## **Charity Registra�on Number 1192469 (England & Wales)**
Orthodox Parish of St Martin and St Helen, Colchester - Report 2023 page 1 of 4
## **Aim and purposes**
The Church Council has the responsibility of coopera�ng with our Parish Priest, Father Alexander Haig, and Assistant Priest, Father mark Shillaker, in promo�ng in the parish the whole mission of the Orthodox Church. The members of the Church Council are the Trustees of the charity and they are responsible for making certain that the parish meets its responsibili�es as a registered charity; complies with the law and is accountable to donors, beneficiaries, volunteers, and the general public.
The parish is a part of the An�ochian Orthodox Chris�an Archdiocese of the Bri�sh Isles and Ireland. The Archdiocese and the Metropolitan Archbishop set policies that all member parishes follow. The Parish makes a financial contribu�on to the running costs of the Archdiocese.
## **Objec�ves and Ac�vi�es**
The Church Council is commi�ed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The Church Council maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes sugges�ons on how our services can involve Orthodox and those seeking Orthodoxy. Within the community we have many from countries who are predominately Orthodox as well as converts from the UK and other countries. Our services and worship put faith into prac�ce through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our ac�vi�es for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in par�cular, the supplementary guidance on chari�es for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Missionary and outreach work.
## **2023 in Review**
Following the purchase of St Mar�n’s Church January 2022, the Church Council has been working on installing hea�ng, improved ligh�ng and other fixtures and church
Orthodox Parish of St Martin and St Helen, Colchester - Report 2023 page 2 of 4
furnishings. Weekday services con�nued to be held at St Helen’s Chapel, which is kept open during the day�me for pilgrims, visitors and private prayer.
Archbishop Silouan visited the parish in April and ordained Father Mark as a confessor (Pneuma�kos). We were also visited by our Archbishop in August.
In June Father Mark commenced regular study sessions for those interested in learning more about the Orthodox faith. This led to three of our catechumens being received into the Holy Orthodox Church in October.
During September both churches proved to be popular des�na�ons for many visitors on the Heritage open days.
Average a�endance at Sunday services con�nued to increase to about double the numbers prior to the disrup�ons caused by pandemic lockdowns.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is.
## **Financial Review**
Our unrestricted income for 2023 was £35,773 (2022: £31,626); our expenditure £16,072 (2022: £14,150). Our unrestricted accumulated fund is £66,585. The restricted fund for St Mar�ns at end of year stands at £271,001 (of which £240,796 is in tangible fixed assets), making total funds held £337,587.
In 2013 the Parish Council met without Father Alexander and his wife Khouria Hilary present and voted in favour of an honorarium of £500 to each of them for the hard work that they put in during Lent and in par�cular Holy Week. These honoraria con�nue to be paid and have been extended to Father Mark and Khouris Paula. No other trustee receives payments other than expenses.

**Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)**
## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME**
_This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._
|**Recognition of income**
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.|Yes

|**2.4 ASSETS**
**Intangible fixed assets**
**Heritage assets**
**Debtors**
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
**Stocks and work in**
**progress**
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
They are valued at cost.
**Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
**2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
**Tangible fixed assets for**
**use by charity**
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
**Governance and support**
**costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
They are valued at cost.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
**Redundancy cost**
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
**Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
**Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s 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.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.
