circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any

wider community through our café, which is
open from 9am to 3.30pm on weekdays and

community for young families. The

providing lunches and a regular space for
community groups and local businesses to

people from the community coming in for
lunch and a chat. We run popular parent and

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the
end of the period		 Para 1.21 The charity ended the year with a surplus of
£4064, which was encouraging given the
defcit of £11,565 in 2023. Afer investng
heavily in the set-up of the partnership with
Foxhall & Flour in running the community
café, we are now seeing the fruits, with an
increase in income through donatons
towards the sof play and maintenance of
the community space. The staf team
reduced signifcantly during 2024 and the
decision was made to use volunteers rather
than employ a youth and children’s worker,
which has led to a reducton in staf costs.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The Trustees agreed a policy to hold 25% of
total annual budgeted expenditure in
reserve to cover essental costs in the event
of a sudden loss of income.

1 Basis of Accounting

These Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and prepared in accordance with

the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and

Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011. The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The PCC Trust is confident that, with the continued support of the congregation, the church is a going concern

The Accounts present a true and fair view and there has been no change in accounting policies as outlined above. FUNDS

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for ordinary purposes. Restricted funds relate to

a) Income from trusts 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.

Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance of that fund.

INCOME

Donations and other income are recognised when received and an estimate of income tax recoverable is credited when the related donations are recognised.

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

EXPENDITURE

All expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

The Diocesan Parish share is accounted for when paid.

Expenditure incurred in the operation of the church is classed as charitable activities.

FIXED ASSETS

Consecrated and Benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with Section 10 (2a and 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 inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time.

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2003 is written off.

The church hall is a fixed asset. Its value is zero in the books. The Lease to Inspired Generation Ltd

was renewed in January 2022 (for the purposes of Sapphires Nursery School) for a further 6.5 years
