## **Structure and management** 

## **The PCC** 

In accordance with the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 the PCC is required to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.  The PCC is a registered charity with the Charity Commissioners. Registration No: 1164343. 

The PCC meets six times per year plus PCC Standing Committee meetings. Church members are encouraged to find out about any matters of particular interest to them by speaking to one of the PCC members.  The minutes from all PCC meetings can be obtained from the PCC Secretary. Any relevant matters arising from the PCC meetings are raised in church notices and summarised on the weekly What’s On email which is accessible on the website with extra copies available in church. 

The PCC has committed itself to appointing and financing a paid staff team, working alongside the clergy.  In addition, many members of church are involved in activities and responsibilities on a voluntary basis. 

The Wardens and Members of the PCC are elected each year at the Annual Vision Meeting (APCM) from members of the electoral roll.  The members of the PCC receive induction and ongoing training using appropriate material made available through the Diocese of London. 

There are currently no ex-officio members of the PCC. 

## **Annual Vision Meeting (AVM/** APCM **)** 

The AVM is the main meeting for the church as a whole at which elections are carried out for officers of the church, including the PCC, in line with the normal rotation of elections.  The AVM reviews the year just gone and the future vision. This is typically held in March or April, depending on the timing of Easter. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

Deanery Synod representatives are elected for a three-year term at the respective Annual Vision Meetings. Our current representatives are Caroline Ferrier, and Barbara Porter. 

## **Our vision and purpose** 

We are a faith community of **One Church: Two Locations** in Hounslow West, with a desire to worship and serve Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to love Jesus, love our church community and love our local community. We place great value in the bible, gathered worship and prayer and living out our faith in action with each other and within the wider community.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOPE CHURCH HOUNSLOW** 

## **Report and Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **2023 Report** 

2023 - a year full of blessings and challenge for us as a church. We started the year with a call to share the Lord’s loving kindness with eachother, with our local community and with all we meet and our verse of the year was Romans 12: 12 – Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 

Hope church has become established as one church, two locations and is thriving in many ways.  We have been seeing an average of 450 people each week through the various ministries of the church. 

We’ve had baptism, welcomed the new Bishop of Kensington and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby through the Bishops Mission Order for Hounslow and Southall we are involved with. We had a Kids takeover, a Ugandan takeover and an Indian takeover, Easter was a wonderful celebration with the Community Choir and a giant Easter Egg hunt and carnival, as well as the special Kings Coronation picnic. 

The power surge problems weren’t going to stop us having a special and memorable Christmas with hundreds of people coming to the various services, parties, meals, and celebrations! 

## **Staff Team & PCC** 

The staff team worked so hard in 2023 and the team continues to support each other and to give all they have to serve the Lord, His church and the community. 

- Sue left us in the Summer as she retired and moved to Leicestershire to be closer to her boys.  We are so grateful to her for her 2 ½ years on team with us. 

- Jake also left in the summer after 3 years as our youth student – he grew so much over those years and was a great support to Chris as well as doing lots of media, drumming, helping and fixing things! 

- We welcomed Fiona in September 2023 to take on the role of Community Development lead and also welcomed Patrick as youth assistant lead. 

- Chris continues to devote himself to the young people and has been leading in developing the work and seeing it grow substantially.   Chris also leads on our design & communication work. 

- Vanessa has seen Hope Haven our asylum seekers and refugees work grow, and has been developing the work of Good Company – our weekly lunch for over 50’s.  She has such a heart for those she serves. 

- The Vicar’s PA role was shared in 2023 with Kirsty covering Jo’s maternity leave January to October when Jo returned as my PA. 

- Finance and hall hire new post – The wonderful Michael Philips has been looking after our hall hirers for many years as a volunteer and he stepped down in September after some health issues – we are so grateful for all his hard work overseeing this.  Kirsty had already been leading on the day-to-day finance administration of the church and so we added hall hire to her role in October. 

- Dee has continued as our Children and Families lead while Emily went on maternity leave. In 2023 Dee lead Kids Church, Playcafe, TLG mentoring in schools; as well as Christmas & Easter activities and a family fun day. 

- Rajesh was priested in June 2023 having completed his first year of curacy training.  He continues to serve in pretty much every area of ministry and is such a man of prayer! 

- We had Angeline as our Kensington Ministry Experience Scheme student until July 2023 – she was an incredible hard worker and a particular support to Vanessa in her work. 

Graham Neilson our volunteer buildings manager has made sure we continue to run in tip top condition – a huge thank you to him for his commitment and dedication to the work here especially during the trying months following the power surge in October.

## **Report and Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve with this staff team, as well as with Wendy Fay and Gena Smith, both of whom serve as Licensed Lay Ministers. 

We have a very healthy PCC serving the church with wisdom and insight.  We met 6 times over the course of the year, following our governance calendar with regular agenda items being vicars, finance, buildings, and safeguarding reports as well as making sure all our policies are kept up to date. 

A huge thank you to our wardens, Anita Potter who served until July 2023 and then Cas Manning who was co-opted to come on board when Anita left, Rina Francis and Mano Rathan, and also to Debbie Bainbridge as PCC secretary and Kalpana Shah as treasurer – they have been brilliant, and I am so grateful for the wonderful gifts and skills they bring to the ministry here.  They are such a wonderful support, full of wisdom and integrity and they have worked so hard over the past year. 

## **Partners in the Gospel** 

Many in our church community serve sacrificially in the work of mission and ministry in our parish for which I am incredibly grateful!  The church simply could not function without every member playing their part and we are so grateful for all you do in partnering with us in the work of the Lord in this place and in our community, workplaces and networks. 

## **Lifegroups** 

We have seen our termly small groups really take off this last year with 6-7 small groups running each term and it has been great to see new leaders having a go at leading and more people involved in supporting and cheering each-other on through this ministry. 

## **Vision and Mission Action Plan** 

The 2[nd] year of our 3 year Mission Action Plan saw some wonderful answers to prayer and development on the areas we set as goals:

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOPE CHURCH HOUNSLOW** 

## **Report and Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Services in 2023** 

We started 2023 with 3 services a week. 

Our **church@ten** services looked at Vision & Values, a series called ACCEPTED, we looked at HEAVEN through the summer, and in the autumn, we looked at being WHOLEHEARTED for Jesus. We had 3 wonderful takeovers – a Ugandan and an Indian Takeover as well as a Kids Takeover – all of which were really very special. 

**church@five finished - Deeper@five began** ! Our Good Shepherd Location Sunday service started with a series on EMOTIONS & MAKE IT FUN, before focussing on the rhythms of life in Morning, Noon and Night. In the summer we worked through the book of Daniel.  These services were interactive and designed for all ages.  In the Autumn we launched DEEPER@FIVE – a place to grow deeper in prayer, worship, study and receiving both from the Holy Spirit and in Communion.  We have had some wonderful guest speakers each month and some precious times with the Lord in worship & prayer. 

**Thursday Church** continues to be a great opportunity to worship before community coffee morning, and Foodbank and we have seen community people join us here. A big thanks to Gena Smith who took on the oversight of this service, ably assisted by Anita Potter, Sue Wood, Fiona Smith, Wendy Fay and the clergy. 

## **Festivals in 2023** 

EASTER – we met at Thursday Church for Maundy Thursday service and had a powerful Good Friday service with voice overs, spoken word and worship.  Then, what a wonderful celebration on Easter day at our Good Shepherd Location with our community choir, where we saw nearly 200, many from the community come to celebrate and join in the celebrations and Easter Egg hunt in the garden!!!! 

CHRISTMAS Services were such a joy as we celebrated the birth of our Saviour and shared Good News with those we invited from our community – we saw over 500 people attend our special Christmas services. 

## **Funerals, Baptisms & Dedications** 

There have been some funerals this year but no weddings in 2023. We have had some wonderful baptisms and dedication services. 

## **Prayer** 

We have continued praying through prayer requests sent into the church from community folks and church members alike and sent to a team of people to pray on a weekly basis.  We also pray before services and ministry activities and in our services.  This is an area we are looking to grow and develop in. 

## **CHURCH WEEKEND** 

We had a special Church weekend together in June 2022 which saw the whole church come together for worship, teaching from Rev Tim Rose, sharing, prayer, food and lots of fun; with the theme ‘The Joy of the Lord is our strength!’ 

## **Pastoral Work** 

Gillian Fontaine continues to co-ordinator our Pastoral Care with me and Gena Smith as well as Lifegroup Leaders.  Thank you to all who have played their part in this work alongside the clergy and staff team.

## Independent Examiner’s Report 

For the year ended 31st December 2023 

I report to the Parochial Church Council on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Where the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**The Parochial Church Council of Hope Church Hounslow** 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 


For the year ended 31st December 2023 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The following accounting policies have been applied in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the church’s accounts. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (SORP 2015 FRS 102) and under the historical cost accounting rules. 

## **Incoming resources** 

The accounts are prepared on the accruals basis of accounting: income is recognised when receivable, except for donations of all kinds that are recognised when received: income tax recoverable is recognised at the same time as the donation. Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Legacies are only recognised when received. Donated goods are recognised at fair value. 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance condtions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability. 

## **Resources Expended** 

'Resources expended’ has a wider meaning than ‘expenditure’: it excludes the costs of fixed assets that are capitalised but includes their subsequent depreciation on the basis set out below. The categories are defined by the SORP 2015 are: 

- Costs of generating funds are those incurred in fundraising. 

- Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the PCC in the delivery of its activities and services. It includes all costs that can be allocated directly to such charitable activities. 

- Governance costs include those associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy fees. 

- Support costs are allocated based on usage level. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent funds that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application of the PCC ordinary purposes. 

## **Fixed assets and depreciation** 

Consecrated land and buildings and movable church property are excluded from the accounts by s10 of the Charities Act 2011. 

Items of plant and equipment used within the church and others premises are capitalised where acquisition value exceeds  £250. Depreciation rates are: 

|Computer Equipment|4 years|
|---|---|
|Fixtures & Fittings|10 years|



## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

The charity is able to reclaim VAT on repairs to the church because the building is Grade 2 Listed. 

## **Leases** 

Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and the outstanding future lease obligations are shown in creditors. Operating lease rentals are listed where applicable.

## Notes to the Financial Statements 


For the year ended 31st December 2023 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)** 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes funds deposited with CBF Church of England funds. 

## **Pensions** 

The church does not administer a pension fund and accrues for the cost of defined contribution schemes as incurred. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the global impact of the Coronavirus “COVID-19” on the charity.
