INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE PARISH OF TONGE MOOR, BOLTON ST AUGUSTINE & ST AIDAN

I report on the accounts of the parish of Tong Moor, Bolton St Augustine & St Aidan for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Respective responsibilities of PCC and examiner

As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the 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 Act.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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 respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

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

ST AIDAN HALL'l'TH'WOOD, BOLTON

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

For the year ending 31 st December 2024

Financial Review 2024

The rising cost of living affects us all and despite every effort to reduce overheads our expenditure exceeded income, and the chart printed below reflects this. As we all know, this is unsustainable so your PCC made the decision in autumn 2024 to hold a Stewardship Campaign to try to secure the financial security of our two churches, hoping that Our Lord's inspiration and guidance would help those who felt they could give more to do so. Because pledges of increased giving were only received in the last month of the financial year, the chart is influenced by the shortfall generated earlier in the year. However, rising prices, particularly for gas and electricity, will continue to affect our ability to pay our way, and I plead with you to be always aware of our financial situation, and never complacent. All money-raising activity is vital if we want to continue to develop and thrive.

One of our largest bills is the Parish Share, paid to the Diocese to allow them to provide priests to continue the work of the church; if parishes pay less than their designated amount, the Diocese cannot provide enough priests, even where parishes share a priest. In acknowledgement of their belief that that ours is a thriving parish, our Diocese agreed to substantially reduce the amount of our Parish Share for three years, and in 2024 cut our Share from over £42,000 to £24,000, which we were able to pay in full. We are truly grateful for this, and for all the unstinting help, support and training staff at Manchester Diocese continue to offer us. We are part of the Diocesan Gift Aid lite scheme; if you are a UK tax payer, please consider Gift Aiding any donations you make as it will swell the value of your donation at no additional cost to you - the government will pay us the value of the tax you will have paid on what you donate to us. Please remember that you must be a UK taxpayer to do this.

Our Parish rooms are now in great demand, especially for community use, and we have been able to welcome the Tonge & Haulgh Community Choir, Tonge & Haulgh Together, the Reach Family Project, line Dancing classes, the Bus Preservation Group and the National Handbell Ringers to St Augustine's Hall as well as our own Brownies, Bible Studies Group, Walsingham Cell, Mothers' Union, Wednesday Coffee Shop and many social events. It continues to grow as a venue to serve our local community and to offer wellbeing and enjoyment to all. There are also rooms still available at St Aidan's suitable for meetings or offices for starter businesses.

Our beautiful and well used Hall is at the moment let down by our somewhat dated toilet facilities, and if we can secure our day-to-day finances, we have ambitious plans to improve our toilet facilities and most of all to make them wheelchair and mobility friendly. This forms part of our Mission to allow everyone access with dignity to our worship and social spaces, and will make it possible to use our Hall in even more diverse and creative ways to serve our community. We also hope in the near future to improve energy efficiency at St Aidan's by replacing ageing single glazing with double glazing. If you are able to support our mission with financial donations, by gifts of your time and expertise, by recommending us for grants or if you would kindly remember us when writing your Will, be assured that your gift will be truly appreciated by the whole community of St Augustine's and St Aidan's.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2024

I. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have be n prepared on an accruals basis in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the SORP 2015 and have been prepared llllder the historical cost convention. Investment as ets are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, as ets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups which owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

2. FUNDS Endowment Funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained. Only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds, depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established. No endowment funds existed at 31/12/2024. Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endown1ents which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

3. INCOMING RESOURCES Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies arc accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

4. RESOURCES EXPENDED

Grants and donations arc accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. AmounL� received specifically for missions are treated as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

5. FIXED ASSETS

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with S(2Xa) of the Charities Act 1993. Moveable church furniture held by the vicar and church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). Assets acquired before 2000 are not valued as there is insufficient cost information. Until 2006 no individual item had cost more than £ I 000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred.

Any equipment is depreciated using three possible methods. Short lived as ets - 20% straight line method. Medium & long term assets - 25% and 15% reducing balance method respectively. An as ets register is maintained to track a�set values. Equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less is written off when the asset is acquired.

6. INVESTMENTS Investments arc shown at market value at 31'[1 ] December 2024.

7. AGENCY COLLECTIONS

Where the PCC acts as a collection agency for monies received for and paid out to third parties (for instance retiring collections for prespecified charities, Walsingham Cell subscriptions etc.) these are deemed not to form the funds of the PCC. A full list of Agency Collections is available for inspection (at any reasonable time).
