## **7. ACHIEVEMENT & PERFORMANCE & TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT**
2024 has been a year of consolidation and growth. We attribute this partly due to increased appreciation of the church in our area, partly to the continuity of Revd. Martin Poole being in post for fifteen years and partly to the 'staff' team that is now in place consisting of Daniel & Tamara Jackson as 'lay house for duty' community engagement workers, Revd. Buff Stone as Associate Priest and Revd. Tim Edge who has Permission to Officiate in the diocese and has based himself at St. Luke's.
This team meets weekly on Wednesday mornings to discuss the work at the church and to pray together and the meeting concludes with Morning Prayer at 10.30am which is open to all.
Over the year the Sunday morning congregation has grown steadily with the average Sunday attendance increasing by 25%. There has been a big increase in requests for baptisms with a wide variety of ages ranging from 8 months to 80 years old. The twelve-month period beginning in February 2024 saw 16 individuals being baptised, this compares with three in the previous year. We praise God for these encouraging signs of growth and pray that this continues through 2025 and beyond.
Initiatives started in 2023 such as the After School Cooking Club are now bearing fruit in developing and deepening pastoral relationships with children and their families and greater engagement with the regular worship life of the church. The Dementia Arts Support Hub (DASH) has become an important part of church support for those experiencing memory loss and their carers.
Highlights of 2024 included a weekend of activities and worship hosted by the Epiphany music and faith collective, a photographic exhibition and Sunday evening event about refugees entitled 'For A Time' as part of the Artist Open House festival in May, two elections when the church acted as a polling station and greater engagement with Real Junk Food volunteers including a thank you party for them.
During the summer St. Luke's acted as a placement for a priest in training from St. Stephens House in Oxford. Anastasia Riabchuk is a refugee from Ukraine and lived in the vicarage along with her 9-year-old daughter, attending activities at the church and helping to lead and preach, while opening our eyes to the experience of those displaced by war.
We have seen an increase in people attending the Real Junk Food lunches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with a noticeable rise in people experiencing mental health difficulties. To help with this the church organised a day of mental health awareness training in January 2025 which was attended by over 25 volunteers.
Much of the PCC business in the latter half of the year was taken up with planning for the 150th anniversary of the opening of St. Luke's with a programme of events planned for May, June and July and a special focus on 8th June 2025 as the closest date to the actual opening of the church on 11th June 1875.
In October 2024 St. Luke's was accepted onto a scheme run by the Centre for Theology and Community and Citizens UK entitled Organising for Growth. This mentoring project uses community organising techniques to help church congregations grow. At present the vicar is the principal participant in this project and it is expected that this involvement will broaden out during 2025.

The team continues to pursue roles in the wider church beyond the parish with the vicar playing a very active role in General Synod, being on two work groups relating to the Living in Love and Faith project and advising on communication strategy for the Church of England Slavery Reparation fund. He continues to be active as Modern Slavery lead for the Diocese although his role as Chair of Together in Sussex will cease in 2025 as the charity is closing down.
He continues to Chair St. Luke's Advice Service which has grown significantly over the last two years. Revd. Buff Stone is very active as Diocesan Environment Officer and Revd. Tim Edge coordinates retired clergy for the diocese and has become Deputy Co-ordinator of the Independent Custody Visiting Scheme overseeing aspects of Police work in Sussex. Daniel and Tamara Jackson have become indispensable members of the team and their talents in cooking (Dan) and creativity and music (Tamara) are hugely appreciated.
## 8. VISION FOR MISSION 2024/5
The PCC held a vision day early in 2025 to review the 2023 Vision for Mission and develop this. As background here is the progress made on the action points from the 2023 document:
Revamp the website and explore better use of social media Actively develop communications about the values of St. Luke’s Prestonville including a welcome pack for families and visitors and possibly a leaflet drop to the whole parish.
The website was redesigned in early 2025, a one-page family welcome has been produced.
Develop a team of volunteers who can work with children and families. A great team helps to deliver After School Cooking Club and Oasis
Revd. Buff Stone to research and offer appropriate discipleship courses. Revd. Martin Poole to develop quarterly theological discussion events.
This work is ongoing, a small group format (5,4,3+1) was introduced in Lent 2024 and some groups have continued to meet. The theological discussion events have not happened in favour of more creative events such as the 'For A Time' exhibition and some one-off concerts.
Build opportunities for testimony into our Sunday worship and other events where appropriate.
This has been implemented sporadically depending on the theme of the Sunday service.
Develop a pilgrimage initiative to encourage people to walk together either one-to-one or in small groups and to arrange quarterly walking events to places/churches of interest. One pilgrimage walk was organised in late Autumn but was severely affected by bad weather. A pilgrimage event was held at St. Luke's under the auspices of Beyond. More walks are planned for Summer 2025.
Re-introduce a programme of engaging midweek groups with the Sunday worship of the church.
The focus for this is planned as part of the 150th anniversary.

## FINANCIAL REVIEW
The accounts to 31[st ] December 2024 show net assets of £67,169 compared with a corresponding figure of £3,691 in the previous year to 31[st ] December 2023. This is largely due to a significant legacy from the late Barbara Marcan of £50,000. In acknowledgement of her passion that everyone should come to faith in Jesus the PCC have designated £40,000 of this for mission and some of this will be used to fund the 150th anniversary celebrations. We thank God for Barbara's faithfulness to God and commitment to St. Luke's and urge current congregation members to consider including St. Luke's as a beneficiary in their wills.
Regular income in 2024 was £114,760, and this included some successful grant applications and a slight rise in regular giving, resulting in an overall slight increase from £113,372 in 2023.
Expenditure for 2024 was £97,204, a significant decrease from the £113,150 of 2023.
Consequently, the funds carried forward have increased to £67,169 while £40,000 of that is held in reserve, a very healthy financial position in comparison to previous years.
Thanks are due to the staff team for securing £24,852 in grants this year and to the Treasurer, Christine Caton for her oversight of the finances.
## Reserves Policy
The PCC is expected to establish and disclose its policy on reserves. Reserves are defined as that part of the PCC’s income that is freely available. This, therefore, excludes permanent or expendable endowment funds, restricted income funds and any part of unrestricted funds which are not currently available for spending. St Luke’s aims to hold reserves sufficient to maintain cashflows needed to meet all day-to-day operating costs and expenses.
The PCC reviews the cashflow and financial situation of the church at each of its regular meetings.

Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of THE PCC OF ST LUKE'S PRESTONVILLE
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of THE PCC OF ST LUKE'S PRESTONVILLE for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
## Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act'). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

PPage 11age 5
THE PCC OF ST LUKE'S PRESTONVILLE Notes to the Accounts
## Expenditure
Recognition of Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which expenditure cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.
Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
## Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Church equipment 25% Straight line Computer equipment 33.3% Straight line
## Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
## Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
PPage 12age 6
THE PCC OF ST LUKE'S PRESTONVILLE Notes to the Accounts
## Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
## Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
## Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The
corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
## Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
## Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
