Formal committees have been constituted to direct and administer particular interests of the Council as follows: 

- LSM’s missionary work at home and abroad 

- Management of an annual Christian Giving Review Social Responsibility 

- Administration of the Music Fund 

- The Friends of Little St Mary’s 

- Welcome Committee 

- Social events 

- Building and Maintenance 

In addition, informal groups have been set up to: 

- represent work with children at LSM 

- organise the Summer Festival 

- maintain the churchyard garden 

- reflect on LSM’s work with the homeless and in particular the church’s participation in the Cambridge Churches Homeless Project 

- ensure that health and safety standards are met in the kitchen and Parish Centre, particularly with regard to lettings 

- facilitate payment of bills etc. during quinquennial building work

## **Review of the Year** 

The PCC met six times during the year; committees and groups met between PCC meetings, reporting discussions, and making recommendations to the Council. 

The particular objectives for 2019/20 remained unchanged from last year and discussion during the year focussed upon them, namely: to develop a ministry for the Parish Centre for both the Church and the wider community; work with children and young people; corporate prayer, and welcome. In addition, there was ongoing discussion relating to poverty and homelessness in Cambridge. 

## **Churchwardens’ Report** 

This last year has obviously been quite a challenging one as we endeavour to work through the Covid 19 restrictions that have placed quite a burden on many of the things that would normally take place without so much as a mention. The previous APCM was delayed by some months and therefore the election of the new Churchwardens was postponed until October 2020. 

Geoffrey Howe took over from Janet Nevitt (who had been in post for six years) and joined Adrian Savin (two years) as a new Churchwarden.  Therefore at this point we should say that both of us are very grateful for Janet’s lengthy service and kindly advice over a number of issues as we have warmed to our new roles. Both Janet and her husband Chris have been loyal servants of LSM over a number of years and they have always been there whatever the issue with advice and support. Sadly since stepping down as Churchwarden, Janet (and to a different extent Chris), have been suffering from Covid 19 and indeed Janet has been in hospital for a lengthy period of time. Both of them remain in our prayers as they gradually recover and return to LSM. 

Taking advantage of the Covid lockdown last year enabled the body of the Church to be redecorated (for the first time in a generation) following on from the refurbishment and redecoration of the Lady Chapel the year before. 



## **THE PARISH OF LITTLE ST MARY’S CAMBRIDGE IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The inside of the main body of the church now looks so much brighter and of course we all look forward to when it can once again be populated in its usual fashion rather than as it is currently spaced out. During the refurbishment all of the electrical wiring was tested and replaced where necessary and therefore now all of the overhead lights work satisfactorily rather than continually blowing bulbs (as some were doing), although some work on this remains to be done.  We have also purchased new hassocks/kneelers to match the pew cushions purchased during the previous year. 

The Organ has been refurbished and thoroughly cleaned whilst the church has been in lockdown and once we are able to return to normal services the full benefit of this fascinating instrument will once again complement a full congregation. 

Matthew Fairhurst joined us as a Pastoral Assistant in September and his tenure runs up to July. He has been a very welcome addition to the ministry team assisting clergy with the daily running of services and also the operation of the live streaming of many of our services for the betterment of our far flung congregation. We have greatly warmed to Matthew and been very impressed with his dedication to the role at LSM, particularly recently when he assisted Fr. Rob in steadily filming the Stations of the Cross for broadcast. 

Obviously the Church’s income has been drastically cut because of the cancelation of many events that would have taken place in the Parish Centre and in the Church itself.  This has meant that we have less funds available than we would normally expect as there have been no paying events; and congregational giving has diminished. 

Notwithstanding this, Elaine Shield, our Parish Administrator has been a stalwart in her work and has kept many parts of the church regularly in touch with each other via email and Zoom facilities. As with many others she has partially worked from home throughout the year but her contribution to the wellbeing and efficiency of the parish is hugely appreciated – particularly as she has had to cope with one or two family emergencies along the way. 

A successful Poetry Reading evening was held earlier in the year and thanks are due to Jeremy Musson for making that event such a success and for raising over £5,000 for St. Cyprian’s (one of our supported parishes) in South Africa. 

The PCC has taken on the residue of the estate of the late Prof. Michael Waring including a house in Portugal Place which currently gives us an income. It is the PCC’s intention to use the income from his bequest for the funding of a second priest to serve the congregation at LSM. However, there are complications as plans are afoot to demolish the adjacent Multi Storey Car Park, which could have an effect on our property and the income earned from it. 

Obviously during the course of the year there have been periods where regular services have not taken place in the body of the Church. We were initially locked down for the start of the Covid-19 pandemic (which was not a decision taken by ourselves), and now as many have received at least one vaccination and some have received both, we have returned to regular socially spaced services on a Sunday and throughout the week, with our Sunday Services and other feast days being bookable on Eventbrite. 



**THE PARISH OF LITTLE ST MARY’S CAMBRIDGE IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

Looking forward, we are hoping that as restrictions are eased we can soon return to normal services – even with unmasked singing eventually. Plans are also afoot to commission works in the garden over this year and possibly next year depending upon restrictions being sufficiently eased. 

Adrian Savin, Churchwarden LSM. Geoffrey Howe, Churchwarden LSM. 

## **Safeguarding** 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, all safeguarding policies have been reviewed, including guidelines for online interaction for choir practices, which were discussed with Simon Jackson. 

During the past year, I have contacted all those required to undergo DBS checks and to complete safeguarding courses. From March 2020, I followed the provisional guidelines issued by the Ely Diocese during the pandemic, so applicants were (and still are) able to send me scans of documents, top show the documents to me via online chat (zoom, Skype, etc), or to show them to me personally after Sunday mass when that is possible. To this date, these are the results: 

|Courses||Completed|NotCompleted||
|---|---|---|---|---|
||PCC|15|1||
||Wardens|2|-||
||Staff|1|1||
||Volunteers|17|4||
||||Not sent<br>5<br>-<br>-<br>6||
|Self-<br>Declaration||Completed|Not sent||

||||||
|DBS Check||Completed|Being processed|Notstarted|
||PCC|11|1|4|
||Wardens|1|1|-|
||Staff|2|-|-|
||Volunteers|16|-|5|



I will contact other volunteers such as ‘back of church’, ‘coffee duty’, and ‘sidesduty’ to encourage them to take the C0 course as advised by the Diocese. 

The Diocese has new guidelines on safeguarding courses, which will mean that fewer people will have to take the Leadership Safeguarding Course (the C2 course). These guidelines do not alter the requirement for members of the PCC (who only have to complete C0), but will affect some of the other voluntary staff at LSM. I will consider these guidelines when I start the annual review of safeguarding checks of voluntary staff and policies, in May 2021.

## **Social Responsibility/Global Group** 

Since the last LSM Annual Review (October 2019), the church has continued to support the following local and ‘global’ organisations through prayer and financial and practical giving; Jimmy’s, Cambridge Churches Homeless Project, Cambridge Aid, Friends of Fulbourn Hospital, the Medaille Trust, Whitworth House, Cambridge City Food Bank, Hamlin Fistula, St Cyprian’s Sharpeville, Calcutta Relief Service and The Papua New Guinea Church Partnership. Regular updates and newsletters are posted on the LSM website. 

A poetry reading evening, organised by Jeremy Musson, took place at the end of January to support St Cyprian’s Sharpeville.  It was wonderful hear about the work of St Cyprian’s directly from Fr David, and the evening raised over £4,000. Many thanks to all who participated and donated so generously. 

We are currently preparing the 3rd edition of ‘Who is My Neighbour?’ which will be published after Easter.

## **Garden Report** 

Since the last person was buried in LSM churchyard at the end of the nineteenth century the churchyard has become a garden, much visited the year round. It is a wildflower garden, but some are wilder than others and if given the chance will take over. 

Despite the church having to be closed the garden has remained open for most of the past year. Visitors have continued to walk round and enjoy its tranquillity. 

If we happen to be working there, many comment to us on the enjoyment and peace it brings to them. 

This year we hope to get a small area paved just outside the parish centre. This will enable the congregation to gather comfortably outside in fine weather for coffee and other celebrations. 

Also it is hoped the paving will increase the Centre’s rental attraction for birthday parties and other such events. 

Wild gardens need quite a lot of attention and care. Anyone interested in helping in anyway would be most welcome to join us when we can, once more, meet outside.

## **Ely Diocesan Synod** 

This Synod has met twice via zoom since the last APCM. 

On 8 December 2020 the meeting began with Dwelling in the Word, led by the Archdeacon of Cambridge, reflecting on Ephesians 1:3-12.  The Bishop of Huntingdon then commissioned 



## **THE PARISH OF LITTLE ST MARY’S CAMBRIDGE IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

the Revd Dr Lynda Taylor as Lead Chaplain for Cambridgeshire Constabulary and Mrs Sue Nelms (LLM) as Bishop’s Adviser for Disability. 

Bishop Stephen delivered what he described as “the shortest presidential address in 10 years”, noting that he had indeed been Bishop of Ely for ten years.  He offered some brief comments on the responses from the break-out groups from the meeting on 7 October about how the church had experienced Covid and what we were learning.  He then flagged forward on the agenda to the substantial agenda items: on Living in Love and Faith he emphasised the importance of engaging with one another, waiting upon the other, and learning from one another; of deanery planning he noted that this is about who we are as the body of Christ, and that we are called to plan for an ambitious future. 

The Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech introduced a motion endorsing engagement with a new round of deanery planning, which will focus on deanery development.  This will consider not only stipendiary clergy posts, but will look at development of lay and ordained ministries, and at buildings, finances, and governance.  This was followed by a presentation on behalf of the Fincham and Feltwell Deanery describing the process the deanery had followed towards discerning a new plan.  Some brief questions were taken followed by  a vote with Synod giving its backing to the new planning process. 

After a brief screen break, the Revd Canon Alison Myers (Chair of the House of Clergy) gave an introduction to the Pastoral Principles for Living Well Together which have been developed by the Pastoral Advisory Group as a precursor to the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) process, and Synod watched a video to introduce the Principles, and then broke into small groups to begin to explore their content.  The importance of careful engagement with the Principles and with LLF over the course of 2021 was emphasised.  A Lent course is expected that will focus on the Principles and it is hoped that there will be wide engagement with that material. 

The Revd Canon Brian Atling, Chair of the Diocesan Board of Finance, gave a brief report on the budgetary position, and expressed thanks to the diocese for continued hard work and generosity.  There was then some legal business: a proposed scheme for the Cathedral to be represented on the Ely Deanery Synod was adopted; Synod agreed the formula by which representation for the 2021 Diocesan Synod elections were to be determined; and finally, amending canons numbers 40 and 41 (relating to religious communities, and making miscellaneous amendments) were promulged (formally announced) following the November group of sessions of the General Synod. 

On 13 March the meeting began with worship led by the Bishop of Huntingdon.  There were two substantive items for discussion in the course of the morning – the Covenant for Clergy Wellbeing, and Deanery Development Planning. 

A question was raised by the Revd Nikki Mann (Fordham and Quy, Bishop’s Adviser for BAME Matters) concerning diversity of representation on boards and committees across the diocese.  The Diocesan Secretary indicated that this data had not been gathered, but that it was timely that a diversity and inclusion audit should take place.  Supplementary questions concerned whether this could take account of both disability and gender as well as ethnicity. Canon Evans undertook to proceed with this. 

The Bishop of Ely gave a Presidential Address reflecting on Philippians 4.4-9. 

The Act of Synod concerning the Covenant for Clergy Wellbeing (passed by the General Synod at its group of sessions in February 2020) was proclaimed.  Canon Janet Perrett then introduced a motion to affirm and adopt the Covenant; to commit the Diocese of Ely to implement it; and to request Bishop’s Council to bring proposals back to Synod in the course of 2021 for that implementation.  The Archdeacon of Cambridge offered an overview of the provisions already in place, and following discussion, Synod voted in favour of the motion. 



## **THE PARISH OF LITTLE ST MARY’S CAMBRIDGE IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

This was followed with a brief presentation by Geoffrey Hunter (Head of Church Buildings) about the progress of the REACH Ely audit. 

The Archdeacons then led a presentation about Deanery Development Planning, which included time in break-out groups to consider what Synod members had learned from the pandemic that they thought should be continued.  This item followed the motion initiating the process for deanery planning that was passed by Synod at its meeting on 8 December 2020. The Revd Canon Brian Atling, as Chair of the Board of Finance, gave an update on the financial situation.  He emphasised his enormous thanks to each and every parish for the efforts made towards payment of ministry share, which had been received at 94% of the total ask.  Owing to a combination of this generosity and tight financial management, it appears that the deficit at the end of 2020 will be c.£600k, significantly less than that which was forecast and a remarkable result in the context of 2020.  He emphasised that the diocese is not anticipating needing to cut clergy posts, but recognised that 2021 will also be extremely challenging.  It was noted that parishes which have adopted the Parish Giving Scheme have been more protected from the financial consequences of church closures and inability to fundraise. Members of Synod were asked for their reflections on how to encourage greater take-up of the Scheme across the diocese, and what barriers may need to be addressed for this to happen. Elections to the General Synod and to Diocesan Synod will take place over the summer, and the timetable for this was outlined by Mrs Sheena Bridgman. 

Jo Wibberley 

## **General Synod** 

In view of the COVID 19 Pandemic, General Synod has been curtailed. 

## **Cambridge South Deanery Synod** 

Since the last APCM, the Deanery Synod has met twice on zoom, on the 17th November and the 23rd March. 

Richard Morgan is the Lay Chair, and Jo Wibberley is the Diocesan Synod representative At the meeting on 17th November, it was reported that there was full payment of the Parish Share in 2019 and also that it was hoped that nearly all parishes would be able to pay  for 2020. Prayers were asked for the UN 16 Days of Activism against Gender and Domestic Violence, 25th November -10th December, and the Synod was reminded that over the past year the incidence of gender based violence and domestic violence has increased exponentially both world wide and here in the UK. 

Several Eco-Church initiatives were discussed at both meetings.

THE PARISH OF LIThLE ST MARY'& CAMBRIDGE
IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY
Overview of tbe Attounts for the year ended 31". December 2020
Total assets fcll by £76.869 to £495.314 ovcr thc ycar. Th¢ main it¢rn of capilal exEMditure during the
year was the work to conscrv¢, rcpair and r¢4l¢corat¢ the interior fabric of the church. The totsl valuc
of investments fell by £63,314 to £448,460 over the year. The sale of shares from the Vicar &
Churchwardens, (VCW'S) and LSM Discretionary Fund investments to finance the re4ecoration work
was partly offset by an increase in the value of the shares. Two legacies totalling £15.000 were
received in addition to a donation for the purchase of additional shares for th¢ che￿ Music Fund
Income shares tn the Church of England Investment Fund. which accounted for 96.4 % of our
investments at the year en4 increased in value by 6.460/0 and produced a dividend yield of 2.84 % for
the year.
Th¢ investment and reserves ￿lICIeS were reviewed by the PCC on 21st. January 2021.
The level of funds held in short terni de￿)SIts at the year end (£38.470) is ad4ua* for liquidity
requirements in th¢ m¢dium temi.
The Sally Head Gard¢n Fun4 a r¢stri¢ted component within the VCWS, deposit, had a year-end
balance of £2,643.
General Fund (GF) expenditure ¢x¢¢ed¢d incom¢. after adjustments for debtors and creditors, to
produce a deficit of £l1.184 compared with a corresponding deficit of £1.517 for 2019. This resulted
from a 6.21 % fall in Income while totsl GF expenditure was almost unchanged. Norn)al expenditure
was £11,108 (6.4 % ) less than that budget&a for the year, largely due to reduced cleanin& maintena
and sacristy costs during the periods when the church was closed. Tr PCC agreed to make emergency
Covid-19 grants in May io many of the missions and charities which we regularly SUp￿rt through
mission ￿VIng. These amounted io £IO,(XY) and were funded by an extraordinary withdrawal from the
GF Reserve deposit account. While the 2020 deficit has been exceeded in at least one, more nonnal,
year in the ￿S( spending in excess of norn￿1 income can not be sustained at this level, even in the
medium-terni.

SL Mary the Cambridge- Investment and Reserves Policies
Reviewed by the PCC on 21sL January 2021
Background
The Chan'ties Commission strongly r¢¢ommends that charity Inistees decide on
inv¢stment tKilicy and a r¢scrves px)licy for their charity. record it clearly in writing
and keep it under regular review.
For investment policy see Charity Commi55ion publication CC14
For reserves ￿lIcY see Charity Commission publication CCI9.
Charlty Comml8•lon Guldance
Take a prudent approach to investment.
Strike the right balance between providing short terni income and long
temi sustsinability.
Requirements of the investment polky
The inv¢$tm¢nt w)li¢y should address the following considerations..
The need for enough r¢50urces for the charity to cary out its present and
future activities effectively.
The level of acceptable risk and how to manage it,
Th¢ charity's stance on ethic￿ investmen( if any.
SL Mary the Laj PCC (the charity)- Investment Polky
Surplus funds will be invested to giv¢ th¢ muimum retLml to the charity subject to
the following..
Funds will be invested in ethical inv¢stm¢nts unless this would be to the
Significant financial detriment to the charities.
Fwids will not be invested where there would be any ¢onfli¢t with th¢ aims
of the charity.
Funds will be invested in markets wher¢ financial services are closely
regulated an4 where p)ssible. compensation schemes are in place.
Funds will be invested where the trustees consider the risks to be low. and
Funds approximately ¢qual to annual, General Fund expenditure will b¢
invested on a short to medium terni basis to ensure accessibility in the
event of unforeseen ¢xFKnditure.
The [rrfornw￿e of investments will be reported in the Amiual Rewt and a¢￿unts.
The FrrfornwAce of investments and the Investment Policy will be reviewed by the
trust¢¢5 on an annual tdsis.

Charity Commission Guidan¢e
The level of reserves should be justifiable.
Reserves policy should be based on a realistic assessment of the charity's
reserve needs.
Requirements of the reserves p)licy
The reserves policy should address the following considerations..
The reasons why the charity neds reserves;
What l¢v¢l of rcs¢rv¢s the trustees believe the charity needs.
What steps the chaTity will take to establish or maintain reserves at the
a￿ced level. and
The arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the pK)licy.
SL Mary the PCC (the eharity)- Reserves Poliey
Due to the listed ststus and htstoric nature of the church building managed by the
trustees of the charity, maintenance and improvement work is expensive. Th¢ trustees
anticipate thai the builth'ng will requir¢ significant on-going investment which will
include. from lime to time, substantial one-off costs.
The charity will, therefore, aim to maintain reserves of three times annual, General
Fund expendilure lo be used for the extraordinary maintenanc¢ and improvement of
the church buildings an4 at the discretion of th¢ trust¢¢s. to initiate and supwrt
a¢tivities in furtheranrx of the church's ministry and mission in ac¢ordan¢e with th¢
stated objectives of the chan'ty. The reserves policy amount for 2021 1$ £510,C￿.
The Reserves Policy will be re￿rted in the Annual Rckx)rt and accounts.
The level of reserves and the Reserves Policy will be reviewed by the tntstees on an
annual basis.

THE PARISH OF LirrLE ST MARY'S CAMBRIOGE IN THE DIOCESE OF ELY
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
TO THE PCC OF LITTLE ST MARY'S CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE
This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are sel out
on pages 1 to 8, is in respect of an examinab'on carried out in accordance with the Church
Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations'l and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act')-
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PCC AND THE EXAMINER
As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the a¢counls-, you consider that
the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 144{2) of the Act does not apply. 11 is my
responsibility to issue this report on those accounis in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
BASIS OF THIS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners under section 145{5)Ibl of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006
edition. That examination includes a review of the accounling records kept by the PCC and a
comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as members of the PCC COn￿mIng
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit. and consequenly I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 section 130 of tho Act.. and
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been mel-, or
121 lo which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper underslandlng of
the accounts to be reached.
