licbenefit. The trustees believe that the public benefits of the PCC’s
work are:
The PCC’s charitable objects (Promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church) equate to the advancement of religion, which is recognised as a charitable purpose having public benefit.Allregular public worship is provided free of charge and open to all. In addition, the PCC’s activities as listed above have further public benefits: for example, teaching and taking assemblies offer advancement of education which is recognised as a charitable purpose having public benefit.Donations to other charitiesand our own projects provide public benefits in the relief of poverty and need, often for minority groupswith particular needs such as the elderly. Any member of the public may take part in Church of England activities and services so benefits are to the whole public.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and
Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and
expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are
required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the
financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the
assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 24[th] April 2023.
