Th¢ PCC remains committed to the Brighton Wagner Group of parishes and a programme of
¢elebrdtions has been drawn up for patronal festivals and other major solemnities. The clergy,
together with lay representatives, continue to meet oa a regular basis. There wa8 also another
Group Pilgrimage to Walsinghatn in Au8USt 2024 wlLere old acquaintanLw were renewed and
new frKendsbips were made and another is planned for July 2025. The Easter cdebration went

The prospect of redevelopment of the church continues apace and meetings have been held
throughi)ut the year with Sir P&er Field fa¢ilitatiog advancements and recently fonnal
consultations with the DAC.
The close rdationship between the worshipping c<)mmunity and that of St Martin's School
continues to prosper. Mrs Joshi continues to develop this link and takes #n acttve part in
promoting s¢h(x)I worship.. The Cixmoil noted that the New Wagner Tnth had financiaEIy
supported the Year 6 tsip to St Paul's Cathedral and the Chi¢hester I£avers' Service

Flower Festival will add to this fund.
It is sad that people do not come forward to open the church on a voluntary basis. However,
every effort is nwle to keep it open whilst Sacristy and maintenanc£ work is undertaken. Use
of the churth by the local ¢ommunity, indudin8 three local authority primary School4

The family tables at the back of church continue to be a vglued rescrtwce and the counctl

inCre￿e on this figure for 2025.
Currently. the parish is meeting 55.50/0 of the costs allocated to this parish compared with
560/0 paid last year. It is also important to no* that approximately 75 % of the total paid

Cluistian family throughout the whole Church of Englanl including as8i8tance towards the
upkeep of churches less able to manage than ourselves.

Ind•p•ndent examlnafs r&port to the PCC of St Martin, St Wllfrfd and St Alban Brlghton
This 18 my report to the Parochial Church Council of th8 E¢de8iastieAI Parish {PCCI of St Martin,
St Wilfrid and St Alban Brighton on the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2024 set
out on pages 7 to 15.
Resp•ctfv• r•spon$iblliti08 of tha PCC and the oxamlnor
The PCC members are r￿ponSIble for the preparation of the finan*2al reports. The PCC members
c<)nsider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 {'the
Charities Acf) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilty..
to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioner under section 145{5}{b) of the Chaiities Act, and
to state whether parti¢%lar matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnefs feport
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. That examination indude5 a review of the a¢¢ounting records kept by the PCC and
comparison of the accounts pr&sented with those records. It also includes considering any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you, as trustees,
con￿mIng any suth matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audlt, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a Irue and fair view and the report is limtted to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Indopendent examinerf$ statoment
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
1. which gives me ￿aSonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 of the Charities Act..
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wsth the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not bee
2. to which, th ￿Y
et., or
pinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a prop8r
understathdihg
the accounts to be reached.
