NORTH HINKSEY WITH BOTLEY PCC CHARITY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Charitable Status
North Hinksey with Botley PCC Charity is a charity, registered in England, number 1175652.
Trustees
The Trustees who have held office at any point during the year ended 31 December 2022 and to the date of this report are as follows:
Rev Clare Sykes Rev Richard Budgen Jane Buswell Roger Dalrymple Karin Dawe Dudley Hoddinott June Hoddinott Stephen Kinsey Bob Johnston Hugh Manson Lucy Mangua
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity was established by a governing document (Constitution) adopted in 1957. It was formed in order to acquire the assets and liabilities of the North Hinksey with Botley PCC, Oxford, an excepted charity.
Additional trustees may be appointed by the church meeting; all new trustees are offered appropriate training in order to fulfil their role.
Objectives and activities
The object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public, in accordance with the directions of the Church of England. It carries out this purpose by providing a place where all are welcome to participate in regular public worship.
The charity serves the whole community by hiring out premises and providing services for a wide range of community groups and activities.
Achievements and performance
The charity has maintained a regular pattern of worship and witness to its members and to the wider community, both through worship in the church buildings, and through services and other activities provided online. Numbers participating in regular Sunday worship have held up well.
Public benefit
The Trustees of the charity have had due regard both to the objectives of the charity, as set out above, and also to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission, in exercising their powers and duties. All activities are undertaken in furtherance of the charity’s objects, as outlined above.
Risk management
The principal risks the charity may face are perceived to be inadequate future funding and the possibility of safeguarding issues arising in dealing with children and vulnerable adults. The policy of the Trustees is to ensure the promotion of health and safety in church buildings and their environs. Safeguarding risks are mitigated by nominated safeguarding officers reporting back to the PCC.
2
In partnership with the Diocese of Oxford, the charity has commissioned a feasibility study to examine the potential for amending and/or developing the site on which the church of St Peter and Paul, the Church Hall, the office building known as Hinksey Court and the Rectory are situated. This is with a view to improving spiritual and community benefits as well as increasing its income and assets. This will take some time to come to fruition. The charity is operating with a deficit on its general fund which existing funds are covering but which is not sustainable in the long term.
Financial Review
Income for the year totalled £107,693 (2021 £89,127); expenditure totalled £137,856 (2021 £99,833). The net deficit of £30,163 (2021 deficit of £10,706) has been added to, or deducted from reserves, resulting in funds carried forward of £135,642, of which £98,264 were endowed or restricted funds.
Voluntary income, mostly from church members, improved by 10%. Income from hirings for the year totalled £24,556 (2021 £15,839), COVID restrictions having been removed. One large expenditure was on the renewal of St Peter and Paul’s heating.
The Trustees are satisfied that the unrestricted and designated funds balance of £37,378 is adequate to underpin future activities, and that the charity remains a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing this report.
Plans for Future Periods
The church’s spiritual and communal activities will continue. The estate review noted above will seek, among other benefits, to strengthen our financial position.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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. 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.
So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant information (information needed by the independent examiner in connection with preparing his report) of which the charity’s examiner is unaware, and each Trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the examiner is aware of that information.
Independent Examiner
Peter Stevenson has signified his willingness to continue in office and a resolution to re-appoint him as examiner will be proposed at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
Approved by the Trustees on 02 May 2023, and signed by order of the Trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of North Hinksey with Botley (Registered Charity No. 1175652) This report on the financial stateinents ot" the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages I to l O, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations,) and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act,). Respective Responsibilities of the PCC and Examiner As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those fmancial statements in accordance with the ternis of the Regulations. Basis of Independent Examiner's Report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the fmancial statements with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanation from you as members of the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met" or (2)to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
