Church Attendance

As of 31 December 2021, there were 232 members on the electoral roll of the parish. At the end of 2021 we had over 209 adults and 39 children in our worshipping community in church and online, though the figure online continues to be hard to assess accurately, as one ‘watch’ on Facebook often involves more than one person watching.

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we had 267 attendees in person at our outdoor and indoor services, although many more attended through Zoom and Facebook. There were 21 children baptised; 9 wedding services held; 3 wedding blessings; and 26 funeral services took place either in our churches or at a crematorium. All our attendance figures have been affected badly by ongoing outbreaks of Covid variants, concerns about spreading infections and government requirements to self-isolate for a set period of time when infected.

Review of the Year

The challenges of the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic continued to have a huge impact on attendance at services and the range of church activities that we have been able to undertake over the past 12 months.

Services continued in person using alternate pews and requesting the wearing of face masks to limit infections, with the 9.30am and Evensong being live streamed though Zoom, Facebook and YouTube, to reach out to those who wanted to join worship from a distance or their own homes. Morning Prayer continued online on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, gathering a small regular congregation from Yorkshire to Devon, as well as Crondall and Ewshot. We decided that the Bible Exploration group and other meetings could take place in All Saints or the Church Rooms, making the most of their capacity for social distancing and ventilation .

We have been really blessed by the enthusiastic band of musicians who help lead our worship- the All Saints Choir, the small Evensong Choir, the ad hoc S @ 4 Singers, Jonathan Lattey, Nick Wilmer and Natalia Webb on the organ. Our worship was enhanced by our talented flower arrangers, led by Julie Binks in All Saints and Jennifer Kelly and Mary Cranstone in St Mary’s. The All Saints Bellringers have also called us to worship in varying numbers.

Special celebration services were held in both churches throughout the year, making sure attendees were socially distanced and wearing a mask, but attendance fluctuated according to the various Covid waves and nervousness among some groups about mixing with others . We held Remembrance Day services in church and online and our All Souls Service was well attended, but in December we faced another wave of infections, so once again Christmas services took place inside and outside. Our Living Nativity was taken around the roads in Crondall on three trucks, with family groups taking on roles so that we didn’t gather large numbers in All Saints, though we did host a Christmas Tree Festival there, making sure that attendees kept their distance from each other.

Communion services were held monthly at Clare Park, with all the necessary safety precautions in place, but unfortunately Hillbrow and Hill House did not gather their residents together, so no communal services were held. Individual visits happened when requested, and home communions continued with great care.

Weekly service readings, the reflection and prayers were distributed electronically each week, and copies have been delivered by hand for those members of the congregation without internet access. These were also posted on the ASSM website which was updated regularly. The church’s Facebook page has also helped gather people together, connecting group members and hosting service recordings and sharing a Daily Vicarage Reflection and Prayer, which were also distributed to the housebound to keep them in touch with church life and outreach.

Our Informal 4pm services continued to reach out to children and young families, and those seeking a more informal approach to praise and prayer, while keeping socially distanced. The youngsters have been keen to take part, reading the lesson and prayers each week, and helping set up and serve tea after each service. I continued to lead weekly assemblies in Crondall Primary School and half termly assemblies at St Nicholas School, mainly in person but live-streamed when required, and led a number of school workshops, but visits to All Saints Church by school or uniformed groups were not allowed. Mums and carers and their charges found gathering for Music and Fun in All Saints an invaluable support during these most testing of times. Croft Café continued to flourish over the year, supported by their team of competent bakers and servers. Huge thanks once again to everyone who has worked so hard to prepare coffee and tea, bake cakes, serve and clear up. The café has been really appreciated across our communities and beyond, as has the Village Pump and Singing for Fun, which have managed to meet once again, but in smaller groups at first. The support they offer has been really important to so many of our older residents.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the many volunteers who worked tirelessly to keep church worship and outreach active and relevant through these challenging times. Revd Sue Lattey continued to support Sunday morning worship in her role of SSM Curate, and we were delighted to welcome Revd Lucy Roose as Trainee SSM Curate in her first year of training. The Churchwardens worked tirelessly to support church life and outreach, and the PCC continued to oversee the general running of parish affairs. Henry Reece took on the demanding role of PCC Treasurer in April 2021 so very many thanks to him as well.

Unfortunately Gail Brown, our verger at All Saints, had to step back from this role in August 2021. Enormous thanks for all that she has done for our church community for a very long time. Colin Bryant moved away in October, after serving our church communities as Preacher, PCC member, Deanery Synod representative and stand in Verger over many years. Well-deserved thanks to him for all he has done for us. We welcomed Jennie Jackson as Parish Administrator when Izzy Harrison Butler mover on to pastures new. Huge thanks for all that she has done for our parish. Alison Thomas continued to oversee safeguarding in the parish, and Vicky Assael continued in her role as Electoral Roll Officer. It was good to have the Parish Magazine back in circulation. We are very blessed to have an efficient team of editors who gather information about village life and events that enhance the lives of us all.

The year 2021 has been another challenging one with restriction changes and waves of Covid threatening to undermine what we have established in the past. We have worked hard to keep our Christian faith relevant and accessible amid all the difficulties. We look forward to calmer times ahead. As always, there is much to celebrate as well as do. Thank you all who have given so much time and energy to our mission and outreach.

Revd Tara Hellings Vicar

Fabric Report for All Saints Church, Crondall

The major project in the Church this year was the installation of welcoming lights as you enter by the North Porch and sensors to light the Chancel thereafter. These are working well and we are grateful for the donation for the installation.

The new Audio Visual streaming system installed in the Autumn of 2020 is working well. It is used three times each week – for Sunday services; for live streaming on Facebook; and on YouTube. Other selected services have been broadcast using YouTube. This can also be used and hired for weddings and other services, if required. We have enhanced the audio aspect of the Zoom transmissions by buying a Jabber microphone for use with the tablet.

We have received the outline planning approval from Hart District Council (HDC) for the addition of a new entrance at the west end complete with washrooms and additional storage. Full working plans and specifications are currently being produced for submission to HDC and the Diocese for our faculty application.

The very tall and large 150-year-old Wellingtonia tree was felled by a professional contractor appointed by HDC in August 2021. It had succumbed to the droughts of 2019 and 2020, as had many similar trees in this area. The timber was all removed by the contractor except for two trunk sections, which were left to us to make benches or small tables and craft items for sale to support the Church.

There have been two churchyard working parties during the year; a dozen or so volunteers, attended the first in March and again in October. A monthly group of six or more meet on the first Monday morning of each month and the resultant condition and appearance of the churchyard continues to improve.

Fabric Report for St Mary’s Church, Ewshot

2018 Quinquennial Inspection : The report of the Quinquennial inspection in August 2018 was received in May 2019. The only issue of immediate concern (within one year) was the roof, whereby a combination of shading and overhanging branches had resulted in moss growth and fallen debris. To help determine the best way to protect the roof from shading and overhanging branches, the Tree Officer at Hart District Council had been contacted for advice. He visited in October 2019 and conducted an inspection of all trees in the vicinity of the church. His report is still awaited, and no work will be planned until it is received.

Another window (W1 on the north side of the church) was removed, rebuilt, and refitted (OctoberDecember), again funded by the Gidley-Kitchin legacy.

Churchyard – Management : Hart District Council continued to keep the hedges on the west side of the churchyard in good order. Several working parties were held in the autumn and winter months to trim the hedges on the other boundaries and to clear fallen leaves and branches from the churchyard.

Property Register : In January 2022 the Churchwardens checked the ‘fixtures and fittings’ and other contents of St Mary’s Church against the Church Property Register. Everything was found to be in order.

Deanery Synod

Farnham Deanery Synod had planned to meet on four occasions in 2021 (January, April, July and November), but the pandemic continued to disrupt normal routines and only the third and fourth meetings actually took place.

The first meeting of the year was held at the Area Dean’s church (St Mary’s in Frensham) on Saturday 24 July, preceded by a socially-distanced communion service, led by the Area Dean. Looking outwards at the wider church, the meeting noted:

Looking internally, the meeting discussed the Deanery website and the Deanery Leadership Team:

But the most important topic for discussion was the impact of the pandemic on the parishes. Synod members from the various benefices described the negative and positive (yes, there were positive) effects on their congregations and communities:

Page 5

All Saints Church, Crondall and St Mary’s Church, Ewshot Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

One question that emerged was what to do for on-line contacts once normality returns.

The second meeting was held at St Alban’s Church in Hindhead on Thursday 4 November. The first topic was the Archbishop of Canterbury’s visit to the Diocese in September, with a series of events planned to cover different angles and appeal to different audiences. The Archbishop used fresh material each time, but was not able to cover all the questions raised.

Then the Synod discussed the pandemic and various members gave an update on its continuing impact on parish life:

The meeting was informed that the new Deanery website was now sufficiently advanced to be useful and a link would be provided to all the parishes. A draft strategy programme or framework had been prepared by the Deanery Strategy Team and was circulated to the synod members. It covers the 2022-2023 timeframe.

Looking forward, a full programme of four meetings, with dates selected to match Diocesan Synod meetings, was announced.

Stewardship Review

Fortunately, most of our donors have now signed up to the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). This means that their donations have continued throughout the past year uninterrupted. Thank you to those who have increased their donations and those who have now signed to allow the index linked annual increase.

It would be a great help if parishioners who are committed, either to standing orders or weekly envelopes, were to join the PGS and make our monthly income easier to handle, as well as regular. Although we have had new joiners in the last year our number has reduced due to parishioners either dying or moving into care homes.

Sometimes I am asked what I would consider an appropriate donation per annum to the church. I always say you should give what you feel you can afford. However, this is occasionally translated as less than the price of a cup of coffee per week.

Page 6

All Saints Church, Crondall and St Mary’s Church, Ewshot Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

The following approximate and rounded figures should be of help. We have 230 parishioners on the Electoral Roll and the cost of running the church is £134,000. This is £582 per annum per parishioner or £48 per month. If you are Gift Aided then £38 per month would suffice. In 2021 we had about 100 donors on PGS giving, in total £54,866 which means about £45 per month each. Gift Aid brought the total to £68,193. This represents more than half enrolled parishioners as many payments are from couples.

The Church of England's policy is to encourage its members to give 5% of their income to and through the Church, and a second 5% to other causes and organisations that build God's kingdom.

In London average planned weekly donations are £25.20 (£1310 pa) but, in Lincoln Diocese, at the bottom of the scale it is £8.10 (£421pa). The national average in 2020 was £14.80.

We have had a number of events such as weddings, baptisms and funerals, where participants fully appreciate the continued existence of our Grade 1 listed church, and have been generous. We have also benefitted from some small legacies. Charitable legacies are made from gross estates and, therefore, not subject to inheritance tax.

The Croft Café, whilst performing a useful social service, has also made a profit, helping to cover any shortfall there may otherwise be in our income. It has also helped to pay for major repair and improvement work to the Church Rooms.

All parishioners should reflect from time to time on the exceptional ministry of our two churches and consider committing to a regular donation. Thank you, as always, to those who have supported our churches throughout the past year.

Dick Wilkinson Planned Giving Secretary

Safeguarding in the Parish

The PCC is committed to ensuring that we support, nurture, protect and safeguard all of our church community, especially the young and vulnerable. We act within current legislation, guidance and national frameworks as well as the Church of England Safeguarding Policy “Promoting a Safer Church”. This, together with Diocesan Safeguarding procedures, can all be found on the Diocesan website. The Parish Safeguarding Policy is updated and agreed by the PCC annually. A copy can be found in the parish office and is also displayed in both All Saints and St Mary’s Churches.

All ordained and lay ministers, paid workers and volunteers with children, young people and vulnerable adults are recruited according to Diocesan safe recruiting procedures and all necessary checks are made including DBS where appropriate. There are currently 80 regular volunteers on our register working in various roles within the Parish from reading in church to helping in the Croft Café. We continue to provide supervision, support and training so that they can undertake their roles effectively. The training programme has remained largely online, and this has made accessing it easier for most people.

All Saints Church, Crondall and St Mary’s Church, Ewshot Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

All Church Groups are suitably insured and have a full risk assessment and this is held in the parish office. These are reviewed every three years. that hire Church facilities are required to complete a hire agreement that ensures that they adhere to Diocesan safeguarding policies.

The Parish continues to provide live and recorded streaming of services for those who find it difficult to attend in person. Full safeguarding risk assessments have been carried out and all recordings are done within safeguarding guidelines to protect vulnerable members of the congregation.

All Parish Safeguarding activity is now recorded on the Church of England Parish Dashboard. This ensures that policies and procedures are continuously kept up to date and provides an action plan for the PCC in order to complete any outstanding issues. Safeguarding is a standing item on the agenda at all PCC meetings and the Safeguarding Officer provides a report that is distributed prior to the meeting.

The PCC has re-appointed Alison Thomas as the Parish Safeguarding Officer to ensure that their policies and procedures are followed. She and Revd Tara Hellings are both trained to validate DBS documentation.

Financial Review

Income and Endowments

In 2021, total income amounted to £148,061, representing a healthy increase from the £137,465 in 2020. One of the main drivers of the increase was the higher number of weddings as the backlog created by lockdown was worked through. Service fees and special collections provided £5,500 and £16,000 respectively vs £2,500 and £13,000 from the year before. The Parish Magazine also had an excellent resurgence last year after the lockdown hiatus, raising approximately £4,500 after costs through subscriptions and advertising (vs £1,500 in 2020), and the Croft Café continued to thrive, bringing in an impressive £7,000 after costs. Investment income rose from £6,811 in 2020 to £7,349 in 2021.

Expenditure

All expenditure continues to be scrutinised and controlled with the objective of operating as cost efficiently as possible. Unrestricted expenditure was £134,727 (2020: £115,597). The main drivers of the increase in costs were the resumption of activities post Covid when clearly church running costs, parish magazine and café costs rose along with the respective incomes from those activities. Significant movements in the 2021 balance sheet were the increase in the bank balance (due to the year’s surplus), and a rise in the value of investments particularly in the M&G investment fund, with an unrealized gain of £23,000 at year end (2020: £12,000 loss).

Reserves Policy

It has been the policy and aim of the PCC to build sufficient reserves of unrestricted funds to meet six months' normal expenditure in that category to cover possible emergencies. The balance on unrestricted funds, which are not designated for specific purposes, remains more than sufficient to cover normal expenditure for six months.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair” provisions, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

Funds

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only the income arising from the investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. Designated funds are those designated by the PCC for a specific purpose.

Income

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable. All other income is recognised when it is received. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for another mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property listed in the Church inventories.

There is insufficient cost information available on items acquired prior to 2000, so such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items costing more than £1000, which have been acquired subsequently, are capitalised and depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Individual items of equipment used within the Church premises with a purchase price of £1000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the PCC

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 17, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of The Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

Respective Responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner

As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility:

Basis of this Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.

The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion of the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

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