BLACKPOOL PARISH CHURCH

ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Status

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a democratically elected group of church members responsible for all church matters. Our purposes are to promote within the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC was registered with the Charity Commission on 9 September 2020

Structure, governance and management

We have filed our annual financial statements with this report for which we sought professional accountancy services to ensure we had full regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit

We are a charity governed through the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and Church Representation rules 2020.

Trustees are nominated from the members of the electoral role. Each member of the electoral role is entitled to a vote to elect those nominated according to the number of vacancies.

Those nominated will generally remain in post for 3 years before standing down.

Objectives and activities: Our Vision

As an HTB Network church, we share our vision with over 100 other churches across the country and the world.

With that in mind, everything we do will be seeking to: “play our part in the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society.” Through this, our conviction is that the negative news headlines are rewritten to sharing hope in Jesus’ name about Blackpool. We believe that God has a better story for Blackpool.

Connected funds

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Parochial Church Council is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, or those of informal gatherings of church members

St Johns' Development Fund Ltd, a Company Limited by Guarantee formed to manage the funds and related expenditure of the original redevelopment project (see note 9)

Financial review

The church has a net surplus for the year of £36,099 (2022: £88,684) before profit/ (loss) on investments. Of this £271 (2022: £0) relates to restricted funds from the endowment and -£361 (2022: £371) from the SDF and Youth Worker grants and (2022: H P Brewer £4954), -£4,052 (2022: £62,311) spent from various grants and fundraising designated for specific projects

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Reserves policy

During this period reserves have been used to support the day to day running costs of the Church. There was a surplus of £97,026 (2022: £56,785) on unrestricted funds at the year-end. The balance on the Business and Community designated fund stands at £67,962 (2022:£72,014) being the balance at 1 January 2023 less expenses in excess of funds received for various projects including Love Christmas. £4954 is held for the H P Brewer fund and £10 (2022: £371) of restricted grant income is held for SBF and Youth Worker projects.

The Endowment in respect of the Churchyard amounting to £4978 (2022: £2,242) is invested in the CBF Church Investment Fund, at valuation provided to 31 December 2023, in addition to this £150 (2022 - £150) of accumulated interest is held within the PCC current account.The dividends are assumed to roll up into the valuation pending further information as to which account they are being paid into.

Grants to be used for the costs of salaried staff and received in advance are held as restricted funds in the St Johns Development Fund bank account matched with the deferred income creditor

It is the policy of this church to hold in reserves the equivalent of six months running costs. It is also our policy to hold an amount for likely building works at the next quinquennial inspection and for repairs.

Achievements and Performance : overview from Rev Andy Dykes

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. - Psalm 127.1

Once again, it’s so exciting to be able to look back on the last year and see so many exciting ways in which God has been working through our church. Last spring, we met back in our newly renovated building to celebrate the resurrection and 11 baptisms.

Since then, so many amazing things have happened: We hosted the Encounter Conference and Bishop Jill for Pentecost.

We travelled together to Focus in the summer and saw more baptisms in September.

We gave away 3000 Love Christmas gifts and donned our tea towels for family carols.

In 2024, my hope is that we might learn to be a church where we see everyone known and everyone grown.

Doing lots of great events is all well and good but only if we’re a genuine community learning to love one another and become more like Jesus.

As always, there are so many more things to do. So many more people who need to hear the good news of Jesus. So many more in need of support. But headlines are being rewritten; lives are being transformed. Bring on next year!

Funding

We have been privileged to see members of our congregation continuing to support the church financially through a year that has been financially difficult for many. Regular giving and donations grew by 35% in the year.

We are in receipt of Strategic Development Funding to support our Resourcing Church initiatives. This funding is phased over 3 years. We have also received a number of other grants details of which are included in the relevant sections of the accounts.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Uncharged use of premises

There are a number of groups and organisations who have use of the premises and are not at present charged for that use. This use, had it been charged would have amounted to approximately £0 (2022: £0) based on an average cost of £0 (2022:£0) per session including staff set up and cleaning time.

Investment income

Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable and allocated to the appropriate fund.

Gains and losses on investments

Realised gains and losses are recognised when investments are sold. These are calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and their market value at the start of the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of gain or loss.

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs directly related to the work of the church.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements.

Where grants are received towards specific expenditure these are shown separately as income received on an accruals basis

BLACKPOOL PARISH CHURCH ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Fixed assets

Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s10(2)(a0 and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the vicar and church wardens on special trust for the Parochial Church Council and which require a faculty for disposal since the Parochial Church Council considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficial buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, and fixed assets of small value costing less than £1,000, are written off rather than capitalised.

All fixed assets held are used in the direct furtherance of the PCC's objects.

Investments

Investments are valued at Market Value at 31 December, with any change in market value being adjusted through the statement of financial activities.

Current assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors, less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Short term deposits include cash held either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

Taxation

PCCs, with an income lower than £100,000, are currently excepted by statutory instrument from registration with the Charities Commission. However, the PCC has registered in its own right with the Charities Commission and is a recognised charitable body and may claim tax refunds on Gift Aid contributions, receive investment income without deduction of income tax and benefit from the tax reliefs available to registered charities. The PCC is exempt from tax on income and gains to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. Corporation tax may become due on activities considered to be trading.
