## **Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

The Trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. 

## **Objects:** 

The objects of the Charity for the public benefit, as per the constitution, are to advance the Christian faith in Botesdale, nearby villages and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Charity Trustees may from time to time think fit. 

This can be summarised as: 

- Providing a safe space for people to explore the Bible’s message of God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. 

- Encouraging those who respond to this message to grow as disciples. 

- Providing support for those locally who are facing particular challenges in their lives. 

- Encouraging each other to pray and worship both individually and together. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Charity is ultimately run by the Trustees.  The Trustees have the authority to exercise their powers to further the objects of the Charity.  The Trustees meet at least once a year but delegate the day-to-day decision making on the running of the Church to the Congregational Leadership Team, one of whom is also a Trustee.  The Leadership Team meets monthly to consider the management and pastoral needs of the fellowship. 

The Charity is established in the name of ‘Parkview Chapel, Botesdale (Reg.Charity No. 1170915) as a ‘Charitable Incorporated Organisation’. 

## **The church: its aims and objectives:** 

Whilst Parkview Chapel describes a building, the essence of our church life is about ordinary people whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God and who seek to live according to our understanding of the principles laid down in the New Testament for Christian living.  We welcome opportunities to join with other Christians who share this same vision. 

Parkview Chapel is a member of the ‘Evangelical Alliance’ and ‘Rural Ministries’ organisations that link together a number of churches that are similar in nature to ourselves. 

## **The year: its objectives and achievements:** 

During the year ended 31 December 2025 the church sought to fulfil its objectives in the following ways, having had regard to the guidance given by the Commission on public benefit, and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.  Below is a summary of how we achieved this in the past year. 

## Regular Programme; 

- As reported in previous years’ trustees’ reports, we have a regular programme of services and other events, with some occurring weekly, some monthly and some annually.  The aim of all of this is to; help those attending put faith into practise through prayer, scripture, music and communion; and to meet people in our community, to build relationships, and ultimately to introduce them to Jesus:

## **Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## Sundays; 

- In our Sunday morning services during January we were studying the small New Testament book of Jude.  In February and into March we looked at Esther under the series title ‘Character under pressure’.  After Easter, as a Church, we did ‘The Romans Course’ from the Bible Society.  From September through to the end of November we reflected on ‘Questions Jesus asks’.  Finally for Christmas we considered ‘Christmas according to Luke’. Each week the message delivered on Sunday was linked to the material that we used in our midweek Life Groups. For our teaching we utilise the entire Bible, as we believe all of God’s Word is relevant to us today.  Therefore we have an unofficial rotation of teaching, looking at the Old Testament, then the New Testament, and then the Gospels.  However this does not prevent us from including series that do not specifically fit any of those categories, such as The Bible Course which we did in 2024. 

- Once a month we host ‘Coffee on a Sunday.’  This is a café style service.  We still follow whichever teaching series we are on, but rather than have a speaker we discuss questions and share thoughts with each other. 

- In August we enjoyed our annual day out to Southwold.  This day we do not have a service, instead we go and sit on the beach, play games, swim and eat ice cream. 

- We have hosted four shared meals this year.  These always directly follow a service, and many regulars stay and eat together. 

## Children’s And Youth Work; 

- Each Sunday evening a group of young people meet for PYP.  This has a varied programme of activities, from reflections on how the message of the Bible impacts lives to a variety of social events. 

- Our Junior Friday Club, for children at primary school, is very popular.  At this we read Bible stories, do craft activities, cook, play games, all of things you would expect with such an age group.  Through this Kevin Gladwell, our Church and Community Pastor, has built many relationships with the parents of the children. 

- The numbers for our Senior Friday Club have reduced over recent months for this drop-in type club; there have been issues with a group of young people coming to the villages and making a nuisance of themselves resulting in occasional attendance by police and discussions with the local parish council; both have been very supportive of what goes on at Friday club and attribute no blame for the misbehaviour to Parkview Chapel. 

- Kevin Gladwell also regularly visits two local primary school and takes assemblies. 

- Junior Church runs on a Sunday morning during term time whilst the preacher delivers their message. Numbers vary depending on which families attend the service. 

## Events; 

- We believe that at the core of our faith is relationship, both heavenward to our heavenly Father and then with those around. We therefore aim to use regular events and special occasions to show this practically, notably through: 

   - Our monthly coffee morning, ‘Coffee on the Corner’. This continues to be a really popular event. 

   - The two ‘Men’s Breakfasts’ we hosted this year.  Many who come are not Christians. We always invite someone to come and share something with us.  This year we had

## **Parkview Chapel, Botesdale** 

## **Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

a visit from Simon Hewitt of ‘Firefighters for Christ’ at the April breakfast and Paul Harvey from ‘Waysport’, a Christian rallying team in October 

- ‘Fish And Chip Quiz Night’ – In March, 17 teams, totalling 102 people, attended a fun night of quizzing and food. 

- An indoor fete type event, which we held in June.  A neighbour of the Church owns many of these types of games.  This was aimed at the families who attend our children's work on a Friday.  This was such fun that people didn’t want to leave! 

- Two ‘Ladies Craft Evenings’ , which were organised during 2025 and were greatly appreciated by all who attended. 

- A visit from Tom Elliott (comedy magician) and Charlie Green (singer and instrumentalist). This was held in November with the intention being to kick-off Christmas at Parkview, with the decorations up, mulled wine, mince pies etc.  It proved to be a very popular event and it was a great start to the festive period. 

## Serving Our Community; 

- A number of groups hire areas of the building to run their events and we are pleased to make it available to them in exchange for an appropriate donation. 

- On a Monday and Wednesday we host two local village art groups. 

- On a Friday we have ‘Positive Steps,’ a fitness group for the elderly. 

- We have two local bands who use our building for rehearsals on a regular basis. 

- Our relationship with the Botesdale Health Centre has grown enormously this past year. Parkview is now the host for a weekly walking group, a monthly cancer support group. 

- The Mobile Post Office van has continued to use the Parkview car park on a weekly basis, which is proving vital for those who do not find travel easy. 

- Citizens Advice came for a short period to allow a drop in session for those in need. 

## **Trustees** 

## Selection and Induction of Trustees 

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees the existing trustees give consideration to the skills, knowledge and experience that an individual possesses and how that will contribute to effective administration of the charity. 

On appointment, a new trustee is given a copy of the current version of the constitution together with a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and Statement of Accounts.  New trustees are also directed to the Charity Commission guidance for trustees, and in particular to both its general guidance on public benefit and that on public benefit of charities which advance religion. 

Each trustee serves for a period of three years, after which they are required to offer themselves for re-selection or stand down. 

## Meetings 

The Trustees met twice during the year, May and November, and were kept informed by circulation of the minutes of the monthly leadership team meetings in the intervening months. 

Their continuing support and guidance are greatly valued by the congregational leadership team.

## **Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **Leadership** 

The congregational leadership team meets monthly to consider matters relating to the life of the church.  Each month financial updates are circulated so that finances can be monitored. 

During the year 2 sub-groups of the team met, one to consider finance matters and the other safeguarding. 

The rotating programme of reviewing key policies annually has continued and adjustments to either the policy or its implementation were made as required. 

## **Beyond our villages** 

Contributions continue to be collected for the Waveney Foodbank and delivered to their premises. Gifts were passed to a number of bodies whose work has similar aims to Parkview Chapel. 

## **Premises** 

PAT testing of appliances took place again this year. 

A Fire Risk Assessment was undertaken, and the report highlighted a few areas that needed attention; these have been addressed subsequently. 

During the year a 3 bedroom tenanted house was gifted to the church and the trustees were very grateful for this very generous gift.  The management of the property is now the responsibility of the trustees, two of who have been appointed to take the lead in this. 

## **Volunteers** 

Although we have just one paid employee, much of the work of the Charity is undergirded by generous giving of their time by many volunteers. 

## **Health and Safety** 

Our safeguarding lead and her deputy have worked this year to continue to update DBS checks on trustees and volunteers as necessary and are looking to further review the safeguarding policy in the light of updated guidance. 

A review of the Health & Safety policy was completed. A formal inspection of the premises has been made on a regular basis and its findings recorded on a checklist. Any issues noted are dealt with. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have taken account of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit where appropriate when exercising their powers and duties, planning and reviewing the aims, objectives and activities of Parkview Chapel. Throughout this report, Parkview Chapel has sought to demonstrate the ways that it delivers benefit to the public —whether they are members of our congregation, another church or have no church /religious affiliation.

## **Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities** 

Charity law requires us as trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the Charity for the year. 

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities. 

## **Serious Incidents** 

We are thankful to report that there were no serious incidents to be reported during 2025. 

## **Financial Review** 

Church receipts into the Unrestricted Fund for the period came to £273,465 as shown on the Income and Expenditure account. The cash receipts into the Unrestricted Fund amounted to £51,465, with £222,000 being the value of the property gifted to the charity and noted under the premises section above.  Much of cash received is given in a way that makes use of the government Gift Aid scheme to reclaim tax on the gifts as well as the Gift Aid on Small Donations Scheme. 

Expenses from the Unrestricted Fund for the period came to £47,474 and the value of investments fell by £1,225. Overall, there was a surplus for the period of £224,766, but excluding the value of the property the ‘cash’ surplus is £2,766 on this fund, although it should be noted that part of this is due to the change in accounting methodology in this year. 

Regular financial updates are produced for leadership group meetings. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is considered important to maintain a level of unrestricted cash reserves sufficient to maintain the ongoing activities of the charity should there be a significant change in, for example, the level of giving by donors.  Having such a reserve would allow time to make necessary adjustments.   As of 31 December 2025, the level of unrestricted reserves was £34,436.  This is above the level as per the reserves policy but with a building that is nearly 40 years old a programme of refurbishment is currently underway as described above which will impact expenditure.

## Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees Year ended 31 December 2025 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Parkview Chapel ('the Charity') for the year ended 31 December 2025 on pages 8 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. 

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

## **Parkview Chapel, Botesdale** 

## **Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 (the Charities SORP). 

In previous years accounts have been produced on a Receipts and Payments basis as appropriate to the turnover in those years.  In the year covered by this report, as a result of the gift of a property to the Charity, the turnover has exceeded £250,000 necessitating these accounts to be prepared on an Accruals basis.  It is expected that in future years accounts will once again be prepared as Receipts and Payments.  Thus the previous year’s comparative figures are from accounts prepared as Receipts and Payments. 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:- 

## **1.2  Going concern** 

The Trustees assess whether the use if going concern in appropriate, ie whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast a significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern.  The Trustees make this assessment in respect of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.  The Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. 

## **1.3 Income** 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the Charity.  Planned giving receivable and other donations under Gift Aid are recognised when received.  The Charity is not registered for VAT. 

## **1.4 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is included on an accrual basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. 

## **1.5 Tangible Fixed Assets – Land and Buildings** 

Land and buildings are not depreciated.  The charity maintains its property in a high state of repair to ensure its useful economic life continues for an indefinite period.  As a result, the buildings are not depreciated, as the annual depreciation charge would be immaterial.  The trustees perform and annual impairment review of the carrying value of the building.  Where the estimated recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA.) 

The value of the church premises has been included on the balance sheet this year, making use of its insured value as the basis for valuation. 

Page 10 



## **Parkview Chapel, Botesdale** 

## **Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 December 2025** 

## **1.6 Repairs and Maintenance** 

Expenses for repair and maintenance are recognized as expenses in the SoFA in the period in which they are incurred in common with other expenditure. 

## **2. Funds** 

## **Restricted Funds** 

**Employment Support** is a fund that was established to support those who lack confidence to build a sense of self-worth through employment. However, as detailed in last year’s report, those funds were repurposed during 2025 to establish a fund that was available for the church pastor to use at their discretion. 

**Pastor’s Discretionary Fund** provides fund for the church pastor to use at their discretion without feeling the need for it to be cleared with others on the Leadership Team first. 

**Croatia Mission Trip-** this is a restricted fund for the purpose of supporting young people to go on a mission trip to Croatia each summer.  Any balance is carried forward to future years. Due to a variety of factors this has not taken place in recent years, but it is anticipated that it could at some future date. 

**Legacy -** This is as a result of a legacy that came to Parkview Chapel in September 2017. 

## **Designated Fund** 

**Building –** this was a fund established on transfer of assets to the CIO in 2019 when the decision was taken to apply the capital and income from this fund to support the ongoing need for building maintenance 

## **Unrestricted Fund** 

This is an unrestricted fund, and its purpose is to meet the day to day running costs of the fellowship including local outreach and pastoral care.  From time to time the leaders may choose to transfer some of the funds to support one of the other funds as necessary.
