As a charity we have to be publicly accountable to everyone. Therefore, it is produced in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and any regulations made there under and the Charities SORP; Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102 effective 1 January 2019).

Mrs. Philippa Barton is the PA to the Vicar and also acts as Secretary to the PCC. She is not a member of the PCC, and takes not part in discussions, particularly relating to her remuneration.
The PCC has appointed Nick Joyce Architects Ltd, Worcester as Inspecting Architect. The PCC uses Lloyds Bank, The Cross Worcester.
## 3. Structure, governance and management
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
PCC members are appointed in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. All committed members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and consider standing for election to the PCC.
The Parish of St Nicholas and All-Saints with St. Helen’s is a parish in the Deanery of Worcester within the Diocese of Worcester.
The PCC has responsibility for a number of trusts that have been associated with the All-Saints area of the city including the historic churches of St. Andrews and St. Nicholas’.
The PCC is responsible for health and safety, disability discrimination and safeguarding and child protection. The PCC has nominated people for the Diocesan safeguarding training.
The PCC is responsible for working with the Clergy in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has responsibility for the running of two church buildings: All-Saints and St. Helen’s.
The PCC delegates some business to other groups:
Standing Committee: comprising Church Wardens, Treasurer, stipendiary clergy, and two PCC members (nominated by the PCC). It is responsible for day-to-day business decisions on behalf of the wider PCC, or any decisions that are required urgently but have been agreed in principle by the PCC, who have duly authorized the Standing Committee to make a final decision.
The Mission Support Committee: this is chaired by an elected PCC member, and includes the Vicar and other nominated representatives.
All-Saints Society of Bell Ringers: comprising representatives from the bell ringing team, this is responsible for running the All-Saints church bell tower.
All-Saints Church Strategic Risk Register and Management Action Plans The PCC is aware of its responsibility for risk management and has put in place arrangements to manage and reduce those risks which it regards as most significant. Risks are regularly considered by the Vicar and Church Wardens and reporting to the PCC twice a year. The issues which give the most concern; those which have the highest risk of happening and for which the consequences are material are as follows:
- COVID Pandemic and its impact on staffing resources and income.
3
`
- Resourcing Church: failure to deliver the outcomes expected by the Strategic Development Unit of the Church of England, and the impact on financial sustainability for the future ministry and mission of the Church.
- Key buildings out of action due to the need for repair and maintenance.
## 4. Objectives and activities
Our vision document, the “Vision for All-Saints”, sets out our Mission, Vision, Strategy and Values. Our mission is to be a missional community that gives creative and faithful expression to the Kingdom of God in Worcester and beyond. Our vision is to be a growing community of Kingdom people, formed of multiple smaller communities, in and through which our lives and our city are radically transformed by God’s love, grace and power. Our strategy identifies five strategic priorities as crucial for us if we are to see this vision become a reality. These are focused around creating a discipleship culture, nurturing a caring community, developing a leadership community, expanding our missional impact through our own initiatives, support of mission partners and collaboration with other churches, and exploring multiple expressions of church. We have identified ten values that shape and inform how we approach being church together.
## 5. Achievements and performance
Review of the year: The past year of mission and ministry of the church is reviewed in the reports from the various areas of church life. These are published in the Annual Ministry Review 2021/22. They include reports on our mission projects, the electoral roll, proceedings of the PCC, the fabric, goods and ornaments of the church, and the proceedings of the Deanery Synod.
Though we have enjoyed the relaxing of social distancing restrictions through the course of 2021 (remembering that we were in lockdown 3 in January!), the global COVID-19 pandemic was very much still with us and having an impact personally, socially, and financially on so many in and out of the church. Gathering in person again is something to celebrate and has continued to spark imagination to find ways to gather as the church, including the joyful Church in a Tent event of July 2021. In that spirit, we have prioritised supporting our ministry leaders to gather the church together in small communities, mid-week gatherings and events as the church regroups in person as well as keeping our commitment to live-stream gatherings and maintain our presence online to keep the door to the church open as wide as possible.
Church attendance: Attendance is difficult to measure at the moment with patterns of attendance in person affected by so many factors including caution around meeting in person in the building due to fluctuating local COVID rates. In the past year, 46 new adults have joined our database indicating their intention to be involved more, with an additional 10 young people (under 18s) on the books. This excludes the large numbers attending other gatherings such as Mainly Music and Alpha. Current records suggest that approximately 380 adults and 130 under 18’s would consider themselves members of the church.

## 6. Financial review
## 6.1 Financial standing – the headlines:
The overall charity finances have improved for the third year running. During 2021 total reserves increased by £121K to £483K (in 2020 reserves increased by £214K to £362K). However, within this the General Fund and Designated funds have suffered a reduction of £23K due to the impact of the COVID Pandemic.
The PCC has maintained control of its budget during 2021, and General Fund expenditure has been held within budget.
Foodbank funds have continued to flourish with an amazing response to the Pandemic. Income during 2021 was over £266K (£323K in 2020) and the Foodbank reserves continue to keep Foodbank in a very strong position to continue to serve during the economic crisis that is forecast to arise from the Pandemic. As we are taught in Genesis 41:36 we need to hold this reserve to be used so that people in crisis in our city can be helped to survive the “storm”.
## 6.2 Actions taken during the year:
Financial Sustainability Plan – the next five to ten years.
The PCC made a major breakthrough in planning for the future and seek financial sustainability. As a resourcing church in receipt of significant grants from the Church of England’s Strategic Development Fund (SDF), the PCC has developed a five-year budget plan to help us transition to being self-funded by 2026 as the SDF funds fall out. This will enable us to continue with our ministry as a Resourcing Church and our responsibility for growing the church in and around our area of the Diocese.
The 2022 budget and five-year strategic financial sustainability plan is designed to ensure that the ministry of All saints Church, including its wider ministry to the area (our area of the Diocese) as a Resourcing Church, can be maintained into the future to get us past the reliance on SDU funding and enable the full complement of staffing and programmes to continue, including the adoption of the post of Associate Vicar – i.e., to maintain the momentum of our Mission in the Diocese as a Resourcing Church growing the Kingdom.
More information on this will follow in early 2022 and people are invited to find out more about this from our Church Treasurer, Grahame Lucas (treasurer@allsaintsworcester.org.uk) or one of the Church Wardens.
The financial sustainability plan continues to plan our future investment in mission and ministry by:
- Clarifying how financial resources and budget plans support the vision for All-Saints
- Directing financial resources to key priorities within the vision statement
- Encouraging financial donations and ongoing support through a clear policy on how all new financial giving will be used by the PCC to develop mission and ministry as set out in the document a Vision for All-Saints
The PCC continues to ensure that financial resources are made available to meet the needs of a growing and vibrant church, and to facilitate mission and ministry, and to use financial resources as efficiently and effectively as is reasonably possible.
5
`
There are some major repairs and further building improvements planned for the future. Funding for these works is provided in part by the Resourcing Church grants, but additional funding is being sought. The PCC has a sub-group to oversee the plans for this work, and has appointed a Buildings Development Manager to ensure that this project is well planned.
Ongoing actions on financial stewardship and generosity include:
- Ongoing teaching and regular updates to the church on finances and provision of information to enable church members to regularly review their giving and help newcomers to engage with us through their giving.
- Governance: the PCC continually seeks to improve the way it works to better manage its business.
There is a real sense of turning a corner. God is in this and He is urging us to step forward faithfully praying about our Evangelism and the Missio Dei (the mission of God):
- The mystery of how God is working through resources,
- The opportunity that our budget and finances offer to share our mission (the good news),
- The clarity in thought and word with which we will start to communicate on our mission,
- The audacity which our budget enables through the application of resources; that God’s people would go out and be disciples and evangelists.
- 6.3 The Annual Statement of Accounts for 2021: is set out on the following pages and has been subject to Independent Examination (see the Examiner’s report at the end of this document – page 26).

- 6.5 Funds transfers: the PCC agreed the following movements within its funds as follows (see page 16 also):
- Transfer the balance of the general equipment budget for 2021 of £2,287.41 transferred
- from General Fund to the Equipment Fund (as per existing PCC Policy)
- Transfer of the balance of the Mission Partner Support budget of £5,200 to the Mission Partner Support Fund to be allocated in 2022.
## 7. Reserves policy
The PCC policy requires a General Fund Reserve to be maintained as a contingency to cover for urgent and emergency situations that may arise from time to time. As a guide to budget planning:
- Immediate action: to ensure the balance on General Fund is at least £20K.
- Medium term action: the combined balance on General Fund and all Designated funds (e.g., equipment replacement funds, Building Maintenance funds, Vicar’s Discretionary Mission Fund, and the Overseas Mission Partner Fund) should be at least 10% of gross expenditure (if possible), and built up over the medium term to represent 25% (i.e., three months) of expenditure.
It is also the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on the Foodbank Fund equivalent to 9 months of operating costs. This equates to between £40K and £50K. Foodbank is currently operating within this policy.
A number of restricted and designated funds are held for specific purposes. These are described above at Para. 6.4. A financial schedule of them is set out on pages 13 and 16 of the Annual Accounts.
It is our policy to invest funds in Lloyds Bank and CBF Church of England Deposit Funds, after taking account of the need for cash in the bank current account to meet day to day expenses and cash flow. Some small investments arising from other charities and trusts are held in other investment funds. These will be reviewed on a regular basis.
8
`
## 8. Funds held as a custodian for others
The PCC has custody of six bank and investment accounts which bear the name other than All-Saints and St Helen’s. The Bell Ringer’s account holds the funds for the Bell Ringers Restricted Fund.
## 9. Plans for the future
See the document “A Vision for All-Saints Worcester” which summarizes the All-Saints plans for the future, available from our website www.allsaintsworcester.org.uk or the Church Office.
## 10. Accounting Policies - for the year ended 31 December 2021
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and any regulations made there under and the Charities SORP; Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102 - effective 1 January 2019). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
## 10.1 Funds (see paragraph 6.4 for a full list of all the funds held by All-Saints PCC)
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: are held for a particular purpose by the PCC, but still remain legally unrestricted.
Restricted funds: these are funds raised by the church or given to the church for specific purposes and must be spent on that purpose.
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 nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
## 10.2 Incoming Resources
## _Voluntary income and capital resources_
Collections: accounted for when received by or on behalf of the PCC Planned giving: under Gift Aid is accounted for only when received
On-line giving is accounted for net of fees charged by the on-line provider
Income tax: recoverable on Gift Aid donations is accounted for when the donation is received
Grants and legacies: to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due
Fund raising: special events (e.g., concerts) accounted for gross Sales of books and magazines: accounted for gross
_Other ordinary income_
Rental income: from the letting of church premises is accounted for when the rental is due _Income from investments_
Dividends and interest: accounted for when receivable. Tax on such income is accounted for in the same accounting year
## _Gains and losses on investments_
Realised gains or losses: accounted for when investments are sold
Unrealised gains or losses: accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December
9
`
## 10.3 Resources used
Grants and donations to missions etc.: accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC
## _Activities directly relating to the work of the Church_
Parish share: accounted for when payable. Any agreed payment remaining unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor[1] in the Balance Sheet.
## _Purchases using the church Barclaycard Credit Card_
All balances on the Barclaycard account are paid by Direct Debit in full on the due date to avoid incurring interest charges and to avoid creating a loan outstanding. Purchases are accounted for when the respective statement is paid.
_Payment of regular liabilities and accounting for a full year of costs_
All periodic payments are accounted for when paid and any liabilities at the year-end but which are yet to be invoiced are not accrued, thus ensuring a full year of costs is accounted for each year.
## 10.4 Fixed assets
## _Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings_
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the vicar/rector and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers these to be inalienable (i.e., cannot be transferred to another person). They are listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired before 2006 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 2006 (had there been any) would have been capitalized and depreciated in the financial statements over their anticipated useful economic life on a straight-line basis.
All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings, individual items under £2,500, on repair, or movable church furnishings, is shown as expenditure for the year in the financial statements.
## _Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment_
Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,500 or less are shown as expenditure in the year when the asset is acquired.
## _Investments_
Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.
## _Current assets_
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
1 Creditor: goods or services which we have received in the year but for which payment is to be made in the following year.
10
`
## 10.5 Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind are all non-money items that have been donated to the charity for charitable purposes. Their value is not recorded in the accounts but they are reported in the notes to the accounts; see note 8 on page 32. Typically, this includes:
Volunteers: the time given by volunteers is not accounted for in the accounts. Volunteers are the backbone of the Mission and Ministry of All-Saints Church, and the Annual Review sets this out and expresses our thanks for the amazing work that is done. Foodbank is staffed by volunteers and local companies and organisations donate staff time to Foodbank. The PCC’s gratitude for these gifts is reflected in the Annual Review.
Donations of food to Foodbank: The value of food donated is not shown in the Accounts as it is not realizable; food is donated for the specific purposes of Foodbank operating under the Franchise of the Trussell Trust, and the value is only shown as a note to the accounts.
Donations of Toys and Clothes: Worcester Foodbank receives donations of new toys and children’s clothing plus good quality used clothing, baby clothing and equipment.
Donations of goods and services: Local companies and organisations donate services, equipment and materials.

During the year no other payments of salary or wage were made to members of the PCC.
## Related Party Transactions
The Church Treasurer is also a Trustee and Treasurer to Chapel House Ministries. During 2021 the PCC donated a grant of £2,000 to Chapel House Ministries (£2,000 in 2020). The Church Treasurer took no part in any discussions or decision making relating to this grant award.
A member of the PCC is related to one of the PCC’s employees; the Youth Worker. That PCC member took no part in any discussions or decisions relating to the Youth Worker.
## Note 4.1 - Fixed Assets
The PCC has the following fixed assets with a value greater than £2,500 as follows:
|Asset|Date Purchased and
depreciation plan|Original

|320 All Saints
Church Stackable
chairs and 13
storage dollies.|Purchased 4thMarch 2020.
Assume value depreciated by
25% in year one then the
straight-line method assuming
life span of 10years.|£24,137|£16,092|£2,011|
|Desk and
Cabinet to house
sound and audio-
visual control
equipment.|Purchased 4thFebruary 2020.
Assume value depreciated by
40% in year one then the
straight-line method assuming
life span of 10years.|£2,777|£1,481|£185|
Note* The depreciation method chosen for the Foodbank van is the straight-line method. The van was purchased when 6 months old and was significantly discounted for Foodbank and as an ex-demonstrator vehicle. Therefore, initial loss of value from new has already been reflected in the purchase price, making the straight-line method of depreciation a reasonable choice. It is assumed the van will have a value of £10,000 in December 2023 based on the sale price of second-hand vehicles of the same make and model of a similar age and after allowing for trade in prices.

Independent Examlnevs Report to the membersltrustees of All Salnts Church,
Worcester, Parochlal Church Councll.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out
on pages 12 to 25.
Respectlve responslbllltles of the Trustees and Independent Examlner
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the prOdureS laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent Examlnerfs Statement
My examination was carried out in accordan with the General Directions given by
the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from the management )MmIttee conmIng any such matters. The
prOdureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a
full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examlnerfs Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention
. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements
to keep accounting records in accordan with s.130 of the 2011 Act" or
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not
been met; or
2. to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
