The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** The activities are: - Regular public worship open to all - The provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation - The provision of pastoral care, including visiting the sick and the bereaved - Teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups - Taking of religious assemblies in schools - The provision of a youth club with a Christian ethos - Promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings and the distribution of literature - Promoting the whole mission of the church through provision of activities for senior citizens, parents and toddlers and other special need groups - Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas. ## **Public Benefit** The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. 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. All regular 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 charities and our own projects provide public benefits in the relief of poverty and need, often for minority groups with 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. ## **Volunteers** The Trust relies heavily on volunteers and would not be able to function without their generous giving of both time and finances. _Page3_ **Registered Charity No** ## **Achievements and Performance** Reports from all the church groups active within this last year are included as an Appendix to this Report. They are available by way of the church website www.nwanglicanchurch.co.uk ## **Financial Review** The Church’s principal source of income is the voluntary giving of its members. When this is gift aided, the Church is able to reclaim basic rate income tax on the giving, up to 25% of the net gift. The results for the year are as shown on pages 8 - 12 in the accounts as prepared by our Independent Examiner. We thank God for His generous provision during 2023, which enabled us to sustain the ministry. We continue to pray that this will continue. _Page4_ **Registered Charity No** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** Registered Charity Number 1172631 **Principal address The church meets at** 20 Ribble Close Redwell Primary School Wellingborough Barnwell Road Northants Wellingborough NN8 5XJ NN8 5LQ ## **Trustees** PCC members who have served during the year ended 31 December 2023 and until the date this report was approved. **Vicar** RevDawnAirey Chairman **Curates** Ben Scales Livvi Scales **Churchwardens** David Wells Helen Cracknell **Assistant** Elizabeth Holbrook **Churchwarden** Heidi Ellson **Deanery Synod Reps** ## **Elected Members** Alan Palmer Jane Bell Marion Electoral Roll Officer Darker Rob Ordinand Seaman Melanie Hartung Sally Quincey PCC Secretary Fiona Clarke Pauline Ball _Page5_ ## **Registered Charity No** **Others (not members of the PCC)** Safeguarding Officer Stewardship Officer Parish Administrator John Gilyead Jeremy Cox Amanda Allen **Independent Examiner** ## **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. _Page6_ **Registered Charity No** Approved by order of the board of trustees on 29[th] April 2024.
