Structure, governance and management

Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

1

The PCC meets on a monthly basis.

A standing committee, consisting of the incumbent, churchwardens, secretary and treasurer meet if business needs to be transacted between PCC meetings.

A much-expanded Ministry Team with representatives from all sub teams and ministerial and operational activities meets on a monthly basis.

An operational team meeting headed by the wardens meets monthly.

Objectives and activities

The Incumbent and PCC have the responsibility of promoting the pastoral, evangelistic, ecumenical and social mission of the church. St Mary’s aims to be a growing community of Christian people who desire to know Jesus better, to share our faith confidently with those around us and to demonstrate this in giving loving service to all.

Our vision incorporates the following three key activities:

Knowing Jesus - This is about strengthening our relationship with God, empowered by the bible and enabled by individual and communal prayer.

Sharing Faith - This is about communicating our faith with our Church family, and others we meet each day.

Loving Service - This is about taking actions which demonstrate Jesus’ love for us. Through these actions, we aim to make a positive difference to people’s lives in our village community and beyond.

Achievements and performance

Church attendance

There are 246 (2021: 242) parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, a few of whom are not resident within the parish.

The church mainly runs three services on Sunday at 8am, 9.30am and 11.15am with a 10am service on Thursdays.

The weekly average attendance in 2022 was 107 adults and 11 children and young persons.

Review of the year

Activities returned to pre covid levels for both services and ministry activities. This also applied to the use of the church hall by the community and outside organisations.

The PCC and teams set up for the purpose continue to explore and develop a strategy and development plan to take the church into the future. This is to provide and extend the ability to provide ministry to grow the church and support the local community.

In 2022 we took several steps to increase our outreach to the community. A Community Fridge was set up in the church hall in January to operate for an hour on Monday mornings. This is run in partnership with a local charity The Meeting Place. We are very thankful to local stores and supermarkets which allow us to collect surplus food. The fridge has proved to be popular with local residents with participants of the order of 40-50 per week. Along with the fridge a Coffee Shop was operated at the same time. This has been popular with those coming to the fridge and also for others to come and have a coffee and meet socially. A monthly Afternoon Tea was also introduced which also enabled people to meet socially.

A major new step in enhancing our outreach was the appointment of two part time employees.

2

We were delighted to appoint Julie Partridge (Assistant Minister) as our Pioneer Community Worker and Hannah Hossain as our Families Worker in December. We were able to do this because of sponsorship funding for a substantial part of the cost from a local charity Peaceful Streams. The Pioneer Community Worker is responsible for developing outreach in the parish through new and existing initiatives and to build sustainable relationships with local residents, voluntary organisations, agencies, other churches and schools, The Families Worker’s role is to develop and establish new links in the community for all families. It will also involve carrying out children’s and families ministry and pastoral care.

These two new roles coupled with our Youth Minister gives us an excellent base to grow our outreach to children, youth, families and the community in general.

Beside the standard services the following were also provided during the year: Messy Church which is a form of church for children and adults involving creativity, celebration and hospitality.

The Lighthouse after-school drop-in for children in school years 3-6 (ages 7-11) which has now developed into The Way and is held in school. Bereavement café, Women’s Breakfast and several social activities. Who let the Dads out where dads and children can escape to play games etc. Youth drop ins and activities.

We continued to be involved in the community with members being actively involved in Love Fetcham. This is an initiative that allows us to work with other Christians in our community (and with those of no faith), for the benefit of the community, several of our members have strong links with local charities supporting the community.

With regard to the PCC's obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.

When planning our activities for the year, our incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The PCC met 10 times during 2022 to oversee these and other matters .

Financial review

Income for the year was £249,300 (£303,300 – 2021). Expenditure was £226,500 (£204,100 – 2021). Overall, there was a surplus for the year of £22,900 (£99,100 – 2021).

Income

Income was down £54,000 on the exceptional income for 2021. A legacy of £50,300 was received, restricted for the upkeep of the church and churchyard. Single donations totalling £11,200 (including gift aid) were received to support the youth work and £9,600 (including gift aid) for general purposes. Regular giving was up £10,700 (including gift aid) following the 2021 Stewardship and new joiners during the year. With the Church Hall returning to normal use income from lettings was £10,200 (£5,000 – 2021). New outreach activities including running a community fridge and café raised donations of £3,700 with any surplus being used to fund improvements and community activities.

3

Expenditure

The overall expenditure was up £22,400 on 2021 With the church and hall returning to full activities after Covid19 there was a general increase in expenditure. In addition, the following specific expenditure was incurred: repairs to vestry roof (£2,300, replacing hall windows (£3,800), health and safety improvements (£2,300). Capital expenditure of £5,400 was incurred to replace the photocopier.

The PCC made unrestricted donations of £22,900 (£15,200 – 2021)) to home and overseas missions.

Reserves policy

Unrestricted reserves were £165,400 (£191,300 – 2021) at the year end.

The unrestricted reserves have been allocated as follows:

The restricted reserves were £59,700 (£11,000 – 2021) at the year end and were as follows:

The 2022 Stewardship Campaign was very successful in increasing regular giving by £58,800 (including gift aid) per annum. This will cover the gap between regular income and ongoing expenditure for the existing operations. Additional costs will be incurred by the appointment of a community worker, families worker and operations manager. These roles will cost about £60,00 per annum. A local charity Peaceful Streams has pledged support for £50,000 per annum with the balance to be funded by the church. The new initiatives fund (£30,200) has been set up to help cover this cost over the next three years.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY’S FETCHAM NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The financial statements include all activities for which the PCC is legally responsible; the activities of informal gatherings of church members and groups that owe their main affiliation to another body are excluded.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the 'Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)' ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Going concern

The PCC have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The PCC have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

b) Income

Income (which includes planned giving, collections and other donations) is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part income is generally recognised when it is received by, or on behalf of, the PCC. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

Income from donations and legacies includes:

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from fees for weddings and funerals and from letting the facilities to the local community.

9

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY’S FETCHAM NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

c) Expenditure

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Contributions in respect of the diocesan parish share are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for all amounts agreed to being payable for the financial year. Any contributions that have not been paid over by the year end are included as a creditor.

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. The PCC generally seeks to tithe about 10% of the previous year's unrestricted income to charitable causes outside of the church. When the whole 10% has not been distributed in the year, the left over amount is set aside in a designated fund for distribution in the following year.

d) Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

e) Tangible fixed assets

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in these financial statements by virtue of s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Movable church furnishings held by the incumbent and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are capitalised in accordance with the policy set out below. These items are regarded as inalienable property and are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. Inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 has not been capitalised as there is insufficient cost information available.

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period.

f) Pension scheme arrangements

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.

g) Taxation

The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.

The church employs a youth minister and a parish administrator. In addition in December a part time pioneer community worker and a part time families worker were also employed. The former is also the assistant minister.

The youth minister, Nathan Ghinn, received salary and pension benefits totalling £27,362 (£26.603- 2020) and the pioneer community worker, Julie Partridge received a salary of £712. Both are ex officio member of the PCC. These payments are permitted by the PCC's governing document.

Reverend Pouya Heidari (who is a clergy member of the PCC) receives a stipend from the Diocese and so he is not an employee; some of the Diocesan parish share is used to help meet the cost of his stipend. Reverend Heidari was provided with accommodation (which is customary for clergy) and the cost of this accommodation to the PCC was £4,098 (£7,070 - 2021).

Most of the PCC's activities are carried out by volunteers; in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.

The Future Initiatives Fund (£30,197) has been set up from legacy income to cover St Mary's contribution to the cost of the Pioneer Community Worker, Families Worker and Operations Manager for the next three years. The majority of the cost is being funded by a charity (Peaceful Streams)

The Mission & Charity Giving Fund (£8.539) represents the balance of funds set aside from a tithing of income that hadn't been distributed by the year end. These funds will be distributed in 2023.

The Hall Project Fund (£8,121) represents donations received for the planned new facilities in the hall.

ST MARY’S FETCHAM INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE P C C

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner

As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this 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:

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General 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 matters have come to my attention:

  1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with

  4. the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

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