Independent examiners:
Camabelu Limited Fetcham Park House, Fetcham Park Lower Road Fetcham Surrey KT22 9HD
Aim and purposes:
Wonersh with Blackheath PCC has the responsibility for co‐operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church; evangelistic, pastoral, social and ecumenical. It also has specific responsibility for maintenance and booking of Lawnsmead Church Hall in Wonersh. Benefits to the public arising from carrying out the PCC's objectives are explained within the annual report. The PCC has complied with its duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, published by the Charity Commission, in exercising its powers or duties.
Objectives and activities:
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community at Wonersh with Blackheath. The PCC maintains an overview of workship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. It strives to optimise attendance numbers by fine turning the types, timings and frequency of services to make the most of our facilities. Our services and workship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
Income from Lawnsmead Hall rentals normally represents approximately 4% of Wonersh's total incoming resources, but in 2021 it was below 2% (2020 1%) due to Covid‐19 forcing closure of communal facilities. Lawnsmead is well used as both a church and community resource, and is available to all. Further information on activities undertaken is given below in the 'review of the year' section.
Annually, 10% of all Wonersh General Fund income, including legacies (up to YE 2020), will be allocated to the Mission Committee for outward giving, and the detail of the beneficiaries for 2021 is given in the accounts. A change of policy in 2020 means that from 2021 legacies will not be included in the calculation.
Achievements and performance:
The PCC over the last year has continued to respond and direct the church in relation to the impact of Coronavirus and the ramifications for functions, services and events at the church and in its buildings. Risk Assessments have been brought up to date for all buildings and especially the Vicarage which has become another asset for use by the community in the parish. In addition, new investment policies, safeguarding and ex‐offenders policies have been approved. Both the Mission and Finance committee have updated terms of reference and documents transferred to a central Google Drive with permitted access at different levels. The PCC have approved and overseen the improved lighting at the church, refurbished and reordered Vestry and an ongoing development of the Churchyard itself. The Vicarage has been refurnished for alternative uses and is part occupied by the church hospitality manager. Other achievements are outlined in the Review of the Year below. A complaint was received in respect of the election of Churchwardens at the last APCM. All details and process was referred to the Diocese who confirmed that a suitable due process had been followed.
Financial review:
Following a second year of COVID, the church activities have continued to be restricted but we were able to carry out the programme of works that had been referred to in last year's accounts. Overall £70,000 was spent on improvements, and we benefitted from an unrealised investment gain of £40,000 from the Springfield Property. Overall net funds have decreased by £20,000 but this is not a cause for concern with total funds in excess of £1,000,000 at year end. Overall giving reduced slightly by less than 3%, but there is always the impact of one off donations and legacies from year to year. Our 10% outward giving amounts were similar to last year, but there were only a small level of special collections this year.
The church continues to benefit from very generous donations and gifts from members of the congregation , however it is not always appropriate to name them in the accounts. Due to a recent significant donation in 2022, it has been decided to rename the Stewart Henshaw Fund as the Youth Fund. Similarly the Special Needs Fund has been renamed the Hardship Fund.

TRUSTEES' REPORT, continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Reserves policy:
A historic policy of retaining a fixed amount in reserve was deemed to be unsuitable, and a regular review of reserves was instigated in 2018. The 2021 reserves statement is shown below:
Wonersh Church Reserves Policy:
It is the policy of this Church to hold reserves in four separately defined and distinct funds.
Non‐designated Funds
The Church will hold reserves equivalent to four months general running costs and an additional three month’s salary costs. This fund will be known as the General Prudence Fund and as at December 2021, this value is equivalent to approximately £75,000.
It is also our policy to hold an amount for likely forthcoming building works that involve replacements or maintenance. This fund will be known as the Fabric Maintenance Fund and as at December 2021 contains a sum equivalent to £3,000. After a year of substantial expenditure a general provision of £1,000 has been made for the Church and Lawnsmead, and £500 for the Vicarage and Springfield.
We will also hold an amount for special projects. This fund will be known as the Unrestricted Legacy and Project Fund and as at December 2021 contains a sum equivalent to £69,000. No specific allocations have been made at this stage, however, it is worth noting that this fund could be used to supplement the General Prudence Fund at any time should the PCC deem this necessary.
Restricted and Designated Funds
We also hold funds that are gifted to the Church for specific purposes or have been designated for specific purposes by the PCC. This fund will be known as the Restricted and Designated Fund and as at December 2021 contains a sum equivalent to £950,000. The sum is made up as follows; £406,000 in restricted legacies/funds and £544,000 designated fund invested in “Springfield”.
These projects reconcile to the funds shown in the Statement of Funds on page 8 of the accounts as follows:
| Outward Giving General TOTAL Restricted funds Marie Peters Legacy (unres & designated) Rosemary Wedgwood Legacy Fabric Maintenance |
Total General Prudence Fund Fabric Maintenance Fund Unrestricted Legacy & Project Fund Restricted & Designated Fund £ £ £ £ £ 406,671 406,671 543,740 543,740 30,008 30,008 3,000 3,000 124 124 113,516 44,992 68,524 |
|---|---|
| 1,097,059 75,000 3,000 68,648 950,411 |
It is proposed that, should there be a surplus over and above the funds described, the PCC should meet to decide how it can best be used to further the work of the church and to benefit the public.
10% of annual income, excluding legacies and donations for specific projects, will be allocated to the Mission Committee for outward giving.
This policy will be reviewed every three years. The financial allocations will be reviewed and included in the accounts annually.
Plans for future periods:
Following two years of interregnum and a global pandemic, there is a certain amount of rebuilding required. The nature and structure of 'Church' has changed and congregational habits have shifted. Our focus for the year ahead is therefore to seek community, both within the church family and within the wider village context. We aim to do this by several means:
-
Our services will need to be more welcoming, inclusive and hospitable.
-
We will refresh our branding, to include our website, to illustrate a new and up to date approach.
-
The Vicarage will be used as a non‐threatening 'threshold space' to welcome and serve the village
-
Our teaching will emphasise the basics of Christian life and belief and the need to share our faith with our neighbour
-
• We will introduce new events to focus upon the key areas of activity, with young families (and their children) and the retirees within our community; such as reinvigorating Chatterbox, parenting courses, messy church concerts and mini‐breaks.

WONERSH WITH BLACKHEATH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL TRUSTEES' REPORT, continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Structure, Governance and Management:
The structure and governance of the PCC has been reviewed in previous years and to this structure has been added confirmation of the role and election of Church Wardens. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules (CRR) and in 2018 the APCM approved that the PCC should be smaller than would otherwise be required by the CRR, in view of a shortage of candidates. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The Electoral Roll application and confirmation process is underway and a new Electoral Roll Officer is in place. Members of the PCC are inducted into their role and responsibilities using literature prepared by the Diocesan Department for Mission, Evangelism and Parish Development. Between the departure of one Vicar and a new appointment, day‐to‐day management of the Church was being carried out by the Church Wardens. There have been various staff changes during the year and all new members have undertaken the appropriate training and checks as required by the Diocese.
The PCC met eight times during 2021. In addition to the PCC, there are sub‐committees such as Finance and Mission whose focus can be more defined than that in a PCC meeting. These committees meet as regularly as they can, and as required. A review of the Finance Committee was undertaken during the year and confirmation obtained from the PCC for the structure of the group. The Building Committee awaits a new 'lead' but the Mission Committee have updated their terms of reference and have started a rolling review of mission partners so that regular updating and partnership is sought.
Review of the year:
2021 saw the end of Interregnum at the church with the installation of David Peters as Vicar on 26th May 2021. Kia Pakenham had held the church during a period of vacancy from January to May, aided by Jens Manckel of St Saviour’s Church in Guildford, to whom we are grateful.
The year also saw the resignation of Sarah Rowden to release her to move on to Ordination training for which she had been accepted in the Spring of 2021. James Cooke formally retired, although continues as PTO in order to cover moments of staff absence or holiday. Patsy Kettle has taken an increased role for which we are all thankful. Liz Tilley continues as Chaplain to Birtley House and Keith Bateson has stepped back, concentrating on home care and prayer. Colin Matthews has been invaluable in providing advice and support while needing to isolate away from the church building.
With an invigorated vision to follow, the improvements to the church were completed and the churchyard saw its first full year of ‘re‐wilding’, a process which will develop and be enhanced in the year ahead. The Vicarage has been re‐envisioned and a new children and families worker appointed. Chatterbox has restarted and Messy Church and a Parenting Course begun. Work has been started on reviewing the branding to the church and looking at the service structure bearing in mind reduced resources and the impact of Coronavirus.
The church buildings continue to provide support for the community and it is intended to open these resources out to as wide a community as possible through the art of hospitality. It is intended to instigate a spirit of teamwork to meet the needs of pastoral care and home groups and these changes will be introduced in the coming months.
Services resumed in May 2021 and in June, livestreaming was instigated for the first time. This has continued since with new operators being trained and a strong and regular on‐line community being created, serving those unable to attend for a variety of reasons.
St Martin’s Church at Blackheath has enjoyed relatively steady attendance although with reduced numbers of occasional offices which places some stress on finances. The congregation has been consistent, the hard work of Patricia and David Allen ongoing and there is a feeling of opportunity in the village. The Coffee Morning made a welcome return and different events are planned for the year ahead. The church now has broadband which has been used on numerous occasions to stream services and record others for later broadcast. More will made of this facility in the days ahead.
Wonersh Church took part in the Heritage Day in September and has been host to WI groups enjoying the beauty and history of the building and surroundings.
Wonersh and Shamley Green School:
We maintain strong links with our church school both through assemblies and Open the Book, and also through the Governing Body and other sub‐committees, where the Vicar is a member. The Churchwardens also represent the PCC on the Wonersh and Shamley Green Church of England School and School Meadow Charity and the Wonersh Church Green Trust. The Vicar is a member of Wonersh United Charity.
Financial statements:
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' 'true and fair view' provisions, together with FRS102 (2019) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2019 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP (FRS102)).

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees have assessed the going concern position and have no reason to believe that there are any material uncertainties that would affect the ability of the PCC to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Funds
General funds represent the 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. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
The accounts 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 or those that are informal gatherings of church members
INCOME RECOGNITION
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by, or on behalf of, the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. For donations to be recognised, the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. There are no donated facilities or donated professional services. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102), but is described in the trustees’ report.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. Grants to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Other income
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. Investment income is included in the financial statements when receivable.
Investment gains and losses
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
EXPENDITURE RECOGNITION
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is categorised in line with the layout set out in the ‘PCC Accountability’ guidance on accounts, reports and scrutiny – this is shown as follows:
‐ church activities includes parish share, church running expenses, church hall running costs, church and church hall repairs and maintenance and mission giving and donations.
‐ cost of generating funds includes, if applicable, costs of generating voluntary income, costs of stewardship campaigns and costs of events.
‐ investment management costs.
Governance costs such as the cost of PCC meetings and Independent Examination costs are apportioned across the expenditure categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives.
Activities directly relating to the work of the church
The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.
Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011.

FIXED ASSETS
Land and buildings
Per Church Accounting Regulations, and SORP (FRS 102), land and buildings can be left at cost or revalued to fair or market value. Details of all properties are given in note 4 below.
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out at each year‐end and any resultant loss identified is included in expenditure for the year.
Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts in line with s10(2) of the Charities Act 2011, where the assets should not be included in the accounts but may be referred to in the notes. Costs associated with the maintenance or improvement of such assets will be taken directly to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are incurred. Details of all properties are given in note 4 below.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 subject to expenditure set out in the following paragraph will be capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straight‐line basis.
All expenditure incurred on consecrated or beneficed buildings where individual items cost under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is not capitalised.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight‐line basis over 3‐4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investment property
investment property is measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reporting date. Investment property is not depreciated.
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them (CIFs etc) are valued at fair value at year end.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash deposits with financial institutions that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are stated at transaction price.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Pensions
Details of the pension accounting policy is set out in note 14.

- Lawnsmead Church Hall is a Victorian building, originally the village school, which contains 3 meeting rooms, themain hall, the Turner room and the Jubilee room. The Church Hall was included for the first time in the accounts in 2000 at a ‘value in use’ figure of £350,000. The insurance value of Lawnsmead Hall is now approximately £430,000.
Due to the age of the building, it would be impossible to calculate the current actual cost. On transition to SORP (FRS102), the ‘value in use’ figure was deemed as the asset’s cost at that date. The PCC do not intend a policy of revaluation for this property.
The Cemetery Chapel is held on behalf of the Parish but no value is attributed to it in these accounts. Based upon independent advice this building has an insurance valuation of £100,000 to cover rebuilding.
No values have been attributed to the Wonersh Church building or the churchyard ( the church of St John the Baptist, Wonersh ), the cemetery at Blackheath nor the Blackheath Church building ( St Martin’s ) in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 s10(2) [consecrated and benefice property] and the guidance given in the Church Accounting Regulations.

During the year the PCC employed a ‘children and young families Youth Director’ (from January to June 2021), followed by a new Director from mid November onwards, a church secretary, and an intern (from January to July 2021). All social security costs were covered by the Employment Allowance. The average number of staff employed during the year was 3 (2020 ‐ 3). There are no employees who received total emoluments of more than £60,000. Expenses were reimbursed to 7 (2020 – 6) PCC members (trustees) in the year, totalling £5,975 (2020 £1,945). All expenses related to the running of the church.
In 2020, the PCC was asked to consider making payment for bookkeeping services to Charlie Wakefield (Treasurer) who was an Elected Member of the PCC and a Trustee of the Charity. The PCC reviewed the guidance issued by the Archbishops’ Council, available via parishresources.org.uk, and concluded that payment for the services would be separate to the services of acting as a Trustee. This was discussed and agreed at PCC meetings, with Mr Wakefield not being present, and an hourly rate agreed. The total amount paid in the year was £7,780 (2020 £3,500). As outlined in the above‐mentioned guidance, a written agreement has been produced and agreed between both parties. There are no further related party transactions that require disclosure. Total trustee and key management personnel remuneration benefits were £7,780 (2020 £3,500) as outlined above – key management personnel are considered to be the officers and elected members of the PCC, as listed on the first page of the trustees report. Donations received from trustees in the year amounted to £38,909 (2020 £9,350), as a combination of regular giving, one‐off giving and Special Collections/Special Giving Appeals.
NOTES ON CHURCH WORKERS PENSION FUND (CWPF) – December 2020 Year End
Wonersh with Blackheath PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Scheme
The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, 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 that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have
bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members' Normal‐Pension Age. 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. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers, and 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 and amounted to £990 (2020 £1,710). A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due at 31 December 2022. For the Pension Builder Classic (‘PB Classic’) section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used, and a recovery plan was prepared. The deficit in the PB Classic will be recovered through holding back discretionary bonuses until such time as the deficit is removed, which is expected to be within five years.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Wonersh with Blackheath PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities. An actuarial report was received in July 2021 relating to 2020 – this indicated that by the end of 2020, the estimated deficits in the PB Classic section increased compared to the position at the last valuation but there has been improvement in 2021 which more than recovered the worsening in 2020. The current position in the PB Classic section is positive. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, a bonus of 6% was declared in April 2021 in respect of performance to the end of 2020.

Listed investments are all with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England Investment Account, relating to Blackheath DCC Income Endowment fund – fair value at 31 December 2021 was £22,284 (2020 ‐ £19,521).
A freehold residential property ‘Springfield’ was purchased in September 2014 (see note 6) to house a church youth worker – the property was previously included in the accounts as a freehold property and was included at its historic cost. This asset is included within the Marie Peters Fund. At the end of 2019, the youth worker moved out of the property and the PCC decided to let it for a 6 month initial term with a 3 month rolling notice period thereafter. In 2019, the property was not reallocated in the accounts to investment properties as there was a possibility that this property let would be only temporary and the PCC might require it to be vacated to house church staff again in the future. Throughout 2020 and continuing in to 2021 the property has continued to be let, and the PCC have therefore decided to classify the asset as an investment property and restate the property to fair value on an annual basis. The PCC asked Seymours Estate Agents in December 2021 to supply a marketing value and the property was visited by an agent and a value of £540k was supplied. Seymours is based in the locale and therefore has experience in the location and the type of property being valued.
