## **Information concerning St Chad’s Charitable aims and objectives for submission to the Charities Commission**
## **Aims and Purposes**
St Chad’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) is the governing body of the Church and is responsible, along with the incumbent, for promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, liturgical, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objectives and activities of the PCC are in accordance with the guidelines on public benefit. These objectives and activities can be summarised as:
- Public worship to which every resident of the parish is welcome and invited to join;
- Pastoral work through the ministry of the occasional offices;
- A thriving ministry amongst the elderly and housebound including, but not limited to, a network of home visitors, various friendship groups and organised trips and excursions;
- Youth work that involves both church and non-church young people;
- The use of the church buildings for community activities;
- Teaching about the Christian faith and the ethics of being a disciple of Jesus Christ;
- Distributing a proportion of our voluntary giving to other charitable organisations within and without the diocese of Sheffield;
- The encouragement of an active volunteer force from within the congregation to become involved in other Sheffield-based charities, eg. Sheffield BESOM and School Pastors.
## **Report on activities in 2022**
Public worship has occurred weekly with two services being held on most Sundays. Christmas 2022 was a special time when over 450 children were welcomed into the building to hear the Christmas Story.
Youth work continued to grow. This included church youth work as well as School Pastors, where the team proved invaluable to the school in supporting both students and staff. Other charitable activities such as BESOM, Grace Foodbank and Street Pastors continued throughout 2022.
Third Age ministry continued apace, with growing numbers attending Natter, the over 50s coffee morning, which is also registered as a Welcome Place.
A Memory Café, for those with memory loss and their carers, is being set up and is expected to meet monthly in 2023.
The PCC agreed to lease our Church Field to Woodseats Community Garden (a project led by a PCC member who is a landscape architect). When the garden is completed, it will provide a well-being space managed by members of the local community. A formal lease is yet to be agreed.
## **Structure Governance and Management**
The method of appointing the PCC is set out in the Church representation rules. The PCC in 2022 consisted of the incumbent, both churchwardens, one deanery synod representative and eleven elected members of the congregation. The PCC has specific responsibility for the regulation of public worship in the church as well as the finances and fabric of the church buildings. In 2022 the PCC met seven times with subcommittees meeting in between each meeting. Minutes of all committees are kept and available for inspection on request. Each PCC member serves a term of three years. St Chad’s has two churchwardens who are elected annually.
Reverend Toby Hole stepped down from his role as incumbent and Chair of the PCC in September 2022. A process is underway to find his successor. The person appointed will be an Oversight Minister in the Diocese of Sheffield and Priest-inCharge of St Chad’s.
An administrator, working across the four churches in the Sheffield 8 Mission Area, was funded jointly by the churches until stepping down in September 2022. From October 2022, a part-time administrator has been employed directly by St Chad’s. A part-time youth worker is employed, and also an assistant treasurer. Income is received primarily through the giving of the congregation, lettings of the Church building and Church House (a converted Edwardian house in the parish), and from wedding and funeral fees. The outplay of pressures of the pandemic and the cost-ofliving crisis have combined to result in a deficit this year.
## **Administrative Information**

## **Notes to the financial statements**
**For the year ended 31st December 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP 2005.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## **Funds**
Designated Funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the PCC for a particular purpose. Funds so designated by the PCC can be redesignated by the PCC and so designation does not prevent funds being spent on any other purpose.
Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest and (b) donations, grants or fees received for a specified object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund.
Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.
## **Incoming resources**
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and when the amounts can reasonable be quantified. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
## **Resources expended**
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan share is accounted for when paid. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
## **Fixed assets**
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory. For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
Freehold land and buildings were previously revalued. In line with the transitional arrangements allowed under FRS102, the PCC has decided to hold these assets at cost, with the cost based on the revalued amount at the date of transition.
Equipment used within the church premises is capitalised at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off as an expense.

## _**St Chad's PCC (Woodseats)**_
## _**Church of England Defined Contributions Scheme**_
For eligible salaried employees who commenced employment after 1st November 2011, St Chads PCC (Woodseats) (PB Classic) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers.
The CWPF has two sections: 1 the Defined Benefits Scheme and 2 the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections: a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
## **Pension Builder Scheme**
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102 as it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers. This means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2022: £1,222, 2021: £761).
A valuation of the scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022 with the results expected later in 2023.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 3%, following improvements in the funding position over 2021. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, St Chad's could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.
St Chad's has 1 active member and 0 deferred members in the CWPF at 31st December 2022.
