In the course of 2022 the PCC continued to let 79 High Garth commercially, and reviewed the maintenance and repair work that will be required following our Quinquennial Inspection in 2019.We will need to repair the flat roof above the church lounge in 2023.
## **Mission Giving and Collections**
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. The PCC are committed to giving 10% of our donations received to our Mission Partners. To this end £24,600. was sent to missions and charities at home and overseas. This figure includes £4,000 paid to the Barchester Fund to assist in the repair costs at St Thomas's Church of England Primary School, with whom we have close links. In addition the annual Christian Aid and Bishop's Harvest Appeals were highlighted for people to support individually.

During the year a Financial Risk Assessment was undertaken, and a schedule of Monitoring Tasks prepared. The PCC has assessed the major financial risks to which the church is exposed and is satisfied that systems and procedures are in place as far as possible to mitigate against any such risks.
## **Financial review**
Total receipts on unrestricted General Fund were £289,097 and payments totalled £242,951. These are detailed in the financial statements. The majority of the income came from Church members by regular giving, together with the related Gift Aid.

## **Parochial Church Council of St Thomas' Church Kendal**
## **Annual Report**
## **for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2022 (continued)**
The Parish Offer of £75,000 was the largest outgoing providing for clergy costs as well as supporting mission and ministry elsewhere in the diocese. In addition, £82,496 was spent on staff costs whilst £20,600 was donated to missions and charities at home and overseas.
The wider work of the Church reaches out into the community, and includes Moms and Toddlers, Families, Youth Work, and Cedars to name but a few. A total of £75,380 was spent during the year (including staff costs) reaching out to the local community.
Receipts to the restricted fund totalled £12,851 whilst £10,952 was spent in the year. There was an overall loss on the value of the investments of £259. Overall, there was a surplus of £47,786 for the year.
## **Designated Funds**
During the year the PCC voted to designate funds totalling £90,000 to support the deficits projected for the next three years. This sum. derived from past legacy income, is deposited in the Cumberland Building Society at the year end, as detailed in note 9.
## **Restricted funds**
These include receipts for staff posts together with related Gift Aid totalling £13,193 at the year end.
## **Legacy policy**
At St. Thomas' we welcome gifts in wills however large or small, and we promise to use such gifts to make a significant difference in the spread and proclamation of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in this community and elsewhere.
The PCC recommends that gifts in wills are unrestricted, so that the funds can be used for whatever purpose is currently needed to extend the mission and ministry of the church. As an alternative to the restricted gift a letter of wishes can be attached to a will, which the PCC will endeavour to honour.
Substantial legacies will be used for significant projects, or substantial repairs, such as:
- meeting the cost of repairs arising from the Quinquennial inspection.
- meeting the cost of a mission project such as the Alpha course.
- underwriting or funding a new member of staff for a fixed period.
## **Reserves policy**
The Finance Committee reviewed the policy on reserves and brought the matter to the PCC for discussion when the budget was approved. The aim is to maintain a reserve equivalent to one month's payments to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £41,248 on the General Bank Account together with the £31,866 of General funds in the Cumberland Building Society at the year-end covered this target. The PCC will endeavour to ensure reserves are held in sufficiently liquid assets.
There is a balance of £22,662 in the restricted fund as detailed in note 10.
It is our policy to invest surplus funds with the Cumberland Building Society.

**Parochial Church Council of St Thomas' Church Kendal**
## **Statement of Parochial Church Council's Responsibilities for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2022 (continued)**
The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the Parish Church Council's responsibilities for the accounts from those of the independent examiners as stated in their report.
Law applicable to Parochial Church council in England & Wales requires the Council to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Council's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Council should follow best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then 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 departure 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 Council will continue in operation.
The Council are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the church and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Council and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Council and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The designated funds of the PCC comprised funding towards the payment of staff salaries for three years commencing 1st January 2019. These funds were derived from two legacies received since 2015 from members of the Church who had a passion for Children and young peoples' work.
These funds are held in the Cumberland Building Society, from which a withdrawal of £20,600 was made during the year.
When the Budget for 2023 was drawn up, it became apparent that there would be an operating loss in 2023 and beyond. Accordingly, the PCC voted to set aside unspent legacy monies from the past, and the £54,855 received in 2022, to create a fund of £90,000 which would finance three years with a deficit in the region of £30,000.
