The Parochial Church Council of Newcastle St Giles with Butterton Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

Charity registration number: 1130602

Objectives and Activities

The Parochial Church Council of Newcastle St Giles with Butterton (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Joshua Penduck, 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 Newcastle Under Lyme with Butterton. 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 non sacramental 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 Newcastle St Giles with Butterton, 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

Rectors Report 2021

Objectives

The primary objective of the PCC is to promote the Mission of God (Mission Dei}, evangelistic, pastoral, social and ecological, in collaboration with every member of the two congregations. Our Mission Statement is that we seek to ‘learn about God, to demonstrate

his love ...... and to share our faith with others’. In the context of St Giles with St Thomas this is done through regular public worship, catechism, pastoral care both individually and through occasional offices, engagement and/or collaboration with community organisations, groups and visiting individuals, and through environmentally sound care of our churchyards.

The secondary objectives of the PCC during 2021 were to:

Review of 2021

Throughout 2021, St Giles with St Thomas have attempted to recuperate and regather after the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a temporary shut-down from 11[th] January to 4[th] April, we have managed to maintain worship throughout the year. Special events included the following:

We unfortunately had to cancel the Co-Op Memorial Service on 28[th] November, and the COVID Memorial Service on the 11[th] December due to rising COVID cases.

Other important things to note are the following:

CURCH WARDEN’S REPORT 2021

“Time flies when you are having fun”

The past twelve months have flown by so the job as a Warden must be good!

The previous wardens at St Giles, over their extended term, dealt with, amongst many other matters. two interregnums and Covid. Over the past twelve months since we took on the position as Wardens of St Giles our term seems to be panning out in a more practical nature.

We have encountered many challenges: where are the hymn books, collection plates, what is the format for baptisms, where to find keys, what is a wand?! The Deputy Wardens and members of St Giles have been very patient answering our never-ending questions. Suddenly we realised that although we were regular attendees, we generally had a lack of knowledge as to how St Giles works and of the number of volunteers who go quietly about their business keeping the church running.

To give a brief résumé of what we have been up to, we have encountered rats, swarms of flies in the tower, broken fire alarms and emergency lighting, bunches of homeless keys, a leaking roof, been in attendance in the church to facilitate various workmen, funerals, weddings, organ tuners etc, rotas and finally falling downspouts with associated roof damage, for which we have attended meetings with builders and scaffolders and consulted with insurance loss adjustors. We could probably fill several pages with jobs we have undertaken and completed, and ongoing jobs.

We do have, on an almost a daily basis, various people who prefer the bohemian way of life. These visitors frequently create problems for us within our grounds, with tents and considerable amounts of rubbish, (human rubbish included), needles etc which we have had to remove. Talking to people whilst engulfed in clouds of ‘whacky backie’, ‘Hey Man! ’. We do try to deal with this problem sensitively but sometimes we have had to call upon the assistance of street ambassadors from BID and also the police for their specialist knowledge and help.

We have also taken on responsibility for St Thomas, Butterton. Much work has been carried out along the drive removing weeds and overhanging trees to make St Thomas more presentable and accessible. They are shortly going to have hot water which will make hosting their forthcoming exciting events easier, washing up in cold water is not pleasant. They also had two drainpipes which were blocked with various objects, one has now been cleared with the water that had been held back soaking both Dennis and David. They are waiting for a dry warmer spell when the second drainpipe will be cleared. Work is also in hand to repair the lead on the bell tower. We would like to thank the committee at Butterton for their hard work in promoting the church and wish them all the best in their forthcoming events which will be advertised in the Parish News magazine during the year.

Working as a team is the only way to approach being a Warden. We both bring very different skills, which compliment each other, and we also need to thank both Dennis’ wife Marilyn and my husband David for their support.

Finally, we need to thank the congregation of St Giles who have supported us, answered our ongoing and never-ending questions and embraced the changes we have made.

BUTTERTON REPORT 2021

As we began the year our Church was still closed so we relied on the U tube service from St Giles, some of which were recorded in Butterton church and involved Butterton worshippers

It was a first for Butterton to host the Easter Dawn service in April. The sun rise on Easter day in the mist of our church in the woods was very moving

It was a joy to renew worship in church in May

We have welcomed different families to church for five burials of ashes, Two funerals and two weddings. All these visitors remark on the quiet peaceful setting we offer.

The cleaning team keep the interior of the church bright and shining, whilst our church wardens and helpers maintain the heating and grounds The encroaching shrubs have been cutback and the bordering grass kept tidy along the drive

The Butterton group with a remit to involve and encourage the village in activities organised a busy programme which started with delicious afternoon tea, served outside (due to covid restrictions) Again a special prebooked coffee event was well attended by villagers and friends

On a damp windy day several intrepid runners completed the field-based fun run also enjoying activities in the fields A welcome warm cuppa and cake were appreciated in the chill air.

The Quinquennial report flagged up essential tasks and gave guidance for future maintenance

In December we enjoyed carol singing along the church drive to support the Children's society This involved Mary on a pony (a donkey was not available) lead by a star to the church to bring Jesus to the manger waiting in church . Mulled wine and mince pies round a bonfire and roasted chestnut s from the fire pit set the scene for Christmas. We the enjoyed short concert of Christmas music organised by Oliver and a group of singers from the Daleian choir This raised £275 for the children' s Society

Christmas Day communion was a step back to what we hope will be continued worship at St Thomas' The regular worshippers at St Thomas ' are very grateful to the St Giles team who ensure we have a service every Sunday

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WORK REPORT 2021

FURLOUGH

My post was furloughed for the first 8 months of the year due to the ongoing pandemic and lack of church funds.

During this time, I voluntarily continued to provide Bible activity sessions via email twice a week to our church families and toddler groups. I maintained contact with our families where possible and delivered Easter cards and a token gift to Little Fishes children.

Our numbers had initially grown at the beginning of this period. However, as society began to gradually reopen I noticed a decline in the amount of contacts I was receiving from our younger congregants.

TRAINING

In August I attended a diocesan training day on "Re-engaging with Families". It was interesting to learn that all the represented churches complained that the numbers of families attending church had plummeted and some churches had completely lost all their families.

Where a reason was ascertained for a family’s departure it was usually that they were trying to fit in as many experiences into their weekends as possible. They feared another lockdown and they felt deprived of precious family adventures/outings.

FURLOUGH ENDS

I officially returned to work on 1 September and tried to hit the ground running by hosting a Family Fun Morning on my first day. We were delighted by an attendance of 14 children, 9 carers and 6 helpers who joined in games, made bird feeders, and took part in a short outside service where Rev Josh blessed our olive tree in the Children's Corner.

I began to assist Rev Josh at church with his newly created school service called GLOW.

LITTLE FISHES

Little Fishes re-opened but unfortunately the continued flow of younger children entering the group had been interrupted with the majority of the group having moved up to nursery.

Despite all my best efforts over the Autumn term the number of children we were able to attract weekly plateaued at 3, plus their parents. Many more families tried the group but were put off by the small numbers. After a term, Rev Josh decided to close the group and we included a celebration of all the years of fun and teaching we'd experienced at one of the Sunday services.

MESSY CHURCH

Messy Church returned in October with a "Light" theme. We operated a booking system, capped the numbers and introduced some safe pandemic practices. A very respectable 18 children and 28 adults, (bearing in mind the Covid problem) attended.

NEW CONTRACT

On 1 November I signed my new contract which reduced my hours from 16 to 4.5 to reflect the depleted financial circumstances of St Giles.

However, I am immensely grateful to the two people whose donations made it possible to serve our great and gracious God in this wonderful loving church. Thank you!

It has been my privilege to carry on with as much of my previous work as possible by offering my time as a volunteer.

NEWCASTLE LIGHTS SWITCH ON

Myself and other volunteers getting involved in this civic event provided a great opportunity to publicise our children's services. For example, Marie-Claire and I worked with 50 children plus their parents in two hours.

ADVENT PARTY

The latest Mini-Messy Sunday attracted 20 children and 15 adults to learn about and prepare for Advent

Page 9

ALL AGE WORSHIP

Family services have resumed and the numbers of younger attendees have been very good. Rev Josh's hard work in school seems to have paid off:

Sept 16 Children 50 Adults Oct 37 " 73 " Nov 24 " 64 "

NATIVITY/CHRISTINGLE

This service held up very well despite the strange times with 47 children and 98 adults hearing the story of Jesus' birth.

ONE MORE SLEEP

Our Christmas Eve service delighted our congregation for yet another year. Thirty-two children and 42 adults attended.

THE NEW ERA/NEW GROUPS

From January 2022 my energies will be directed towards Sunday mornings. And St Giles will have a family friendly worship session to offer children and their families each week via:

  1. Shine: a families group which will run each first and third Sunday of the month.

  2. Lighthouse: the new name for Mini-Messy Sundays. The 3 trial sessions were very popular and we hope to build on this success.

  3. Family Services via "All Age Worship" will continue on the second Sunday of the month.

  4. Messy Church will run each quarter led by myself and supported by our great team of volunteers.

  5. JAM Packs will be available at the back of the church for the very odd occasion (like a Messy Church week) when there is no specifically family tailored worship. The packs will contain some fun Bible activities, crayons and a glue stick to keep children occupied during communion.

CONCLUSION

Thank you to our wonderful and faithful volunteers, Messy Church contributors and the two generous funders of my post! You are very much appreciated! None of this work is possible without you. God bless you!

St Giles Newcastle with St Thomas Butterton Parish Administrator Report 2021

So, anther year has passed, and I still don’t actually know what my job is!! although things are steadily falling into place, and it is quite full on supporting the many aspects of St Giles and St Thomas life and keeps my brain busy!

2021 has remained strange with weddings planned once again being postponed or even cancelled. 16 services for Baptisms were held with 19 children being baptised which is wonderful. Rev Josh has new strategies in place for managing the planning of these important special life events. I think I have learned just how busy Rev Josh is with activities other than the obvious day to day of services and known activities in our two churches. I am no longer surprised that he is hard to get to talk to sometimes!!

Funerals and memorial services at both churches accounted for half of the funeral services conducted by the ministry team in 2021 all across Newcastle.

Our regular hirers of the church hall returned more solidly through the year, and we now have Monday and Tuesday evenings occupied properly by the Guiding groups, Tuesday lunchtime and Friday evening by SCA Community choirs, and Thursday mornings by the Keep Fit group. Friday coffee shop is also re-established on a fortnightly basis. The Staffordshire Sight Loss Association are a new group hiring the facilities on a regular monthly basis.

We managed to hold our APCM, moving it to May 2021 in order to more safely hold it as a face-to-face event.

Parish News and Memo have remained online items but also become physical ones too with increasing numbers of people wanting physical copies and using these to reach out to the wider local community. Thanks to Michael for persevering and teaching me how to efficiently copy it for you and also for tirelessly producing amazing magazines each month. Parsh News receives high praise from far beyond Newcastle! I apologise for the still regular memo bloopers: I am getting there!

Editing the website is easier but we still need to update it properly and time is our biggest challenge there: I am not a tech witch!

It is great that we are working more normally; booking folks in for services which I suspect we would rather not be doing, has been immensely helpful with sorting out the annual statistics!!

The role learning curve remains steep as Revd Josh and I continue to discover what he needs from me and what the parish will need as we move towards the amalgamation of administration for St Thomas with that of St Giles’ and adjust to changes from diocese, the Church of England, government and from within the church and parish. I appreciate the support and guidance from all of you in helping our churches and parish function well.

St Giles Churchyard Management Plan, Green Team Report for 2021

The St Giles Churchyard Management Plan, 2019-2023, is a five-year joint enterprise between St Giles Church and Newcastle Borough Council. The St Giles Plan is funded by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £25,000. Volunteers in the St Giles Green Team tend the flower beds and borders, remove litter, publish articles in the Parish Magazine and in 2021 have begun to record the St Giles Headstones and Memorials for posterity. The Council maintains the lawns and keeps the drives and pathways clear.

2021 was again a successful year and a Green Flag was awarded by ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ the sponsors of the Green Flag competition. The Newcastle in Bloom competition, which St Giles has previously entered, was cancelled as it was in 2020 due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

The ongoing programme of bulb planting on the south side produced another fine display of daffodils in the spring. Some areas of grass were not cut to allow them to mature as a wild flower meadow. Damaged bird boxes were replaced. A pair of Peregrine Falcons took up residence on the tower roof. Trees were planted including a Thuja occidentalis and Brown Turkey Fig as part of the Rector’s Creation and Climate Emergency events for Years 3,4 5 & 6 of the Academy and an Olive was planted for the Mums and Toddlers Group. The 2021 rooted Christmas tree was also planted. Extensive mulching, to prevent heavy weed growth, was carried out beneath the Blue Cedar by the south east gate. Some 500 more daffodil bulbs were planted in November by pupils from Year 4 at the Academy, who also helped to build a ‘Bug Hotel’ using recycled materials, and by members of the Green Team, congregation and visitors to the Friday coffee morning. Many of the bulbs were supplied under the Council’s Planting Assistance Scheme for which St Giles is grateful.

The Guides held a ceremony in March to bury a time capsule in the Churchyard to celebrate the Centenary of their establishment in Newcastle under Lyme. Katherine Robey, curator of the Dorothy Clive Garden, visited in September to meet members of the Green Team for training and provided valuable advice. She also spoke of the many groups receiving therapeutic experiences at the Dorothy Clive Garden and the similar opportunity which the Churchyard presents.

A project to record the Headstones and Memorials, both in the Church and Churchyard, was initiated in September. Data collection is some 30% complete. The project is time consuming and will need the input of significant support and resources if it is to be successful. Thanks go to the volunteers who have taken up this challenge so far. The Plan’s previously proposed Genealogy project will not go ahead as no DNA samples were recovered during the main Churchyard Rehabilitation project.

A Churchyard lighting scheme has been under discussion for some time and benefited from an informative visit from the Diocesan Lighting advisor in December. It is hoped to progress this scheme in 2022 and partially fund it from the Management Plan.

Protection of the Saxon Stone was discussed with the Diocesan Archaeologist. Light brushing to remove the moss growth has been recommended.

Expenditure on the Churchyard Plan in Year3 (2021) was £1120.12 and total volunteer hours recorded were 251. Not all voluntary input has been recorded. A Draft Management Plan for 2022 has been prepared for PCC consideration with an ambitious programme. It is hoped that St Giles will again enter the Green Flag competition in 2022.

Volunteers are warmly invited to join the Green Team to assist with the gardens, the Headstone and Memorial project and other planned works in 2022.

Grateful thanks are due to the Rector and Clergy for their support, the dedicated Green Team Newcastle Borough Council and to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their funding of the project.

MINI-MARKET REPORT 2021

Many years ago when the Friday Coffee morning was set up, it was with the intention of encouraging the public to come into the Church for light refreshments and to socialize with other people, and perhaps encourage them to join our Congregation.

A book stall, a Haberdashery stall and a Fancy goods stall was added at a later date, which not only provided extra interest, but was a means of raising cash towards church funds.

Prior to the Coronavirus outbreak and the 2020 Lockdown the Stalls were proud of their achievement of raising up to and above £2,000 per annum. But like many aspects of our Church Life the cash has been greatly reduced; however, since the Mini-Market re-opened in September 2021 we have managed to raise so far £625.

Our re-opening in September was warmly greeted by many of our regular visitors, but also by Church members who help on the Stalls and in the Coffee Bar.

Although the Stalls open on Friday mornings, we owe a big 'thank you' to John and Barbara, Dennis and Charlie who takes turns in laying-up the tables etc. on the day before. Thank you must also go to the people (mainly Peter and Jim) who help to put away the tables and chairs at the end of the Coffee morning.

For the future we plan to carry on providing a warm and safe place for people to come and enjoy our Church coffee mornings. Long may St Giles "Outreach" continue to play its part in the Life of OUR Church.

1[ST] NEWCASTLE BROWNIES AND RAINBOWS 2021

It has been a very busy year again for both Rainbows and Brownies, but COVID has caused one positive for us as the numbers of girls at 1st Newcastle have unexpectedly flourished due to many units in the division closing and the demand for places is high. Numbers are currently - Rainbows 22 girls and Brownies 16 girls.

Rainbows and Brownies have followed similar activities including:

A Beetle Drive Divali Celebration Firework Challenge D.I.Y skills Chocolate Heist Evening Ten Pin Bowling Christmas Themed Activities

A new badge has been introduced for girls and an adult - the adult attends with the child for 3 weeks

This has proved very popular as a completion. The adult gets a certificate and the child gets a badge.

In Rainbows - 1 GoldAward was achieved In Brownies - 3 Gold Awards were achieved

Unfortunately, the Brownie Division Centenary Pack Holiday that was re-scheduled for May 2021 has finally had to be cancelled due to Covid

Brownie residential weekend “Spy Theme” in March 2022 is planned.

Generally, it has been a good year, but Covid has had a big effect and we are trying to maintain some sort of normality. Adult volunteers are still wearing masks at the moment but there are some improvements as we are now allowed to sing and serve refreshments to the girls again - hopefully this will continue into 2022.

The Staffordshire Choirs Association Report 2021

After another difficult and challenging year, as an organisation we continue to use the church every Tuesday 12.30pm- 1.45pm for our Staffordshire Daytime Community Choir (Newcastle) rehearsals and also now for our Staffordshire Community Choir on a Friday evening 7-8.30pm.

In 2021, as a choir we were able to start meeting outdoors in May, and so daytime outdoor rehearsals became a regular weekly occurrence, with the weather mostly being very kind to us. We invested in a gazebo, and rehearsed outdoors with a ‘hardy outdoor bunch’ of choir members. Our Staffordshire Ladies Choir met on a Monday afternoon, and our Staffordshire Community daytime Choir met on Tuesday lunchtime. We continued to rehearse outdoors each week, and who knew that umbrellas, raincoats, hats, outdoor chairs would become a choir requirement! We continued to meet outdoors until we were able to resume indoor rehearsals in September 2021.

We continued to stream rehearsals online, using Facebook and Zoom as there were some choir members who were not ready to return in person at that time, but we started to welcome back members who we hadn’t seen since March 2020! We maintained guidelines that we had used on the previous occasion when we were allowed to meet, mask wearing, no one moving around the rehearsal space, social distanced seating plans and hand sanitising on arrival and departure.

Thank you to St.Giles for providing an accessible venue for us to safely rehearse in and enabling us to continue to meet as a choir community. Thank you for your faith in us that we would work in, provide and leave a safe, clean and sanitised environment for all individuals using the space. Thank you also to Penny Richards for being our point of contact for all matters relating to using and accessing the church.

STAFFORDSHIRE SIGHT LOSS ASSOCIATION PEER SUPPORT GROUP REPORT 2021

Overview and Aims

In August 2021 Staffordshire Sight Loss Association began to deliver a peer support group at St Giles’ Church in Newcastle. The group runs from 10am until 11.30 am on the last Tuesday of each month.

The group aims to bring local people together who have a shared experience of sight loss so that they can share experiences, tips and information. Sight loss can be life changing, it can affect every part of a person’s life, it can affect a person’s emotional wellbeing as well their ability to complete practical tasks such as reading, cooking and getting around safely.

Meeting other people who understand because of their own experience of living with sight loss can have many positive benefits. Speaking to someone who has faced similar challenges and emotions as a result of sight loss and hearing how they have overcome challenges and manage day to day tasks can boost confidence and independence. This may include sharing information about equipment that can help, services and concessions that can be accessed and general tips.

Sight loss can also be isolating, it can affect communication and a person’s confidence to mix with others, to get around and to take part in social and leisure activities. These issues can lead to loneliness and feelings of isolation. Our groups aim to be an opportunity and safe space to socialise, to have fun and to build friendships.

Although this is a new group we are already seeing some of the above benefits. We are a community-led charity and have let the group decide if they would like us to organise speakers and activities. At this point the group are happy to just meet for a chat and to share information. We always provide an update from the charity as well as useful information about other organisations and services. On several occasions we have taken daily living and mobility equipment to the group and have provided demonstrations, this has included items such as video magnifiers, talking clocks, eye shields and canes. We also provide tea, coffee and cakes.

Attendance

This group has been running for 6 months. Between August 2021 and January 2022 we have held 5 sessions, (we didn’t hold a group in December due to the date falling between Christmas and New Year). The average attendance per group over that time has been 7, with a maximum attendance of 9. We have had 12 individual people attend the group with most people attending more than one session and some people attending all sessions. Friends and family are also welcome to the group. Of the 12 attendees, 10 are people who have sight loss and 2 are spouses.

Quotes

“I think it’s great that there is now a group for people with sight loss in Newcastle, it’s been needed for a long time, it would be really good to get some other activities and events in the future that are local to us” “I really appreciate how the charity approaches things and listens to what we want, it has helped me to meet other people who understand what I am going through and I have learnt some really useful things and been given some good advice.”

Conclusion

We feel that this group has gotten off to a great start and we are very happy with the attendance and outcomes to this point. We have had attendees who have never accessed our services previously and this is evidence that community-based services such as these are beneficial and can be more convenient and accessible for local people.

MOTHERS UNION REPORT 2021

Sadly, we have not been able to resume our monthly Mother’s Union meetings. This is because of the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions about meetings. Some of our members found it hard to start mixing again. After in depth discussions with Rev Josh and Rev Ann, it was decided to close our branch. We had reached a natural conclusion.

On Sunday 23[rd] January 2022 we had a special segment in the morning service dedicated to Mother’s Union. The Bishop of Stafford attended, and it was a very emotional and moving service.

We are going to start a new, all-inclusive friendship/fellowship group in March 2022. Everyone is invited. It will be different from Mother’s Union but will retain the strong bond from before

Financial Review

Total Net Assets: £209,987

Deficit: (£4,599) – Unrestricted deficit (£3,343) Restricted deficit £1,255)

St Giles – Deficit (£3,421) Unrestricted deficit (£3,342) Restricted deficit (£78)

Overall income has reduced by £25,000 but that is mainly due to the reduction in donations. However there was a generous donation in 2020 of £40,000. It is encouraging to see that collections have all increased when compared to 2020. Fees for weddings and funerals have also increased along with Mini market and magazine sales.

Expenditure has also reduced overall by £20,765. This is mainly down to the reduction in Parish share by £17,762. Surprisingly there has been a reduction in gas and electricity. It may be worth ensuring that we are not paying estimated bills building up a deficit for the future. All other areas have seen a reduction by approximately £1,000 - £2,000 with increases in other areas by the same amounts.

The paperwork continues to be sent weekly which improves efficiency and the online banking is also helping with efficiencies.

I would like to thank Penny for her sterling work in making sure that I have all of the information needed to ensure that your accounts are up to date.

St Thomas – Deficit (£1,777)

Everything for St Thomas is posted under a restricted fund of Butterton. Most of the restricted figures will belong to St Thomas’ in the accounts making it easier to identify.

Whilst income overall has increased by £1,117 planned giving- envelopes has reduced by £2,251 and donations increased by £1,887. Tax recoverable reduced by approximately £1,000 but this would be because of 2020 giving.

Expenditure has also reduced from £15,546 to £10,840. You will see that there is a minus figure against code 1801 – this is because of a transfer from St Giles to St Thomas towards the cost of the Lightening conductor of £720. I used this code so that it would stand out because the two amounts cancel each other out as it should – it is neither income or expenditure in either of the accounts. However St Thomas did send £300 to the Children’s Society.

There was a £2,300 reduction in Organ tuning and £700 in Upkeep of services.

St Thomas’ paperwork also is sent through on a weekly basis along with the envelopes which I record for the Gift Aid secretary.

I would like to thank Pat Cawthorn for sending through the statements on a monthly basis so that St Thomas’ accounts are as up to date as possible.

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 £24,862. 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 £58,472 which is higher than this target.

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.

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

Page 17

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 it 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 take 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 all of the 35 volunteers who work so hard to make our Church a lively and vibrant community.

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. 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 8 times in 2021. Given its responsibilities, the PCC has a Finance sub committee which reports back to the PCC with the minutes of their meetings.

Related Parties

Apart from Penny Richards no other PCC members or any related parties work for the PCC or have received any contracts to carry out work on behalf of the PCC

Donations from Related Parties

Donations from related parties during the year totalled £5,794.50 All of these donations were received without conditions.

Page 18

Remuneration paid to Trustees

One or more of the trustees has been paid remuneration or has received other benefits from an employment with their charity.

Penelope Richards is employed as the Parish Administrator. The post was advertised and two applicants interviewed. Penny was felt to be the best applicant based upon experience. The PCC of the Parish of Newcastle St Giles with Butterton discussed Penny remaining as a Trustee [without Penny present] It was felt that her many years of serving the Church gave her suitable experience to continue as a Trustee.

Penny Richards was paid £4,170 in 2021.

No pension contributions were paid for Penny by the PCC and no other benefits paid.

Expenses paid to Trustees

No Trustees received any expenses.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of The PCC of The Parish of Newcastle St Giles with Butterton

Registered charity number, if applicable: 1130602

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 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 independ ent 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31[st] December 2021

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 explantation of purpose of each Designated fund are as follows

Restricted funds comprise of two elements :-

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

Page 23

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:

There are no endowment funds.

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.

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. Other tangible fixed assets are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are 50% per annum.

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
