## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Situation** 

The Parish Church of St Mary of Charity (SMoC) is situated in Faversham. It is part of the Diocese of Canterbury within the Church of England.  The correspondence address of the PCC is 16 Newton Road, Faversham, Kent. ME13 8DY. ` 

## **Constitution** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a registered Charity under the name The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary of Charity Faversham Kent, number 1128854 

The constitution of the charity is embedded in the Canon Law of the Church of England and other Acts of Parliament. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment  of PCC members** 

Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 

(NB -the PCC elects the Treasurer and Secretary). During the year and to the date this report was approved the members of the PCC were those listed on Page 2 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Standing Committee, which is established by law and empowered to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings subject to any directions given by the Council. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

St Mary of Charity's PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the vicar in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.  It also has maintenance responsibility for the church building. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Church Attendance** 

The Church Electoral Roll is kept under continuous review, with 107 parishioners on the roll at 31 December 2022. This is a net Increase of 1 more than at the previous year end. Usual Sunday Attendance is 55 adults, the figures for special services, such as Easter, Christmas and Harvest (which considerably enhance these Sunday figures) are recorded separately. 

## **Review of the year** 

Following two years of the pandemic 2022 has brought a year when things have gradually got back to normal. church services have returned to the original pattern. Church finances were badly effected by the pandemic and early in 2022 the PCC formed a committee with the aim of raising additional funds. This proved fairly successful with the Electric Vehicle show in May and the receipt of a substantial grant to cover our insurance costs and a number of other Fundraising activities including funds raised from a number of concerts. We also received a substantial legacy of over £36,000 which greatly assisted in boosting our finances. The PCC also agreed to have a credit card machine on permanent display in the church in order that occasional visitors could make a contribution to the upkeep of the church fabric. 

The Canterbury Diocese decided to reduce the parish Share in 2022 and in return they wanted a commitment that all parishes would meet their commitment which we were able to do. The payment which the PCC pays monthly contributes to clergy and central costs. Ministry was funded largely from the regular giving and collections plus fees from funerals and five weddings which took place in the church during 2022 

Central to our activities is that we maintain an ''open church'' policy and encourage mission through heritage, tourism and community outreach. The Church is a community hub for holding meetings, such as GEM awards as well as being a means to raise funds to contribute to the upkeep of the fabric of the church . Examples include a number of concerts organised by outside bodies and charities and events being held in the church, plus the regular concerts run by our new Director of Music Ben Saul, on a Saturday. 

We are pleased to report the completion of the refurbishment and and installation of two new bells and the restoration of the clock and chimes. This was celebrated by a service of dedication attended by the Bishop of Dover. The PCC is pleased to say that the project came in well within the budget and the balance of the fund set aside will greatly assist in bolstering the church finances. The PCC would like to thank all those involved in the project whether it be the grant providers, the contractors or all the volunteer's that worked on the project since its inception. 

We previously reported that £50,000 had been set aside for the next major project the kitchen and toilets, this has been enhanced in 2022 by further donations. Progress has been slow but we now have drawings and initial costings and a faculty will soon be applied for  to enable grants to be obtained to cover the costs which will be in excess of £100,000

**TRUSTEE'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Review of Year** _**(continued)**_ 

Mission has continued around the Benefice during 2022 using the GEM 72 mobile imitative. In the latter part of 2022 GEM 72 became a separate Charity with Trustees drawn from across the Benefice. A new service aimed at young people called I wonder has began for the Benefice based at Davington Church, with assistance from members of the coaggregation. St Mary of Charity PCC continued to be responsible for the oversight of the Benefice administration. The office moving to St Mary of Charity primary school during the year. 

The PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant  community it is. 

## **Diocesan and Deanery Synod** 

Three Members of the PCC should sit on the Deanery Synod, each triennium. One of our members is: Chairing the Diocesan House of Laity, on Archbishops Council and Lay Chair of Deanery This provides the PCC with important links between the parish and the wider structure of our Diocese. 

## **Financial Review** 

The attached accounts show an unrestricted surplus for the year of £32,188 (2021- deficit £12,178) the figures included income from a legacy of £36,504 which if excluded would result in a small deficit it is hoped that in 2023 we can build on the fundraising projects of 2022 and we can have a sustainable future without the reliance on legacies. 

The Designated reserves have been placed on the interest bearing accounts where we are beginning to see rates return to historically normal levels. These projects in particular kitchen and toilets are going to take a number of years to complete, during this period the PCC will endeavour to maximise interest but ensuring that all funds are protected by HM Government guarantees. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The PCC is still of the same opinion in so far as we should aim to have unrestricted reserves of a minimum of 6 months expenditure, at the current time we have just met this target which we hope to maintain. 

## **Plans for the future** 

With things returning to normal PCC will continue to meet regularly and look for ways of increasing our income and mission in hoping that we may maintain as a benefice the same level of clergy that we currently have and develop our mission in the community and congregation. The PCC is looking forward to proceeding with the Kitchen and Toilets project. and brining this to fruition during the next few years

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY OF CHARITY FAVERSHAM** 

I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 13. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The Church's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Church's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with applicable directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **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: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act. 

have not been met; or 

2 

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of` FRS102. 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 PCC's and with the Regulations '' true and fair view' provisions. 

The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements 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. 

## **Incoming resources** 

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 amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. Donated services are included at the value to the PCC where this can be quantified. 

## **Resources expended** 

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.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the PCC and include the independent examiners fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the PCC. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011.

## **8 Governance Costs** 

The Accounts are held on a series of dedicated spreadsheets. 

As our income is below £250,000 we do not need to engage an Independent Examiner who has a practicing certificate.We are therefore able to use the services of an Honorary Independent Examiner. 

## **9 Staff Costs** 

The PCC employs a part time admistrator, these cost are shared with other parishes in the Benefice of Faversham. The cost shown in the accounts is net of the other parishes contributions. 

There were no employee benefits to key management personnel in the previous or current year. 

## **10 Related Parties** 

The Vicar and Churchwardens operate a separate bank account to receive income from various legacies and sundry items given over many years to be administered by the Vicar and Churchwardens as opposed to PCC. The capital fund from which income is derived is invested in ten separate CBF Church of England Income Units totalling 1,714 (2021 - 1,714) and the market value at 31 December 2022 was £ 35,413 (2021 £40,323). The bank balance was £4,588 (2021 £3,535) The PCC does not have control over this account. The income has not needed to be spent on the churchyard since Swale Borough Council took over the maintenance although it is available for any additional work required at Vicar and Churchwardens discretion. 

A small immaterial portion of the expenses paid to the Vicar may have related to his services as Chairman of the PCC
