2 Annual Report for 2021

a) Electoral Roll – 153 parishioners are listed on the electoral roll. This is a modest decline from 159 the previous year.

b) Report of the fabric, goods, and ornaments – The churchwardens have completed their annual inventory and report that all are in good order (page 11). For details, please ask the churchwardens for a full list of what is checked.

c) Report on the PCC’s proceedings in 2021– The Vicar highlighted details from this overview of the PCC year written by the PCC Secretary (See ‘PCC Review of the Year’, pages 11 – 12). He noted that the names of the PCC members are recorded in Book 1. He spoke about the PCC meetings throughout the year, beginning with the short zoom meeting in January 2021 to welcome him to the PCC, and another meeting later that month. St Mary’s also worshipped, held the vision series on prayer, as well as the Lent course via zoom. The decision was made to re-open the church in March.

In May, the PCC agreed the safeguarding statement, and attended a ‘PCC Away Day’ via zoom led by the Diocesan Mission Enabler to put together the ‘Church Development Plan.’ The Eco Church paper from the Diocese and the ‘Living in Love and Faith’ CofE course were discussed in July. In September, the PCC pursued the idea of Eco Church. (He also gave a 2022 update. St Mary’s has now applied for the bronze award – hope to achieve silver soon – then continue to work towards gold afterwards.)

He also confirmed that the 8am Sunday service was agreed to begin weekly in November and an Eco Church group held a meeting in December. The PCC continue the tradition of saying ‘The Grace Prayer’ together to conclude meetings and also pause meetings to pray for St Mary’s ministries. The Vicar thanked PCC Secretary, Sarah Bugler, and she was presented with flowers and a card.

3

d) Parish Safeguarding Officer, Roger King said he had a few things he wishes to highlight from his report on page 14. The interval in between DBS checks has been reduced from five years to three years. Training has been a problem during the pandemic and requirements have changed. The PCC must complete the Safeguarding Foundation course and the Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse course. The Vicar thanked Roger and the parishioners showed their appreciation with applause.

e) Financial Statements – The PCC Treasurer, David Leach, gave a PowerPoint presentation (attached). David spoke of the joy of 2 legacies received. He said he would like to see them used for something special. £471,363 is set aside for the St Andrew’s room extension. David spoke about the new streaming capability, paid for with a legacy, which was used for Christmas services. It can also be used for weddings and funerals. He confirmed that this has meant so much to people and is a great asset.

He spoke about St Mary’s growing in numbers in 2022 and encouraging people to join . The Treasurer thanked all who contribute to planned giving. The total raised each year through planned giving has reduced over the years. He also spoke with concern about the outlook for 2022 with inflation at 9% – the highest for 40 years. The next challenge, he said, would be how to grow the ministry and still pay the energy bill. David thanked Hilary Mills for doing the banking, Helen Gravette, Lucy Leach for processing Gift Aid, and Mark McMurtrie for

countersigning cheques. He thanked all who give and support St Mary’s. David answered a few questions, and the Vicar thanked him for all his hard work. The parishioners showed their gratitude with applause.

3 Appointment of the Independent Examiner – David Weller has confirmed that he is happy to serve in this role. Proposer – David Leach, seconder – Mark McMurtrie, approved by a majority.

4 Elections

a) Deanery Synod – There are no elections for deanery synod this year. The 3 representatives end of term is next year.

b) PCC – The Vicar confirmed that there are two vacancies. Helen Teresa Edwards is seeking to be re-elected. Margaret Johnson is stepping down. The Vicar thanked Margaret for serving for a number of years. The parishioners thanked Margaret with applause. She has nominated Vanessa McMurtrie who is standing for election for the first time. Helen Teresa Edwards and Vanessa McMurtrie were elected by a majority vote. 5 Annual Reports from Church Organisations (Book 2 ) – The Vicar said that if anyone has any questions regarding Book 2, they should speak with the author of that report. He thanked everyone for their contributions to Book 2 and for all their hard work during 2021.

Statement of correction:

The children’s activities pages in ‘Horsell Matters’ magazine in 2021 were designed and produced by a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous, NOT by the former children’s and families worker as incorrectly stated in the APCM report (Book 2, page 10).

6 Vicar’s Report for 2021

2021 was a rather unusual year with recovering from the pandemic, gradually restarting our usual events, services and activities and welcoming our new vicar Revd Dmitry and his family to St Mary’s and Horsell. Since the previous APCM, the parish sadly said farewell to a number of much-loved members of the congregation: Alan Bennett, Joan Booker, Anna Jones, Colin Kramer, Ken Leat, Joan Simpson, Elizabeth Williams. We started the beginning of the year with no public services on Sunday due to the pandemic. After the installation of our new vicar Revd Dmitry, the PCC supported his proposal to move online for Zoom services for Feb and March, which proved to be quite a success enabling our congregation to worship in a new digital way and to be able to see each other after a long break. Eventually we returned to our church building for Easter Day Celebration and have been meeting in person since.

4

Thanks to Roy Jarvis’ legacy we were able to install the new A/V equipment allowing us to record and stream our Sunday and other services, which we have been offering since the day of the installation was complete in August 2021.

Our 8am services restarted at the end of April on a fortnightly basis, then on a weekly basis from November. Reopening of in person ‘Meditation’ and ‘Peaceful Praise and Prayer’ services shortly followed. Many thanks to Elaine Davies for overseeing them.

In terms of teaching, we have done teaching series on ‘Prayer’ and ‘Evangelism’ with some returns to the Lectionary during 2021. The small preaching team of 3 was formed that faithfully delivered thought provoking sermons every week.

4 home groups were relaunched in September. Many thanks to their leaders offering the hospitality of their homes and for creating a safe environment for bible study, prayer, and fellowship: Michael and Lesley Templeman, Barry and Gill Squibb, Mike Couper, Dmitry and Olya Lutsenko.

We also ran Two Courses in 2021: 1.a 6-week Lent Course based on prayer, with 20+ attending on Zoom; 2. Alpha, an evangelistic course, with 6-9 attending in person for 10 weeks. Many thanks to the team who gave their time, energy, and effort to run them.

Prayer Ministry team was formed led by Margaret Johnson and Elaine Davies to assist the vicar and the churchwardens in promoting prayer in the church. The after-church prayer ministry was restarted in September. Pastoral team headed by Hilary Mills continued to offer pastoral support throughout the year meeting ever increasing needs of the members of our congregation due to pandemic, ill health or old age. Many thanks to Hilary and her team to offering such a vital ministry to the members of our congregation.

Children Activities gradually restarted throughout 2021. JaM restarted in May, followed by Twinkle Tots throughout the summer on the Village Institute Green. Tuesday Mums and Toddlers’ group restarted in September. Messy Church restarted in October. Thanks to Marcus and his team.

Open the Book team met regularly during the pandemic either online or face to face restrictions permitting for recording of the Bible stories, Bible study and Fellowship and eventually started going into Junior school in September 2021. Horsell Village school continued receiving videos from us throughout the year. One face to face visit was made to St Andrew’s school. Many thanks to Roz Haynes and her team for commitment to schoolwork.

Schools’ visits to St Mary’s were, to somewhat, patchy due to pandemic and restrictions in place. Y3 came to learn about Christian Festivals and Colours in June. Y6 ‘leavers’ assembly was held at St Mary’s in July. St Andrew’s school Y1 and Y2 came for a visit to learn more about the church and its history. The church was also used for Harvest Festival by Junior school and for Christmas Performances by both Junior and Horsell Village schools. St Andrew’s school came to celebrate their annual patronal day service in November.

Handbell club at Junior school continued to flourish under the leadership of Mike Couper and the team, Many thanks to them all.

Our Christmas Services were affected by another Covid outbreak (this time the Omicron variant). Unfortunately, we had to curtail some of our Christmas plans and cancelled face to face Christingle services and also St Andrew’s school did not come for their annual Carol Service. Despite Covid and restrictions we had our Annual 9 Lessons and Carols, Midnight Communion and Christmas Day Celebration Services.

There were other times when we provided worship for different needs: the Memorial service in November to which recently bereaved people were invited to light a candle and join in a short candlelit service. Lodge Brothers (local Funeral Directors) approached us to hold a carol Service with a similar format in December. The Remembrance Day service took place by the war memorial in November, more than 300 residents came to pay respect to those who have fallen in WW1 and 2 and recent conflicts.

5

During 2021 we hosted the annual Heritage Weekend and the bi-annual Christmas Tree Festival, with over 1000 residents and visitors attending both. Many thanks to Mike Couper and team for running these activities. We managed to maintain some of our links with the local community. To name some of them, Woodlanders (helping in the churchyard), Garden Safari, Village Show (helping with refreshments), World Day of Prayer. Nursing Homes . Margaret Johnson started going with the team to Throwleigh Lodge once a month.

Unfortunately, the home was closed in the summer and the residents were relocated elsewhere. We did not go into other Nursing Homes during 2021.

3 Baptisms took place during 2021: Amalie, Maxwell and Connie were baptised. We have retained the links with the families and now see them occasionally at church on Sundays.

Horsell Matters Magazine . With one issue being offered online the rest of them were hand delivered. Many thanks to Sue Rowlatt, the editorial team and to those who deliver the magazine for maintaining this vital link with our community.

SAR extension update - A Chartered Quantity Surveyor was recruited to assess the cost of the plans produced by our Architect. Work on refining the designs continued, culminating in a visit by Guildford DAC headed by the Archdeacon and DAC secretary at the end of August. Their useful recommendations were incorporated into our designs and statements of need and significance in preparation for an application to WBC for pre planning consent in the first half of 2022. The development team was strengthened by the recruitment of additional members. Thanks to Brain Sheriff.

Church Wall update - Concerns over the safety of the south wall and the Cedar tree at the front of the church continue to delay WBC from taking over responsibility for the closed churchyard. We contracted an independent structural engineer to report on the walls condition and a cost-effective solution. Thanks to Brian Sheriff. My final thanks go to our two dedicated churchwardens Mike Couper and Brian Sherriff for the support that they offer to me and the church.

The Vicar asked if there were any questions.

Jan Mihell asked if when the flag is changed will it be a Union flag for the Jubilee. It was confirmed that a new Union flag has now been raised. It was also confirmed that the minutes will continue to be displayed.

7 Discussion on matters of general parochial interest (it would be helpful, although not essential) if you would notify the Vicar or PCC Secretary of any items before the meeting begins.

Alan Nichols suggested that the image on the cover of St Mary’s annual reports should be updated for the 2022 annual report.

8 Update on St Andrew’s Room Extension – Brian Sheriff

The Archdeacon and the DAC looked at the plans and interviewed the architect. They generally supported the plans and provided some updates. The subcommittee relies on Roger Chamberlain for his advice. The changes recommended have been applied, the plans have now been submitted to Woking Borough Council (WBC) for pre-planning advice, and a reply should be received soon. Brian said the plans are on display in St Andrew’s room so please look at what is being proposed and ask the subcommittee any questions. A survey has also been completed.

The subcommittee will meet at the end of June to review next steps and plan to apply for full planning permission afterwards. Costings have been considered in two different ways: as a refurbishment or a demolish and rebuild, as there is a difference in the impact of the VAT. Brian noted that the subcommittee have had the advice of a professional (VAT). Add figures for above. At this point in time 60% of the cost is set aside already. The team haven’t yet looked at grant agencies and fundraising. He said another option is a low interest loan.

6

There is a gap between what we have and the total cost. The Treasurer asked if anyone is interested in looking into a grant.

Brian took questions:

Brian confirmed that a 10% contingency as well as 15% inflation has been considered based on starting construction next year.

He also answered a query about when the plans would be on the website, and he stated that this would be possible when the plans are submitted for planning permission. Councillor Adam Kirby confirmed that the plans will be on the WBC website once they are formally submitted.

Brian was also asked about the objective of the project. He spoke about the initial idea to provide more toilet facilities as well as a disabled toilet. In the plans there are 5 toilets of which one is a disabled toilet. He confirmed that the kitchen facilities do not meet modern health and safety standards. The Vicar stated that the

overall vision is for a community hub, not only for St Mary’s. He also said the existing hall has served for many years but there is a need to build for the future.

The Vicar thanked Brian for all the things he does for St Mary’s.

Revd Lutsenko thanked everyone for attending the annual meetings and closed the meeting.

At the PCC meeting in January, the Eco Church Group reported that the first Eco Church Survey was nearly completed. The PCC also approved the next stage of the work to rebuild the churchyard wall, and the next two stages of the contract for the St Andrew’s Room Development plans, as well as the Budget Paper.

In March, the St Andrew’s Room Extension Subcommittee continued to make progress, and more people joined this committee. There was an update on the Deanery Synod, and St Mary’s work with the schools was discussed. At this meeting, there was also an update from the PCC Treasurer, the Annual Accounts were approved, and plans were reviewed for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

On 21 March 2022, the Parochial Church Council adopted the “Church of England Promoting a Safer Church Policy Statement, House of Bishop’s practice Guidance and supporting Diocesan safeguarding protocols”.

In May, a report from St Andrew’s Room Extension Subcommittee was carefully reviewed. The Eco Church Survey was discussed at this meeting, and the PCC were asked to contribute their ideas. An application would be completed soon for the bronze award.

11

The PCC also decided that a new union flag would be bought for the platinum jubilee, and a new tree will be planted to replace the Blue Atlas Cedar tree in the churchyard.

At the J uly meeting, the PCC appointed the PCC officers. They are appointed every year at the meeting after the APCM. At the same meeting, the 6 subcommittees were also appointed. The Vicar discussed the “Role of the PCC” paper, which will be displayed on the church noticeboard.

In September, it was decided that the “Role of the PCC” paper would be reviewed each year, after the APCM, and a copy will also be given to each new PCC member. The PCC also discussed and updated the priorities and action points in the Church Development Plan.

At meeting in November, the PCC set aside ordinary business to reflect on the past year and prepare for the future.

12

Review of the Deanery Synod Year

Deanery Synod continues to meet three times a year.

At the February 2022 meeting, the main item on the agenda was engaging with schools. Jane Whittington from Guildford Diocese presented, including ideas on how churches and schools could work together.

The PCC considered these ideas at the March PCC meeting. The PCC concluded that St Mary’s works well with local schools and gave praise for all we do.

Deanery Synod were informed that Jonathan Thomas was standing down as Area Dean at the end of February 2022. Mark Wallace replaced Jonathan and gave a brief introduction at June’s meeting.

The June 2022 meeting was held at St Michael’s, Sheerwater. The main agenda item was blessing the community through sport. We were joined by a personal trainer who runs exercises classes for all ages at All Saints New Haw and in Sheerwater. Deanery Synod then participated in an exercise class, working out to a selection of dance hits from the 1980s and 1990s.

Our workout continued with a walk around Sheerwater, making the most of a pleasant summer’s evening. The walk gave Deanery Synod an opportunity to see the regeneration going on in Sheerwater. We heard about Woking Borough Council’s plans to redevelop St Michael’s church to be a community hub for Sheerwater. Woking Council have approved £1.85m investment budget however uncertainty remains over the project given the financial challenges Woking Council faces. St Michael’s values the prayers of the Deanery.

At the October 2022 meeting, churches from across the Deanery shared good news on something happening in their church.

St Mary’s Horsell updated Deanery Synod on our work supporting Ukrainians, first as a collection hub and then in providing English courses.

Along with our update, a Pop-up after school café in Sheerwater and a new trainee children’s worker at St John’s were particularly well received by Deanery Synod.

13

Safeguarding and Disclosure and Barring Service Checks

We wish to extend our thanks to Roger King who stepped down as our safeguarding officer in November 2022 and was replaced by an interim safeguarding team, prior to the appointment of Sandra Bayliss as Parish Safeguarding Officer and Brian Sheriff as DBS Validator.

The PCC has continued to have due regard during the year to the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy which adopts the church of England Promoting a Safer Church Policy Statement and the House of Bishops’ Practice Guidance and the supporting diocesan safeguarding protocols. The PCC agreed to the Policy Statement, copies of which were displayed in the Church Porch, on the display board in the North Aisle and in St Andrew’s Room.

A safeguarding self-audit is no longer required and was replaced by an on-line Safeguarding Parish Dashboard, which covers the ground previously covered by the self-audit.

Online safeguarding training and DBS checks have continued throughout the year. One incident was referred to the Diocesan safeguarding advisor for consideration.

Horsell Parochial Church Council Financial Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022

Financial Review

Income and Expenditure

Planned and voluntary giving with associated gift aid is our primary source of income. Planned giving in 2022 was in line with 2021. Cash collections at services were higher in 2022 than 2021. Covid restrictions were lifted and we had more occasional visitors. The PCC are extremely grateful for the generous voluntary giving which provides the majority of our total income.

Investment income increased in 2022 benefitting from higher interest rates on bank deposits and increased rental income from 6 Waldens Park Road.

Income in 2021 benefitted from two large legacies. A legacy was received for £471,363 with the PCC designating £400,000 towards the St Andrew’s Room extension with the balance held for additional future remedial work that is likely to be required on the church building. A second legacy for £10,000 was received which was utilised to upgrade the church’s audio visual system to allow streaming. The PCC are extremely grateful for these two generous legacies which will transform our mission in Horsell.

Excluding legacies, income was £128,159 in 2021. In 2022, income totalled £151,003.

We continue to donate 10% of our unrestricted income to key mission partners as we believe it is a joy to give from what God has so generously given to us and share Jesus' love in our world. With higher unrestricted income in 2022, we were able to increase our outward giving by £1,636.

Expenditure for the year included £28,546 on architectural plans, surveys and costing for the St Andrew’s room extension. £14,400 was spent to fell a large cedar tree in the churchyard which was diseased and dangerous.

Ordinary expenditure totalled £159,118 in 2022, slightly up on the equivalent figure in 2021 (£156,434) due to cost inflation.

The Parish Share continues to be our most significant outgoing of £93,558 with Insurance at £4,142 and Gas and Electricity combined at £3,392. Costs of running the parish office were £11,143.

Further cost inflation is expected in 2023, particularly following our previous fixed price energy contract ending in late 2022.

Children and Families Work expenditure totalled £18,573 in 2022. Marcus Brookfield, our employed children and families worker, left us in 2022 with children and families work then picked up by a team of volunteers. Expenditure on resources to support our ministries continued throughout 2022. It is the intention of the PCC to recruit a Children and families ministry lead to continue our ministry in this area.

Overall, expenditure exceeded income by £51,061 however excluding expenditure on St Andrew’s extension and the one-off tree surgery cost, a deficit of £8,115 was recorded on ordinary activities.

Investments

The PCC holds a mix of cash deposits and investment funds.

Investment values decreased (down £120,636) for the year to 31 December 2022, reversing gains in 2021. The PCC have elected to invest ethically through CCLA’s Church of England funds.

17

Horsell Parochial Church Council Financial Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022

Most companies in the stock market suffered falling share prices for 2022. Companies with rising share prices were mainly in sectors outside our ethical appetite, notably in the oil and gas sector.

Risk Management

There is a robust structure of various sub-committees reporting to the PCC and independent financial management. The PCC reviews its risk register at least annually and, having given consideration to the major risks to which the PCC is exposed, are satisfied that systems and procedures are established in order to manage those risks.

Reserves Policy

It is the long term policy of the PCC for annual income to cover annual budgeted expenditure. The PCC have accrued reserves from investment gains and are utilising these funds to support growth of our church over the short to medium term.

Legacies are excluded from the annual budgeted income.

The PCC’s policy on reserves is to have sufficient in order to fund known future expenditure with an appropriate contingency.

The unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2022 were £181,868.

Related Charities

Parish Institute - The Trustees of the Parish Institute are the Incumbent of St Mary’s and the Bishop of Winchester. The PCC assists the Incumbent in carrying out their role. There were no financial transactions between the Parish Institute and the PCC during 2022.

Structure of the Financial Statements

The PCC accounts consist of the following including comparative figures for the previous year:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with statutory requirements, the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2015 (SORP) and the Church Accounting Regulations.

This report is on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 which are set out on pages 21 to 30 and is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’) and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’).

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Church Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Church Trustees consider that an audit is not required as set out in Section 144(2) of the Act and Regulations and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission and as contained in the Church guidance. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the regulations, as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations 2008 have not been met: or

  4. To which in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Signed :

David Weller DMA, ONC/HNC 6 March 2023

Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies have been applied to items which are considered material to the PCC’s financial statements.

a) Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations, applicable accounting standards, and the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting by Charities. The financial statements have also been prepared under the historical cost accounting rules, modified to include the revaluation of property for the use of the PCC and listed investments, at market value.

b) Funds Unrestricted general funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC. Unrestricted designated funds are funds that the PCC has set aside for a particular purpose. Restricted funds are funds that have been given for a particular purpose and cannot be used for any other purpose. Endowment Funds are funds where a capital sum has been given which the PCC must invest and use the income for a particular purpose.

c) Transactions included The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include financial information relating to groups within the Church that are affiliated to another body.

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its entitlement and the likely amount due.

Funds raised by social events are accounted for gross. Income from investments

Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable and gross where tax is recoverable.

f) Revaluation of investments

Gains or losses on revaluation of investments and property at the 31st December are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as unrealised .

g) Fixed Assets

25

Horsell Parochial Church Council Financial Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022

i) Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011.

ii) No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. Expenditure on the maintenance of consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings is shown in the SOFA as expenditure during the year.

iii) Other land and buildings

Property for the use of the PCC for its own purposes is normally valued at cost less depreciation, and this is the basis of the valuation of the Parish Office which was fully depreciated in 2007. The Clergy house at 6 Waldens Park Road was valued by Waterfall, Barclay and Durrant in April 2014 for £700,000. It will be revalued when the PCC deem appropriate. No depreciation is charged against this property, as the PCC agreed at their meeting on 18th November 1997, that it would be more appropriate to show this property at valuation. Expenditure on maintenance or improvements of the clergy house is written off as incurred.

iv) Reordering building work, other fixtures, fittings and office equipment

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £10,000 or less are written off in the period in which the asset is acquired.

v) Listed investments

Listed investments are valued annually by the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England (CBF) on 31[st] December.

h) Current Assets

Debtors are comprised of amounts owing to the PCC at 31[st] December. Deposits relate to sums held on deposit with the CBF.

i) Current Liabilities

Creditors relate to sums owed by the PCC at 31[st] December. These include payments in respect of suppliers of goods and services to the 31[st] December for which accounts had not been received at that date and certain claims for reimbursement of costs up to the year end.

Staff Numbers and Costs

The PCC employed a Children & Families worker between October 2015 and March 2022. The cost is including within children's work under the Financial Statement Notes.

Clergy are employed by the diocese. The PCC paid quota payments of £93,558 (2020 £90,045) to cover all diocesan costs on a formula basis. Others providing services to the PCC on a part-time, self-employed basis are a Parish Administrator.

Considerable voluntary assistance was given to the PCC during the year, in particular by readers, organists & musicians, financial, accountancy and independent examination, PCC sub-committee administration, church and churchyard maintenance for which the PCC is extremely grateful. It is not possible to financially quantify the value of this work. Expenses were reimbursed to the vicar and Children's & Families worker for the usual ministry working expenses. Other PCC members were reimbursed for expenses that would otherwise have been incurred direct by the PCC. No employee received employee benefits over £60,000.

Horsell Parochial Church Council Financial Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022

Notes to the funds

Unrestricted general funds

This is the main reserve of the PCC. The general surplus or deficit from the Statement of Financial Activities is transferred to this fund at the end of each year. Part of the general fund is invested in CBF investment accounts and a further part in a deposit account.

Designated Funds

A Designated fund for Church Growth was created in 2014 to receive monies from the net rental of 6 Waldens Park Road. This fund is used to promote Church Growth in the coming years.

A designated fund for the organ was created in 2018 to receive donations from organ concerts and is used to cover maintenance costs of the organ.

£75,000 was set aside in 2018 as seed money for a potential extension to St Andrew's Room. A further £400,000 was added to the fund in 2021 from Daphne McConnell’s legacy. £35,129 has been spent to date for architectural plans, surveys and costings.

Endowment Funds

In accordance with the directions given by Guildford Diocesan Board of Finance all Endowment funds have been re-designated as Restricted funds. In order to accommodate this, a new Restricted Fund called Restricted-Endowment was created and all Endowment monies transferred to this fund.

Two graveyard trusts were closed in 2022 to meet the costs of remedial work required prior to closing the churchyard to new burials and transferring maintenance responsibility to Woking Borough Council. £15,572 was spent in 2022 with the balance of £13,318 held towards further works required in 2023.

Restricted funds

A Restricted fund, Family Worker, was created in 2014 to receive donations for funding the Children and Families Worker.

Capital endowment funds

In accordance with the directions given by Guildford Diocesan Board of Finance all Endowment funds have been re-designated as Restricted funds. In order to accommodate this, a new Restricted Fund called Restricted-Endowment was created and all Endowment monies transferred to this fund.

Churchyard. The churchyard is expected to become full and be closed to new burials in the near future, at which point maintenance will transfer to Woking Borough Council. With future maintenance costs likely to be lower, six small bequests were wound up in 2017 with the capital used for minor repairs.

Two further bequests were closed in 2022 to meet the costs of remedial work required prior to closing the churchyard to new burials and transferring maintenance responsibility to Woking Borough Council. £15,572 was spent in 2022 with the balance of £13,318 held towards further works required in 2023.

One final bequest with a balance of less than £1,000 remains. The PCC are required to pay the fund over to the RSPCA upon winding up the bequest.

St Andrew’s Recoupment Fund – In 2008 a new order was made by the Charity Commission creating a permanent endowment the income from which is allocated to the general funds of the PCC. This fund is now known as St Andrew’s Recoupment Fund.

In 1965 a fund known as “the St Andrew’s Mission Church Fund” was created from the sale of donated land. After further research, this fund was reclassified as restricted capital fund.

Current assets for charity use - These funds represent the value to the PCC of functional assets held by the PCC. These consist of a new photocopier purchased in 2018.
