Committees

Standing Committee

2

This Committee has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council, and consists of the Rector, the Churchwardens, the Treasurer, the Secretary and two other PCC members.

Buildings Committee

This Committee assists the Churchwardens in the care and maintenance of the buildings. It does this by making recommendations to the PCC and offering practical assistance to the Wardens. It consists of the Rector, the Churchwardens, one other PCC member and two co-opted church members with particular skills and expertise.

Objectives and activities

The PCC, with the incumbent, has the responsibility of promoting within the Parish 'the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.' The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings, a responsibility which (as noted above) is largely delegated to the Buildings Committee.

Safeguarding / Health and Safety

The PCC has adopted the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Wendy Moore is the Safeguarding Co-ordinator. Health and Safety is overseen by the Buildings Committee.

Review of the year

The average adult attendance on a 'normal' Sunday in 2020 was impossible to determine.

The pattern of services was very different during this year and consisted principally of a 10:30 service online via Zoom. This was supplemented by a 9:00am 1662 Communion service at St Thomas’s when regulations permitted in-person gatherings. In addition, Morning Prayer was held online daily from early in the pandemic and has proved to be a source of encouragement to many who found themselves with little human interaction.

Most of our other regular meetings stopped, although we ran a number of series of Church Family Study Evenings online with a regular attendance of more than 30, and Focus (for 20s-30s) also continued online.

Our OFSTED-regulated preschool, Little Lambs , continued to operate from the Good Shepherd premises and remains a valuable link to the wider community, remaining open during lockdowns principally for the children of key workers.

Our Youth and Children’s Minister, Jamie Johnston, has worked hard with families, children and young people, both online and in person. We also continued our holiday club for the over 60s, All At Sea , online in a simplified form days in the summer, pre-Christmas and pre-Easter.

3

We are represented on the Basingstoke Deanery Synod and we continue to play an active part in OneChurch Basingstoke represented on the Steering Group by Jeanne Hiscock and Jamie Johnston.

Financial review

A full report of our financial activities for the past year is contained in the Treasurer's Report which is attached hereto. The Parish Giving Scheme, which makes the whole process of giving very much more streamlined and considerably reduces the demands placed on our sidesmen and others, operates extremely well and nearly all our planned giving now comes through this route.

The PCC decided that, again, the prime support in 2020 for overseas mission should be given to Tearfund and we also continued to give financial support to the work of CPAS and a couple of other organizations.

Reserves policy

Our Reserves policy is to keep enough on short-term deposit to cover emergencies and to invest the remainder of our capital with the CCLA to generate income.

Approved by the PCC by email on 9 April 2021 and signed on their behalf by the Chairman.

Treasurer’s Report

Summary

The Parish accounts show a deficit of £6,350 for 2020 before the revaluation of investments. This was primarily due to the reduction in letting income because CGS was unavailable for private hire for most of the year due to the restrictions imposed during Covid-19 restrictions.

Unrestricted Fund

The ‘Unrestricted Fund’ accounts for the day-to-day running of the Parish. Expenditure was significantly above the income received to the extent that prior year reserves for this ‘Fund’ were not sufficient to meet the shortfall. It has therefore been necessary to use £5,961 of dividend income to reduce the shortfall to £4,122. This has fully depleted the prior year reserves in this fund.

Whilst income was £3,702 lower compared to 2019, as previously mentioned, this was primarily due to the reduction in letting income.

In terms of ‘Voluntary Income’, although parishioner giving was £470 lower than the previous year, given the current circumstances this is understandable and we are grateful that so many in our Church family have continued to give on a regular basis through the Parish Giving Scheme, bank payments or the new online facility. We have also recovered Gift Aid from HMRC for the previous two fiscal years (2018/19 and 2019/20). The Parish Giving Scheme continues to provide the added benefit of income tax recovery from HMRC each month.

Parish expenditure (excluding Parish Events) is £3,487 lower compared to 2019 due to the reduced costs of running the two Church buildings (utilities, upkeep of services, the churchyard etc), reduced administration costs (stationery and meetings/conferences) and clergy expenses.

The PCC remains committed to support the Diocese as much as possible and we met our Common Mission Fund request for 2020. The Diocese is cognisant that many parishes have struggled financially in 2020 and 2021 and have actively reviewed and reduced their expenditure commitments for the coming year and therefore their requirements from each parish. We have committed to meet the 2021 target of £48,672, a decrease of £4,873 compared to our 2020 contribution.

5

Unfortunately, the income received in the ‘Unrestricted Fund’ is not enough to meet our staff costs, significant maintenance costs or our established charitable commitments. For these we continue to rely on our investment income.

Designated Fund

The ‘Designated Fund’, which is income received from our investments, generated £40,718. Whilst this income is usually sufficient to meet our staff costs, maintenance costs, youth ministry expenses and our annual charitable giving, as previously noted it was necessary, this year, to reallocate £5,961 to meet the day-to-day activities of the Parish. This reduced the income amount to £34,757 resulting in a shortfall of £2,228, despite reductions in expenditure, primarily in respect of repairs and maintenance costs to the church buildings.

Restricted Fund

There were no parish transactions pertaining to this fund during 2020.

Parish Investments (Endowment Fund)

The Parish continues to maintain two investment accounts held with CCLA Investment Limited. The value of the funds at the end of the year had increased by £90,939.

Charitable Giving

We commit to giving 5% of our regular parishioner giving and investment income to fund charitable work undertaken by Christian centred organisations. We continued to support Tearfund (meeting our final commitment to the Emmanuel Hospital Association Programme), the Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS), the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE), the Children’s Society and the work of the Christian Institute.

The total contribution by the Parish in 2020 was £4,827. In addition, individual parishioners continue to give generously to Tearfund in support of their general work and to the Emmanuel Hospital Association Programme.

Chancel Ceiling Restoration Fund

The Fund currently stands at £10,368 from personal donations. This is approximately 47% of the £22,000 estimated cost excluding VAT. Whilst the PCC continues to investigate potential grant options there is no certainty that we will be able to secure

6

such funding. Although the PCC has committed to underwrite any shortfall in funding prior to the commencement of the refurbishment in March 2021, the continued generosity and support of our parishioners and visitors to St Thomas’s will be critical to reduce the pressure on our finances.

Acknowledgements

Again, I express my appreciation to all who helped in the counting and banking of the weekly church collections in the early part of the year, to Jeanne Hiscock as countersignatory for payments made on behalf of the Parish, to Jane Lee for managing the Wedding finances, to the PCC for their support and oversight of the accounts, and to Lois Blissett who, as Gift Aid secretary, managed the Gift Aid returns, submitted tax returns to and dealt with HMRC to recover the income tax.

Finally, I wish to express my thanks to Mr Don Hilton (ACA) who again gave his time to complete the Independent Examination of the PCC accounts.

Paul Carson

Notes to the Statement of Financial Activities for the year ending 31 December 2020

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets, 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 affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

Restricted funds are donations received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. Such funds may only be spent on the object for which they were given. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund but apportions any interest on an average basis.

Designated funds are funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future. They include income from endowments which will be used for designated projects but excluding expenditure on Parish Share or general church purposes.

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which will be retained either permanently or at the PCC's discretion; the income derived from the endowment will be used as designated income.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, donations and collections are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received. Dividends are accounted when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable.

Resources Expended

Donations are accounted for when paid over and the Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when due.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable Church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC are listed in the Church's inventory.

Investments are valued at market value on 31 December 2020.
