## **The Parish Church of St John and St Stephen, Reading Annual Report for 2020** 

## **Background** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St John and St Stephen is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operating under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission. It is responsible for co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish of St John and St Stephen, Reading, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. More specifically its mission is: 

“To know Christ and to make Him known.” 

and its vision: 

“We meet as a Church to equip and build one another up to live lives of worship in the world and we exist to serve the Parish of St John & St Stephen, in cooperation with other churches and Christians and with local people of faith and no faith at all.” 

## **Membership (Trustees)** 

Members of the PCC are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules, _ex officio_ or co-opted by the PCC. 

During the 2020/21 year, the following served as members of the PCC:

## **Church attendance** 

There were 94 people on the Church Electoral Roll as presented to the APCM 2020, an increase of 1 on 2019. Attendance at the church itself has been drastically affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and has only been possible for a limited period of time. Most Sunday worship services have been conducted by video conferencing (in live time). As such, average attendance figures are not readily available. The few church services held have been restricted by the number of worshippers who could be safely accommodated, whereas the video conferencing services have included several people from further afield, including some outside the UK. Some other church activities have also been able to continue using video conferencing, but there have been no other gatherings of people in person since late March, including the erstwhile Café activities and children’s groups. No communion 

(1) 



services were held on Easter Day or over Christmas. There were no baptisms, no marriages and one funeral, conducted in the church building and at the local Crematorium. 

## **Committees** 

Since March 2020, all PCC meetings and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (held on 19 October) have been conducted using video conferencing. Certain aspects of the PCC’s operations are delegated to sub-committees, which meet on an ad-hoc basis and report back to the PCC: 

## _Standing Committee:_ 

This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC, but is only required to meet if necessary. 

## _Church Giving Advisory Group:_ 

Attends to matters relating to, and administers monies raised for, mission. 

Virtually all other business was transacted by email. 

## **Review of the 2020/21 year** 

The PCC met three times during the year, as noted above. There was an average level of attendance of 88%. Time was given to reflection and prayer within each PCC meeting. 

The main issues dealt with by the PCC during this period were: 

1. Mission and ministry, including a review of online worship, Children’s Ministry and the NEWT magazine, also the introduction of Personal Discipleship Plans and Prayer Walks. 

2. Risk assessment for reopening the church building for worship. 

3. Regular reviews of safeguarding. 

4. Regular reviews of finance, including the Mission Budget, Church House rents and financial controls. 

5. Review and acceptance of the Diocesan Energy Audit (November 2020). 

6. Fabric issues including maintenance of the forecourt garden and work arising from the Energy Audit. 

7. Regular reports of Deanery Synod meetings. 

There were no off-site activities for youth or any other groups during the period under review. 

## **Risk Management** 

The PCC exercises regular oversight of all activities undertaken in its name, including identification of any risks to which the Church and its organisations are exposed and the establishment of suitable systems and procedures to mitigate such risks. 

## **Finances** 

The **overall position** for 2020 shows an excess of income over expenditure of £14.7k. Key points to report are: 

- Total income was 1% lower than in 2019; 

- Expenses and outgoings were 17% lower; 

- Grants of £23.1k were made; 

- Sufficient funds were available to meet all outgoings; 

- The total value of funds increased due to a rise in the value of investments held and the revenue account surplus. 

The PCC expresses its gratitude to God for the continued generosity of many church members, including several who have since moved away, in providing resources for the running of the church and funding for grants to our mission and other partners. This has been particularly true during the Coronavirus pandemic, the majority of donations continuing to be made by bank transfer. 

**Total income** amounted to £113.8k, a decrease of £1.7k (1%) on 2019 (see Note 2 on page 8). Within this sum, donation income of £61.0k was £3.6k (6%) less than last year. Tax-efficient donations, including those received through charitable agencies such as CAF and Stewardship, accounted for 94% of all donation income (1% decrease), while £13.7k was reclaimed from HMRC (7% decrease). This was assisted by the ability to claim for 

(2) 



cash donations up to £30 under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme, but in the absence of most activities in church there have been very few such donations since March. Investment income and interest of £14.7k was £0.3k (2%) higher than 2019. Lettings (Church House and Parish Centre) and sales income of £18.5k was £0.5k (3%) less, while fees and other income (Church lunches, etc) of £5.8k were up by £2.9k (104%). There were no major one-off gifts or legacies in the year. The earned interest rate on the Virgin Money Charity deposit dropped from 0.75% to 0.15%, with no interest paid on the CAF current bank account. 

**Total expenditure** of £99.0k represented a decrease of £20.1k (17%) over 2019 (see Note 3 on page 9), primarily on account of significantly reduced usage of the church building due to Coronavirus restraints. The only project during the year was installation of a secondary computer monitor screen in the church at a cost of £0.6k. Now that the church no longer has a Curate, there were no housing or travel costs as previously. All expenditure on children’s and youth work (£0.3k in 2020) continued to be funded by income received on money invested from Arthur Clark’s generous legacy. The majority of other expenditure comprised running costs. In accordance with the PCC’s current policy, Mission giving is budgeted on 22% of the previous year’s eligible General Fund income. £19.1k was distributed by this means to 15 mission partners at home and abroad, with a further £4.0k principally comprising a grant to Reading Deanery Synod. Full details are set out at Note 13 (page 15). 

The **General Fund** , including most donation income and church running costs, opened and closed with a zero balance (see Note 12 on page 14). Income amounted to £90.3k, an increase of £0.8k (1%) over 2019. Higher dividend and other income was offset by lower donation income and tax reclaims. Total running costs of £74.3k were £10.4k (12%) lower than 2019, for the reasons noted above. The cost of publishing the _Newt_ our free glossy magazine was £2.3k, half that of 2019 as only 2 instead of 4 printed editions were produced. The Parish Share, as usual, comprised the largest single item of expenditure, amounting to £48.4k, an increase of £5.4k (13%) over 2019, and was fully paid in regular instalments. We benefited from rebates totalling £5.1k for (a) Reading Deanery churches’ share payments having been made in full and on time, and (b) payment of the Parish Share by direct debit. This was £2.5k higher than 2019, resulting from inclusion of the 2020 rebate being included in 2020 rather than the following year, as hitherto. These sums are treated as miscellaneous income. The cost of utilities at £2.2k was £1.1k (33%) lower than 2019. The PCC continues to purchase its gas and electricity from Ecotricity, with gas for heating the church offcharged by the School. The General Fund was balanced by a transfer of £5.7k from the Church House Letting Fund (61% decrease on 2019). 

The capital value of the church’s **investments** showed an increase of £33.1k (7%) in the year, reflecting growth in the market, notwithstanding the Coronavirus pandemic. Dividend payments remained relatively constant throughout the year. No new investments were made, nor were any fund holdings redeemed. All investments are held through CCLA, who manages its funds in accordance with the policies of the Church of England’s Ethical Advisory Group. Likewise the Charities Ethical Investment Fund is managed with reference to the UK Stewardship Code. The overall valuation at 31 December 2019 was £517.7k, of which £278.3k is unrestricted and £239.4k endowment. Full details of the investments are set out at Note 6 (page 11). 

The **closing balance** across all funds stood at £1,076.7k (including freehold land and buildings), an increase of £47.9k (5%) over 2019.

**Parochial Church Council of St John and St Stephen, Reading** 

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the applicable accounting standards of the Charities 2015 Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102), but a cashflow statement is not included as the PCC’s gross income is below £500k. The Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE) is no longer available. The detailed analysis of income and expenditure continues to reflect the particular requirements of the PCC. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use, and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose may also be unrestricted. 

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is accountable in law. They do not include accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **Income & Endowments** 

## _Voluntary income and capital sources_ 

Donations and collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving, is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donations are received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

## _Activities for generating funds_ 

Rental income from letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## _Income from investments_ 

Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. Such payments are received without deduction of income tax. 

## _Income from church activities_ 

Income and expenditure relating to various church activities are accounted for gross. 

## _Gains and losses on investments_ 

Realised gains or losses are recognised when the investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation at market value, as at 31[st] December (or nearest date available). 

## **Expenditure** 

## _Grants_ 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## _Church activities_ 

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

## _Church Centre and Church House_ 

The value shown in the balance sheet for the Church Centre and for nos. 1 and 2 Church House is the acquisition cost of the land and building of the property in 1976 plus the Refectory extension building cost in 2009. This does not include the value of the land which was exchanged with Reading Borough Council for that previously occupied by the former St. Stephen’s Church in accordance with an agreement with the PCC dated 30/11/1976. No valuation of the property is carried out, but the PCC is of the opinion that the open market value is not materially less than the balance sheet value. 

No value is placed on movable church furnishings. All expenditure incurred on buildings, furniture and fittings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities, unless separately disclosed. 

## _Current Assets_ 

Amounts owing to the PCC as at 31[st] December in respect of Gift Aid reclaims, fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts which may prove uncollectable. Short Term deposits include loans currently held. 

## **Investment Policy** 

The PCC’s policy is: (a) to invest endowment funds and other major legacies in dividend-bearing shareholdings, principally those of the CCLA Central Board of Finance of the C. of E. Investment Fund; (b) to hold money not immediately required in (i) a charity deposit savings account and (ii) other local projects; (c) to invest other surplus funds in dividendbearing shareholdings of the CCLA COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund; and (d) to hold other day-today funds in a charity bank account. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The PCC relies substantially on the regular inflow of donation, letting and Gift Aid tax recovery income to meet day-to-day commitments. It endeavours to hold sufficient cash reserves to meet at least two months’ gross running costs.
