## ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

The Members of the Parochial Church Council (the 'PCC’), who are the charity's trustees for the purposes of charity law, have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements for the year. 

## Objects ofthe charity 

The charity is responsible in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church be it pastoral, evangelistic, social or ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for maintaining church property situated within the parish. 

The objective of the church is to follow Jesus Christ. To know what that means for us we pray and listen to Holy Scripture. The usual context for both these is corporate worship. Strategies for achieving this objective are: * We encourage and expect our clergy to focus on prayer and the study of Holy Scriptureso as to teach the congregation 

© We encourage and expect church members to attend midweek discipleship groups 

* We encourage and expect church members to be active in the exercise of their own gifts. 

© We minister to our local community and school. 

## Summaryof the charity's main activitiesand achievements To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows: 

The significant activity is regular acts of worship. Prior to the COVID restrictions there were four of these every week of the year making a total of 208 acts of worship. In addition there are usually special services at Easter and Christmas. Some of the latter are combined services with other Christian churches in the parish. Thereis, weekly, a full provision of activities for children up to the age of 14. Evangelistically a range of social events are planned. 

Active discipleship is encourage through homegroups that meet throughout the week. We seek to persuade every Sunday worshipper to join such a group. Currently there are eight groups attracting about half the Sunday congregations. Bible study and prayer are the focal activities and we trust to see close friendships formed to enable help in time of need to be demonstrated. 

We seek to further deepen our understanding of the christian faith and practical outworking of that faithin our lives through encouraging more special times of prayer. Almost every week a variety of prayer experiences are offered: Celtic prayer, Soaking in the spirit, Healing prayer. In addition to those we set aside one Sunday evening a month to focus on intercessory prayer together. We also vary the way intercessions are done in the main morning service to include more ofthe congregation in the act of prayer.

## ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

We trust the growth in personal discipleship must overflow into acts of servicein our local community. There is support for a local foodbank; volunteers help run a school for excluded children; other volunteers help runa group for dementia sufferers and their carers which has expanded this year to include a lunch provided in our church hall; other church members volunteer as trustees and governors for various charities and schools. We host and run an Arts and Craft group for people with mental health issues and actively support a nearby orphanage. Wealso provide a debt conselling service. 

Our acts of service also extends to the support of our overseas mission work, though werecognise that more needs to be done to encourage the congregations interest in this aspect of discipleship. 

## COVID - 19 Activities 

All activities have continued as outlined above when allowed in the past year. For significant periods of time, however, the way we have done them has changed. Worship has been via Facebook, Zoom and online. We have invested in cameras to enable the services to be live-streamed. Only one Sunday was missed throughout the year. 

Evangelistically we moved Christmas Carols to outdoors. Hundreds of phonecalls have been madeto keep in touch with people and many church-members have engaged in acts of kindness and support to neighbours and other church members who have been isolating. Prayer meetings, coffee mornings, mid-week fellowship have all be held on-line. 

Most the charity's activities are undertaken by volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their efforts. 

In planning the activities the PCC have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

The charity is registered with the Charity Commission and operates under the Charities Act 2011. The governing documents for the charity are the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended) and the Church Representation Rules. 

The appointment of PCC members is governed by, and set out in, the Church Representation Rules. The PCC comprises ex-officio members (which includes clergy and churchwardens), elected members and co-opted members. The PCC organise elections annually before the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) to fill vacancies. 

Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the PCC who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a management team led by theincumbent.

## Financial review 

During 2020 the charity's income fell by £124K to £272K due to a reduction in congregational giving and related gift aid alongsidea Hall Hire incomereduction dueto COVID closures. Expenditure increased by £8k, to £312K. Asaresult the deficit for the year was £40k (2019:surplus £91K) and the charity's net assets reduced by £40K to £2,519K. 

## Grant making policies 

The PCC is committed to the Biblical Tithe of 10% of gross income. This amount is set aside each year and used primarily to fund regular and ad hoc grants to Christian mission work at home and overseas. 

## Reserves policy 

The PCC have determined that the charity should aim to hold cash in unrestricted general funds of no less than £80k (which equates to about 3 months’ of unrestricted running cost expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted general cash of £79k with additional access to discretionary funds cash balances which are not legally restricted. Therefore the Trustees are confident they are complying with the reserves policy. The charity held cash of £1,866K in designated funds. Of this £1,568k is held in a Site Development fund, which was created from the proceeds of the sale of a property in 2018. The Building Committee will be discussing initial plans for a building project with architects during 2022; this project is likelyto span several years. 

## Plansfor the Future 

The focus of the church remains outreach and the discipleship of church members. Alpha outreach courses continue to be planned and a church weekend away is being proposed for 2022 to further Christian growth, with other teaching weekends anticipated between now and then. Friendship groups are expanding and new people have joined the church. The teaching of children continues through Sunday School. The PCC are planning for the future recruitment of additional staff to support this ministry. 

We intend to maintain and develop our technological facilities to reach our to those who are homebound. This is part of a more intended outreach into the local community. We continue to explore possibilities of engagement within the Parish including the prayerful support of our congregational members’ involvement in local Christian outreach initiatives. 

With such alot of activity on site it is still planned to develop the church and church centreinto spaces more suited for the life of the church today. Consultation across the church has been held and a Building committee set up to explore options. This will be ongoing work throughout the year ahead and beyond.

## Key risks and uncertainties 

The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The PCC review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. 

## Other matters 

With regard to the PCC’s obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. 

The last quingennial inspection was held in August 2019 for which all significant works required to be actioned by the Trustees have now been completed. 

## Covid-19 

In March 2020 the charity took steps (in line with government advice) to help contain the nationwide outbreak of COVID-19. This included the temporary suspension ofall physical gatherings and the charity has had to curtail, or change, how it operates; the charity has been able to continue some of its activities using online media. The charity's income from letting property has fallen but this this has been mitigated by savings in property running costs and in other areas. The members of the PCC are monitoring income and expenditure and, if it becomes necessary, will take measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the cash held in unrestricted general funds. 

## Statement of Responsibilities ofthe Members of the Parochial Church Council 

The PCC is responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

## ST JOHN'S CHURCH, BUCKHURSTHOLL NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

## 1 —- Statutory information 

The Parochial Church Council of The Ecclesiastical Parish ofSt Johm Buckhurst Hill is a charity registered with the Charity Commissdon in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity information page. 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
2 Accounting Policies<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, The financial tatements includeall activities for which the PCC is legally responsible; the activities of informal gatherings of church members and groups that owe their main silistion to another body and are excluded. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the ‘Statementof Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accountsin accordancewith the Financial Reporting Standard applicablein the UK and Republic of Ireland [FRS 102)’ (the CharitiesSORP"|, with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ["FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity moets the definition ofa public benefit entityas set out in FRS 102. The Charities [Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the 2008 Regulations’) requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with ‘Accounting and Reportingby Charities Statement of Recommended Practice effective fom 1 April 2005" but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the CharitiesSORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statementsin accordance with the mew Charities SORP; this departuf **r** ome the 2008 Regulationsis believed to be necessaryfor these financial statements to givea true and fair view". 

The principles adopted im the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

a) Goingconcem The PCC hawe assessed whether the use of the going concer basis is appropriateand have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the abélityof thecharity to continue as4 going concern, The POC have made this assessment for 6 period ofat beast one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. tn particular the POC have considered the charity's forecasts and projections aod the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly, The PCC have concluded that there is 6 reasonable expectation thet the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseable future. The charity therefore continuesto adopt the going concern basisin preparing its financial statements. 

In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact ofCovid-19 and have concluded that its impact on net income will not be material. b) Income Income (which includes planned giving, collectionsand other donations} is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part income is generally recognised when it is received By, or on behalf of, the POC, Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitied to it or wherethe donor has specified that the incomeisto be expended in a future period. Income from donationsand legacies includes recoverablegift ad, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet dateis included asadeStor, The charity relies on volunteers to carry owt many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the walue of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtheranceof the charity's charitable objects. Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. 

Investment income represents income generated by the charity'sassets and includes income from bank interest.
