PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST LUKE, QUEENS PARK, BRIGHTON
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Administrative Information
St Luke’s Church is situated in Brighton: Queen’s Park. It is part of the Diocese of Chichester within the Church of England. The correspondence address is St Luke’s Vicarage, Queen’s Park Terrace, Brighton. BN2 9YA.
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission, with the number 1154483. PCC members who have served from 1 January 2025 until the date this report was approved are:
Incumbent: The Reverend Julie Newson Church Warden: Mrs. Yvonne Whitley-Jones/Mr Peter Sykes Church Warden Emeritus: Mr. Peter Burrows Representative on the Deanery Synod: Miss Wendy Stone/Mrs Yvonne Whitley-Jones Safeguarding Representative: Ms. Penny Bennett Elected Members: Mr. Russell Robinson, Mrs Janet Hardacre, Mrs. Louise Cannon, Miss Rebecca Whitley-Jones, Mrs Olive Shaw, Mrs Mia Townsend. Chairman: Deacon Julie Newson Treasurer: Mr. Chris Whitley-Jones
Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
Objectives and Activities
St Luke’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Rev’d. Julie Newson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance and management responsibilities for the Church and hall in Queen’s Park Road, the Vicarage Room behind the church, licensed for use by Orchard Day Nursery and the Bute Hall, leased to Harmony Carpets in Sutherland Road/Rochester Street.
Achievements and Performance
Church Attendance
There were 74 parishioners at the close of the year on the Church Electoral Roll, 48 of whom are not resident within the parish. 5 names were removed; 1 because they no longer attend, two members died and two moved away. The average weekly Sunday attendance was up to 45, from 39 last year.
Review of the Year
The full PCC met four times during the year with an average level of attendance at 80 per cent. Time was spent during the year discussing Parish Mission, Health & Safety, Safeguarding, ECO Church and maintenance issues.
There has finally been progress towards meeting the condition of the Faculty set by the Chancellor, following the case in the Consistory Court, to build a new permanent structure, where we had ‘allowed’ the lean-to porch between the Choir Vestry and the Vicarage Room to be taken down. We have changed our architect and appointed Julian Vallis of Vallis and Hall Conservation Architects. Mr Vallis is working on a scaled down version of a permanent structure to replace the lean-to. He is fully aware of our position with regard to compliance with the Chancellor’s conditions and of our reluctance to spend any more money than is absolutely necessary on this project.
The PCC are conscious of the obligation to complete the works required by the Consistory Court before spending money on other projects, unless they are of an urgent nature.
As reported last year, Tilley’s Roofing carried out comprehensive work to the valleys and gutters all around the church, which had become urgent due to rainwater ingress. Unfortunately, we have an outstanding issue of water ingress into the hall beside the kitchen hatch, which is probably coming from the gulley around the tower, or from higher up in the secret gutter of the front (west end) pinnacle.
The stonework around most of the windows and the ferramentas which are both decorative and in part secure the windows in place are seriously eroded. Rainwater ingress around these has become very noticeable, as has the deterioration of the stonework. These issues impact on our responsibility and add to our priority to keep the inside of the building weatherproof and dry. Once the building is dry inside, the PCC will need to consider the priorities of repair and re-decoration inside and repair work to the stonework and windows on the outside.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST LUKE, QUEENS PARK, BRIGHTON ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Unfortunately, the electric/accessible doors continue to fail whenever there is rain. The magnetic lock denies opening if it is wet or damp and this is very frustrating and unhelpful for anyone who needs to access the building avoiding the front steps. The only solution the firm who maintain the door system have suggested, is to build an awning over the porch! It seems very unlikely that the PCC will decide to do that. There may be an alternative solution with adjustments to the porch guttering, but it’s not clear exactly what should be done. When the doors are working well, they’re great, but when they fail, there seems to be no way round the issue.
Pigeons, who took advantage of the opportunity to roost and nest in the Bell Tower during the year, caused some problems with unpleasant debris falling through into the kitchen. It took two attempts and several thousand pounds to move them on and block their point of entry, but this has now been achieved and the Bell Tower thoroughly cleaned.
The PCC are exploring options to upgrade the electricity supply around the church to 3 phase supply. When the church has been hired by local companies promoting and producing concerts, the power supply, the trip switches have activated under the strain of extra electrical equipment. Upgrading the system and probably installing more power points, should stop this happening.
Janet Hardacre and Penny Bennett completed the Diocesan Authorised Lay Ministry Course in the Pastoral Care module and Rita Wright completed the Chaplaincy module. In 2026 Rita is undertaking another module, this time in Liturgy and Worship. Training in the Safeguarding Foundation level is a requirement for PCC members and one or two representatives are yet to complete this on-line course.
It was hoped that a ‘face to face’ First Aid course could be run at St Luke’s, but it was impossible to find a time when it would be suitable for all who wished to take part.
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) continues to be of benefit to the parish as the most effective method of giving regularly to St Luke’s. The PCC would wish to encourage new contributors to the scheme wherever possible.
It is a delight to have a number of young families now regularly worshipping with us and great to have them sharing their skills and abilities in the various ministries in church. We still have some gaps in the provision of welcome and hospitality, but this has improved.
The PCC has signed up to the ECO Church programme, which is designed to help individual parishes to play their part in striving for net zero, which is a pledge of the National Church of England. The Children’s Crib service on Christmas Eve, underwent a twist of focus, as Christingles were made, firstly to focus on Baby Jesus, the Light of the World and then to consider the environment and endangered species.
The Christmas Carol service was again well attended with many local families joining us to sing with joy their favourite Carols and to listen to the choir singing other Christmas pieces from their repertoire. The choir continue to lead the singing at the Sunday Parish Eucharist, where they spoil us with excellent music, especially in the form of a much-appreciated anthem during the distribution of Holy Communion.
The Church Hall continues to be popular for family parties and regular activities. Demand for this space seems to increase year on year and there are not enough days in the week to accommodate all the requests that are made.
It is worth noting again, that we continue to be one of a very small number of parishes in the Brighton Deanery, who meet their Parish Ministry Costs (also known as Quota or Parish Share) in full. This is very important, while strategic management across the Diocese is constantly under review. This is made more essential by the current economic climate, with an essential reduction in the number of clergy. The PCC wish to encourage everyone to be as fully involved in ministry as they would like to be, including reading, leading intercessions and serving. More involvement from more people is an equally important measure of growth, as paying all the money that we are asked for!
Financial Review
Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £128,136 and are detailed in the financial statements. The Bute Hall continues to be let to Harmony Carpets, which provided a gross income of £21,695 that was spent to provide the Christian ministry & mission in St Luke’s Parish, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The net result for the year was an excess of income over expenditure on unrestricted funds of £6,800. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year and deducting other creditors, the balances carried forward at 31 December for unrestricted funds amounted to £240,337.
Reserves 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 situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £240,337 on unrestricted funds at the year-end exceeds this target. The balance of £29,048 in the Community Space restricted fund is retained towards meeting the cost of the church hall refurbishment. Costs on this project amounted to £Nil during the year. It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 1 to 11, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’) and s. 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and s.144 of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act: and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, and the Regulations have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. General information
The charity is registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is St Luke’s Vicarage, Queen’s Park Terrace, Brighton. BN2 9YA.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Charities Act 2011and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is liable in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
