Holy Trinity Financial Report 2022 

23 March 2023 



##  **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

This report covers the financial year and calendar year 2022, ending 31 December 2022. This year will again be remembered for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as was 2021, however as the year progressed so Covid restrictions were eased, the long-lasting effects of Covid do continue to affect every single aspect of Holy Trinity’s significant spectrum of activities from Praise and Worship, Toddlers and through to Finances. However, as may be realized from the annual accounts, the General Fund has somewhat recovered slightly from the significantly reduced 2020 offerings and the then marginally increased 2021 offerings. 

Total receipts on the ordinary unrestricted fund, which represent the General Fund only, were £146,926 and are detailed in the Financial Statements. For direct comparison purpose with year (2019) the unrestricted General Fund income was £164,346. Hence a reduction on income, 2022 cf 2019 of £17,420. Total expenditure in the year from such income amounted to £146,169. The largest item was our Parish Share of £97,554 which was paid to the Diocese of Bath and Wells to enable it to provide clergy and support services. The net result for these funds was a small surfeit of £757 compared with a surfeit of £23,626 in 2019 and surfeit of £25,615 in 2018. 

Designated Funds total receipts were £53,349 and expenditure was £44,768 resulting in a surfeit of £8,580. These figures cover all designated Funds held by Holy Trinity. The funds mostly affected are the Hall; the Nurse (little income just expenditure), and the Bridge, income affected by recovering from Covid effects. 

Restricted Funds, which are; Children & Youth, Debt Centre, Fabric and the Redevelopment Funds had an income of £43,461 and an expenditure of £47,519 resulting in a deficit of £4,058. The Children and Youth Fund and Debt Centre Funds account for this deficit. However, it must be realised that when Andrew and Elizabeth Alden were appointed to be Young Adults Ministry representatives in Frome and surrounding villages then Holy Trinity was asked to hold a Fund for their work. This Fund, YAM REST is also now a restricted fund but does not feature in the figures noted above. This YAM REST fund should not be considered as being available for any HTF uses. 

The PCC has continued its long-standing policy of giving (tithes) 10% of general income to mission which for 2022 has included support for ministry in Bitola, North Macedonia and our association with the fledgling evangelical church there through TEN, however charitable giving in 2022 has not reached that %age being at £9,384 compared with giving at £125,816. 

Toddlers has significantly recovered from year 2021 and has consequently provided Toddler’s contribution of the usual £1,000 towards the C & Y fund. 

The Fabric Fund has a negative balance of £5,710, this negative balance is slowly being reduced as income is realised from investment allocated only to Fabric, through 2022 this income amounted to £722 

The Redevelopment (restricted) Fund was also resourced by a loan from The Diocese for £100,000 which is due for repayment over 10 years (2017-2027) repayments made to the end of this report period total £60,000. The redevelopment Fund stands at a negative £29,472 at the year-end which takes account of the outstanding £40,000 loan liability. Following a lump sum given in 2021, we were able to service the Diocesan Loan this year, 2022, with current finances; and we should be able to service the loan from this fund, for 2023, however this may be a challenge for ensuing years. 

The Bridge account had an income of £17,288 which included Government grants (Covid related) amounted to £3,667. The Bridge expenditure was £15,411 almost entirely due to fixed costs, Rent and Maintenance, resulting in a surfeit of £1,876. The PCC previously decided to carry out significant maintenance at The Bridge through 2020, 2021 and into 2022, this maintenance cost was £3,196 during 2022. The Bridge management, led by John and Wendy Rootes have rebuilt the work of The Bridge, following the Covid restrictions being lifted to a result where a surfeit has been realised financially. 

The Hall Fund income has significantly increased following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions resulting in a small surfeit of £380, while the Hall Hire Income runs the direct Hall expenses, as previously noted in my annual reports, the General Church suffers cost for Administration and other aspects that are paid from our General Fund. The Hall is normally contra charged by the General Fund a sum to cover these appropriate costs.

Holy Trinity Church is registered with the Charity Commission as The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Holy Trinity, Frome. Registered number 1129366. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which covers three months of Parish Share payments to cover cash flow problems near the year end and to cope with unforeseen situations. Some funds are invested in CBF deposit funds. However, it can be realised from these accounts that the Church finances, having suffered due to COVID-19 comply with this policy with the current reporting year being almost balanced, Income/Expenditure. 

## **Outlook and Budget** 

We will have to service the Diocesan Loan, for the TT-TL project, at a repayment rate of £10,000 per year for the next 4 years. We currently have no plan or pledges to cover this, however this fund is in credit and can currently service the next 1 + years. 

The Children and Youth workers Fund is in a robust position. The Toddler’s fund is recovering as Toddler’s activities have re-commenced. 

Members should be aware that the Children and Youth and Debt Centre are separate funds, as is Redevelopment, and the Parish Nurse and if not specifically noted and supported by your giving then they enjoy no other income, furthermore these are Restricted Funds and monies can only be spent on their defined purposes except in extreme circumstances. 

The Church members’ giving was significantly affected by COVID-19 restrictions throughout 2020 and 2021. Recovery from this effect has occurred through 2022 but not yet fully. It may be realised from these accounts that offerings on the plate each week as cash, totaled £26.925 in 2019 but only £11,519 in 2022, a reduction of £15,406, however, standing orders and other regular giving has recovered and is similar to pre Covid levels. These reductions affect the overall church activities and the reserves held in savings. It should be realised that the surfeit in general income from pre Covid years financed the provision of our Parish Nurse and Debt Centre, in order to maintain these outreach activities, we need to return to a surfeit position of in excess of £20,000 annually 

Our Parish Share for 2022 was again based upon reporting to the diocese completed in April 2020 covering the church attendance for the previous year, 2019 (pre-Pandemic). The Diocese decided this year, 2023 our Parish Share should remain substantially the same as 2022; while the financial outlook for 2023 remains acceptable, due to our reserves in the General Fund being £48,597 we look forward to church returning to normal and regular worshipping members numbers returning to pre COVID-19 level but more importantly the associated income returning. Current habits of not carrying cash and use of Card Payments have persuaded the PCC to install a Card Donation system, however this has not been as successful as hoped. 

As an aside a Legacy to a Registered Charity, such as Holy Trinity, can be a very efficient way to reduce Inheritance Tax rates, and provide funding to the charity, the legacy is therefore significantly greater than the drawdown on inherited assets, due to the remaining taxable inheritance being taxed at a reduced rate. If anyone is interested in this matter, please talk with me.

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2015 SOFA. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **Funds** 

_Endowment funds_ are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established. 

_Restricted funds_ represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

_Designated funds_ have been set up for the designated object as indicated by their title, these funds will be disbursed only for that object purpose. 

_Unrestricted funds_ are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.96(2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, (the Terrier) which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2004 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Furthermore, all matters pertaining to the Redevelopment Works are not valued in the financial statements and are not considered as assets to be depreciated or replaced. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a reducing balance basis, at 15% for furniture and fixtures, and 15% for office equipment. Individual items of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired, and are hence not registered, assets that are considered to have exceeded a reasonable life expectancy are written off at that time. 

Investments are valued at market value 31 December 2022

Holy Trinity Financial Report 2022 

23 March 2023 



##  **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

This report covers the financial year and calendar year 2022, ending 31 December 2022. This year will again be remembered for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as was 2021, however as the year progressed so Covid restrictions were eased, the long-lasting effects of Covid do continue to affect every single aspect of Holy Trinity’s significant spectrum of activities from Praise and Worship, Toddlers and through to Finances. However, as may be realized from the annual accounts, the General Fund has somewhat recovered slightly from the significantly reduced 2020 offerings and the then marginally increased 2021 offerings. 

Total receipts on the ordinary unrestricted fund, which represent the General Fund only, were £146,926 and are detailed in the Financial Statements. For direct comparison purpose with year (2019) the unrestricted General Fund income was £164,346. Hence a reduction on income, 2022 cf 2019 of £17,420. Total expenditure in the year from such income amounted to £146,169. The largest item was our Parish Share of £97,554 which was paid to the Diocese of Bath and Wells to enable it to provide clergy and support services. The net result for these funds was a small surfeit of £757 compared with a surfeit of £23,626 in 2019 and surfeit of £25,615 in 2018. 

Designated Funds total receipts were £53,349 and expenditure was £44,768 resulting in a surfeit of £8,580. These figures cover all designated Funds held by Holy Trinity. The funds mostly affected are the Hall; the Nurse (little income just expenditure), and the Bridge, income affected by recovering from Covid effects. 

Restricted Funds, which are; Children & Youth, Debt Centre, Fabric and the Redevelopment Funds had an income of £43,461 and an expenditure of £47,519 resulting in a deficit of £4,058. The Children and Youth Fund and Debt Centre Funds account for this deficit. However, it must be realised that when Andrew and Elizabeth Alden were appointed to be Young Adults Ministry representatives in Frome and surrounding villages then Holy Trinity was asked to hold a Fund for their work. This Fund, YAM REST is also now a restricted fund but does not feature in the figures noted above. This YAM REST fund should not be considered as being available for any HTF uses. 

The PCC has continued its long-standing policy of giving (tithes) 10% of general income to mission which for 2022 has included support for ministry in Bitola, North Macedonia and our association with the fledgling evangelical church there through TEN, however charitable giving in 2022 has not reached that %age being at £9,384 compared with giving at £125,816. 

Toddlers has significantly recovered from year 2021 and has consequently provided Toddler’s contribution of the usual £1,000 towards the C & Y fund. 

The Fabric Fund has a negative balance of £5,710, this negative balance is slowly being reduced as income is realised from investment allocated only to Fabric, through 2022 this income amounted to £722 

The Redevelopment (restricted) Fund was also resourced by a loan from The Diocese for £100,000 which is due for repayment over 10 years (2017-2027) repayments made to the end of this report period total £60,000. The redevelopment Fund stands at a negative £29,472 at the year-end which takes account of the outstanding £40,000 loan liability. Following a lump sum given in 2021, we were able to service the Diocesan Loan this year, 2022, with current finances; and we should be able to service the loan from this fund, for 2023, however this may be a challenge for ensuing years. 

The Bridge account had an income of £17,288 which included Government grants (Covid related) amounted to £3,667. The Bridge expenditure was £15,411 almost entirely due to fixed costs, Rent and Maintenance, resulting in a surfeit of £1,876. The PCC previously decided to carry out significant maintenance at The Bridge through 2020, 2021 and into 2022, this maintenance cost was £3,196 during 2022. The Bridge management, led by John and Wendy Rootes have rebuilt the work of The Bridge, following the Covid restrictions being lifted to a result where a surfeit has been realised financially. 

The Hall Fund income has significantly increased following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions resulting in a small surfeit of £380, while the Hall Hire Income runs the direct Hall expenses, as previously noted in my annual reports, the General Church suffers cost for Administration and other aspects that are paid from our General Fund. The Hall is normally contra charged by the General Fund a sum to cover these appropriate costs.

Holy Trinity Church is registered with the Charity Commission as The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Holy Trinity, Frome. Registered number 1129366. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which covers three months of Parish Share payments to cover cash flow problems near the year end and to cope with unforeseen situations. Some funds are invested in CBF deposit funds. However, it can be realised from these accounts that the Church finances, having suffered due to COVID-19 comply with this policy with the current reporting year being almost balanced, Income/Expenditure. 

## **Outlook and Budget** 

We will have to service the Diocesan Loan, for the TT-TL project, at a repayment rate of £10,000 per year for the next 4 years. We currently have no plan or pledges to cover this, however this fund is in credit and can currently service the next 1 + years. 

The Children and Youth workers Fund is in a robust position. The Toddler’s fund is recovering as Toddler’s activities have re-commenced. 

Members should be aware that the Children and Youth and Debt Centre are separate funds, as is Redevelopment, and the Parish Nurse and if not specifically noted and supported by your giving then they enjoy no other income, furthermore these are Restricted Funds and monies can only be spent on their defined purposes except in extreme circumstances. 

The Church members’ giving was significantly affected by COVID-19 restrictions throughout 2020 and 2021. Recovery from this effect has occurred through 2022 but not yet fully. It may be realised from these accounts that offerings on the plate each week as cash, totaled £26.925 in 2019 but only £11,519 in 2022, a reduction of £15,406, however, standing orders and other regular giving has recovered and is similar to pre Covid levels. These reductions affect the overall church activities and the reserves held in savings. It should be realised that the surfeit in general income from pre Covid years financed the provision of our Parish Nurse and Debt Centre, in order to maintain these outreach activities, we need to return to a surfeit position of in excess of £20,000 annually 

Our Parish Share for 2022 was again based upon reporting to the diocese completed in April 2020 covering the church attendance for the previous year, 2019 (pre-Pandemic). The Diocese decided this year, 2023 our Parish Share should remain substantially the same as 2022; while the financial outlook for 2023 remains acceptable, due to our reserves in the General Fund being £48,597 we look forward to church returning to normal and regular worshipping members numbers returning to pre COVID-19 level but more importantly the associated income returning. Current habits of not carrying cash and use of Card Payments have persuaded the PCC to install a Card Donation system, however this has not been as successful as hoped. 

As an aside a Legacy to a Registered Charity, such as Holy Trinity, can be a very efficient way to reduce Inheritance Tax rates, and provide funding to the charity, the legacy is therefore significantly greater than the drawdown on inherited assets, due to the remaining taxable inheritance being taxed at a reduced rate. If anyone is interested in this matter, please talk with me.

Treasurer, HTC On Behalf of the Parochial Church Council 

Approved at PCC meeting held on 22 March 2023, with the Independent Examiner’s report being unqualified.

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2015 SOFA. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **Funds** 

_Endowment funds_ are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established. 

_Restricted funds_ represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

_Designated funds_ have been set up for the designated object as indicated by their title, these funds will be disbursed only for that object purpose. 

_Unrestricted funds_ are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.96(2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, (the Terrier) which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2004 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Furthermore, all matters pertaining to the Redevelopment Works are not valued in the financial statements and are not considered as assets to be depreciated or replaced. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a reducing balance basis, at 15% for furniture and fixtures, and 15% for office equipment. Individual items of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired, and are hence not registered, assets that are considered to have exceeded a reasonable life expectancy are written off at that time. 

Investments are valued at market value 31 December 2022

Independent examiners. report to the members of the Parochlal Church
Council of Holy Trinity Church. Frome
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 De￿rnber 2022,
which are set out on pages L to Ll
Respective respon￿bIlItieS of trnstees and examiner
The mernbers of the PCC. as the charity's trustees. are responsible for the
preparation of the accounts. The charity's tnjstees 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 pro￿ureS laFd down in the General Directions
given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5) of the
2011 Act). and
to state whether particular matters have corne to my attention.
Basis of independent examine￿. report
My examination was carried out in aox)rdance with the General Directions
given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination indudes a review of the
accounting records kept by the chaiity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those reo)rds. It also indudes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the ac￿unts, and the seeking of explanations from you
as tnjstees conceming any suth matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the eviden￿ that would be require(5 in an audit and. consequently,
I do not express an audit O￿nIOn on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examine￿, statement
In Gonnection with my examination. no Matter has come to my attention:
{1)
which gives rne reasonable cause to believe that, in any material
respect. the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011
Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accountlng records
and to comply with the ac(x)unting 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.
