Committees

Standing Committee

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 2021 was impossible to determine as worship continued in a hybrid of in-person and online in varying proportions relating to the state of the Covid pandemic.

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 and, towards the end of the year, by a 6:00pm service at St Thomas’s. In addition, daily online Morning Prayer continued to be a source of encouragement to many who found themselves with little human interaction.

Most of our other regular meetings remained inactive, although we ran a number of series of Church Family Study Evenings online which, during the year, developed into Home Groups.

Our OFSTED-regulated preschool, Little Lambs , continued to operate from the Good Shepherd premises and remains a valuable link to the wider community.

3

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 , as far as we were able.

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.

As a result of Tearfund’s cessation of their Connected Church scheme, the PCC decided that the prime support in for overseas mission should be redirected. Having looked at a number of organizations and individuals, the decision was taken to support Ténébou and Bethan Manga as they began a new work in Senegal under the auspices of UFM. We also continued to give financial support to the work of our Patron, CPAS, and small donations to 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 via email on 4 April 2022 and signed on their behalf by the Chairman.

Treasurer’s Report

Summary

The parish accounts were in deficit by £5,155 for 2021 before the revaluation of our investment assets. Although the deficit is £1,195 lower than last year, this is the third consecutive year where our expenditure has exceeded our income. The deficit for this year was primarily due to repairs and maintenance costs for buildings.

Unrestricted Fund

The ‘Unrestricted Fund’ accounts for the day-to-day running of the parish. Expenditure was significantly above the income received. It has, therefore, been necessary to use £16,481 of our dividend income to offset this shortfall.

Income was £7,358 higher than 2020, with the resumption of activities within the parish, most notably weddings. In terms of ‘Voluntary Income’, giving was £2,759 higher than 2020 through the generosity of our members. 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 online facility. The Parish Giving Scheme continues to provide the added benefit of instant income tax recovery from HMRC each month.

Although income tax recovered appears to be lower than 2020, this is because we recovered two years’ worth of Gift Aid from HMRC last year to ease our cashflow. Donations received last year were allocated to the ‘Chancel Refurbishment Fund’.

Parish expenditure was £6,163 higher compared to 2020, due to the increased costs of running the two church buildings (utilities, upkeep of services etc) as the church buildings reopened and repairs and maintenance activity, some of which had been deferred for previous years. These were partially offset by the reduction in our Common Mission Fund requirement for the year.

The PCC remains committed to support the Diocese as much as possible and we met our Parish Share target for 2021. As noted in my report last year, the Diocese was cognisant that many parishes were struggling financially and therefore the requirement from each parish for the year was reduced. We have committed to meet the 2022 target of £51,826, an increase of £3,155 compared to 2021, but still lower than our 2020 contribution of £53,545.

Designated Fund

5

The ‘Designated Fund’, which is financed by income received from our investments, generated income of £41,165. Whilst this income is sufficient to meet our Youth Ministry and our annual extra-parochial giving, it was necessary, as previously noted, to reallocate £16,481 to meet the day-to-day activities of the parish. This resulted in a deficit of £5,155 for the year. Fortunately, we are blessed with sufficient reserves to cover this shortfall. The Fund had a balance of £ 81,444 at the end of 2021.

Restricted Fund

There were no parish transactions pertaining to this fund during 2021.

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 £202,189.

Member Giving

In addition to that given to the general work of the parish, members also donated the following amounts through the accounts:

St Thomas’s Chancel Ceiling Fund £4,671
Tearfund (General) £515
Ténébou and Bethan Manga £1,986
CGS Food Hub £425

Extra-parochial Giving

As a parish we commit to donate 5% of our regular parishioner giving and investment income to fund charitable work undertaken by Christian organisations.

As noted in the Annual Report, Tearfund have ceased their Connected Church scheme, which included the Emmanuel Hospital Association Programme which we have supported since the beginning of 2019. As a result, the PCC decided that the prime support for overseas mission should be redirected to support Ténébou and Bethan Manga as they began a new work in Senegal under the auspices of UFM.

In addition, we continue to support the Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS), the Christian Institute and the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE). Money received from the Christingle service was donated to ‘Home for Good’, a charity working to mobilise the church in the UK to respond to the needs of vulnerable children.

Chancel Refurbishment Fund

Due to the generosity of our parishioners, I am pleased to report that the cost of the refurbishment has been fully cleared through donations received during the year.

Acknowledgements

Again, I express my appreciation to all who help with administering the church finances. To Jeanne Hiscock as countersignatory for payments made on behalf of the parish, to Jane Lee for managing the wedding fees, to the PCC for their support and oversight of the accounts, and to Lois Blissett who, as Gift Aid secretary, manages the Gift Aid returns, submits tax returns to and deals 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 parish accounts.

Notes to the Statement of Financial Activities for the year ending 31 December 2021

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 2021.
