The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024.

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. A training curate has joined us. Life Groups have continued and been well attended and we have run an Alpha course. We ran our second 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. An exciting new venture was started - a new half an hour Sunday service for families with young children which has been successful in attracting young families to church.

Some major refurbishments have taken place this year. The guttering at St Nicholas was all replaced, new accessible glass front door was installed and the inner lobby door re-furbished and the sound system replaced.

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 108

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 35 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. We run a dementia friendly choir attended by older people.

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. 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.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2024

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.

Corfe Mullen Foodbank continues to operate from St Nicholas and this year supported over 1300 people and gave out over 60 Christmas Hampers to families during December.

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 £101,237, (2023: £109,497).

In addition, the PCC received grants of £29,670 (2023: £22,845). Legacy income was £2,000 (2023: £11,000). Gift aid received was £3,277 for the year (2023: £3,544).

Income from charitable activities was £16,718 for the year (2023: £8,478) and income from room hire was £59,812 (2023: £55,549), an increase of 8% on the previous year.

Total expenditure in the year increased from £206,065 in 2023 to £228,966, an increase of 11% from the previous year. Charitable expenses contributed to most of the expenditure in the year, being £133,279 for the year (2023: £132,420).

The PCC as a whole made a surplus in the year of £5,471 (2023: surplus of £21,575). The main Church fund and other designated funds were in surplus to the amount of £49,959 (2023: surplus £12,034).

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 narrow 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.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Corfe Mullen

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2024

The total income from the parish in giving and donations (i.e., not including the income received by the St Nicholas Centre) for 2024 was £86,107 (2023: £73,796) which is an increase from the previous year of £12,311. 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 £90,770 (2023: £94,030) which is £3,260 less than the previous year. This means that the parish expenses exceeded the income by £4,663.

The total income from the St Nicholas Centre was £60,570 (2023: £57,417) which is an increase from the previous year of £3,153 which, again, is encouraging. Expenses incurred from the running of the Centre was £33,842 (2023: £26,436) which is an increase from the previous year of £7,406. This means Centre income from room hire exceeded the expenses of running the Centre by £26,727.

Therefore, taking both parish and Centre operations together, the total income for this year was £146,677 (2023: £131,213) which is an increase on the previous year by £15,464 while total expenses were £124,613 (2023: £120,466) which is £4,147 more than the previous year. Overall, this left a positive position of £22,064.

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 with the installation of a new sound system. This was funded mainly through our Jubilee fund. In previous years we have made major upgrades from grant and legacy income. Without the legacies we wouldn't have been able to do these large one-off upgrades.

Reserves policy

The PCC aims 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.
