Parochial Church Council of Hackney Church Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and 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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The consolidated financial statements includes the results, assets and liabilities, including that of Hackney Church Experiences Limited and St. John's Housing Trust, for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of other charities or Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members over which the PCC does not have operational or financial control.

Saint Music Collective Limited (SMC), Company Number 13448340, was formed in June 2021 for the purpose of recording and promoting Christain worship music. The majority of SMC's directors are also trustees of Hackney Church. At this time, the activies of SMC are immaterial and the accounts of SMC have not been consolidated as the amounts are immaterial. Transactions made between Hackney Church and SMC are disclosed in Note 7.

The PCC considers that Hackney Church is a going concern as it has prepared what it considers a viable budget that shows that the current level of income and unrestricted reserves are sufficient to support the activities planned for 2025 and for the foreseeable future. The trustees are confident that with the continued support of the congregation and appropriate management of expenditure, the negative unrestricted fund position will be managed without adversity. Therefore, the accounts are prepared based on Hackney Church being a going concern. Budgets will continue to be prepared in view of wider financial circumstances. The trustees are confident that future balanced budgets will be possible given the continued support of the congregation.

Funds

Unrestricted and designated 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. Restricted funds are those endowments, legacies, donations or grants for specific purposes. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they are given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The details of the funds are set out in note 9.

Income

Voluntary income

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. An estimate of income tax recoverable is recognised when the related donations are recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is probable. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross.

Income from investments

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.

Other income

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. Other income is recognised when received.

Income from charitable activity is accounted for as it accrues. Income from fundraising events are accounted for at gross value.

Parochial Church Council of Hackney Church Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Expenditure

Grants

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when the award has been notified to the recipient, whichever is sooner, if the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Church activities

The diocesan Common Fund is accounted for when paid. Any Common Fund unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed assets

Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings

The properties within this class are the church building. Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector 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 (at any reasonable time). All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings or on the repair of movable church furnishings is written off.

Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment

Only items of greater than £500 are capitalised. Church production equipment comprises a number of electrical and other items connected with sound, vision and worship. They will be depreciated over three years from date of first use.

Computer and office equipment and furnishings are depreciated over three years from date of first use.

Vehicles are depreciated over 6 years using the reducing balance method.

Leasehold Properties

Leasehold properties are depreciated over 50 years from date of acquisition.

Current assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Investments

Except where otherwise indicated in the notes to the financial statements, investments are valued at market value as of 31 December.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There were no specific judgements, estimates and assumptions that were critical to the preparation of these financial statements.

The PCC, through trustees, manages 100% of St. John's Housing Trust (Registered Charity number 1172228) ("SJHT"), whose principal activities during the year were to supply affordable housing to Hackney Church employees.

6 STAFF COSTS

During the year the PCC employed the full time equivalent ("FTE") of 31.2 people (2023: 25.3) and on the basis of actual number of people employed regardless of FTE the number of people employed in the year 35 (2023: 29). HCEL and SJHT did not have any direct employees in 2024 (2023:nil).

Two (2023: Two) employees earned in excess of £60,000 in the year 2024.

Total remuneration for key management personnel was £68,000 in the year. (2023: £68,000)

Clergy members are employed by the Diocese of London and not by Hackney Church so their costs have not been included in the salary figures shown above. Hackney Church is also obliged to provide accommodation to its ordained staff and its policy is to provide similar accommodation to its off-Common Fund clergy as to that provided by the Diocese to the rector. As clergy are ex-officio members of the PCC they are in effect related parties in relation to their accommodation, but the details of this benefit provided by Hackney Church has not been separately analysed in these statements.

Two members of the PCC are also trustees of the Hackney Parochial Council. Hackney Parochial Council charity is not a related party as defined by the Charities Commission however, the transactions are disclosed in the interest of transparency.

The known amount given to the church by the members of the PCC and Clergy during their time in office in 2024 is £154,314 (2023: £119,125). There were no other disclosable transactions in respect of PCC members, persons closely connected with them or other related parties.

In 2024, no trustees received remuneration for employment at Hackney Church for work unrelated to trusteeship. The governing documents of Hackney Church permit a trustee to also be an employee provided that the salary is at fair market and the other trustees of the church are in approval. No other amounts in regards to employment or expenses were reimbursed that were not incurred directly on behalf, and for the benefit of, the Church.
