## **Structure, governance and management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. ## **Objectives and Activities** St Mary’s, Overton, PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church and adjoining church rooms, Church Road, Overton. ## **Achievements and Performance** The Revised Electoral Roll for St Mary’s Church, Overton, contains 141 names, 1 more than 2019. There are an additional 9 names, 6 have left the parish and 2 have died. There are 4 on the Roll who live outside the parish. ## **Church Attendance** Owing to the lockdown and restrictions imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, there were no Sunday services in church from March to July. For a time during the summer, Sunday services were resumed (evenings only) with an average attendance of about 40. A second lockdown was imposed during the autumn with a brief easing of restrictions in the run-up to Christmas when the church was open for services. Attendance over Christmas Eve (2x nativity services) and Christmas morning totalled 144. From March to December our Sunday services were available on the church website with a total of 1293 views and an average of 42 views each week. _(_ _**2019:** The average weekly attendance at Sunday services (not including special services or where baptism parties were present) was 80 adults and 8 children. These numbers increased significantly at festivals and especially at Christmas when 537 adults and children came to church)._ ## **Review of the Year** What a year 2020 has been as we’ve lived in the midst of a global pandemic. Church life as we’ve always known it came to an end on March 15[th] and we have been living in various states of lockdown ever since. Consequently, the full PCC met 3 times during the year (February, September and December, the latter two meetings via Zoom). The average level of attendance was 76 _% (2019: 78%)._ Finance reports were presented at each meeting, keeping the PCC up to date on income and expenditure. The budgets for 2020 and 2021 were approved. Where possible and feasible, sub-committees met remotely via Zoom at various times during the year and reports of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. However, in adversity comes resilience and imagination. Our on-line services have been wellreceived by people – regular church members and others. We have also connected with the village through other platforms such as Overton TV. Our church buildings may have been closed for Sunday worship for much of the year but as a church we have remained active and alive. It was a particular blessing too to be able to meet together for a short live evening service during the summer months. What has been particularly encouraging has been the way that we have been able to partner with the other Overton churches as well as the Parish Council and the OBA in caring for our neighbours and the wider community through such initiatives as _Overton Cares_ and _Lockdown Larder._ We are particularly grateful for all that Ginnie Cates has done in mobilising such an excellent team of volunteers and it has been so encouraging to see real and fruitful partnerships develop and grow across the village. Jesus told us that the two greatest commandments were to ‘love God and love our neighbour’ and that has been seen in so many clear and practical ways. Another highlight of 2020 was the risk-assessed and socially-distanced Holiday Club that Amelia ran so brilliantly for us in August. It was a real joy to be able to offer something to the children of our village even if in very different circumstances to normal. It was a triumph of ingenuity and careful planning in the midst of challenging times. We said goodbye to Amelia at the end of the year and we wish her all the very best in this next stage of her life as she goes forward towards ordination. So a difficult and hard year but one where Home Groups have continued to meet, people have continued to pray, where we’ve carried each other’s burdens and where the light of Christ has continued to shine. Annabel and I feel very privileged to be part of such a church. As we move further into 2021 we continue to look to the Lord to lead us and we pray that the spread of Covid might be stopped both here and across the globe. There are signs of hope with the vaccine roll-out and the knowledge that restrictions are starting to be gently eased. What we can be certain of is that we will all emerge from this as changed people and as a changed church. It makes us ask questions as to what Christian mission in the 2020’s will now look like – what challenges Covid has placed upon us, what questions it has forced us to ask, and what new opportunities it has created for us as we continue to hold out _‘the word of life’_ **(Phil 2:16)** to people. Jesus calls us all by name and we all have a part to play in his plans for Overton and our community here. It is exciting to see what that will look like. ## **Financial Review** General Church Income and Expenditure for 2020 showed a deficit of £14,955 for the year, against a budget deficit of £19,617. The valuation of General CBF Trust funds increased by £5,779 from December 2018, giving a net loss of £9,175. ## **Income** Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £109,740 (£125,191 in 2019, but £489,374 including the Mary Taylor legacy) and the figures are detailed in the Financial Statements. Increased giving through the Parish Giving Scheme and some generous one-off donations partially offset the inevitable reduction in plate giving during lockdown (down £7,756 compared to 2109). Overall, planned and weekly giving together with donations in 2020 was £3,380 less than 2019 at £82,822 (£86,202 in 2019). The Gift Aid claim for 2020 includes only six months of non-PGS income due from 2019 (approximately £2,000). The 2020 non-PGS Gift Aid (approximately £4,000) will be shown in the 2021 accounts. Test magazine net income was £16,023 (£17,483 in 2019) with printing expenses decreased at £8,201 (£10,105 in 2019) maintaining a profit for 2020 of £7,822 (£7,378 in 2019). Reductions in income from advertising and subscription (due to missing print issues during lockdown in both 2020 and 2021) will be reflected in the 2021 figures. Church rooms hire brought in only £2,097 (£7,244 in 2019) and fees for Weddings and Funerals were down (£9,208 compared to £11,065 in 2019). Overall general unrestricted income was around £8,000 below budget. ## **Expenditure** Resources expended from unrestricted funds totalled £124,694 (£126,207 in 2019) which was £12,723 under budget. Mission giving in 2020 amounted to £8,767 (£11,845 in 2019). Expenditure on Youth groups and Outreach totalled £1,174 (£2,211 in 2019). Building costs were around £8,000 lower than budget. ## **Reserves** The total reserves carried forward on 31st December 2020 for unrestricted and restricted funds totals £445,659 (£455,545 in 2019). Of the total reserves, £36,549 is not currently “accessible” as it is held in CBF Trust Funds; the valuation of these Trust Funds has increased £7,740 since December 2018. ## **Reserves Policy** It is the PCC aim to maintain a balance on accessible and uncommitted reserve funds, which equates to approximately three months expenditure (£35,000) to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. It is the aim of the PCC to improve the finances through growth in membership and encouraging faithful stewardship of members, supplemented by fundraising and good stewardship of outgoings, in order to keep the reserves above the desired level. The unrestricted accessible reserves on 31st December 2020 were £406,453 (£421,407 in 2019). It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund. ## **Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Parochial Church Council of the** **Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Mary's, Overton, Diocese of Winchester for the year ended 31 December 2020** ## **Incumbent:** Rev James Russell 54 Lordsfield Gardens, Overton, Basingstoke, HANTS, RG25 3EW ## **Banks:** CAF Bank Ltd., 25 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4JQ Winchester Diocesan Board of Finance, Old Alresford Place, Alresford, Hants SO24 9DH CCLA Investment Management Ltd, Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4ET. ## **Independent Examiner:** Mr Richard Iain Anderson Knapman FCIB 30 Lordsfield Gardens Overton, Basingstoke HANTS RG25 3EW ## **REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1130067** Independent Examlnerfs Report on tho PCC of St Pa•rf$ (herton Thls report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31" December 2018. which are set out on The following pa8es, is in respect of An examination carried out in accordance w¢th the Church Accounting Re8ulatlons 2(fi61"the Re8ulatlons"l and s.43 of the Charities Att 19931.the Act'l.
