PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ALFEGE, GREENCH FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 FinanGial Risks The principal risks and uncertainties faang the charity from a finanaal perspective can bè classffiad as incorne risks and expenditure risks. The responsibility for St Alfege Church, the church hall and other investment prc4)erties drives a need for regular income and a maintenance programmè for tha proparti&s. Fundraising from the general public As with any charity this is a challenge and risk to the finanaal security of St Affege. The gUlar re¥W of th$ congregation Stewardship Scheme prowdes momentum and focus for the maintenance of planned gNing. Campaigns have been quadrennial and in befvleen campaigns, new members are advised about the option to make donations by standing order. The ability for visitors, concert goers and those attending services to donate by cardlcontacuess and via the website is also available. - Fludualions in investments The PCC does not hold securitw outside of agreed funds that are managed by CCLA Investment Managemanl Limrted ICCLAI with 811 investments in ft¢nds that are managed responsibly with due regard for environmental, sooal and g¢wemance stsndards and which target relums in the mediurn lerm in excess of UK inftation.

Operational and Governance Risks Th6 organisational structure of the PCC and sub-committeès prov*Jes a range of trust89$ and voltlnleers who bring experience frthn a range of professional specialisms and different sized organisations. Compliancè with law and regulation The Vicar and Churchwardens act to solicit the advice of qualified, relevant specialists and wofessionals. Investment Policy The Investment Policy contributes to the promotion, in the ecdesiasti¢al parish, of the vthole mission of Ihe Church. pastoral, evangelistic. soc4al and ecumenical. It facilitates the maintenance of Sl. Alfege Church, the church hall and other ¢hurch properties, as well as re5ponsibililies for paid 3tsff, by ensuring that a steady and wular flow of funds i¥ availatO to the PCC. The PCC intends lo hold the four inv8slmenl properti forthe foSee3b18 lUtU as ino)me generating assets. The pcthlios of securities held pay dividends wrthout deduction of tax and this income is an important element of the PCC budget. The PCC ¢Joes not hokl securities outside ol agreed funds that are managed by CCLA wrth all investments in funds that are managed responsibly with due regard for environmental, soerdl and govemarKe standards and which target returns in the medium term in excess of UK inflation. The PCC undertook a Teview of the investment held during 2024 with regard to sustainability {ethical invèstments) and suitability {income vs groth and risk) and rt resolved to move all to The Church ol England Investment Fund which is actively managed and invests in several 'assel dasses, induding equities. fixed interest securrties. private equity, property and cash.

Details of changes in the undertying assets ol this charity can be found in the notes to the financial stalernents. Reserves Policy The PCC'S reserves policy was reviewed during 2025. The designation of the investment properties and most of the PCC'S equty holdings, totalling £5.3rn as at 31st December 202512024.. £5.3ml. makes dear to readers of the financial statements that the PCC intends these assets to be reserved to produce an income that wll continue lo support the church and that they are not to be used for other purposes. During the course of the year undei rèview the reserves have proven satisfactory lo meet the policy previously sel, and therefore the PCC members decided lo make no change.
