## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CREWKERNE** 

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

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

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 of the charity** 

The charity is responsible for co-operating with the Incumbent, 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 certain church property, namely St Bartholomew's Parish Church and Church Hall, Crewkerne and the Church of the Good Shepherd, Hewish,Somerset. 

## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements** 

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

A service of Holy Communion was held on each Sunday and Wednesday morning. The live streaming equipment made it possible to view Sunday Services on YouTube. The Church has been open for prayer and/or visiting on each day of the year. The Trustees have paid due regard to the guidance given by the Charity Commission on public benefit when deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

An 'All Age' Service on the 3rd Sunday of each month was started during the year with a Sunday Club being held for children up to the age of 11 on most other Sundays. 

Schools in the area have been able to use the Church for special events and services. Easter, Remembrance  Day and Christmas services were well supported. In the Church Hall, 'Little Sunbeams', a mother and baby group meet once a week during the school term, 'Coffee Pot', a coffee morning and Mothers Union meet once a month. A picnic lunch was held to celebrate both Pentecost and the Queen's 70th Jubilee. A civic memorial service was held on 18th September following the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. 

House groups for Bible study and a monthly Prayer Meeting have been introduced. 

The Church maintains a regularly updated website and the 'Voice', a monthly parish magazine. 

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.

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

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the PCC who meet regularly to agree the activities of the charity and monitor the financial performance. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a Standing Committee led by the incumbent. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year income decreased by £2,606, to £67,472, and expenditure increased by £1,604, to £87,828. As a result the deficit for the year before investment gains/losses increased by £4,209, to £20,356. Investment losses were £56,995 and the charity's net assets decreased to £457,484 and net current assets decreased to £30,362. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The PCC have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £15,000 (which equates to about 2 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £23,523 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no going concern uncertainties 

## **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 Diocese have assessed the PCC’s Parish Share to be £46,012 for the year to 31 December 2022; having reviewed the PCC’s finances, the members of the PCC have paid this assessment in full. 

The last quinquennial inspection was held in 2020; Having revisited its findings, the members of the PCC have determined that some immediate external work is now required; this is expected to cost up to £5,000. During 2022 water ingress has caused deterioration of the wooden floor of the Woolminstone Chapel. This problem and the replacement of a leaking radiator requires repair in the next 6 months, with an anticipated cost of £12,000.

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

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 Statement of Responsibilities of the 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). 

Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the PCC are required to: 

1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material 

departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

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.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CREWKERNE** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1 Statutory Information** 

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Crewkerne is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales.  The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The financial statements include all activities for which the PCC is legally responsible; the activities of informal gatherings of church members and groups that owe their main affiliation to another body and are excluded. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the 'Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)' ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as 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 Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'. 

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

## a) Going concern 

The PCC have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The PCC have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the PCC have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The PCC have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## b) Income 

Income (which includes planned giving, collections and 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 PCC. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

Income from donations and legacies includes: 

- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

- ii) The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

- iii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.  It includes income from social events held by the church. 

Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. It includes income from weddings, funerals and the parish magazine. 

Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income arising for the investments and bank interest. 

- c) Expenditure 

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Page 8 



## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CREWKERNE** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

Contributions in respect of the diocesan parish share are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for all amounts agreed to being payable for the financial year.  Any contributions that have not been paid over by the year end are included as a creditor. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs incurred on commercial trading activities, fundraising and managing investments. 

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity. 

## d) Fund accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments. 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in these financial statements by virtue of s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings is written off in the year in which it is incurred. 

Movable church furnishings held by the incumbent and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are capitalised in accordance with the policy set out below. These items are regarded as inalienable property and are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. Inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 has not been capitalised as there is insufficient cost information available. 

The church halls and certain clergy accommodation are held in trust by the Diocese on behalf of the PCC. These properties are essential for the mission of the church and have been in use for many years but they have not been included in these financial statements as there is insufficient cost information and their depreciated cost is unlikely to be material. 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.  To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

|Freehold land|Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use)|
|---|---|
|Freehold buildings|Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value|
|Leasehold improvements|Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life|
|Equipment|Over 3 years|



The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

- f) Investments Fixed asset investments are held to generate income and / or for their investment potential. Current asset investments are investments that are held specifically for sale or are investments that the charity expects to sell by the next balance sheet date. Investments, other than social investments (see below), are valued as follows: 

   - i) Investment property and listed investments are valued at their market value (fair value) at the balance sheet date. 

## g) Taxation 

- The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## h) Financial instruments 

   - The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years). 

- i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement 

   - The members of the PCC do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

|---|---|
||3,640|



The amounts payable in the previous year were £nil. 

Gordon Harrison served as church administrator from September and received the above payments for serving in that capacity, not for serving as a member of the PCC; these payments are permitted by the charity's governing document. 

Rev CJ Davis (who is a clergy member of the PCC) received a stipend from the Diocese and so he is not an employee; some of the Parish Share paid to the Diocese is used to help meet the cost of these stipends. Rev CJ Davis was provided with accommodation (which is customary for clergy) and the cost of this accommodation to the PCC is disclosed in note 8 'Charitable Expenditure'. The charity also reimbursed expenses to Rev CJ Davis; again these costs are disclosed in note 8 'Charitable Expenditure' under the heading 'Clergy expenses'. 

Payroll costs included redundancy and termination payments totalling £nil (2021: £3,387) and comprise statutory payments and exgratia payments where this was considered appropriate. Redundancy and termination payments are charged when the liability or obligation arises.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**

- b) paid expenses totalling £1,319 (2021: £2,087) to non-clergy members of the PCC for reimbursement of expenses whilst carrying out duties associated with being PCC members; reimbursements for expenses incurred when acting as agent for the charity or incurred when undertaking employment duties not connected with serving as a PCC member are not included in this disclosure. 

## **16 Reconciliation with previously reported funds** 

During the year the charity changed its accounting policy for investments and the previous year's results have been restated. Investments are now correctly valued at market value per the SORP rather than at cost. During the year the charity identified a material error in the results reported previously. This error relates to the figures for the daughter church at Hewish not being included with the figures. The comparatives presented in these accounts have been re-stated so that they reflect the application of the new accounting policy and the correction of the error and a reconciliation with the reserves and results reported previously follows:
