PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2024: Charity No. 1202588
The trustees of the Parochial Church Council of St Laurence Foleshill present their annual report.
Objectives and Activities
St Laurence Foleshill is a Church of England Parish Church in the Diocese of Coventry offering charitable services to the locality. We hold weekly Sunday services as well as family; children’s and youth work; food poverty relief; pastoral support; and other Christian events, courses and ministries.
The Parochial Church Council of St Laurence Foleshill (PCC) has the responsibility for promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
We are a community called to:
-
worship God
-
grow as disciples of Jesus
-
transform the communities of North Coventry in love
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church building and the church hall together with the surrounding grounds. The PCC is also responsible for maintaining a freehold property (house) in Gayer Street, Coventry that it owns, which is let out to tenants to provide additional income.

Achievements and Performance
The church works at the centre of the community in partnership with the local school, care home and other groups (such as Coventry Foodbank and Christians Against Poverty) who share our aims. The Hope Hub offers emergency food support in a warm, safe place with additional help (such as debt support) available and it is always busy. We work with the local primary school and co-ordinate regular activities for families, children and youth (including food), along with a holiday club during school holidays (including lunch at a time when there are no school meals available). The staff team offers pastoral support in various ways to those within our community. St Laurence’s Church is one of six Diocesan Mission Hubs across Coventry Diocese, supporting and resourcing leaders and churches in the development of discipleship, growing leaders and planting new worshipping communities, with a particular focus of regeneration of urban parishes in North and East Coventry. The church hall (that is the base for most activities) is also an affordable resource space for community groups to hire. We have a dedicated safeguarding lead, with regular training and support for all staff and volunteers in their work with children and vulnerable adults. We do everything we can to protect people from any form of abuse, neglect or harm of any kind.
Over the course of the year we have offered our normal range of services and activities. These include:-
-
Weekly services enabling the community to meet together to worship, with Sunday Club for primary aged children and a monthly All-Together Family worship.
-
Special services at Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Harvest.
-
Weddings, baptisms and funerals as required.
-
Distributing emergency food parcels to those in need and also offering support, a warm safe space and signposting with food and drink, a charging point and Databank available (Hope Hub).
-
Working with the local Church of England Primary School running after school clubs, gardening classes, stay and play sessions, supporting staff and hosting weekly school assemblies in the church.
-
After school activities for families (Connect).
-
A monthly informal service of worship and prayer (Encounter) which welcomes members from other local churches across the Deanery and Mission Hub.
-
Holiday clubs for families.

Youth group that is majority BAME.

We are part of Coventry North Deanery.

-
At Pentecost we visited Riley Square with chocolates, songs and invitations to a barbecue at the church.

-
The tenancy at Gayer Street was renewed for another year.
-
Repairs to the church electrical system and the lightening conductor were carried out
-
The Deanery Synod met 3 times.
There have been some staffing changes during the year. A new assistant minister was appointed in February 2024 to work with our vicar in leading the church and the Mission Hub. The Family Link Worker resigned at the end of August (to train for ordination). All volunteers and staff have been safely recruited and appropriate safeguarding training has been completed.
Our plans for the future include:-
-
We are investigating expanding the services of the Hope Hub
-
Conversations continue about a future project long-term at Riley Square.
-
We hope to appoint a Growing Faith Worker to build on the work done by our Family Link Worker, working with St Laurence’s School and St Paul’s Foleshill.
-
We hope to update the church heating system when funding is available.
We would like to thank our staff team and the large group of over 30 volunteers who contribute time and energy to help our activities run successfully. We would also like to thank our 16 regular donors, together with those who have given us one off donations and grants during the year. All this has enabled us to serve the local community in the many different ways described above.

PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2024: Charity No. 1202588
Financial Review
Review of financial position at end of year
The total receipts of unrestricted funds were £83,311. This came from donations (£41,900 including Gift Aid), letting out our hall, weddings and funerals and other operating activities (£32,702), letting out the freehold house in Gayer Street (£8,555) and other investment income (£154). We also received £25,102 of restricted donations and grants (for our Hope Hub, fabric maintenance and poor fund) and £3,564 of restricted investment income (for fabric maintenance), making our total income for 2024 £111,977.
£99,999 of unrestricted funds and £21,010 of restricted funds were spent on the activities and achievements described earlier in this report (total £121,009). This included our £30,502 contribution to the diocese (the parish share that helps provide stipends and housing for the clergy) and our staff employment costs (£28,824).
The net result for the year was a deficit of income over expenditure of £9032.
We carry forward a cash balance of £21,024 unrestricted funds and £30,103 restricted funds totalling £51,127. The unrestricted funds are split between the general fund (£3,470), the designated capital projects fund (£16,130) which is earmarked for large projects and the designated Mission Hub Fund (£1424) which is earmarked for the work of the Mission Hub.
Full details are in our Financial Statements in Appendix A.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months of unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to around £25,000. This would be held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance of £3,470 held in our general fund at the end of the year was much lower than this target . It is the PCC’s hope to increase this over time, as and when funds are available. This year our expenses exceeded our expenditure and we had to draw on the Capital Projects Fund to cover our costs.

PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2024: Charity No. 1202588
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006).
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Laurence’s the membership of PCC consists of the vicar, associate ministers and curate, the church wardens, the treasurer and PCC members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church.
All those who attend our services 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 how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC. The PCC met 6 times during the year. Some of our PCC members are paid staff or related to other PCC members. Where there is a conflict of interest these PCC members withdraw from the discussion and decision making.
In between PCC meetings the standing committee (vicar, associate minister, church wardens, treasurer) make any significant decisions, reporting back next time the PCC meets.
The staff team (ordained staff, paid staff, plus a church warden/safeguarding lead) are responsible for day-to-day decisions.
Safeguarding
The PCC of St Laurence, Foleshill is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our church community and has made the following policy commitments:-
-
Promoting a safer environment and culture
-
Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children, young people and vulnerable adults within the church
-
Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation
-
Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons
-
Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons
-
Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others
We have a dedicated safeguarding lead and regular training and support for all staff and volunteers.
