Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare, for each financial year, financial statements which give a true and fair record of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Pinner Methodist Church Fund and which will enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Standing Orders of the Methodist Church and the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees consider these practices have been followed and their responsibilities properly discharged.

Objectives and activities

Pinner Methodist Church exists to provide regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and non-members alike. It provides a sacred space, a building, for prayer and contemplation. It explains and commends Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups. It carries out pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved.

Pinner Methodist Church is a community of Christian people bearing witness to the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ, His Son, in words and actions, and in the power of His Spirit.

Part of our mission is to provide, in association with other PAC Churches and the Harrow and Hillingdon Circuit, a centre for Christian worship, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service to the community in and around Pinner and to the wider world.

Our outreach to the community is lead by Pinner Playtime which brings parents and pre-school children together five days per week during term time.

We also hold a coffee morning every Saturday and a friendship group called “Soup and Natter” on Thursday each week. All are welcome to both of these community outreach groups.

The Church encourages interaction with the local community by offering the church space to local schools for Christian celebrations and activities.

Investment Policy

The investment of surplus funds is operated via the Central Finance Board (CFB) of the Methodist Church; CFB aims to provide a highquality investment service seeking above-average returns for long-term investors, whilst ensuring that the securities held by all its funds are in line with the ethical policy of The Methodist Church.

Financial Statements

Introduction

The End of Year Financial Statements of Pinner Methodist Church for the year ending 31st August 2025 are presented on the following pages. The accounts have been prepared using the My Fund accounting package for church organisations developed and supported by Data Developments.

Comments

The statement of financial activities shows a loss of £6969. This is in part due to over £7000 worth of invoices which were not settled until after 31[st] August 2025 but related to the previous year. We also had the boilers replaced over the summer period and had an outlay of over £20000 in this financial year, with the remainder coming out of the next financial year. The church did undertake a fund raising appeal and managed to raise over £10000 this financial year, with a further amount running over into the next financial year.

The Church has one employee undertaking the role of Manager, Church Office.
