PCC members who served at any �me from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 are: ## **PCC MEMBERS** _Ex-Officio_ Nicholas Weir (Vicar, Chairman) Stephen Fraser (Curate, Diocesan Synod) Nigel Ward (Associate Minister) (un�l 18 March 2024) Steve Harbert (Churchwarden) (un�l 24 April 2024) Ruth Ward (Churchwarden, Deanery Synod Representa�ve and Safeguarding) John Edwards (Vice-Chairman, Deanery Synod Representa�ve) _Elected_ Jonathan Arr Georgina Brown (un�l 24 April 2024) Esther Davis Cynthia Gabriel Steve Harbert (from 24 April 2024) Zoe Hill Brian O’Keeffe Ted Savill (from 18 March 2024) Jordan Thomas Peter War d _Co-Opted_ Shirley Ward (PCC Treasurer) 4 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY** The primary objec�ve of the Parochial Church Council (the “PCC”) is the promo�on of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and prac�ces of the Church of England. The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC _“is to cooperate with the minister in promo�ng in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelis�c, social and ecumenical”._ The PCC is also specifically responsible for the effec�ve opera�on and maintenance of the Church and Parish Centre including the buildings. ## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CHURCH** The Church is not a building, but a gathering of people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The PCC is commi�ed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at Holy Trinity, Frogmore. When planning our ac�vi�es, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in par�cular, the supplementary guidance on chari�es for the advancement of religion. Holy Trinity Mission Ac�on Plan commits us to these aims and priori�es: Our Aims: To **Sow** , making contact with individuals and seeking to bring the Gospel of Jesus into their lives; To pray that they may come to **Know** Jesus for themselves and have a personal rela�onship with him; To help each person **Grow** as a disciple of Jesus in the family of the church; To **Go** as a church family in service of him. Our Priori�es: **Proclama�on** of God’s word, the bible, through public preaching, personal bible study and conversa�ons; **Prayer:** depending on the Holy Spirit to empower this work; **People:** God’s family of disciples who love others, both inside and outside the church; **Perseverance:** as God’s work bears fruit in his �ming and involves long-term commitment. 5 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CHURCH (con�nued)** This means we will aim at: - Having Bible-centred, prayerful and welcoming church services and groups that God can use to bring about transforma�on in people’s lives; - Reaching out to all kinds of people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, through crea�ve evangelism that involves every church member, being ready to break out of our comfort zone, always depending on God; - Encouraging members to see Chris�an service as an integral part of discipleship and equipping them to grow their God-given gi�s and use them; To facilitate this, it is important to ensure the con�nued maintenance of the fabric of the Church building and Parish Centre. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a charity (registered number 1154053) registered with the Charity Commission. The appointment of PCC members is governed by the Synodical Government Measure: Church Representa�on Rules. All bap�sed Chris�ans a�ending the church are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll enabling them to vote at the APCM and stand for elec�on to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all ma�ers of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive ini�al training in the workings of the PCC. The PCC met 6 �mes during 2024 all in person but with a Zoom link op�on with an average of 83% a�endance. The PCC has a Standing Commi�ee which meets from �me to �me in between main mee�ngs for more urgent decisions. The Vicar and churchwardens are responsible for the day-to-day management of the church within the overall policy established by the PCC. With the PCC’s approval the Vicar and churchwardens have appointed three others to be a part of a Leadership Team with them. Policy is carried out by the clergy, staff and a host of volunteers. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 2024 has been another good year of seeing God at work in our church and community, and we are grateful for the large body of volunteers who have worked so hard to facilitate these ac�vi�es. A�er the challenges of the years impacted by the Covid pandemic, the church enjoyed a busy and happy 2024 and welcomed lots of visitors to its ministries. 6 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** ## _Mission and Evangelism_ During 2024 we celebrated 0 thanksgiving services, 1 bap�sm, 0 confirma�ons and 2 weddings. We held 0 funerals in the church premises, 3 funerals at a Crematorium, and 13 commi�als/burial of ashes. ## _For Preschoolers_ Totshots is our weekly drop-in group for parents and carers of preschool children. The aim is a first contact point for families in the area with a brief and simple Bible slot at the end of each week aimed at the children. We also plug any church family-friendly events that are running at other points in the week and invite families to join us on Sundays. The group runs every Wednesday from 9:15am-11am, with free-play and cra� un�l 10:45am, followed by a group �dy-up �me, a Bible story and songs. A prac�cal change since last year is that story-�me now takes place in the small hall, in order to accommodate the foodbank se�ng up in the main hall from 11am. This actually works quite well, as story �me takes places in a more confined and less echoey space! Since September we have been running the group with a team of just 4 regular helpers (2 in the kitchen / registra�on and 2 se�ng up and 'hos�ng' the morning). Numbers have con�nued to be low (a maximum of 10 adults on any given week) but this has con�nued to enable good rela�onships to be built. We now have an advert on Park Street People and Places, as well as the Bricket Wood Whatsapp groups, and have fliers in the Bricket Wood Sta�on Café. In terms of spiritual fruit, we have seen a small amount of cross-over into Sundays and an explorer’s bible study, which is really exci�ng! Also, a number of our regular Park Street families have older children now a�ending Hotshots so it’s great to be having mul�ple contact points with them. In terms of challenges, once the Curate moves on, there will be no actual church families with pre-school aged children able to a�end and help run Totshots. The Vicar’s wife is willing to con�nue to be available on Wednesday mornings to run the group, but Totshots involvement will almost certainly need to be in the job descrip�on of the next Children & Youth Worker. (From Cherry) ## _For Primary School Age Children_ Our club for primary age children called ‘Hotshots’ con�nued this year, mee�ng each Friday with around 15 - 25 children from years 1-6. In 2024 we had over 60 individual children come and enjoy cra�, games, sport and a short bible talk. A fair sized group of children joined Hotshots this year from Year 1 which looks promising for the longevity of the club. The children have seemed to enjoy interac�ons with all of the leaders and most have grown in friendships with each other throughout the year. They also, importantly, have heard about the Lord Jesus, in some capacity, every �me that 7 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **T RUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** ## _For Primary School Age Children (con�nued)_ the club is run. We encouraged some young teenage leaders of Hotshots to co-lead their first ‘up front’ bible talk with another, more experienced, leader. Another leader also led their first ‘up front’ bible talk on their own.These all went well and are a great encouragement to the rest of the team and for the future. In the summer we held a holiday club from 09:30-12:30 from 23-26 July. It had a Medieval theme which was linked to how Jesus is the unexpected King. Each kids group was named a�er a different gemstone and the up front sketches were done by a jester and princess duo. Approximately 70 children joined us over the course of the week. Each day consisted of some ac�vi�es, some specific group �me to look at the bible with a snack and altogether �me with some sketches and a bible-based talk by a range of male and female leaders. We had many and varied ac�vi�es ranging from assault courses to crea�ng your own castle out of cardboard and launching catapults at others. Each child heard from up front and in group �mes about who Jesus is and what it looks like to follow him and be in His kingdom. ## _For Schools_ Holy Trinity Church con�nues to enjoy a close rela�onship with Park Street Primary School. This year we've taken weekly assemblies, spread between the Vicar, Curate, Ministry Trainee and Children’s Worker. We have also welcomed the Pastor of Park Street Bap�st Church (the other church in the parish) to share in this work. These have been opportuni�es to grow links with the school, assist in their Collec�ve Worship and teach stories from the Bible. In addi�on, we've con�nued to work together in holding their Easter, Christmas and their Harvest Fes�val. We also hosted a Leavers’ Service this year one again. This year we supported the Saltmine Theatre company to perform a chris�an-themed play in both Park Street School and the other school in the parish, How Wood School. The Vicar also took the Harvest Fes�val in How Wood School. Our Youth worker and our Ministry Trainee con�nued to visit the local secondary school, Marlborough Science Academy. They visit as a volunteer of the STEP charity and help with a group called ‘Explore’ which helps students think about the chris�an faith together. ## _For Seniors_ The In Touch lunch club met up 21 �mes in 2024. This included Easter, Harvest and Christmas services featuring the clergy. We con�nued with our pa�ern of arrival, welcome, lunch, dessert, tea & coffee, a pause for thought by one of our team (a short chris�an story and/or prayer) and then our speaker/entertainment. We con�nue our aim to have a range of visitors, both chris�an and non-chris�an but hopefully all interes�ng and/or edifying. This includes our church members talking about faith, work and life, local musicians and storytellers and local and na�onal chari�es (such as CAP, the Foodbank, Salva�on Army) and more. A few members a�ended the Sunday church service mul�ple �mes throughout the year and a�ended various church events. We con�nue to serve our local community where their need is and serve them with the love of Jesus, hoping that they will also come to know Him for themselves. 8 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** ## _Equipping and Training_ Our Growth Groups have con�nued to be a place of support and fellowship for church members. Each of the five main groups con�nued to meet throughout 2024. A women’s and a men’s group also met regularly. Two of the main groups con�nue to have hybrid zoom/in person mee�ngs. The rest of the groups are mee�ng in person in homes or the church. Twice a term our Growth Groups disband and instead, we meet as an en�re church family in the parish centre to pray for the needs of our church, our community, the world, and one another. Our 2024 Lent series consisted of two mee�ngs for parishioners focussed on ‘How God Builds His Church.’. They occurred in church. The first was led by the Revd Stephen Fraser, our curate, who led an evening called ‘He speaks to us: How the bible fits together and builds us up.’ The second session was led by our Vicar, the Revd Dr Nick Weir who spoke on: ‘He sets hearts on fire: How God built his church in the Great Revival.’ In 2024 we did not hold a Church Weekend Away. We con�nue to host these every 18 months. The next one is booked for 21-23 March 2025 at High Leigh Conference Centre once again. ## _Worship and Prayer_ Our regular Sunday services con�nued at 9am and 10:45 am. The 9.00 service is more tradi�onal and reflec�ve in style. The 10.45 service a�racts younger families and is more lively worship in style. It is also live streamed. These services provided opportuni�es to welcome guests, inform enquirers, nurture new believers, and spur on those who have been Chris�ans for some �me. Throughout 2024, Holy Trinity con�nued children's provision at the 10:45 service each Sunday morning. This included a creche for those aged 0-2, a group called Sparklers for 3-7 year olds, Flames for 8-11 year olds and Ignite for school years 7-9. These were a�ended by 25-30 children most weeks. Sparklers, Flames and Ignite all, largely, taught the young people on the same Bible passages as the adults were looking at in the sermons, which meant they started the year reading 1 Samuel, looked at Acts 21-28 in the summer term and learnt from John’s Gospel in the Autumn. They also covered seasonal series on Easter and Christmas. Ignite is our weekly club for school years 7-13. We enjoy playing games and reading the Bible with around 15 young people each Sunday evening. In 2024 we’ve enjoyed bible studies in Ma�hew 1-7 and Philippians, as well as doing the youth version of Chris�anity Explored, “Vox.” Talks through the year have covered the doctrine of the atonement (“Why did Jesus have to die?”), the reliability of the gospels (“Can We Trust the Gospels”), a chris�an approach to schoolwork and what it looks like to live a life which puts Jesus first. We also had a frui�ul Q&A session, in which the teenagers had the opportunity to ask any ques�ons they had about Chris�anity. 9 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** ## _Worship and Prayer (con�nued)_ Our termly movie nights have con�nued, each including a discussion of the themes of the film we’ve watched, considering the “worldview” the film presents, the complexi�es of the characters, and how the bible might help us to analyse, cri�que and affirm different aspects of the story. In 2024 we watched The Case for Christ, Night at the Museum and Elf. Through a grant from the Diocese of St Albans we were able to have a subsidised social at Ninja Warrior in Wa�ord which was enjoyed by all, as well as enjoying a Christmas party and other social evenings through the year. In October we had a very encouraging �me at our Ignite Bright Light party on Halloween with a number of guests. We played games, ate hotdogs, and thought about the darkness we experience in this world and the light which Jesus offers. The older teenagers are also offered the opportunity to meet one-to-one with someone to study the bible or read a chris�an book, and that has been appreciated by all involved. ## _Pastoral Care_ Our Pastoral Commi�ee of five is led by our curate. It meets every two to three months to share any new informa�on about the vulnerable people in the parish, those who are sick, in hospital or care homes. At Harvest and Christmas small gi�s are given to any members of the Church who have been experiencing difficult circumstances in the recent past. Some years we hold a Service for Remembering in November and invite any who may have bereaved since the previous Service. We did not hold one in November 2024 as there had not been very many funerals in Church. At our tw o services every Sunday we try to note anyone who is unexpectedly missing. An effort is made to contact those in these groups either through their Home Groups, one of the staff or a commi�ee member. Many of the members of the congrega�on visit or contact each other during the week and inform commi�ee members of any changes in their condi�on. Parishioners are encouraged to a�end the various groups and events that are arranged by the church. At each Pastoral Care Mee�ng �me is spent praying for people. We also now have a Prayer Corner in the church and people available to pray with anyone who requests this. ## _Safeguarding_ During 2024 the Safeguarding Team at the Diocese have been upda�ng their guidance on the changes made by the Learning and Development Prac�ce Guidance 2024 which came into effect on 1st January, 2025. The Bishop of St. Albans, through acceptance of the House of Bishop’s Prac�ce Guidance, has set minimum requirements for Safeguarding Training for ordained, licensed and lay Church Officers. A Church Officer is anyone appointed by or on behalf of the Church to a post or role, whether they are ordained or lay, paid or unpaid. 10 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** _Safeguarding (con�nued)_ For Guidance: ## Basic Awareness Everyone who can be described as a Church Officer above. Founda�ons Following Basic Awareness. Those holding the Bishop’s Licence. Anyone (volunteers and employees) working with children, young people or vulnerable adults. Churchwardens. PCC Members. Raising Awareness of Domes�c Abuse Those holding a Bishop’s Licence. Anyone (volunteers and employees) working with children, young people or vulnerable adults. Pastoral visitors, Safeguarding Officers. All Church Officers, PCC members. Other courses- Leadership, Senior Leadership, and Safer Recruitment and People Management for those in senior posi�ons. All of these courses have to be repeated every 3 years with the excep�on of Basic Awareness if you have done a further course. You will be reminded when these are due. The same will happen with DBS Checks. It is recommended that if you are expec�ng to volunteer for any role including PCC that you do the course prior to the APCM. If you do not comply with these recommenda�ons the Church may be penalised when being considered for curates etc. There have not been any Safeguarding issues at the Church recently, but we have been aware of some problems within a family who have been loosely connected to us mainly through the children’s work. We are s�ll in touch with the parents. Recently, we have become aware that a young person who has a history of Drug taking has been a�ending some Church services. A Risk Assessment has been prepared. The Diocese now runs monthly Safeguarding Updates for Safeguarding Officers on the last Friday of every month. They are mainly an opportunity to ask any ques�ons that we may have. We hire out our Church Halls to various groups during the week and all of these have to have their own Safeguarding Policies and Risk Assessments in place. ## _Other Partnerships_ Revds. Nick Weir and Stephen Fraser are both members of Deanery Synod along with 2 lay members elected for 3 years. It meets 3 �mes a year in different churches in St. Albans Deanery. The mee�ngs this year were held as follows: on 13th February at Christ Church, St. Albans, 5th June at St. Mark’s, Colney Heath and 3rd October at St. Peter’s, London Colney. 11 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued)** ## **For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (con�nued)** ## _Other Partnerships (con�nued)_ At each mee�ng the Vicar told us about their Church and then there was a main topic. On arrival at Christ Church we no�ced that a Pancake Evening was in full swing. Due to Ill health Mr. Anthony Flack, Head Teacher of Townsend School was unable to a�end, so the topic was carried over to the mee�ng at Colney Heath. The makeup of the Governing Body of Townsend School was discussed and the fact that as a C/E School St. Alban’s Deanery should appoint 2 of the Governors. This has now been done. On 3rd October Revd. Oliver Blease introduced the Diocesan Year of Spiritual Renewing and Wellbeing. Revd. Nicholas Weir is also an elected member of the General Synod and therefore of the Diocesan Synod. Revd. Stephen Fraser is also a member on Diocesan Synod. The reports of the mee�ngs of both of these bodies are given at the Deanery Synod mee�ngs. We are ac�vely involved in the Anglican Church Worldwide with ongoing links through Anglican mission agencies (Crosslinks, CMJ) to Chris�an workers in a number of other countries including the Republic of Ireland and Israel. We pray for these individuals, receive regular updates (and occasionally very heartening visits). Throughout 2024 we didn’t have a specific Crosslinks mission partner, but were awai�ng new partners currently in training. A couple were proposed to be adopted during 2025. We are also supporters of the Tearfund relief agency, St Albans and Harpenden Chris�an Educa�on Project, and CPAS. Volunteers from our church serve each summer on CPAS Ventures for young people. The church also prays for Stephen and Sherry Lilico who live and work in Japan. The church leaders also a�end a St Albans city group for prayer and mission ac�vi�es and the Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship and ReNew network groups. ## **BUILDINGS REPORT** The PCC ensures that the parish centre is available to our local community, serving the public and facilita�ng ac�vi�es that promote the good of others. Several groups meet each week with access to a well equipped kitchen and on site car park. Each Wednesday we host the St Albans and District Foodbank so that those in need in our community can access food, toiletries and other essen�als. We also act as a polling sta�on each May for St. Albans District Council. Our hire charges remain at £21.00 per hour for use of the large hall and £14.00 per hour for use of the small hall. There is no fee for the food bank who we welcome free of charge. We con�nue to hire out 30 car parking spaces to a local business at a rate of £2.50 per car per day. 12 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **BUILDINGS REPORT (con�nued)** The Parish Centre is regularly used by Church groups including a toddler group and youth groups for primary and secondary aged children. Growth Groups con�nue to meet for members of the congrega�on (and others) to read the bible together and pray. Great care is taken to ensure that Church mission takes priority whilst maintaining our commitment to hos�ng external community groups. The Parish Centre is s�ll enjoyed by congrega�on members for hos�ng celebra�ons and other mee�ngs. No fee is applied for the first 4 hours of this form of hire, wherea�er the standard hourly rates apply. ## **LOOKING FORWARD** The PCC is keen to ensure that the current range of ac�vi�es are maintained where they are needed and are of benefit to the church and the community. However, it is important that other opportuni�es con�nue to be sought. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** It is the policy of the PCC to hold the equivalent of six months’ general running costs, including salary costs, in unrestricted cash reserves. The PCC further resolves to aim to use any restricted funds where possible in order to simplify the church's reserves. Receipts for the year were £234,841 _(2023: £268,354)_ with £168,060 of the current year income unrestricted and £66,781 restricted. Payments amounted to £216,291 _(2023: 228,682)_ . Before movements in investments this gave rise to a surplus of £18,550 _(2023: £39,672)_ of which £8,020 were unrestricted. The gain on investment in the year was £3,185 _(2023: £12,062)._ Closing reserves as at 31 December 2024 were £321,594 _(2023: £299,859)_ represented by £131,610 of unrestricted reserves (including designated), £47,641 of restricted reserves with the balance of £142,343 represented by the endowment. ## **RESERVE POLICY** It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months' unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situa�ons that may arise from �me to �me. The balance on unrestricted funds at the year end exceeds this target; it is the policy of the PCC to maintain unrestricted fund levels to meet this target. 13 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (con�nued) For the year ended 31 December 2024** ## **INVESTMENT POLICY** It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and to ensure that investments are in line with the Church of England's ethical investment policy. The CBF Deposit Fund offers a compe��ve rate of interest and enables us to limit our exposure to bank default risk. Shorter-term working capital is held in our current account at Lloyds Bank. Listed investments are managed by CCLA who are a leader in stewardship and ethics and are a signatory of the United Na�ons Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and the UK Stewardship Code. Shorter-term working capital is held in our current account at Lloyds Bank. ## **GOING CONCERN** At the �me of approving the financial statements, the PCC members have a reasonable expecta�on that the PCC has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the PCC members con�nue to adopt the going concern basis of accoun�ng in preparing the financial statements. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** All major insurable risks are subject to normal churches’ and employers’ insurance. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the church’s ability to fulfil its objec�ves. An annual review of areas of risk is undertaken by the Parochial Church Council in conjunc�on with staff and volunteers responsible for the area of ac�vity. 14 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** The PCC is responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accoun�ng Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce). Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and applica�on of resources for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the PCC are required to: - select suitable accoun�ng policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Chari�es SORP; - make judgements and es�mates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether the applicable accoun�ng standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will con�nue in opera�on. The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accoun�ng records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any �me the financial posi�on of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Chari�es Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preven�on and detec�on of fraud and other irregulari�es. Approved by the PC C on 31 March 2025 and signed on its behalf by the Rev’d Dr Nicholas Weir, PCC Chairman. **----- Start of picture text -----**

I confirm that no ma�ers have come to my a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe: 1. accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by sec�on 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 Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on. I have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Statutory informa�on** The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesias�cal Parish of Holy Trinity, Frogmore is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Informa�on page. ## **2. Accoun�ng policies** ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edi�on of the Chari�es Statement of Recommended Prac�ce issued in October 2019, the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Chari�es Act 2011. ## **Basis of prepara�on** The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesias�cal Parish of Holy Trinity, Frogmore meets the defini�on of a public benefit en�ty under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost conven�on with items recognised at cost or transac�on value except unless otherwise stated in the note(s) to these accounts. ## **Going concern** At the �me of approving the financial statements, the PCC members have a reasonable expecta�on that the PCC has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the PCC members con�nue to adopt the going concern basis of accoun�ng in preparing the financial statements. ## **Judgements** The trustees have not made any judgements in the process of applying the en�ty's accoun�ng policies that have had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. ## **Key sources of es�ma�on uncertainty** There are no key sources of es�ma�on uncertainty at the repor�ng date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabili�es within the next financial year. 20 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con�nued)** for the year ended 31 December 2024 ## **Income** Voluntary income including dona�ons, gi�s and legacies that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has en�tlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## _**Dona�ons and legacies**_ Dona�ons and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. ## _**Gi� aid**_ Gi� aid income is recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. ## _**Investment income**_ Interest income is recognised on an earned basis with interest earned but not received at the Balance Sheet date accrued. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and no�fica�on has been received of the dividend due. ## **Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or construc�ve obliga�on to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in se�lement and the amount of the obliga�on can be reliably measured. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenditure, including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. Expenditure on charitable ac�vi�es is incurred on directly undertaking the ac�vi�es which further the Charity’s objec�ves, as well as any associated support cost. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. The charity is not registered for VAT and therefore all expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT. ## **Governance costs** These include the costs a�ributable to the charity's compliance with cons�tu�onal and statutory requirements. The only such cost is Audit Fee, which is reflected as a separate line in Support costs. 21 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con�nued)** for the year ended 31 December 2024 ## **Debtors** Debtors are included in the se�lement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. ## **Liabili�es** Liabili�es are recognised where the charity has a present obliga�on at the Balance Sheet date arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to se�le the obliga�on can be measured or es�mated reliably. Liabili�es are recognised at the amount that the Charity an�cipates it will pay to se�le the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. ## **Heritage assets** Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the financial statements, in accordance with sec�on 10(2)(a) of the Chari�es Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected at any reasonable �me. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is wri�en off. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets cos�ng £1,500 or more are ini�ally recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated deprecia�on and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. On conversion to FRS 102, tangible fixed assets iden�fied as acquired prior to 31 December 2021 were not considered either material or reliably measurable to be recognised in the opening balance sheet at fair value. Furthermore the Church halls (rebuilt in the 1997) are a fully integrated extension, integral to the main Church, and therefore not separable from the Heritage assets for fair value considera�on. ## **Investments** Investments are valued at market value at the year end. ## **Cash at bank and in hand** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily conver�ble to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 22 ## **HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FROGMORE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (con�nued)** for the year ended 31 December 2024 ## **Pensions** The charity offers a defined contribu�on pension scheme to every employee. The assets of the scheme are invested and managed independently of the finances of the Charity. Employees are automa�cally enrolled into the pension scheme, if they are paid above a certain value, and are en�tled to opt into the pension scheme if paid below the threshold. The Charity pays an agreed contribu�on to a separate en�ty, relieving it from any liability for future payments. ## **Fund accoun�ng** ## _**Unrestricted Funds**_ These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its ‘free reserves’ as disclosed in the Trustees’ Report. The PCC has the right to “un-designate” funds. ## _**Restricted Funds**_ These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restric�ons provided are shown in the notes to the accounts. ## _**Endowment Funds**_ These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discre�onary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restric�ons are shown in the notes to the accounts. ## **3 . Dona�ons and legacies** |Regular giving and collections
