2. Trustees' report

St Peter's Church is situated in De Beauvoir Town, Hackney, London, N1. It is part of the Diocese of London within the Church of England.

Objectives and Activities

St Peter’s PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the vicar and other parish clergy to promote the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical within the parish. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the whole church building, including the crypt and the parish house at 16 De Beauvoir Road.

The church relies substantially upon the commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism of many volunteers, both within the church and from the wider community and is profoundly grateful to them.

b. Public Benefit Statement

In producing their assessment of the benefit to the public provided by the charity, the trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefits, Charities and Public benefit.

The church is a thriving place of worship. As a parish church it remains a focus of much community activity and also attracts a wider geographical spread of worshippers. Inclusive congregational events including Lent programmes, Christmas carols and other services, Harvest supper, and the Petertide barbeque mark the church year.

Our outreach activities evidence our core mission and include the Freedom Club, Noisy Church, a Community Café and various activities for young people. Among our current projects is support for homeless people, mothers and young children and refugees with support for Hackney Playbus, Happy Babies and Woven Gold choir.

Our buildings are a valued community space used by a wide range of mission based and community activities. Income from this source continues to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic which impacted adversely on resources and made some of the above activities impossible.

Mrs Julie Talbot is our Operations Manager and Mr Haren Copeland carries out building maintenance and repairs.

Achievements and performance

a. Financial review

The PCC’s Funds are divided into General, Restricted and Endowment Funds. Restricted Funds can only be used for the purpose for which they are established and we benefit from income derived from the Endowment Funds.

Total income was £159,200 (2020: £117,781, 2019: £174,497) including £42,895

(2020: £42,176, 2019: £46,366) planned giving by the congregation. Loose plate collections, donations and Gift Aid supplement this giving. Income from letting church and crypt premises was £38,436 (2020: £24,434, 2019: £63,845) but a pleasing diversity of users are returning now that pandemic restrictions are easing.

We also benefit from the huge and irreplaceable voluntary input from a wide section of the community into our various activities.

Our contribution of £12,000 (2020: £40,600, 2019: £80,600) to the Common Fund has temporarily been reduced but we plan to increase this again over the next five years. b. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. c. Reserves policy

Reserves are designed to act as a cushion against uncertainties about future risks and costs. The major uncertainties are: maintenance of the fabric of this historic Victorian church and crypt; possible fluctuations in the letting income; the need for continuing investment in staff and maintenance in the crypt space and possible loss of income from 16 De Beauvoir Road if it is used for other purposes such as a house for service.

The PCC considers that free reserves of six months' expenditure are prudent and reviews this policy annually. Total expenditure in 2021 was £109,079 (2020: £154,808, 2019: £204,475). At the balance sheet date, total designated funds were £88,415 and unrestricted funds (including designated funds) stood at £151,682 (2020: £123,658, 2019: £152,673). This is higher than PCC policy dictates, based upon current or pre-pandemic expenditure levels, but considerable funds are budgeted during the next few years for expenditure postponed because of uncertainty due to Covid and the interregnum in addition to the need to increase our Common Fund contribution over the next five years.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1130111).

b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees The method of appointment of Church Wardens and PCC members is set out in the Church Representation rules.

c. Organisational structure and decision making All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and at the Annual Parish Church Meeting held on 23 May 2021 there were 162 (2020: 163, 2019: 155) members.

Day to day management is carried out by the incumbent, church wardens and PCC members. Early in 2021, our incumbent retired and we are delighted that a new incumbent joined us in November 2021.

The PCC carries out its work through regular meetings and also through sub-committees and teams with delegated tasks. The Standing Committee has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings.

All buildings are fully insured and regular fire inspections held. A safeguarding policy is in place and the PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

d. Risk management

The PCC members have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the church and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

Before the coronavirus outbreak, the PCC envisaged a period of consolidation coupled with a drive to increase the involvement of the local community who do not worship regularly but who value the presence of the church. It is now recognised more than ever that community fundraising and seeking grants will be vital to rebuilding the church in the years ahead – both financially and socially.

3. Independent examiner's report

Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act

to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Date: 13[th] May 2022

Signed:

Stephen Hendy
