## **Church attendance** 

The Church Electoral Roll was revised in April 2022; there were 113 people on the roll as presented to the APCM in May 2022 (110 in 2021). 

## **Review of 2022** 

In 2022 the Vicar, the Revd Gavin Knight, was supported by the clergy team at St Michael and All Angels: 

## **Curates** 

- Revd Clare Leal (to October 2022) 

- Revd Simon Cross (to January 2022) 

## **Part-time Associate Priests** 

- Revd Dr Nicholas Bradbury 

- Revd Mary Gurr 

- Revd Alyson Peberdy 

The Revd Clare Leal ended her curacy at St Michael’s in October 2022 when she was appointed to the incumbency of the parish of High Legh in the Diocese of Chester. 

Leah Mattinson worked on a freelance basis as Parish Manager, providing administrative support to Gavin, the Treasurer, and the Spaces Team, in addition to overseeing the administration of the Church and Church Hall. Carlos Caban worked on a freelance basis as Caretaker and Operations Assistant. 

The PCC met six times during 2022 (16 January, 20 March, 19 June, 24 July, 18 September, 20 November); the APCM was held on Sunday 22 May 2022. Much of the work in 2022 was focused on reintroducing in-person events. 

Regular Sunday morning services were held in person throughout the year, and continued to be augmented by a 30minute meditative service of Taizé worship or Silent Prayer on Sunday evenings. In the earlier part of the year, Compline was held on Zoom, as was ‘Coffee after Church’, and a series of Lent sessions of the Catechesis group, focusing on the Women of Holy Week. Bible Study groups led by Clare Leal began in-person in May 2022, and the Advent study group was also held in-person. The monthly ministry of healing was reintroduced in October 2022. Two adults and four children were confirmed in May 2022 by Bishop Humphrey Southern. 

Other church activities during the year included Lent ‘have-a-go’ workshops (making clay pots, posies for Mothering Sunday, and Easter gardens); an exhibition of four paintings called ‘A Deeper Imagining’ in June 2022, which were the subject of a sermon series; a picnic on Creation Sunday, the first Sunday of September; and the opening of the church for public mourning after the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II. The Baby & Toddler group continued to meet throughout the year on a Tuesday morning. 

During the year, the choir returned to full musical activity, singing on Sunday mornings and at three Choral Evensongs on 13 March (for the war in Ukraine), on 5 June (marking HM the Queen’s jubilee) and on 30 October (All Souls). The Advent Carol Service was a joint service with the choir from St Peter’s Wolvercote, and the traditional candlelit Service of Carols took place before Christmas. After 11 years in post, Steve Allen retired in July 2022 as Director of Music, with his last duties being to lead the St Michael’s choir for a weekend singing services in Brecon Cathedral. Duncan Saunderson was appointed as the new Director of Music, taking up his post in September 2022. Alice Stainer continued to lead the St Michael’s Choristers in weekly rehearsals and monthly contributions to worship. 

Throughout the year, the congregation continued its monthly collection of items for the Community Emergency Foodbank and Cutteslowe Community Larder, participated in the Oxford Historic Churches Trust Ride & Stride event, and supported Oxford’s homeless charities. The ECO church team reintroduced Recycle Sunday from September (on the first Sunday of the month). Several members of St Michael’s continued to work with Oxford Welcomes Refugees, helping a Palestinian family which arrived from Iraq at the end of January 2022 to resettle in Oxford. 

The Building & Fabric Team continued its work looking after the church and hall. In addition to routine maintenance tasks, work was undertaken to redevelop the former office and storeroom at the back of the Lower Hall into a selfcontained office or therapy suite. This is now available for rental. 

The Gardens Team worked on enhancing the garden, including tree-planting, made possible with a grant from the Summertown St Margaret’s Neighbourhood Forum funded by the CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy).

## **Review of 2022 (continued)** 

The church’s magazine, Guardian Angel, continued to be regularly published and distributed to 3,000 homes throughout the whole parish, but the December 2022 edition was the final one for the time being. The website (www.stmichaels-summertown.org.uk) was regularly updated with news and links to recorded and streamed services and discussion groups; in 2022, all documents for the APCM were made available on the website to reduce the environmental impact of printing. St Michael’s continues to have an active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequent arrival in the UK of many Ukrainian citizens under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, St Michael’s established a weekly Friendship Centre to support them and their hosts. This began in April 2022, and has operated weekly ever since with the support of volunteers from throughout the local community. The Friendship Centre steering committee put on various fundraising concerts and lectures during the year, marking Ukraine Independence Day with special events including a Ukrainian folk singer and an ice cream van! 

The church is a founding member of both the Cutteslowe Church Partnership and the Summertown-WolvercoteWytham Church Partnership. Sadly, one of the Partnership churches, Summertown URC, closed in March 2022, with a final service of Thanksgiving for the 178 years of Summertown URC history and ministry held in July 2022. The year closed with an invitation to the congregations of the SWWCP to complete a survey to determine the future focus of joint activities and the most effective way to continue collaboration and shared ministry into the future. 

## **Financial review** 

Unrestricted income in 2022 was £162,934 (2021: £139,706), expenditure £176,480 (2021: £133,264), leaving a deficit of £13,546 (2021: surplus of £6,442). There was also a loss in investment assets of £17,834 (2021: gain of £16,899), but as with investment gains, this loss would only be crystallized if and when the investments are sold – the value of investments can rise as well as fall depending on many economic factors beyond our control. 

We benefitted from a generous £5,000 unrestricted legacy from the estate of the Revd William Pryor. This was allocated to providing ash frames for the banners which were refurbished in 2020 by the Royal School of Needlework and funded by the legacy of Jill Marchant 

The deficit should be read in the light of two “one-off” expenditures: the first of £23,732 for the redevelopment of the former church office at the rear of the Hall – about half of this, £12,257, was to replace the whole of the Hall’s fire alarm system, the requirement to do so being triggered by the office redevelopment. The second of £3,640 was for a repair to the leaking roof of the Lady Chapel. 

Without these two capital adjustments, we would have had a surplus of just over £8,000. 

From the beginning of 2022 the activities of the Church and the hiring of Church and Hall started to shake off the legacy of the COVID pandemic with income rising again. But by way of a warning, the stewardship giving and other sundry monetary receipts fell from 2021 by £7,000 – reflecting perhaps the rising cost-of-living experienced in the latter half of 2022. In this context, it should be noted that energy costs began to rise very steeply in the last three months of 2022. In particular the gas bills for the Church for the period December-February have shot up to approximately £2,000 and for the Hall to £1,000, per month. We reflected this by increasing the hire charges for Hall and Church from the beginning of 2023. 

We were required to  review the rental we were charging for the Aldrich Road property due to the expiry of the existing tenant’s 3-year agreement. The new rate was not acceptable to the existing tenant who gave notice to leave by mid-December. Fortunately, by mid-January two Ukrainian tenants were able to take up the rental at the higher rate. 

The Parish Share continues to be a significant item of expenditure. The PCC had decided in late 2021 to continue funding at the £5,000 per month and,  looking ahead to 2023, to continue at this level for a further year. 

The PCC has noted that there was a Quinquennial inspection in 2022, which will require some substantial one-off costs in the coming year. 

The balance sheet at 31 December 2022 stands at £708,808 (2021: £738,136). The bulk of the balance sheet continues to be tied up in the Aldrich Road house (£559,277) and long-term investments (£133,000), leaving “working” capital of around £16k. This falls short of the PCC’s target of having some £150k to cover 12 month’s running costs – see Reserves Policy below.

## **Mission Giving** 

This year, the Christmas Services raised between them £400 which was split between The Oxford Winter Night Shelter (OWNS)  (£200) and The Gatehouse (£200). A contribution was made to the Fairplay Coordination Group (£283) for the production of ECO publicity leaflets. 

St Michael’s actively supported Christian Aid Week in May 2022, delivering envelopes to as many households in the parish as possible. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds may be spent on anything that is within the charitable objects of St Michael and All Angels Church. Our continued practice is to hold some of the reserves in a designated Outreach Fund. 

A long-standing restricted fund is held for development of the organ (£390). For the most part our restricted funds are minor: cash held on behalf of the Partnership Café, the Fairplay Coordination Group and the short-term Christmas Charities collections were all cleared back to zero by the end of 2022. The CIL Gardening fund from a grant received from Oxford City Council’s Community Impact Fund in 2021 retained £434 at the end of 2022. 

During the year a new, and more substantial, restricted fund was created for the Ukrainian Friendship Centre at St Michael’s, receiving donations of £7,620 and disbursing £5,073 during the year. This income includes a grant of £5,000 from the now closed United Reformed Church at Summertown, generously given as part of their winding-up. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the PCC’s policy to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet its commitments and planned activities for a twelve month period. This figure is estimated to be about £150,000 in a normal year. Post-pandemic, the net current assets (£16,531) are below this sum and the trustees intend to re-build this reserve gradually on an annual basis. 

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- and prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence. 

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 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 and other irregularities. 

The Report of the Parochial Church Council and financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the PCC and signed on their behalf by:

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **for the year ended 31st December 2022** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The Balance Sheet, Statement of Financial Activities and Notes to the Financial Statements relate to the Parochial Church Council of St Michael’s Church, Summertown. 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at fair value.  The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland - Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

Council members have identified the major risks which may affect the PCC and have taken reasonable steps to mitigate those risks. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts 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. 

A policy of retaining sufficient unrestricted reserves to finance the PCC’s planned programme and meet its future financial obligations is maintained. The policy is reviewed annually by the PCC. 

## **Income** 

## **Donations and legacies** 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is included when due. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for when received. 

## **Other ordinary income** 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## **Income from investments** 

Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable and are received gross. 

## **Gains and losses on investments** 

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. 

Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31st December. 

The PCC has absolute discretion to invest the funds of the Parochial Council; no restrictions are placed on these powers.  The Council’s policy for the selection of investments for the charity is to seek to achieve a balance between income and capital growth and that the investments held have a low risk. 

## **Expenditure** 

## **Grants** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church** 

The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when payable.

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by S.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. 

## **Summertown Church Hall** 

No value has been included in these accounts for this building, nor the land it is on. 

The hall was built with stone and roof timbers from the original St John's Church (now demolished) in Summertown. Due to its age and provenance its value is not easily compared to modern equivalents and there are few older "comparators". It stands uniquely within the parish. The War Memorial lies within its grounds. As with the main church building the hall requires permission from the Diocese for disposal. 

The lower and upper halls are approximately 90 and 123 square meters, and have toilet and kitchen facilities. The building and gardens are well-maintained and are in daily use for social, educational and religious purposes. 

## **Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment** 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **59 Aldrich Road** 

This freehold property is formally owned by DIOCESAN TRUSTEES (OXFORD) LIMITED, who hold it in Trust for the PCC of St Michael and All Angels Church, Summertown. It is valued as an asset at its purchase price of £559,277 (including £600 for existing installed white goods). The property will not be depreciated on the basis that it is held as an investment property in accordance with FRS 102, and thereby reflected at fair value, with revaluations being recorded in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are valued at fair value at 31 December 2022. 

## **Current assets** 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank. 

## **2. AIM AND USE OF FUNDS** 

## **Designated** 

In 2018 the PCC decided to designate £100,000 of unrestricted funds for future outreach projects. This continues but with no specific proposals to date. 

## **Restricted** 

The Organ Fund is for improvements to the Church organ.  Funds are managed for the Oxford Fairplay Coordinating Group and for the Partnership Café. Oxford City Council awarded a grant from their “Community Infrastructure Levy” (CIL) fund for the development and maintenance of the church garden. The fund for the Ukrainian Friendship Centre at St Michael’s is maintained for exclusive use in running the Centre.
