The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC.

PCC’s responsibilities

The PCC are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The Charities Act 2011 requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the PCC members are required to:

The PCC are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Church and enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Church and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, RANMOOR ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

The PCC members confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant information of which the Church’s independent examiners are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as PCC members in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity’s independent examiners are aware of that information.

Objectives and activities

St John the Evangelist’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church Building and grounds of St John the Evangelist, Ranmoor Park Road, Ranmoor, Sheffield, S10 3GX.

Electoral roll

The role was updated in 2023. Year ending 2023 we had 164 parishioners on the roll. Most of the reduction from previous year were wedding couples who joined the roll and deaths.

Elections

The finance and other reports were presented to the Parish in April 2023 along with the election of Church Wardens. Pauline Heath and Mark Gregory were elected as Church Wardens.

Review of the year

As ever, 2023 was a year of comings and goings. In the summer we said goodbye to Matt Wood and his wife Clare. Matt has been our curate since 2020. He became Rector of Linton, Burnsall and Rylstone in the Ripon Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Leeds on 10th October.

At the beginning of July, the Revd Alison Wragg was ordained priest and we welcomed the Revd Peter Pathkirit Das who was ordained deacon. St John’s is very fortunate to have two curates at the same time. Each one brings different gifts and interests and they enable St John’s to help resource the wider church. We continue to work with St Mary’s Walkley and St Mark’s Broomhill in our Mission Area. At the end of 2023, we welcomed Clare Eaton as our children and families’ worker. Clare has been appointed through the Diocese of Sheffield’s Centenary Project which will help to support her. Clare brings a wealth of experience which will enable us to develop our work with children and families, both within and beyond the church community.

On balance, 2023 has been a year of net gains. Since the pandemic, St John’s has experienced steady growth. We strive to be a welcoming and inclusive church. We also place a strong emphasis on pastoral care. The Lunch Club and Sunday Social continue to flourish. As in other areas of church life, we would love to welcome new volunteers.

Part of the growth of St John’s is due to the flourishing of our music under the direction of Philip Collin. The choir had another successful tour in the summer, this time to Lindisfarne and Newcastle Cathedral. The Christmas Extravaganza with Stannington Brass Band was a great success again and is now becoming an annual tradition.

Work on the church building continues. We are still waiting to hear what remedial work on the spire is necessary but are keen that this should be combined with improvements to our facilities, including the provision of toilets and a refreshment area.

As ever, St John’s strives to be a place of generosity. We continue to support the work of Burngreave Foodbank and give to a number of other charities, including Christian Aid.

There is much to thank God for from 2023, not least the many people who make up our church community and support the life of St John’s in a huge variety of ways.

CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, RANMOOR ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £438,092 on unrestricted funds at the year-end exceeded this target.

Approved by the PCC on 28th April 2024 and signed on their behalf by Reverend Canon Dr Matthew Rhodes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, RANMOOR

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31st December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes, set out on pages 5 to 13.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

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:

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.

CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, RANMOOR

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP 2005.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Restricted funds are those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions are provided in note 9.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Incoming resources

Voluntary income and capital sources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is recognised.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Funds raised by concerts and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross.

Other income

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

Income from investments

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable, and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.

Gains and losses on investments

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.

Resources used

Grants

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Activities directly relating to the work of the Church

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

Fixed assets

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2006 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 1 January 2006 have been capitalised and depreciated in the financial statements over their currently anticipated useful economic life.

7

CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, RANMOOR

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings (continued)

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2006 is written off.

Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

Current assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

11 Related Charity

The administration of the Church is undertaken from the Ranmoor Parish Centre at 5 Ranmoor Park Road, Sheffield S10 3GX. The Ranmoor Parish Centre Trust (RPCT)is a related charity, its objects being to further the religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the ecclesiastical parish of St John the Evangelist, Ranmoor in the Diocese and City of Sheffield. In July 2023 a new charity was set up, named Ranmoor Parish Centre Trust in the form of a Charitable Incorporated organisation (CIO) (charity no 1203685) and over the year the property & assets of the old charitable trust (charity no 511649) were transferred to the new CIO.

In the period April to September 2023 a major project was undertaken to repair the roof and refurbish the 2 upstairs flats of the centre building for the sum of £145,000 plus Vat. The RPCT Trustees had agreed to apply for a mortgage of £160k to fund these works, however, in order to get the works started in April the charity spent £80k of its own resources and then requested short term loans of £105,000 from the Church PCC to progress the work. The Mortgage proceeds of £160k finally came through in November 2023 out of which the loan of £105,000 was repaid with interest at 5.0%.

In the year the RPCT was paid £5,270 (2022 £5,525) for the use of the office and centre facilities by the Church. The gross rental was £8,000 (2022 £6,500), but this is offset by payments from the Lunch Club of £2,730 for use of the centre for the lunches. At 31 December 2023 the RPCT owed the Church £(42) (2022 £2,340) in respect of rental and contribution toward salaries.
