_St.Michael’s Brierley Hill, Christ Church Quarry Bank St.John’s Brockmoor_ 

## **Trustees Financial Report 2025 as reported at the 2026 AGM** 

All reports are included in the AGM notes and the draft accounts included. These accounts will be presented and accepted at the next PCC meeting. Treasurers were asked to forward accepted reports to DH so that he can return them. 

Total funds available at the end of the year: 

· St Michael’s: £289,873 (of which £2535 is held in endowment funds) 

- St John’s: £51,108 (£36,772 which is held in restricted and endowment funds) 

- Christ Church: £47,129 (none of which is held in endowment funds) 

Christ Church has connected to Free Agent online accounting software to support the accounts and tracking. Christ Church benefit from the Quarry Bank Education Trust which helps fund all of the children’s work and includes funding for Paul Wilmott (£53 a month) to attend Mount Pleasant Primary once a month for assembly. Paul Wilmott is keen to build a partnership between the school and parish and a member of the church community attends with him. This is available to all churches in the Team and could be something to look into in the future. Christ Church has also accessed some grants to refurbish some of the building. 

Cost of photocopying has been reduced due to some good links with local companies. The photocopier can be used by all of the Team. 

Full Lower Income Community Funding Grant has been given for 2026 as we are in the top 12% of the most deprived areas in the country. As a Team, we pay our in Ministry Share in full each year with the support of the Lower Income Community Funding 

Thanks were noted to all the treasurers – Bob Titmus, John Gray and Steph Box

## **DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHRIST CHURCH QUARRY BANK** 

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 set out on pages two to seven. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The members of the DCC are responsible  for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the DCC consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

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

## **Basis of the 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 DCC 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 members of the DCC 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting Requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**for the Year Ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Accounting convention** 

**T** he FCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individuals accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' 'true and fair view'' provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under FRS102 (2016) 

as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)). 

## **ASSETS** 

## Investments 

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at PCC's best estimate of market value. 

## Short Term Deposits 

These are the cash held on deposit either with CCLA or at the bank. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the payment is due. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the DCC receives the amounts due. Dividends, interest and all other income are recognised when received. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Any parish share unpaid at the year end is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor on the Balance Sheet. 

## **Taxation** 

The Church is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

## Unrestricted funds 

These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use for spending on a future 

project and which are therefore not included in its ''free reserves'' as disclosed in the trustees' report. 

## Restricted funds 

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

## Endowment Funds 

These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. 

Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL OF** 

## 

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 set out on pages two to eight. 

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

The members of the DCC are responsible  for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the DCC consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

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

## **Basis of the 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 DCC 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 members of the DCC 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting Requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHRIST CHURCH QUARRY BANK** 

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 set out on pages two to seven. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The members of the DCC are responsible  for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the DCC consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

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

## **Basis of the 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 DCC 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 members of the DCC 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting Requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**for the Year Ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Accounting convention** 

**T** he FCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individuals accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' 'true and fair view'' provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under FRS102 (2016) 

as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)). 

## **ASSETS** 

## Investments 

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at PCC's best estimate of market value. 

## Short Term Deposits 

These are the cash held on deposit either with CCLA or at the bank. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the payment is due. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the DCC receives the amounts due. Dividends, interest and all other income are recognised when received. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Any parish share unpaid at the year end is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor on the Balance Sheet. 

## **Taxation** 

The Church is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

## Unrestricted funds 

These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use for spending on a future 

project and which are therefore not included in its ''free reserves'' as disclosed in the trustees' report. 

## Restricted funds 

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

## Endowment Funds 

These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. 

Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of DISTRICT CHURCH COUNCIL OF** 

## 

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 set out on pages two to eight. 

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

The members of the DCC are responsible  for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the DCC consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

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

## **Basis of the 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 DCC 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 members of the DCC 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting Requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
