Our Vision
Called to be a faithful community of mercy, generosity and kindness
Objectives
The main objectives of the charity are:
-
Promoting the whole mission of the church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is responsible for cooperating with the Clergy to meet this objective;
-
Enabling as many people as possible to worship at St Mary Magdalene Church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of activities throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how we can involve the many groups that live within our parish; and
-
Putting faith into practice, ‘Living God's Love', in our services and worship through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, the PCC have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)', and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We aim to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
Worship and prayer, learning about the Gospel, and development of their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ as both Saviour and Lord. There is also provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
In particular, our aims for 2025 were:
-
Appointing a new incumbent following the resignation of Revd Emma Hopegood Jones
-
Deepening our lives of faith in the beauty and holiness of worship, as a community nourished by the Eucharist
-
Nurturing discipleship and growing maturity of faith
-
Increasing our presence in the parish through sustainable partnerships, to respond to the needs of our community and proclaim the gospel
-
Building robust and sustainable finances for our mission and ministry

Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Reserves policy
In 2025, the trustees adopted a new reserves policy. In order to meet the agreed funding policy, the amount required in reserves should be approximately £50,000. This figure is the sum of one years running costs (excluding parish share).
The PCC within the investment fund hold cash of £224,068.10 which it has designated to cover the risk of substantial costs for roof repairs, which are expected given the age and construction of the church roof.
Financial risk assessment
The major financial risks to the Charity are considered to be the following:
-
Reduction in planned giving as a result of withdrawal of support from existing regular givers.
-
Reduction in income from bookings of the church community facilities
-
Reduction in income as a result of non-payment of rent by tenants of church properties, or a property being vacant.
-
Unexpected expenditure, most likely related to the need for emergency repairs and restoration to St Mary Magdalene Church, The Parish Centre, or one of the three residential properties owned by the church. Mitigated by the implementation of the agreed reserves policy.
-
Increase in spending on repairs to St. Mary Magdalene Church.
-
The Endowment fund is managed by the Diocesan fund managers CCLA. The performance in 2025 has been below market trends and expectations.
All the risks are mitigated by careful financial stewardship and the following of the reserves policy.

Structure, governance and management
Constitution
St Mary Magdalene is a church which is the responsibility of a parochial church council duly constituted under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended, and the Church Representation Rules. The Church is registered with code 632129 in the diocese of St Albans in the parish of St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde.
The Parochial Church Council of St. Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde is a registered charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011 and was registered in March 2025 with the charity number – 1212520.
The trustees of the parish are the PCC, which has the responsibility of co-operating with the Priest in Charge, in promoting the whole work of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish. The PCC is governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969, as amended).
Overall responsibility for day-to-day management resides with the Priest in Charge, working in close collaboration with the Standing Committee. The charity does not have paid employees with management responsibility
Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed. The trustees keep the composition of the PCC under review and will seek to co-opt additional members with appropriate skills and expertise should the need arise. Interested parties are given details of the background of the charity in order to make them aware of current activities. Licensed clergy in the parish are ex officio trustees. Churchwardens are elected at the Annual Parishioners Church meeting. All other trustees are elected at the Annual Parochial Church meeting in accordance with the Parish Instrument.
Page 6
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the
Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report
For the year ended 31 December 2025
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters 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 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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 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.

St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Page 11
St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1.3 Expenditure (continued)
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
Freehold Property - 40 years Fixtures & Fittings - 10 – 20 years Computer Equipment - 4 years
1.5 Investments
Investments held are stated at their quoted market value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses on disposals of such investments are treated as realised gains or losses. Gains or losses due to changes in the market value of the investments are treated as unrealized. All gains or losses, whether realised or unrealized, are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.6 Investment property
Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable real estate. The valuer uses observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Any changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Page 12
St Mary Magdalene, Hatfield Hyde Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
