## For the year ended 31 December 2021 SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 10 ## C. ## SEALE, PUTTENHAM & WANBOROUGH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 DECEMBER 2021 ## INTRODUCTION In compliance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of Seale, Puttenham & Wanborough have prepared this report and the attached financial statements. The report summarises the activities and plans of the PCC, who now submit it for review by parishioners at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) to be held on Friday 20th May at 7pm online with Zoom. ## ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION ## Parochial Church Council The Parochial Church Council is a body corporate established by the Church of England.

SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 11 ## RECTOR’S REPORT The true scale of the impact of Lockdown is now being calculated in the Diocese and across the Church of England. All churches have seen a decline in those attending for worship as much as 50% recorded in some cases, all churches have financially struggled with a huge decline in income and consequently some are now facing “Quota poverty”. Two years of dormancy has physically impacted on buildings with damage to bells and clocks and other equipment failure, all of which cost to be repaired. The fabric reports include areas in which our buildings have been physically impacted by lockdown. SPW has been affected along with others. However thanks to wise PCC leadership in meeting the challenges of lockdown without compromising regular worship, astute financial management when income is restricted, fund-raising initiatives and increased giving we are slowly getting back to a more healthy and viable position within the network of churches that make up the Diocese. This is good news and sets us on a secure footing to implement our exciting mission and ministry plans for the future. Pastorally, we have conducted several memorial services and the burial of cremated remains, all of which were not possible during lockdown. Weddings have been on hold as well as baptisms but 2021 saw these occasional offices resume. Our collections for FOOD AID resulted in half a ton of vital food being collected in the Parish and sent to the persecuted church in the world. Our two nursing homes continue to isolate and it is hoped services there will soon be possible. A plan to visit every household in the United Parish, street by street , lane by lane, will get underway when it is safe to do so. A welcome card will be made available for every home who wishes to receive one. Our church website is improving with each passing month and Anne Concanen is doing a great job putting in the content we want and making it visually more eye catching. We have made some progress on getting quotes for digitisation in all four churches to allow for streaming of services etc. but realise there is no cheap way of doing this and unless funds are forthcoming it will take time before we can equip one church with internet and all that follows from that. I want to thank our Churchwardens, PCC members and focus group members for guiding us through some challenging times and for their support in dealing with so many difficult decisions. The financial team have also been exceptionally busy with outstanding work by Mike Thorpe including Mike Cloughley who keeps our giving scheme buoyant. The Ministry Team have been very flexible in adapting to the changing patterns of worship and I am ever appreciative of all they give in time and ministry. I commend all the reports in this year-end account with immense gratitude for works completed as a labour of love by so many people in our parish, often unseen, who keep the ecclesiastical wheels turning and our gathered church fellowship possible. In closing I thank Anne Concanen for her Safeguarding role which has become a major focus in parish life and to which she gives meticulous attention, I wish to congratulate her also for another well organised APCM report along with stunning pictures of the stained-glass Marys in our Parish. Every Blessing, Rector SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 12 ## MEETINGS There were 4 full meetings of the PCC, an additional 6 meetings involving focus groups and three electronic PCC resolutions that required to be passed during 2021, all via Zoom. The PCC meetings covered many different areas of business but monitoring the development of Covid was vital to protect our church congregations. The PCC therefore regretfully decided to temporarily close the churches at the beginning of February but were pleased to discuss the gradual reopening of churches in the second half of the year. As a great deal of time in 2020 was spent debating finances and the disposition of Glebe Cottage, members of the PCC were delighted to hear and discuss plans for making this property ready for the rent market. Our thanks go out to our Treasurer and all those involved in this project. Our Treasurer indicated that he was optimistic that the 2021 accounts would present a more favourable position than 2020 largely due to the arrangements over Glebe Cottage. However, we still needed to do some serious fundraising and a standing committee was set up to develop ideas. Other issues discussed and dealt with ranged from safeguarding, health and safety and church repairs to the Parish Giving Scheme, QR codes and the recall of registers due to changes in wedding regulation. All decisions were made after very careful consideration and with the very best interests of all our parishioners in mind so an application for filming at Wanborough Church was finally rejected because of the questionable content of the production. Thanks to all members of the PCC for their time, hard work and expertise. ## SAFEGUARDING Anne Concanen As a PCC we are committed to the support, nurture and protection of everyone in our church community and, under the “Promoting a Safer Church” policy, creating a safe and caring place for all. We are committed to ensure that the safeguarding guidelines are followed in all parish activities and to ensure that any outside organisations hiring church premises comply with the parish safeguarding policy for children, young people and vulnerable adults. To date there have been no concerns raised. Currently every member of the PCC has completed the online Core Basic Awareness Training. This lasts three years. Recent Diocesan changes in safeguarding training will mean that PCC members will also be able to increase their safeguarding knowledge on their next review. People involved in leadership roles are also regularly DBS cleared as are those working with children for Open the Book. As Safeguarding Officer, I am here to respond to any concerns about children or adults in this parish, to make sure that proper advice is sought and to see that correct referrals are made. Historic or current matters relating to concerns and allegations of abuse by or against church officers are to be reported to me and, in liaison with the incumbent, these will be referred to the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. At the end of the year the “Parish Safeguarding Dashboard” was introduced to help parishes coordinate their safeguarding care and we will be developing this in 2022. ## THE ELECTORAL ROLL The Electoral Roll numbers up until December 2021 |The Electoral Roll numbers up|until December 2021|

The PCC agreed a pattern of weekly services at Seale and Puttenham with alternate weeks at Sands and Wanborough. It was also agreed to keep the Sunday evening Zoom services so that people could have the choice to remain at home or physically attend church. Attendances increased slowly as people found greater confidence in the vaccine and booster programmes. Most of the festival services in the first part of 2021 were celebrated on Zoom and later in the year in person with good attendances including an open churches week for parishioners to grieve the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. ## YOUNG FAMILIES Confidence amongst young families to attend church services was diminished as the Omicron virus began to affect children in schools and colleges. The lockdown has created a situation in which many young families have found alternatives to attending church services and this has become a national challenge. It will take time to win back this generation of young worshippers and the trend predicts a pattern of worship that is less frequent but appealing to all-ages. The local school at Puttenham continued to operate in bubbles with no visits to the Parish and limited assemblies involving the Rector and Open the Book. ## PARISH BIBLE STUDY Marion Thorpe Due to the Covid restrictions, the monthly Parish Bible Study group meetings in 2021 were conducted via ZOOM. The lifting of the restrictions has allowed us to resume the regular meetings in the Church of The Good Shepherd, on the 4[th] Wednesday of every month, between 2.30-3.30. Whether by ZOOM or in person, each meeting provides the opportunity to discuss the previous month’s readings from the Bible Reading fellowship publication New Daylight, and to share which passages and contributors have particularly spoken to us; the aim is to open up the discussions by inviting questions and comments about concepts which each of us may find challenging or less easy to understand. For those who are interested in the possibility of joining the group, members follow the readings and commentaries on a themed collection of passages in New Daylight, one of the Bible Reading Fellowship publications. If you have any queries, and/or would like to join the group, please contact Marion Thorpe on 01252 783102 New members are most welcome. ## “OPEN THE BOOK” Anne Concanen Under the auspices of the PCC, our Parish “Open the Book” volunteers have very successfully been taking “Open the Book” assemblies in Puttenham School since January 2017. Unfortunately Covid regulations halted most of our normal activities in 2021. We continued to send our animated stories into school with voice overs done by the volunteers and the children could see them on a screen in their classrooms. The children especially loved the winking donkey for the Palm Sunday story. During the Autumn term we tried some simple assemblies in school with 2 story tellers narrating our animated videos but the proposed shadow puppet Nativity had to be abandoned because of the rise in Covid numbers. We are now really looking forward to going back into school again in 2022. If you would like to join our story teller team please contact - Anne Concanen on 01483 811017. SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 14 ## MUSIC IN THE PARISH Geoff Graham 2021 saw the lifting of restrictions on singing and a tentative return to the choir stalls. However, choir numbers are much reduced. We have reinstated weekly choir practices at St John the Baptist only, to which singers from both Puttenham and Seale are invited, since we usually have the same hymns at both churches. For logistical reasons, choir practices at Seale are currently unviable. By popular request, our practices alternate between 2.30 pm and 7.00 pm, each dealing with at least two Sundays in advance. Our grateful thanks are due to Juliana Baxter and David Melville, who devote much of their time to rehearsing for those services which I am unable to cover. There has, and will continue to be the occasional service when it is necessary to use pre-recorded organ accompaniments. I try to keep these to an absolute minimum and share them evenly between Seale and Puttenham. Please bear with us when this is unavoidable. Finally, as noted above, we are increasingly short of choir members. I would urge anyone who enjoys singing to consider joining one or other of our choirs. Feel free to call me on 07870 146635 to discuss. ## PUTTENHAM AND SEALE BELL TOWERS Andrew Baxter, Kevin Green Very little ringing took place in 2021 because of the various lockdowns and requirement for distancing. There was occasional chiming for a Sunday service. A single bell was tolled at Puttenham on three occasions during the year: - on 23 March for the National Day of Reflection; - half-muffled on 10 April following the death of Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh; - half-muffled on Remembrance Sunday. Seale Tower had fewer opportunities to ring because birds had built a number of nests in the ringing chamber and these could not be cleared out until later in the year. ## HEALTH & SAFETY All risk assessments have been carried out in the 4 churches including churchyards and curtilage. PAT testing is up to date on all electrical equipment and fire extinguisher and alarms are in good working order. ## FABRIC MAINTENANCE Church Architect: Our new Inspecting Architect for 2021 was John Bailey BA, BArch, RIBA, AABC. SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 15 ## Seale and The Sands Ann Payne ## The Church of St Laurence Regular worship has taken place with the implementation of all covid rules in place. Works carried out included boiler service, replacement of faulty flood light and faulty photocell. Also the cleaning and removal of jackdaw nests from the bell tower. The Church Clock at Seale was investigated by the Cumbria Clock company and a winding mechanism was in need of replacement. Works on this item are on-going. The bulging wall on the East end of the churchyard is under consideration for repair Inspection of Glebe Cottage in August 2021 found everything to be in good condition. ## The Church of the Good Shepherd Twice monthly services commenced in August 2021 with implementation of all Covid safety rules in place. The waterproof shell of the Sands extension commenced in December 2021, with the Shepherd’s Rest Cafe still being closed. ## Both Churches – Both churches have obtained satisfactory electrical reports PAT testing and fire extinguisher tests. Voluntary churchyard and garden maintenance has been carried out regularly throughout the year and we remain grateful to all those who have contributed to this essential work. ## Puttenham Andrew Baxter ## The Church of St John the Baptist All regular maintenance and servicing took place. A significant repair to replace the gas valve in the heating boiler was required in October. Some remaining electrical work on the organ was completed, to finish the restoration started in early 2020. Most of the roof lights in the church were converted to LED some years ago; most other light fittings were converted this year. Quotes have been invited for the pointing works needed for the Church Tower and the tracery repairs required for the north nave window. ## Wanborough Anne Concanen ## The Church of St Bartholomew We were very pleased to open Wanborough for services once again. From August 2021, a twice monthly service was held with all Covid safety rules in place. This year the building was open for the Heritage weekend and over 370 visitors came to find out more about Wanborough Church and St Bartholomew. During 2021 general maintenance work was done including PAT testing and servicing the fire extinguishers. The water leak that had appeared in the churchyard near the west end of the church was located and repaired and a rook’s nest, that had silenced the bell, was cleared from the bell cote. The Church had its Quinquennial inspection in March. John Bailey reported that “there are no fundamental or significant repair issues” but that there were some areas that needed attention largely associated with repointing. A programme of work was being considered. SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 16 ## Headteacher: Anna De Filippis ## News from Puttenham CofE Infant School ## Academic Year 2021-2022 It has been wonderful to return to school with many of the Covid-19 restrictions removed allowing us to welcome parents and visitors back for school events. ## Admissions and transition We currently have 94 children on roll. We welcomed 30 children into the Reception class in September with their families and three children into Year 1. We have now reduced our published admission number to 30 children. ## Links with Community We have continued our collaboration with other local schools in the Farnham Confederation. We focus on writing, reading, maths teaching and enrichment activities such as sporting events and workshops. We have been well–supported by Puttenham Church with the fortnightly collective worship assemblies led by the Rector and weekly Open the Book assemblies. We thank the members of the Open the Book team for continuing to provide the school with recorded assemblies for the children during lockdown. The Church services that have taken place include Harvest, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, St John the Baptist, Easter and our Leavers’ Service. The school won the Gold Award for the annual Guildford Schools in Bloom competition last year. ## Events in School Annual and seasonal events have taken place in school including enrichment learning weeks such as creative and book weeks. The Parish Council kindly provide the site which enables each class to learn in the outdoor area through our Forest School programme.. We had visits from Susie Darnton, a local author on World Book Day. This year the classes are carrying out trips to Wisley, Watt’s gallery, Painshill Park, Portsmouth Sea life, Bocketts farm park and Barfield activity camp. We will also be part of the Puttenham and Seale and Sands shows this year. The Year 2 children will be performing maypole dances at both events. ## Building Programmes We are currently undergoing extensive roof replacement on our flat roof. SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 17 ## PUTTENHAM SCHOOL HOUSE John Hewitson The Management Committee was established in 1987 by the PCC to look after School House and supervise the letting of this listed building when not required for the use of the Head Teacher of Puttenham Church of England School. It reported a cash balance of £34,468 at the end of 2021. There was a change of tenancy at the turn of the year and this enabled significant repair and maintenance work to be carried out while the property was unoccupied. Total expenditure this year is expected to exceed £10,000. ( NB. Funds mentioned here are not reported as part of the Annual Accounts.) ## GODALMING DEANERY SYNOD 2021 Anne Concanen Deanery Synod met 3 times on Zoom during 2021. As it had not met in 2020, the January meeting opened with new members and a change of personnel. A new Lay Chair was still to be found. The meeting considered new standing orders, future uses of Deanery funds and the new Godalming Deanery Strategy. In order to support this strategy, Synod members were asked to discuss with PCCs the question “Where can we offer support or expertise for one off needs?” At the June meeting Jackie Tickner, the new Lay Chair, was introduce to Synod. The Synod discussed ideas on “support and expertise” that PCCs had offered and considered the “Living in Love and Faith” course. Members of Synod were reminded of the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Deanery in September and Parishes were encouraged to invite people to attend his talk. At the November meeting Synod decided it needed to make firm plans on what to do with its funds based on the new Standing Orders. Also under discussion was the health of the parishes and the pilot scheme to explore how to share skills between parishes. Members of Synod were also introduced to the new Parish Safeguarding Dashboard. ## VILLAGE NEWS Jane Randell (Lead Editor) The Village News continues to be produced monthly under the editorship of Mary Adkins, Dee Bramley, Simon Prichard and Jane Randell. There has continued to be a reduction in the number of articles due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic and the result is that usually the size of the magazine has had to be reduced by 4 pages. The number of copies printed has not changed from the 590 of recent years and the indication is that the numbers being delivered is now increasing. The financial situation in December 2021 enabled the editors to agree to donate £1,000 to SPW PCC, £200 to Phyllis Tuckwell and £100 each to Seale Village Hall, the Marwick Hall, Wanborough Village Hall and The Sands Room. It was also agreed that there was no reason to increase the cost of the adverts or the magazine. At December 2021 the accounts showed that there would be a surplus of about £150 assuming no advertising income had been received. ## FUNDRAISING EVENTS DURING 2021 During the second part of 2021 ideas were put forward to be considered in a fund raising plan to be developed over the coming years. In 2021 money was raised through the Puttenham 100 Club, the Christmas Fair, Concerts, the Village News and a Bric-a-Brac sale. The total raised was £7,154. Our grateful thanks to all the organisers and to all those who contributed. More events are planned for 2022. SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 18 ## REVIEW OF FINANCE Mike Thorpe ## FINANCE COMMENTARY FOR YEAR ENDED 31/12/2021 Expenditure exceeded income in 2021 but we were able to meet the commitments that fell due during the year without selling investments. Our activities were adversely affected by the pandemic quite materially. We still owe a significant part of the 2020 parish share that we were not able to pay during that year. We have explained to the diocese that our first goal has been to meet our commitments in 2021 and that it seems reasonable to believe that we should be able to repay the debt over four or five years. Several income streams in 2021 were reduced but Glebe Cottage was refurbished and let in February 2021. This was achieved at no cost to the church due to the generosity and leadership of Alan Chandler with invaluable contributions of time and talents from members of the community whom we thank warmly. Early in the year Investec, our then financial advisor, informed us that the value of our investments managed by them had fallen below the value at which they could offer us a discretionary service. This meant that they could no longer assure the PCC that our investments would meet our requirements for ethical investments. Following several meetings a PCC subcommittee decided to sell the holdings managed by Investec. The proceeds were reinvested in funds managed by Schroders and Churches, Charities and Local Authorities (CCLA) Investment Management which have a very similar risk profile to the previous holdings and meet the Council’s requirements for ethical investments. The pandemic restricted fundraising activities but we were fortunate to be able to hold two very successful concerts, the Christmas Fair and a number of sales. ## RESERVES POLICY In accordance with Charity Commission rules we are required to state our policy for the management of our reserves: Investment policy: The PCC has selected managed funds into which it invests the money from historic legacies. These funds match the risk profile that is felt appropriate and meet the PCC’s requirement for ethical investments. The PCC reviews these investments regularly. General Reserves Policy: The PCC aims to hold general unrestricted funds sufficient to meet six months running costs. It looks to fundraising and donations to meet the majority of normal running costs, however due to ever increasing running costs our general income is insufficient for the day to day expense, so we need a reserve to fall back on. We were forced to close our general reserve fund due to the sum remaining being too small to be economically managed and due to falling income we have been unable to rebuild this reserve Restricted Reserves Policy: These funds are from historical legacies which are restricted to the upkeep of Puttenham and Seale churches and are held in secure investments with the aim of achieving some income and growth; these funds are used for the general maintenance of these churches and churchyards. The investments are held such that should there be a cash requirement it can be readily realised. ## The Annual Accounts for 2021 follow in section D SPW ANNUAL REPORT 2021 AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS 19 ## **SEALE, PUTTENHAM and WANBOROUGH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** ## **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31st DECEMBER 2021** ## **Bank** Lloyds Bank plc Castle Street, Farnham ## **Independent Examiner** Mr Jeremy McIlroy The Street, Puttenham ## **Acting Treasurer** Mr Michael Thorpe Delamere House, Runfold ## **Independent Examiner's report to the PCC of Seale, Puttenham & Wanborough** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 6 ## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Independent Examiner** 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; - follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners in section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of this 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 ## **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 s.130 of the 2011 Act; or - to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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. **Signed Date:** Jeremy McIlroy Page 1 of 6 ## **SEALE, PUTTENHAM AND WANBOROUGH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** **Statement of Financial Activities for the year ending 31st December 2021** |**Description**

It is my responsibility to - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners in section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of this 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 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 s.130 of the 2011 Act; or - to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.
