Trustees Report Objects of the charity The purpose of the charity, as stated is "promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church" pastoral, evangelistic and ecumenical, and to provide public benefit through the provision of "free regular public worship open lo all" The Parish of Aston and Nechells seeks to °show and share the love of Jesus" to everyone in the Parish regardless of age, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation. Additionally, beyond the parish we provide gifts to support the wider rnission of the church in this country and overseas. Summary of the charity's maln aclivities and achievements How our activlties deliver public benefit and who has benefitled. Public worship takes place mainly at thfee sites across the parish.. at Aston Parish Church on Saturdays (Asian Fellowship, bilingual serwice) and Sundays {morning)' at St James Aston on Sundays, and monthly at st Matthew's Community Hall on Wednesdays. Special services take place at festival times for example our very well attended Carols by Candlelight, Remembrance Day, Somme Sunday, in partnership with Aston Churches Together and Nechells Christian8. Weekday prayers take place at Aston Parish Church on Mondays, and Sl Matthew's and St James on Tuesdays. We run a youlh group which meets fortnightly during term time. Prayer takes place in term time at our two church schools: weekly at st Matthew's and fortnightly at St Clement's. The current worshipping community across our congregations is around 100 people, including a number who are unable to attend church on a regular basis due to health COnrnS or vulnerability. Th8 activities of the parish would not take place without significant contribution from volunteers- over fifty people are involved to ensure that the church is able to run them. As well as using our buildings ourselves, we also havè a numb8r of tenants across our three sites. We seek to use our buildings to further the mission of the church and to bless the local Gommunilies of the parish. Sl James hosts the Aston Pre-school whiGh provides education for pre- schoolers in the area. St Matthew's hosts the Aston and Nechells Foodbank, 211 Scouts, and church congregations. Aslon Parish Church hosts our Brownies and Guides and St Mary's Eritrean Orthodox congregation. We also have a number of one-off bookings from members of the local community. 2025 saw replament of the single glazed windows at St James, with double glazed windows as well as OLtr 5 yearly Electrical Inspections at St James, Aston Parish Church and the Aston Parish Church Centre. All remedial work was completed in both churches and the church centre. In addition, the lighting in the Church centre was replaced with LED lighting and emergency lighting was put in. We are grateful for the Minor repairs and Environmental Quick Wins grants that enabled the LED lighting work at the Church Centre and the double glazin9 at St James. The Parish runs regular enquirer groups, such as Alpha and Startl The parish also hosts schools and other groups who come to learn about the Christian faith and to learn about the history and heritage of the church buildings and congregations. Working together with Aston Churches Together and Nechells Chrlstians the parish is involved in Good Friday Walks of Witness, Christmas Carols at Tesco, and Christmas Carols at the Villa ground. The parish also seeks to connect with the large numbers of Villa fans who pass Ihe church regularly. Fans are invited to a Carol service before the last home game before Christmas Peio
and the chUh is open before any Good Fridayl Holy Salurday matches wlth the opportunity to follow a prayer trail artd learn about the heritage of the churGh. The PCC, staff and clergy regularly review the activities of the parish, looking at the success of each key activity, assessing the benefits lo those attending, and planning future activities accordingly. Reference has been made to the Charily Commission's general guidance on public benefit. In planning the activities, the trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. Structure, Governance and Management Future Plans The Parish of Aston and Nechells exists to worship God, love one another and share the good news of Jesus in word and action. Looking to the future, we are continuing to review and develop our vision for this next stage in Ihe life of our parish. This will include r6viewing how worship is led, growing new leaders, growing opportunities to get to know one another better and support one another, and looking at how we reach out with the good nèws of Jesus lo the local community. We are exploring whether we can widen our youth provision and, also, the possibility of setting up a warm spacel welcome space. We are reviewing how we use our buildings to further mission and benefit the community and are in conversation with a potential longer-term hirer who would be providing seNices to the local community. We are also reviewing our governance structures to ensure th8 best fit for our current and future needs. Throughout 2025 we have continued to implement recommendations from the 2023 flnance review and have made good progress. The 2026 budget includes a number of special projects including some carpet replacement at st James and upgrading the disabled toilet in the Aston Parish Church Centre. In 2026 we will receive the Quinquennial In$pedion report on Aston Parish Church and will be looking at how we can apply for funding forthe work that needs doing at the East End ofthe parish church. We are continuing to prioritise work requirements across our buildings.

Golng Concern The Trustees consider the Parish of Aston and Nechells is a going conrn at the date for approving the accounts. There are no material uncertaintias that the charily can Gontinue as a going concern for the next year. Key Risks & Uncertalnties The charity is exposed to various risks, including operational, financial and reputational risks. The trustees review the Gharity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. Fund Accountlng Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charilable objects. Unrestricted funds include designatgd funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set a6ide resources for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in a¢cordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to th8 accounts. Incoming Resources All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resource8 can be measured with sufficient reliability. All voluntary income from members of the charity are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled lo the grant. Income resources from charitable trading activities such as the letting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up las at the point of entitlement). Donated setvices and facilities are included at the value lo the charily where this can be quantified. Q Gifts in Kind are accounted for al a reasonable èstimate of thelr value to the charlty or the amount actually realised. Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the charity, is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees Annual Report. PayB t2
Investment Income is induded in the accounls when receivable Resources Expended Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity lo pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance Costs Governance costs include costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are shown wlthin 'Analysis of Expenditure, note. Liability ReGognition Liabililie5 are reoognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committlng the charity to pay out resources, Tangible Flxed Assets Consecrated and benefice property 16 excluded and not capitalised in th8 Financial Stalemenfs in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Freehold land and buildings used for charitable purposes & investment properties. The properties that are held by the Birniingham Diocese Trustee (BDT) as custodian trustees on behalf of the Charity (as Parochial Church Councils are not allowed by law to own property outright) are revalued from time to time as necessary and have been included in the balance sheet at 8Stimated fair value. Investments are recognised at their quoted market price. Unrealised gains or losses are calculat8d as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Depre¢iation, if applicable, is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the expected useful economic life of that asset, as follows.. Freehold property - Not depreciated Musical and Tèchnical Equipment- 100% charged in year of purchase Computer equipment- 100% tharged in year of purchase Fumiture, fixtures and fittings - 1 OOOA charged in year of purchase unless PCC decides otherwise. Iln view of the malntenance prograrnme in place which aims to keep the buildings in good condition, the trustees consider that any depreciation of freehold property would be immaterial and accordingly no provision has been made. The carrying amount of the freehold property is reviewed annually for impairment by the trustees.] Operating and Financial Leases None in for Taxation The charity is exempl from tax on its charitable activities. p4B 13
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation The trustees do not consider that there are any malerial sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period. Roundlngs to nearest Pound All monetary values are rounded to the nearest £. Therefore, there may be small discrepancies in tables when added vertically or horizontally. PWJB 14
