ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHONERS** - **a)** Apologies: 20 people attended the meeting. Apologies received from: Glynnis and Richard Bradshaw, Julie Davies, Hazel Frankland, Alison Loudon, Avril Pinkney, Maureen Schueler, Brian and June Wakeford. - **b)** Minutes of last meeting: These were proposed as a true record by Valerie Griffiths and seconded by Sue Wilson. All present were in agreement. - **c)** Matters arising: There were no matters arising. **d)** Election of Churchwardens: Mike and Sue were thanked for the tremendous amount of work they have done in the past year. Both of them are willing to continue and there were no others who wished to be elected. Mike Williams was proposed by Jo Jackson and seconded by Gill Hill.

Closing prayers. _6_ _5_ work required. We have also to arrange an electrical inspection and a lightning conductor test. The under pew heating system is installed and effectively heats the congregation rather than the whole church. Although fully installed, there are still a few pews to be correctly fused to make it fully operational. We have benefitted from the generous financial assistance of a donor with work in the churchyard with tree and general work. This augments the sterling efforts of the Rakers and Scrapers team through professional specialist work. Our churchyard will require more work to be carried out and this will include the outer wall where the flint stones have dislodged. With regard to burials within the churchyard, the available space is now very limited for full burials, although the burial of ashes is currently unlimited. The organ is tuned and maintained by Alistair Curtis and discussions have taken place regarding this instrument as work will be required to keep it fully operational before too long. The ceiling and roof issues may require this work to be put back as although the ceiling may be covered by insurance, the roof work cannot be claimed. It is still evident that the location of Holy Trinity Church is still a mystery to some within our community. The sign at the bottom of Blendworth Lane has proved effective, although to limit the confusion with the church centre, it is proposed to add more detail to the sign at the end of the centre drive. As Church Wardens, Sue and I have been in post for some years and we must look to the future for others to step forward and take up the mantle in a post which can be challenging, hard work yet also very rewarding. Volunteers to become Church Warden would be welcomed. e) Treasurer’s report: The following points were highlighted: The Church Centre. Lettings were down slightly as the Methodist Church did not return to hire the building after the heating was installed. There was a replacement to the heating system of £10674, and we spent £1509 on the new office to accommodate an extra desk. The coffee shop gave donations to the church of £948, and the Centre gave the Church £5000. Magazine account gave a donation of £500 to the Church and £500 was split between Chalton and Idsworth. This account also paid to advertise the clergy vacancy in the Church Times and they also bought a new computer for the Parish office. ## **MINUTES OF THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETINGS** **OF THE PARISH OF BLENDWORTH, HOLY TRINITY HELD ON SUNDAY 17 OCTOBER 2020 AT HOLY TRINITY CHURCH** ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING - **c)** Apologies: Same as previous vestry meeting. - **d)** Minutes of last meeting: The minutes were proposed as a true record by Mike Williams and seconded by Valerie Griffiths, then duly signed. - **e)** Matters arising: There were none. - **f)** Churchwarden’s report: Until September 2019 we were in interregnum and it has been very encouraging to report that throughout the period we have been able to seamlessly continue the mission and ministry of our benefice, particular at Holy Trinity. Our grateful thanks go to all our associated visiting clergy and readers who supported us throughout the period with services, baptisms, weddings and funerals. The cross co-operation between church wardens in the benefice, clergy members, our benefice secretary in the office and other members of the congregation stepping in to assume some administrative responsibilities enabled us to keep a very close control on all aspects of the work of the benefice. We now have the joy of welcoming Reverend Vickie Morgan to our midst and hope she finds her ministry with us a fulfilling and uplifting experience. The task she currently faces is challenging with four churches under her wing, the new incumbent for Catherington and Clanfield yet to be licenced and our own House for Duty post still unfilled. We all pray for a successful outcome of all these issues and a bright and developing ministry across the six churches in our group. The Quinquennial Inspection is due and was scheduled to take place in the spring of 2020 (now rescheduled until 2021). The inclement weather has caused damage to the interior ceiling of the church during the year and a roof inspection has also indicated issues that will need expensive repairs to be carried out. We are working with our architect Daniel Forshaw on the remedial _8_ _7_ David Lougher was proposed by Gordon Taylor and seconded by Carol Legg. Jo Jackson was proposed by Gill Hill and seconded by Jo Lougher. Marion Williams was proposed by Veronica Brice and seconded by Sue Wilson. The flower fund monthly donation was increased due to the increase in the cost of flowers. The social group donated £4000 to the Church. The weekly draw. £1818 was paid out in prize money and £662 was given to the Church. Everyone present was in favour. - **i)** Independent Examiner: As invited by the Diocese, we put in a bid for students from Portsmouth University Business School to do this as part of their coursework. They will be supervised by their lecturer, who is a professional accountant. All groups will need to get their accounts to Val by February. Val thanked the Owen Kenny Partnership (David Small) for examining the 2019 accounts on our behalf. DATE OF ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD 2021 This will be held Saturday 17[th] April, at 2pm ## CLOSING WORSHIP **1.** Revd Vickie Morgan led everybody in saying The Grace together. On the published accounts, page 3/6 combined income. The Gift Aid refund is lower than last year as our regular giving has decreased and we had fewer weddings, funerals and baptisms. Also some of our regular givers are no longer tax payers. We were fortunate to receive a one off anonymous donation of £20000. We received a grant of £400 towards the summer fete, which was extremely fortunate as the weather was atrocious. We had an income of £1383 and spent £623, which gave us an overall income of £1160. A legacy of £500 was received from the family of Josephine Sloan. £1523 was received for Charity fundraising. On page 4/6 combined expenses: Church maintenance for lighting and inspection of roof after water ingress. Churchyard expenses increased: We had not paid any water rates for 5 years. Clergy expense: This was to cover retired clergy taking services after appointment of new vicar. Other increased costs, due to increase in the cost of living. Wage increase was for extra help during the interregnum We were fortunate this tear that our shares increased by £4090. We will not be as fortunate in 2020 as the result of the corona virus. We received a donation of £20000 and increase in shares of £4000, but we still only made a an overall profit of £5000. Serious regard to fund raising for the year needs to be addressed as we are still on the downward spiral. **f)** Published reports: Electoral Roll. There were 8 additions and 9 deletions giving a total of 100 of which 19 were resident in the parish. There were no questions or comments on the other group reports. ## **g)** Chairperson’s report. There was none - **h)** Election of PCC: Those due to finish this year are; David Lougher, Richard Baker, Bret Hopping, David Small and Marion Williams. Both Marion and David L were willing to stand again. _10_ _9_ _Electoral Roll Officer:_ Mrs. Marion Willaims until February 2021 ## **3. Structure, Governance and Management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules as published online by the Church of England General Synod (https://www.churchofengland.org/more/policy-and-thinking/churchrepresentation-rules/church-representation-rules-online). All regular church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The Roll was last revised in 2019, prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. The PCC is the body of trustees for the Parish. ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF BLENDWORTH, HOLY TRINITY ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** ## **1. Administrative Information** **Full Parochial Name:** Blendworth, Holy Trinity. **Benefice:** Blendworth with Chalton with Idsworth **Diocese:** Portsmouth ## **4. Charitable Status** **Location:** Blendworth Lane, Blendworth, Hants, PO8 0AB The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission; number 1129238. ## **5. Safeguarding** Holy Trinity is fully committed to the Church of England’s Safeguarding Policies. The Safeguarding Policy can be found on the parishes website and outside the church building. Any safeguarding concerns about either children or vulnerable adults should be brought to the immediate attention of the Clergy or the Safeguarding Officer. There have been no reports of safeguarding matters in this reported year. The Safeguarding Officer monitors the training needs and initiates DBS checking. Janet Law currently acts as Safeguarding officer for the Benefice. ## **6. Review of activities** The year 2020 has been an extraordinary year in which the church has been affected by the Global pandemic of Coronavirus Covid-19. In March 2020 the Government instructed that church buildings close by law. Holy Trinity reopened its church building in July 2020 for public worship, following the strict instructions set out by the Government and Church of England to ensure places of worship were COVID-19 safe. Due to the need to install safety netting in church public worship began in the Church Centre for several weeks. **Benefice Office:** The Church Centre, Blendworth Lane, Horndean, Hants, PO8 0AA ## **2. Members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC)** * _Standing Committee members_ During the year 2020 the following served as members of the PCC: _Priest-in Charge:_ *The Revd. Victoria Morgan Chair _Church Wardens:_ *Mr. Mike Williams Church Warden/Vice Chair _/_ Acting Treasurer _*_ Mrs. Sue Wilson Church Warden _Electe_ d _Members:_ Mrs. Gill Bannister Mrs. Jo Jackson Ms. Janet Law Safeguarding Officer Mrs. Annie Reeves Diocesan Synod Rep Mrs. Veronica Brice Deanery Synod Rep Mrs. Marion Williams Secretary until February 2021 Mrs. Carol Legg Deanery Synod Rep *Mr. Jeff Legg Revd. Joy Windsor was licensed as Associate Priest on Saturday 5[th] December 2020 therefore becoming an ex-officio member of the PCC. _12_ _11_ Revd Joy Windsor was licensed as Associate Priest in early December. Sadly, much of what we would have achieved this year was cancelled or postponed due to the multiple lockdowns during the pandemic. Holy Trinity has suffered significantly financially due to buildings being closed, especially the Church Centre which is the main source of income through letting. We were able to safely open the Church Centre for short periods to a limited number of hirers. ## **9. Fabric Report** As you are aware Holy Trinity Blendworth was built between 1851 and 1852 when it was dedicated, so we are enjoying the benefit of a solidly built Victorian church. However, as with all buildings, maintenance and repair are the necessary and often expensive accompaniments of that benefit. The last major work carried out on the church was in 2007 when the spire was re-battened and re-tiled and has added many years to the safe structure and fabric of our church, but this repair came in at over two hundred thousand pounds! This was part funded by the Historic Churches Trust and their interest in preserving the church (and their investment) should not be discounted. It is with this in mind that further work is now required on the roof to rectify identified issues that affect the long-term future of the building. The effect of adverse weather conditions has damaged the internal ceiling of the nave in three places. There was a previous repair required on the ceiling which cost £3000 to rectify and this was paid for by a generous support donation from Owen Kenny Partners (David and Emily Small). The latest damage has been covered by our insurance policy and, together with safety netting now in place, is preventing any further falls onto the pews until a proper repair can be affected. It is recommended that this is not done until external roof repairs are completed to avoid creating any further damage issues. An external structural inspection carried out last year and in the past weeks from a Quinquennial Inspection (QI) conducted by Daniel Forshaw, highlighted rot and tiling shifts on the main roof and the flat roof of the long vestry which needs urgent repair. This does not mean that the main roof specifically is about to collapse, but that it will only get worse if nothing is done. As Church Wardens we have a duty of care to see that the fabric of the church is properly maintained. During the multiple lockdowns, the congregation has worshipped from the safety of their own homes. Weekly booklets for morning prayer and spiritual communion were sent to parishioners and members of the electoral roll by email or post. When clergy could access church buildings again a service of Holy Communion was live streamed via social media from the Blendworth Church Centre until the Holy Trinity opened for public worship. Holy Trinity held a communion service for the restoration of public worship in July 2020. Over the Advent and Christmas period we were able to hold inperson public worship. During Advent, a course was offered via Zoom to explore Advent themes. Following Christmas, the PCC concluded that the church building be closed again for in-person public worship because of the rising COVID-19 cases. During this period, the Benefice of Blendworth, Chalton and Idsworth have worshipped online via Zoom church. The ministry team have ensured pastoral care has been offered especially to those who cannot access online worship and fellowship. ## **7. Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals** Many of the weddings and baptisms which were due to take place at Holy Trinity this year were postponed because of the Covid-19 restrictions. There was one marriage ceremony, 2 Baptisms, 9 funerals and several internments of ashes. ## **8. Review of the Year – PCC** The PCC were not able to meet physically in early 2020 due to the lockdown restrictions. The business of the PCC was conducted by Business by Correspondence as per the Church Representation rules 2020 (M29). The significant areas of business addressed during the various lockdowns has been the finances of the PCC and risk assessments for public worship. An appeal for donations was made by Revd. Victoria Morgan to those on the electoral roll, some extra donations were received. The PCC were not able to maintain the Parish Share payments in full this year due to the impact of the pandemic. During the year, the PCC has maintained vigilance over Safeguarding. It has also approved Risk Assessments for public worship within the church centre and church building. In April the shared Benefice secretary resigned from her role, this role remains vacant for review in light of the Deanery Consultations. _14_ _13_ the local area. That also applies to the bell tower which, as a war memorial, has recently been maintained by a newly appointed contractor financed by Horndean Parish Council. Externally, the fabric of the church requires some work to clear gutters and generally tidy up around the church yard. The work of the Rakers and Scrapers team has been invaluable as has the support from a local volunteer worker who not only cleared the leaves in the churchyard and car park but is also assisting in the removal of brambles. The car park was scraped and levelled by Chris Curran, our gravedigger, and recently further work to assist with water run-off has been carried out by Gill and Jeff Hill and Becky Goss. All this work is greatly appreciated. With so little recent use of the church, a working party of willing volunteers will be needed to get the building back to normality and clean once we are able to access properly and we should consider carrying out some internal painting work, particularly in the long and clergy vestries. The main church painting has been raised in the QI. This would require major scaffolding effort and is something for the future. The QI also requires us to carry out an electrical safety inspection and a lightning conductor test. As Church Wardens, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the church throughout this past year. No problem is insurmountable, it just needs faith that we can achieve the outcome we want, and Holy Trinity deserves, as a testament to those who built it, those who have and still worship in it and for future generations. _Mike Williams & Sue Wilson Church Wardens_ This costs money and we are noticeably short of the necessary finance to achieve the budget that we know is required to complete this work. We do have some money available for this and with cash and fabric shares plus the internal repair insurance claim could raise approximately £45,000. By registering the church (Grade 2 listed already) on the ‘at risk’ register we can hopefully access further grants to assist with meeting the necessary costs. This is an on-going process with the DAC, also involving our preferred building contractor (Barry Couzens of Chichester). The west end of the church has issues involving rotten battens and slipped cement work. To prevent any safety issues the path has been cordoned off and a notice advising people to keep clear is in place. Again, these are precautionary measures only. These first paragraphs are intended to lay out the current situation which obviously is concerning, but not unexpected considering the age of the church. One thing is very certain in our view, is that doing nothing is not an option, it is just when it can be done. Notwithstanding the issues of future strategy discussions within the diocese on the shape of our churches, Holy Trinity Blendworth needs to be a viable and accessible place of worship for our local community. Regular members of our congregation will know that the heating system has been replaced with efficient under pew heating by David Martin who has also recently carried out testing on all our portable electrical equipment. A partial fault in the heating system (one side not working) has be rectified and discovered to be an external fuse issue not an internal system failure. The COVID-19 restrictions have necessitated the removal of all soft furnishings from the pews. These are stored in the choir and long vestry and will be returned to their proper paces once the restrictions are lifted. Certain organisation banners have been taken down too. It is very noticeable that the church feels both cold and damp, but hopefully with the spring and summer approaching the internal temperature will assist and remove those issues. The sound system has also suffered from the damp conditions, but proper use should correct those problems too. Internal cleaning has continued where possible under the current restrictions. Although both the piano and organ have been tuned in recent months, it is expected that the winter conditions now experienced may require both to undergo some care and maintenance to bring them up to optimum working order, although this may be reduced as the weather improves. The stained-glass windows behind and to the side of the altar and at the west end of the church are still in good order and their heritage stories are significant to _16_ _15_ - Flower Fund – The church was closed from March. Flowers were arranged for Christmas season. Page 3/6 Combined Income - We were fortunate that most members of our congregation had signed up for Parish Giving and standing orders, and the people still using envelopes sent in lump sums. Obviously, our open plate collections are down as the church was empty for many months - There was a Grant of £725 from HDPC for the upkeep of the churchyard. - Sundry donations of £1716 were received after an appeal to help cover the shortfall. - Legacies £250 was received on the death of Molly Midworth. - Insurance Claim was for money received to repair the church ceiling and is held in the restricted fund. Page 4/6 Combined Expenses - The church maintenance fees are high as we had to pay the architect for work done in 2019, and not invoiced £1260. Also, the cost of netting to protect the congregation was £900. - The church running expenses has to cover electricity, water, fire extinguishers, photocopier machine, telephone, insurance for Church Centre & Church, and organ maintenance. These are all standard costs that closure of the Church does not stop. - Carol Legg resigned from the Parish secretary which has reduced our payroll expenses. The accounts paperwork has now been sent to Portsmouth University whose students are completing the Independent Review as a training exercise. ## **11. Deanery Synod Report** During the last year due to Covid-19 all deanery synod meetings in church were cancelled and those that were on zoom, which was difficult for some. Due to the pandemic, there has been a large shortfall in parish share contributions and other incomes for example plate collections and hall hire etc. Because of this a new deanery plan has been introduced and all parishes have been asked to discuss and pass their thought back to the deanery .it may mean structural changes with merging of parishes the plan is a thriving church managing with 20% less income a difficult thing to achieve. There will be more information in the coming months we wish them well in this difficult task. _Veronica Brice Deanery Synod Rep_ ## **12. Treasurers Report** ## **Treasurers Report on 2020 accounts for APM 2021** Starting with the Groups, I would like to highlight the following: 1. Church Centre – The Light & Heat column is increased by a Quarterly expenditure of Gas for quarter Dec 2019 (£550) not included in previous year, and £82 electricity for Dec 2019. The accounts are now in line. ## _Valerie Griffiths_ • General maintenance had to be done to the boiler and heating system and the potholes were filled in the car park. The figure paid for labour to the caretaker has been split on pro-rata between Cleaning and Maintenance figures instead of showing one total as Secretary & Caretaker. The coffee shop gave donations to the Church of £196. - Due to the Coronavirus the Centre has mainly been closed which has reduced income. - Magazine account –Only printed 3 months magazines. - Social Group- Only 2 events held, Shrove Tuesday and Bingo. Money was kept in the Social a/c. Bank is holding £800. - Draw – Collection only covered first 3 months. Church was donated £230 and £595 was given in prizes leaving a balance of £40 _18_ _17_ ## **14. Accounts –** Attached separately. ## **15. The Future** Holy Trinity is committed to engaging fully in the Deanery Consultations. Over the next year in line with the consultations we will be preparing a mission action plan and reviewing governance. _Space left for notes._ _19_ Page 1/6 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COIJNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY.

The charity’s trustees 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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act - to state 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 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 - 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.
