Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31st March 2023
The trustees who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015)).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES
Objectives and Claims
The charitable objectives of the company are:
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the work as the Church Council from time to time may think fit.
To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preservice good health by the provision of funds, goods or services or any kind including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time think fit.
To advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit.
Public Benefit
The trustees have considered this matter in conjunction with the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, and have concluded that the aims continue to be charitable, that the aims and activities give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector, that the benefits are for the public and not unreasonably restricted in any way, and that there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims and activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Governance
The church continued to grow both steadily and sustainably. Towards the end of the year Liz Hornal announced she and her husband David were returning to Scotland. While they will be greatly missed, Tim and Virginia Kujiyat had already been approached to join the leadership. This led to a successful transition in leadership.
Programme
Our proramme continued successfully in our food distribution and with the addition of sleeping pods for the homeless. Two pods are located in the rear car park in parnerhip with the Light Project. The DISH provision is growing and proving an excellent resource in the community. The Alpha Course has now been established with a small group bible study. Also the coffee morning is providing a warm space provision in the community. Flourish Women and the Mens Ministry further support people in the life of the church,
This is all in addition to the main Sunday with related activities for youth and children.
Buildings
While we are grateful for the current buildings, with the expected growth, we will have to address the building capacity. Also the limited facilities mean at some point in the future, we will have to look for bigger premises.
Community Benefit
As part of its regular programme, PICC reaches to all ages through its provision for children and youth work and other community provision mentioned above.

Report of the Trustees
For the Year Ended 31st March 2023
In addition, PICC connects to and serves other community organisations and we see this expanding in the future. While a lot of Covid restrictions have been removed, the trustees still proceed with caution to keep everyone safe as possible.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Position
The finance continue to be stable at present.
We are truly grateful for this but like to see increase to establish budgets for more outreach activities.
Investment policy and objectives
The council do not envisage being in a position to make any investments. If the eventuality arose no decisions would be made without written advise from a qualified and suitable professional.
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to build and maintain a reserve of three months operating expenditure cost. It was recognised that the building fund would be separate to this, and in a separate account, to ensure the running of the church and money given into the building project could remain separate.
Trustees Responsibilities
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 charities financial activities during the year and to its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
s select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
s make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
s state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and
-
s prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is in appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
Payment of Directors
Tim Bedward-Jones as the Senior Minister is on the payroll. Other than receipted reimbursable expenses, no other trustee has received payment for services. Tim Bedward-Jones wage is reviewed by a salaries group in conjunction with the AoG salaries guidance for ministers.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act").

-
2) the accounts do not accord with those records, or

3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
