Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st December 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
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:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the Christian faith; growing in living out the faith in their lives;
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish;
-
- Mission and outreach work.
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

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Mission Hub
This year, as part of an initiative called Mission Hub we were asked by the diocese to submit a bid for a full time Outreach Worker. We were successful in our bid, and we now have a full time Community Lead Worker, financed by the diocese. She goes out into the community with the intention of making the local people aware of what we are doing at St Nicholas. Her role includes working collaboratively with other local churches. As part of this initiative our Children’s and Youth worker became a full-time post moving from part time.
There has been a significant change to our work with children and young families. With support from the diocese through the Mission Hub project, we have increased from part time to full time the role of our Children and Youth Worker. This has resulted in a huge rise in the number of young families worshipping at the church.
Foodbank
We have managed contributions to the Food Bank and made them available to those in our community who are in need.
Holiday Club
Our main sources of income are through lettings and church family donations. We raise small amounts of funds through fayres, cream teas and similar.
One of our main outreach events of the year is our Holiday Club which is run by our Children’s and Youth worker and is open to school children in the area. It runs from Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm. Approximately 70 children attend all or part of the week. We recruit 20 volunteers from our church family to run it.
Community
Our charity provides a space for Christians to come to worship and pray, in a safe and welcoming environment. Pastoral care is extremely important to us, and we pay much attention to the wellbeing of our church family.
We are welcoming to the local community and take every opportunity to support local projects. For instance, we make space available to support to the local Food Bank.
The number of people worshipping with us continues to grow year on year. The number of groups hiring the church centre regularly and on an ad hoc basis has grown.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Donations and planned giving income (including Gift Aid) for the church this year was £99,857, (2024: £101,237).
In addition, the PCC received grants of £33,110 (2024: £29,670). There was no legacy income in 2025 (2024: £2,000). Gift aid received was £3,455 for the year (2024: £3,277).
Income from charitable activities was £10,661 for the year (2024: £16,718) and income from room hire was £59,022 (2024: £59,812).
Total expenditure in the year increased from £228,966 in 2024 to £233,331. Charitable expenses contributed to most of the expenditure in the year, being £119,698 for the year (2024: £133,279).
The PCC as a whole had a deficit in the year of £17,622 (2024: surplus of £5,471). The main Church fund and other designated funds were in surplus to the amount of £7,425 (2024: surplus £49,959).
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:
-
Church fund - this is the general fund for the day to day running of the parish
-
Unrestricted (designated) funds - these are funds set up by parish for specific designated purposes
-
Restricted and endowment funds - these are funds created by the donors for specific purposes
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.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st December 2025
The total income from the parish in giving and donations (i.e. not including the income received by the St Nicholas Centre) for 2025 was £94,528 (2024: £86,107) an increase from the previous year of £8,421. This is encouraging and is a reflection of the growing numbers in our congregations and of course the genosity of the church family. However, expenses for the running of the parish during the year were £105,520 (2024: £90,770) an increase of £14,750 more than the previous year. This means that the parish expenses exceeded the income by £10,992.
The total income from the St Nicholas Centre was £59,185 (2024: £60,570). Expenses incurred from the running of the Centre were £44,554 (2024: £33,842) an increase from the previous year of £10,712. This means Centre income from room hire exceeded the expenses of running the Centre by £14,631.
Therefore, taking both parish and Centre operations together, the total income for this year was £153,713 (2024: £146,677) an increase on the previous year by £7,036 while total expenses were £150,074 (2024: £124,613) which is £25,461 more than the previous year. Overall, this left a positive position of £3,639.
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.
