## **Achievements and performance – review of the year** 

2024 was our third full year as a Ministry Area of the Church in Wales, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion of Christian Churches. During the year, we continued to deliver our charitable objects of the promotion in the Ministry Area of the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

We have pursued our Mission and Vision (as set out on page 4) through our worship and a varied programme of community based activities. Our activities during the year included regular church services, baptisms, weddings and funerals, Quiet Days, Lent courses, musical events, a programme of events for children and young people, a monthly breakfast club for young families, work with local schools, first aid courses, plant and cake sales and various other faith-based groups and activities. We continued our focus on Safeguarding during the year, with members of the Ministry Area Council and other volunteers completing Safeguarding training in accordance with Church in Wales requirements. Additionally, throughout the year, we continued our support of the charity Christian Aid, which included our traditional Lent Lunches with proceeds being donated to Christian Aid. 

During the year we said goodbye to our curate, Reverend Bethany Pearson. We thank Rev. Pearson for her contribution to the life and work of the Ministry Area, and we wish her all the very best for her future endeavours. 

As part of our five year plan, we intend to increase the numbers of younger people participating in Ministry Area activities. With this objective in mind, we are seeking to employ a ‘Young Persons Ministry Lead (YPML)’ for a period of at least three years. Several members of our congregations donated generously during the year to help fund this project, and the Ministry Area Council has also ring-fenced (designated) £40,000 of income received from the Norman and Freda Jones Trust and a further £5,000 (received in 2023) in memory of a former parishioner, to support this objective. We aim to complete the appointment in 2025. 

The Ministry Area has a strong musical tradition. Music is an integral part of our services, and we also promoted a varied programme of musical events during the year including our popular ‘Music at Lunchtime’ series, organ recitals and several other concerts, principally at St Augustine’s and All Saints Churches. Our music programme helps to raise valuable funds for the Ministry Area. 

Our Community Cinema has gone from strength to strength, and provided regular showings of both new blockbuster and classical movies during the year. Film nights were frequently sold-out, providing an opportunity for fellowship and entertainment, whilst also raising valuable funds for the Ministry Area. 

In June, we held our Open Churches weekend, which provided an opportunity for people who do not normally attend our churches to gain an insight into our activities. The weekend included a varied programme of events. Also in June, we held our annual Summer Celebration, which provided a further opportunity for people to come together at All Saints and enjoy food, drinks and music. 

In October, following a successful application to the UK Charity Commission, the PMA Board of Trustees created a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), constituted in accordance with the directions of the Church in Wales. Other Ministry Areas within the Church in Wales are taking similar steps. Our new CIO became the vehicle for carrying-on PMA business on 1 January 2025. Whilst this represents an important structural change in our underlying legal status from an unincorporated association to an incorporated organisation, the change should be largely

inconsequential to the way in which we conduct the general business and activities of the Ministry Area. 

In November, we decided to offer one of the Ministry Area’s residential properties for sale, 84 Coleridge Avenue (known as the Curate’s House). The house has historically been used as a home for curates completing their training at All Saints and, at times when not required for a curate, as rented accommodation in the private market. Following the departure of Rev. Pearson, the Ministry Area Council examined the possibility of again offering the house for rent, or selling it. Having considered the risks, likely cashflows, current financial situation of the Ministry Area and increasingly onerous legislative framework associated with letting property, the Council considered that selling the property and investing the proceeds of sale in income producing securities was in the better long-term interests of the Ministry Area. The Ministry Area’s other residential property continues to be let to generate rental income. 

In November, we held our annual ‘All Souls’ services in both St Augustine’s and All Saints, dedicated to the more recently bereaved, but open (of course) to all. In December, we held our annual Christmas Tree Festival at St Augustine’s, which has grown in popularity and attendance every year. This year, notwithstanding the disruption caused by Storm Darragh, we welcomed approximately 2,000 people into St Augustine’s during the three day event, and raised £2,700 for three UK charities and around £1,200 for the Ministry Area. We would like to thank all those who organised, supported and attended the event. 

We continued our extensive programme of building improvement and maintenance throughout the year. Across the Ministry Area, we are responsible for five church buildings (one of which is listed Grade 1, one Grade 2* and another Grade 2), three church halls and two domestic properties, creating a substantial maintenance requirement every year. The results of our recent quinquennial inspections are starting to emerge, and the Ministry Area Council will soon be prioritising the inevitable maintenance obligations that arise from these important inspections. 

During the year, maintenance work was completed on the tower of St. Augustine’s church to secure the bell-chamber louvres and to improve access for future work. At the Church of the Holy Nativity, work to repair the boundary walls was completed using funds donated by Lord Plymouth for the preservation of the churches associated with the Windsor-Clive family. We submitted a successful application to the Vale of Glamorgan Council for a grant (of £5,000) from the Stronger Communities Grant Fund and ‘Section 106’ monies, to help fund new boundary fencing and facilitate the development of the church grounds, which occupy a prominent site at the junction of Plassey Street and Windsor Road, as a community garden. The Ministry Area is grateful to the Vale of Glamorgan Council for its support for this initiative. The fencing work is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. 

The Ministry Area Council wishes to thank all who support its Mission. In particular, we offer thanks to the Clergy whose tireless work guides our activity, and to our employees for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. We also wish to recognise and thank all those who provided financial contributions which are so vital to our mission and our continued existence as a Ministry Area, and we offer our thanks to the Friends of St Augustine’s and the Friends of St Peter’s, for their continued support of our Mission. The Ministry Area Council also expresses its thanks to all church wardens and volunteers who give their time freely and, without whom, the Ministry Area would not be able to function.

## **Financial review** 

2024 was a challenging year financially for the Ministry Area. Planned giving fell by around 10% and other donations were around 65% lower compared to 2023 (albeit 2023 benefited from a one-off Gift Day). Parish Share expenditure increased by around 5% compared to the prior year (but will fall as we go into 2025), with other expenditure lines remaining broadly comparable with the prior year. 

During the year, PMA received general unrestricted income of £319,102 _(2023: £355,994)_ , and incurred operating costs of £359,171 _(2023: £349,884)_ , resulting in an operating deficit on unrestricted funds of £40,069 _(2023: operating surplus £6,110)_ . Additionally, PMA recorded appreciation in its property values of £153,000 and appreciation in its Church in Wales investment of £929. As a result, PMA reports a net surplus for the year on unrestricted funds of £113,860 _(2023: net deficit £21,797)_ . 

Primary sources of general unrestricted income during the year included Planned Giving of £117,398; Money Raising of £123,991; and fees of £14,713. Primary expenditure from general unrestricted funds included the Parish Share of £146,040; Maintenance of Churches of £127,199 and General Parish expenses of £54,257. 

At 31 December 2024, PMA held unrestricted net assets (reserves) of £781,044 _(2023: £667,184)_ consisting of property valued at £716,000 ; investments of £22,043; cash of £51,386; amounts receivable of £1,023 and amounts payable of £9,408. 

In addition to its general unrestricted funds, PMA received £39,593 as a legacy donation (designated for St Peter’s Church) and £79,860 in restricted income and donations. At 31 December 2024, PMA held Designated funds of £139,395, primarily for St Peter’s and the Young People’s Ministry Lead (YPML). PMA also held Restricted funds at 31 December 2024 of £159,351; primarily for the YPML and the maintenance and development of church buildings. 

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102).

_Penarth Ministry Area – registered charity 1134711 Trustees’ Report and Accounts 2024_ 

## **2. Report from the Independent Examiner** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Penarth Ministry Area** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of **Penarth Ministry Area** (Registered charity 1134711) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Annual Financial Return, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility: 

- to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Unrestricted funds for 2024 have been separated into the component parts of ‘General’ and ‘Designated’ funds, with corresponding adjustments to the 2023 figures. Had the same policy been applied in 2022, £65,566 of the brought forward unrestricted funds, as at 1 January 2022, would have been allocated into the designated fund. This would reconcile to £60,284 representing the designated funds from the Norman and Freda Jones Trust and £5,282 from the St Dochdwy’s fund.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards; the Statement of Recommended Practice, SORP 2019 (FRS102) issued by The Charity Commission; and the Church in Wales Accounting Regulations, which specify the Standard Form of Accounts to be adopted by parishes within the Church in Wales. 

The historical cost convention is used except for the valuation of certain fixed assets, whose valuation basis is detailed in the note below. The principal accounting policies are applied consistently. 

## _**Fixed assets**_ 

Churches, Churchyards and Vicarages are vested in the Representative Body of the Church in Wales and any such property forms no part of the assets of the Parish. Moveable Church contents are inalienable property and require a faculty for disposal. Many are historic for which no reliable cost or valuation bases exist. They are not recognised on the Balance Sheet nor listed, to reduce the risk of theft and vandalism. Expenditure on Churches (including contents), Churchyards and Vicarages is written off when incurred. Other freehold land and buildings are held in trust for the Parish by either the Representative Body, or the Llandaff Diocesan Board of Finance. 

## _**Income**_ 

- **Recognition of income** : Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

- **Income with related expenditure** : Where income has related expenditure the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SoFA. 

- **Donations and legacies** : Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the SoFA when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income. 

- **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** : Income from tax reclaims is included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates. 

- **Donated services and facilities** : These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. 

- **Volunteer help** : The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts. 

- **Investment income** : This is included in the accounts when receivable. 

- **Gains/(losses) on revaluation of fixed assets** : This includes any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

- **Gains/(losses) on investment assets** : This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments.

_Penarth Ministry Area – registered charity 1134711 Trustees’ Report and Accounts 2024_ 

## _**Expenditure**_ 

- **Recognition of expenditure** : Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

- **Expenditure on raising funds** : These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. 

- **Expenditure on charitable activities** : These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. 

- **Grants payable** : All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid. 

- **Governance costs** : These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. 

- **Other expenditure** : These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## _**Funds**_ 

The Board took a decision to split the unrestricted funds into its component parts of general and designated funds. This was to better reflect the intended use of funds for St Peter’s (Norman and Freda Jones Trust), St Dochdwy’s and the intended recruitment of a Young Persons Ministry Lead. 

- **General funds** : are general funds which can be used for ordinary purposes by the Ministry Area. 

- **Designated funds** : are unrestricted funds set aside by the Ministry Area Council for a specific purpose. 

- **General funds** and **designated funds** combined constitute the charity’s total ‘ **Unrestricted’** funds 

- **Restricted funds** : represent a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the Ministry Area for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. 

## _**Investments**_ 

Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less any provisions for impairment. Investments are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairments are calculated such that the carrying value of the fixed asset investment is the lower of its cost or recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of its net realisable value and its value in use.

_Penarth Ministry Area – registered charity 1134711 Trustees’ Report and Accounts 2024_ 

## _**Cash and cash equivalents**_ 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. 

## _**Trade and other creditors**_ 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## _**Pension costs**_ 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees, under which the Ministry Area pays contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Ministry Area has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Ministry Area in independently administered funds. 

## _**Operating leases**_ 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **2. Planned giving** 

During the year, PMA received £141,264 of planned giving, which included donations of £127,555 through the Church in Wales Gift Direct Scheme, £23,866 of which was restricted for the Young People’s Ministry Lead (YPML).

PMA paid Parish Share of £146,040 _(2023: £138,694)_ to Llandaff Diocese, as a contribution towards the costs of Ministry and Mission across the Diocese. The Parish Share covers (inter alia): 

- Education, children, young people and safeguarding 

- Ministry and discipleship and training 

- Clergy housing repairs and maintenance 

- Care of churches 

- Grants to support mission and ministry projects

For 2025, Llandaff Diocese is replacing the Parish Share with the ‘Common Fund’. Payments to the Common Fund are based on pledges from Ministry Areas, in place of the formula-driven approach currently used for the Parish Share. For 2025, PMA has agreed a Common Fund contribution to Llandaff Diocese of £110,000.

As noted in the Review of the Year on page 7, the Board of Trustees decided in November 2024 to offer the Curate’s House for sale. The property was placed on the market on 16 December 2024. 

## **14. Norman and Freda Jones Trust (NFJT)** 

In 2020, a Trust fund known as the ‘ _Norman and Freda Jones Trust_ ’ was established using proceeds from the estate of a former parishioner. The terms of the Trust direct that it shall be owned and retained by the Representative Body of the Church in Wales (RBCIW) as a permanent endowment (hence it does not appear in PMA’s balance sheet), with income from the Trust being paid to All Saints PCC and any successor bodies (now Penarth Ministry Area) as beneficiary. The terms of the Trust further direct that income from the Trust should be used by the beneficiary for the benefit of the parish with preference being given to St Peter’s Church. Funds received from NFJT represent unrestricted income, however the PMA Board of Trustees has passed a resolution to designate NFJT funds for the benefit of St Peter’s, in recognition of the donor’s expressed preference. 

During 2024, PMA received £39,593 _(2023: £37,534)_ from the Trust, and spent £3,298 _(2023: £2,176)_ on maintenance work at St Peter’s church. The Board of Trustees also designated £40,000 of the NFJT money for the Young People’s Ministry Lead (YPML). At 31 December 2024, the balance of income received from the Trust was held by PMA partly within CCLA Investment Management Limited (as a longer term deposit), and partly in a separate current account (to meet short term needs):

_Penarth Ministry Area – registered charity 1134711 Trustees’ Report and Accounts 2024_ 

## **26. Going concern assessment** 

On 27 January 2025, the PMA Board of Trustees assessed the financial position and prospects of Penarth Ministry Area and concluded that the charity remains a Going Concern. 

In arriving at this conclusion, the Board: 

- Noted it had transferred the activities of Penarth Ministry Area (the unincorporated association) to Penarth Ministry Area Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with effect from 1 January 2025. As the CIO replaces the unincorporated association in form but not in substance, the Board concludes that this transfer does not affect PMA’s going concern assertion or the value of assets and liabilities presented in its balance sheet at 31 December 2024. _(Note, the Board of Trustees intends to dissolve PMA’s charitable registration during 2025, in favour of the new charitable registration associated with PMA CIO)_ 

- Considered both the general economic climate, and the specific operating environment for the Ministry Area, for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which the 2024 accounts were approved by the Trustees 

- Noted that, at 31 December 2024, PMA had unrestricted (liquid) working capital of £43,001 and (near-liquid) investments reserves of £22,042 

- Noted the net operating deficit on unrestricted funds for 2024 and considered the reasonable assumption that underlying income and expenditure patterns in 2025 will remain largely consistent with 2024, except as follows: 

   - the intended sale of the Curate’s House should generate cash of c£450,000, which the Board of Trustees believes will generate an annual investment return of c£16,000 - £20,000. 

   - the Ministry Area has agreed with Llandaff Board of Finance a year-on-year reduction in the Parish Share / Common Fund payment, from £146,000 in 2024 to £110,000 in 2025, which will help to improve general underlying financial results in 2025 

- Noted that the Ministry Area can reasonably expect to continue receiving income for the foreseeable future from the Norman and Freda Jones Trust, of c£35,000+ per annum. Whilst the Ministry Area Council has designated this money for the benefit of St Peter’s church (in line with the donor’s stated preference), the money remains available at Trustees’ discretion for the general purposes of the Ministry Area (excluding payment of the Common Fund), if not required for St Peter’s church 

- Noted the ageing estate that falls within the responsibility of the Ministry Area (which includes both Grade I and Grade II Listed Buildings), the continuing maintenance and financial burden this creates and, in particular, the likely outcome of the 2024 Quinquennial Reviews 

- Estimated that PMA currently holds liquid reserves sufficient to sustain normal operating activity for at least twelve months, plus property and investments which, if sold, would be sufficient to sustain normal operating activity for at least a further 10-15 years thereafter.
