many years, it has only been through his expertise in setting the budget for each year that the parish has been fortunate to be able to meet its commitments and be in such a healthy financial position. Therefore our parish finances are in good shape as we approach the future, fortunately our Parish Share for 2025 has not shown the significant increase experience in 2024 although we appreciate year on year the amount of Parish Share that we will be asked to contribute will without doubt if we are to retain our current stipendiary clergy allocation which will include the appointment of the new Team Rector. ## **Pam Kirby** Vice-Chair, Finance Sub-Committee ## **SS Peter and Paul Report on the Fabric 2024** The maintenance of the church building continued to receive attention to ensure it was in a good state throughout the year. **General Church Maintenance** - Roof Repairs – There was water leakage from the roof on the southside. Bakers of Danbury were paid to fix the leaking roof on the southside. There is damage to the pillars inside the Church, which will be look at during the summer months when there is less moisture. **Next Quinquennial Inspection Report** : The next quinquennial inspection will be carried out in 2026. The 2021 quinquennial report included a list of recommendations to be completed over the next 12 months. This report captures the most urgent ones. **Urgent works require immediate attention.** Formalise the fire plan. **Recommended work that needs to be completed during the next twelve months** . I. Remove the buddleia at the east end of the south vestry roof and repair the hole in the mortar fillet in lime mortar. II. Remove the buddleia from the tower and move it to the buttress, which meets the north vestry roof. III. Remove the fern growing by the roof on the north side of the sanctuary wall and from the buttress at the west end of the north aisle wall. Service the tower clock. _Page 7_ IV. Have the fire service review the fire plan. Remove the buddleia next to the south boundary wall by the church hall and parish office and remove the ivy growing on the wall. V. Prune the fig tree on the grounds of the church hall adjacent to the wall. **Church Yard Maintenance** Thurrock Council continues to attend to cut the grass in the churchyard. The Church maintains the lawn around the Church Hall during work mornings. **Tower access & Bells:** The tower can now be accessed safely due to the work to provide safe access to the tower. **Electrical Work:** PAT testing was last completed in December 2021 **Emergency Lighting:** We have received quotes from three companies of varying costs third. The process is being made to apply for an online faculty prior to work starting. The plan is to remove the iron curtain from the entrance into the Church, so a Pelmet is no longer needed. **The Church Hall** Bookings are stable; we have kept our regular users and gained a few more. **Car Park Management** . Part of the plans for this year is to resurface the carpark surface, smooth out the potholes and draw distinct parking lines. We have received one quote for approximately £9,000, and we are expecting another quote as the cost of the work is over £1,000 and requires three quotes. There is also a plan to install barriers at the entrance to the car park. No companies have yet been identified to quote for the work. ## **St Peter & St Paul District Church Council** After APCM, Pam Kirby was nominated and elected Chair at the first DCC meeting. The Minute Secretary rotates between a few people, mainly Rev Sharon. **Safer Recruitment Officer** - Alyson Davies continued as the Parish Safer Recruitment Officer. A call has been made for each Church to have their safer recruitment Officer to assist Alyson. **Staff & Vocation** – The Church announced that Rev. Sharon will be visiting Sri Lanka for 5 weeks starting in April in a mission and ministry capacity. Rev Dr Kate has been carrying out training sessions for Lay members on how to lead worship. **Christmas activities** —Several schools visited the Church for their Christmas carols. The Christmas Carol with St Thomas, the Crib Service on December 24, and the Christmas Eve service were successful. It was a busy period for our clergy, who led the different groups that attended the Church. In total, we saw close to five thousand people come through the Church during the Christmas period. ## **Exceptional Events in 2024** Throughout 2024 SSPP adapted to not having a permanent Vicar, after the departure of Rev Darren Barlow. The Church has continued to strive, and God has been faithful. We continue to thank God for our team clergy's efforts during this period, as they have worked tirelessly and continue to find ways to support church activities. At the same time, they provide pastoral care to the most vulnerable and keep themselves and their family safe. The tireless work of Pam and Nicky alongside the churchwardens, servers, welcomers and choir has kept the Church thriving with an upturn in parishioners. Special thanks to Rev Sharon and everyone else who have done their jobs efficiently and quietly. We give thanks to God for all their lives and ask God to bless them in everything they do. ## _**Andrew Emonfomwan and Samuel Folayan** (District Churchwarden)_ ## **All Saints’ Chafford Hundred Team Vicar’s Report** I continue to love and appreciate the mix of people we see coming to worship at All Saints Church. We have a core of dedicated members of the church who regularly serve to make sure our Sundays run well. _Page 8_ When we meet as a DCC we frame the main part of our discussion around the words 'welcome, worship and witness'. In addition, during 2024, the congregational surveys have helped us to identify areas where we particularly need to focus and improve. We have a friendly congregation that enjoys staying behind after church to catch up with each other. New people have noticed the friendly welcome although there is more that we can do to enable them to engage with the life of the church and to feel like they belong. We are blessed to have families with children and a wide range of ages coming the church. However, there is much we could be doing to make the material we use on a Sunday more engaging for children and youth. We enjoy learning together as a church family but truly Intergenerational Worship is developed over time. We have been including materials for discipleship within our Sunday services (following videos from The Biggest Story) and, more recently, we have been using the 'Practicing the Way' course after church for those wanting to go deeper with spiritual disciplines. We continue to have the blessing of welcoming new families into the church through Baptism. Our particular missional challenge may be to strengthen the engagement between our Sunday congregation and the wider community in Chafford Hundred. This can be tricky when so many have busy families and working lives. I have felt encouraged in some of the links I have been able to build with our local community, including those who use the Beacon Centre and Angel Cafe during the week. In considering the dreams and challenges we take into 2025 my thoughts are on this question: 'Who is Jesus calling us to be in this place and for this particular time?'. I believe that every church in every place can ask this question, however old we are and however settled or transient we might be in that place. ## **Revd Kate Carter** _Team Vicar_ ## **All Saints’ Church Wardens Report** After the APCM of 2024 our church wardens were Yetunde Adebiyi and Marjorie Griffiths. Both have sadly needed to step down in early 2025 due to house moves/family reasons but we have appreciated the care and attention they gave to their roles. They have assisted Kate Carter in sustaining Sunday services and in organising missional events through the year as well as ensuring that all the property of the church is in place and cared for. They have worked with Lize Ringelmann in her care for the Beacon Centre building I would like to give my particular thanks for the enthusiastic and prayerful support over the year from Yetunde, Marjorie and Lize. ## **Revd Kate Carter** _Team Vicar_ ## **St Clement’s West Thurrock Team Vicar’s Report** This year has been amazing. We have learnt new worship songs that really express a deeper express of our love for Jesus. We did have a huge challenge as we mourned the loss of our beloved Chris Whalley who sadly passed away. He was such an inspiration and huge part of our church family. The children’s ministry has had an explosion with many children coming to our church and being allowed to express themselves during the service. We are looking to do more services with the back end of the church open as the numbers on a Sunday morning are continuing to increase. We are being to have more volunteers step forward that what to help and there is an increase in communication between members outside of the Sunday service. Helen has done a great job in running the hall and the Friday community hub which has been a light in the west Thurrock community. ## **David Peterson** _St Clement’s Team Vicar_ ## **St Clement’s West Thurrock Churchwardens Report** This year was difficult as we lost Chris Whalley. He helped us and trained us how to be wardens and will be truly missed. All the church furniture and ornaments have remained the same apart from receiving new oil-based candles. Nothing has yet to be removed or changed. We have been working together to clear the old toys from our previous play group and hope to start a new one in the new year. We have been encouraged by the way the church has been growing and the feedback we have received after the service. A lot of the members have grown in their faith, and we are all grateful for the hard work the team ministry and David put into our services to ensure that we are spiritually _Page 9_ fed. We have started a new prayer group on Thursday’s which has created a greater sense of community within our church. ## **Daniel Abraham and Ola Giwa** _St Clement’s District Churchwardens_ ## **St Clement’s Sunday school** We are blessed to have a thriving Sunday school at St Clement’s that runs on the first and third Sunday each month. We regularly have 15- 20 children, broken into the following age groups – under 5’s and 5 to 11 years old. We have two main leaders and two regular volunteers and we are also supported by parent helpers. We’re dedicated to Safeguarding and have all completed the necessary training. Year 4 -6 are encouraged to share meditations and prayers with the church at notice time, which is an encouragement to us all and helps them to grow in their understanding and intercessory skills. We continue to cover scripture from the Old and New Testaments and explore topics such as making good and Godly choices, having self-control in hard times, trusting God and dealing with disappointment. We have a mix of children whose parents are members, neighbours and friends of members attending which is great for the community. Over the past year we have prepared 11 children for their first Holy Communion. Going forward we would like to continue to build our links with families and children, continue to grow our Sunday school and hopefully arrange a trip for the children in the summer. ## **Tina and Mofya** ## **St Mary’s Little Thurrock Team Vicar’s Report** This year has been a good year. We have had a lot of young people visiting our church. We have noticed a slight increase in the amount of young people in the area that are making enquires about being baptised with has really raised our spirits. We have been amazed at how God continues to send new faces despite the older members falling ill or passing away, we can see that God has a plan for St Mary’s and look forward to what he does in the future. ## **David Peterson** _St Mary’s Team Vicar_ ## **St Mary’s Little Thurrock Church Wardens Report** This year was challenging as we were missing the members that had passed away and some members were not well during the year and couldn’t attend church. But we noticed that God kept sending new families to the church which has been a huge encouragement. The inventory is fine as nothing has been added or take away from the church. We are planning to have the organ fixed as the off switch had been broken so we now switch it on and off at the main switch. There was nothing urgent to fix according to the last quinquennial. The South naïve that was fixed due to the previous quinquennial is doing fine and we look forward to the next one. ## **Ben Deverell** _St Mary’s Little Thurrock District Warden_ ## **Mothers’ Union APCM Report** Mothers’ Union continues to meet on the first Wednesday of the month at SSPP from 2-3.45pm. This timing has worked well and we now have a regular group attending comprising members and visitors. Six of our visitors have become full members in 2025. Several members now arrange to meet for lunch at the Council café before the meeting which extends the social aspect of the group. We held a number of activities during the year which included visiting speakers and Bible Studies which were all well received. _Page 10_ The Deanery Festival is an annual event which will be hosted by Grays Branch this year at SSPP on 2[nd] July 25 at 2pm. The theme this year is Join Up, Join in. We hold one or two fundraising events during the year to raise money for Mothers’ Union charities. All members of our Team churches are welcome to attend. We have renewed our contact with Ruth House and supported the mums and their children with Christmas gifts in December 24 which was much appreciated. We look forward to keeping in touch with them through regular visits. All our events are advertised in the church magazine so why not join us for an enjoyable afternoon with friends. Everyone is welcome. ## **Margaret Mumford** ## _Branch Leader_ ## **Pastoral Assistants report -Friday Coffee Mornings** Margaret is a Pastoral Assistant within the Team and is based at All Saints’ Church. She visits some people in their homes and is always available for a chat and a prayer for anyone who requests it. She runs an email prayer support group for people within our Team churches which is regularly updated. Margaret can also take communion to individuals in their homes if they are unable to get to church. The SsPP Friday ‘Tea and Toast’ is an opportunity to show pastoral care to the community. Although numbers vary it is often quite busy as it meets a need in the local area. We have regular volunteers but are always looking for more helpers to assist with refreshments and to chat to those who come. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Sandra or pop in on a Friday morning to find out more. **Margaret Mumford** ## _Pastoral Assistant_ ## **Licensed Lay Ministers report** Over the past year we have managed to regularly visit all of the churches in the team, including the two in Chadwell St Mary, we feel privileged to be able to journey alongside everyone we meet which in turn helps deepen our own faith. We facilitated a Bible study group during Lent 2024 and hope to use our training and skills to support the members of our team churches in variety of ways over the coming year. We are looking forward to meeting and working alongside the new team rector when they come and we are excited about the opportunities they will bring to the team. ## **Alyson and Tina** ## _Licensed lay ministers_ ## **Safeguarding Report** Our team of churches remain committed to safeguarding as an integral part of ministry and mission, promoting a safer culture and the welfare of every child, young person and adult. As PSO, I continue to work to help our volunteers to complete their safeguarding training in a timely manner by monitoring the volunteer lists and sending out reminders with the link to access the on-line courses. I rely on information from the clergy and members of each of the team churches to keep the volunteer lists up-dated and current. Prompt, timely communication continues to be the key factor in managing the safeguarding requirements, raising concerns and seeking advice in a timely manner. The Diocese are planning to launch The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard soon. This is an on-line tool that will help us to keep track of safeguarding in our team and to keep us up to date with local and national changes in Safeguarding Standards. _Page 11_ _“The good news speaks of a welcome for all, with a particular regard for those who are vulnerable, into a community where the value and dignity of every human being is affirmed and those in positions of responsibility and authority are truly trustworthy. Being faithful to our call to share the gospel therefore compels us to take with the utmost seriousness the challenge of preventing abuse from happening and responding well where it has.”_ (From” Promoting a Safer Church”- C of E Safeguarding Policy Statement.) ## **Alyson Davies** _Safeguarding officer_ ## **Parish Administrator’s report** Hall bookings are steady, and we have over thirty regular hall hirers across the team. This is a good thing as we also facilitate a great variety of groups which in turn serve the community. It has been teamwork when it came to arranging quotes for essential hall maintenance and the instruction of contractors. General administrative duties were kept up to date and I felt supported by the team. Pam has been remarkable in her support and guidance. ## **Lize Ringelmann** _Parish Administrator_ _Page 12_ ## **Grays Thurrock Team Ministry** ## **www.GraysThurrockTeamMinistry.org** _**Registered Charity Number: 1132873**_ Revd Sharon Ejinkonye (Interim Lead Minister) _**Ss Peter & Paul**_ Rev.sharon@gttm.org _(Rest day-Monday)_ 07494741623 Rev David Peterson _(Team Vicar)_ _**St Mary’s & St Clement’s**_ 01375 410100 Rev.David@gttm.org _(Rest Day - Wednesday)_ Revd Dr Kate Carter _**All Saints’ Church**_ 07946026303 Rev.kate@gttm.org _(Rest day- Friday)_ 01375 464571 Mrs Pam Kirby _(Reader P.T.O.)_ pkirby@gttm.org (Limited availability) 01375 376080 Mrs Alyson Davies (Licensed Lay Minister) adavies@gttm.org (Limited availability) 07815418208 Mrs Tina Bailes (Licensed Lay Minister _)_ (Limited availability) 07311646747 Mrs Margaret Mumford (Pastoral Assistant and Authorised Lay Preacher) churchmar1@btinternet.com (Limited availability) 01375 383134 ## _**Grays Team Parish Office**_ Lize Ringelmann _(Parish Administrator)_ 01375 373215 parish.office@gttm.org Parish Office opening times – Mon to Fri 10.30am-1.30pm _Please try not to contact anyone on their Rest Day_ **Grays Thurrock Team Ministry PCC** _Page 13_ ## **Independent Examiners Report For the year ended 31 December 2024** Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Grays Thurrock Team Ministry PCC (‘the charity’) I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Accounting policies a Accounting Convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities, issued in March 2005 and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and the revaluation of fixed assets in accordance with their insured values. The financial statements 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 affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members. b Funds Accounting Funds held by the PCC are: Unrestricted funds - general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes Designated funds monies set aside by the PCC out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects. Restricted funds - a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the tenns of the trust or bequest., b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund. Endowment funds - funds the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from the investment of the endowment may be used, either as restricted or unrestricted funds, depending on the purpose set out in the terms of the original endowment c Incoming Resources All incoming resources are accounted for gross. Voluntary Income Collections are recognised when received. Planned giving receivable is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies are recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due. Income from Investments Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they are re￿iVed All other Income All other income is recognised when it is re￿1Vable. Gains and Losses on Investments Realised gains and losses are recognised when the investments are sold Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation on 31 December. Page 3 GRAYS THURROCK TEAM MINISTRY PCC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 d Resources Expended ReSoUr￿S expended are accounted for on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. and is part of the expenditure to which it relates. Grants Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over. or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Church Activities The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when paid. Any parish contribution unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. 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. Governance costs include the costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the charity and include costs incurred in generating the information required for public accountability. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. e Fixed Assets Tangible fixed assets Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by the Charities Act2011. Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special twst for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected. For inalienable property acquired prior to 1 January 2011 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Tangible fixed assets are stated at revaluation based on valuations made for insurance purposes. All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings and individual items costing under £1000 are written off in the year they were incurred. Page 4 GRAYS THURROCK TEAM MINISTRY PCC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Depreciation No depreciation is provided on freehold property as it is the PCC'S policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair. The useful economic life of these assets is so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material. These assets will be subject to annual impairment reviews. Provision will be made if there has been any permanent diminution in value. Investments Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. Current Assets Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds, or at the bank.
