Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England, a registered charity and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.

The method of appointment of PCC Members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Regular church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to consider standing for election to the PCC. Newly-elected PCC members are encouraged to attend an induction course for PCC members provided by the Diocese. Representatives of the PCC are asked to attend other relevant training events, report back to the PCC as a body and disseminate printed information where appropriate.

Committees

The PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC.

Standing Committee:

This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.

Members: Rev’d Ian Snares, Allan Brawn, Bob Wheeler, Jan Smith, Elaine Hoey and Colin Mason.

Finance Committee:

Supports the Treasurer’s work, oversees the general finances of the church and makes recommendations to the PCC.

Objectives and Activities

St Wilfrid’s PCC is required, as stated in the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956, to cooperate with the minister, The Rev’d Ian Snares and the Churchwardens in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. That mission is carried out through St Wilfrid’s Church. The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for St Wilfrid’s church building, halls and the grounds surrounding them.

St Wilfrid’s Vision Statement:

Our vision for St Wilfrid’s is to be the heart of our community.

Disciples who make disciples

In 2020, the PCC met twice in person and four times by Zoom with an average attendance of between 12 and 13 people. Our curate, Rev’d Julie Jackson commenced her maternity leave during this year.

An additional meeting was arranged in November to consider our response to the Deanery Plan: and 14 people attended.

General objectives continue to be met by the provision of a broad range of services, meetings and groups for different ages and interests at St Wilfrid’s Church and through engagement with the wider community. The clergy have visited schools, provided occasional offices (funerals, weddings and baptisms) for parishioners, and laity and clergy have visited homes to offer prayer, pastoral care and support.

Many volunteers have made an enormous unquantifiable contribution to the work of St Wilfrid’s Church, the equivalent of many hundreds of hours given in the form of cleaning, gardening, catering, fundraising, visiting, leading youth and children’s work, prayer ministry, flower arranging, printing, maintenance, leading groups, leading worship, preaching, administration, finances, etc. The PCC thanks all who so willingly give their time and skills.

Highlights of 2020

Our pattern of services continued, as in previous years, until 15[th] March 2020.

From 19[th] July a weekly service of Simple Holy Communion at 9am was offered, continuing until 1[st] November, then recommenced from 6[th] – 20[th] December.

The PCC and Churchwardens discussed carefully the prevailing levels of infection and government guidelines in selecting this timetable.

New people and “fringe” members of our church joined in with the services, at 11.00 on Sunday mornings (changed to 10.45 when the broadcasting on-the-hour wasn’t possible). Some stay for coffee via Zoom after the service.

Plans for 2021

2021 started in lockdown, our third within 12 months. With services suspended, and much of what we do focused online, the impact has been dramatic.

However, the enforced changes have given us the chance to reflect on our purpose and even consider why we exist. This has meant that this time of Covid has not been wasted. We have seen God at work despite the challenges and are now asking what it means for St Wilfrid’s to be the Parish Church for Cowplain (plus parts of Horndean and Waterlooville) in the new post-Covid world we are about to enter.

We have focused our purpose - the ‘why we exist’ - on Jesus’ Great Commission, given to his disciples following his resurrection. He tells them (Matt 28.16-20 NIV) :

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said,

‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’

Jesus calls us to be his disciples who make disciples. We don’t do this on our own – we have his authority and he has given us his Holy Spirit to guide us and inspire us. We are called to following the footsteps of Peter, James, John… and the countless followers of Jesus through the ages who have caught what it means to be his disciple and to pass it on.

This is our exciting purpose! It’s nothing new, but in our changing world we must ask how do we – both as a Church and individually – grow in what it means to follow Jesus and help others also to do so? One of our guiding Bible verses over this last year has been Isaiah 43.16-19, where God declares that he is doing a new thing. God’s character never changes, but how he works to build his Kingdom does. We want to be in tune with him, allowing Jesus to be our guide as we seek to impact our communities.

Whilst we have lots of questions (and our new Strategic Development Group will be helping us answer many of them), there are some clear principles and priorities that are emerging.

Worshipping together is important. It is where we grow together in being ‘Church’. As we declare God’s glory, power, majesty, we receive so much from him. As we come together, we each bring our gifts and support one another.

Covid has disrupted our corporate worship and has also allowed us to ask those challenging questions about how we should meet together once allowed to do so freely. What should our pattern of Sunday worship look like? How else should we worship together through the week? How do we best equip all ages to grow in being Jesus’ disciples? How do we help those unable to come to church – the elderly, sick, those with young families for whom church is difficult? Our Church Online weekly Facebook and YouTube service has become a focus for many, and we must also ask how we should develop online worship. As we look to develop our post-Covid pattern of corporate worship, the inconvenient truth is that we cannot go back to where we were in March 2020.

Our Spring 2021 focus has been on developing Connect Groups. This is our new name for our variety of small groups, not least our homegroups that have faithfully met for many years. However, our focus is shifting from being a church with some small groups, to being a church made up of many small groups which include and welcome many kinds of people.

Connect Groups are key to us helping each of us to grow in our faith. They provide pastoral care and challenge us in our witness. Covid has been a big disrupter, with face-to-face groups unable to meet for considerable periods of time. However, new groups have been formed (or reformed) online using Zoom and this has allowed many more people to get involved. We are looking to ‘hybrid’ future, with a mix of groups meeting in the best ways for their members. We are also praying that our groups might grow as more want to get involved. Who might you invite?

7

We have also looked afresh at prayer being at the heart of St Wilfrid’s. Again, this is nothing new! But a praying church is a thriving church, where God has a knack of working in powerful ways. So we are keen to ensure we hold regular days of prayer, and to find ways to encourage and equip us in our praying – both individually and together. We are looking again at what it means to listen to God, how we can grow in allowing him the space to speak to us. And of course, we want to develop our intercessory prayer, bringing to God the needs of our community, nation, world and all who need his touch and healing.

Moving out of lockdown will bring lots of challenges as to how we reach out to our local community. How do we best bring God’s love to all in Cowplain and beyond? How do we make disciples of those who currently don’t know that Jesus loves them? We don’t have all the answers, but here are some practical areas we want to develop:

Finally, we are also working with Portsmouth Diocese and Havant Deanery in developing our new Deanery Plan. Our Diocese’s vision, Live|Pray|Serve, is focused on growing in depth (we might call discipleship), impact (we might think of as how we serve our community) and number (we might call evangelism). This fits so closely with how we sense God leading us at St Wilfrid’s. It will involve us working much more closely with other local parishes, seeing how we can use all the resources God has given us to grow. This is something to embrace, with a healthy St Wilfrid’s focused upon growing as Jesus’ disciples who make disciples able to provide a leading input beyond our parish boundaries.

Electoral Roll

At the APCM in 2020 (held on 22[nd] October, by Zoom and in person), there were 176 names on the Church Electoral Roll, compared with 172 in 2019.

Financial Review

As readers will be only all too aware, 2020 was (hopefully) a unique year that bore little reference to preceding years – therefore, comparisons to 2019 finances are generally meaningless and have only been included to show how the limitations imposed on church and church hall opening have impacted the financial position. Additionally, all forecasts (which have been based on 2019 as the latest representative year) for 2021 are significantly dependent on both the scope and timings of re-opening the church and church hall, and the extent to which the operation of restricted services during the enforced Covid-19 lockdown is unwound.

Total receipts to the General Fund were £106,611 (a reduction of £16,329 or 13.3%) on 2019), of which £97,684 (a reduction of only 2.3%) was unrestricted voluntary donations, including £17,900 tax recoverable on Gift Aid.

Planned giving through blue envelopes, banker’s orders and PGS was significantly up (£6,708) on 2019. Loose plate collections reduced by £5,622 or 72%, reflecting the absence of the regular full 3 service Sunday worship from Apr onwards, whilst donations increased marginally by £260 or 5.2%.

Income from hall lettings decreased by £5,856 or 46.5% on the 2019 figure due to the protracted church closure. In view of this, no increase in hire charges is proposed for next year. Income from fees for funerals and weddings similarly decreased on 2019 by £2,354 or 74.8%.

£108,829 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St Wilfrid’s Church, a decrease of £12,193 or 11.2% on 2019. This included fully meeting our contribution to the diocesan Parish Share of £85,069 (that was £607 or 0.72% more than 2019) and largely provides the stipends, pension contributions and housing for the clergy. [Note: The sum that the churches in the deanery must find is shared between them according to a formula that is based mainly on headcount (average weekly attendance) of the congregations, but also dependent on the relative assumed wealth of the parish.] The sum we must pay in 2021 is £81,603, a decrease of £3,466 (4.1%) over 2020. This reduction is greater than anticipated and reflects the Diocesan understanding of the pressure on church finances and its preparedness to accept greater risk in its own finances.

The overall nett result for the year was a loss of receipts over payments of £967 or 9.8% in the General Fund balance at 3 Dec 2019. Nett changes (after income, expenditure and inter-fund transfers are taken into account) for the aggregate balance on Designated Funds is a is a £2,351 reduction. The amount held in Restricted Funds decreased by £67. The total reduction across all Funds was £3,385, or 6.6%.

The balance carried forward at 31 Dec 20 on Unrestricted and Designated Funds was £35,597 of which £5,288 has been set aside for the Evangelism Fund (used, for example, to fund the Alpha and Restore courses), £18,399 for the Growth Fund (to be used to update and upgrade our Information Technology and Audio Visual capabilities to better support our administration, services and any new mission initiatives which hopefully will be

enjoyed by existing members of the congregation and at the same time impress any visitors and those seeking a vibrant welcoming church to join and £1,107 for Community Coffee Cup. Any new/further projects may need additional specifically targeted fundraising.

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on the Unrestricted General Fund which equates to at least three months payments on unavoidable (non-discretionary) running costs. Based on the average monthly spend in 2019 this would amount to some £30,250. This balance would smooth out fluctuations in cash flow (expenditure versus receipts) and meet emergencies, eg the lift requiring further major repairs without which the Upper Hall would be largely un-usable. Whilst remaining a financial objective, the effects of Covid on the cash balance during 2020 have all been negative ie reducing the Unrestricted General Fund balance on 31 Dec 20 to £8,867, only 29.3% of the target – which means that there is less than one month of liquid cash reserves readily available to meet monthly liabilities. Whilst the overall balance on all Funds at 31 Dec 20 was £70,058, £34,461 or 49.2% (of which £22,000 is the value of the additional land behind the Memorial Garden is held in Restricted Funds) can only be used for their legally defined purpose, with a further 38.2% (£26,729) held in Designated Funds where the PCC has varying discretion over how the funds are expended. Therefore, the monthly management of receipts and expenditure in the General Fund is akin to a ponzi scheme where one month’s income is necessarily used to pay some or all of that month’s expenses. It remains the PCC’s intention to increase the General Fund over time. Scope for increasing income from investments (i.e. the Virgin Savings Account) is limited due to low interest rates and the relatively small balance in the account. Overall, the monthly situation of receipts and payments against the General Fund must be regarded as one of fragile stability; any unanticipated material decrease in income or increase in expenditure could have significant consequences in both the short and medium terms.

A ‘profit’ in the General Fund amounting to £724 is forecast for the end of 2021. This reflects forecast increases due to general inflation on utilities and maintenance costs which have been offset by the reduction in the Parish Share. But, given uncertainties over the ability of the church to generate income from loose plate collections, fees, hall rental and fayres, this figure is highly speculative.

Charitable giving

Charitable giving through the church was significantly reduced because the church was closed for much of 2020 resulting in the cancellation of events and services from which our charitable giving is normally derived. £1,680 which is equivalent to 1.6% of total receipts to the General Fund income (0.8% went overseas). This is below our target of 10% and is something that we will attempt to address in 2021 if our post-Covid financial position allows. [Note: These calculations only consider gross income to the General Fund. As necessary expenditure exceeded income it has not been possible to calculate the percentage against nett income.]

Policies and Risks

The PCC has identified major risks, and procedures have been established to manage them, as follows.

Finance: A detailed budget is prepared and agreed by the PCC each year. The Treasurer provides an update comparing the current situation to the budget at each PCC meeting (with additional detailed monthly updates to the Finance Sub-Committee since Mar 2020 to ensure the General Fund remained solvent whilst payment of our Parish Share was maintained), and action is agreed as necessary in order to reduce costs or increase income.

Most of our reserves are invested through Virgin Money in order to bring in a market rate of interest and mitigate some of the effect of inflation. Reserves are intended to cover any deficit on the year, major repairs, replacement of larger items of equipment and special projects.

Health and Safety: Our Fire, Health and Safety Policy was reviewed and approved at the 24 January 2019 PCC meeting. All groups using our premises are expected to be familiar with this policy and comply with it. Risk assessments are made for new and one-off activities. The lift is checked and serviced every six months. The fire alarm, extinguishers, emergency lighting and portable electrical equipment are tested regularly and inspected in accordance with current regulations. Although the kitchen has not been inspected, action continues to be taken to maintain these facilities to a high standard and ensure good health and hygiene practice for by those who use them.

10

IT Policy: The IT Policy was drafted in October 2014.

Insurance: The PCC is fully insured through our Ecclesiastical Insurance Parish Plus policy.

Safeguarding: The PCC’s Safeguarding Policy and Policy Statement were both reviewed and renewed on 12 July 2018 (and again on 23 January 2020). This has taken account of the ongoing changes to national and diocesan safeguarding guidelines and changes have been made following discussions with the diocesan safeguarding advisor. However, further National Church changes will impact our policy.

Mrs Val Strutt is our Safeguarding Officer and reports regularly to the PCC. All adults who offer to work as volunteers with children and/or vulnerable adults are required to undergo the recruitment procedure, including a Confidential Self Declaration Form and also obtain the necessary DBS clearance before they take up the role. All such volunteers are required to read the diocesan guidelines and attend appropriate training courses provided by the diocese. Groups using the church premises are made aware of our safeguarding policy and are asked to ensure that their own policy and checks are fully up to date.

Conclusion

We praise God that he continues to bless St Wilfrid’s, so that we can bless others - locally in our community, in Havant Deanery, Portsmouth Diocese and in many places further afield. We give thanks for all that has been given and shared, for worship and witness, for prayer, fellowship and faithful service to the glory of God. We look forward to the exciting future that God has in store for us!

We are greatly indebted to every single member of our churches who voluntarily gives of his or her time, practical skills, spiritual gifts and money to build up our fellowship in the Spirit, grow our discipleship in Christ, and enable us all to continue to play our part in God’s mission of love to the world in Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for all you do!

St Wilfrid’s Church Annual Report for the year ended 31[st ] December 2020

2020 Accounts of the Parochial Church Council of St Wilfrid’s Church, Cowplain

Explanatory notes to the accounts

  1. The accounts are being reported on a receipts and payments basis as agreed by the trustees at a full PCC meeting on 26[th] November 2015. The accounts are presented in accordance with guidance in the 5[th] edition of “PCC accountability” which conforms to The Charities Act 2011 incorporating SORP 2015.

  2. A budget for 2021 is included in the accounts. This was accepted at the PCC meeting on 14 Jan 21. All finance projections are based on the final figures for 2019.

  3. Assets are still declining and an expected big spend in the Growth Fund on a new audio-visual system will significantly reduce the holding in the bank accounts and therefore our overall liquidity.

  4. The liabilities (£546) shown in the statement are due to transactions in the “Agency post boxes” ( money that passes through the church bank accounts but is not for church funds ) that could not be completed in the financial year. The significant items are £464 owed to the Diocese for 2020 Q4 fees and £97 owed to the Leprosy Mission.
