## 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 and act as trustees to the charity. 

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 as follows: 

3 



` 


The highest risks are reviewed more regularly, and any high likelihood and high impact risks would be considered at every meeting. 

## 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 

The last ministry year has been a significant and challenging one for All Saints Worcester.  There has been much to celebrate.  We completed the extensive and exciting reordering works in our St Helen’s building (funded by the Strategic Development Fund - SDF - of the Church of England).  We saw the appointment of a new curate (Rev Jamie Klair) and the long-awaited replacement Associate Vicar (Rev James Ellin), as well as new funding to enable Rev Jess Fellows to stay as student & 20s missioner (SDF and Diocesan funded).  The church and team successfully and navigated 

4 



` 

the Vicar taking a 3-month sabbatical and the transition to him being seconded 2 days per week to give leadership to New Wine England.  Throughout this time there has been steady growth in congregation numbers (notably among teenagers, students and 20s) fresh innovation (particularly around the creative arts, a children’s holiday club and youth mission through our “Lightbox” project) and ongoing commitment to caring for the needs of the most vulnerable in our city (primarily through our Worcester Foodbank project).  At the same time, we continue to face the challenge of financial strain, which was acute in the autumn of 2023 and resolved through the generosity of the congregation through an extensive giving appeal.  There remains a need to increase our regular giving and to develop alternative income streams too.  This is in part due to the imminent reduction in SDF funding which tapers in 2025 and ongoing ambition to scale our activity.  A full ministry review is published in a separate document. 

## 6. Financial review 

## 6.1 Financial standing – the headlines: 

The overall charity finances have improved for the fifth year running. However, the church’s general fund faced a very significant challenge. This was addressed and a very successful giving week brought the general fund finances back into the black. Encouraging generosity through focused teaching combined with engaging the congregation through much improved communications on the whole range of church ministry is planned to ensure that we maintain a momentum. 

During 2023 total reserves increased by £90K to £748K (in 2022 reserves increased by £175K to £658K).  While this is mostly due to the continuing support for Foodbank, and the amazing generosity of Worcester people, churches, and organisations, it is a great celebration that the generosity of the All Saints family resulted in a surplus of £33K which moved the General Fund out of a deficit (£28K at the beginning of the year) to a surplus of £19K by the end of the year! 

The PCC continues to plan with a five year forward financial plan to ensure we can manage out finances and commitments once the Strategic Development Fund grants come to an end by 31[st] December 2025. Reviewing the All Saints Vision statement and improving communications will be a key to this. 

Foodbank reserves continue to keep Foodbank in a very strong position to continue to serve during the economic crisis that we are currently experiencing. Foodbank’s forward plan for the next 3 years shows that we have financial resilience in the face of uncertainty over demand for food parcels and the location of our premises.  With a reasonably sensible forecast of income from donations and generosity, we can have confidence in financial sustainability for the next two years based on our current very strong reserves position. However, this will be kept under review as we monitor continued growth in demand (30% in 2023) in the hope that we see a plateau in demand during 2024. 

5 



` 

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 Independent Examination of the Accounts 2023: During 2023 the PCC carried out major works for the internal refurbishment of St. Helen’s Church funded by the Church Commissioners through their Strategic Development Fund (SDF). During the year the grant for these works amounted to £580K.  As a result of this the total gross income for the PCC was £1.50m. which exceeds the Charity Commissions threshold of £1m above which we are required to have the annual accounts subject to a full audit rather than the normal Independent Examination.  However, The PCC has been granted dispensation from full audit for 2023 due to the exceptional circumstances (the SDF funding). This enables the accounts to be subject to an Independent Examination as a full audit would be disproportional bearing in mind the existing assurances and controls in place for the management of the SDF grant and works contract. This arrangement only applies for the 2023 financial year. 

- 6.3 The Annual Statement of Accounts for 2023: 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 27). 

6.4 Funds held by the PCC: a schedule of all funds is set out on pages 12 and 15 The following table explains each fund and why it is held.

## 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 £300K and £400K. 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 12 and 15 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. 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 2023 

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 

8 



` 

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 

## 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. 

> 1 Creditor: goods or services which we have received in the year but for which payment is to be made in the following year. 

9 



` 

## 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. 

## 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 25.  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 to Foodbank: Typically include food, services, equipment, and materials from individuals, churches, local companies, and organisations.

` 

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.  Similar vans on the market are selling for over £15,000. 

|Property / Purpose / Period|Date of<br>Lease|Cost<br>2022|Cost<br>2023|Cost<br>2024|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|Renewal of Lease for<br>Foodbank premises at<br>Lowesmoor Wharf, five years1|From 21st<br>June 2021<br>to 20t June<br>2026.|£30,000|£30,000|£30,000|



Note 1: The lease contains a Tenant and Landlord break clause with nine monthsnotice, the Landlord only to exercise upon obtaining planning permission for development of the site. Rent remains the same. 

Church equipment comprises office equipment, musical instruments, sound, and projection equipment. Foodbank equipment comprises office equipment, warehouse equipment and shelving, warehouse scales and storage crates. Foodbank equipment comprises office equipment, commercial scales, storage crates, heavy duty shelving, chairs, and tables. All of these are estimated to have an individual value of less than £2,500 each.

Indgpendent Examinerfs Roport to the membersltru$t•es of All Salnts Church.
Worcester. Parochlal Church Councll.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2023 which are set out on
pages 110 27.
A dispensation dated 22nd February 2024 was granted by the Charity Commission for the
financi81 year tsnded 31 December 2023 only and allows an independent examination in
Pla￿ of an audit for this year. The dispensation was given based upon the infomation
promded by the tfustees that..
the exceptional circumstances outlined mean that an audit would be disproportionate,
there are no conslilutional or other requirements on the chartty which require an audit..
the charity is not incorporated under company law.
The Charity Commission requested that the independent examinerfs report must disclose
that the examination has taken place instead of an audit IRegulalion 311fj1 and state the
dale of this dispensation.
Respectlve responsibilities of the Trust•es and Independent Examiner
Therefore, the charity's Iruslees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 lthe 2011 Act) and the dispensation given above,
and that an independent examination is needed.
11 is my responsibility lo
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Acl-,
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners section 145151{bl of the 2011 Act., and
slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examinerfs 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 8
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 committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequendy I do not
express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have ￿me lo my attention,
1. which give me reasonable cause lo believe that in any material respect the
requirements
lo keep accounting records in accordance WTth 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 lo enable a proper
erslanding of the accounts to be reached.
