Ind8
endgnt Examiner
A ￿SolUtion proposing the reappoinlmenl of M. A. Edwards Accountants Limited as independent
examiner will be put to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.
Or
anisation of the Church
The Parochial Church Council is led by the Incurnbenvchurchwardens and comprises 12 lay people
who are elected al the Annual Parochial Church Nleeting. There are also 14 ex officio rnembers.
Reserves Poli
The Parochial Church Council have decided that the unrestricted funds not commilted or
representing tangible fixed assets (free reserves) held by the church should be at least 3 months
of expenditure. It is considered necessary lo have these reserves to keèp the church running in the
event of a future reduction in funding.
Risk Review
The Parochial Church Council have re￿eWed the risks facing the church. Sl. Nwlas Place continues to require subsidy
from thè ChLJrch and no provision is possible for its long tem upkeep. St Nicolas Church 8s b rèsult is unable to m8k8
ils full contribution to the Diocesan common Fund, a position of concern to us and the Diocese. The Parish Church ol
st NiGolas is requiring major repairs and updates which are b8comin9 Glitical e.g th8 spir8, th8 navg ioof and
the continued suspension of bell ringing. The senior church members will CDntinue lo seek future sources of funding lo
guard against a significant reduction in funding in the fulure.
Public Benefit Statement
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and Kings Norton P.C.C. have considered
the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities
for the advancement of ieligion.

The P.C.C. has three churches in use, St. Nicolas, Immanuel and Hawkesley. Immanuel Church fomierfy met
at St. Nicolas Place, but is now part of Sl. Nicolas Ghurch. Sl. Nicolas Place is used by the parish office, as
well as for Meeting roorns and storage. For a fvrfelve month period the value of this bgnefil to the church has
bèèn approxitnated at £10.000. Hawkesley Church meets at Hawkesley Church Primary School in the
Pastoral Centre which is owned by the P.C.C. The P.C.G. owns St. Nicolas Place and the Old
Gr8mmar School. As Saint Nicolas Church is on consecrated ground, and both St. Nicolas Place and
the Old Grammar School are very old and too difficult to value, all of these have been excluded from
the accounis. The P.C.C. still owns one former clergy residence. Converted and opened as
Hawkesley Community Hub in September 2012. This property was included in the accounts for th8 first
lime during the year to 31sl Decembei 2006 and due to the absence of any cost information il was
included al an estimate of its value. A professional valuation was not obtained. Depreciation in relation
to p￿VIouS years has rK)t been in¢luded.
