## _Charity registration number: 1193760_ 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent [currently in vacancy], in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The parish comprises of four districts, each with its own place of worship and associated district church council (DCC) that is responsible for the maintenance of the district’s church building. The Reverend Geoffrey Eze takes responsibility for the district of All Saints, Hanley, where the DCC is also responsible for the maintenance of All Saints Church Hall, adjacent to the church.  The district of Christ Church, Fenton, St Paul’s, Mount Pleasant and the Minster Church of St Peter ad Vincula rest directly under the responsibility of the Rector. 

The PCC is committed to supporting each district church, welcome as many people as possible to worship and enabling them to become part of the Christian community. The PCC coordinates the activity of district church councils as they promote worship locally. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through nonsacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to serve people in the local community more broadly. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit – specifically for the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit. The trustees have had regard to this guidance in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by: 

- Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and 

- Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. 

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the four district churches and All Saints Church Hall. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Please see separate document.

## **Financial Review** 

Net Total Assets: £567,513 2024 [£483,259 2023] Excess: £73,115 2024 – Unrestricted excess: £38,948 Restricted excess: £34,167 [Excess: £40,637 2023] 

The accounts for the parish are consolidated from the accounts of the respective district church councils. 

## **Fenton Christ Church:** 

Net Total Assets: £388,101 2024 [£297,011 2023] Excess: £870 2024 – Unrestricted excess: £870 [Excess: £13,977 2023] 

## **Hanley All Saints:** 

Net Total Assets: (£40,654) 2024 [(£43,520) 2023] Excess: £2,866 – Unrestricted excess: £2,497 Restricted excess: £370 [Deficit: (£5,036) 2023] 

## **Mount Pleasant St Paul:** 

Net Total Assets: £5,041 2024 [£15 2023] Excess: £5,025 – Unrestricted excess: £5,025 [Excess: £2,758 2023] 

## **Stoke Minster:** 

Net Total Assets: £215,025 2024 [£229,752 2023] Excess: £64,352 – Unrestricted excess: £30,555 Restricted excess: £33,797 [Excess: £28,938 2023] 

Each of the district churches is responsible for meeting the local costs of ministry and mission. In addition each district church council makes contributions towards central costs for the parish in administration. 

Common Fund (formerly Parish Share) is the contribution made by each church to the costs of ministry and mission across the Diocese of Lichfield.  Each Church pays their share of the Common fund into the account of Stoke Minster and the Diocese debit the full amount of the request each month. 

The Common fund request for 2024 was paid in full and the Parish received a total write-off package of £27,055 reducing the liability to £54,110 2024 [ £81,165 2023]. 

Common Fund arrears do not themselves constitute a legally enforceable debt. Were they such, the PCC would be required to take consideration of arrears in reaching a judgement as to whether it continues to be a ‘going concern.’ The PCC would clearly wish to meet its responsibilities in full. Whilst the PCC has been able to accomplish this over the last year, it continues to review its activities in the light of financial reporting. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £36,690 [£10,214 2023]. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was £33,188 [(£15,097) 2023] which is slightly lower than this target.  However, £4,082 is held in designated funds which could be transferred to General fund.  The PCC are aware and continue to monitor the situation. 

_Page 3_ 



## **Investment Policy** 

The district churches of Christ Church, Fenton and Stoke Minster both have investments administered by CCLA (and in the latter case also a deposit fund). 

The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000.  As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken.  This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance (CCLA) in London. 

The charity’s investment policies are based on two key principles: - 

- Ethical Investment – this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders. 

- Long-term responsibilities – the trustees are aware of their long-term responsibilities in respect of the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions. 

Investment policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regard to the need for the preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating income at excessive or high risk – known as “purchasing income”, where high returns are guaranteed at the expense of capital. 

In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the real value of its funds.  Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made: 

The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following: “We aim to invest in companies that: 

- will develop their business in the interests of shareholders; 

- demonstrate responsible employment practices; 

- are conscientious concerning issues of corporate governance, the environment and human rights; 

- are sensitive to the community in which they operate.” 

Planned giving, collections and donations are the main sources of fund raising along with tax recoverable. 

The CBF Investment Fund is managed by CCLA whose statement on investment policy is outlined at www.ccla.co.uk/aboutus/policies-and-reports/policies/climate-change-and-investment-policy – the PCC also notes the Church of England’s General Synod motion on Climate Change approved in February 2020 (see www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/news/general-synodsets-2030-net-zero-carbon-target). 

## **Safeguarding** 

The Parochial Church Council believes that it has fulfilled its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). A new Parish Safeguarding Officer, Justin Ntambineza, has been recruited but subsequently moved away from Stoke. Two replacements, Diane Dubley and Trina Rule, have been recruited. The Parish Safeguarding Policy is reviewed annually and is available to view at www.safeguarding.stokeminster.org. A copy is also available on display on the noticeboard of district churches. 

## **Reporting Serious Incidents** 

A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss of the charity’s money or assets, damage to the charity’s property or harm to the charity’s work or reputation. 

The trustees have given consideration of potential Serious Incidents and concluded that the threshold for reporting to the Charity Commission was not met in the last year. 

## **Fundraising** 

The PCC reports on the fundraising activities of the respective district churches in the parish. The PCC is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful. Neither the PCC or its respective district church councils has used commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. 

_Page 4_ 



## **Volunteers** 

The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work across our district churches in the parish to ensure that we are the welcoming, attractive and inclusive communities that the Church is called to be. Without the support of volunteers, including from those who would not consider themselves necessarily a part of the worshipping community, our churches could not serve their communities as they do. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for child protection and work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England (PCC Powers Measure 1956, and the Church Representation Rules 2006) and is a Registered Charity (No. _1193760)_ .  The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2nd January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (CRR). A Scheme for the parish was made under CRR Rule 18 of 1 February 2018. This explains how district church councils are constituted as well as their delegated powers. 

A District Church Council is formally a sub-committee of the Parochial Church Council. The PCC has authority to revoke any and all of the automatically delegated powers of a District Church Council (as specified in the Scheme for the Parish of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton and effective from 1 March 2018) whilst such District Church Council is in abeyance and not otherwise constituted (as agreed at a Special Parochial Church Meeting (09/11/2022). 

The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll as well as those elected to serve on the PCC by respective annual meetings of the four district churches.  The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese.  Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC as well as their respective DCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters.  The PCC usually meets at least 4 times a year.

## **PCC Membership** 

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) usually meets in May each year to elect members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) for the following year. With the exception of those elected to the Deanery Synod on a three-year term of membership, all members of the PCC are elected on a one year term in accordance with the Scheme for the parish (see above). 

## **PCC Standing Committee** 

In view of the small size of the Council, no Standing Committee of the Council was constituted, all business, in effect, being conducted by the full Council as necessary. 

## **Related Parties** 

## **Trustees’ Remuneration & Expenses** 

No trustees received remuneration from the PCC in association with their role on the trustee body. 

2 trustees have been paid £1,992 2024 [£2,721 2023] for travel and subsistence during the year. 

## **Related Parties** 

No other expenses were paid to any other PCC member, persons closely connected to them or related parties. 

Donations from related parties (PCC members) totalled £2,240 2024 [£9,042 2023].

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of the PCC of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton** 

Registered charity number: _1193760_ 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2024 which are set out on the following pages. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility 

- 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 Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

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 the 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** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

- 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 come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **The Parish of Stoke and Fenton Notes to the Financial Statements** 

For the year ended 31[st] December 2024 

## **Accounting Policies** 

The Financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis. 

There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. 

## **Cashflow Statement** 

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a cashflow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000. 

## **Going Concern** 

The free reserves on 31 December 2024 were £33,188 [£15,097) 2023].  If we add the designated funds to this figure, then we have £37,270 [(£1,695) 2023].  There has been a huge improvement since 2023 which is partly due to the write off of Common fund [Parish Share] arrears of £27,055 in 2024.  The remaining Common Fund [Parish Share] arrears currently stand at £54,110 2024 [£81,165 2023].  The Common fund arrears are not legally enforceable so if we were to take this out of the equation then the free reserves would be £87,298 2024 [£66,068 2023].  This of course would put the Parish in a more favourable position.  If the Common Fund arrears are going to be excluded when looking at Going Concern, then the parish needs to inform the Archdeacon and the Area Bishop.  A formal write off package has now been approved by the PCC of Stoke and Fenton which will see the arrears written off by December 2026. 

## **Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors** 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. 

## **Description of Funds** 

**Unrestricted funds** are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report. 

An explanation of purpose of each Designated fund is as follows: 

## **Fenton Christ Church** 

- Christ Church Fabric – Set aside for the fabric of the Church. 

- Christ Church Reserve – Monies towards the cost of a sound system at Christ Church. 

## **Stoke Minster** 

- Stoke Minster Fabric – For repairs and maintenance of the church fabric at Stoke Minster. 

- Community Investment – Historic fund not used and closed during 2024. 

- Team – Minster – For the activities of the Parish as a whole. 

## **Hanley All Saints** 

- All Saints Hall – For repairs and maintenance of the Church Hall at All Saints Hanley. 

_Page 10_ 



**Restricted funds** comprise of two elements :- 

- a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest 

- 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. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

An explanation of purpose of each Restricted fund is as follows: 

## **Fenton Christ Church** 

- Christ Church Fenton – For repairs and maintenance of Christ Church. 

## **Stoke Minster** 

- Stoke Minster Charity – For receiving charitable donations for various causes. 

- Stoke Minster Christmas – For Christmas decorations 

- Stoke Minster Choir – For Choir and Music. 

- Stoke Minster Community Champion – Grant for Community aid 

- Stoke Minster Lighting - for lighting project 

- Stoke Minster Organ – For maintenance of the organ at Stoke Minster 

- Stoke Minster Community Investment – A fund for activities funded by the publicly fund Community Investment fund. Fund Value £17.  Transferred to General to bring to nil and close in 2024. 

## **Hanley All Saints** 

- All Saints Restoration – For the restoration project at All Saints Church 

- All Saints Underfloor Heating – For the development of underfloor heating at All Saints Church. 

**Endowment funds** are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

An explanation of purpose of each Endowment fund are as follows: 

## **Fenton Christ Church** 

- Christ Church Investment – Historic endowment for the support of mission and ministry at Christ Church. 

## **Stoke Minster** 

- Stoke Minster Investments – Historic endowment for the support of mission and ministry at Stoke Minster 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 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. 

## **Resources Expended** 

Grants and donations are 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.   Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Governance and Support Costs** 

Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support.  Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage. 

_Page 11_ 



## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a) &(C) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens 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). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. 

## **Investments** 

Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end.  Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments. 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount.  Subsequently they are measured as cash expected to be received. 

## **Creditors and Accruals** 

Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.  Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
