**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF**
**ST. BARNABAS, ERDINGTON**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Barnabas, Erdington is part of Church of England, Birmingham. The correspondence address is St Barnabas Church Centre, High Street, Erdington, Birmingham B23 6SY.
PCC members are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Constitution or Document**
The PCC is governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
## **Recruitment of Trustees**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our Vicar), churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. In addition, ordained clergy who are licensed to the parish (our Curate) are ex officio members of the PCC, as are elected representatives to Deanery Synod (currently Simon Dodson). All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll (providing they meet the eligibility requirements of being baptised and either a regular worshipper and/or live in the Parish) and stand for election to the PCC. Nominations are called and persons voted for, or if there is no competition for places people are approved at an Annual Parish Church Meeting (APCM).
## **Use of volunteers**
The PCC employs a number of staff in the finance, centre management, administration and food service parts of its daily work, but also makes significant use of volunteers to carry out its work.
Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the work and are supervised by leaders accountable to the PCC and receive training including basic safeguarding where needed.
## **Organisational Structure**
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met 8 times during the year. The PCC has the following committees:
Finance & Fabric Committee – The Finance & Fabric committee meets as required to aid financial and building fabric decision making and to provide financial clarity for the PCC.
Community Hub Steering Group – The Community Hub Steering Group meets as required to provide support and direction to deliver the strategy of the Hub in providing a safe place for all people to grow

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
personally, with others in faith, for the people and place of Erdington. They monitor funding and spend.
Safeguarding Group – meets with our parish safeguarding officer approximately every 2 months to monitor work with children and vulnerable adults, offer advice and report on any situations that have needed to be referred to our Diocesan safeguarding team.
Ministry Group – meets approximately every 2 to 3 months to discuss the worshipping life of the church and plan future services and enquirers courses.
Standing Committee - This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. The Standing Committee met 3 times during the year.
## **Risk Management**
The PCC reviews the key risks facing the Church, the controls in place to mitigate them and any action required on an ongoing basis. The PCC continues to review and develop the strategic direction of the church and considers how its exposure to risk changes as a result.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Background**
The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Vicar (Reverend Emma Sykes) in overseeing the spiritual, legal, financial and missionary activities of St Barnabas Erdington Parish Church. The PCC is also responsible with the Church Centre manager and Community Hub manager for maintaining the Community Hub, Anchor Rooms and Light house meeting space.
## **Church vision, mission and values**
## **Vision**
Our vision is to be a beacon of hope on the high street. That hope comes through trusting in God’s faithfulness, sharing God’s love and being inspired by Jesus’ words: “I have come in order that you might have life – life in all it’s fulness” (John 10:10).
## **Mission**
We put that vision into practice by being a worshipping community that creates a safe and welcoming space to all. The high street is busy, vibrant, and diverse and we see life in all its fullness everyday through the range of joys and deep challenges that people face in their lives. Our mission is focused on:
- **Worship** – that is invitational, inclusive, all-age and creative. We want all people to be invited into the richness of a growing relationship with God who brings life in all its fullness.
- **Community** – we serve the needs of our community through our community hub activities that focus on the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’. We have conference rooms available for hire that help to resource our mission and ministry.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **Values**
We live out our vision and mission in the following way:
- **Christ Centred** – we are learning and growing together in our understanding of what it means to be Christ centred in all that we do. Prayer underpins everything we do. Our worship is Eucharistic, reminding us God is with us through Jesus and brings life through the work of the Holy Spirit.
- **Inclusive** - St Barnabas Church is registered with the Inclusive Church network. Everyone is welcome here and we do not discriminate. We seek to remove any social, economic or physical barriers that may prevent anyone from accessing our worship and activities.
- **Collaborative** – we seek to work with others in partnership. We value the gifts of all and believe we can be stronger together. We work with local churches, charities, organisations, local governing bodies and businesses to bring about positive change.
- **Participatory** – God values all and so we believe everyone has a God given gift they can contribute – whether it be skills, passion, knowledge, time or resources. We actively seek out, discover, and celebrate those gifts.
- **Diversity** – we value difference and believe we are richer for it. We seek to reflect our multicultural community in our worship and community activities and in the perspectives represented in our decision making and governing body.
- **Local** – we love Erdington. We believe in it and want the very best for it. We will buy and invest locally where we can.
- **Eco-conscious** – we are concerned about the impact of human activity on the environment and our need to conserve natural resources. We aim to minimise consumption and waste, re-use pre-owned items rather than buying new and recycle wherever we can. We want our church building and churchyard to embody God’s care for creation.
- **Promotes Wellbeing** – we encourage engagement with the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. We practice them ourselves and incorporate them in our work culture.
## **Public Benefit Statement**
The PCC takes its responsibilities as a charity very seriously. The church has always contributed a great deal to the community, even in the years after the devastating fire, and will strive to continue to do so.
The PCC seeks to be as inclusive as possible in its work and strives to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our aim is to involve as many people as possible in both running and participating in events and activities, many of which have the able support of volunteers. The worship, courses and activities are open to anyone within and outside the local community. The Church building and centre spaces are important local resources and are used by various groups and individuals not directly connected to the Church for their own activities and events. The Church and Chapel are used throughout the week as quiet space for some of the most lonely and vulnerable in our community as well as offering places for prayer for many others.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
While many who join us in our gatherings are very generous in their donations to the PCC, there is no requirement for anyone attending services to donate money to the church. Any charges levied for specific activities and events are kept as low as possible to still be viable financially, and the PCC will look to help where people are struggling to afford the cost.
The staff with oversight of the Incumbent and PCC has forged strong links with a range of individuals and organisations. In addition to local giving the PCC reviews regular giving to UK and International charities annually, to promote the Christian faith and to help the vulnerable and needy from all faiths and backgrounds.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **Financial Review**
Total income for the year was £326,925 of which £252,302 were unrestricted. This included planned voluntary donations £37,139, open plate of £8,936, other donations of £5,176 and a further £8,989 was from Gift Aid Income Tax Recoverable. Grants of £61,605 were received from various national and local funders to support mainly our Community Hub activity and church repairs.
Total income increased by £46.8k, a 17% increase compared to 2024, relating to restricted income from grants and unrestricted income of room hire. Total interest and investment income of £92k slightly lower than 2024 giving a returning on investment of 4%. 51.7k Shares were sold in February 2025 delivering proceeds of £63k to support ongoing costs.
£300,890 was spent from the unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St. Barnabas Church, including £68.3k, being the contribution to the diocesan parish share. This largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The Community Hub activity increased in 2025 delivering more activities, eg, Welcome Space, Coffee Mornings, Well Being, Youth Café, Stay and Play, and hosting visits from other organisations to support the local community. In 2025 we successfully secured a significant grant for 3 years from the National Lottery Community Fund to predominately support our Community Hub staffing and overhead costs. £46,553 was spent from the restricted funds. £41,617 to provide Community Hub activities funded through grants received, £3,481 on minor building repairs and £1,455 to support clergy stipends
Our church yard working group continue to meet to increase understanding and engagement with the Christian faith by creating a beautiful and peaceful environment for reflective prayer and contemplation in the churchyard, improving physical, natural and social environment, encouraging environmental sustainability and to restore and preserve the historical heritage of the site. Ongoing maintenance activity is progressing for the upkeep and safety of the church yard.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
The Balance sheet remains strong with a change in the Tangible Fixed Assets of £2.2m of which £1.9m relates to share investments. The investment value suffered a small loss of £7.5k due economic conditions.
Net movement in funds on unrestricted funds was a loss of £57,284. There was a gain on the restricted funds of £9,141 and the designated funds of £24,384. During the year, the total fund balances reduced by £23,759 from £2,373,666 to £2,349,937.
The Machin Restricted funds made zero transfer of funds in 2025 as the Children and Families role was vacant therefore funds remain on investment and deposit for future use to support Children and Families Evangelical costs in line with the Bequest agreement.
## **Reserves Policy**
It is PCC policy to try and maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least 3 months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £90k. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of net current assets at the end of the year was £192.2k. Our funds balance at the end of the year remained strong with Designated – Rebuilding fund of £1,942,528, Restricted funds of £481,680 and Unrestricted Fund showing a loss of £74,271. Further information on funds is broken down in notes 8 to 10.
It is our policy to invest the short-term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund
## _**Trustees' responsibilities statement**_
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. BARNABAS, ERDINGTON**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 25.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF**
**ST. BARNABAS, ERDINGTON**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## a **BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Erdington Parochial Church Council constitutes a public entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statement includes 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.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated
## b **FUND ACCOUNTING**
_Restricted Funds_ comprise (a) income from endowments, which is to be expended only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor, and (b) revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC activity intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on their investment is credited to the individual funds.
_Unrestricted Funds_ are income funds, which are to be spent on the PCC’s general purposes.
_Designated Funds_ are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future.
## c
## **INCOMING RESOURCES**
Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (Continued)**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED**
considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are readily quantifiable. Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Government grants were received during the year. These grants are recongnised at their fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received using the performance/accrual model.
- d **RESOURCES EXPENDED**
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 parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
## e
## **EXPENDITURE RECOGNITION**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities see note 3a and 3b; and
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above see note 3c.
- f **TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Plant and equipment 33% on cost
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF**
**ST. BARNABAS, ERDINGTON**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (Continued)**
## **1 . ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED**
The company has a policy of not providing for depreciation on Freehold property. It is considered that depreciation is immaterial due to both the very long useful economic lives and the high residual value of the assets.
The company has a policy and practice of regular maintenance and repair (charges for which are recognised in the profit and loss account) such that the Freehold property is kept to its previously assessed standard of performance. In addition to this, it is considered that the Freehold property is unlikely to suffer from economic or technological obsolescence.
The company reviews the Freehold property for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and the 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).
## g
## **IMPAIRMENT**
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
## h **INVESTMENTS**
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Current asset investments are short term highly liquid investments and are held at fair value. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year.
## i
## **CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
l **PROVISIONS**
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
m
## **TAX**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
## n
## **GOING CONCERN**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## o
## **EMPLOYEE BENEFITS**
When employees have rendered service to the charity, short term employee benefits to which the employee is entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
