TRUSTEES' REPORT
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the requirements of The Charities (Financial Statements and Reports) Regulations 2008 and section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011.
OBJECTIVES AND AREA OF BENEFIT
The church has the motto that we should ‘Seek First the Kingdom of God’ and the Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team clergy in promoting, within the ecclesiastical parish in this town and surrounding area, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can reach out and welcome all who live in our parish. We aim for our worship and prayer to put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament.
As part of our witness and service to our community we provide pastoral care for the sick and needy, including the Friday Diner and the Mary’s Place Warm Hub, plus working with young children through Music Makers, Messy Church and Stay and Play activities.
ACTIVITIES
The PCC met six times during the year (primarily using Zoom online meetings) with an average attendance of 69%.
With the end of Covid restrictions we were once again able to offer a full range of services in 2022; our Sunday morning programme now comprises the more traditional 9.30am service and the new-style 11.15am Encounter service, together with a fortnightly 8.00am said communion service.
We have also been able fully to resume our activities for the community:
-
the Friday Diner - for those who might eat alone, the homeless and the vulnerable
-
the Open the Book programme - for St. Mary’s, East the Water and Kingsley Preparatory Schools
-
Music Makers, Messy Church and Stay and Play (during the Holidays) - for families
-
Reflections - for the bereaved.
In March we held a well-attended Vision Day for the parish which generated a list of priority points for the PCC to consider and develop; much of the PCC’s time since then has been taken up with progressing these points, not all of which have yet come to fruition:
-
The potential removal of the pews
-
The introduction of live music at the Encounter service
-
Ensuring that the 9.30am service is consistently good
-
Continued improvement in communications
-
Opening up all channels of prayer
Our Treasurer, Ellie Doe, stood down in May. In order to spread the load and provide greater resilience her functions have been taken over by a new Finance Team comprising Richard Holwill (Acting Financial Controller), Paul Dean (Parish Accountant), Michael Elliott (Payroll Officer) and Mo Channon (Cashier). As ever the PCC has had to deal with a range of fabric issues, not all of which have yet been resolved; these include the heating system, the clock and the external handrail and steps.
The PCC wishes to record formally its grateful thanks to all those volunteers who contribute to our ministry in so many ways.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
There are 156 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, which was last fully revised in 2021. The average total attendance for Sunday morning services is in the order of some 110-120.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds for the year were just under £154,000 and are detailed in the financial statements. We spent £137,000 to provide Christian Ministry from St Mary’s Church, including the contribution to the common fund (which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy). The net result is a surplus of income over expenditure of a little under £17,000 for the year.
Our income was boosted by several non-recurring items, such as legacies and an energy grant from the Diocese. But for these the net result would be a very modest surplus.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the PCC policy to utilise restricted funds wherever possible and to maintain unrestricted funds of at least £25,000. The balance at the end of this year is well in excess of this figure so, despite forecasting a substantial deficit for 2023, the PCC is reassured about the financial stability of the parish.
Restricted funds have increased from just under £19,000 to over £26,000 during the year. The balances primarily relate to the 21[st] Century Appeal Fund and the Fabric Fund and the movements in Restricted Funds are shown in Note 8 to these financial statements.
SAFEGUARDING POLICY
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to the House of Bishop’s guidance on Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
TAXATION STATUS
As a charity utilising all of its net income for charitable purposes the PCC is exempt from income tax, corporation tax and capital gains tax.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
A church has been present on its site in Bideford since Saxon times. The Bideford Parochial Church Council (Bideford PCC) was established under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1921 and became a Registered Charity with effect from 8 April 2009.
The names of the Trustees who served during the year are shown on page 1 of these financial statements. Members of the PCC are either ex-officio, elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, or co-opted in accordance with the Church Representation rules. All who attend our services are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC:
Standing Committee
This committee has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. This is the only committee required by law.
Mission Committee
This committee oversees relations with external mission and relief agencies and recommends allocations of grants to the PCC.
Pastoral Care Committee
This committee t akes responsibility for the organisation of pastoral care within the Parish.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which properly present the charity’s Income and Expenditure for the year together with its assets and liabilities at the end of the year, and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
Approved by the Parochial Church Council at their meeting on 13 March 2023.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY, BIDEFORD
I report on the financial statements of The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of St Mary, Bideford for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
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 Act; and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 31 December 2022
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102). The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, applicable accounting standards under FRS102 (2016) and with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)), with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual Accounts of PCCs, and with those Regulations’ “true and fair” provisions. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and using the accruals and going concern bases.
a) Recognition of income
Incoming resources are recognised when they are receivable or when the PCC’s right to the income becomes legally enforceable, when the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty and when it is more likely that the PCC will benefit from the resource. Grants and donations are included when any pre-conditions preventing their use by the PCC have been met, and Gift Aid claims are included at the same time as the donations to which they relate. Rental income is recognised when the rental is due, and investment income is included when receivable.
c)
Fixed assets
i) Consecrated land and buildings are not included in these Accounts by virtue of Section 10(2) Charities Act 2011 as the property is effectively dedicated to God and set aside solely for sacred purposes. Costs of maintenance or improvement relating to consecrated assets are written off in the year they are incurred. ii) Moveable church furnishings are not capitalised as insufficient cost information is available, but they are included in the Church’s inventory.
iii) No depreciation is provided on St Mary’s House as the estimated residual value of the property is not less than its carrying value and its estimated remaining useful life is not less than 50 years. Any depreciation charge would therefore be immaterial.
iv) Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost more than £10,000. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of such assets, less their estimated residual value, over their estimated useful life. The Audio-Visual System cost £22,955 and was fully written off over 5 years.
d) Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation, settlement is probable and the settlement value is reasonably quantifiable.
e)
Funds accounting
(i) Unrestricted Funds are monies held by the Trustees and expendable at their discretion on any purpose they deem fit in furtherance of the work of the Church.
(ii) Designated Fund The sub-committee managing the Friends of St Mary’s Fund has the discretion to allocate the sums held in their Designated Fund to support the care and maintenance of the church, fabric and contents, and to encourage enjoyment and appreciation of the church. The monies held by the subcommittee may be used to make pay direct payments for a specific purpose or transferred to reimburse expenditure paid from Unrestricted Funds if they decide that is appropriate.
(iii) Restricted Funds represent income which may only be expended on a restricted object or purpose and details of the funds held and restrictions are given in Note 8 of these financial statements.
(iv) Permanent Endowment Funds are funds that must be retained as trust capital permanently. In this case the freehold property of St Mary’s House was acquired using money given in response to a specific appeal for the purchase of that property, with no suggestion that in the event of failure of the appeal the funds raised might be used for other purposes, together with money held from the prior disposal of other freehold property which was also a permanent endowment. In prior years the existence of this Fund was not recognised but following professional advice the 2021 comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect this.
f) Pension contributions
The PCC makes employer contributions at defined rates into the NEST pension scheme for its full-time employee. The NEST pension scheme is a defined contribution plan and the liability of the PCC is limited to the contributions paid.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Mr C Beechey, who is a member of the PCC, received £4,806 (2021 - £2,409) in fees for his work as the parish organist and choirmaster during the year.
Clergy expenses are disclosed in Note 5 to these financial statements.
No remuneration, benefits, travelling expenses or out-of-pocket expenses were paid to any other PCC member during the year. Occasionally PCC members act as agents for the PCC and make approved purchases on its behalf, and are reimbursed for this expenditure. Such reimbursed expenditure is not personal to the Trustee concerned and does not represent goods or services provided by the Trustee.
The PCC received approximately £21,601 (2021 - £17,499) during the year in donations from Trustees (PCC members) and their close relatives. The donors did not attach any conditions to their gifts which required the PCC to significantly alter the nature of its existing activities.
