The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of Central Wolverhampton Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2023

Charity registration number: 1130297

Objectives and Activities

The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of Central Wolverhampton (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent [following the departure of the Reverend Prebendary David Wright in August 2023 the Parish are in vacancy], in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of the church

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Central Wolverhampton. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through nonsacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach non churched members of the community.

Public Benefit

The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Central Wolverhampton, it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

• Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and

• Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Achievements and Performance

PCC Secretary Report 2023

The PCC met four times during the year, with two additional meetings held via email. Average attendance at meetings held in person was 57%. Meetings have received regular reports on parish finances and on child protection and safeguarding. Updated Safeguarding Procedures were approved at the April meeting. District churches have also given regular reports on their activities; these are covered by the churchwardens’ reports.

We were sorry to say farewell to Helen Babiy, curate at St Chad & St Mark for four years, when she was appointed Mission Priest at Christ Church, Bloxwich, in the spring. Her licensing there was one of the last services led by Bishop Clive, who retired at Easter and will be very much missed in the Parish. Following these two departures came the news of David Wright’s appointment as Chancellor of the pro-Cathedral in Valletta, after 14 years in Wolverhampton. The PCC expressed its thanks and good wishes to David at the July meeting. As a result of his departure, it was not possible for Alison Bruton to come as a deacon to St Peter’s as originally intended.

A further loss to the life of the parish was sustained in the death of John Evans, for many years both churchwarden at St John’s and Vice-Chair of the PCC. His gave unstinting service to St John’s in a great many ways; the PCC will particularly miss his determination to beat his own record for keeping meetings short!

At the end of March, it was agreed that Valerie Fairclough should be licensed as an assistant priest under common tenure for two years at St Chad and St Mark, after which she would have permission to officiate in the Diocese. The PCC was pleased to support five members of St Chad & St Mark in undertaking the Chad Foundation Course.

The PCC received reports on the Shaping for Mission process in the Deanery, but there was very little progress with this during 2023.

An applications for a faculty for work on St Peter’s chancel was agreed and the application was later approved.

A suggestion originally made in 2022 that Ray Gaston should take responsibility for All Saints’ alongside his half-time role at St Chad & St Mark, with the All Saints’ post replacing, at least for a time, his interfaith responsibilities in the Diocese, was supported by the PCC and agreed by the Diocese towards the end of the year.

The PCC has, since July, been very much focused on the process for appointment of a new Rector. This moved very slowly at first, but the Diocesan Registry issued the formal notice early in November. Shortly after this, the Archdeacon simplified matters by replacing an initial meeting with a set of questions which were answered in December. The first formal meeting is, at time of writing, fixed for 15[th] February 2024.

The Parish Profile written before David Wright was appointed in 2009 lists eight ordained clergy working in some capacity in the Parish, and two licensed readers. The PCC is very grateful to the two clergy now licensed to the Parish, Ray Gaston and Valerie Fairclough, to our reader, Clare Whitney and to Revd Graham Bennett and Revd Mark Hathorne for doing so much to maintain the worship of the Parish during the vacancy. Churchwardens, especially Deborah Castle at St Peter’s and Alfred Talabi at St John’s have also undertaken a wide range of tasks, supported by their teams.

Safeguarding Report 2023

2023 has seen the continuation of practical use of the DBS [Disclosure and Barring Service] and we only now check specific categories. We have stressed on many occasions that all volunteers and staff be vigilant and communicate anything they feel is not quite right.

2023 we ensured that all Trustees had an up-to-date DBS check. The PCC have agreed that if a new member joining the PCC are willing but not able to obtain a DBS check because of identification then they will be allowed to serve on the PCC but this will be agreed on a case by case basis. A clear DBS check remains mandatory.

Those that are able and not willing to obtain a DBS will be removed from the PCC as a Trustee.

It has been agreed by the PCC that it is mandatory for all Trustees to complete the online training of basic and foundation with a refresher every three years. We continue to encourage all volunteers to complete this training. 2023 has seen a great deal of work carried out in this area. I can now report that only 1 trustee has not completed the basic training and 1 has not completed the foundation training. The trustees will be contacted in 2023 directly by myself and given one month to complete the training and send the certificate to me.

It is no longer necessary for Church wardens to complete the leadership course [unless we are in interregnum]. As we are in interregnum Deborah Castle has completed her leadership course and I completed mine in September 2022.

We have a full list of volunteers, and I would like to thank Di Polowyj, Vicky Szyman and Jean McIntosh for being on the ground and helping volunteers with their DBS applications and training.

In 2023 DBS applicants continued to complete applications online and I continue as the Deanery verifier. It has meant that the process is a lot more efficient. However, at the time of writing and after much thought I have resigned as Deanery verifier effective 24 March 2024. I have informed the Rural Dean and DBS at Lichfield.

The Safeguarding committee have produced a Flow chart of the processes to follow should there be a need to report an incident. Along with Pro-forma to complete these are held in each Church. It has been reiterated the need to send details of any incidents to me as the Safeguarding Co-Ordinator. Failure to do this will be reported to the Trustees of the PCC as a Breach of the procedures we have in place.

The Safeguarding committee have not met in 2023 but have been in close contact via e-mail and phone to ensure standards do not drop.

The PCC will meet in 2024 to accept the Procedures we have in place.

It is imperative now that we are all vigilant and explained to people who think we are being pedantic that Safeguarding is of vital importance

I would like to thank the District Safeguarding Officers for their hard work and determination to ensure that our procedures are not only robust but used practically.

St Peter’s Collegiate Church Churchwardens’ Report 2023

2023 has been a year of change and adjustment at St Peter’s with the announcement that the Rector, Rev Preb. David Wright would be leaving us at the end of July to take on a new post in Malta. I would like to record my thanks for the contribution that he and his family made to the life and worship of the Central Parish and to St Peter’s in particular and wish him and Alice well for their new life in Valetta.

At the AGM in May my fellow churchwarden of many years, Sue Bowden, stepped down from the post and I offer my sincere thanks, on behalf of myself and everyone at St Peter’s, for the hard work she has put in over many years in the role. As there were no nominations for a successor to Sue, I found myself as the sole warden, but am extremely grateful to Alan Bickley and Di Polowyj who put themselves forward as Deputy Wardens and who have been a tower of strength and support during the 5 months of vacancy, thus far.

Together we have managed to keep all church services in place and are really grateful to all of the local clergy who have stepped in to cover Eucharist and Evensong. Particular thanks go to Rev Ray Gaston, Rev Preb. Sarah Schofield and to our Lay Reader, Clare Whitney, who have been so helpful in advising on liturgical questions and in covering many services.

The number of people attending services has increased slightly over the last year and it is wonderful to see so many new families joining us on a Sunday morning. Junior Church continues to provide activities and teaching aimed at our younger members and Pebbles, our service for toddlers and their carers and parents, takes place on Tuesday mornings, but has lower numbers than previously, due to many of the children having moved on to nursery and school.

With regard to the structural fabric of the church, work is continuing as planned, before the departure of the Rector, to replace the internal lighting of the church to more eco-friendly LED lights and to replace the worn stonework on the exterior of the chancel. We are grateful to the Church Commissioners for their help in making the work on the chancel possible. There have been no additions to the contents of the church this year, but repairs have been made to the silverwork of the processional cross.

As well as opening the church for visitors during the day and for services, we are also seeing it being used more as a venue for other activities, both during the day and in the evenings. It is regularly hired by the University and local schools as well as by musical companies for concerts and of course the City Council. Such activities not only bring people into the building, who may not otherwise do so, but they also provide a welcome source of income. Our own inaugural Christmas Tree Festival provided an opportunity for people to visit the church and raised much needed funds for St Peter’s. It was a huge undertaking, requiring a great deal of organisation, but it was a great success and I offer thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it happen and to those who volunteered to stay in church beyond our regular opening hours. Another regular activity which brings people into church is the Lunchtime Live! series of musical recitals, which take place on a Friday at 1.15pm. These are free recitals, with a retiring collection, and offer the chance for local musicians to show their talents to an appreciative audience. With an average attendance of between 20 and 30 people, the Lunchtime Live! recitals are clearly a good thing and I thank Charles Francis and Callum Alger for all they have done in arranging this initiative.

The choral tradition of St Peter’s has continued to go from strength to strength this year under the directorship of Callum Alger and the Assistant Director of Music, Charles Francis, whose playing of the organ was of the highest standard. One highlight for the choir was the recording and broadcasting of choral evensong for BBC Radio 3 in June. It was a real honour to be one of the few parish churches whose choir is considered to be of a high enough standard to broadcast alongside cathedral choirs. The choir, along with Laura Toomey as Alto Choral Scholar and Elli-Mae McGlone as Organ Scholar (both scholars being sponsored by the Cathedral Music Trust) also sang Evensong in Westminster Cathedral, Southwell Minster and did a week in residence at Lincoln Cathedral, as well as singing at all of our services. During the summer months we held our second Organ Recital series, which was again very well attended. At the end of August, we were sorry to see Charles Francis leave to study in the United States and Laura Toomey leave after her year as Choral Scholar. We wish them both all the best in their future musical careers.

And so, I look forward to 2024 and hope that, through prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit, someone will be called to take on the role of the Rector of the Central Parish.

St Peters House Report 2023

We opened in January 2023 with hopes for the Hospitality industry starting to recover from the setbacks of recent years. However, many establishments became casualties of the challenges that continued. We too faced setbacks, especially financially. Essential repairs to our basement staircase were an unexpected cost. Food costs remained high and utility bills hit everyone hard.

We have continued to open 4 days a week, although we have unfortunately closed a number of times due to volunteer illness. A number of our volunteers left us during the year due to long term illness or moving on, either to employment or other things. On a more positive note, we have recruited a small number of new volunteers, but not enough yet to cover our losses, so we are always looking for more volunteers.

We are so very lucky to have wonderful staff with their smiling faces and cheerful welcome to all our customers. So do remember where we are as we strive to provide a sanctuary for our valued customers and keep our café going in these very difficult times.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.

St John’s in the Square Report 2023

This year has been a fairly challenging one with the passing of Late Mr John Evans, a long serving Church warden and member, and the leaving of Revd. David Wright to pastures new in Valletta, Malta.

We have achieved some positive and progressing results, we have been able to sort out the long awaiting Asbestos removal in the cellar and the pipe work repair to the central heating system, that is now up and running.

A revised quote has been obtained to the initial quotation obtained by The Rector early in the year following a consensus to do so by The Church Management Group. The new quote now includes investigating the cause of the ceiling damage, and the other area that has been identified with cracks before the repair process to the falling ceiling can commence; MFL Conservation Ltd has quoted for this in addition to PDS Plaster Ltd.’s quotation obtained by the Church’s architect, Stephen Oliver.

With regards to funding, Fiona North has kindly offered her assistance to help with grant application following the List B approval by the Archdeacons office which has now been obtained for the plaster repair works.

Another funding option that has been investigated for the ceiling repairs, The Lightening conductor and Surge protection repairs/replacement as highlighted in the Quinquennial inspection report as “needing urgent attention” is to consider putting in place an Insurance claim; this will incur £1000 excess on each of the claim.

The Fire extinguishers are due to have the annual check in February 2024. The ones in the boiler room were missed during the previous in test so they will be tested / replaced, as necessarily required during the annual check.

We have had a number of well attended wedding, funerals and other functions this year which have given us parking problems, and damage in the churchyard consecrated ground. It was on record from last year that “We hope to plant trees marking the late Queen’s Jubilee and Archbishop’s “Green Corridor” this will be on the north side of the drive. It is hoped to plant Rose bushes on the opposite South side and hopefully, this will solve the problem and stop the parking on consecrated ground”. We had a number of School visits from both the Royal School and Wolverhampton Music School.

We welcomed back Wombourne Choral Society on 25[th] March 2023 for a performance of Mozert Vespers. Also, Graisley Primary School visited for their Carol Service.

Car Parking: During the year we have sold parking places to several new local companies, a welcome increase to our income.

St Chad & St Mark Report 2023

Dear members of the PCC, in our first term of office, we have been concentrating on making a start on the work needed to be completed as picked up on the previous quinquennial, as well as other projects which have been put in place through various funding that has been secured.

St Chad`s has a large and diverse congregation, from around the globe. This in itself makes it a unique church, both in worship, pastoral care, outreach and mission.

Church and Grounds

As you are aware there are still ongoing problems with damp and loose plaster within the church building, the screen that was fitted last year to protect members from falling plaster is still in place. The grating was re-cemented after work was completed on the heating system and is now safe and no longer a trip hazard.

There are talks going ahead regarding the roof and how we proceed with repairing the various problems of rendering, plants growing through the spaces, and the ingress of water. This will include talks with architects’, the Diocese, and various people regarding obtaining funding and grants.

The boiler system and heating works were completed by Mellor and Mottram and the system is functioning now as it should. We are grateful for grants from the Benefact Trust, Rowlands Trust and James Beattie Charitable Trust for this work. The domestic operative is still employed by the DCC and continues to clean the Church and toilets two days a week.

The commercial bin obtained from Wolverhampton Council continues to be emptied on a weekly basis and domestic bins fortnightly.

Community Centre

The Community Centre is now open and being used for various activities and projects.

Thanks to very generous support from the Marsh Trust and City of Wolverhampton Council, the work was completed on the kitchen, new disabled all gender WC. Jericho foundation builders completed the work, and this is now signed off.

Activities and Projects

There are various activities taking place throughout the week, some of which are in partnership with other agencies. Tuesday - Hub for Grub 12pm – 1.30pm

Wednesday - City of Sanctuary run a drop in, in the Church.

Thursday - Sewing me Sewing you 10.30- 1.00pm (run in conjunction with Arun Bector BME Housing Consortium)

Friday -Places of Welcome 10.30-1pm which involves a sewing club, gardening, furniture restoration (in conjunction with Arun Bector, BME Housing Consortium), yoga class, and help with looking for employment or changing jobs (in conjunction with Wolves at Work)

Sunday – Football Club 1.30pm run by two members of the congregation Henok Eshetu and Isaac Vivian continues to grow.

The little Eden project also run on a Friday supervised by the garden Chaplain Annie is as usual doing amazing work around the church and vicarage, the impact this makes on the mental health of the people who attend is extremely beneficial.

Saturday – The Saturday food market runs 12-3pm, which is still proving extremely popular with on average 40 - 60 families and households being helped. This is staffed by volunteers on a weekly basis from the church congregation and members of the wider community. Both on a Friday evening collecting the surplus food and setting up and running the market on Saturday.

The community fridge is now in place and this alongside the new kitchen helps with providing adequate storage and acceptable standards for food and hygiene.

There are increasing members with Food and hygiene certificates.

Page 7

The Community meal takes place after the Eucharist Service on a Sunday. This is cooked by both members of the congregation and is attended by both Church Members and wider community with between 60-90 people attending each week.

The grant from the Church Innovation Fund for the project “All God`s people” project was used to fund various projects.

Interviews were held for the post of Worship and Events enabler and Adrian Moore was given the post for a contract of two years. People now gather for Worship at 10.30 and are led by Adrian and members of the music team in joyful songs. This has proved extremely popular.

A Garden Party for the Kings Coronation was held in the summer and well attended by members of the local and wider community.

Yalda night was held for the Persian Community in December.

As part of the All Gods people project Rev Dr Evie Vernon was given the post of Mission Accompanier. Various workshops and two away days were attended by various members of the DCC and facilitated by Rev Evie.

Payam Hemmatpour continues to work as Iranian/ Kurdish Community Worker.

There are four members of the Ministry Team currently on the Chad Foundation course.

We look forward to seeing the All God`s people project develops and the continued impact it will have on leadership, worship and pastoral care.

Statistics for Mission

In 2023 there was an average weekly attendance of 87 which included 70 adults and 17 children

There was 1 funeral and no weddings held in church.

There were 29 adults and children baptized in 2023 and 14 Confirmations.

Safeguarding

Charlotte Ball agreed to take on the post of Safeguarding Officer and all the relevant people are up to date with their DBS. All the current safeguarding training is up to date. This is confirmed by the Parish Safeguarding co-ordinator on an ongoing basis.

Children`s Church

The childrens room is still awaiting the heating pipes to be boxed in. Childrens church continues to be well attended, and the children enjoy a mix of learning and structured play led by various members of the ministry team and others with appropriate DBS.

Nishkam Primary

Nishkam Primary school is visited on a weekly basis during term time, where forty minutes of bible teaching is given by Rev Valerie and Dawn Eliis to around 8 Children.

Curate

Rev Helen left in March to take up her new post as Mission Priest to St Chad`s and Christ Church Bloxwich. A new Ordinand Alex Cama will be joining us to take up a placement in the near future.

Rev Valerie remains at St Chad`s and we continue to be blessed by her valuable ministry and Pastoral Care.

Rev Ray will be licensed as Interim Minister for All Saints in the Central Parish on 19 March 2024, and we look forward to seeing how God will lead him in the development of All Saints.

Page 8

Future Plans

There are plans to bring all relevant paperwork and documentation on site and into the Vestry in a lockable cupboard, so access can be gained by all who need it.

New Albs need to be purchased in smaller sizes for the children who serve on the Altar.

Work to the roof will be started after funding and discussion of the best course of action to take are put in place over the coming Spring/summer.

We would like to thank all who support the work of St Chad and St Mark in their many different ways, each and every one of you are a blessing. Carrying out God`s work tirelessly showing Kingdom values and the love of Jesus in all you do. So many people give their time, talent and efforts to enable the church to continue to flourish and support so many.

We are truly blessed to be a part of such a special, lively, diverse, welcoming, inclusive and unique family, God`s family. We look forward to seeing where God leads us this coming year as we move forward in faith.

All Saints Report 2023

Report not received from All Saints

Financial Review

PCC of Central Wolverhampton

Net Total Assets: £1,573,806 [2022 £1,605,746] (Deficit): £95,026 – Unrestricted Deficit: (£55,057) Restricted Deficit (£39,970) [2022 Excess £18,925]

The figures above are shown before any Gains/losses.

2023 saw the General funds in each Church amended to General fund. General-P St Peters, Central-J St Johns, Western St Chad and St Mark, Southern All Saints. This will make recording more efficient and the accounts less confusing. All of the transactions are detailed in ‘Analysis of transfer between funds’ on pages 38 – 42

All Saints :

Excess: £2,559 – Unrestricted Excess £2,866. Restricted Deficit (£307) [Deficit – (£394) 2022] Total Net Assets – (£23,894) [(£33,248) 2022]

We have seen an increase in the Total Net assets because the £6,794 common fund liability shown in 2022 was transferred to the other three churches to pay in 2023. However, following consultation Wolverhampton Central received a special assessment from Lichfield of £5,469, which helped enormously. All Saints therefore have not had to pay their share of the Common fund request in 2023.

We have also received a special assessment in 2024 of £5,762 with St Peters, St John and St Chad and St Mark paying the remaining £51,858 meaning that All Saints will not have to pay any share of the Common fund request in 2024.

The income has reduced from £10,469 2022 to £5,357. However, this will be because a grant of £4,242 was paid in 2022 for repairs to the Solar panels which of course was paid to the contractor. The most notable differences other than grants 08A1 are 0101 Gift Aid collections a small rise, 0550 donations a reductions and small reduction in the Solar income 1030.

Expenditure has also reduced from £10,863 2022 to £2,798 again this is because of the work on the Solar panels 2710. The most notable differences apart from the Solar panels are 1910 no common fund paid, and small increase in other salaries 2051 and Church Running-Gas.

Loan payments weren’t made in 2023 and Lichfield has placed a moratorium on interest, so the balance remains the same as 2022. All Saints continue to pay the caretaker, but this will be kept under review in 2024.

Page 9

Having met with the Archdeacon and agreeing that Ray Gaston will now take over as Team vicar there, All Saints have 3 years to positively turn around their finances. Without this proposition it would be doubtful that All Saints would remain a ‘going concern’

Thanks go to Ken for his support and hard work during the year.

Parish Account :

Excess £759 [£1,277 2022]

Everything is posted to agency accounts apart from Interest and fees for Crematorium fees.

Pioneer

Excess: £260 – Restricted excess £260 [£657 2022]

The income for WPM has reduced because standing orders have been cancelled.

They are not meeting so there are no physical collections.

However, WPM have built up substantial funds over the years and now hold £33,797 [£33,537 2022].

The only expenditure is the Insurance.

I have been informed that the Methodist Church have taken over Wolverhampton Pioneer Ministries and the funds we hold will be transferred for them to hold. I have emailed Nicola Turner and Rob Turton to transfer the balance to the Methodist bank account. We did write a cheque, but this was returned ‘not signed in accordance with the mandate’.

The balance should be transferred in 2024.

Page 10

St Chad & St Marks :

Deficit: (£43,151) – Unrestricted Excess: £874.52 - Restricted deficit: – £44,026). [Excess: £24,816 2022]

The unrestricted is simply spending less than income collected. There have been increases in 0101 Gift Aid collections, 0301 Loose plate collections, 0550 Donations, 0801 Grants. We have seen reductions in 08A1 non-recurring one-off grants and 1230 Church Hall lettings and 0201 Non-Gift-aid collections.

The expenditure has increased from £56,219 2022 to £177,463. This of course is because of the Kitchen major works £96,634. The restricted deficit is because we have spent in 2023 the grants that were received in previous years.

We have employed two people for the All-Gods people project. The salaries are paid by payroll at Lichfield and then debited to the financial accounts 2051 with the corresponding credit being credited to 0801. We have claims for expenses still waiting for payment. These will be physically transferred from Lichfield bank account to St Chad & St Mark bank account. I continue to chase these payments.

Thanks go to Chris O’Brien for his continued support and hard work.

District Treasurer’s Report

It is pleasing to report that the level of voluntary income is very similar to last year. Setting aside the transfer of £12,000 from the St Mark’s Hall fund, our unrestricted funds show a deficit of £900 for the year (once the transfer to the cleaner fund is included).. Income from lettings was substantially down, but interest from investments substantially up, as a result of increases in rates.

It was expected that Common Fund would be unchanged this year, but All Saints’ share of the payment has been divided between the other district churches, so we have paid more. The payment made was slightly in excess of what was required, so we have a credit of £471 transferred to 2024. The separate fund for the cleaner’s wages was substantially in deficit; it has been balanced from unrestricted funds and will be combined with unrestricted funds in 2024.

Our restricted funds continue to be used for the purposes for which they were designed. We have benefitted from several generous grants during the year. The Marsh Trust not only paid the balance of their original grant (£30,000 on top of the £20,000 given in 2022) but agreed to two additional contributions as costs rose, bringing their total grant over the two years to £78,450. This has ensured the completion of the Kitchen Project; we await the final bills from both Jericho Construction and APEC architects, now that snagging has been completed. Contributions from Rowlands Trust, Benefact Trust and the James Beattie Charitable Trust covered more than half the cost of the repairs to the heating pipes. CWC has given £6000 towards the cost of community meals and a further £1000 towards general community use. In addition, the Diocese gave £400 and CWC £250 towards an event to mark the Coronation in May and the National Lottery made a grant of £2000 towards the Mayor’s Big Lunch in September. Hubbub have contributed a further £1000 to the Community Fridge and also gave £600 under the heading ‘Eat your Pumpkin’. We are grateful for all these contributions which support the community work of the Church.

The accounts show that the cost of pipe repairs, over and above the grants, has been taken from the Fabric Fund. As that fund is held in a share-based investment, this means that the value of the shares must now be considered as being split 50/50 between Fabric and Unrestricted funds, leaving £14,000 of our unrestricted funds where they cannot be accessed quickly and are subject to stock market variation. The DCC will need to consider whether this is appropriate.

Individual donors have been thanked for their contributions during 2023. As last year, it is important to express thanks to all who have made donations in kind during the year. We are also fortunate that Ray claims no expenses.

St John’s:

Deficit – (£11,804) [(£3,989) 2022]

St John’s have seen an overall increase in Income from £26,489 in 2022 to £33,221. It is probably easier to list where there haven’t been increases but the most notable increase is 1001 Dividends from £5,388 to £9,444. Whilst Car parking 1302 has seen a small reduction we are now issuing permits and ensuring that all clients are paying the same rate.

There has been an increase overall in expenditure from £30,479 2022 to £45,026. Gas and electricity have seen a reduction, however, there has been an increase in 2330 Church maintenance as asbestos had to be removed.

St John’s have paid their share of the Common Fund in full.

The trustees of AFH Wealth Management investment are now recorded as Graham Bennett, Alfred Talabi & Vicky Szyman so the investment is now being managed on a discretionary basis. The income paid in 2023 was £9,444 and the capital has increased from £298,146 2022 to £309,763 approximately a 7% return. We may need to sell some shares in 2024 from the investment as the cash in the current account continues to decrease year on year. We are allowed to sell down a maximum of £56,763 as the original investment was £250,000.

Thanks go Graham and Alfred for their support and hard work during 2023.

St Peters:

Deficit (£43,648)– Unrestricted Deficit – (£46,792) Restricted Excess - £3,144. [Deficit - £3,442 2022]

Income has reduced overall from £155,963 2022 to £142,472. The most notable differences being 0301 Loose plate collections, 08A1 non-recurring one-off grants where we have seen significant reductions. However, on the plus side we have seen an increase in 1262 Café sales.

Expenditure on the other hand has increased from £159,384 2022 to £186,121. The most notable differences here are 2060 Music staff payments, 2401 Electric where we have seen a reduction, 2410 Gas where we have seen an increase. Other areas of significance are St Peters house gas and electric.

It would appear to be the utility bills that have been the main contributor to this year’s deficit.

The capital value of investments has seen an increase from £795,314 2022 to £819,658.

The income these investments produce has increased from £25,816 2022 to £25,639.

Thank Deborah for her continued support and hard work during the year.

We continue with the procedures put in place by the Finance Committee and we will continue to revisit annually. I continue to sample check.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £62,173 [2022 £64,397]. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was £251,102 [2022 £248,205] which is considerably higher than this target. The Trustee feels that a higher reserve is prudent in these uncertain times. Particularly as most of the reserve [£232,427] is invested in stocks and shares which provides income. The investment will be used should capital be needed.

Investment Policy

The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance (CCLA) in London. AFH Wealth Management and EFG Harris Allday

The charity’s investment policies are based on two key principles: -

Investment policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regard to the need for the preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating income at excessive or high risk – known as “purchasing income”, where high returns are guaranteed at the expense of capital.

In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made:

The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following:

Planned giving, collections and donations are the main sources of fund raising along with tax recoverable.

Safeguarding

The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults)

Reporting Serious Incidents

A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss of the charity’s money or assets, damage to the charity’s property or harm to the charity’s work or reputation.

The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year.

Fundraising

The PCC takes its fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC takes full responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals, or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful.

Volunteers

The members of the PCC would like to thank the 73 volunteers who work so hard to make our Church a lively and vibrant community.

Page 13

Risk Management

The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for child protection and for work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission under registration number 1130297. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2[nd] January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).

The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC met 4 times during the year. [Given its responsibilities, the PCC has several sub committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These include Finance and Standing Committee. Each reports back to the PCC with the minutes of their meetings.]

Related Parties

There are no related parties employed by the PCC or awarded contracts for work.

Donations from Related Parties

Donations from 16 related parties [PCC Members} during the year totalled £10,427 [2022 £7,840]. All these donations were received without condition.

Remuneration paid to Trustees.

None of the trustees have been paid any remuneration or received any other benefits from employment with the PCC.

Expenses paid to Trustees.

Two trustees were reimbursed £200 [2022 £150] for travel during the year.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of The PCC of The Parish of Central Wolverhampton Registered charity number: 1130297

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 which are set out on the following pages.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility

Basis of 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 those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 Examiner's Statement

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

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.

The Parish of Central Wolverhampton Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31[st] December 2023

Accounting Policies

The Financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis.

There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements 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.

Cashflow Statement

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a cashflow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties relate to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period

Description of Funds

Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.

An explanation of purpose of each Designated fund are as follows:

Page 18

Restricted funds comprise of two elements:-

An explanation of purpose of each Restricted fund are as follows:

Page 19

Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.

An explanation of purpose of each Endowment fund are as follows:

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Resources Expended

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Governance and Support Costs

Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. St Peters house is revalued at 31 December annually using the Nationwide house price calculator and shown on page 44.

Page 20

Investments

Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.

Debtors

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured as cash expected to be received

Creditors and Accruals

Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
