## **Annual Meeting of Parishioners, (AMP)**
1. Debs Wignall opened the meeting with prayer. Paul led us in worship with ‘Great is your Faithfulness’
**2. Appointment of Churchwardens.**
Julie Adams stepped down at this APM and was thanked for her service to the church – Julie thanked the church for the opportunity and Yvonne for proposing her. Emma Hughes agreed to continue to stand as Church Warden for a further year. Ann Hedges is to be the new church warden and as was handed the keys. Ann was proposed by Julie Adams and seconded by Debi Lagor. Emma Hughes proposed by Yvonne Mansell and seconded by Pete Crean.
Both warden appointments were approved by the AMP.
## **Annual Parochial Church Meeting, (APCM)**
1. Welcome - Debs Wignall
2. **Apologies** were received from: Sandra and Andy Bowskill.
3. **Minutes of the AMP and APCM dated 21[st] April 2022** an error was highlighted in that Teresa May was credited with a question but not actually present - this was amended. The approval of the minutes, proposed by Ann Hedges was seconded by Tricia Law and approved.
4. **Matters Arising** – none were tabled.
5. **The Electoral Roll and the Electoral Roll Officer's report** was found on Page 8 of the annual report. This was not a major revision year for the ER. Two additions to the role were noted and this brought the number to 85 on the role – 43% of ER resident in parish. Debs was keen to highlight that this number was not representative of the scope and reach of the worshipping community including regular monthly contact with people.
6. **Elections to PCC** - although Julie had stood down as we have less than 100 on the role, no new people were needed. None were standing down this year, but many were scheduled to stand down next year if people wanted to consider joining. 7. **PCC Secretary’s Report** was included within the pack for this meeting. Mike thanked Emma for Quinquennial changes and to Paul for all of the work. Debs thanked the PCC for carrying on through zoom and Mike Coombes for his work as PCC secretary. Resume 2 monthly meetings.
8. **Treasurer’s Report** – Dave Rayner highlighted that the annual accounts had been audited by Donna Cooksley, the independent examiner, and thanked Donna for auditing them so quickly. Dave Rayner walked the APCM through his report. By September the expensive CAF loan was paid off – this was great news. This leaves the interest free loans, of which 4k has also been paid off this year. Thanks go to Vanessa Hughes and Helen Ballantyne for banking and counting and thanks to all for their giving this year. Debs invited questions but there were none.
## **Appointment of Donna Cooksley as the Independent Examiner for 2022**
Approved examiner was proposed by Dave Rayner and seconded by Yvonne Mansell and duly approved.
Debs thanked Dave for his diligent work and that of his team over the last year.

9. Debs referenced the **Church Wardens’ Report** including a report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Church for 2021 was provided including reference to the Archdeacon’s Visitation (akin to OFSTED for churches) and the Quinquennial which was a huge amount of work especially for Emma Hughes, Julie, Paul and Wendy. Huge thank you especially for the leadership of Emma Hughes.
Debs went on to highlight the **safeguarding** work by our safeguarding officers Wendy and Gill Coombes – Debs highlighted the fact that we had dedicated a service to safeguarding in 2021 emphasise its importance to church life. Debs emphasised that this was **not a** tick box exercise – but an important element of to enable our children’s ministry to remain safe.
Paul brought a maintenance update from Emma – emphasising that the quinquennial inspection had resulted in lots of recommendations and that we would therefore need to prioritise. Maintenance would continue to be a high priority we will be pragmatic.
10. **Children Worker’s Report** . Debs highlighted that Wendy started this during lock down and there have been so many positives in the work in forging links with the school and uniformed organisations; young people relationships built and stronger, confirmation classes, preparation for communion, taking part in services. She does so much outside of her job description – warm appreciation was expressed for the tremendous job she does.
## 11. **Other Reports.**
The report written by one of our younger congregation members, Zara Crean – recounts how life of faith intertwines with family life.
The House Group reports reflected life together outside of our main Sunday worship.
Men's Supper club - Mike Reynolds and Graham Madge approached Debs and asked for advice as to what direction to take this long-standing and successful church- based club. This was started over 30 years ago originally by Dave Hedges and others. We are now looking forward to seeing how it’s going to develop with the inclusion of women too and a re-naming. Debs took the opportunity to thank Dave and Mike for all they had done to run this club for the church over the years.
12. **Hampton Deanery Synod Report** - provided by Liz.
The report shows how it’s a good diocese – so encouraging to see how much good will has been shown towards St Richard’s by the rest of the diocese.
13. **Adoption of the Annual Report** Emma Brown proposed and seconded by Graham Madge – and approved by the APCM.
## 14. **Vicar’s Report**
Debs highlighted an ongoing conversation about vision and the Mission Action Plan preached on throughout January. Debs went on to highlight our theme of growing hope and being a beacon of light. Debs drew on the image of the tree –
- The roots - growing deeper in our faith
- The trunk denoting growing closer together
- The branches showing us growing wider in outreach to our community
7
Debs reflected that on her arrival we were forced to look at short term pilots etc in a fastchanging environment and that this gave opportunities to try out new things. Some for short term – like the 6-week lent group, some were long term like the house groups established for years – both were good.
One excellent example of this was walking church – which Debs had named connect outdoors – but Finlay had called it walking church – and the name stuck. Debs showed an image and explained that it had started on Good Friday and comprised a walk around the nature reserve. It had stopped where the St Richard’s Spire was visible – which provided an opportunity to reflect on the cross. The group comprised push chairs and people from the past and present worshipping community.
Debs went on to draw out the parallel that Jesus walks with us – healing – on the move – teaching on the move – at a relaxed pace – walking not running. The key principles being to pause, stop, talk and share life.
Church on the move – we are not here all the time – our lives are outside of the church. We must keep trying things out – honour old and young. Art club had restarted and the coffee morning back. This is a picture of what we can look like as a church with strong inter-generational activities. Debs reported that we would have many baptisms in the coming months, partly church family but partly through the coffee morning connection.
Debs highlighted that we plant the seed and it’s God that makes it grow, and that when growth starts there is then there is always much more to do – as we are now seeing in church life.
Debs referenced the church’s outside space, and its importance to both church services, where we can spill outside, and the community during the week. Debs wanted it to be a place for contemplation and prayer.
Debs ended with a plea to the church to look again at the Mission Action Plan.
## 15. **AOB -** none offered
Liz thanked Debs for all that she does for the church. Debs, in turn thanked Paul for being her right-hand man – and for all that he continues to do for us all.
## 16. Debs closed with prayer – using our verse of the year -
Romans 15.13 _I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit._ .

## **Electoral Roll Report to April 2023**
Summary
|Summary|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|Date|Total on Roll|Resident in Parish|Male|Female|
|12/04/22|85|37 (43%)|27|58|
|05/04/23|91|39 (44%)|28|63|
We welcomed seven new members onto the roll. One member removed from the roll.
## **PCC Secretary’s Report**
During 2022 we had PCC meetings in January, March, May, September and November. Our July meeting was abandoned due to CV impacts although the business of the PCC was not interrupted consequently.
We operated in a hybrid mode for this period – with attendance available online and on site.
This report seeks to bring out some key activities without stealing the sandwiches from other specialist reports within this broader APCM document.
## **Financial Matters**
To start the business year the PCC approved a proposal to revert to paying 5% of our income from voluntary unrestricted giving to charities. This equated to distributing £3,475 from our 2021 income and consequently the following charities and associated donations were approved:
- Sheepfold - £1000
- Tear Fund - £1000
- Shooting Star Hospice - £1000
- St Richard’s School -£475
## **Mission Action Plan (MAP) for 2022**
The PCC adopted the MAP as a working document – understanding that it should not ever be final, but rather designed to be evolving all the time with focus on being a people of growing hope – growing deeper – closer and wider.
This document was then utilised during the application process for the grants that were sought this for many purposes including –
the continued support of our much-valued Children and Families Worker, church heating costs, and support towards funding the new community garden works, which church members also gave towards, including the family of Hazel and Joe Scanlon in memory of them. Thank you.

## **Oxford Way(OW)**
The Quinquennial (QQ) inspection has been completed for OW. Nothing urgent was raised and minor issues were held over until the tenants had moved out in June. The QQ report was sent to the Diocese and the Church Commissioners, both of whom had a legitimate interest. We are obliged to commit to complete the recommended works and assurances were supplied to this effect. Money available in restricted funds would be used for this purpose.
Common fund – after much discussion the PCC agreed a proposal to offer £20k as our contribution for 2023.
## **Role revisions – church staff**
The PCC approved a review of the remuneration of both the Children’s Worker role and that of the Worship Director.
It was recognised by the PCC that both roles had changed substantially since inception and that review was needed to reflect the commensurate changes in hours and responsibilities that both Paul Hughes and Wendy Rayner were needing to expend to serve the church.
Children's Worker became Children and Families Worker, (recognising the intergenerational work of this role).
Worship Director became Communications, Music, and Online Church Lead, (clarifying the scope of this unique role).
## **Children and Family Worker's role**
This role was advertised as 18 hours/week, but had developed with the intergenerational vision for the church into a Children and Families Worker. The Safeguarding role had also expanded not least due to the management of the new parish dashboard.
The PCC agreed to increase WR hours from 18- 22 hours/week to attempt to cover some of the additional hours now being worked
## **Communications, Music and Online Church Lead**
St Richard’s Hanworth has built a wide reaching and influential digital footprint over the years since the pandemic forced us to re-think how we deliver our mission to the community. This has involved a significant investment in time to both set up and maintain our presence on Facebook and Instagram. In addition, our church benefits immensely from the many streamed services and meetings not to mention the weekly update that combines words and images in a fabulous digital montage.
The PCC decided to re-imagine the role of worship director and expand its role to encompass the new tasks just described under the banner of digital communications.
The PCC also decided to end the honorarium nature of payment and switch Paul to PAYE and to increase the weekly hours from 8-10 hours
The PCC commissioned Mike Coombes and Emma Brown to take this out of committee and refer to David Baggs for guidance regarding a revision of the hourly rates of pay for both roles. Although this research revealed that the market would support a much higher figure, an
10
increase of 6% was proposed and approved by all PCC members without a familial conflict of interest in the outcome.
## **Hires**
We have a new hire from an Akido group and have revised our rates in relation to the preschool to reflect use of printing and improved internet.
## **Building Works**
The APCM will recognise many improvements and additions that have occurred during 2022 – here are some that I have noticed in the minutes for last year although this is just a sample -
- Reshelved cleaning cupboard in office
- Fitted a TV/monitor in the foyer and replaced one in the church
- Added heating pipes under the stained-glass window
- Aikido signs have been deployed
- We have fitted a payment card reader in the Church Foyer
- Oxford Way has received the addition of a curtain pole
- Tree plaque has been added to the garden
- The Prayer Garden has been finished - thanks to Martha and Jas
- Hannah and Ann have painted the fence
## **In Conclusion**
I’d like to thank the PCC for all of their work this year. If this report has whetted your appetite and you’d like to know more please speak to me or any of the PCC.
Mike Coombes
PCC Secretary

## **5. General Fund 2022 Highlights**
- Opening balance £29,830
- Income £110,477
- Planned giving plus gift aid has decreased by £3k from 2021 taking it back to the 2020 level
- Across 2022 monthly planned giving (without gift aid) dropped over 10% as people who had left the Church stopped their giving and were not replaced by new planned givers
- There are now only two non-Church families still contributing to planned giving
- Hall hire income has increased significantly both from CLG and from a new regular hirer (Aikido Peaceful Warriors)
- Includes two diocese grants towards moving the gas meter cupboard and towards increased energy costs, totalling £3,747
- Excludes £11k grant for Children’s & Families Worker post from Hampton Fund and Welcare Hounslow
- Expenditure £57,750
- Excludes just over £11k in Children’s & Families Worker pay and expenses charged to Children’s & Families Worker fund
- Common Fund payment increased only modestly from £11k to £20k to allow us to pay off more Project Grow loans
- £46,884 was transferred to other funds, mostly Project Grow to pay back the loans – we paid £2k to the diocese and £40k to Church members for their interest free loans
- Closing balance of £35,673 – far more than enough to cover 3 months’ worth of expenditure (including transfers to Project Grow) – held at a high level anticipating the CCLI licence fee and high energy costs in January
## **6. General Fund Budget 2023**
13
- Opening balance £35,673
- Income £100,900
- Planned giving projected to drop by £4k because of sustained drop in monthly giving since October 2022
- Includes the gift aid recovery from Q4 2022
- Rent from Oxford Way will drop by £1,400 because of our new curate moving in
- Assumes no big change in hall hire income
- Expenditure £71,143
- In addition, we forecast £30k transfer to Project Grow to pay back loans
- Common Fund payment held at 2022 level to allow for more pay back of Project Grow loans
- Makes provision for significant (£7k) increase in gas, electric and water bills
- Assumes a transfer to other funds of £36k (nearly £11k down on 2022)
- Assumes we will still get £11k in grants towards Children’s & Families Worker role
- Projected closing balance of £29,430 – enough to cover 3 months’ worth of expenditure (including transfers to Project Grow)
## **7. Project Grow 2022 Highlights**
- Opening balances -£24
- Included £106,000 in loans, of which £8,000 was from the diocese
- Income £8,224
- All regular giving and income tax recovery from gift aid
- Expenditure £0
- Carried forward balance £700
- Includes £6k of diocese loan plus £58k of church member loans
- We continue to pay back the loans as this balance grows, topped up from General Fund as cash flow allows
## **8. Summary**
## **General Fund**
- Common Fund payment was a modest £20k
- Monthly planned giving dropped in October when families who had left the Church some time ago eventually stopped their giving
- Newer Church families are currently mostly giving by cash and card machine. It would be good if some can be persuaded to join the Parish Giving scheme as it reduces our administration, helps our cash flow, and helps our financial planning.
- Hall Hire income has increased significantly, especially because of Aikido Peaceful Warriors
- • Church Maintenance has dropped significantly this year, partly because we created a Technology Fund financed from a £1,000 grant
- Gas and electricity monthly bills went up very sharply from November – over the winter we’ve been paying nearly £1,000 per month just for gas.
- We have been greatly helped by the grants from the diocese, Hampton Fund and Welcare, Hounslow
## **Project Grow**
-
- We have paid off another £42k of the loans, reducing the amount left to £64k
14
- Further loan repayment is heavily reliant on money transferred from the General Fund
- We need to pay off the church member loans by 2024 and the diocese loan by 2025
## **Thanks**
I’d like to give warmest thanks to:
- Vanessa Hughes – bookkeeper
- Helen Ballentine and occasionally Mary Smith – for counting and banking with Vanessa
- All regular givers, especially those giving through Parish Giving Scheme as that enables us to receive the Gift Aid every month alongside the giving itself
- Our independent examiner, Donna Cooksley, who was amazingly speedy in getting the 2022 accounts examined and signed-off
## **Dave Rayner, Treasurer**
**Church Wardens’ Report including a report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Church**
## **Hall Hire**
We were pleased to welcome a new hall hirer this year; the Aikido group, which started in September.
## **Faculties**
We ascertained that a faculty was granted for the building works completed in 2019-2020.
We also obtained a faculty for fixing TV screens and the card reader to the wall.
## **Card Reader**
15
We obtained a card reader, which has enabled people to give more easily.
## **35 Oxford Way**
Oxford Way has been occupied by an ordinand since July, with some maintenance carried out as needed, as well as the annual gas safety check; the ordinand moves out at the end of June, and we look forward to welcoming our Curate to the house from July.
## **Prayer Garden**
The prayer garden has been transformed and made wheelchair and pushchair accessible, with the addition of a paved path and area. Planters have been added, enabling gardening to occur, and fencing has enclosed the garden, making it a safe space for children. The metal gate has been moved back, improving both the prayer garden space by making it larger, and the preschool space by making it all visible to staff on duty. Thanks to all who contributed to the cost of this transformation, and to the charity Groundwork for all their work on the space.
## **Church Maintenance Works**
The annual gas safety and fire extinguisher checks were carried out, gutters cleaned, and smoke alarms regularly checked.
Thanks to Paul Hughes for organising the encasing of the external gas meter (identified as a priority job in our last Quinquennial inspection), various maintenance jobs, annual PAT testing and the Chubb alarm annual maintenance.
Thanks to Beryl and John Wittin for all the work they do on maintaining the church and Oxford Way grounds, and to our cleaner Ivanna for all her hard work keeping the building clean.
Thanks to Wendy Rayner for organising regular window cleaning and dealing with many day-today maintenance and admin issues.

## **Safeguarding Report**
Since the last APCM no Safeguarding concerns have been reported during this period, but advice has been sought and guidance received regarding possible concerns.
We continue to review all roles which require Safeguarding training and continue the process of ensuring all those who require it have completed, renewed, or are working towards completing the training levels required for their roles. All PCC members have completed the Basic Safeguarding training and are working towards completing their foundation and
16
awareness of domestic abuse with a large proportion of PCC members completely trained to the required level.
The diocese has recently launched the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard which is an online document so that all the paperwork to do with safeguarding is in one place and can be accessed by Debs and Wendy and Gill at any time. It is like a working document that can be continually updated with information regarding who has and who hasn’t completed DBS checks and relevant training pertaining to their role in the Church.
There is now a network of Church Safeguarding Officers for our diocese who hold regular meetings to ask questions and receive training on the new tool and how best to use it. Following discussions at these meetings there are now monthly drop-in zoom sessions for Wendy and I to be able to ask any further questions or to receive updates on how to use the tool in a timely manner.
In the autumn term we conducted our Safeguarding service. During this service we shared our commitment to making church a safer space for all with the congregation with a focus on supporting each other with our mental health. Following this the children took part in ageappropriate discussion and activities around safeguarding.
We continue to communicate our commitment to safer churches for all those who attend our groups, our services, and our community.

## **Liz Sharpe and Mike Coombes (Deanery Synod Reps)**
## **Vicar’s Report**
I want to begin my report this year with our Bible verse, our prayer for 2022. _**May the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace as you trust in Him, that you might overflow with confident hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13**_
Our life together as church during 2022 had many moments which testify to God the Holy Spirit at work in and through us filling us with Joy and Peace as we trusted in Him.
Perhaps you remember the baptisms, six children welcomed into the family of Jesus. Or the joyful celebration of those taking their next step of faith and being prepared to receive Communion. And then the sunny day when Bishop Graham confirmed nine of our congregation.
Maybe you think of the intergenerational coffee mornings, weekly opportunities to catchup with old friends and make new ones, cuppa, and cake with a side order of prayer perhaps?
Of if you are an Adventurer of Explorer summer Tuesday evenings in the vicarage garden, games and food. And maybe also the invitations accepted to play a fuller role in the life of our church.
Then there was the scorcher of our summer festival, the evenings organised by the Thursday social teams, the launch of Wednesday Welcome, (who knew there were that many flavours of soup?!), the hundreds that gathered for Remembrance Sunday and for our Christmas Services. And of course, the many and varied ways in which we have worshipped together this year, online, inside and outside, small groups, homegroups, large gatherings, and on the move.
19
Our prayer from Romans 15:13, is that we would _overflow with confident hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit._ **Overflow…** Blessed to be a Blessing. I love the glass walls, the windows of our church, especially our prayer window, that looks out to the community in which we are placed. Every time we worship a reminder of our mission and our hope to grow wider in our love for others, that they too might know what it is to be loved by Jesus.
We work hard to increase our visibility, for more people in our community to know that we are here, that we and Jesus are here. Our spire helps. Our online presence helps. Our Morning Prayer on Mondays and Thursdays has become its own worshipping community, a new congregation. Our website and social media, all invitational as well as informative. _Come and see._
This year has seen the development of our Community Prayer Garden. Another way in which we are intentionally seeking to improve our visibility and extend our welcome. Our vision for this to be a space which not only extends our worship space, with the gates keeping children out of the car park, but also provides a liminal space, a place of conversation with our wider community.
If you look at these photos, a before and after I think they summarise our story from the last few years.
In the first image we see the space as it was this time last year and the second photo as it is now. Quite a change!
Perhaps the first image of the garden looks sad in comparison to the others. In one sense, I hope so, there has been a huge amount of work that has gone on behind the scenes for this transformation to happen. Planning, applying for funding, financial giving from church members, partnering with others, work parties to clear and prepare the ground, ongoing maintenance and weeding as all ages are being welcomed into the space. A space that we hope will also be used and enjoyed by our wider community.
This parallels the work, the ministry and mission that has been ongoing in our church.
Of course, if you know anything about gardening you will know that most important before anything can grow is soil preparation and enrichment. So, the blank canvas tells a story too.
There have been many seasons in the life of St Richard’s Church since it began. One or two of
20
you remember most of them. Sometimes preparing the ground, other times sowing and nurturing new growth and at other times celebrating the harvest. Over the last few years there has been another season of preparing the ground. At times, especially during the Pandemic that has been especially hard. And yet, I believe the new growth we have seen over this last year has its roots in exactly those times.
## **Rooted in God’s love, our prayer is that together we are Growing**
**Deeper** in our love for and relationship with God, **Growing Closer** together in our relationships with each other **and Growing Wider** in number as we engage more with the communities God has placed us in.
We have worked together under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to try some new things, adapt some longstanding ways of being church and have welcomed new people, whilst also letting go of some of those who have laboured in this part of God’s Church, for whom we are thankful.
We have experimented with being an inter-generational church community. Recognising the gift of different age groups and how we can learn from each other. It has been a joy to see our younger members get involved in a variety of ways. We are also committed to honouring those who are older and continue to value their contributions to our joint life and mission.
As I look ahead I see some next steps to sustain the growth we see. Danny and I often challenge each other about whether we are spending sufficient time being _with_ God to sustain all that we are doing _for_ God. It is a good question to ask both personally and for our life together as St Richard’s.
When I think about us as a church **Growing deeper in our love for and relationship with God** I think this is an area to invest more into, wherever we are at in terms of age or stage of life. As I have said before, unless our roots are anchored in Jesus, then growing wider, in number, will not be sustainable. Perhaps you would like to be part of a small group? Perhaps you would like more opportunities to pray with others?
**Growing Closer in our love for and relationship with each other** . Pastoral care is good at St Richard’s. Many of you look out for each other. A next step will be to establish a team of people who can have oversight for this important area of church life ensuring that those less well known in our church and community are also cared for as well as those doing the caring.
Our church is growing deeper, closer and wider. I believe God has given us a vision and that by His Grace we will continue to grow. Central to this I sense is that others are being called to lead different areas of ministry. Under Wendy’s guidance our children and young people’s
21
ministry continues to grow. There is definitely an opportunity for those with a heart for teenagers to join the team. I will be working with our Leadership Team to identify and work with those called to lead in our church, (whether they know they are or not yet!).
In the summer of 2023, we will be welcoming Yvette Dixon, as Curate. I am looking forward to working with her and seeing how God will enable us to learn from her as we are enabled to provide opportunities for Yvette to grow in her role as an ordained minister in God’s Church. Please join me in praying for Yvette as she prepares for this transition.
Thanking individuals is always tricky, who do you thank, who have I missed? Do I value some more than others by naming them? Every act of service makes a difference. The current rota for serving on Sundays has a similar number of people to ususal Sunday attendance at the start of last year! Then there are all those who serve mid-week in a variety of capacities. So thank you to each and everyone of you who are serving.
However, I must mention those who are weight-bearing leaders alongside me. To Paul, Wendy, Mike, Ann, Emma, and Dave thank you for your support and encouragement of me and for all that you bring to the life of our church. To Danny whose support enables my leadership in so many ways, thank you.
I encourage each of you reading this report to be people of gratitude and to thank others often for who they are and for how God enables them to serve us. It is no exaggeration to say without you, we could not be the church we are today.
I will close with our Bible Verses, our prayer for 2023,
_I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. Ephesians 3.16-17_
God Bless,

Notes to the Financial Statements for Ihe year ended 31 December 2022
Unrestricted Funds
General Fund
The general fund represents fijnds for the general use of Ihe PCC. It reflects all
the funds available to the PCC, other than those designated fc aTh)th
purpose by the PCC or restrtcted by donors.
Tradytionally the PCC has kept a cash balan sufficient to (x)ver expenses for
3 months to cope with a drop in the Ie1 of giKarKJ or so£ unforeseen
expenditure.
Roger Casson Legacy Fund
The Roger Casson legacy fvnd was set up to trKJld the legacy from the estate
ofthe late Roger Cass. The PCC would like to use these funds to Exith
commemorate the life of Riy3er and also SUPFM)rt the fuknre work of the church.
During 2020, the PCC deaded to Snd scxne of the remaining funds on
exterior lighb'ng, the remaining half of which has been paid for in 2021.
Holiday Club
Holiday dub is orE of the (x)re mi&sion adivities of the thurch. Hen, in 2017.
Holiday Club income arKI expenditure was transfer to the General Fund.
This fund was unused in 2022 tEcause Th) Holiday Club was Ible.
PCC Associated Funds (Church Groupsfunds)
Following dIsCssi(, the PCC felt that inc(Nne and funds held by the
various groups of St Richards Chu are by nature designated, rather than
restricted, as the grpS are part (A (x)re mission of the church. HerK% the
funds of active groups were transferr1 from restricted fvrNJs to desgnated
nds in 2017. All of these groups h&de now de(xJed to transfer some or all of
their fund balances to the General Fund. Designated fvnds are Maintain to
acUnt for the small agreed floats maintsined by most of the groups. The
Friends Group banked ts ex cash in early January 2023. hence
exceptionally the designated fvrKI sfM)ws that excess cash as well as its float at
the end of2022.

Notes to the Financial Statements for Ihe year ended 31 December 2022
Unrestricted Funds
General Fund
The general fund represents fijnds for the general use of Ihe PCC. It reflects all
the funds available to the PCC, other than those designated fc aTh)th
purpose by the PCC or restrtcted by donors.
Tradytionally the PCC has kept a cash balan sufficient to (x)ver expenses for
3 months to cope with a drop in the Ie1 of giKarKJ or so£ unforeseen
expenditure.
Roger Casson Legacy Fund
The Roger Casson legacy fvnd was set up to trKJld the legacy from the estate
ofthe late Roger Cass. The PCC would like to use these funds to Exith
commemorate the life of Riy3er and also SUPFM)rt the fuknre work of the church.
During 2020, the PCC deaded to Snd scxne of the remaining funds on
exterior lighb'ng, the remaining half of which has been paid for in 2021.
Holiday Club
Holiday dub is orE of the (x)re mi&sion adivities of the thurch. Hen, in 2017.
Holiday Club income arKI expenditure was transfer to the General Fund.
This fund was unused in 2022 tEcause Th) Holiday Club was Ible.
PCC Associated Funds (Church Groupsfunds)
Following dIsCssi(, the PCC felt that inc(Nne and funds held by the
various groups of St Richards Chu are by nature designated, rather than
restricted, as the grpS are part (A (x)re mission of the church. HerK% the
funds of active groups were transferr1 from restricted fvrNJs to desgnated
nds in 2017. All of these groups h&de now de(xJed to transfer some or all of
their fund balances to the General Fund. Designated fvnds are Maintain to
acUnt for the small agreed floats maintsined by most of the groups. The
Friends Group banked ts ex cash in early January 2023. hence
exceptionally the designated fvrKI sfM)ws that excess cash as well as its float at
the end of2022.
