The trustees present their report with the charity's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Aims and Purposes
St Werburgh's Chorlton Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of cooperating with the church's clergy in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of church buildings and property.
Public Benefit Statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of the Christian faith through the provision of worship and teaching services and the relief of sickness, financial hardship and promoting good health. This has been achieved by the provision of funds and services.
Achievements & Performance
As we look back over 2023 we’re so encouraged at what God has done in and through us as we set out a vision to ‘play our part in seeing people, communities and churches come alive in Jesus’ name in Chorlton, Manchester and beyond’.
Some key achievements for the year have been launching our youth night, seeing our baby and toddler group growing, becoming a New Wine Raising Generation Minster, gathering large numbers of the community at key events throughout the year, continuing to grow our Sunday service attendance and maintaining hall bookings. These are just a few indicators that St Werburgh’ is alive and God is moving in Chorlton.
Plans for the Future
As we look to the future, a few of our key financial focuses are continuing to increase congregational giving as our church family grows, moving towards sustainability as we enter our final SDF-funded year, identifying our first planting location and continuing to wisely direct our expenditure to fulfil our vision, set out above.

Trustees Report
Reserves Policy
The church does not have in place a formal reserves policy that has been agreed upon at the point of the yearend. The PCC are in the process of establishing a reserves policy that is appropriate and suitable for the church's current situation and medium-term future plans.
Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The charity is controlled by two pieces of legislation;
The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended. This defines the principal function, or purpose, of the PCC as "promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church"; and The Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
The Church Accounting Regulations 2006 form the link between the Church Representation Rules and the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Werburgh's the membership of the PCC consists of the team rector, churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. All PCC members are trustees of the charity

Independent Examiners Report
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Werburgh's Chorlton ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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 Examiner's statement
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I have listed any material matters that have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act, or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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.
Emphasis of Matter
As part of the examination limited evidence was available to verify the year end debtor due from the Manchester Diocese for the SDF Grant.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2019 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
• All voluntary income from members of the church are recognised as donations and are included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities.
• Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
- Income resources from charitable trading activities such as the letting of the building are accounted for when invoices are drawn up (as the point of entitlement).
• Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.
- Gifts in Kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.
• Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the church is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees Annual Report.
- Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
The diocesan parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due.
Governance Costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Tangible Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
All assets costing more than £750 are capitalised and at historic cost. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged on furniture and equipment which is written off on a straight-line basis over time and estimated useful life of the asset.
Equipment 5 years straight-line Fixtures and Fittings 5 years straight-line
Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Operating Leases
Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

In a similar way the fixed asset historically sitting in the Chorlton Resource Church fund line has been transferred out to the general due to there being no restriction on the asset once the items had been initially purchased.
A transfer of £35,875 from the General Fund to the Building Project moving restricted funds received in the prior year from special offerings towards the building project.
A transfer of £14,360 from the General Fund to the designated Church Plant fund.

15 Prior Year Adjustment
Following the conclusion of the year-end accounts for the 31st December 2022, further clarification between the diocese and the Church took place, updating the closing creditor position from what the PCC owed back to the diocese. The conclusion of this was that a creditor due to the diocese was understated by £13,570. Following the conclusion of the SDF building project, the creditor at the end of the year totalled £23,279 and was to be held in the (restricted) Building fund rather than the General fund. The 2022 comparative figures in this set of accounts have been adjusted accordingly , and the original and restated figures are listed below.
