FOREWORD
In a challenging environment socially. politically, economically,
at a time of climate emergency and a hugely challenging time
for the national church institution as a whole, St James's has
taken time 2019-22 to formulate a reinvigorated plan for its
direction in this perplexing time. The PCC members, the
trustees. working with consultants. have taken the step of
contributing to the future wellbeing of society by setting a
direction that attempts to draw the boundaries around what is
'church' even more inclusively and broadly. This builds on the
decades-long reputation that St James's has for open-hearted
and open-minded activities. gatherings and projects. The core
of St James's life is its historic vocation to gather people for
Christian worship and prayer. and care for the parish. But equally Reverend LUCY Winkett
direction,
is the invitation to people of all faiths and none to gather and explore life's meaning,
whether that is at a Christian act ofworship or not. The significant surplus made in 2021
was invested by trustees in 2022 in a new Senior ManagementTeam ISMTI, tasked with
the formation of a strategy, the crafting of objectives and the professionalisation of a
monitoring and assessment process that could stsrt to deliver this vision, while planning
too for The Wren Project. The Wren Project is a £20m transformation and rejuvenation
project. restoring the Wren church and re landscaping the garden, adapting other
buildings. Phase 2 ofthe Wren Project is a campaign to raise £10m in endowment.
2022 has been a year of learning, capacity building and experimentstion in terms of
reaching new audiences, re-gathering church congregations after the pandemic, and
planning forthe restoration and rejuvenation ofthe site in the Wren Project,. For PCC
members (trustees) 2022 has been an exciting journey in terms of putting togetherthe
three years strategy, bringing the vision to life. But it has not been an easy year either, as
implementation ofthis direction has meant change to trustee agendas and patterns of
meetings. the delegation to a professional SMT of the execLrtive function and has brought
the significant challenge of income generation to the fore.
In this volatile environment in society generally and at a time of change forthe church the
PCC was especially satisfied to see thatthe 2022 budget was exceeded, assurin9, over 24
months, a breakeven situation afterthe surplus investment of 2021.
The a55urance of an integrated 3-year strategy has also given Shape to the agility needed
by trustee5 and 5tsff, given the uncertainty ofthe timing of The Wren Projert. New
obligations are a150 placed on the PCC through the Protect Duty and Martyn's Law
regarding the oversight of a central London site open to the public seven days a week.
Maintaining the balance needed in governance between planning, assurance and
handling the volatility of current circumstances, both external and internal, has demanded
a lot oftime, energy and commitment from trustees and senior management. But in
managing risk, which is being done prudently and clearly with an independentAudit

Committee and revised risk register, it is clear the greater risk to the church's core mission
is not being bold in this way.
The PCC, the elected council ofthe church, in partnership with the Rector and clergy
team, remain bold and visionary, committed to shaping church life, both for those who
feel comfortable in a Church of England sethng. but especially, with their attention
focussed on those who do not. St James's will continue to move forward, in its day-to-day
open-door policy, the maintenance of its historic building. Site and garden seven days a
week, in its experimental cultural programming and daily rhythm of prayer, in its
development strategy and engagement with its neighbours and in its feeding and
clothing of all who come in need. The next three years ofthe new strategy are in front of
us, and the PCC view this time with hope, realistic understanding of the challenges, and
determination to remain OU￿ard-l00kIng. One new programme that encapsulates the
attempt to bring all of this together is the proposed St James's Changemaker Programme.
Dependent on funding this programme, linked to the development ofthe Wren Project.
invites young people to imagine the world to be different and will form a community of
youn9 changemakers across five disciplines in society, rooted in the values and vision of
St James's Piccadilly. This is Still in development but is an indication of St James's
approach to the challenges and changes that lie ahead in a post Covid 19 central London
(still recovering economically), handling climate emergency and a cost-of-livin9 crisis and,
at the time of writing, war in Europe. A former Rector of St James's (William Temple,
rector 1914-18) said that church is the only institution in society that exists for the benefit
ofthose who do not belong to it. This is the outward looking approach that guides St
James's mission today.

Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The
PCC operate5 underthe Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956.
During 2022 the PCC consisted of nine elerted members in accordance with Church of
England representation rules tO9ether with four Deanery Synod representatives,
Churchwardens, and clergy.

OBJEcfivES AND ACTNMES
The aim, purpose and vocation of every Church of England parish is primarily to promote
the mission ofthe church by serving every person within the historic parish boundary,

The Church of England nationally has developed 'Five Marks of Mission.. These are:
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom

The vision developed through 2022 is encapsulated in the statement'Rooted in God's
earth, we envision a just society and a creative, open-hearted church,. The ambition set by
the Church Council is 'A larger, more inclusive, imaginative and influential SJP community
in a transformed site by 2026.. The values of St James's have been identified as
Contemplation, Action. Adventure, Courage and Kindness.
Directly related to the support and delivery of the Church of England's Five Marks of
Mission, the church's activity is delineated into five missions of its own, outlined below, frt
for the context of St James's Piccadilly. In addition to the core activity of holding religious
services, these purposes are distinctive, focussed on people of all faiths and none (not just
practising Christians), on environmental work, social impact projects and an innovative
creative programme.
In 2022, SJP'5 PCC developed and launched an ambitious new strategy to fulfil its
purpose and provide increased public benefit, over a challenging 3-year horizon.
Direction was determined by careful analysis of likely environmental conditions and the
increased unmet public need they might produce.
Prominent amongst the challenges identified and activities undertaken were..
Declining UK socio-economicconditions in the wake of BREXIT, COVID, Rising Inflation
and the Energy Crisis were assessed as likely to increase the number of people falling
into poverty, homelessness, depression and crime.
Support from the wider Charity & Public sectors was assessed likely to be under
significantly increased strain and therefore unlikely to fully address this challen9e,
resulting in more unmet public need.
As has been stated previously, SJP'S Charitable Purpose is to promote the whole
mission ofthe Church of England ICofEI. from within our parish. To meet the third
and fourth marks ofthat mission (to respond to human need by loving service, and to
transform unjust strurtures of society, to challen9e violence of every kind and pursue
peace and reconciliation), the PCC identified four aims for Public Benefit..
Increase SJP'S capabilty to deliver high quality hotfood to more members of the
public experiencing homelessnesslfood poverty through SJP'S twice-weekly Food
Outreach programmes.
Develop a drop-in Wardrobe programrne to provide high quality donated clothing to
rnembers ofthe public experiencing homele5snes5 arid/or poverty.
Maintain the on_site Caravan counselling service, providing a free drop-in mental
health setvice to the public over a period of increased anxiety. This service, delivered
by final year trainee counsellors as part of their qualification, also supports capacity
building in public mental health 5ervice5.

Alongside these challenging socio-economic conditions. there remained a
continuous decline in faith and church attendance in the UK. With only 1% of UK 18-
24-year-olds identifying themselves Wlth Anglican Christianity, this trend lif left
uncorrectedl. painted a bleak future for CofE's first and second marks of mission (to
proclaim the Good News ofthe Kingdom, and to teach, baptise and nurture new
believers). In a challenging time. the sources of comfort and messages of hope that
the church has traditionally provided were increasingly failing to
engagelinspirelbenefrtthe public. The reasons behind this decline are complex but,
three areas of opportunityto partially address it stood out from SJP'S analysis-, that the
church remained valued by the public for its social impact projects and environmental
stance, that young people were more likely to engage with the church through
cultural activities. and that promoting more clearly the modern church's values
alongside its beliefs lin particular, providing opportunities to explore and champion
shared values together regardless of faith. through face to face activities, advocacy
and increasingly online broadcasting), was necessary forthe public to more clearly
identify what the church stood for and to benefrtfrom becoming a part of its
extended community.
To meetthe third. fourth and fifth marks of mission, the PCC identified broad
aims for Public Benefit from its assessment:
To further diversify and extend (beyond a congregation-centred model}, its volunteer
pool,. enabling a wider community of all faiths and none to come together to support
social and earth justice initiatives in alignment with the church's values (but not
necessarily its beliefs). This
enabled more members ofthe
public to benefit from -giving
something back- to society in an
inclusive way by volunteering to
support activities such as FEAST,
Sunday Breakfast & Wardrobe
Ifood outreach and social impact
initiatives in support of our
homeless andlor impoverished

relationships across the parish of St James's with the aim of nurturing and engaging
partners tQ SUPPOrt the day-to-day life of St James's, this alongside those identified to

from that service, for some in
thi5 community, a journey of
faith and closer engagement
with the church came. 2022
started with working to
communicate our message in
different ways, aimed at our
parish and neighbours: first
through an 'ln-Conversation'
series with the BBC presenter
Huw Edwards as host.
St James's Church
Piccadilly
Local celebrities such as Stephen Fry, Hugh Bonneville and Emerald Fennell, all took
part and helped share the mission of St James's and the importance ofthe outreach
work in the community- The Friends of St James's wa5 created, aimed at individuals,
not necessarily part ofthe Sunday congregation, to enable them to support our
community outreach on a monthly basis and the Corporate Friends of St James's was
created alongside. We saw a 50% increase across the year in our Friends of St
James's and welcomed seven founder Corporate Friend5, all making possible the
ongoing Outreach work. We were also able to secure several grant5 to support St
Jame5'5 mission including the A2iz Foundation and Mosawi Foundation. We were
also thrilled to have in-kind support that sees, for example, a quarterly delivery of
produce to help with 'Feast'. our weekly meal with people going through
homele55ness or on low incomes.
To support The Wren Project, a Series of dinners was
created for 20 people each time, with a view to
forging longer lasting relationships that become part
ofthe wider support network ofthe church. From
these engagements, StJames's received pledges of
funds and also introdudions to other local networks
and in-kind support.

took the words of William Blake To See a World in a Grain of Sand., with music
composed by Sarah McDonald. With this piece, we have now begun a journey that
each year will see a new music commission proclaiming the good news ofthe gospel
each Christmas. Over 200 people gathered forthe post event reception held atthe
RAA. for which we are the Parish Church. All went away ready for 2023 with a bottle
in hand ofthe new St James's 1684 Gin, each helping us raise a little more to keep the
work of St James's alive and well.

4. Sustaining this work for the public benefit a150 required the PCC to better utilise the
income generation potential of its church site in Piccadilly, in a mission-ali9ned way.
To sustain artivitie5 for the Public Benefit, in a way that met the third and fourth marks
of mission, the PCC directed a specific change to its 51ttrbased income scheme=
Supporting a partnership with a profitfor purpose provider{Redemption Roasters) to
improve offender rehabilitation. The latter train prison residents and people at risk of
crime with the skills they need to gain secure and meaningful employment.
The long-standing Courtyard Food Market (operated by Foodish Ltd.), expanded its
operation from I￿0 to four days per week as the country emerged from Pandemic in
2022, helping to further boost on-site income generation.

In setting the objettive5 and activities of the Charty, the Trustees have had due regard for
the guidance issued by the Charty Commission in respect of public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTSAND PERFORMANCE
St James's Church, coutyard and garden are open seven days a week from 8am until late
most days. The staffing of such a public site in the centre of London requires significant
resource in itself, in orderto provide a well maintained, safe site for all who come. The
public benefit of having a Grade I listed heritage asset freely accessible, at no charge, to
visitors, providing access to world famous architecture, carvings, art, public space to rest
and well-maintained green space 15 clear. In addition. a weekly programme of mu51C
recita15, free to the public, is offered, alongside daily services of prayer and reflection.
The Caravan counselling project located in the garden offers free listening on a drop-in

identified and opened.

that.
SJP now supports a 51% to 22% reduction in reoffending rates through its café
partnership with Redemption Roasters
New Cultural Programm•
With the surplus from 2021, the PCC invested in a new cultural programme for 2022, as
part of the Strategic direction, with the objective of reaching new audiences, and inviting
more diverse communities to engage with the life of St James's. The ambition is to grow a
more inclusive, diverse, imaginative and influential SJP community by addressing life's big
questions through art, music, and gatherings of different kinds. The vocation of St
James's as a central London church, to raise deeper questions and convene diverse
gatherings has driven this investment, founded in the belief rooted in Christian theology,
that creativity is in itself a language of the human spirit. The cultural programme's
purpose is to be a 'provocateur for good., finding partners. individual practitioners,
performers and allied organisations to curate programmes that invite people who may
think that church is mt forthem.
2022 has seen the recruiting a new creative team, the testing of a new operating model
and assembling building blocks to build audience reach and increase impact. We have
seen over 250 concerts and events over the pastyear, ranging from lunchtime recitals
providing a key plarform for graduating musicians, to Talvin Singh OBE headlini ng our
new annual 'Embark' festival
which highlighted themes of
migration. journeying and the
crossing ofthresholds and
coinciding with the 75th
anniversary ofthe partition of
India and the creation of
Pakistan. We hosted artists
in residence. The first was Iman
Tajik who is based in Glasgow
but originally from Iran, and who
is himself a refugee and former
asylum seeker. Iman created a
new installation Radical Welcome as part of the Embark Festival, adopting an expression
he took from conversations and the St James's webslte. The second was Jesse Darling,
who undertook a new installation Miserere to coincide with the Frieze Art Fair. Darling,
perhaps the most prominent UK artist who identifies as trans created an ambitious new
multi-media installation in the church, which led to an article and review in The Tablet.
Both Embark and Jesse Darling's projert5 were accompanied by panel discussions
welcoming congregation as well as those of all faiths or none to expand upon the themes
and meanings ofthe programming, in particular what it means to do these at a church.

Both creative programme and congregational life have been enhanced by the
recruitment of a Head of Communications and Audience Development in orderto
produce and lead on a plan for building new audiences across all areas ofthe church's
work. This has led to a near doubling of both our congregational and arts mailing lists as
well as greater brand and communications coherence and strategy. Our newsletters are
published weekly for congregation and monthly for arts and reach 5,000 people with a
regular open rate of almost 70%.
The period has been particularly geared toward5 laying foundations, testing new models
and learning. The programme started out wtth substantial income generation targets,
which proved to be a step too far, and the economic challenge5 ofthis programme
remain. However. the
programme can be said to
have achieved. in a shorttime,
thoughtful and informed
curation as well as attaining
wider impact. both through
visitor and artist feedback as
well as through social media.
The programmes have
reached new. younger and
more diverse audiences and
have connected directly with
bi9 questions and theme5 core
to the life of the church.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Despite the challenging funding environment, SJP has exceeded the 2022 deficit budget
improving the projected deficit of £283,322 to a re5uFt deficit of £247.801 thanks to the
new three-year strategy of being a more focussed and streamlined organisation investing
part ofthe reserves in programs more aligned to our mission combined with continued
efforts in savings on overhead5 costs.
Further information regarding the make-up of income and expenditure for 2022 and of
the reserves held as 31 December 2022 are given below.
Income
Total unrestricted fund income wa5 £998,512 of which £385,159 was unrestricted planned
and voluntary donations, and a further £31,354 was from Gift Aid. Unrestricted but
designated donations came to £63,679, the majority of which were to finance the FEAST
program.
Unrestricted fund income was 1.6% higherthan 2021 and 8.23% above the budget, but
the total income. including restricted fund, decreased 6.82% £83,378 compared with the
previous year.

The major unrestricted income streams for 2022 was planned and voluntary donations
including Gift Aid, which accounted for 42% and use of the premises with 48% of the totsl
unrestrirted income.
As the future external funding is focussed on raise funds for The Wren Project, we have
evolved the income generation strategy, including the plan for establishing a trading
subsidiary, as part of effort5 to ensure SJP financial resilience.
Exp•nditur•
£1,459,324 was spent from unrestricted funds, with the running costs of St James's being
a significant portion of the total spent. It is to be noted that the higher expenditure
amount5 are a result of delivering activities reduced in 2021 because ofthe pandemic, the
investment in new skilled staff and the launch of2023-2025 strategy. St James's original
offertowards the Diocesan Common Fund was £108,000 in 2020 Icompared to £104,000
in 20191, but in light of the impact of Covid-19 on St James's Pinances, this was
subsequently revised to £85,200 in 2021 and kept the same amount for 2022, which was
paid in full. All expenses are scrutinised and kept as low as possible, in line with the
church's system of budgetary control.
Investments

RESERVES POUCY
The PCC has approved a policy of maintsining unrestrided general reserves at the level
needed to cover at least four months of general fund expenditure on church activities,
which equates to approximately £335,000. On 31 December 2022, general fund reserves
were £337,369 and free reseNes as defined by the Charity Commission amounted to
£243,350. The level of unrestricted reserve5 15 also reviewed against the risks to budgeted
net unrestricted general income in the annual budget. The PCC will continue during 2023
to make efforts to keep free reserves in line with the ststed policy.
Surpluses are set aside for specific purposes. either into restrirted funds as declared by a
donor or resulting from the terms of an appeal. or into designated funds as determined
by the PCC to be used for a particularfuture project or commitment The purpose of
holding the remainder of funds in the unrestricted general fund is to enable the church to
cope with fluctuations in its cash flow and to provide a fund of money in case its income
drop5 unexpectedly.
During 2022, the church received income from its services, charitsble activities, and the
use of its premises for letting out, a food market and from concerts and events. There are
expenses already in the budget relating to these activtties and the net income is tsken into
the general fund.
In 2022 St James's generated a general fund deficit of £247,801. On 31 December 2022,
general fund reserves were £337,36912021 £585,170), meeting our reserves target.
Restricted reseryes were-£504 on 31 December 2022 (2021- £411.5071.
Designated reseryes were £343,120 on 31 December 202212021- £558,078)
Restricted fund5 reserves closing balance was negative, due to the Church Renovation
Fund account (The Wren Project)-£79,430. Expenses were needed to carry out and finish
the design & planning stage. Finally, this application was submitted to the Westminster
City Council on 03 August 2022. The decision on the application wa5 delayed, and some
pledges were linked to the outcome. The WCC granted the application in full on 7
February 2023. The SMT decided to bring forward the negative balance as the first
pledge were received a few days after in February 2023 enough to cover and clearthe
balance.

AUDIT COMMrrrEE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The PCC has an Audit Committee to advise the PCC on the adequacy and effectiveness of
systems offinancial control and arrangements for risk management, governance and
audit. The Audit Committee also ordinarily reviews the contents ofthe Risk Register,
although notin9 that measure5 are in place to mitigate many ongoing operational risks,
the Committee focused its attention during 2022 primarily on new and emerging risks
and changes to existing risks emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The PCC. which has the ultimate responsibility for managing any risks faced by the church,
has given consideration, under advice from the Audit Committee to the major risks to
which it is exposed and has concluded that adequate system5 are in place to manage
these risks. It is recognised that systems can provide only reasonable but not absolute
assurance that major risks have been managed.
The trustees have a risk management strategy comprising of an annual review of the
principal risks and uncertainties that the church faces, the establishment of policie5,
systems and procedures to mitigate those risk5, and the implementation of procedures
designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the church should these risks
materialise.
Risks
From its environmental analysis, the PCC identified 3 key strategic risks and committed
resources to mitigating these as Outlined=
Rlsks to Fundraislng
Growing unmet need. coupled with more straitened economic circumstsnce5, had
created a more challengin9 environment for charitable fundraising. Donors had les5
disposable income and. in the wake ofthe pandemic. a larger number of causes
competing for a share of It.
The risk to the church was assessed to be tha( in this situation, it could fail to raise the
funds needed to commence The Wren Project in a timely way, and to sufficiently
sustain its missional activities without further drawing on its reserves.
To mitigate against this, the PCC invested in an expanded, professional Fundraising &
Development Team, and agreed a five-year Fundraising Strategy.
Risks to Other Income Generatlon
A slow post-pandemic recovery in West End foorfall as well as the general economy
was assessed highly likely. This would have a significant. prolon9ed financial impact
on the hospitality and cultural sectors.
As a significant portion ofthe church's forecast income came from food and beverage
(café, courtyard food marketl and its Creative Programme (curated concerts,
exhibitions, festivals), this presented a significant risk to financial sustainability.
17

St James's Chur<h. Plcc•dllly
Parochial Church Councll
Afftnual R•portlorth• yw •nd•d 31 D•c•fflb•r 2022
To mitigate these risks the PCC directed a balanced programme of cultural events
(some in low risk and others higher risk in terms ofticket income), the expansion of
the low-risk courtyard food market to four days a week to increase foorfall capture,
and application for a site alcohol licence to enable the church to run a bar at cultural
events. in order to boost peripheral income.
Risks to Congregatlonal Grovrth
Analysis ofthe British Social Attitudes Survey and CofE data showed the continued
decline of church attendance in the UK. in particular amongst young people.
The risk to the church was assessed to be that, ifthis trend continued, it would cease
to become relevant and fall into decline over a period ofdecades.
To mitl9ate this risk the PCC directed a positive and decisive approach to
communicating its me55age through engaging liturgical and cultural programming.
launched a transformational three-year strategy and invested its 2021 financial
surplus in building the capacity and expertise required to deliver it.
The trustees believe these actions provide sufPicient eaAy warning systems, and the
requisite controls and procedures in the event of adverse condition5.

Building on significant previous stskeholder engagement, and in consultation with The
Curiosity Society and the newly formed SMT, the PCC sought to define its longer-term
ambition for the church and determine the purpose-aligned challenges it would
undertake for the public good. Through a series of workshops. facilitated by the SMT, an
authoritative Strategy Framework for 2023126 was developed as illustrated above.
Delivery ofthis strategy was organised into five Strategic Programmes, each containing
cohesive group of objectives from the Strategy Framework. Each Strategic Delivery
Programme would be championed by a PCC mernber, managed by an SMT mefflber and
prioritised in time and resource terms as illustrated below-

The final stage ofthis work was to produce a 8usine5s Plan and Budget for 2023 which
would not only deliver against the new strategy but also maintain baseline activities
during a period of significanttransformation and change. This was approved by the PCC
in December.

22

INDEPENDENT AUDrroRS' REpoKf TO THE MEMBERS OF ST JAMES'S PICCADILLY PAROCHIAL
CHURCH COUNaL
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
as a whole are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue
an Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will
Iways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial 5tstements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulations.
We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our
procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
Based on our understanding of the charity and sector, we identified thatthe principal risks
of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to sector regulations and unethical
and prohibited business prartices, and we considered the extentto which non-compliance
might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and
regulation5 that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as
the Charities Act 2011, Charity Commission and sector regulations, and UKTax Legislation.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of
the financial statements lincluding the risk of override of controls). Appropriate audit
procedures in response to these risks were carried. These procedures included..
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected
instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud-
Reading fflinutes of meetings ofthose charged with governance;
Obtaining and reading correspondence from legal and regulatory bodies including
HMRC;
Identifying and testing journal entries,.
Challen9in9 assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant
accounting estimates.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to
all engagement team members,. and remained alert to any indications of fraud or
non-compliance with laws and regulations throughoutthe audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further
removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements. the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the
risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for
example, forgery or intentional misrepresentstions, orthrough collusion.
A further description of our responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements is
located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:

Vll. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000 and
recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value ofthe
asset can be measured feliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost
model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its
intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Fixtures, fittings, and equipment are depreciated in equal annual instalments over a
period offour{41 years. exceptforthe AV system and Solar PV system which useful life is
ten1101 years. Items of a capital nature are reviewed for their purpose and are capitalised
where they are considered to provide an ongoing use to the PCC.
The rector and churchwarden5 hold on special trust for the PCC silver and plate gifted to
the Church for ecclesiastical use. They date from the 17th century and therefore, there is
insufFicient cost information available. Due to the unique nature of these assets and their
historic association with worship at the church over hundreds of years. conventional
valuation techniques are not applicable and therefore they have not been valued in the
financial statements. The valuables. silver and plate. over 50 individual items in total. are
listed in the church's inventory and are regarded by law as inalienable assets for which the
PCC would require a faculty for disposal. There have been no additions or disposals from
the collertion during the year. Most of the items are kept in secure locatior15 including a
museum, and the totsl value for insurance purposes is now £725,500.
Investments

Ix.
Debtors
Amounts owing to the PCC on 31st December in respect offees, rents or other income
are shown as debtors less provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectable. These
are recognised initially at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount
prepaid, net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and Cash equlvalents
Cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits comprise cash and short-term highly
liquid investments held with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, building societies
nd bank5, maturing within three month5 or less from the opening of the deposit or
similar account.

recognised at the amount that the PCC anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payment forthe goods or services it must provide.

instruments. All (including debtors and creditors) are initially recognised at transaction
value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

9LL. A description of the nature of the chartys operations and its principal activities can
be found in The Annual Report of the PCC.
Crltlcal accounting estimates and areas of Judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical
experience and other factors, including expectstions of future events that are believed to
be reasonable under the Circumstan￿5.
The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting
accounting estimate5 and assumptions will. by definition, seldom equal the related actual
results.
Nojudgements lapart from those accounting estimates) have been made in the process
of applying the above accounting policies.
No key assumptions concerning the future and key sources of estimated uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year have been identified.
