## **TRUSTEE’S REPORT** 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements for the Charity for the year ending 31 December 2024. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objectives of the Charity are achieved by promoting throughout the Ministry Area the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical – within our parish. This includes the following: 

- Conducting regular Christian worship including the Holy Eucharist, marriages, funerals and baptisms; 

- The provision and maintenance of the fabric of the churches, churchyards and associated buildings for which we are responsible; 

- The maintenance of Christian burial places; 

- Promoting the study of Christian teaching, practices and Scripture; 

- The provision of means and encouragement to promote fellowship within the membership of the churches and the wider community; 

- Pastoral care and visiting the sick & dying; 

- Fostering ecumenical links between differing Christian denominations; 

- Supporting the work of other charities. 

In preparing this report, the Ministry Area Council have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. In each decision made, we have sought to weigh up the benefit and/or detriment both for those who join us for public worship within our congregations and those resident in our communities. 

Monies are raised by freewill offertory, fundraising activities and specific appeals. These are used to support the work and administration of the churches and wider mission. Both the Ministry Area, and its constituent local churches, continue to actively increase attendance and develop mission work in the community. Many of those involved in the main functions of the churches are volunteers. The Ministry Area is grateful to all of those who freely give of their time on a voluntary basis. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

During 2024, the East Cardiff Ministry Area continued to develop our plans to grow the mission of the Church across our communities. Our three overarching aims – to _stand for justice_ , to _act with compassion_ and to _walk in faith_ – provide a framework for the achievement of our legal charitable objectives. What follows is a summary of our achievements during this past year. 

## _Stand for Justice_ 

- Continuing to sustain our ‘Open Table’, as an inclusive sacred space for all, especially those who are LGBTQIA+. In June, the community celebrated its first anniversary with a service attended by the Archbishop of Wales. 

- Continuing to administer the ‘Puffins’ project to provide support to local families in need, in partnership with St Teilo’s C/W High School. 

- Running a Lent study group using material from ‘Church Action on Poverty’, to increase awareness of issues of social justice in our local area amongst our congregation members. 

- Gaining Eco-Church awards for five of our six churches, as a result of each congregation auditing their own environmental impact. 

- Raising upwards of £10,000 towards the work of local and global charities and mission projects. 

## _Act with Compassion_ 

- Organising and delivering a number of events open to all, but particularly catering for children and families, including the Easter Eggstavaganza and Summer Event. 

- Arranging a number of successful social events to bring together both volunteers and wider congregation members from across the different churches. 

- Maintaining regular services in three local care homes, to meet the spiritual needs of their residents.

**Accounts 2024** 

## **EAST CARDIFF MINSTRY AREA** 

- Inviting bereaved families from the past year to our ‘All Souls’ services in November. This resulted in increased attendance, but more importantly there were many expressions of thanks for the care shown. 

- Establishing a ‘Gingerbread’ group to provide a supportive community for single parents living locally. 

- Hosting a successful inaugural music festival in July, to showcase musical talent, bring people together and raise money towards MA funds. 

## _Walk in Faith_ 

- Continuing to develop enriching, engaging and accessible liturgy and music across our churches, which resulted in a net increase of 5% in our 2024 regular Sunday attendance, compared to the previous year, and a 30% increase in midweek attendance. 

- Hosting 50 infant baptisms and nine weddings (plus a renewal of vows). These life events services have brought us into contact with approximately 3,000 people, the vast majority of whom are not regular churchgoers. 

- Preparing young people and adults for confirmation, as an opportunity to grow in discipleship and make a faith commitment for themselves. In April, 9 young people were confirmed in a service at St Teilo’s C/W High School. In November, 4 adults were confirmed at St Edeyrn’s. 

- Leading 71 acts of collective worship for over 1,000 local children across six primary schools (four church schools and two LA maintained schools). 

- Successfully applying for the placement of a new Schools Engagement Pioneer to be placed within our team by the Diocese of Monmouth, as part of a new church growth programme. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Annual Accounts for 2024 show a surplus of £54,431, (including a small surplus in unrestricted funds of £15,627). Although this is a significant improvement on 2023, it has only been possible thanks to financial support from the Monmouth Diocesan Board of Finance. This includes deferred payment of Ministry Share when necessary, together with rebates totalling £77,700.  Without this rebate the unrestricted funds would have been in deficit for the year of £62,073, and total funds would have shown a deficit of £23,269.  This illustrates the necessity to continue to review costs and increase unrestricted income in future periods. 

Last year, the trustees agreed a comprehensive ‘Stewardship and Fundraising Plan’, whose progress has been overseen by a small task group. As a result of the plan’s implementation, unrestricted income from Donations and Legacies increased to £150,822 (2023 - £127,827). Meanwhile, unrestricted income from Charitable Activities has increased to £39,894 (2023 – £25,935). A balanced budget for 2025 has been agreed, which sets targets for a further increase in income, alongside some small savings in expenditure where possible. 

Although the Ministry Area has carried forward current assets of £169,875, only £46,753 of these are unrestricted. In addition, a balance of £72,613 (2023 - £98,140) is owed in outstanding Ministry Share to the Diocesan Board of Finance. The Diocese is continuing to support the Ministry Area by deferring payments on the outstanding creditor as required. Accordingly the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The East Cardiff Ministry Area comprises the five churches of All Saints’ Cyncoed, St Augustine Rumney, St Dyfrig Llanrumney, St Edeyrn and St Mellon; and two congregations – All Saints’ Llanedeyrn and St David’s Pentwyn – based in local Church in Wales primary schools. Regular services at St David’s Pentwyn were suspended during 2023 and did not recommence during 2024. 

The Representative Body of the Church in Wales holds the land and property of the Church in Wales, they are an exempt Charity set up under Section 13(2) of the Welsh Churches Act 1914. They act on behalf of the province in paying the stipends of the full-time clergy and administering the Church in Wales’s scheme of gift aid. 

The Ministry Area Council act as Parochial Church Council and Charity Trustees for the entire Ministry Area. It is not a body corporate, and its composition, procedure and powers are regulated by the Constitution of the Church in Wales. Trustees are elected Annually.

**Accounts 2024** 

## **EAST CARDIFF MINSTRY AREA** 

The Licensed Clergy Team currently consists of the Ministry Area Leader (James Henley); three Vicars (Anthony Beer, Rosemary Hill, Marja Flipse) and an Assistant Curate (Tina Parry). Having successfully completed her curacy, The Revd Tina Parry will move on to a new role in the Diocese of Truro at the end of July 2025. Day-to-day operations are delegated to the clergy team, assisted by volunteers. 

The Ministry Area has administration support of an Administrator who is employed part-time by the Ministry Area. Support for bookkeeping and other assorted administrative tasks is received from the Diocese of Monmouth Ministry Area Support Team. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** 

Trustees are appointed to the Ministry Area Council as provided for by our Standing Orders, and as provided for by Chapter 4C of the Constitution of the Church in Wales: 

The _ex-officio members_ include clergy licensed and appointed by the Bishop of Monmouth, as well as two Churchwardens. At the Annual Vestry Meeting, each year one Churchwarden is appointed by the Ministry Area Leader, and the other is elected or re-elected each year by the lay members of the Ministry Area’s Electoral Roll. 

The _elected members_ are elected or re-elected by the Annual Vestry Meeting, with two members representing each church in the Ministry Area. 

The _co-opted members_ are appointed by the Ministry Area Council, to contribute particular skills or expertise that the trustees feel would be beneficial to the overall governance of the Ministry Area. 

The trustees are provided with ongoing training and guidance in the fulfilment of their responsibilities and legal obligations throughout the year by the Ministry Area and the Church in Wales. They are also requirement to undertake the relevant Church in Wales safeguarding training. Trustees with specific responsibilities (eg. chair, treasurer, safeguarding officer) are provided with additional Diocesan support in the fulfilment of these duties. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The policy of the Ministry Area Council is to make use of restricted funds wherever possible, particularly in relation to expenditure on the maintenance, repair and development of church buildings and other property. Over the long term, the trustees aim to return to a surplus budget and increase the charity’s unrestricted reserves, which can be made available to deal with any unforeseen or unplanned events as and when they arise. 

Historic legacies and bequests made to the churches are held in the form of shares in the Representative Body of the Church in Wales (RBCiW) Common Investment Fund. According to the investment policy of the RBCiW, these are couched in a balanced range of investments, in order to achieve a healthy and secure return. These investments are held for the long-term to use in accordance with requirements of the original donations.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE EAST CARDIFF MINISTRY AREA** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 23. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

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).  The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

- I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts and it is my responsibility to: 

   1. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act, 

   2. follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 

   3. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

**EAST CARDIFF MINSTRY AREA** 

**Accounts 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The accounts are prepared under the historic cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investments to fair value in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): '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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' As a charity, the church is a Public Benefit Entity (PBE) within the meaning of FRS102. 

In accordance with the exemptions available in the SORP (FRS102), the Ministry Area has not prepared a cashflow statement. 

The accounts presentation is in line with the requirements of the Annual Financial Return to Monmouth Diocesan Board of Finance.  Some of these differ from the format and disclosure requirements of the SORP (FRS102) because, in the opinion of the PCC, the format adopted best represents the activities of the church. 

The Ministry Area is a multi-church parish comprising, All Saints’ Cyncoed, St Edeyrn’s  St Dyfrig’s Llanrumney, St Augustine’s Rumney and St Mellons, together with two congregations – All Saints’ Llanedeyrn and St David’s Pentwyn – based in local Church in Wales primary schools. Regular services at St David’s Pentwyn were suspended during 2023 and did not recommence during 2024. 

- The key accounting estimates used in the preparation of the accounts are: - the estimated useful life of fixed assets 

   - recoverability of debts. 

The Ministry Area has total carried forward current assets of £169,875, but only £46,753 of these are unrestricted. The total unrestricted funds show a deficit of £9,769 which includes a balance of £72,613 owed in outstanding Ministry Share to the Diocesan Board of Finance. Of this balance there was a reduction to £41,613 following the final quarter payment in early January 2025.  In order to reduce the deficit, the budget for 2025 is based on a breakeven overall budget, utilising restricted funds for maintenance, mission and other activities where appropriate so that there is a surplus on unrestricted funds for 2025.  The Diocese is continuing to support the Ministry Area by deferring payments on the outstanding creditor as required.  Accordingly the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that the charity will be able to continue its operations for at 12 months from the date of approval for the accounts. 

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). 

## **Accruals accounting** 

All income is credited gross on the date on which it is received, or when it due and can be reasonably estimated. All expenditure is fully accrued based on the date that the liability has arisen. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.  Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for a particular specific purpose.

**Accounts 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)** 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Tangible Fixed Assets are not capitalised if they relate to the repairs or improvements to consecrated Churches as the ownership of these buildings resides with The Representative Body of Wales. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes original purchase price plus any costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as and where intended. 

Depreciation is provided rates in order to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its estimated useful life.  Depreciation is provided on equipment at the annual rate of 15% and 25% reducing balance in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.  The organ is depreciated on a straight line basis at 10% per annum.

## **Accounts 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)** 

## **INCOME** 

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

The following specifies the policies applied and the main types of income that are included within the particular categories of incoming resources: 

## **Collection** 

The Ministry Area received its main income from the Direct Giving of its Parishioners and there are three main categories of this direct income: 

- Gift Aided envelope which is remitted either by the use of a specially designed red envelope at a Church Service offertory collection, by direct payment to the Benefice Covenant Secretary or credited direct by bank transfer to the Benefice Covenant Bank Account. 

- Casual Gift Aided contributions which are enclosed in the newly designed envelopes, which are signed and handed in at a Church Service offertory collection. 

- Cash - offertory collections at a Church Service. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met 

## **Legacies** 

Legacies are included in the SOFA when the receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. 

## **Tax reclaims on donations, gifts and legacies** 

Gift aid receivable is included in income where there is a valid declaration from the donor and is recognised in the period when the original donation is made and the claim can be calculated.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered is considered to be part of the original donation and as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## **Income from interest and dividends** 

The benefice has two main sources of investment income and is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount received can be measured reliably: 

- Surplus cash resources are invested in Bank Deposits 

- Trust Fund capital is invested in the Common Investment Fund, which is a Managed Fund under the control of the Representative Body of the Church in Wales. This is an income producing account with a Capital growth potential. The Benefice Churches involved received a quarterly income payment from the Representative Body. 

## **Investment gains and losses** 

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year 

## **Volunteer help** 

The value of any voluntary help is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees annual report.

**Accounts 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)** 

## **EXPENDITURE** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT which is not recoverable as the organisation is not VAT registered. 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. The charity has creditors which are measured at the amounts due in settlement. 

## **TAX** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax. 

## **SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS** 

The majority of income and expenditure is based on cash movements through the bank account.  There are therefore limited judgements made in the overall accounts.  These judgements include: 

- an estimate of the useful life of tangible fixed assets 

- estimates of expenditure incurred, but not yet billed at the time of the accounts 

- recoverability of debts 

A key judgement area is ensuring that the allocation of expenditure to individual restricted funds is in accordance with the terms of that specific fund.

Included within the Maintenance of Churches for 2023 was a significant renovation project – the Centenary Project – at All Saints Cyncoed.  The project involved the demolition of the church hall, repairs to the roof and fabric of the church, new stained glass windows, equipment and a new organ.  The project expenditure included in 2023 in the income and expenditure account was £134,599 of which £78,734 was spent using restricted funds which are viewed to be repairs to a consecrated Church and have therefore not been capitalised plus another £28,019 of expenditure paid last year and now written off as the project completed.   The amounts have not been capitalised as the expenditure relates to repairs to the All Saints Church.  In addition a further £41,000 (£3,557 restricted) was spent on equipment additions including the new organ for All Saints church which has been capitalised – note 9. 

## **3 MAINTENANCE OF MINISTRY AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

To fund the provision of Ministry, the Ministry pays a “Parish Share” to the Diocese. This Parish Share was split and allocated between each church as agreed within the Area.  This previously resulted in amounts due to and from the various churches.  However, in 2019 it was agreed to write off all these historical balances within the area, so that the total amount due to the diocese is combined for the area.  In 2021 the individual churches were unable to completely pay their allocation of the parish share to the area, so the balance was again written off.  In 2023 and 2024 the amounts due from each individual church to the area have been charged and retained in the individual church accounts, although in total this has no effect on the amount due from the diocese to the area as a whole. 

The total charge for Parish Share for the Area was £148,158 (2023 - £155,185). 

During the year the area received a rebate for the parish share from the diocese of £77,700 (2023 - £15,000). 

The total amount outstanding from the area due to the diocese at the year end (as per note 12) was £72,613 (2023 - £98,140).
