OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
CHURCHWARDENS REPORT FOR 2023
This has been the first full year for our new Vicar, Tansley.
Perhaps the most significant change that has been successfully introduced is by Tansley and agreed by the PCC has been a re-structuring of the PCC away from separate church teams to a system of sub-committees (to which members of the congregations with specific relevant skills may be invited to join). The aim of this re-structuring was, firstly, to enable members of the PCC to direct their time and effort in a way which appeals to their interests and which best utilises their skills and expertise. In addition, it has reduced the number of meetings that individual PCC members are expected to attend annually and made them more focussed. Furthermore, it has provided a way in which we can encourage other members of the congregations to be involved in the life of the churches. This also helps us in succession planning.
The PCC now has 5 sub-committees (plus the Standing Committee) as follows:
-
PCC
-
Standing Committee
Ministry and Worship. Mission and Outreach. Finance. Buildings and Fabric. Events and Fundraising.
Deanery Synod Representatives
Meetings of the main body of the PCC have been reduced to 3 times per year (November, March, June) plus a short meeting immediately following the APCM to elect formally new PCC members.
Each sub-group has defined terms of reference and is accountable to the PCC but has a certain level of autonomy to make and act on decisions. Where the decisions are large and require whole PCC discussion and approval, the sub-committee's role is to place specific proposals or options to the PCC.
Each sub-committee and is led by either the vicar or a church warden and meets at least once between each PCC meeting, and a written report (a paragraph or two) provided to the PCC in advance of the meeting.
In addition, we have moved to a central operating structure to increase efficiency and contain costs. There is now one church office which moves between the two churches, and which will soon be set up on a new operating structure with new IT systems which will ensure that there is less repetition and processes are more streamlined. This work has been generously sponsored by a member of our congregation.
During the year, we have lost our curate, Rev Sarah Mortimer, who has taken a post in Bicester as well as Rev Vusi Mabusa who has moved to the Diocese of Guildford. We wish them both great success and happiness in their new roles.
All Souls' Church has become a welcoming Community hub for a variety of activities. The Church Coffee Shop continues to thrive on weekdays from 10 am to midday and there are other groups who use church as their venue like Chat and Craft and French Conversation. RBWM approached All Souls as a centre for a short course of Baby Massage in January as we are a Warm Hub. The latest community activity takes place weekly on Fridays from 1pm to 2pm. This is the Share Foodbank which has proved very successful. The mainly fresh food is donated weekly by local supermarkets, and, with a regular band of volunteers, we are able to aid food poverty and prevent food waste. No referrals are needed for members the community to collect a bag of food. Between 40 and 50 people attend weekly, and they are feeding 120 to 150 people in their families.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
At St Michaels, we are grateful to have seen a marked increase in numbers at the family service, back to pre-covid levels, and have been welcoming newcomers to both our family-friendly and BCP services. Our choir, after a difficult couple of months, is now well-established but would welcome new members to strengthen numbers! There have been some innovative new services during the year, as well as valuing our more traditional annual services, such as the annual carol concert, Christmas Eve Carols and Lessons and our Remembrance Day service. Fund-raising has continued with the success of our annual carol concert and a recent quiz night.
With the high cost of energy in both the Churches, we are aware that our finances are under continual scrutiny, but we have been able to apply for grants towards some of these costs. The Parish welcomes one off donations and regular planned giving to help towards our running costs.
Looking ahead, the Parish's finances remain challenged. We seem unable to achieve our ambition of meeting our annual overhead through regular giving. This leaves us reliant on fund-raising, generous one-off legacies and donations, for which we must be hugely grateful, but the levels of regular giving are such that our financial position is parlous. At St Michael's, we are continuing to prioritise capital investment. Current projects under consideration include how we make the church more accessible for people with disabilities as well as work which is urgently needed to increase the availability of spaces for the interment of ashes. The church hall at All Souls' needs an enormous amount of money spent on it to bring it up to standard. Our challenge will be establishing the returns we might then get from higher rents and whether the level of investment is worthwhile. In addition, it would be wonderful to be able to install a new kitchen so that we could use the church more effectively as a local hub and extend our mission more widely into the community.
We look forward to the coming year with excitement as we continue our commitment to grow the church congregations and engage increasingly with the broader community in which we live.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the year ending 31 December 2023, All Souls' produced a surplus of £9,688, although £23,000 of that is one-off expenditure which can be met from reserves. Overall, it therefore made a operating surplus of over £32,688. St Michaels' made a surplus of £22,777. However, St Michael's had one-off income from a legacy of £40,000 and a further gift of £10,000. The latter includes an advance payment for our IT project, so in effect St Michael's made an operating deficit of £27,223. The key thing to note is that
regular giving of roughly £67,095 does not even cover the cost of parish share at St Michael's (£71,903). In the same year, All Souls' took in regular giving of £31,097 against a parish share of £23,362. Otherwise, costs have come in pretty much as expected and are about as low as we can keep them while keeping the churches open and operating. Henceforth, it our intention to take major donations and legacies into reserves in order to provide against future deficits and capital projects (such as a new roof or organ) rather than using them to subsidise annual running costs. This is a more conservative way of accounting but one which the PCC considers both wise and prudent.
In the coming year, the PCC has agreed that it will be combining the finances of the two churches into one parish-wide set of accounts to reflect the integrated approach we are now taking to administration and management of the parish as a whole. Prioritisation of expenditure and income will be taken in a more systematic and coordinated fashion, using reserves wisely and with an eye to ensuring a sensible return for any investment made. In order to manage the parish more effectively and to support our vicar in the absence of any volunteers, we will be increasing the hours of paid work undertaken by our parish administration team. This, combined with the required work for All Souls' church hall means that your PCC has agreed to cover a budgeted deficit of in excess of £100,000 from reserves this year. This decision has been taken in order to get the parish onto an efficient platform to operate with greater efficiency. However, without a large increase in regular giving, we face bleak future prospects.
Capital and Reserves Funds
As at 31 December 2023 total capital and reserves for All Souls was £432,090, £283,567 of which is restricted as to the purpose to which the fund can be applied. This leaves unrestricted capital and reserves of £148,523 that can be used for any ecclesiastical purpose in the parish. Total reserves for St Michaels is £181,389, of which £23,569 is restricted.
The PCC will periodically review the availability of restricted funds and where appropriate advice will be sought to amend or remove the restrictions where desirable.
RESERVES POLICY
As recommended by both the Charity Commission and Church of England guidance the Parochial Church Council has approved a reserves policy in respect of both St Michael's & All Angels Church and All Souls church, which is to invest cautiously and with investments in either M & G Charifund, CCLA or similar St Michaels & All Angels
The St Michaels policy reflects routine church running costs, service costs and cyclical building repairs and maintenance but is not intended to cover in full "1 in 100 year" items or discretionary items such as major structural repairs or improvements. Such items would be covered as far as possible by grant applications and fundraising appeals with any shortfall met from reserves. The approved policy is to hold an agreed level of investments and cash in reserve (and therefore not to include these amounts when assessing general expenditure, setting the annual budget or considering any improvement plans or special projects). The amount held in reserve will be revisited each year and is based on the most recently available annual accounts.
In respect of the year ended 31 December 2023 this reserve has been maintained at £100,000 and in setting this figure the following factors were considered.
o The age of the church and its listed building status. Whilst a number of significant building projects have been completed in the last 3 years, there are still a number of items identified in the latest quinquennial review and through discussion with the church's architect.
o The level of general expenditure incurred in the running of the Church including employee costs and the extent of recent shortfalls
o Any money received in advance in respect of the magazine

" Any committed expenditure in respect of office holders and individuals who provide services on a contract basis
The list of factors to consider will be reviewed each year when the reserves policy and amount is agreed.
All Souls
The All Souls policy reflects routine church running costs, service costs and cyclical building repairs and maintenance but is not intended to cover "1 in 100 year" items such as major structural repairs or improvements. The reserve policy is intended to provide the church with the flexibility to undertake improvements to the structure and fabric of the building and to develop the facilities available as the church continues to grow and develop for the future. The approved policy is to hold an agreed level of investments and cash in reserve (and therefore not to include these amounts when assessing general expenditure and setting the annual budget). The amount held in reserve will be revisited each year and is based on the most recently available annual accounts. In respect of the year ended 31 December 2023 this reserve has been set at no less than six months unrestricted expenditure and in arriving at this figure the following factors were considered.
o The age of the church and its listed building status
o The relatively modest level of recent expenditure on maintenance Routine and cyclical maintenance as identified in the latest quinquennial review and through discussion with the Church's architect o The high level of restricted funds available for repairs to the church and for the maintenance of the graveyard.
o The level of general expenditure incurred in the running of the Church including employee costs.
o Any committed expenditure in respect of office holders and individuals who provide services on a contract basis
o Any costs associated with improving the structure and fabric of the church as part of meeting the church's long-term growth and development plans
The list of factors to consider will be reviewed each year when the reserves policy and amount is agreed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF SUNNINGHILL AND SOUTH ASCOT
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Sunninghill and South Ascot
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Sunninghill and South Ascot (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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
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.
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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - At variable rates Fixtures and fittings - 3 to 5 years on cost Computer equipment - Straight line over 4 years
Taxation
The church is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. Accordingly it is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No provision for taxation has been made in these accounts.
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 church. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Endowments funds represent capital, held in perpetuity to create income for specific purposes.
