Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 St December 2024
Charity registration number." 1132975
Objectives and Activities
The Parochial Church Council of St Laurence, Northfield (the PCC) has the
responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, (currently in vacancy), in promoting
in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical,
social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of
the church
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our
church and to become part of our parish community at St Laurence. The PCC
maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on
how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services
and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament.
Also, through non sacramental aclivities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach
non churched members of the community.
Public Benefit
The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to
it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work
of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Laurence it helps to promote
the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more
effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to
the public by:
Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and
intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to
benefit from what the Church offers. and
Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their
communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
Worship and Prayer is enabled by the Worship Committee. The committee met
three times in 2024 and planned all services and worship. The meeting is chaired by
Rowena and attended by Fr John, Janice, Lawrence, Roy, Hilda and Elaine. In
addition, we have considered the provision of home communion to the housebound
and the sick, Sunday School, Look Out Groups, Parade and Family Services

amongst other matters. In December. Archdeacon Jenny Tomlinson consecrated our
new liturgical furniture.
The Committee is very grateful to everyone who helps with our worship, not just Fr
John and Janice but also our servers, organist and choristers, bell ringers, lesson
readers, sidespeople, intercessors and those who serve tea and coffee.
All are welcome to attend our regular servI￿s. At present there are 147 parishioners
on the church electoral roll. Our congregation stands at between 40 and 60 most
Sundays but increases during Festival times such as Easter and Christmas. In
addition we hold a Sunday School service three times a month. We have a regular
group of families who continue to attend as well as attracting a few new families who
are attending to help secure a place in the Infant School and it is pleasing that many
continue to attend Sunday School On￿ a school place has been obtained.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank
God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through Baptism we thank God
for the gift of life; in marriage vows are exchanged with God's blessing; through
funeral services family and friends express their grief and commend the person into
God's keeping. We have celebrated 7 baptisms, 3 weddings, 11 funerals and 16 for
committal onlylburial of ashes in our Church throughout the year.
Our Infant and Junior Schools also attend the Church to hold their termly services
and feel blessed that they receive support from our church. During the vacancy
members of our cOng￿gatIon have attended the schools to lead acts of worship with
the children. We also attend a prayer group consisting of parents and friends of both
schools who meet monthly.
on￿ a month during term time we also hold a Uniformed Parade Service to include
the 6 sections (2 Beavers, 2 Cubs and 2 Scouts), with 150 young members together
with the Explorers who consist of 40 members 14-18.
The Church, The Pastoral Centre and the Barn
We want our church to be open to our community for private prayer but unfortunately
due to the amount of crime that has arisen recently, it is not possible to leave the
church unlocked when unattended. We do organise a rota for Open Church on a
Saturday morning from 10.00 am to 11.30 am for 9 months of the year where people
can attend for private prayer or just pop in for a drink and a chat.
During the year we were grateful to receive a further grant from the Harlow Trust in
respect of external drainage improvement in the sum of £8,550, this has now been
completed. In addition, we received a legacy from a local parishioner in the sum of
£5,000 as an unrestricted gift.

Group for senior school children (our
contribution to fight against knife crime) and bi-monthly craft sessions for Adults. In
addition, the
Centre is offered out to various organisations to include educational
and social activities.
The Barn is occupied by Polkadot Ellis Accountants under a lease extended in 2019.
Pastoral Care
Some members of our Parish are unable to attend Church due to sickness or age so
we still operate a Zoom service to enable those who wish to, to join in. We also
operate a Lookout Group with lead members responsible for certain members of the
Congregation. Home Communion is offered and distributed by our Home
Communion Team. In addition. our Lay Reader {along with several members of the
congregation) attends Chatham House {for the sight impaired or blind) once a month
to carry out a short service of worship to include hymns.

Mission and Evangelism
We have a weekly Church email newsletter instead of a Parish Magazine. Around
200 copies are emailed with a further 20 printed for those who prefer a printed copy.
The newsletter keeps our
Parishioners updated on the matters affecting our Church and important articles
which involve our Local Community.
We also have a Focus Group that meet on the third Thursday of most months
starting at 10.30 and finishing at 12.00. The group has discussed various subjects
during the last twelve months ranging from passages from the bible and how we
interpret their meaning to what is on the news and how it affects us. We have
shared childhood memories of our first instruction to our faith and the influences from
family and friends, So many subjects have arisen from just talking face to face which
in this day and age is a joy to share, with no mobile phones, no WhatsApp messages
and no Zoom meetings. Oh, and you may just get a cup of tea or coffee and a
biscuitl
Ecumenical Relationships
The Church is a member of Churches Together in Northfield which is the grouping
together of several of the Churches in the Northfield area. During 2024 this involved
the Northfield Baptist Church, Northfield Methodist Church, St Bartholomew's C of E,
St Brigid's Roman Catholic Church, St David's C of E, St Laurence's C of E and the
Quakers.
Some of the activities of the group during the year were Ashing Services and Lent
Courses, the Easter Walk of Witness through Northfield, Community Christmas,
Carol Singing in Northfield, Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and Church
Exchanges.
Financial Review
Net Assets £501 ,956 (2023 £507,571). Total deficit for the year £13,845 (2023
£13,453), being unrestricted deficit of £4,565 and restricted deficit of £39,280.
Income has dropped to £131,334 from £170,343 last year. The main reasons are
reduction in LPOW monies that related to the work carried out on the church last
year and also related grants. Churchyard fees and funeral fees are much lower this
year too.
Expenditure has reduced from £183,796 to £145,180. A lot of this relates to the work
carried out on the church last year but other codes have moved too during the year -
please see analysis of income and expenditure sheets,
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets)
which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to
£32,359. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies.
The balance of the free reserves at the year end was £204,376 which is much higher
than this target. The PCC feel this gives them a cushion of support in these
uncertain economic times.

Safeguarding
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding
and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops,
guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Reporting Serious Incidents
A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or
risks significant harm to the charity's beneficiaries, employees, office holders,
volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss
of the charity's money or assets, damage to the charity's property or harm to the
charity's work or reputation.
The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year
Fundraising
The PCC takes it fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all
donors - whether regular or occasional - for their support of the church and church
events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC take full
responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or
professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events,
special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful.
Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to
make our Church a lively and vibrant community. Our especial thanks go to our
church wardens, who have worked so tirelessly on our behalf and our treasurer, who
has helped us all understand the church's accounts and its finances.
Risk Management
The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly
inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for
child protection and for work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking
of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate
cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church
in the Parish is ongoing.
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity
registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial
Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2nd
January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the
Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church
Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens,
those elected to the Deanery Synod. and other members who are elected at the
Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. The PCC
members re￿1ve training from courses run by the Diocese. Members of the

congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to
the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general
concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC meet 5
times a year.

Independent Examiner's report
Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2024
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they
consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is
needed. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145{5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention,
Basis of the Independent Examiner's statoment
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 charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records.
It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts
and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 examlner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention
which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect..
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be reached.
Date: 14th July 2025

Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Accounting Policies
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial
statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with
the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCS,
and with the Regulations true and fair view" provisions. They have also been
prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the
relevant notes to these accounts. 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 main affiliation to another body nor
those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.
Cashflow Statement
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement
to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed
£500,000.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast
significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.
No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.
Description of Funds
Unrestrlcted funds are 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 or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not
included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees, annual report.
Designated funds held by the PCC:
Legacies - created from legacies re￿iVed by the Church and used for specific
purposes by the PCC not concerned with the day to day expenditure.
Restricted funds comprise of elements..
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those
restricted objects provided in the terms 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 each year must be
carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest
separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is
apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Restricted funds held by the PCC:
100 Club - fundraising activity making donations to charities and the Pastoral Centre
Building grants and donations received for the repair and renovation of the church
and spent on the same.
Bell - receives donations mainly from visiting ringers and pays for the maintenance
on the bells, tower and associated equipment
Churchyard- income from Churchyard fees funds churchyard salaries and
maintenance
Flower- income from weddings, funerals and donations used to purchase flowers to
decorate the church
Hand Bells - income from donations and collections pays for the upkeep of the bells,
ringers travel and uniforms
Harlow Trust Ceiling Repairs Grant 2023 - specific one-off grant

Larry's Safe Space - income grom grants and donations funds the running costs of
the term time after school club for senior children

Organ -
Fees for use of the organ at weddings and funerals used to pay for organ
maintenance
Porch- grants and donations to pay for the building of the interior church porch
Pastoral Centre - grants and donations towards the maintenance of the Pastoral
Centre
Endowment funds 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 other benefit derived
from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions
are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Income
Planned giving, collections and donations are recogni5ed when received or when the
PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured
with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to
which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC
is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with
sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued.
All other income is recognised when it is re￿1Vable. All incoming resources are
accounted for gross.
Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that
award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan
common fund is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission
are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when
it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Governance and Support Costs
Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and
its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff
costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C)
of the Charities Act 2011 .
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust
for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in
the Church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For
anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and
therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of
the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of
these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be
immaterial.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued
initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held
for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they
are measured at cash expected to be received.
Creditors and Accruals
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals
are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date.
