## **Public Benefit**
The members of the PCC have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aim and objectives of the PCC and in planning any future activities. In particular, the members have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.
## **Church attendance**
There are 157 (2019: 170) parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. 2020 Church attendance was impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Between January 2020 and March 2020 services were conducted in church with Sunday attendance being 75 Adults and 20 Children (2019: 125 Adults and 20 Children).
From the end of March until July 2020 services were offered online via Facebook estimated to be 40+.

Estimated numbers being 45-50 persons attending church and 20 viewing from home.

## **Financial Review**
Total income for unrestricted funds was £152,940 of which £93,389 was unrestricted voluntary donations, £19,137 from Gift Aid, £6,002 Job Retention Scheme and £1,800 in Grants. Restricted voluntary income of £6,345 was also received and is detailed in the Financial Statements.
Overall voluntary income was virtually unchanged compared to 2019 despite Planned Giving decreasing by £7,267 representing a 9% decrease and Collections at Services decreasing £3,264 representing a 83% decrease. These decreases were offset by the Job Retention Scheme (£6,002), The 2020 Appeal which raised funds towards the general fund (£8,023) & a one-off donation of £10,000.
The global pandemic caused significant reductions in income from Fundraising & Hall Hire. Fundraising decreased by £4,849 representing a 71% decrease while Hall Hire decreased by £12,124 representing a 64% decrease.
£178,348 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St Michael’s representing a reduction of 14%. This decrease was due to a reduction in the running costs of both the church and its activities due to long periods of closure or reduced use due to the global pandemic.
Restricted expenditure in 2020 was £3,950.
The Southam Drive property was revalued in 2020 increasing in value by £206,000 to £375,000. The increase was split across General Fund (£126,690) & the restricted Epiphany Fund (£79,310).
The net result for the year was an increase in total funds of £181,108 (22.1%) this being made up of an increase in unrestricted funds of £100,125 and an increase in restricted funds of £80,982. The total fund balances at the year-end stood at £1,001,672 (Unrestricted: £410,774; Designated £357,346 and Restricted £233,551).
## **Risk Management**
St Michael’s has a child protection policy in place, and the Churchyard Committee has a rolling programme of reviewing safety in the churchyard. We have a health and safety policy. Risk assessments were produced for use of Church Buildings and Church services during the pandemic. **Reserves Policy**
The £233,551 (2019: £152,569) in restricted funds is held in accordance with the terms attached to each of the funds. £410,774 (2019: £225,574) of unrestricted funds is invested in freehold land, building and equipment for use of the church and its curate. This leaves £357,347 (2019: £442,421) towards our current average quarterly expenditure of £35,880 expecting to increase in 2021 as Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown restrictions are lifted and usual church activities recommence.

## **A summary of the decisions and issues considered by the PCC in 2020.**
## **Church Growth**
For January and February, the PCC continued to have a standing item when members reflected on real life stories and examples of Church Growth that they had experienced at St Michael’s.
## **Finance**
The PCC discussed the reinvestment of some of church funds to gain a higher rate of income from reserves. The Standing Committee were tasked with identifying the level of risk of investment that we wanted to take. In July it was decided to put this process on hold following the impact of the first Covid 19 Lockdown.
The PCC were informed that Rev’d Gary Birchall had taken on the role of ‘Acting Treasurer’ following the resignation of Rick Smart as Treasurer in June.
A decision was made to cease using the Contactless Terminal as it was discovered that there were a lot of hidden charges that we had not been informed of.
The PCC appointed an Examiner of Accounts via Data Development on recommendation of Amanda Homer in the Diocesan Finance Department. This would be for the examination of the 2019 accounts and would cost £500 + VAT.
The PCC resolved to use the Parish Book provided by Birmingham Diocese.
In response to projected shortfall in income for 2020, the PCC approved a “St Michael’s Gift Week” with the aim of raising “£20, 000 for 2020”
## **Ministry and Mission**
CFM, Jeanette Nicholls, gave the PCC advance notice of her early retirement at the end of June 2020.
## **Safeguarding**
The PCC were informed that it was their duty to report all serious incidents to the charity commission. Birmingham Diocese provided pathways for reporting both safe guarding incidents and other serious incidents. The PCC agreed to allocate the responsibility for reporting safeguarding incidents be delegated to the Safeguarding Officers in church. The PCC agreed to allocate the responsibility for reporting other serious incidents to the Standing Committee.
The safeguarding team are working towards St Michael’s achieving everything on the Diocesan ‘dashboard’ and have an action plan in place.
Training – all PCC members must complete a basic awareness course, which can be done online as individuals or could wait until we are able to meet as a group, face-to-face.

All other officers (such as children’s group leaders, pastoral carers etc) will also need to complete a more in-depth training. Most are currently out of date with this, but it will wait until the Diocese provide the training, expected in 2021.
## **Community**
Rev’d Gary Birchall informed the PCC of new parking regulations to be implemented on Church Road and how this would impact parking for St Michael’s church.
Peter Knight presented to the PCC his book ‘The little church on the hill: a history of St Michael’s church’ The PCC agreed to approve the funding of the production of 100 copies at a cost of £1183, with a view to selling them at £20 each, with any profit going into general church funds.
## **Pastoral**
In March 2020 a telephone network of pastoral care was set up in response to the coming Lockdown. This was not a decision made by the PCC but supported by many of its members who active in ringing people to keep in touch and offer pastoral support. This support was extended to members of the Lunch Club.
## **Fabric**
The PCC approved electrical testing and remedial work that needed to be done on the Church Hall as a result.
The PCC approved the removal of a large tree in the Church Hall carpark. The roots were impacting on the surface of the carpark and potentially could cause future damage to the foundations of the church hall.
Cadent, as a result of Government directive, laid a gas line direct to the Scout Hut. This meant that the Church Hall and the Scout Hut now had separate gas supplies and meters.
## **Worship**
Following the first Lockdown, the PCC voted for St Michael’s Church, Boldmere to re-open for Public Worship on Sunday 26th July with one service at 10.00am. Attendance at this service will be by booking a seating bubble in the church through the Parish Office. This remained the case until the second Lockdown in November. The church reopened for worship in December and for Christmas Day. In the mean time services took place on Zoom.
The PCC received a report on research that he had undertaken as part of his training regarding the impact of the provision of worship in church and on line during the early months of Lockdown.
## **LOCKDOWN**
The PCC were kept informed about when and for how long members of the Church staff were on furlough, or flexible furlough. The PCC were required to discuss and decide a pattern of worship during various stages of the Covid 19 pandemic.

## **Vicar’s Report**
2020 began with hope as the PCC considered way of encouraging and enabling the people of the church to share their faith as part of our Leading Your Church into Growth programme. When the first Pandemic Lockdown began at the end of March, it felt as though the rug was being pulled from under our feet at a time of growth in the life of the church. There was a rapid response as we discovered new ways of leading worship online. Very early on, I became seriously ill, and Rev’d Cath Walker took the initiative in enabling worship during Lent, Holy Week and Easter with the support of Readers and other members of the church. This was a very demanding time as the church was adjusting rapidly to new circumstances and I would like to personally thank Cath and other members of the church leadership and ministry team for all they did.
Rev’d Cath Walker was appointed Vicar of St Michael’s Mottram with Broadbottom and Hattersley East in Chester Diocese and she moved in August at the end of her curacy. We were also able to welcome Rev’d Simon Cocks as Self-Supporting Curate in July 2020, and eventually he was ordained as Deacon at Birmingham Cathedral in September 2020. We also said farewell to Jeanette Nicholls, our Children’s and Families Missioner as she moved to Derbyshire taking early retirement.
On returning to work in May it became clear that the churches finances needed to be prioritised in order to present Accounts for 2019 and begin work on the 2020 accounts. We received immense assistance in doing this from the Diocesan Parish Book Keeping service. By the end of 2020 we were in a position to present a 2021 Budget at the PCC meeting in January 2021.
Sustaining church life throughout the pandemic has brought many challenges and some joys. There has been a rapid learning curve in presenting worship online and also live streamed from church. South Aisle Saints and FLOK have responded so positively in keeping contact with children and families and offering quality spiritual encouragement and input. Two Home Groups have continued, Zoom prayer groups have been held. PCC meetings and an APCM were held via Zoom. So many people have expressed their love of God in so many ways in the life of the church, supporting people and continuing to pray and worship and care.
At the same time, it is clear that many of us have had times of great challenge and struggle in 2020 as we have grappled with loss, stress, mental well-being, concern for family and friends and so much more. There have been times when I have found it hard to keep going and other times when I have been able to rejoice in the love, grace and prayer of the people of the church.
Planning for the future has become harder. We have had to change our plans so often in the last year. What will our faith community at St Michael’s look like when we hopefully emerge from the pandemic. What will we have lost, what will we have gained, what new things are around the

corner, what old things will we still draw strength and hope from. Peter Knight wrote and produced an excellent and detailed book on the history and life of St Michael’s Church. It is written almost bang up to date for 2020. Obviously, that is where the book concluded. It struck me that we are people who are going to be writing the next chapter in the sequel. What will be in the chapter, what mystery will unravel, what narrative will take us by surprise, who are the characters who will leap from the page. As we continue on our way through 2021 let’s see what happens, and above all let us see what God writes for us through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives in the name of Jesus in the year to come.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020**
## **Respective responsibilities of the P.C.C and the examiner**
The P.C.C. members acting as the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission and the guidance published in the PCC Accountability (The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC, 5[th] edition). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
