**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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**
The objective of St Alban's, Hindhead is to provide a community to enable people to worship God, to develop their faith, and to build up a sense of community, within the parish of Hindhead.
To this end, it provides:
- worship - two Sunday morning services, a fortnightly online midweek service, and a monthly mid week service;
- pastoral support from clergy and laity;
- and other activities such as Life Groups, Christian courses, activities for children and occasional social events.
In addition, in order to finance these activities of St Alban's as a worshipping community, St Alban's uses its buildings for concerts, for rehearsals, for classes and for other purpose.
To maintain its ability to support both parish and community activities, the parish regularly undertakes work to maintain and, where possible, enhance the buildings and their facilities.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the volunteers for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church running.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Achievements and Performance and Public Benefit**
When planning their activities, the incumbent and the PCC considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The church continued to serve the community and events included a summer Holiday Club for children.
The major work to address significant problems with the gutters along the North Side of the building was completed. We continued to seek to address the issues identified in the Quinquennial inspection of 2020.
The Church Cottage was rented out throughout the year. St Alban's continued to give a regular amount to the work of the Bible Society.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The total income was £217,969, as detailed in the financial statements. Expenditure amounted to £199,736 resulting in net income of £18,233, compared with net expenditure in the preceding year of £12,960. The net income comprises net income on unrestricted funds of £10,583 (2022: £15,775) and net income on restricted funds of £7,650 (2022: net expenditure £28,735). £9,823 of Unrestricted Funds was paid to charities in line with our policy to give away 10% of our regular income based on Funds raised in the previous year.
As a result, the funds totalled £1,176,687 at 31st December 2023, compared with £1,158,454 at 31st December 2022. At the year end restricted funds amounted to £991,514 whilst unrestricted general funds amounted to £115,173 and designated funds of £70,000. Restricted funds include the book value of the properties which totalled £868,863.
A number of factors contributed to the result for the year:
Unrestricted income was £152,121 which was £3,642 lower than 2022, mainly due to lower unrestricted donations in the year.
Restricted fund income amounted to £65,848, marking a £26,256 increase from 2022. This surge included new donations of £6.5k for the Small Project Appeal, and a £1k towards heating costs. Additionally, legacy income from the Nicol Trust rose by £24k, with £16k of it being received in early January.
Unrestricted expenditure was £141,375 which was £1,387 higher than the previous year. Increases included £1k cost of services and£3k hall costs.
Restricted expenditure was £58,361, this is £9,966 lower than 2022. This reduction was primarily due to decreased spending on stonework to repair the North West Corner, which had been incurred in 2022.
## **Reserves policy**
The PCC aims to maintain unrestricted reserves equal to a minimum of 6 months expenditure in order to meet unexpected urgent expenditure or to continue to meet necessary regular costs if income decreases.
## **Restricted funds**
The restricted funds are set out in Note 19 to the accounts.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll of the parish, and the PCC is elected by the Electoral Roll. The churchwardens, who are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting by Electoral Roll members, are members of the PCC.
## **Risk management**
The PCC has considered the major risks to which the Church is exposed. The PCC has reviewed systems and identified steps to mitigate those risks such as:
- reviewing Hall charges due an increase in prices, especially fuel.
- future levels of income

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Parochial Church Council of St Alban's, Hindhead**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Parochial Church Council of St Alban's, Hindhead**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Parochial Church Council of St Alban's, Hindhead (the Trust) for the year ended 31 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.

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ALBAN'S, HINDHEAD**
**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023**
## **1. STATUS OF THE PCC**
The Parochial Church Council of St Alban's, Hindhead is a registered charity, no. 1134255.
A description of the nature of the PCC's activities is disclosed in the Report of the Trustees. The PCC's principal address is stated on page 2.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' 'true and fair view' provisions, together with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP (FRS 102)).
The accounts have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) Second Edition issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1st April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
Fair value of tangible fixed assets and investment properties
These assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The Trustees assess the fair value based on recent market values. In determining the fair value on this basis, the valuation remains sensitive to fluctuations in the property market.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## Donations, Legacies and Collections
Collections are recognised when banked by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on covenants or Gift Aid donations is recognised in the accounts when the gift is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due is probable.
## Other ordinary income from church activities
Parochial fees due to the PCC for weddings, etc. are accounted for on an event by event basis. Rental income is recognised only when received.
## Income from investments
Dividend and interest income are accounted for when received as is any income tax recoverable on such income.

**Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 December 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
The Diocese Parish Share is accounted for when paid. Any contributions unpaid at the balance sheet date are provided for in the financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and are shown within creditors.
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Where grants are offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date these are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost Church equipment - 33% on cost
- Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the financial statements by section 10(2) to (4) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, as the PCC considers this to be an inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated land and beneficed buildings, whether maintenance or improvement, is charged to the accounts during the year, as is expenditure on moveable church furnishings.
## **Investment property**
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Current assets and liabilities**
Debtors and creditors are recognised where, at the balance sheet date, an entitlement to receive or transfer economic benefit exists and settlement is probable and can be measured reliably. Amounts are measured at the expected settlement amount, discounted for the time value of money if material.
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds, or at the bank.

## **Role of volunteers**
The PCC is reliant on a team of volunteers to enable the running of the church and related activities.
The PCC estimate that approximately 60 people are involved in volunteering roles in order for the church to conduct its services and further activities and to carry out its role in the community. These are many varied contributions too numerous to acknowledge properly in these financial statements. They include mission, pastoral, worship/service related, church and grounds upkeep, youth and children activities, administrative, financial and many more.
In accordance with the SORP, due to the absence of any reliable measurement basis, the contribution of these volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.
