Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives

Firstly to support persons in the parish in need, hardship or distress and to support the Christ Church Exhibition Fund (325124). The charity aims to provide help to transient persons living in the parish through provision of food, clothing etc. via the Community of the Sisters of the Church.
Secondly to support the parish of Christ Church in the City of Bristol by paying towards the stipend of the Curate and Incumbent of the benefice, by paying clergy or licensed lay workers to conduct services in the parish, for other religious or charitable work of the Church of England in the parish or the Archdeaconry of Bristol. The charity aims to support the clergy associated with the parish in the provision of regular worship at Christ Church.
Thirdly, for the repair, maintenance and insurance of the fabric of Christ Church. The charity aims to ensure that funds are available to the Parochial Church Council.
The Trustees' main objective for 2025 was to look after the property and investments in the light of the purposes for which the Trust was established. The Trustees are confident that the insurance cover on the properties is sufficient. The Trustees have continued to consider the market value of the properties and performed a full revaluation in the year ended 31 December 2024.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees 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)'.
Achievements and performance

The Trustees’ main aim this year was to continue to make decisions placed before them based on their familiarity with the properties and investments. A property sub-committee meets regularly to assist with this.
b. Investment policy and performance
The investments held at the end of the year are as set out in the attached accounts.
The funds aim at steady income and capital appreciation to provide long-term protection from inflation. These objects are reviewed annually with the stockbrokers.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christ Church Lands Charity ('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 Christ Church Lands 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.

2. Accounting policies
2.1 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) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view.
Christ Church Lands Charity 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.
2.2 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. The Trustees are confident that they can manage expenditure to align with the income generated from investment returns. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 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.
2.4 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.
Direct charitable expenditure included in the Statement of Financial Activities represents the amounts paid from the restricted funds during the year. Grants paid are made in accordance with the Charity Commission Scheme.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Costs of generating funds are Investment management costs and those costs incurred in respect of maintaining, insuring and letting the properties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Taxation
The Charity is a registered charity and as such is not liable to taxation on the net income from its charitable activities.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
2.7 Investments
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.8 Investment properties
Investment properties are included in the Balance Sheet at their open market value in accordance with FRS 102 and are not depreciated.
2.9 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.
2.10 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.
2.11 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.

2.13 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.
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.
