St Clement’s Parish Property Annual Report for the year ended 30th June 2022

Legal and Administrative Information

St Clement’s Parish Property is registered with the Charity Commissioners (No. 220051) and constituted by Deed of Trust dated 17th March 1903.

The Charity is administered by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees who served during the year were as follows:-

Chair Revd Rachel Gibson (Rector of St Clement’s Church) Treasurer Mr S J Livingstone Other Trustees Ms H Carstairs Mrs K Rumford Mr R Knight

New Trustees are appointed by the remaining Trustees. Nominations for Trustees are put forward at Trustees’ meetings, when the individual has confirmed their willingness to serve, then formally proposed, seconded and voted upon at the meeting itself. Induction and training of new Trustees is informal, mainly covered by and attendance at meetings where policy decisions are taken and matters of concern discussed; and by reference to Charity Commission training and guidance documents.

The Charity's insurance broker for general insurance purposes as well as Trustees’ liability insurance is Ecclesiastical Insurance Office (EIG). The Charity’s banker is Barclays Bank plc, Leicester LE87 2BB. The independent examiner is Mr L J Baker FCA, Wenn Townsend, 30 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LE. The Charity has also taken advice from experienced individual Health and Safety and HR practitioners.

The day to day running of the Charity is managed by a General Manager but the Trustees consider that they are the Charity’s key management personnel and they give of their time freely.

Object, Organisation and Activities

The object of the Charity as stated in the 1903 Deed of Trust is to maintain any properties it owns for any objects, ends or purposes having in view the spiritual, intellectual, moral or social wants of the inhabitants of the parish of St Clement’s or the immediate neighbourhood which the Rector of the parish for the time being may approve. The mission statement of the Charity is to offer a visible practical Christian presence in the local community with a vision to see a flourishing, hospitable local community, attentive to the least, the lost and lonely. The Charity’s values, inspired by the example of Jesus Christ, are to be generous, hospitable, servant-hearted, visible and accessible, and in all things to work to build community for now and the future.

The Trust Deed states that any rents or profits accruing from the properties owned by the Charity shall be employed first in payment of the annual outgoings in respect of the properties, thereafter any surplus shall be applied as a fund for the repair and amendment of the buildings.

During the year under review the Charity has continued to work towards fulfilment of its object in a number of ways:

Object, Organisation and Activities (continued)

Public Benefit

As well as maintaining its properties as required by its deeds, the Trust uses its buildings and the rental income it raises for a wide range of community activities. These benefit all ages and incomes, from toddlers through to pensioners.

The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities each year. As part of this review, reference is made to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. The Trustees are satisfied that the activities of the charity fall comfortably within this public benefit test.

Finances and Reserves Policy

The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances.

The Trustees consider that the current state of the Charity’s finances is sound.

The Trustees have determined that it should be the general policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Charity, at a level which equates at least to approximately three months running costs. The Trustees have also determined to maintain designated funds: the Capital Improvement fund, which is a general property improvement fund, and a Renovation Reserve, which is a fixed amount held in the event of any major property overhauls being required. This policy would provide sufficient funds to cover the ongoing maintenance and repair of the property portfolio, together with the associated support costs and provides contingency reserves in the event of any unexpected major property maintenance requirements. During the year, the Trustees designated a further £160,000 towards the Renovation Reserve. At 30th June 2022, the balance of the Unrestricted General Reserves, stood at £66,077 (2021: £242,880) and the total Designated Funds totalled £4,320,000 (2021: £4,160,000).

Risk Management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Charity faces or may face, and confirm that insurances and systems are in place to mitigate any such risks.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual 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 the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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.

On Behalf of the Trustees

Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 30th June 2022

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 12.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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 Clement’s Parish Property Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30th June 2022

1. Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Activities

(d) Expenditure recognition

(f) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds 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.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

for the year ended 30th June 2022

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

(g) Value Added Tax

(h) Social Investment

(i) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold land and buildings - None Equipment - Straight line over three years

Freehold land and buildings are maintained in a sufficient standard of upkeep that the impact of depreciation is considered to be immaterial. As such no depreciation is charged.

(j) Investment property

(l) Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

(m) Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

(n) Going concern
