OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

When planning our activities for the year, the clergy and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance for charities for the advancement of faith.

In particular we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

To facilitate this work it is important we maintain the fabric of St Hubert Church and St Nicholas Church Centre. We have a Vision Statement to guide us and help and guide our action:

Growing Together: Towards God, Each Other and Community

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

This year has been an encouraging year with growing attendance at our church services and growth in the use and variety of activities in our Church centre. Two new Lay Ministers have been licensed, Life Groups have continued and been well attended and we have run an Alpha course. We ran our first Women's conference which attracted Christian women from the area of all ages who found the day an encouragement and help in their faith journey.

Having installed solar PV panels at the end of last year, this year we have reaped the benefit of them, reducing our carbon footprint and electrical expenses in addition to generating income by selling excess electricity back to the grid.

Safeguarding is taken seriously and is the responsibility of the whole church. We currently use the Salisbury Diocese safeguarding Microsite and the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard. These help us comply with the latest Safeguarding requirements. Safeguarding is on every PCC agenda.

The electoral role this year was 107

Deanery and Diocesan Synod

Two members of the elected PCC sit on the Wimborne deanery Synod and the Rector is also on the Diocesan Synod, thus providing a link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.

Pastoral care

During the year our pastoral team have continued support those who need and request support in the parish. Home communion has been taken to those who request it.

Our volunteers provided a Community Lunch once a week and this has been attended by about 40 people each week. We have also run a community café on a Saturday morning. Both these activities are open to all seeking to find community and friendship. This year we have also participated in the Warm Spaces initiative again - providing a warm space twice a week that people can drop into.

Our small bereavement group has seen new people coming along both for shorter and longer periods for support.

Mission and outreach

A part time Children and Families Lead enables us to support local families by leading and equipping a group of volunteers for this work. This includes a parent and toddler group, an outdoors, monthly church for families and work in two of our local schools. Activities in school holidays have included an Easter Craft Fair and a successful Holiday Cub which ran during the mornings of the first week of the summer school holidays with a hot lunch served at the end of the morning. 54 children participated. At Christmas we engaged the Saltmine Theatre Company to put on a Christmas Show for local families which was very much appreciated by the community.

In partnership with our local funeral director we provided an opportunity for those in the surrounding areas to come together and remember the loved ones of those who have died during this year, with an act of remembering and service and tea.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2023

Corfe Mullen Foodbank continues to operate from St Nicholas and this year celebrated it's 10th anniversary giving 347 foodbags supporting 759 adults and 747 children (in total 1506 people).

Community

Many local groups and clubs continue to hire space in the St Nicholas Centre which provides a good community facility to host a wide range of activities. We also provide a dedicated space for a full time day nursery. We support wider community activities such as 'Win on waste' and community litter pickers who use the building monthly. Our premises and facilities are well used for local concerts including our ancient church St Hubert.

Our Rector is a trustee of Prama Life and Lewis Manning Hospice Care. As a church we support three charities: homeless charity Route to Roots, the Bible Society and the Sudan Medical Link.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Donations and planned giving income (including Gift Aid) for the church this year was £109,497, (2022: £80,290) an increase of 36%, which was encouraging to see.

In addition, the PCC received grants of £22,845 (2022: £37,424). Legacy income was £11,000 (2022: £100). Gift aid received was £3,544 for the year (2022: £4,942).

Income from charitable activities was £8,478 for the year (2022: £10,479) and income from room hire was £55,549 (2022: £50,078), an increase of 11% on the previous year.

Total expenditure in the year decreased from £239,984 in 2022 to £206,065, a decrease of 11% from the previous year. Charitable expenses contributed to most of the expenditure in the year, being £132,420 for the year (2022: £182,709). The higher expenditure figure for 2022 was due largely to maintenance costs of £101,239 for the previous year.

The PCC as a whole made a surplus in the year of £21,575 (2022: deficit of £48,924). The main Church fund and other designated funds were in surplus to the amount of £12,034 (2022: £13,012).

The PCC has agreed that we should work towards the aim of the churches being financially self-reliant for day-to-day expenditure and not be reliant on room-hire income from the church Centre for this. This would then enable income generated from the Centre to be put towards investing in the ongoing upkeep of our church buildings as well as expanding our mission and ministry. In working towards this goal, the good news is that we have continued to narrowed the gap between the church's expenses and income this year and last when compared to previous years.

The churches

This section of the report focuses specifically on our main sources of income, namely that received from the regular giving of congregation members plus the income from rents from the use of the St Nicholas centre by all the various groups that use the facility through the year.

The financial statements comprise many funds which are grouped according to their general purpose. They are categorised as follows:

We will not be concerning ourselves with the restricted funds in this section.

It should be noted, there is a distinction between the funds for St Nicholas, St Hubert's and the Church fund. As stated above, the Church fund deals primarily with the day to day running of the parish. The St Nicholas fund deals mainly with income received from room hire and its associated costs, while the St Hubert's fund deals mainly with income generated by the letting out of the building and its surrounding grounds, as well as its associated costs.

Page 4

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Corfe Mullen

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2023

The total income from the parish in giving and donations (i.e., not including the income received by the St Nicholas Centre) for 2023 was £73,796 (2022: £68,773) which is an increase from the previous year of £5,023. This is encouraging and is a reflection of the growing numbers in our congregations and of course the generosity of the church family. However, expenses for the running of the parish during the year was £94,030 (2022: £82,045) which is £11,985 more than the previous year. This means that the parish expenses exceeded the income by £20,234.

The total income from the St Nicholas Centre was £57,417 (2022: £51,758) which is an increase from the previous year of £5,659 which, again, is encouraging. Expenses incurred from the running of the Centre was £26,436 (2022: £24,547) which is an increase from the previous year of £1,889. This means Centre income from room hire exceeded the expenses of running the Centre by £30,981.

Therefore, taking both parish and Centre operations together, the total income for this year was £131,213 (2022: £120,531) which is an increase on the previous year by £10,682 while total expenses were £120,466 (2022: £106,592) which is £13,874 more than the previous year. Overall, this left a positive position of £10,747, however it must be remembered that half the salary of the Worship Leader and the full salary of the Children and Families Worker are paid from grants and legacies and eventually these monies will run out. If we include the full salary of the Worship Leader and the Children and Families Worker in our overall income and outgoings figure then in fact we have a deficit of £8,318. This therefore gives an indication of how much income has to increase if we wanted over the long term to retain these posts.

Looking ahead, the PCC agreed that as far as possible we should aim that the giving and donation income from the parish should balance its own running costs so we are not so reliant on the room hire income from the St Nicholas Centre. This is to enable any surplus generated by the Centre to be invested in the ongoing upkeep and renovation of our church buildings as well as the wider mission and ministry of our churches.

There has been an increase in the amount given through planned giving and the Parish Giving Scheme and less is being received through envelopes and personal donations. This indicates that more people have decided to use the planned giving scheme as a way of giving to the church which is both helpful and beneficial to us in managing our finances.

Wages and salaries, utilities and share payment remain the key expenditure items for the parish which have all increased this year. All salary costs are included in the summary figures above, apart from the Worship Leader and the Children and Families Worker as the salary of the Children and Families Worker and half the salary of the Worship Leader is coming out of the Wilmore Fund and the other half from a legacy.

We have also had some major upgrades to the St Nicholas building. New doors have been installed at the entrance to the building to improve accessibility and the guttering has been replaced which was leaking. These have been funded in part by grant and legacy income. Without the legacies we wouldn't have been able to do these large one-off upgrades.

In closing

Looking further ahead, the PCC agreed that the primary use of remaining legacy funds (and indeed any future legacy income) is to further the mission and ministry of the church within the local community as well as enabling us to fund major building upgrades, together with any grant income we receive. We are thankful to all who give to our churches and for the generous legacies left to us which we seek to steward wisely.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2023

To this end, over the last year the finance team has invested £303,000 in seven different easy access and long-term investment accounts to ensure careful stewardship and prudent management of our funds to achieve interest from our investments.

Once again, we are encouraged by the increase in our overall income over the year and very grateful to all who generously give.

Reserves policy

The PCC aim to retain sufficient cash funds within the Church's bank accounts to provide adequate working capital to sustain the day to day operations of the Church. They will also ensure monies are put aside for the upkeep of the buildings and renewal of licences / insurance as required.

FUTURE PLANS

The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Priest in-charge in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The PCC has responsibility for the buildings of St Hubert's Church, a Grade II* listed building on the A31, and St Nicholas Church complex, including the Wilmore Centre, in the main part of the village on the Wareham Road.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Corfe Mullen

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Corfe Mullen (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 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 Trust 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.
