The PCC presents Its report with the Accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Princlpal Artivities and Goveming Documents
The principal actiwty in the year under review was that of a Parochial Church Council to a Church of
England Parish Church. The Churth of En8land and its parishes are "exempted charities" The PCC
(Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC °is to Co-operate with the minister in promotin8 in the
parish the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistlc, social, and ecumenical".
Objectlves and Artlvities
St. Chad's Church 15 the ParSsh Church of Chadwell Heath and, as such. we believe that we have
splrltual, moral, and 50cial responsibilityto the 44,000 resldents of Chadwell Heath. An example of how
we achieve this would be how St Chad's worked with the local Covncll as a communlty hub during the
pandemlc, but our lon8er-temi vision is to be so much more, especially to reach out to the older and
more lonely members of our soclety. With this in mind. St Chad's Is heading towards the end of the
first sta8e of a vision plan that has already seen us expand and grow in many different ways.
At the end of 2021, WÈ 501d our Ilttle-used property"Somerville Hall., with the sole intention of ralsing
sufficlent capltaS resources to renovate our church bullding to enable It to be utilised durlng the week
by more local groups, and at weekends for concerts etc, and also to construct a new, purpose bult, café
area at the front of the church. Much of 2023 was spent in finallsing archltert's drawlngs and Ilalslng
wlth Mossford's, the construrtion firm that we are u51ng for the project. Work has started and by the
end of 2023 the renovation of the thurch building was well under way. The footin8s for the café area
are In place and various "pre<onstructlon testin￿ has taken place to ensure that the exlsting
framework Is sultable for the proposed work {It Isl and to ensure things such as asbestos are not
present {they aren't). We have continued to Ilaise with heatin& lightin& and audio-visual experts, to
ensure that at the end of the project we have a fit-for-purpose buildln8. The under-floor heatin8 is now
in place and the new Iloor has been screed. with the new wooden floor to be laid once work in the
church is completed. Electrical Ivork is well underway and MossFord's are ft)recastln8 completlon of
the church by the summer. The thurch buildin￿S extemaS brick and stonework was cleaned and
repaired in early 2023. We antlclpate that the work on the refurbishment of the church building will
be completed by summer 2024, with the new café annexe completed In time to open in September
2024.
Our governance during this time has been strengthened by the continuing work of competent people
working in key roles, speclfically Colin Gilchrist, who has worked tirelessly with our accountant. Klm
Lee, to brin8 the church's finances into a much2dearer position. Deirdre Maguire and Colin now
oversee

our Payroll, which runs very efficiently. Paullne Loomes continues to hold the church hub together by
running the church office with efficiency. Bob Crowther. Churchwarden and SLT member. has worked
with Martin throughout the sale of Somerville Hall and the building project. Many other members of
the church family voluntarlly contribirte their time in many ways, but specific mention should be made
of Alan Hardin& Julian Cartwright, Ray Loomes, and Neil Welsby, who work hard to repair, renovate,
and tidy the church buildings and surrounding area, including a large project undertaken In 2022 and
continuing into 2023 to clear the overgrown areas surrounding the buildings. Thi5 has certainly made
it easier for Mossford's to work on the church buildln& Paul Quelch. our verger. is frequently on site
to help to set up for Services and funerals, and to act as keyholder when our hall is beln8 used.
Plans for the vision for the expansion of what St Chad's can provlde to Its community remain in place,
as discussed at our leadership team -away daf in 2022. The vision covers what our next fwfryear plan
ml8ht Ii)ok Ilke, wlth primary focus bein8on the use of the revltalised church building and the new café.
That will be a greater work for next year but our Senlor Leadership Team (SLTI and leaders of St. Chad's
Team (up to 24 people who head up the wide variety of mlnistries that we offer) meet regularly to
dlscuss areas of growth and how we mi8ht overcome Ilmiting factor5 that our teams fate, wlth a view
to support the PCC as It continues our church's forward momentum. (The SLT act as a Standing
Committee and meet wlth greater frequency when a need arlsesl.
Achlevernent5 and performance In the year
In tenns of the implementatlon of our vlsion document reviewed in 2016, the fivevyear plan has been
extended due to the disruption of the covid￿0CkdOwn years and will be further reviewed when the
bulldin8 project is nearing completlon, which will be before the summer of 2024. Over the past five
years, we have made progress In the following ways:
Families, Children and Youn8 People
A few years ago, St. Chad's Church was able to secure two sourtes of funding for essential roles WFthin
our church and the communlty". Children and Families Worker, and Children and Young People's
worker. Regrettably, since that grant fundin8 ended St Chad's has had to make the hard decislon not
to retain thÈse two roles. a5 we could not afford to fund them from our own finances. Due to the
continuing impact of Covid lockdown and the current closure of our thurch. we do not have the footfall
or church membership that we once had. Naturalty, we will seek further funding once we have a better
understanding of what facllltles will be available, and how this will impact on the growth of our
worshipping community.

Belinda and Ella's work with our youn8 people has laid solid foundations on Ythich we have been able
to build. Martin and Julie Court havetemporarily tsken overthe children and young people's ministries
until fvrther funding can be found. Martin works with the youth and has gathered a strong team
together to help run the youth club. He also currently undertakes our schools, work. Julie has similarly
bu1￿ a good team to support children's work. particularly our Sunday school and numbers have already
started increasing on Sunday momings. Julie has also reinstated our craft morning sessions, a monthly
family session for children up to 11 years old. Having only taken over this work in the autumn, Julie ran
two sessions at the end of 2023 with a total of 77 thildren attending with their families. There Is a real
need for this engagement in Chadwell Heath, and St Chad's church is well placed and resourced to
5UPPOrtfamilies in this way.
Sparkles
Sparkles offers a weekly dropln session for antenatal parents, bables up to around 15 months, and
thelr parents and carers, and this year celebrated 6 years of workingwith local families. Sparkles offers
a8e-approprlate play, modellin8 communicattons skills, parentlcarer support, hot drinks and snack5, a
slnglngtime with instruments, and most of all a time to meet with other families. Sparkles also has an
onllne 8roup that parents use to meet up, donate clothes, toys, and equlpment, and move onto the
"alumni" which is thrivin8. There are 4 regular volunteers who liaise with the borou8h and deanery
5ervlces, usln8 tralnlng OPPOrtunlties for matters such as mental health/paediatric first aid, and
borou8h safe haven.
Little Chadders
Llttle Chadders lour Mums and Tots, weekly se55ionl continue5 to meet. currently usln8 the facilities
at the East Road Baptlst church due to a lack of space in our own premise. It is anticipated that Little
Chadders will return to our own building once the renovations have been completed in time for
September 2024. This group is staffed entirely by volunteers and is headed up by Dierdre MaÈuire, who
also works with our Preschool. Little Chadders is anotherway In which we are able to joumey with local
families, benefiting them in many ways and makin8 deeper connections wrth our neighbours. It
currently supports about 12 families and we hope that those numbers will increase when we return to
our own larger premises.
Pre-school
Our Pr&School remains a Breat outreach for the community and has grown from mornings only
sessions to now offering full day sessions, which include a lunch club.

The Pre-school works closely with Barking and Dagenham Early Years Advisory Team and the work of
the Pre-school goes beyond the chlldren, as Kath Childs. Sian Cox and their team continue to support
parents and carers in many ways.
Currently St Chad's Pre-school has 12 members of staff: 2 Mana8Èrs/SENCo'5, 1 Finance Mana8er, 5
Key persons, l Lunch dub lead. 2 Support workers and l Bank staff and currently supports 2 members
of staff through apprenticeships Level 2 and 3.
3 staff are on an Early Years Professional L)evelopment programme run by the government. The
manager 15 currently studying for her Level 3 SENCO qualificatlon, and the Deputy is studying to be the
Maths Champion. They a150 have 2 staff mernbers who have jurt joined Talking fime training run bv
Best Prartice Network. All staff have recently complete Paediatric First Ald.
There are currently 29 children on roll. 21 of the chlldren have additional needs which Include Speech
and Language delay, Emotional and Wellbeing difficulties and several have a formal dlagnosis of Autism
Spertrum Condition.
Due to the hlgh level of thildren with additional needs. the Early Years Alliance Special Education Need5
team chose St Chads, Prfrschool to be given extra SEN money to buy equipment for our settlng to
SUPPOrt the SEN chlldren and enhance their experiences In their learnlng and development. From the
money given, Pre-school has been able to purchase an indoor and outslde climbln8 frame, squeeze
machine, cosy areas, actlvity table5. trampoline, and book area. Prtrschool has also been able to
purchase equipment to equip thelr new sensory room whith will be in the church hall Prayer room.
Pre-school has also supported families in many ways suth as directin8 them to local food banks,
direttin8 them to the local SEND offer and referrin8 familles to Early Help.
Communlty use of our facllltles
St. Chad's continues to partner with local 8roups that assist and extend the health and wellbein8 of our
local population. We provide space for groups such as an Irish Dancing group, a Youth dance school,
and sports groups like Pilates, Table Tennis. and Karate. We are also home to 2 other churches for
occasional services and to our local Guides Group which has grown since relocating from a smaller hall
to our larger slte, now also Tunnin8 a Rangers group.
The Ward Panel Neighbourhood Watch use our church hall for monthly meetings.
We also provide for the community throu8h the regular hosting of Jumble Sales and Festival Markets
such as our Christmas Market, a5 well as the occasional summerfete, and quizzes.

Worshlp
St. Chad's considers itself to be a worshipping community and thls has continued as our ethos this year.
Christine Brown is a very accomplished musician and worship leader and continuesto lead our worship
at our 10.45 service with enthusiasm.
Philip F05ter. our diolmiaster. is an equally accomplished musician and plays the organ at our 9 AM
services. Philip also plays trombone with the Pavilion Brass Band. who provide music at our
Remembrance and Carol services.
Our Tech Team,, led by Graham Wallis. continues to add to our Sunday services through their
knowledge and skills, includln8 the live streaming of our 10.45 se￿iCe5. These are regularly viewed bv
up to 60 people within 24 hours of the servlce belng streamed, and often up to a 100 people within
the next few weeks- reaching many parts of the UK on a regular basis and. literally, worldwide when
our church members are on holiday. Thls 5treamln8 has cont•nued now that services have moved Into
the church hall and as part of the discussions around the church refurbishment we are lookin8 at how
we can further develop thi5 part of how we deliver our services.
Prayer and Pastoral Care
Our prayer mlnlstry team was competentty headed up by Joy Blackwood untll very recently, when we
sadly lost Joy to cancer. The team is stlll very active offering prayer at our ma5n Sunday serrfice, as well
as runnlng a prayer support WhatsApp 8roup. Thisjolns very closety vhth our Welcome Team, headed
up by Julle Cllst, which continues to do much more than just welcome people on a Sunday. It also goes
hand-in-hand with our pastoral ministry, which is headed up by our Associate Minlster, Rev Christine
Harding. She. with her team, or8anise home and hospital visits, as well as supporting people with other
pastoral needs. She and the team offer prayer minlstry and counselling to anyone in need. both those
in and outside of our regular churd) family. This intludes visits to nursing homes and homes for the
elderly. Rev Elwon John remained with us until Septemberon temporary placement and he has assisted
Christine with our pastoral 0￿reath. Together with our prayer ministry team and our welcome team,
this three pron8ed approach towards individual care and support really does allow St Chad's to show
Christ's love to anyone in need.

Evangelism
Much of evangelism and pastoral care is encompassed in our other church activities, especially in our
outreach to the wider community.
Rev Kate Szejnmann, our curate, ran a wonderful Lent course based on the muslcal West Side Story.
which led us to our Holy Week celebrations. be8inn4ng with our children'5 Palm Sunday service. This
was followed by our Maundy Thursday service. before joining With other local churches for a Walk of
Witness and an outdoor ecumenical service on good Friday. That was followed by our own Hour at the
cross reflective service. Leading up to Easter we also handed out easter e88s on the High Road, and
this all culminated in a wonderful Easter Day celebration at both of our Sunday services.
Similarly, our Christmas is multi-faceted. Across the year we ask people to knit, sew, or crochet
particular designs wlth a view to them becoming Christmas tree decorations. This year we made bells
and themed our Chrlstmas arOUnd"Rin￿.ng Out God's 8lorf. Thls year, we hung a total of 1,667 bells,
each wlth a Christmas message attached and each taken by members of the public wlthin 24 hours. As
wlth previous years, our local schools wrote to us to say how much their children and their families
enjoyed the experlence of being welcomed to school with many bells displayed on their school 8ate,
Just waltlng for them to be taken to a new home. We also get a 8reat response from the publlc both In
person and via Facebook, Several people commentlngon how the decoration has connected with them
personally.
Our Youth ralsed over £947 for Stand By Me by sleeping on thelr floors for a week, the ralsed funds
used to help disadvantaged children overseas.
St. Chad's holds a vision that uses our'soft touch, activities to enable us to reach out to support peoplÈ
In deep ways. Examples of this would be our 'Coffee SIK>P' whlch. under the management Debbie
Karlettis, continues to grow and acts like a handshake to local people, inviting them in and makin8
them aware of the things we do as a church. This will extend further outreach once our community
café is completed. Our Mature Companions Club {MCC) headed up by our Associate Minister, Rev
Christine Hardin& whlch is at capacity, similarly provides opportunity for us to meet people in a relaxed
settln8 and 'get to know them, and due to demand has had to increase to three Wednesdays a month.
The MCC team provides care and support through the lunch club, breakin8 i501ation and offerlng
friendship to elderly residents. We have spoken with local leaders from Age UK and are hoping to
partner with them when our buildings have been renovated. Age UK currently do not work in Barking
& Dagenham due to lack of facilities and volunteer staff. We can provide both of those. We also ran a

variety of ad hoc events such as our Motherfs Union Cream Tea that attract people from outstde of our
church family. Whilst a(Xivities such as our Sparkles group offers overt care. these more relational
groups enable people to aC￿sS greater support as those relationships build. We absolutely expect this
to expand when our new café is opened.
Our addictlon 8roup {Cocaine Anonymous- a branch of AA.) continues to thrive.
This year we have a8ain run 'Restored LIV￿ a divorce and relationship support group headed up by
lain Torrance.

Committees: The PCC has ￿'Ven tlme to extend and develop the sub-committees, in order to involve
more people. including both PCC members and other church members, to increase resilience and
improve succession. In this way we are less dependent on particular individuals.
The following sub<ommittees exist to a5515t the PCC:
Senior Leadershlp Team: Thls team Is both an accountability team for the incumbent but also a
sounding l>oard for the leader where strategic issues have time to be thought through. The team has
no legal power but is instrumental in helping the incumbent to assess and dlscern where certain
aspects/ministries￿o61st1cs of the church are and help to plan towards the collective vision of the
church. Members of the team bring experience of Bankin& Administration, and H.R. management. This
team conslsts of: Martln Court (Senior Leader), Christine Harding (Associate Minister), Julie Court, Bob
Crovrther (Church Warden and Wice Chair of the PCC), and R05anne Baptiste.
Standing Commlttee., This15 the only commlttee requlred by law. tt has the power to transact the
buslness of the PCC between Its meetings. subject to any directions given by the Council. This group
consists Martin Court (Chairl, Christlne Harding {Assoclate Mlni5ter) Bob Cro¥V(her {Vice Chalr and
Church Warden) Julle Court, Rosanne Baptiste.
Leadership Team: Thi5 comprises the people who head up our mlnlstrles and actlvities Sn the church
and those who hoSd senior leadershlp posts. It meets to discuss church matters and plan towards the
future. It is also a meeting for collectNe learning and the growth in our leadership Skills. People on this
team include: Martln Court {Senior Leader), Julie Court, Christine Harding {Assoclate Mlnisterl, Bob

Rosanne Baptiste, and Sue Wells.
Deanery Synod.. Three members of the church Sit on the deanery synod - Luclnda Crowther, Paul
Quelch and Alan Hardin& and they also attended PCC meetings. This provides the PCC with an
important Ilnk between the parlsh and the wider structures of the church. Martin Court is the Area
Dean and Chair of the Deanery Synod.
The Electoral Roll.. Pauline Loomes is our Electoral Roll Officer. Details with regards to our Electoral Roll
can be found in the full APCM Report.

Llmiting Factors
St. Chad's Church is constrained In the ministry activity it seeks to achieve by our buildings. We have
limited space to provide for the things we know we could realistically athieve from our vision. Our
buildings are aging and ilPequipped for the twenty-first century and we are currently committed to a
large-scale renovation and revbuilding of our available spaces which will help us realise our potential
to be much more of a communlty centre for Cha(hvell Heath. These plans are coming to fruition and
WÈ fulty expect the building works for the churth and the new annexe to be completed by the summer
of 2024.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteer5 who work so hard to make our church the lively and vlbrant
communlty it Is. This would include (but Is not an exhaustive Ilst) people who help with our church
services {providin£ fiowers, polishlng the vessels, cleanin8 altar cloths etc), those who help with our
jumble sales and the Chrtstmas market, those who asslst with the on-going runnin& malntenance and
refurbishment of our properties, and those who asslst with the many voluntsry roles that provlde
5UPPOrt in our community, intludin8 the St Chad's coffee shop (the Sunshine Café) and the Mature
Companions Club.
Flnanclal revlew
The PCC Is responslble for keeplng proper accountlng records which dtsclose with reasonable atturacy
at any time the financial position of the thurch. and which ensure that the financlal statements complv
with the Charities Act 1993 and the regulations issued in 1995 and 2(KIO, revised in 2005. Thls report
has been produced accordin8 to guidance dated 2LX)6 Issued by the Archbishop's Councll of the Church
of England. The PCC is responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other Irregularities.
Taxation Status: The PCC is an exempt tharity for taxation purposes as a church defined as a place of
worship under the Place of Worship Act 1855.
The financlal activities of the PCC are set out in the attached financlal statements. but key item5 of note
are:
Broadly speaking. receipts from within the church family {direct g*ving} remained similar to those of
2022 with a small incTease of £1,018 throughout the year. Plate givin& including that throu8h the Gift
Aid "yellow envelope" scheme. increased by £1.346.
io

Total receipts of voluntary funds {includin8 gift aid but ignoringon&off grants and specific 8tfts towards
the Youth Leaderl was £111,469. with additional income from jumble sales, bank interest, hall lettin&
coffee shop etc of £34,934 bringing our total income lexcludtng preschool) to £146.403.
What should be noted is that as interest rates rose, the amount that Barclays bank paid us on our
deposit of the sale of proceeds of Somerville hall increased. This resulted in an increase in our income
of £9,911, or £7.861 more than 2022.
Our preschool also had an increase in thelr Intome. £23,824 8reater than the income in 2022. Without
these two "extra" sources of incorne (compared to last year) we would doubtless have had to use our
reserves to meet our essential expenditure.
We undertook a glft day specificallyforour Youth Leaderfs salary whilst we attempted to obtain a grant
that would enable us to support her going forward. This amounted to approximately £10,000, but we
were unsuceessful in securin8 further grant monies and Belinda's contract was terminated when the
fvnds were depleted.
In terms of outgoings. we again met our Parish share of £62,843 In full, albeit that thls was a 20%
Increase on 2022's figure. To put this Into perspectlve. our income from planned glvln8 by standlng
order and the envelope pled8e stheme was £65,587, and so we are heavily rellant on -otherf income
to support our ministry, our staff costs, our administration and utility bllls, and any other expenditure.
Expenditure on unrestrlcted funds Iwhlch excludes presthool costs) was £148,837, which 8ives a good
Indlcation of the "cost of running St Chad'<, albeit in 2024 our salary costs will be less now that we
have no employed Youth Leader.
As the amount of money on deposit decreases in line with capital expenditure on the church
refurbishment, naturally our income from bank interest will reduce. It will, therefore, be essentlal that
the communlty café becomes a source of net income in order for St Chad's to continue to operate
without a deficit.
Reserves pollcy
It Is the PCCS objectlve to set aside funds each year to maintain a balance on free reserrfes (net current
assets) which equates to at least three Month￿ unrestricted pa￿ents. This would be equivalent to
£37,209 and would be held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emer8encies. Over the
past few years. this has not been possible due to the reduction of income followin8 the closure of
Somerville Hall {which has resulted in a reduction in rental income of approximately £15,(hJO per year,
li

and whilst the sale proceeds generated exceeded £lm these funds a specifically designed for the
building works).
To a certaln extent, St Chad's is still recovering from lockdown and our church attendance in 2023 is
again lower than prevlockdown numbers. We have also had some families move away from the area,
so whllst income has dropped from those Sour￿5, it is encouraging that overall direct giving ha5
changed little, meaningthat the donations lost have been replaced. That only returns us to a relatively
neutral position and with the increases in utility cost5, it is not possible to build up our reserves any
further. We remain reliant on the succes5 of our preschool to approach anything close to°break even".
That said, we fully expect that after the capital expense of refurbishing the thurch and building the
new café, we will see a si8nificant increase in our income, albeit with a proportional increase in
expenditure, and in light of this we can review our reserves Position towards the end of 2024.

under the Charities Act2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing
the individual accounts of PCCS and with the Regulations. "true and fair vievf provisions. They have
been prepared under FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of
the Statement of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reportin8 by Charlties
{SORPIFR5102)1.
The financlal statements have been prepared underthe historical cost convention exceptfor Investment
assets which are shown at market value. The financial ststements include all transactions, assets and
liabilities for which the PCC is responsible by law. They do not include the accounts of church groups
that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
b. Fund accounting
Funds held by the PCC are:
Unrestrlrtedfvnds are income funds whlch are to be spent on the PCCS 8eneral purposes.
Deslqnated fvnds are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future. Project funds are
designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Funds designated a5 invested In
fixed assets for the PCCS own use are abated in line with those assets, annual depreciatk*n charge5 In
the SOFA Designated fvnds rernaln unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general
funds.
Restrlrtedfvnds comprlse la} income from trusts or endowments which Is to be expended only on the
restricted purposes intended by the donor and (b) revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC
actlvlty intended by the donor. Any balance ￿maInIng unspent at the end of the year is carried foNard
as a balance on that fund.
Incomlng Resources
Voluntory Income
Collections are reco8nised when received.
Planned giving receiving is reco8nised only when received.
Income tax recoverable on Grft Aid donations is recognised when the income Is retognlsed.
Grant5 and legacies are reco8nised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due.
Divldends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as thev
accrue.
All Other Income
All other income is recognised when it is receivable.
d. Resources Used
Resources expended are accounted for on an acuuals basis and are accounted for gross, apart from
independent reviewerfs remuneration and accountancy and 8rants and donations which are accounted
for when paid over, or when rewarded where the award creates a binding obli8ated on the PCC.
16

Support cost5 are apportioned to activitles in proportion to the estimated proportion of time spent on
those attivities by the Parish Adminlstratlon.
Church Artivitle5
The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when patd. Any parish contribution unpaid at 31
December is provided for in these accounts as an operational {though not a legall liability and is shown
as a credFtor in the balance sheet.
Flxed Assets
Consecrnted and benefice pmperty, in so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is
excluded from the statutory definition of 'charitV by Section 10121(a) and {c) of the Charities Act 2011
such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
Moveable churchfvrnlshing. held by the Wicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC
and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated.
They are listed in the church's Inventory which can be inspected lat a reasonable timel. For inalienable
property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore, such
assets are not valued In the accounts. Items acquired since 1st January 20￿ have been capitalised and
depreciated on a straight-llne basis in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic
life.
Other Bulldlngs, propertles are included In the accounts at valuation. The PCC reviews the valuation
annually, and any permanent impairment in value is transferred to the SOFA. No depreciation is
charged on these buildin8s as, in the view of the PCC, the estimated useful life is so long that any charge
would be Immaterfal.
Other Assets. equipment used within the churth premise5 With a purchase price exceedin8 £l,OLX) is
capitalised. Indlvldual items of equipment with a purchase prlce of £I,1J￿ or less are written off when
the asset is acquired.
Depreclatlon, is provided at the following rates to write off flxed assets over their useful lives. In
addition, an annual impairment review is carried out, and where appropriate the carrying value of an
asset is reduced to the higher of net realisable value and recoverable value throu8h continued use.
Church furnishings
5% stralght line, 20 years
Furnlture. ffttin8s. and office equipment
33% straight line, 3 years
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is
not less than their carrwng value and the remaining useful like of these assets currently exceeds 50
years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out at
each year*nd and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year.
f. Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC as at 31 December in respect of fees. rents or other income are shown as
debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
8. Going Concern
The church is able to pay tts liabilities as they fall due. has no si8nificant contingent liabilities or post
balance sheet events that would contradict this vlew and has wfficient reserves to continue to operate
for at least 12 months from the si8nature date of these accounts.
