## **Objectives and Activities** 

All Saints’ PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting within the parish the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical). 

We are: 

- a family of people of all ages, for whom God is important and has a central place in our lives; 

- ordinary people who try to follow Jesus Christ; 

- people who care about the values of our society and the life of our local area as well as the world around us; 

- part of the Church of England, administering the sacraments and teaching the faith as received from the Apostles; and 

- a very social group of people who enjoy meeting together for quiz evenings, beetle drives, parties, afternoon teas and much more... 

An “Open Church” strategy lies at the heart of our thinking in terms of outreach and mission. As a church in the Catholic tradition, we hope to bring the life of prayer and the transformation of all things in Christ to the day-to-day concerns of all men and women of good will in our community. We want our church to be an Open Church. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

We welcomed Fr Ian Chandler to the parish when he was inducted on 23 February 2020.  This was a wonderful occasion and we were full of hope for the future, only for the church to be closed due to Covid on 17 March 2020 for 15 weeks – a devastating event.  We are grateful to Fr Ian for continuing to celebrate Mass and making  it  available  to  us  during  the  lockdowns  through  livestreaming,  and endeavouring to serve the parish as best he could through the rest of a very challenging year.  The average Sunday attendance, counted during October, was 30.  Given the Covid restrictions this compares well with the average number of 36 in October 2019. 

We had planned a full year of social events for 2020, and the year began well with a Burns Night Supper in January and then a Beetle Drive in March.  But the pandemic regulations, which first closed the church and then prevented people meeting together, led to the cancellation of the rest of the programme including both the Summer and Christmas Fairs.  In December we were unable to hold our usual Advent and Christmas Carol Services or the Crib service for families, and numbers  attending  Christmas  services  were  severely  restricted.   A  second lockdown would follow in the 2021 New Year. 

4 



As the church was closed for much of the year our Sunday School was also closed, and many of our planned charitable collections during the year were cancelled. In addition the Arts Festival and our Open Days were also cancelled. 

At the beginning of the year there had been several bookings to use the church for recordings, but of course most of these were cancelled too. 

However, All Saints continued to play its part in the local community.  Father Ian joined in with the Thursday evening tributes to the NHS by ringing the church bell, and the church building was used for storage by local volunteers making laundry bags for NHS and essential workers. 

We were eventually able to hold an APCM at the end of October when a cheque was presented to Fr Richard Buckingham.  He had been an immense support to the parishioners during the interregnum and this gift was a token of the parish’s gratitude for all he had done. 

## **Safeguarding** 

The PCC has given due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults., by accepting and endorsing the principles set out in  the Diocesan policy for safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults, ‘Safeguarding in the Diocese of London’.  The PCC has adopted a policy statement which confirms, as follows: 

- Every person has a value and dignity, which comes directly from the creation  of  people  in  God’s  image.  Christians  see  this  potential  as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. 

- We commit ourselves to nurture, protect and safeguard all our members, particularly children, young people and adults at risk. 

- We recognise that safeguarding is the responsibility of the whole church. 

- We  undertake to exercise proper care  in the selection, appointment, training and support of those working with children or vulnerable adults. 

- We will respond without delay to concerns or allegations that a child or vulnerable  adult  may  have  been  harmed,  cooperating  fully  in  any investigation. 

- We will challenge any abuse of power by anyone in a position of trust. 

- We will seek to offer pastoral care to anyone who has suffered abuse. 

- We will seek to offer pastoral care and support, including supervision and referral to the proper authorities, to any member of our church community known to have offended against a child, young person or vulnerable adult. 

The  PCC  has  appointed  a  Church  Safeguarding  Officer  and  a  Children’s Champion, as required by the Diocesan policy.

## **Financial Review** 

Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £123,356 and are detailed in the Financial Statements.  The share portfolio, which is held in trust for the church, started the year with a value of £466,223 and the value at 31 December 2020 was £538,429 (which included a withdrawal of £20,000 from earnings/dividends  during  the  year,  together with  a  repayment of  £60,000  in connection  with  the  roof  repairs  project).   We  received  restricted  income  of £9,972. 

Excluding  costs  relating  to  maintenance,  £112,739  was  spent  to  provide  the Christian  ministry  from  All  Saints’  Church,  including  the  contribution  to  the Diocesan Common Fund, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy.  The PCC agreed this year that, due to uncertainty about the level of income in 2020, the parish’s Common Fund contribution for 2021 should remain at £62,000.  £33,330 was spent during the year on maintenance of the church, hall and grounds. 

£690 was spent on social and fund-raising activities.  £1,104 was paid to charity over the year. 

The net result for the year was a surplus of income over expenditure of £5,938. We were extremely fortunate to be in receipt of a substantial legacy from Anne Bussey early in 2020 which provided cash boost to our funds when regular income was disrupted by the pandemic. The net balance carried forward at 31[st] December 2020  for  restricted  and  unrestricted  funds,  including  investments,  totalled £694,574. 

A  more  detailed  breakdown  of  income  and  expenditure  can  be  found  in  the Financial Statements. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Main Deposit Account General unrestricted funds held in this account to be used at discretion of PCC.  Minimum reserve should be able to meet the costs of the PCC for at least 6 months (£50,000 for 2020).  Reserve, if possible, of one to two years’ costs of the PCC (£100,000 to £200,000 for 2020). 

White/Lord Bequest 

Restricted. The interest from this account can only be used for floral beautification of the church.  £2,000 (@ 31/12/20) of original capital also restricted as above.  The rest of the original capital (£4,885 @ 31/12/19) can be used for general funds, but only if absolutely necessary. 

Brett/Waller Fabric Fund Restricted, first call for altar or vestments, then fabric. 

6 



Vicar and Churchwardens’ Fund restricted to use for capital purchases or specific projects at Discretionary Fund the Vicar’s and Churchwardens’ discretion. No difference between capital and interest. Not to be used to meet general expenditure. 

Music Fund 

Fund restricted to paying for music related items. (ie purchase of sheet music, hire of singers etc). No difference between capital and interest. 

Holy Nuts Youth Club Fund restricted to youth work. Maintain a reserve of at least £200 if possible. If fund reaches £1000 capital purchases should be investigated. 

Barclays Current Account General cash fund.  Maintain at least £2000 to meet day to day expenditure. 

If fund grows to over £8000 transfer of some monies to the Main Deposit Account should be considered. 

Roof Fund Account 

Account restricted to collect monies specifically for the Roof Fund Appeal, including receiving grant payments from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and to pay invoices relating to the project. 

The PCC is aware that there are various works with respect to the fabric of the church which will be required in the next few years.  The PCC is aware that, now the renewal of the church roof and associated works have been completed, the redecoration of the church hall and kitchen is now due. 

It is our general policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England  Deposit  Fund.   Balances  of  accounts  as  of  31[st] December  2020  are detailed in the Financial Statements. 

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 10 May 2021 and signed on its behalf by The Revd Ian Chandler (PCC Chairman)

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES (THE PCC) OF ALL SAINTS’, EAST FINCHLEY** 

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out in pages 7 to 13. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)9b) of the 2011 Act;  and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** 

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 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 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 the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.

## **REPORT ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PCC, 2020** 

The Parochial Church Council met four times during 2020. 

At the meeting held on 22 January the PCC members were full of hope for the future.  Plans were finalized for Father Ian’s Induction and Collation on 23 February, and for a full social and fund-raising programme for the year.  Bookings (following the unavailability of the church building during the roof works) had picked up, and it appeared that the roof project would end with a small surplus. 

Then on 17 March the Church of England issued instructions that churches were to be closed. 

On 29 June the PCC members held a meeting for the first time using Zoom, as meeting in person was illegal at that time.  Mr Toms was pleased to report that the small rooves over the narthex had been repaired, and that a Practical Certificate of Completion for the large roof works had been sent to the Archdeacon.  He reported that the parish had received a generous legacy from the late Anne Bussey’s estate. 

On 9 September the PCC was able to meet in person in the church, observing social distancing.  Mr Toms presented the Final Report on the Roof project, and he and Ms Windridge were thanked for their hard work without which the achievement would not have been possible.  It was announced that the late Geoffrey Hanson, organist of the church for many years until his retirement in 2018, had left his piano and a monetary bequest to the church.  Plans were drawn up for the APCM (which had been deferred from the spring) to be held on 25 October. 

The Annual Report and Accounts for 2019, the Fabric Report and the Electoral Roll were agreed by email before the APCM.  After this a brief PCC meeting was held to elect the Council’s new officers.

## **CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT** 

## **Fabric Report** 

Under the “Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991” the Churchwardens are required to: 

- compile and maintain a full terrier of all lands appertaining to the church 

- compile and maintain an inventory of all articles appertaining to the church 

- record all changes in a log-book. 

- make an annual inspection of the fabric and furnishings of the Church. 

They are also required to report on the above to both the PCC and the APCM. 

The  following  information  was  reported  to  the  PCC  at  its  meeting  of  9th September 2020 and  is  hereby reported to the APCM, that works completed under a Faculty previously reported to the PCC and APCM were the practical completion of the works to the two low level roofs at the west end of the church, which was achieved on the 31st March 2021. 

As  a  result  of  the  Churchwardens’  inspections  of  2019/2020  the  following maintenance was undertaken: 

- the annual heater maintenance 

- the annual fire extinguisher maintenance 

- the replacement of lamps as necessary. 

## **Review of the Year** 

The logbook was updated to reflect all these works. There were no additions or deletions to the terrier and inventory. 

We began the year in interregnum. 0n the 23rd February 2021 the collation and induction of our new parish priest Father Ian Chandler was held with Bishop Jonathan officiating. We all joined together to welcome him to All Saints’, the church being filled to capacity, little did we realize that in a little over three weeks we would be in the grips of a pandemic with draconian rules restricting our movement and ability to physically unite in worship. 

18 



A lot of time this year has been spent dealing with our response to all the Covid restrictions and the changes that have been made on a regular basis. This began in March when the church building had to remain closed, as we were in the first lockdown for the Covid 19 pandemic no attended services were held from the 15th March until the 5th July although the Church was open regularly for private prayer. Fr Ian`s ministry with us had got off to the strangest of starts and he has worked tirelessly to ensure that Mass continued to be available on a regular basis via live streaming until we were able to join together. 

This  last  year  has  also  had  a  serious  effect  on  our  income  as  bookings  for recordings had to be cancelled. As the pandemic continued, we have been unable to let the church for almost the whole of the year. We were not able to hold our own church fundraising events to bring much needed funds into the church. 

We have continued to take an income from our investments and that is going some  way  towards  balancing  the books; perversely  our income exceeded  our outgoings and we showed a surplus in 2020 of £5,938.00. This was only because of the timely legacy received in March from the estate of Anne Bussey which has provided cash funds as our usual sources of income have been depleted, without this boost we would have shown a considerable deficit. We are most grateful to all the congregation who have continued with their regular contributions throughout the  year.  However  as  we  have  previously  reported  this  is  not  a  sustainable situation and  so we  do continue to ask  that everyone reviews  their financial contribution on a regular basis. 

The most significant element of our outgoings is our Common Fund payments to the diocese and we have undertaken to meet 75% of our parish cost on a year-byyear basis. These costs as well as the general running costs of the church will continue to rise and so it is important that everyone continues to review their giving on a yearly basis. 

The Churchwardens have a good working relationship with Fr. Ian and greatly appreciate all his support in our work. We are thankful for his leadership, care and support in all aspects of our parish life. Our parish is also blessed to be able to call upon the services of Fr Richard and we thank him for all the support he gives us. 

In 2020 we said to say goodbye to a number of our family of All Saints` , we continue to pray for the souls of John Iliffe , Stella Mayhew , Jennifer Bate , Geoffrey Hanson and Wilson Rai . 

The Churchwardens would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped to keep the church running during this difficult year with all the restrictions and preparing the church for re-opening when we were able too. We thank  all  of  you  who  have  continued  to  support  the  church  when  as  a congregation we have not been able to come together as much as we would have liked. A big thank you to everyone who continues to worship here; you are an 

19 



important part of the All Saints’ family and without your regular attendance, prayers and encouragement All Saints’ would not be able to flourish. 

_Alan Toms and Jennifer Daybell, Churchwardens_

## **MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING ON SUNDAY 25 OCTOBER 2020** 

**Present:** Father Ian and 21 members of the congregation 

## **1  Apologies for absence** 

Apologies were accepted from Carol and Robert Andrewes, Jenny Daybell, David Hamilton, Pamela Hann and Francesca Ross. 

## **2  Minutes** 

The minutes of the previous year’s meeting, held on 28 April 2019, were agreed and signed. 

## **3  Electoral Roll** 

20 



Received:  the report that three names – Clara Fiedler, Joseph Gardner and Elizabeth Ilguer – had been added the 2019 Electoral Roll of 74.  Sadly, four had dies and been removed – Jennifer Bate, Geoffrey Hanson, Stella Mayhew and Wilson Rai.  The 2020 Roll therefore had 73 names. 

## **4  Annual Proceedings of the PCC** 

Received:  the report on the proceedings of the PCC in 2019.  The PCC had met six times and much of their time had been spent discussing interregnum and the roof project. 

## **5  Annual Report and Accounts** 

Received:  the Annual Report and Accounts for 2019.  Alan Toms reminded the congregation that the parish income in 2019 had been significantly reduced because recordings had not taken place during the roof works, and warned that the financial position at the end of 2020 was likely to be much worse because of the restrictions caused by Covid 19.  Father Ian thanked the PCC members and the Churchwardens for their hard work during a difficult year, ensuring that parish life continued as normal. 

## **6  Churchwardens’ Fabric Report** 

Received:  the Churchwardens’ fabric report.  Alan Toms reported that the great achievement of the year had been the completion of the roof project, on time and within budget.  This should last for many years. There were always repairs needed to a building which was almost 130 years old;  the sound system needed improving, and the heating system could not work efficiently while doors were open due to the Covid 19 regulations. 

## **7  Deanery Synod Report** 

Received:  a report on the Central Barnet Deanery Synod, which had met twice in 2019 but not at all in 2020 to date. 

## **8  Safeguarding Report** 

Received:  the safeguarding report.  There had been one issue of concern in 2019, which had been reported to the appropriate authorities. 

## **9  Elections:** 

Deanery Synod Representatives 2020 – 2023:  Sally Atkinson and Brian Hooper. PCC members (three vacancies) 2020 - 2023:  Joan Law 

## **10 Independent Examiner** 

Appointed:  Jeffrey Nettleton. 

## **11 Other Business** 

(a)  Nick Starling thanked all the members of the parish who had contributed linen in the spring to be used by volunteers to make laundry bags for health and care workers.  So much had been given that Father Ian had given permission for it to be stored in the hall, which was much appreciated by the residents of Durham Road, and Nick thanked Father Ian for his support. 

21 



(b)  Alan Toms spoke for the parish in thanking Father Ian for everything he had done in the previous eight months.  It had been a very difficult start to his ministry in East Finchley, but he had ensured services took place and he had done so much to hold the parish together.  Alan said the parish was greatly in Father Richard’s debt, as he had had been such a stalwart support to everyone during the interregnum and had kept the parish together.  Alan then presented Father Richard with a cheque as a token of the parish’s enormous gratitude. 

(c)  Father Ian then thanked everybody for his warm welcome to All Saints’ which had sustained him through a very strange time, and he thanked the Churchwardens for their encouragement.  He then expressed his personal gratitude to Father Richard for his help. 

Father Ian had been very encouraged by the numbers who watched the livestreamed services, there had been over 200 during Easter.  It was not yet clear what services would be possible at Christmas, but while it might be different this year we should look forward and hope for better next year.  We must be flexible and take this time to pray and consider how to grow our community.  He asked everyone to think about how we can listen to what God is telling us and how we can live the Gospel, so that when the time came we would be ready to act. 

Chairman 

Date: 

## **REPORT ON CENTRAL BARNET DEANERY SYNOD** 

There are two representatives of All Saints' on the Central Barnet Deanery Synod – Sally Atkinson and Brian Hooper.  Two meetings were planned for 2020, but both had to be cancelled because of growing numbers of covid cases in the community.  In 2021 Central Barnet and West Barnet deaneries will join together and become the new Barnet Deanery.
