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 £24,072 (2023: £36,099) before profit/ (loss) on investments.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investment assets, which are shown at market value. They include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees consider there are sufficient funds available to enable the charity to meet all liabilities for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. ## **Funds** ## **Unrestricted general purpose fund** These represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for the application of the general purposes of the PCC. ## **Designated funds** Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside for particular purposes. Details of funds held are provided in note 11. ## **Restricted funds** These are funds subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or by the specific terms of appeal under which the funds are raised. Details of the funds held and restrictions are provided in note 11. ## **Endowment fund** Endowment funds represent capital retained permanently, income derived is used for the purpose of the endowment ## **Incoming resources** ## **Voluntary income** Collections and sundry donations are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Legacies are included in the financial statements as soon as they are legally enforceable and capable of financial measurement. Amounts received under covenant or gift aid are recognised when received. At the same time any gift aid tax due in respect of these amounts is accounted for on a receivable basis. ## **Income from charitable activities** Parochial fees due to the Parochial Church Council for weddings, funerals etc are accounted for on an event-by-event basis. ## **Other income** Rental income from the letting of church premises and car parks is accounted for when the rental is due. All other income is accounted for when received by or on behalf of the PCC.

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 Page 9 Docusign Envelope ID: 03219062-7FE3-485E-B46A-4CBA332BDEFCDocusign Envelope ID: 24DE36F8-87E8-40F4-B7CC-C7640A6A9BFB ## **BLACKPOOL PARISH CHURCH ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST** NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 ## **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.
