Review of Activities in 2021
This year continued to see the effects of the COVID19 pandemic and the resulting changes in public health guidelines. We began the year once again locked down and the church closed to public worship. During this time we offered Sunday morning worship, Sunday evening Compline and Morning and Evening during the week via Zoom.
Sunday School continued online until September when they were able to physically meet in the Lady Chapel. We have had to accommodate the loss of our church hall facility following the inappropriate building work being carried out by the property developer working on the land behind the hall. The Hall continues to be closed after being designated an exclusion zone by HSE. The matter is in the hands of our insurers, and we hope to see resolution later this year. In the meantime, the loss of income is being covered in the most part by our insurers. However, we have not been able to conduct our usual fundraising activities.
We have been back into Church for worship from Easter Sunday although COVID restrictions meant that we were socially distanced and wearing masks. Despite this we have held Lent and Advent course via Zoom, our monthly book club continues to meet. Our Mother’s Union branch met through the year either via Zoom or in person, when possible. It was reluctantly decided in December to place the branch in abeyance as there was no volunteers to take on the committee roles.
Our sponsored uniformed organisations have had to make alternative arrangements to meet whilst the hall has been out of action. They attended our Harvest celebration in October. Our work with children and young people has led to several outdoor events this year and we hope to continue to build on this over the coming year. Our Christmas Eve Nativity play was once again held via Zoom with good attendance. The number of children in Sunday School is slowing getting back to normal.
We have supported the Children’s Society, the Daylight Centre and the Salvation Armies Christmas Toy appeal. Along with donations of gifts for Northamptonshire Young Carers.

The PCC operates through a number of committees that meet between full meetings of the PCC.
Standing committee
This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings subject to any direction given by the council.
Development committee
This committee's remit is to form a vision for the future of the church. It is focusing on looking at ways to make our building space more flexible for worship and other events.

This committee meets to discuss the finances of the church and assist the Treasurer.
Hall committee
The Hall committee attends to matters relating to the Church Hall and assists the Hall Booking Clerk.
Liturgy and Worship committee
This committee attends to matters relating to ministry within the church, including forms of worship.
Maintenance committee

Ministry team
The team attends to matters relating to the pastoral needs of the congregation and the local community particularly when individuals are in need of care and support. This might be offered through prayer, visiting or in practical ways.
Outreach and education committee
This committee aims to foster further Christian training and development, and cover the area of outreach, and support mission, ecumenical links and relief agencies.
Social committee
This committee attends to matters relating to events that bring the congregation together to meet and get to know one another better and provide opportunities for people on the fringe or outside to find out more about the church. These events might or might not raise funds.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Incoming resources
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when received.
Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due.
Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of magazines from the church are accounted for gross.
Other ordinary income
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
Resources expended
Activities directly relating to the work of the church
Costs of generating voluntary income comprise those costs directly attributable to generating incoming resources for the charity and include staff costs and attributable overhead cost.
Charitable activities expenditure represents the overhead and staff costs incurred for the furtherance of the charity's objectives as stated in the annual report. Expenditure is shown gross, inclusive of unrecoverable VAT and is charged on an accruals basis. Costs are allocated to the particular activity that directly relates to it. Where costs cannot be directly attributed they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the management of the Parochial Church Council of All Saints, Wellingborough's assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Page 8
Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes laid down by the donor or by the purpose of the appeal. Expenditure for those purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the charity.
Fixed assets
Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual terms of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) December 2021 Year End
All Saints participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.
The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

Church Workers pension Fund (CWPF) December 2021 Year End
All Saints Church participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pension Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participation employers.
CWPF has two sections:
-
1 the Defined Benefits Scheme
-
2 the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections;
-
a. A deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and,
-
b. A cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014
The Pension Builder Scheme
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time.Discretionary increases may also be added depending upon the investment returns and other factors.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment experience and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2021: £877 and 2020: £860).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 3% following improvements in the funding position over 2021, There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, All Saints could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities.

Independent examiners, report to the trustees of All Saints, Wellingborough
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our 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 Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and
-
State whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners’ statement
In the course of our examination no matter has come to our attention
-
1 which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act, as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 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.
