CHRIST CHURCH BARNET ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Aim and purpose

Christ Church Barnet Parochial Church Council (PCC) has responsibility for cooperating with the incumbent in ‘promoting the ecclesiastical parish and the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’ . Andy Rimmer began his ministry here at Christ Church in September 2017 and has continued to lead the church in a period of continued growth. James Herring (Associate Minister), Julian Desborough (LLM) and Carol Betts (LLM) continue to assist. The Core Leadership Team comprises, James Herring, Ken Morton (Warden), Tanuja Nicholls (Warden), Mary Rimmer, Julian Desborough and Carol Betts. Revd. Peter Liddelow continues to conduct or assist at some services and Revd. Ivy Crawford leads communion twice monthly at the 9am services. Our staff Ministry team include Pipe Figueroa (Youth Worker – Appointed February 2021), and Julie Lewis (Children & Families’ Worker). In addition to this we have had the joy of two placement students from Oak Hill College and London School of Theology.

Objectives and activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to become part of the worshipping community at Christ Church. The council continues to develop the strategy behind the vision statement ‘The Transformation of Barnet and Beyond with the Love of Jesus One Life at a Time’ .

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC consider the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

To promote these activities, it is important that we maintain the fabric and improve the facilities of the church and of the linked Pennefather Hall, which is owned by a separate charitable trust. The Open Door Centre (next door to the church), owned by a further charitable trust, shares the same mission statement and provides further opportunities to reach the wider community.

Areas of Ministry (Achievements and performance)

Worship and Evangelism

Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture and music and seek to involve the many groups that live in the parish, hence a range of worship services are offered that are both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling to the congregation and the wider community. Volunteers form an informal worship band at the 10.45am service led by James Herring. Recorded music is used at other services.

Our normal Sunday schedule, when not compromised by the need to comply with ever evolving Covid Pandemic regulations, is designed to accommodate for the differing needs of the parish community (which reflect the diverse range of people and ages), by offering a traditional 9am Common Worship service (with Communion twice a month), a contemporary 10.45am service (with Communion once a month and which includes full children’s and youth work). In addition, from September 2021, we have instigated an informal 7:30pm ‘Holy Spirit’ worship service on

1

the third Sunday of each month. The main opportunity for most of the church to come together is during refreshments between the 9am and 10.45am services. In terms of attendance: 65-80 adults normally attend at 9am; 80-120 adults and 35-60 children/youth are present at 10.45am; 40-50 attend every third Sunday at 7.30pm.

There are 290 people on the Church Electoral roll, 197 of whom are not resident in the parish.

Due to the pandemic (and a third lockdown) from January until March 2021, we offered one 10am service to meet the needs of the whole congregation – this was both livestreamed and also in person. From Sunday 28[th] March we returned to two services (9am and 10.45am) which were both in person and also livestreamed. We also held a monthly Holy Spirit evening service in the autumn term.

We have also held special services including Mothering Sunday, Father’s Day, Harvest and Remembrance Sunday. In addition, we held three baptism services and one confirmation service in 2021 with 20 people being baptised, and 5 confirmed. Christmas services took the shape of a Victorian Style Christingle Service and a Carol service, All Age Nativity, Christmas Eve Midnight Service and an All Age Celebration on Christmas Day. We also held a family Walkabout Nativity on Barnet High Street.

The ability to celebrate and hold thanksgiving services for key milestones has continued to be compromised due to the pandemic regulations, we have however held 2 weddings, 3 funerals and 1 thanksgiving service. An annual service of remembrance and thanksgiving was held in church and online for those members of the church and community who had died in the past year and in previous years.

Pastoral Care, Prayer and Discipleship

Prayer is an important feature in our Connect Groups, our Leadership Meetings and every event that takes place at Christ Church. We are always looking for ways in which we can encourage people in their own prayer lives and widen our corporate prayer coverage to encompass the whole life of the church in a deeper way.

Other Activities

Throughout 2021 regular events took place in the church or hall, or online, during the week and on Sundays. For example:

The halls are let and used by the community for various activities including children’s parties, training events, baby, toddler and children’s groups, U3A classes, National Childbirth Trust, Barnet Society, Barnet History Society and a baby sensory group. These were significantly curtailed due to the pandemic during 2020 but have gradually been returning in 2021. A preschool uses part of the Pennefather Hall every day of the week during term time.

We continue to employ Ian Gray as our Premises Manager, Ildi Esze as Cleaner, Pat Blyth as the Parish Administrator and Jo Penn as Operations Manager. We continue to be blessed by the many volunteers who give of their time and skills for the life of the church.

Our website is visited regularly, and we use ChurchSuite as the main information platform for church members, providing automated updates of church events and rotas, and managing regular email updates including encouragement from the Vicar. Groups throughout the church also use social media sites to communicate with one another and the community. The church has dedicated Facebook and Instagram accounts. Communication with the congregation also continues by more traditional methods such as a monthly notice sheet and notices at Sunday services. Our Data Protection and Privacy Policy is in place and up to date.

Compassion Ministry

£2,446 was spent during the year on our Compassion Ministry leaving a balance of £4,295 to carry forward as at 31 December 2021. The Compassion fund continues to support those who are struggling under normal circumstances, and also as a direct result of the pandemic and as a result of post pandemic issues. The Food Bank continues to provide a much-needed service to people in crisis in Chipping Barnet and the adjacent area, with regular food donations from members of the congregation and from local schools and other agencies. Volunteers prepare the bags and sort and distribute food. We are also a corporate member of the Chipping Barnet Trussell Trust foodbank, and several church members volunteer at this food bank.

We launched the Barnet CAP Debt Centre in July 2021 with the support of two other churches (the Stable and St James’ New Barnet), CCB is the Partner Church with CAP. We held a successful community launch at the Open Door Centre in September 2021 attended by the Mayor and Theresa Villiers MP. We also support ‘Renew’, a project launched by Kay Gray (a member of the congregation) providing furniture and household goods to those being rehoused following homelessness, domestic violence, or being in care. We support the HAB/joint churches Winter Shelter in March by providing evening meals & breakfast for guests at their

3

centre in Golders Green.

Mission

Supporting Mission means helping to equip others to reach people with the Good News of Jesus and we support people and organisations in the UK and overseas. 15% of our overall expenditure is given to mission and charitable causes. For our mission partners the main financial support (£16,900) is to the John family in Harpenden. Danny John runs ‘Care2Share’ which is connected with Churches in India. We also support Clive and Glenda McMinn at the Bettaway Community Church in Delft, Cape Town, South Africa and £5,915 was given during the year. We also support Paul Woodington and his family, former church members, working with Mission Aviation Fellowship in Papua New Guinea (£5,388), Message Trust and the work of Sola Ayodeji in Manchester (£3,304), and the Scutt family in Malawi (£3,679). Further amounts were given to other mission agencies and individuals during the year, including £4,208 to Samara’s Aid.

Children and Youth

An average of 50-60 children and young people regularly attend Church on Sunday mornings since we returned in April 2021, with age-appropriate groups for 0-16s. About 80 children attend our uniformed organisations, which meet weekly during term time, Boys Brigade had their final meeting at CCB in July but Rainbows and Brownies continue to meet as before.

Our ministry extends to Christ Church Primary school and other local schools, and we have provided online and in person assemblies. Julie Lewis, Pipe Figueroa & James Herring have worked hard to enable the youth and children’s ministry to continue effectively & flourish with the support of a team of volunteers.

Central Barnet Deanery Report

The first meeting of the new Barnet Deanery was held on Zoom on 24[th] February 2021. At the 2021 APCM Steve Bull and Julian Desborough (as Lay Minister) were re-elected to synod, along with new member Graham Thomas.

Ecumenical relationships

The church is a member of Churches Together for Chipping Barnet. Two members of Christ Church serve as trustees of Barnet Churches Action, a charity set up by Churches Together to run Hope Corner Community Centre, the primary ecumenical outreach project on the Dollis Valley Estate and Underhill Ward. Members of the church also support the work of Barnet Community Projects, which operates out of the Rainbow Centre on the estate.

Buildings

2021 has seen huge redecorative work undertaken on the fabric of the building, including the Food Bank Store, Premises Office, Toilet & Stairs, the Baker Room and the Pennefather Hall. During the course of the Hall decorating, asbestos was discovered, which necessitated professional removal as well as the need for making good in the Hall, the nursery room and also on the roof. A number of leaded windows in the Roberts Room have also been repaired or replaced.

The Open Door Centre continues to be very popular, and attracted many visitors since reopening in 2021, returning to pre-pandemic levels by December. Andy Wright took over as Chair (from David Parry) in January 2021

Financial review

Total receipts amounted to £339,970 of which £229,784 was received through the planned giving scheme and £47,734 was tax recovered under Gift Aid. Total expenditure amounted to £350,731 including £86,500 as our contribution to the diocesan parish share. We made grants for mission and charitable causes including CCB related activities (e.g. CAP,

4

Foodbank) of £53,300 which amounts to 15% of total expenditure. The net result is that expenditure exceeded income for the year by £10,761. There are reserves at the end of the year of £137,146 of which £92,627 is on general fund, £16,208 on designated funds and £28,311 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

In line with Charity Commission guidance it is the policy of the PCC to maintain, if possible, a balance on its unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. The balance at 31 December 2021 of £108,835 represents about three and a half months.

Volunteers

Volunteers play significant roles in all the varied activities in which we are involved, both on our premises and in the community, the financial value of this cannot be quantified. 2021 saw many challenges in terms of volunteers being unable to come forward due to the constraints of the pandemic.

Structure, governance and management

The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and, from 6 May 2009, is a charity registered with the Charity Commission under charity registration number 1129436. Registration is in the name of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church South Mimms.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Membership of the PCC consists of our clergy and churchwardens, 8 PCC members (it carried 4 vacancies) and three deanery synod members who are elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral role of the church. Lay Ministers are included as well. PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. We aim that PCC members will have differing abilities and interests and level of expertise so that it may function more effectively. New members have some induction and are made aware of their responsibilities. Training is encouraged where it is considered beneficial.

The full PCC met 6 times during the year, and the APCM was held online in April 2021.

The PCC was assisted by the Buildings and Business Team (BBT) and the Mission Committee. A Buildings’ Vision group also provided input into long-term strategy for the buildings. Apart from BBT, which reports all its business directly to PCC, these committees are informal but are responsible to the PCC and provide recommendations accordingly. The chairperson of the John Trotter Trust also reports to the PCC on a regular basis. This was David Parry until January 2021, and is now Andy Wright.

The BBT has reviewed the major risks to which the PCC and the church are exposed and is ensuring that systems are established to mitigate those risks. Insurance policies are in place to cover appropriate risks to church buildings, employees of the PCC and public liability and these were reviewed. Health and safety issues have been discussed and updated during the year and are monitored on a regular basis. Our safeguarding policy is in place and is reviewed annually and there are procedures laid down that must be followed to obtain the necessary disclosure for those people working with young children and vulnerable adults. Liz Seaton is appointed by the PCC as our Safeguarding Officer and reports to the PCC on a regular basis. Jen McDaid was our Children’s Champion until November 2021. The PCC confirms that it has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

5

The Mission Committee is led by Revd. Andy Rimmer. It focuses on the missionaries and organisations that we support, working to keep mission a key part of our Christ Church identity. The members include a church rep. for each mission partner.

CHRIST CHURCH BARNET PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCC’s, and with the Regulations ‘true and fair view’ provisions, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS102).

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102.

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.

Fund accounting

The general fund represents the unrestricted fund, which is available for use at the discretion of the PCC members in furtherance of the general objectives of the church, and which has not been designated for any other particular purpose.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by PCC members for a particular purpose.

Restricted funds represent funds which are to be used in accordance with specific instructions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the church for particular purposes.

Income

All income is recognised once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income to which they relate is received. Legacies are accounted when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts are readily quantifiable. Dividends and interest are accounted for when received.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) donated services and the time spent by volunteers, of which the church is heavily dependent in order to achieve its aims, are not included in income as the economic benefit cannot be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the church. Governance costs

9

are those costs incurred in connection with the independent examination of the statutory financial statements and the cost of any legal advice to PCC members on governance or constitutional matters.

Fixed assets

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable 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, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. All expenditure incurred during the year to renew, improve or add to them is written off as an expense.

Office equipment used within 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.

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

Debtors

Other debtors and prepayments are included in the accounts at the amount owing to the PCC at the balance sheet or expenditure that has been prepaid as at that date.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank includes cash held on short term deposit with the CBF Church of England funds.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount where the church has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Financial instruments

The church only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

12. Related party transactions

The PCC members are considered the key management personnel of the church. No remuneration is paid directly to key management personnel, although the church contributes to the diocesan fund and the incumbent, who has overall responsibility for promoting the whole mission of the church, is remunerated directly by the diocese.

Income from planned giving includes £46,790 received from PCC members.

13. Trustees of Pennefather Hall

The trustees of the Pennefather Hall own the Pennefather Hall and the property at 8 Wentworth Road which is the residence of the associate minister of Christ Church.

The trustees of the Pennefather Hall bear the costs of the running expenses of the hall, including minor repairs, and receive income from lettings. Any deficit is funded by the PCC. The buildings insurance of 8 Wentworth Road is also borne by the trustees of the Pennefather Hall and a charge is made to the PCC to cover this.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST CHURCH BARNET PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
