the value of the investments had declined by £8,878 making a total reduction of funds of £18,624. Our income was adversely affected by the church being closed for the Easter Festival and by reduced attendances at Christmas. Only small savings in costs were able to be achieved. In addition, the Church centre suffered from fewer bookings due to coronavirus. We took advantage of the government's furlough scheme and received !21,421. In spite of the deficit we managed to pay the parish share of £73,122 to the Diocese in full.

Bob informed the meeting that the budget for 2021 was a deficit of £16,000 which
-
would put a strain on the finances. Bob thanked everyone for their support throughout the year. It is most helpful to manage the finances when giving is made by regular standing orders. He thanked all those who increased their giving during
-
the year. My thanks go to Colin Brash who kindly volunteered to do the weekly banking. Bob Wilson ..

Andrew again expressed his mixed feelings that He and Lesley will be retiring on 11" April 2021. We have done much to rebuild what was needed in the Church — both the physical and the material and the spiritual. | leave you with the same wardens to make another good choice in looking for and recruiting a new Rector. He and Lesley will continue to keep praying for Headley and All Saints in the future. Rev Dr Andrew Barton, Rector 2014-2021(APRIL) ANNUAL REPORTS Electoral Roll: The revision of the Electoral Roll has been compieted and the numbers on the roll for 2021 are 123.

CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT 2021 One of the main priorities during this past year was to replace various committees which had gone into abeyance over the past years and are needed for the membership to have their say in how things operate. With this in mind, please consider your own abilities and talk to us about how you think you could help, we still need volunteers for various committees, the cleaning rota, and even just need your ideas as to what we can do, or do differently, so that things work in the best way for all. Remember things are not limited by a glass ceiling for either men or women and some activities which seem to be dominated by one group or another are open to all (eg Flowers and Cleaning). These past few montis have been a matter of seeing which Covid restrictions can be loosened and how to gradually implement a return to normality whilst bearing in mind that we might suddenly have to revert. The 2 metre tapes and orange stickers remain in place. In addition, there has been a considerable amount of ‘behind the scenes’ activity in regard to the Inductian process. We are looking forward to a new year with Yann so new ideas are welcorne. Edwin Catt & Christine Leonard (Church

Choir Again, 2021 saw a dsruption in the choir leading worship interrupted because of
-
Covid, and, with decrsasing numbers, is restricted to supporting hymn singing on Sundays. However an augmented choir was able to put on a good carol service, which albeit with fewer numbers than usual able attend due to Covid, it was well received. My thanks to those who have helped during the year: Jonathan GaineyBrown, Matthew Smith and Robert Patterson. | will be stepping down as organist 13
-
from 31 July due to my increasing mobility problems (smail nerve neuropathy); and am grateful to Stephen Lacy and Robert Patterson who have taken on the wedding and funerals this yeair. | first started playing at All Saints in 1987, with a few short breaks and back to full time when a rota ran out!. I’ve enjoyed my time, but playing
-
the right notes (at the right time) with feet and hands is rather important, so now is the time! Thank you all for your support over the years.

REPORT ON DEANERY SYNOD 2021 The next meeting will be held on 27" April 2022 in Crondall. The Deanery web site
-
Is currently under trial. This will provide information on churches together, with support material that other churches might find helpful. It is currently being managed by Kay Davies from ‘3t Mark’s in Bordon. Jane Walker has now stood down in her role as Rural Area Lean. A replacement will be announced in due course.

BUILDINGS COMMITTEE REPORT In July 2021 Richard Kemp stood down from Chairman of the B&G sub-committee
-
and Chris Millard was voted to take over from him. We sincerely thank Richard for everything he has done for the church during his tenure. The team of volunteers from the church have: continued to keep the church Dulldings and grounds looking | attractive and we are dependent on the continued efforts from gardeners and DiYers. Special thanks go to George Watts. it has now been arranged that EHDC will take on the maintenance of the churchyard
-
from April. The EHDC remit is limited to grass cutting and some trimming. This leaves a lot of major ground work for us still to do within the church resources. We nave given thought to reducing our carbon footprint and a number of activities are under consideration.

Parish Magazine Through the pandemic this has continued to appear in hard copy, much appreciated by those who don’t do modern technology and on the village website for those who do. There is a very stable: management team but they are always willing to accept additional volunteers.

- The printers “Imprint Colour’ in Aldershot are very efficient and produce a quality magazine. The cost has remained at 50p a month for very many years but with inflation this will be reviewed this spring. Church Flowers The flower Ladies are a group of 10 volunteers, mostly non church goers who make sure there are fresh flowers by the altar every week and church is decorated for festivals. They are self-funding and raise money either by donations for lilies at Easter, coffee mornings and wreath making classes at Christmas. The cost of the reguiar weekly flowers is often not claimed for by the volunteers. It is hoped that the congregation are appreciative of this fact.
Christine Leonard Safeguarding at All Saints Church During the last year there have been no activities for children or vulnerable adults. | nave not been made aware of any Safeguarding matters that need to be reported. The main change regarding Safeguarding within the Parish is the introduction of an on-line Parish Dashboard which is aimed to make Safeguarding simpler. In practice it is a series of traffic: lights — as information is added to the dashboard it either goes green, meaning all is: well, amber means that more information is still necessary and red means that something has not been done and is now urgent. The type of information necessary could be confirmation that practices have been adhered to, for example, completion of the All Saints Safeguarding Policy document to be displayed in various places around the Church and Church centre, and what date it was signed and completed. It also wants confirmation that all PCC members have done the basic training modules offered. This will remain amber until | am able to confirm this. Once we have re-started activities for children, further details will need to be added to the dashboard. | completed both the Leadership core training module and Safer Recruitment modules (online) in 2021 and also attended an in-person session for Safeguarding Officers. There is one final training session which | have yet to do regarding Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse. This is also available to all members of the PCC and | would suggest that as many of us as possible complete this. Training for all PCC members is available and required from the Diocese - Basic Training and Foundation modules. | would like to quote from a recent safeguarding newsletter from the Diocese “Ensuring that Safeguarding Learning is up to date helps embed a culture where people feel safe, and abuse can be spotted and dealt with in an appropriate and timely fashion “ DBS Checks 15
Margaret Locke
-
The DBS process of checks is also in the process of being changed, most significantly the check will only be valid for 3 years when it was previously 5 years. As we start to re-introduce children’s activities once again it will be essential that all leaders involved nave an up-to-date disclosure. | will contact people directly when the dates are due
-
although | am currently asking for guidance from the Diocese in this regard. Safeguarding remains an issue that must remain a high importance in all that we do. It remains a shared responsibility for all PCC members and all members of the
-
congregation. If anything doesn’t seem quite right it must be investigated.
ASH Puppets
-
We have been running an after-school Puppet club at The Holme since the autumn nalf-term, with six children attending. At the end of term, the puppeteers performed
-
_ a nativity song at an all-school assembly. This term, with five children, we have focused on the Lord’s Prayer and are currently recording the puppets performing a ‘Caribbean’ version of the prayer.
-
Additionally, we support Headley Down Community Church (St Francis) at their monthly KraftiKids sessions and perform at the Big Breakfast/Big Brunch service on
-
the first Sunday of each month. Frances Morgan

Social Committee, Church Office and Church Centre lettings. The year 2021 was a very quiet one for the Social committee but we did manage fo arrange some events toward the end of 2021. We held a very successful ‘Carols on the Green’ which was: attended by around 250 people. Although we had mince pies and warm drinks peojle seemed to prefer to do the singing and disperse as infection rates were exceptionally high still. We moved the refreshments to the outside of the Church Centre in the car park for the ‘Nine Lessons and Carols’. which was the same weekend and we were very pleased to see that people did come and join us. not as Many as we usually have but we were happy.
Church Centre;
-
The Church Centre had a second year of restricted opening. At least this year we could offer the use to some of the regulars, which did give a small income. Our full list of regulars did return in September/October and the Centre was also used by the Church very successtully for the Parish Christmas Lunch. aithough we took the numbers downa little, nearly 50 people enjoyed a lovely social event.

Weddings Baptisms and Funerals. With restrictions slowly changing and lifting the services in church for weddings baptisms & funerals started to resume as they had in previous years. We carried out 16

34 funeral services with All Saints being involved in some way. It was made up of

funeral services in church with burials, ashes interments, and clergy attendance at crematorium services. Baptisms saw a good increase in 2021 against the lockdown year of 2020 as we

APCM 20/3/2022 ASH HEADLEY ALL SAINTS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL 2021 FINANCIAL REVIEW |
-
2021 was the second year in which we suffered from the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic with attendances lower than expectec!. In particular we experienced reduced numbers for the major festivals of Easter and Christmas which resulted in lower plate collections. However, we have increased the number of our supporters who give regularly and many have raised their monthly giving. Thank you to all of you. As a result, the total given by regular donors increased by £1,716 to £49,097. The parochial fees received from weddings and funerals increased by £3,567 to £11,756 due to 6 more weddings taking place than in 2020. On the expenses side, our biggest single cost is the amount payabie to the diocese for the parish share which increased by £3,817 to £7'5,939 as an allowance was given in 2020 to offset reductions suffered in letting income etc due to the pandemic. | am pleased to say that this was paid in full. Subsequent to the production of these accounts, the diocese has given us a rebate of £1,000 relating to 2021 which will be reflected in the 2022 accounts. There was some saving in secretarial costs as we were without a parish administrator for a few months but all other costs were broadly in line with budget. The total income of the church ainounted to £113,875 with costs of £121,248 resulting in a deficit of £7,373 compared with a deficit of £9,746 in 2020. Thankfully the deficit was less than budgeted at the beginning of the year. The stock market improved substantially in 2021 and the market value of our investments increased by £417,919 which more than covered the reduction suffered in 2020. Investments are held for the long term and produced valuable income cf £5,319 in the year. Likewise, the house in Windmill Drive produced a return of £11,613 although it has not been revalued on this occasion. The overall result for the year wzis a surplus of £10,546 compared with a deficit for 2020 of £18,624. | should like to thank all of you for your support throughout the year and to those of you who raised your
-
giving. It is particularly helpful trat an increasing number pay by regular standing order which has assisted in managing the church’s finances. The costs of running the church and church centre continue to increase and so we are particularly dependent on the regular income from our parishioners to maintain our facilities. The Budget for 2022, approved loy the finance committee and PCC, is a deficit of £29,000. The Diocese has indicated an increase in the parish share of £8,669 (11%) from £76,939. In addition, the Rectory has had to be completely redecorated at a cost of £7,650. We are also faced with substantial increases in energy costs for both the church and church centre. A further unexpected cost is the recent replacement of the church centre boiler at £2,800. _ Bob Wilson 13th March 2022

HEADI.EY ALL SAINTS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL : Notes to the financial statements : :
-
|
-
| For the year ended 31 December 2021
-
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accou nting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ "true and fair view" provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under , FRS 102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice,
-
Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SGIRP(FRS 102)). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets and freehold property, which are shown at market value. The financial Statements 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 affiliat on to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Funds Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which
-
, the endowment was established. 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 or prants received fora
-
specific 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. Income and Endowments Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the Incoming resource to which they relate is -eceived. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other | income is recognized when it is receivable All income and endowments are accounted for gross. Expenditure
-
| Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. | Fixed assets Consecrated and benefice property is not ncluded in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the rector and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienab e property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acq sired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure 1as been written off when incurred.
-
The church house was revalued at Decemtier 2019. No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the property is not less tt an its carrying value and the remaing usuful life of this asset currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,000 or fess are written off when the asset is acquired. Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. 23

The freehold property is located at 7 Windmill Drive, Headley Down. The Church Centre is insured for £2,900,003 but since it is on land vested in the Diocesan authority on behalf of the PCC, it can be given no meaningful value (PCC minutes of 27/11/95).
