ANNUAL REPORT ON THE YEAR 2024
Aims and Purposes
Christ Church PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. It also has responsibility for the maintenance of the parish church and its ancillary buildings.
Objectives and Activities
Every Anglican parish church is by definition a charity. This charity exists to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the communities of Christ Church Cheltenham. The church is called to make disciples of Jesus, connecting them with God, being community together and showing compassion to others.
Achievements and Performance
There were 190 members on the updated Electoral Roll presented at the APCM in 2024 (2023: 197). During 2024 we had 120 Easter communicants (2023: 142) and 190 Christmas communicants (2023: 333).
Financial Review
The accounts for the year show that during 2024 there was a surplus of income minus expenditure, after gains and losses of £14,835 (2023: deficit of £23,361).
The PCC funds consist of unrestricted funds, including general funds and designated funds, and restricted funds. Designated funds are monies set aside for a particular purpose by the PCC, a decision which they can reverse. The use of restricted funds has been prescribed by the donor and is irreversible.
During the year the designated funds were:
| Youth Work | To support the provision of youth and children’s work at Christ Church. |
|---|---|
| Development (Des) Fund | To provide for repairs, development and re-decoration of the church buildings. |
The Fabric designated fund was not used in the year and has been closed.

The restricted funds were:
| Special Appeals | To support missions and charities. |
|---|---|
| Miss Milne Fund | To provide for lighting the church tower. |
| Friendship Club | To provide a mid-week meal and social activities for its members. |
| Playgroup | To provide a pre-school play group facility in the church halls. |
The restricted Development Fund has not been used in the year and has been closed.
Reserves Policy
Unrestricted reserves are held to help manage short term adverse fluctuations in income or expenditure.
The PCC has a policy of aiming to hold available cash reserves, i.e excluding those backed by tangible assets or which are designated or restricted, in the range from £25,000 to £75,000.
Available cash reserves at 31 December 2024 were £48,050, which is slightly below the midpoint of the range of the PCC policy (2023: £38,049).

VICAR’S REPORT
I am pleased to present the annual report of Christ Church Cheltenham for the year ending 31st of December 2024. This report is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our parishioners, staff, and volunteers who have contributed to our mission, summed up in our strap-line as “get connected, be community and show compassion.”
Looking back on the last twelve months, we are aware of just how blessed we are, even in the face of ongoing challenges. We remain reliant on God’s provision, aware that our unchanging God continues, as the prophet Isaiah suggests, to do a new thing. Innovating and adapting as necessary and being nimble of foot has meant we have been able to change when needed, whilst continuing to engage with both our church and the wider community.
Sunday by Sunday, we gather to worship God. We have tweaked our Sunday provision, introducing a new ‘Community Praise’ service on the fourth Sunday, an informal mix of traditional and contemporary, and regularising Choral Evensong on the second Sunday of the month. Both of these are growing congregations, as we can sense a spiritual hunger in our wider community, a feeling that is shared by many of our sister congregations in Cheltenham.
As we look towards achieving Net Zero at Christ Church, our scheme to add additional solar panels is moving on apace. At the time of writing, the roof of the parish centre is being fully repaired, in preparation for the installation of the panels. We are expecting completion of this project by the sunnier months, and are hopeful that we can take full advantage of the summer - whatever the British weather throws at us.
Last year, we stressed how much we’d like to use our church building more effectively during the week - and we have moved someway towards doing this. Nascent plans to make some significant alterations to the church building are in place, and we hope and pray that this report in twelve months time will speak of there having been a successful project completed.
Having reported a deficit last year, we are happy to report a surplus for 2024. The ebb and flow of church finances does make planning more interesting, but as always God provides through the generosity of our parishioners and supporters. Once again, we are grateful for the ongoing
Page 5

support of so many individuals which allows us to continue doing God’s work here at Christ Church.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to our staff, volunteers, and parishioners for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It is through your efforts that we are able to join others in getting connected to God, being community here and across Cheltenham, and showing compassion to a hurting world.
I am blessed to be a part of this wonderful community, and I look forward to what God will accomplish here at Christ Church in the coming year.
Yours, in Christ
Rev Simon Heron
Vicar of Christ Church Cheltenham

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with general applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom General 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. 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 judgments 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;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2015 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safekeeping the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of Christ Church, Cheltenham for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 9 to 18.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees 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 charity's accounts 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.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I 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 in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity 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.
