TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the PCC's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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
The PCC are keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. The service pattern continues to evolve. Our main Sunday morning services are Eucharistic, but the fourth Sunday is now an act of Morning Worship for all. When there is a fifth Sunday we may have a service for all in the Hall, which can be Holy Communion or a Service of the Word. This enables the Church congregation to meet with the Family Ministry Team who run JaM, Jesus & Me.
Baptisms may take place at 10am on the third Sunday of the month, but most families prefer the 12noon option. Baptism Visitors meet the family a week or two before the service, and the Vicar also speaks with them either by telephone or, preferably, in person.
The midweek service currently uses the Common Worship format. A quarterly Café Church service is held in the Lady Chapel or Hall, and there is an Iona service one evening a month. In September 2023 Messy Church was restarted, meeting once a month on a Monday after school.
Achievements and performance
All are welcome to attend our regular services. About half the congregation receive the common cup, the rest continue receive in one kind.
The vicar welcomes St. Edward’s School to attend a Year 8 Retreat every other year, taking place over two Wednesdays. Stanley Green Infant Academy visit before Easter over a series of 6 sessions to enable the whole school to experience the Easter Story in church.
At present there are 154 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, of whom 73 are not resident within the parish. Two names were added during the year and 20 were removed either through death (7) or because they moved away from the parish (13). The average weekly attendance, counted during October, was 234 About 25 of the regular congregation take part in four House groups which provide mid-week fellowship and deepen knowledge of the Gospel and faith in Jesus.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping.
Zoom has become a regularly requested feature of funerals enabling those unable to attend to be present virtually. We have celebrated 15 baptisms, 5 Confirmation, no weddings, 1 admission to the Church of England, and held 10 funerals in church and 2 at the Crematorium this year.
Deanery Synod
Three members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
The Church Halls Complex
The church is open to our community for private prayer whenever the Office is open. The bookings for the two halls are an important part of our ‘income’ and are well used by the community for a variety of activities. The Choir Vestry can also be made available if necessary.
From time to time the local Air Cadets use our car park on a Friday evening (having made sure that no-one else is using the premises or car park that evening) for drill practise.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Pastoral Care
The Church Hall kitchen meets the stringent health and safety requirements and allows us, in normal circumstances, to continue St George’s Lunch Club (for over 65s who live alone) on two Thursdays a month. Twenty people regularly attend, most of whom are parishioners.
Some members of our parish are unable to attend church owing to sickness or age. The Ministry Team has visited all church members who have requested it. Our team of Lay Pastoral Assistants visit, or telephone, to give active pastoral support and our Eucharistic Assistants take Home Communion to any who would like it.
Mission and Evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. We continue to support a mix of local and overseas charities. The Church web site www.stgeorgesoakdale.co.uk contains information about services, activities and contacts. The Facebook Page has enabled more contact with the community, and generous several requests – a resource that has grown greatly since a church member took over running the page for us. This and the website are regularly maintained and updated to keep parishioners and enquirers informed of the important matters affecting our Church and articles that help develop our knowledge and trust in Jesus, encourage prayer and to provide support during the pandemic.
Reaching out into the Parish and in particular those that live alone, the Church organises a free bi-monthly Sunday Community Afternoon Tea, with entertainment and transport (if required). Sadly we were still unable to provide a Boxing Day tea, so the volunteer drivers delivered a small ‘goodie’ bag to all CAT member in December.
Financial review
It is the policy of the PCC that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the PCC’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the PCC is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the PCC and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the PCC for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH, OAKDALE, POOLE
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St. George's Church, Oakdale, Poole (the PCC) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the PCC’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 PCC as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
St. George's Church, Oakdale, Poole is a registered charity which operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the PCC's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The PCC is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The PCC has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the PCC. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Donations receivable for the general purposes of the charity are credited to unrestricted funds. Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to Restricted funds.
Funds from activities are accounted for in the period the funds were receivable. The majority of the funds are derived from fund raising activities and hire of the church premises and halls.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.

ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH, OAKDALE, POOLE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Consecrated land and buildings Moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011. No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the P.C.C. and which require a faculty for disposal since the P.C.C. considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Financial instruments
The PCC has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the PCC's balance sheet when the PCC becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the PCC’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
