St James’ Church, Exeter – Annual Report for 2021
Background
St James’ Church is situated in Exeter and is part of the Diocese of Exeter within the Church of England. The address is: St James’ Church, Mount Pleasant Road, Exeter EX4 7AH.

The parochial church council (PCC) is registered with the Charity Commission (number 1128877).
St James’ PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church. Additionally, the PCC has maintenance responsibilities for the church buildings and grounds. Our strap line, “Sharing God’s Love through Worship, Fellowship and Service”, underpins all we aim to do.

Many of the normal activities of parish life did not take place in 2021, as a result of the restrictions imposed and precautions taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Substantive PCC Business in the Year
Churchwardens’ Report
2021 was dominated by the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which saw continued restrictions on all types of social activities including public worship. Our 2020 Annual Report documents the history of the pandemic from 23[rd ] March 2020, and its effect on St James’ Church. We take up the story from 6[th] December 2020 , when the 8.00am and 10.00am Sunday services resumed once again following the reclosure of church buildings on 2[nd] November 2020. A booking system for the 10.00am services then replaced the 3-weekly rota, and this continued until 25[th] July, St James’ Day . For us St James’ Day was a milestone, with the congregation singing the mass setting and a hymn for the first time in 16 months, “To God be the Glory” (albeit wearing facemasks!). Also, an icon of St James was presented to us by our Orthodox church friends. The booking system was no longer required, hymnbooks and kneelers were put back, and a more normal seating arrangement was put in place with one metre distancing between rows. In addition, coffee was served after the service in the hall, and there was a cake! As from 2[nd] August , we were no longer required to record the names of those attending the services for Track and Trace purposes, but it was not until 26[th] September that the chairs were finally returned to their usual position.
Our flagship Sunday 10.00am Parish Eucharist has not yet returned to pre-pandemic numbers, and the 8.00am Communion Service is small. As from 19[th] September , we have had Sunday evening services held on 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays of each month. During Holy Week 2021, on Wednesday 31[st] March , we introduced our midday (midweek) Mass, which continues to attract a faithful following including several church members who do not feel able to join in the larger Sunday event. Morning prayer is also said at 8.30am on each weekday (on-line on Monday and Wednesday and in church on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). We continue to ask the congregation to wear face masks in line with Government guidance and have tried to ensure effective ventilation by opening the windows throughout the services (even in winter!).
Music has always played a major part in our services, and the restriction on singing was keenly felt; it is a joy that we are able to sing again in church. We have been delighted that St James’ is bucking the trend by having started up a choir during this last year. This developed out of the weekly individual recordings by singers which Jim Weeks encouraged and put together during 2020, and from 22[nd] April , some members of the fifteen regular singers have been singing each week in a choir which Tim Bayton now directs and rehearses. Several of the choir members are also accomplished instrumentalists and so from 1[st] August different musicians and singers have been providing various musical contributions during communion. Our 2021 Carol Service was a highlight, with our own choir and instrumentalists, together with visiting singers and musicians joining us.
Since 29[th] March 2020 St James’ services have been broadcasted online providing, a lifeline every week for many and holding us as a family together and the PCC have decided to continue to stream every Sunday Parish Eucharist service. After consulting with the Archdeacon, the funds were raised for suitable audiovisual equipment. With its usual generosity, the church family raised the required funds with ease. We have been deeply indebted to the small but highly skilled team responsible, masterminded by Jim Weeks.
Away from our regular services, the pandemic has inevitably meant that some of our usual activities have not taken place during the year. Having successfully operated for over 30 years in September, our Luncheon Club and Outreach have had to cease but we are in discussions with another provider nearby, who is backed by Exeter City Council.
Messy Church did not meet in 2021, although the team of volunteers plan to re-start the monthly meetings with the onset of lighter evenings and milder weather.
From March 2020, our children (JAM) and young people (11-ups) were only able to meet up online with occasional outdoor events such as a Christmas treasure hunt, but they did enjoy a Zoom pancake party, pizza party, Christingle event etc. They have now resumed meeting on Sunday mornings (JAM from September, and 11-Ups from November).
Throughout, Fr Brian Tubbs has continued to lead a lively house group monthly. This in-depth study, currently focusing on the Gospels, is available to all the church family through Zoom meetings.
At present there are 158 parishioners on the Electoral Roll. 4 names have been removed, either because of death or moving away, and 3 added.
Safeguarding
The PCC is committed to the safeguarding of our young people and vulnerable adults and reviews its safeguarding policy annually. Details of safeguarding contacts can be found on St James’ Church website and on the notice boards in the church and church hall. We have had ‘due regard’ to the guidance issued by the House of Bishops and the PCC has complied with its duty regarding safeguarding. We undertake the necessary training, DBS checks, review our policies and implement these to the best of our ability.
A safeguarding report is submitted to each PCC meeting throughout the year, with updates on training, the action plan produced by the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard and information from the Diocese. Members of the PCC undertake the online training courses on Safeguarding and Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse. We also follow the guidance on ‘Safer Recruitment’ provided by the Diocese.
Health and Safety
As Coronavirus (COVID-19) is still present, the past year has seen a variety of restrictions on services and activities which could take place. A number of precautions were put in place, to minimise the risk of transmission of the virus. These varied throughout the year as we followed advice from the government and the Church of England. Regular risk assessments were undertaken following the restrictions and advice at the time for various services and events to take place. Some of the main precautions were wearing face coverings, hand sanitising, good ventilation (even if this meant it was a little chilly), regular cleaning and social distancing.
Regular inspections of our portable electrical equipment take place and full PAT testing was completed in September 2021. The smoke alarms in the hall and the emergency lighting in the hall and the church are regularly tested.
In January 2022 ten people completed a one-day course on Emergency First Aid at Work which included the use of a defibrillator.
Thanks to all those, in particular the churchwardens and the treasurer, who keep a vigilant eye on the buildings to ensure any minor repairs are completed promptly.
Finance Report
The financial results for the year to 31[st] December 2021 have been sound, and have exceeded prepandemic levels as a result of:
-
The generosity of the family of St James’ Church. An appeal for general funds made in 2021 raised over £7,000, and a further appeal in September for the audio-visual equipment raised a further £7,100.
-
Hall bookings performed well, because many of the other venues were either closed or were not COVID-safe. Our large, airy venue has proved a most valuable asset, producing nearly £25,000 in revenue, and a resulting surplus of £15,500.
-
Our expenses remained muted due to both the lower level of church activity until recently, and thanks to the many who voluntarily gave their services unpaid.
As a result, we were able to repay some of the £11,000 Common Fund discount kindly given to us in 2020 by the Diocese. We remain grateful for that support, and we hope to be able to repay the remainder. In line with Biblical principles and our ongoing commitment, St James’ once again gave away over 5% of its income to charitable causes, many of which were overseas.
Going Concern
The PCC has reviewed the budget for income and expenditure and it has considered various different outcomes for 2022. Taking into account the available reserves, the PCC is reassured about the financial stability of the parish.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 315t December 2021
1. Accounting Policies
- The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, on the Receipts and Payments basis.
2. Analysis of Fund Movements for the Year
-
i. UNRESTRICTED FUNDS may be used by the PCC for any of its ordinary purposes. The PCC has chosen to set aside bequests and memorial donations to be used for fitting future projects or commitments. There is therefore a DESIGNATED fund that remains part of the unrestricted funds. Movements in the funds are shown in the cash flow statement.
-
ii. RESTRICTED FUNDS represent income which may be spent only on the specific purpose for which they were given or for which they were invited. Any balance remaining unspent is carried forward as a balance on that fund and may not be absorbed into general funds.
-
iii. ENDOWMENT FUNDS are funds whose capital must be maintained: only income arising from the investment of the endowment may be used, either as restricted or as unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.
-
Investments
-
Quoted investments are valued at bid-market prices at 31°* December. Apart from bank balances, there are no other investment assets.
-
Assets and Liabilities
-
i. The church and grounds as well as the Rectory and the curate’s house are vested in the Representative Body of the Church of England and are not parish assets.
-
ii. Moveable church contents (plate, furniture etc.) are inalienable property and require a faculty for disposal. They are recorded in the Church Terrier log. Many are historic and no reliable cost basis exists for them; they are neither recognised nor listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities below.
-
ili. Other assets and property, which are retained for or occupied for Church purposes and which are not investment assets, are listed below in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as non-monetary assets.
5. Statement of Assets and Liabilities
-
ASSETS Hall: The building, kitchen equipment, cooker, fridge/freezer, water heater, cupboards, chairs, tables, stage curtains, heaters, fire guards and copper piping.
-
Grounds: Lawnmower, shed, cycle rack, notice boards. Parish Office: PC, software, photocopier and office equipment. Church: Organ, silverware, vestments, altar frontals, statues, pictures, Clavinova, CCTV equipment, loop system, PA equipment, Optoma projector and screens, heaters, guards and copper piping.
