THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WALTON ON THAMES PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 4aa The Parochial Church Council present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Parochial Church Council's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)”.

Objectives and activities

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It has responsibility for St. Mary’s Church, St John’s Church and Hall, St. Mary’s Church Hall, the properties in Egmont Road and Misty’s Field and the overview of the Vicarage.

The PCC, through its officers and working groups, manages the affairs of the churches and the following pages set out this work in detail. In common with previous years, the ministry of our parish focuses principally on worship, prayer, mission, fellowship, discipleship and active involvement in the local community.

The aims and activities of the Charity can be summed up as:

  1. Regular public worship, open to all. 2. Promoting the whole mission of the Church, through outreach work in the parish and the provision of activities for parents and toddlers, children and young people and a number of other special need groups.

  2. Pastoral work including the visiting of the sick and bereaved. 4. Teaching of the Christian faith through sermons, courses and small groups. 5. Taking of religious assemblies in schools. 6. The provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation.

  3. Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas.

During the year these aims and activities were reflected in a wide range of ministry and mission across the Parish. Under Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, the PCC must have regard to any Charity Commission guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which such guidance is relevant. The PCC acknowledge the statutory requirement to report on the Charity’s public benefit and they confirm that they have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit where relevant to matters to which the guidance relates.

Vision

We continued following the vision, “Taking our next steps towards (i) deeper faith in Christ, (ii) welcome and belonging and (iii) shining God’s light”.

2021 was a year that continued to be significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We continued to offer services via YouTube and Zoom, as well as in-person, when permitted. During the year, when we could meet in person, the rules for worship varied between no singing, singing with masks on and singing without masks.

Personnel

Revd Caroline Merrick continues to serve the Parish in many wonderful ways as a volunteer (non-stipendiary) 4 days a week alongside her job as a Hand Physiotherapist. During the year, she completed her curacy and is now an Assistant Minister. Revd Vlada Rakin was priested in July, serving in the Parish as able alongside his work as a full-time Hospice Chaplain.

At the end of the summer the Parish Administrator, Becky Warner, resigned her position and Mrs Sam Harrison was appointed to the role. The Pastoral Assistants continued to support many people in the parish by keeping in touch, through caring phone calls and visits, as permitted and requested. This ministry is greatly appreciated and valued across the Parish.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WALTON ON THAMES PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and performance

Worshipping Congregations During the year, we continued with the pattern of weekly services at St. Mary's of Holy Communion at 9.00am, which was live streamed, Evening Praise on-line on Zoom at 7.30pm and a weekly 10.15am All-Age service on Zoom. This has continued to attract new families throughout the year and, in September, this moved to being both in person in St. Mary’s Hall, with restricted numbers and also on Zoom. At St. John’s services were held fortnightly for most of the year.

Various other initiatives continued on-line during the year, including many weeks of Daily Reflections, Life groups, Alpha, the Prayer Course, the Bible Course and the Servant Course.

Music

When singing at in-person services was permitted, we were grateful to Carol Abson and Berenice Page for playing and to Kate Boyd, who regularly sang and whose beautiful singing enhanced our worship. In the last quarter of the year, we hired an organist once a month to play for services.

James Scott has played at the All Age service, accompanied by his daughter and also at the Evening Praise services which has been a huge blessing.

Festivals and Special Services

For the annual ANZAC service at the end of April, we welcomed Mr. Bede Corry, the High Commissioner for New Zealand and representatives from the New Zealand and Australian Defence Forces and well as local civic dignitaries, representatives of other organisations and local people. Because of Covid restrictions, during the service, we listened to the singing of hymns, but the congregation was not allowed to sing and, outside, after the service, wreaths were laid but a small group of only 5 people were permitted to attend.

On Remembrance Sunday in November, a Churches together service and Act of Remembrance took place at the War Memorial in Walton-on-Thames. Again, it was a huge success and greatly appreciated by those who attended. The hard work of Joanna Gordon, Melvyn Mills and Simon Mason was greatly appreciated.

On Easter Sunday morning, respecting Covid restrictions, we were limited to but able to greatly enjoy a Sunrise Service which was held in the garden at St. John’s Church.

For our Christmas services, late Covid restrictions meant we had to curtail some of our planned December services. We were able to hold the Christingle services and the Carol Service but a new Family Carol Service was live- streamed and the very popular Christmas Eve nativity service was pre-recorded.

Children and Youth

Our ministry to families, youth and children remains central to the ministry of the Parish, with a focus on discipleship for the whole family. All aspects of ministry have been provided on a flexible basis using a hybrid of on-line and in-person groups and services.

Toddlers’ Praise services started the year on Zoom and through the year moved to Zoom and in person with restricted numbers to being fully in person. In April 2021, we advertised for a Youth Minister for 20 hours per week to pick up the work Alex Oehring was leading. Church member, Sarah Dunn offered 12 hours per week and she started this new role in May.

There has been a regular Youth group Bible study on Monday nights, called ‘The Way’ and a monthly Sunday evening games and fun “The Life”. The Young people lead an evening service in November and took part in the on-line Family Carol service in December.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM)

The Annual Vestry and Church meeting was held at the end of April on Zoom. Mr David Henderson and Mr Ryan van der Riet were voted in as Churchwardens.

Alpha and Confirmations

With the departure of John Muggleton to support his daughter and son-in-law, Rev Jonny Blair took over responsibility for running Alpha. Alpha courses were run on Tuesday evenings over Zoom starting in both January and September.

Those attending Alpha found it a wonderful, faith giving and faith encouraging course and there are some marvellous stories of lives wonderfully changed by the grace and power of God.

A Confirmation service with Bishop Jo Bailey Wells was held at St. Mary’s at the end of November, with 5 people from the Parish being confirmed.

Other

The Servant Course ran during the year, being held over Zoom. It is greatly enjoyed and valued by all who attend.

Outreach

The popular annual, week long Holiday Club which has been held in August for many years, was again held this year. It faced many challenges of Covid restrictions but was expertly and successfully run and managed by Amy Maddocks with help from many others. It again proved to be very popular with primary school aged children.

At the start of the year, regular School assemblies continued to being recorded for schools before, in the Autumn term, they could be presented in-person.

Foodbank

This operates under the umbrella of the Trussell Trust and in collaboration with St Peter’s, Hersham and the Walton-on-Thames Charity. It continues to provide a very valuable service to those in need in the local community. There continued to be significant demand for and use of Foodbank in the challenging circumstances of 2021. Rev JonnyBlair joined the Management Committee during the year.

Foodbank has continued to operate from St. John’s Church, which is its main distribution centre.

Walton Churches Together

The Vicars continue to work with other Church leaders to encourage the Churches in Walton-on-Thames to pray, worship and work together more. Opportunities to do things together in 2021 were strictly limited. The popular outdoor Service and Act of Remembrance in November was again well attended.

Church Attendance

The numbers for Church attendance do not relate to previous years because of the Covid-19 pandemic. At different times in the year there were different capacity restrictions for Church services and, for most of the year, even when in-person services could be held, singing was not permitted.

During the year, at different times and with differing capacities, Baptisms could again be held. There were no weddings in the year. We conducted 27 (2020: 29) funerals in the year, nine of which included a service in Church.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Fabric Report

St. Mary's Church

St Mary’s has been maintained in a good condition, enabling worship to continue inside as it has done for many hundreds of years. The maintenance to the fabric of the church continues to be funded by grants from the Church Fund Trust.

We are grateful to our Tower Captain, David Miseldine and his team of volunteers who have continued to maintain the inside of the tower and the bells.

Internet access into St. Mary’s Church was finally made in early February 2021. This has resulted in the parish being able to live stream and record services which has resulted in more people being able to access services whilst the pandemic continued.

In 2020 with the restrictions on the numbers of people who could gather in the church, the PCC obtained a Temporary Minor Removal Order to remove the pews in the south aisle so that an event could be staged which was Covid Secure and replace the Advent Walk. This was approved by the Archdeacon and ‘Encounter Christmas’ used the space as part of series of tableaux telling the Christmas Story. The intention was to reinstate the pews in early January 2021 but this was delayed due to the third lockdown and they were finally re' installed in April.

St. Mary’s Churchyard

The flower beds and surrounding areas are being maintained to a high standard by a working group to whom we are very grateful. Work took place to maintain several of the trees and to remove seedlings. The removal of a dying cherry tree and three holly trees has opened up the front vista to the church.

St. John’s Church

The church and its grounds are in good condition.

Elmbridge Borough Council Grants

From their CIL fund EBC have provided the parish with grants to extend the kitchens at St. Mary’s Church Hall and at St. John’s Church. These works are in the planning stages and will be completed in the next three years. These improvements will allow for a greater range of uses of both premises by and for the communities we serve.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial review

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations together with applicable Accounting Standards and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.

Covid-19 continued to impact on the Parish’s activities and finances, with reduced hall hire income an example of how we have been affected. However, giving continued across a number of different methods and platforms, meaning we have seen an increase of £28,982 in the year. This was partly driven by a campaign in late spring, galvanising support and demonstrating the commitment of our Church members.

Overall, our income during 2021 increased to £277,405 (2020: £245,155). In addition to the increased giving, two properties owned by the PCC were able to be rented out, generating £22,000. Further ‘one-off ‘income was generated in the form of fundraising of £6,000. Grants received from the Church Fund Trust for the repair and maintenance of our churches and churchyards amounted to £32,534 (2020: £33,498). Expenditure was managed as closely as possible throughout the year to ensure that our cost base remained low.

The unrestricted funds of the charity, which reflects our main income and expenditure, ended the year with a surplus of £27,464. When non-recurring income is excluded it means that the Charity is broadly breaking even, the first time for ten years. As a result, additional income can now contribute to new activities and invest in the future of the Parish, rather than meeting existing costs.

Reserves Policy

Historically it is has been the PCC’s policy to maintain a cash balance in the Reserve Fund equating to approximately three months’ unrestricted payments. The year-end cash balance on the Unrestricted Fund, £28,814, is less than three months of general fund payments.

Risk Assessment

The Parochial Church Council has assessed the major risks to which the Parochial Church Council is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the maior risks.

Plans for future periods

We continue to look to our faithful God to lead us forward in faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and empower us by His Holy Spirit in worship, service, giving and proclaiming His name in word and deed.

Whilst the shape of what we do and how we do it in the immediate terms continues to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, we will continue to focus on living out the strategic priorities of our vision.

An aspect of Church life that will need to be further addressed in 2022, as we emerge from the pandemic, is the need for volunteers in all areas of Church life, including for ministry to children and to young people to care for and develop the growing youth group.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WALTON ON THAMES PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Emly Deanery Synod Report

During 2021 there were three meetings of the Synod, the first two were held by Zoom and the October Synod was held At St. Nicholas, Thames Ditton.

In the March meeting Nicholas Stuart who had been Lay Chair for ten years stood down and Brian Howell from Holy Trinity, Claygate was elected. The focus of the meeting was on the Church of England’s report “Living in Love and Faith” and was led by the Bishop of Dorking, Jo Wells. This was part of the various discussions taking place across the country regarding sexuality and the LBQT+ communities within our churches.

The second Synod was about ECO Church. The main subject for the Synod was a presentation by Alison Moulden who is the Guildford Diocese Environment Officer. She gave an outline about Eco-Church and how to become one as well as some examples of what is being achieved across the diocese. Janet Todd gave several examples of what was happening in our parish. From this meeting a Deanery ECO group has been formed to share ideas and best practice.

The focus for the final Synod of the year was on the recently published Church of England report 'From Lament to Action’ by a question and answer session between Revd. Andrew Cowie, Area Dean and Revd. Folli Olokose, the vicar of St. Mary’s, Oatlands who is also the Guildford Diocese’s Minority Ethnic Vocations Champion and a member of the Diocesan Racial Justice Focus Group.

Folli is of Nigerian descent and gave a moving and sobering account about how he and other ethnic minorities have been treated and are being treated both within the Church of England and within the community. The discussions which ensued highlighted that we need to move from being a tolerant society to one of being openly inclusive. It means a cultural shift for all of us and the onus is on the majority not the minority.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The Parish always works hard to comply with all GDPR requirements. It keeps records of the basic information supplied by members of the congregation. Typically, this includes names, addresses and church groups. Details of Planned Giving are kept separately and are confidential to designated members of the Parish Finance Team. None of this information is divulged to any outside individuals or organisations.

All the information is stored for use solely for administrative purposes within the parish in accordance with GDPR. Anyone with concerns about this is invited to contact the Parish Office. The Parish uses a software programme called ChurchSuite, which ensures GDPR compliance and is used as a Parish address book, registration for all children’s and young people’s groups, the Electoral Roll and other matters.

Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy

The PCC adheres to the Diocesan Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy and there were no issues to report during the year. All members of the PCC and those working with children and vulnerable adults are required to complete the necessary safeguarding training. Katharine Scott continues brilliantly in the role of Parish safeguarding officer for Children.

Thank you to Tessa Badcock who acted as safeguarding officer for Vulnerable Adults and a huge thank you also to two people who continued to provide magnificent service: Carol Collings as our DBS Validator and Julia Gorrie, our Safeguarding Administrator.

Charity information

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Walton on Thames is a charity established by the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).

Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Parochial Church Council's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The Parochial Church Council is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Parochial Church Council has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Parochial Church Council. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Parochial Church Council in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Parochial Church Council.

(Continued)

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Parochial Church Council has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

A liability is recognised when either a constructive or legal obligation is identified. Irrecoverable VAT is allocated to the same expenditure heading as the cost to which it relates.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land and buildings Impairment review Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% and 20% Straight Line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Fixed asset investments Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Parochial Church Council reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.10 Financial instruments The Parochial Church Council has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Parochial Church Council's balance sheet when the Parochial Church Council becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Parochial Church Council's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Parochial Church Council is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Parochial Church Council's accounting policies, the Parochial Church Council are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
