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. PCC members are required to undertake safer recruitment procedures such as DBS and confidential self-declaration forms and relevant training. New members are encouraged to attend an induction course 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. Ian Snares (until September 2022) Rev. Derek Johnston (from September 2022), Jan Smith, Steve Day 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

4

In 2022, the PCC met 8 times, with an average attendance of 10 people. Our curate, Rev. Julie Jackson commenced her maternity leave in September and Rev Derek Johnston joined us as a self-supporting curate in March and was priested in July. Amanda Sim was ordained deacon in July and left us to commence her curacy at Catherington church.

Ian Snares left us in September to become Vicar of Holy Trinity Church in Frome.

General objectives continue to be met by the provision of a broad range of services, meetings and groups for different ages and interests a t 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, Community Coffee Cup, 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.

Plans for 2022

Ian wrote last year “2022 started with Covid restrictions and concerns still remaining. However, the enforced changes gave 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”.

And our stated aims and objectives for 2022 were as follows, with comments below each one on the outcome

The Prayer Sermons were excellent, supported by a really helpful booklet entitled Prayer, the Beating Heart of Faith.

Prayer Spaces was arranged in 2022 for implementation in 2023.

Links through School Assemblies and visits from school to church were valued.

Please see below – we are delighted that people from our Toddler Groups often join Messy Church.

There were, of course, events that were not planned for, nor foreseen.

7

Rev Ian Snares, our Vicar, informed us, shortly after the APCM that he had been appointed Vicar of Holy Trinity, Frome and that he and the family would be leaving us in August. Ian’s official last day with us was on 7[th] September; his last Sunday service was on 31[st] July and his last Thursday Service on 4[th] August

On the day of Ian’s service of welcome to his new church in Frome, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth 11 died and at that service, Ian was among the very first to proclaim allegiance to the King.

When Ian left, the Deanery lost one of its Area Deans and we lost our Toddler Groups’ Leader as well as our Verger, since Jo, Ian’s wife had undertaken both of these roles. Padnell Junior School also lost one of its Governors, another role that Jo had undertaken.

Happily, there were people able and willing to take on responsibility to ensure that one of the Toddler Groups could continue, and soon after there were offers to reopen the second group. Both groups are very popular and we are most grateful to those who ensure that they can continue.

The Churchwardens were well supported by many people in responding appropriately to the news of the death of Her Majesty, e.g. in setting up a Book of Remembrance and offering opportunity for people to attend church and participate in a relayed Funeral Service; bell ringing and a formal “Proclamation” were other aspects of joining in with national and local responses to the situations as they unfolded.

Earlier in the year, in June, we had enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Anniversary.

Also in June our ECO Fair took place. The exhibitors enjoyed meeting and talking to us and to each other and taking advantage of a networking opportunity. There were relatively few members of the church, and members of the public present.

Also on hold has been our Mission Action Plan; we met in February – the whole church was invited – for a Re -Connect meeting, but with all the changes going on, the thoughts and suggested plans recorded on the day were never published. However, those notes have been really helpful in producing a tentative Mission Action Plan, which we trust will be useful to our new Priest-in-Charge, when appointed.

Bishop Jonathan made care for older people one of his two main priorities, in his presidential address at the April 2022 meeting of our Diocesan Synod, aiming to create a network of Anna Chaplains across the diocese.

The plan is to have an Anna Chaplain in every parish, benefice and cluster in our diocese. They are named after Anna, the widow and faithful older person who – together with Simeon – recognised the infant Jesus as the Messiah in the temple at Jerusalem.

The Anna Chaplain for St Wilfrid’s is Elaine Andrews. Elaine was licensed as an Anna Chaplain in November 2022.

Anna Chaplains minister to older people in the community, Elaine visits the Borrow Centre (Age Concern) and Nightingale Court Nursing Home.

A beautiful Book of Remembrance, created by Sonia Passingham, has been most gratefully received.

Services throughout Autumn and Advent and Christmas followed our usual pattern, and the constraints of Covid are disappearing. It is very noticeable, however, that despite constraints being

8

lifted, numbers of people participating in events has dropped noticeably – not just at St Wilfrid’s Church, but across all churches as we understand.

Our being in vacancy brought forth the need to be engaged in a whole new series of activities

We were blessed that Rev Ruth Loveman undertook the role of arranging the service rota and all services have continued – we are most grateful to our team.

Rev Derek Johnston joined us as curate in March and was ordained Priest in July and he and his wife Shirley have brought their many gifts (as well as a number of friends on occasions) to the parish. Amanda Sim was ordained deacon in July and has joined the parishes of Catherington and Clanfield as their curate: we miss her.

Rev Julie Jackson (our curate) commenced her maternity leave in September (we were delighted to hear of Hope’s arrival on 25[th] September, baby sister for Noah).

Preb Clive Williams, as well as his retired-from-lay-ministry, wife Sue have supported us throughout the year.

We owe a deep debt of gratitude to our Clergy and to Elaine, our Lay Reader and Anna Chaplain (please see above).

And we have had the responsibilities associated with recruitment:

As a church family we have produced a prayer for the vacancy and during 2022 made a very good start on our Parish Profile

We have greatly appreciated the support offered by the Archdeacon and Area Dean

And, finally, on December 27[th] we had the opportunity to meet Alison Giblett our CMS Link who works in Kyiv, to hear first-hand about life in war-torn Ukraine and all that God is enabling Alison and her colleagues to do.

We give thanks and praise for her and continue to pray for her mission and her safety.

So, what shall be our plans for 2023?

Electoral Roll

At the APCM in 2022 (held on 19th May, by Zoom and in person), there were 179 names on the Church Electoral Roll, compared with 176 in 2021.

Financial Review

2022 saw a return to some form of normality after two years of Covid-19 adversely impacting our finances. Additionally, forecasts for 2023 are significantly dependent on the return to something approaching pre-Covid activity and attendance levels for the church/church hall and assumptions about inflationary pressures on individual giving and church expenses.

Total receipts to the General Fund were £117,350 (an increase of £10,255 or 9.58% on 2021), of which £98,069 (an increase of 1.08%) was unrestricted voluntary donations, including £18,352 tax recoverable on Gift Aid.

Planned-giving through blue envelopes, banker’s orders and PGS was materially reduced (-£1,916 or 2.71%) on 2021- given a similar reduction in 2021, this is a worrying trend. Loose plate collections increased by £3,451 or 238.37% over 2021 figures, reflecting the return of regular Thu and Sun services in church, but this is some £2000 below the 2019 figure. Donations decreased materially by £1,137 or 19.85%.

Income from hall lettings was £9,217, an increase of £4,056 or 78.59% on the 2021 figure (income was £12,605 in 2019). In view of this, no increase in hire charges is proposed for next year. Income from fees for funerals and weddings was £1,680, an increase on 2020 of £148 or 9.66%. Aggregate gross income from the May and Christmas Fayres was ££4,699, an increase of £1,212 or 34.67% when compared to 2019 – well done the Fundraising Team.

£109,703 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St Wilfrid’s Church, an increase of £3,603 or 3.4% on 2021. This included fully meeting our contribution to the Diocesan Parish Share of £81,904 (that was £281 or 0.34% more than 2021) 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 whole parish population, ie not just the congregation.] The sum we must pay in 2023 is £81,904, so neither an increase nor decrease against 2022. This reflects the Diocesan understanding of the pressure on church finances and its preparedness to accept greater risk in its own finances. [Note: The Treasurer has written to the Diocese re the proportion of income taken to pay the Parish Share which, when all other essential expenditure is met, leaves little for the pursuance of Outreach and Christian Ministry within the parish.]

The overall nett result for the year was a gain of receipts over payments of £8,849 in the General Fund balance at 31 Dec 2022. Nett changes (after income, expenditure and inter-fund transfers are taken into account) for the aggregate balance on Designated Funds is a £3,964 increase – due mainly to transfers to the Legacy Designated Fund and Community Support Fund. The amount held in

10

Restricted Funds decreased by £6,961 due to transfers to Designated Funds approved by the PCC. The total nett increase across all Funds was £5,852 or 10.9%.

The balance carried forward at 31 Dec 22 on Unrestricted and Designated Funds was £54,388 of which £3,995 has been set aside for the Evangelism Fund (used, for example, to fund the Alpha and Restore courses), £16,756 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 £911 for Community Coffee Cup. Any new/further projects may be funded from the Legacy Designated Fund or 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 2022 this would amount to some £27,450. This balance would smooth out fluctuations in cash flow (expenditure versus receipts) and meet emergencies, e.g. the lift requiring further major repairs without which the Upper Hall would be largely un-usable. With the effects of Covid on the General Fund balance during 2020/21 having been largely reversed in 2022 the Unrestricted General Fund balance on 31 Dec 22 was £19,086, 72.15% of target. [Note: The significant increases in utility charges introduced in Q4 2022 and continuing through 2023 will have a significant negative impact on the General Fund balance.] Whilst the overall balance on all Funds at 31 Dec 22 was £81,524, £27,136 or 33.29% (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 43.3% (£35,302) 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 should be regarded as “hand to mouth” 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 – but this situation is being reviewed as interest rates are now increasing. 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 potential loss to the General Fund amounting to some £11,000 is projected for the end of 2023 – based on forecast further increases in utility prices and general inflation factors affecting everything we purchase. As always, we remain unendingly grateful to all who contribute to St Wilfrid’s finances, both through regular giving and in supporting our fundraising efforts.

Charitable giving

Charitable giving through the church totalled £6116. This is equivalent to 5.21 of total receipts to the General Fund income. This is a significant increase on previous years but remains below our target of 10%. [Note: These calculations only consider gross income to the General Fund. Additionally, they take no account of either discounted Hall Rental Charges for users with charitable status or the Parish Share which directly accounts for some 70% of income]. In addition, £350 from the Community Support Fund was used to provide Easter Hampers to Age Concern.

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 to ensure the

11

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 20 January 2022 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 those who use them.

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 Statement was reviewed and renewed throughout the year by reference to the safeguarding dashboard; this has taken account of the ongoing changes to national and diocesan safeguarding guidelines. However, further National Church changes will impact our policy, practice and training.

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 safer recruitment procedure, and where relevant 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 2022

2022 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 26th November 2015. The accounts are presented in accordance with guidance in the 5th edition of “PCC accountability” which conforms to The Charities Act 2011 incorporating SORP 2015.

  2. A budget for 2023 is included in the accounts. This was accepted at the PCC meeting in Dec 22. All finance projections are based on the final figures for 2022.

  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 (£2,132) 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 £462 owed to the Diocese for 2021 Q4 fees, £417 to the BRF, £497 to Waterlooville Foodbank, £600 held on deposit for a forthcoming wedding.

10 March 2023

The Secretary of the Parochial Church Council St Wilfrid’s Church, Cowplain

Independent Examiner’s Report – Year Ending 31[st] December 2022

Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

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

It is my responsibility to:

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 management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention

  1. Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. To keep accounting records in accordance with s. 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  3. To prepare accounts which accord with those accounting records have not been met; or

  4. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Neil Blanchard MBA FCCA ACG Honorary Independent Examiner
