The Annual Report
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish of St Mary and St Paul is chaired by the Team Rector of the Benefice, the Revd Canon John Williams, (inducted on 30[th] March 2017). He is supported by the three Team Vicars in the wider benefice and in the parish by self-supporting (The Reverend Luke Geoghegan) and retired clergy (The Revd Diana Spink and The Revd Canon Richard Leslie). The Revd Caroline Wainman was the Assistant Curate of the parish for the first part of the reporting period.
Aims and Purposes
The PCC believes that the purpose of the church in this parish is to promote within the ecclesiastical parish - and the church congregations - the pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical mission of the Christian Faith as set out by the Church of England. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Mary’s Church and Hall in the Old Town centre of Hemel Hempstead and St Paul’s building complex in Highfield. The buildings are viewed as a resource to be used by the congregations for public worship, baptisms, weddings, thanksgivings and funerals, parish organised activities and also extensively by the local community.
Objectives and Activities
In November 2019 the PCC agreed the following SMART Goals for 2020
-
To improve our media presence by a creating a completely new website which shows us as a spiritually active, welcoming and lively parish.
-
To improve our links with and support for the wider community around both churches.
-
To make our services accessible and welcoming for the congregations, especially people new to the church.
-
To develop more pilgrimage opportunities for members of the parish.
Wider events in the country as a whole has meant that these goals were not updated during 2020.
Focus and Meaning of our Activities
The regular Sunday and weekday services give a focus and meaning for everything else that happens in parish life. The worship of Almighty God is central to the way the Christian functions and the parish seeks to nurture and encourage this and to draw the whole community into this expression of God’s love and forgiveness. Remembering our historic status as the established Church and our responsibility to welcome everyone - with or without a faith – into buildings which speak of God’s unconditional love, we seek to keep our buildings open and welcoming as much as possible.
The church seeks to foster and encourage outreach and charitable works both from individual members of the church community and by PCC initiatives. The Clergy support Church and community by carrying out baptisms, weddings, funerals and special blessings for those who, regardless of their connection with the local
2 of 24
The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2020
worshipping community, feel at these important times a church service and the human contact that surround this is important. The connections with our local schools and the Uniformed (Scouting) Organisations within the parish continue to strengthen. The buildings we care for are greatly valued by these groups and this is very encouraging.
Pastoral Care
The Church seeks to offer pastoral support and care to church members and people within the community. The special monthly outreach to the residential homes is highly valued and these relationships have meant that the clergy are frequently called upon for special end of life care at other times. The monthly Pastoral Group meets on the first Monday of each month to discuss current pastoral needs and to pray for the sick, to discuss ministry to others on the margins and in need and to pray for them.
Mission and Community Support
Within the Parish there continues to be a strong sense of the need to support the under privileged here and abroad. The Parish was one of the main drivers to establish DENS (Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter) in 1993. It continues to support it through gifts of food and occasional donations.
Parish members volunteer with other local charities that help in defined ways like the Foodbank, Street Pastors, Citizens Advice, Liberty Tea Rooms, Christians Against Poverty, chaplaincy and the local Hospice.
Since 1998 St Paul’s has supported Christian Aid’s initiatives in Nicaragua and other donations from the whole parish included: the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal, the World Day of Prayer and St Mary’s Sunday School (Acorns) also periodically raises money for charity.
Members of the Parish established the UK Langa Pre-School Trust (LTPT) in 2011 and this independent trust is run on a voluntary basis in support of 500 children in Cape Town, South Africa. The Trust is supported in many ways by the Parish and each year sees some wonderful new and regular events to raise money and awareness for this important cause.
The Buildings
The Parish are custodians of buildings that need to be looked after and in particular one of these is Grade 1 listed, which needs maintaining and to be available to the public for church services, community & school events as well as for the general visitor. The Parish provides the framework that allows the maintenance of these historic buildings and the opening to the public to happen, so that the buildings are available to be visited by the public without charge as well as allowing them to be passed on to future generations. Work has continued both at St Mary’s and St Paul’s to improve the condition of all our buildings so that they are better able to serve community and parish.

Despite limitations to work this year St Paul’s – celebrating their 60th anniversary of the New Church – have added an important ramp for a fire exit, improved drainage and dedicated a special new rose bed (generously supported by a grant from the local county councillor). The installation of a new disabled toilet and servery/kitchenette in the west end of the north aisle at St Mary’s was also carried out during this reporting period and dedicated by the Bishop of Hertford. The PCC is grateful to all those who made these improvements possible.
Reaching out and coming in
2020 has been dominated by two periods of enforced church closure due to the Covid crisis and so this has seen many of our usual services, activities and hall hirings curtailed or cancelled. Both churches now have a Wi-Fi capability installed allowing regular zooming of services which also coincided with the launch of a new website.
Following the completion of the toilet and kitchen works, and with the introduction of CCTV, St Mary’s finally achieved the long awaited opening of the church building from 10am-5pm every day allowing a large amount of people to come in for private prayer, candle lighting, posting of prayer requests, listening to the music and making use of quiet space.
Our engagement with the Old Town market saw a pop-up café installed in December with possible future links to provide extra income and further draw people into using St Mary’s.
New noticeboards at St Paul’s and on the outside of the hall at St Mary’s have further enhanced our image and improved our communication to the wider community. St Paul’s hall use has increased greatly during this period and the welcoming of a toddler group to use the hall gives much hope for the future.
Financial Review
The year 2020 was totally dominated by the fight against Covid 19 and so very little about the year had any normality
Despite both churches being closed for many months Pledged Giving remained reasonably resilient and the generosity of a number of individuals who made ‘extra’ donations more than made up for any shortfall.
Loose plate and Church boxes were badly hit, though Church boxes and Card payments have recovered since the church started to be open every day. Many weddings had to be postponed and funerals in church were only possible in a limited way so Fee income was affected.
The combined income from Hall lettings was drastically affected with halls being closed for nearly half the year and working under severe restrictions even during the later months when their use was permitted. The result was a shortfall of around £13k against the Budget.

The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2020
With both churches closed for many months and no congregational singing allowed, even when they were allowed to reopen, the decision was taken to end the two year Contract of the Director of Music from 1[st] July. However, as his post was largely funded from the Salisbury Fund this did not materially affect the cash flow.
Inevitably almost every aspect of church life has been impacted from Utility usage to photocopying and Services Consumable, with consequent affect on the finances, so it is a minor miracle that the overall shortfall was able to be limited to around £7k and that a generous legacy from Norman Quail was available to more than cover this.
The Parish was able to Furlough all its Employees on full pay and are grateful that we qualified for the Government Job Retention Scheme to help cover these wages.
Our Curate Caroline Wainman moved on to serve in a new Parish and the Parish Share adjustment around the subsidy from the Diocese towards paying the rent for her house was beneficial to us.
Our CCLA Investment Fund showed a healthy increase in value of around £1k and this too helped to offset some of the running cost losses.
At the year end our Reserves are some £1k higher than at the beginning of the year.
In past years this report has included a summary of the significant differences from the Budget drawn up at the start of the year. However, this year has been so unlike anything that was foreseen so this tradition will not happen.
External giving has been severely impacted as services in church at Harvest, Easter and Christmas have been heavily restricted.
At St Mary’s the long-planned toilet and kitchenette were constructed and CCTV installed allowing the Church to be open from 10am to 4:30pm every day.
At St Paul’s a ramped exit from the Vestry area doors was constructed and a number of other external works maintenance and improvements carried out along with some remedial work to the internal panelling of the Parish Room.
Internet access was installed and is now available in both churches and both St Paul’s and St Mary’s Hall had new notice boards.
Most of the building work has been funded by income from Trusts, friendly organisations, Grants from Local Council Discretionary Funds and individual donations. The Friends of St Mary’s (£7.5k), the Salisbury Fund (£83k), the Listed Places of Worship Fund (£12k), and a number of smaller but equally appreciated donations. All these added up to a total of around £105k towards an equivalent expenditure. Although the work was all done in 2020 some of the payments inevitably have extended into 2021 while some retention payments from work done in 2019 were paid this year.
Art in The Nave and the Fair had to be cancelled but a Grand Draw was organised for December and raised around £1.2k.

Reserves Policy
In the context of the support available from the Salisbury Fund and the increasing challenges of balancing income and expenditure, the PCC decided in September 2019 that the year end General Fund reserve could, if needed, be reduced from £20,000 to £15,000 as the appropriate level of “free reserves”. This amount is seen as the sum required to provide a safety net for unexpected changes in circumstances and to enable the PCC to meet short term cash flow.
At their October 2020 meeting the PCC decided that the same policy should apply i.e. £20,000 preferred but reducing to £15,000 if absolutely necessary. The level of reserves in the General Fund at the end of 2020 was £21,481 so above the approved level. However, in view of the large amount of uncertainty that continues into 2021 with the ongoing Covid 19 situation, the PCC consider this to be generally in line with their Reserves Policy.
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers, including members of the PCC, who work so hard to support our church, both within itself and through its outreach. We are particularly grateful to our Churchwardens: Norma Podmore, Gordon Gaddes, and Emmeline Lambert along with their deputies Rosina Gaddes and Roger Sygrave, for their hard work and commitment throughout the year. The financial value of such work is incalculable and without it our church could not exist.
We also want to thank the full time, non-stipendiary and retired clergy who have continued to serve us lovingly and dependably. Their leadership, service and loving care are appreciated by both parishioners and by those outside the congregation who, through bereavement, marriage or just a life situation, come into contact with them.
The Parish was represented (during the first part of the year) on the Hemel Hempstead Deanery by Rosina Gaddes (Deanery Lay Co-Chair), Gordon Gaddes, Yvonne Doran and Michael Robinson, and on Hemel Hempstead Churches Together by the Revd Caroline Wainman (Trustee) and Ynis Richardson. At the delayed APCM Michael and Yvonne stood down from Deanery Synod and Lindsay Kemp was elected. We thank them all for maintaining these important links. The Parish has active membership of the local Interfaith Network and personal links are forged through this forum. Thanks, are also due to the Finance Committee, the Treasury Team of volunteers and also Norma Howie – along with Sheila Neep - in the Team Office for their dedicated and successful work during the last year. It is only with their highly relevant, uncomplaining and systematic work, that necessary but challenging tasks are completed.
Public Benefit
Under the Charity Commission registration, the Parish is described as an ‘established church providing regular public worship open to all; pastoral work including visiting the sick and the bereaved and promoting the whole mission of the
6 of 24
The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2020
church through the provision of activities for senior citizens, parents, toddlers and other groups’.
This is a challenging mission statement but in all their decision making the Parochial Council have the Mission aims in mind, and the Parish remains clear that the church, as an organisation, is there for the benefit of the whole community and not just the gathered worshipping church and wider supporters. Whilst it is often tempting for the parish to act in a way which is building centred we should remember that much of the undocumented work of the parish takes place away from our buildings and is not widely known to anyone other than the recipients.

Attachment to Trustees Report
In view of the extent of disruption that has happened this year as a result of the Covid pandemic, the usual broad-brush summary of the gains and shortfalls in the final account figures from the beginning of the year Budget figures is not really appropriate: as very little has been as expected. Instead, the table below illustrates the level of impact that Lockdowns has had on our Financial situation by showing the Budgeted and out-turn figures for the larger items that have affected our Budgeted income and expenditure through the year.
During the year the off Budget capital expenditure was fully funded by grants or donations as described elsewhere.
| Actual | Budget | |
|---|---|---|
| Pledged Giving | £48,656 | £50,000 |
| Income tax recoverable | £11,544 | £10,350 |
| Donations | £502 | £1,500 |
| Collections (open plate) services | £1266 | £2,300 |
| Giving by Church gift boxes | £270 | £1,200 |
| Legacies | £8,800 | £1000 |
| Job Retention Scheme | £4,763 | £0 |
| Events | £1,619 | £4,750 |
| Halls rent and key Deposits | £8,660 | £21,500 |
| Fees weddings and funerals | £2,304 | £4,000 |
| Ministry: diocesan quota | £52,475 | £55,694 |
| Ministry: clergy expenses | £908 | £3,250 |
| Office and Copying | £2,628 | £4,100 |
The 2020 Budget forecast a deficit of £6200 with the possibility of ex gratia support from the Salisbury Fund if needed. In the event, as a result of the generosity of many individuals including Norman Quail (by legacy), the Diocese, the Government and the capital gain of our CCLA Fund, we have ended the year showing a small surplus and so not needing that ex. gratia support.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 12 to 23
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you 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 examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act;
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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 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 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charity Act: or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Note 4 to Staff Costs
During 2020 we had three direct employees for the first nine months and two for the last 3 months. Other cleaning and organ-playing services were bought from selfemployed people.
Mrs Norma Howie continues to be employed as Team Administrator. Mr T McDougall continues to be employed as the cleaner at St Mary’s Hall and Mr G King continued as a cleaner at St Paul’s until he retired at the end of September.
The Parish continues to pay the Living Wage as its minimum hourly rate.
Mr A Darby, Mr L Kemp, Mrs E Lambert and Mr M Taylor received fees from either the Team Benefice Fees account in connection with services and or weddings and funerals or from the Parish account in connection with Hall lettings.
Mr Darby was elected to the PCC in April 2017. Mr Kemp was elected to the PCC in October 2020 Mrs Lambert was re-elected as Churchwarden in October 2020. Mr Taylor was re-elected to the PCC in October 2020.
St Mary’s had a self-employed Organist until the end June. Since July organists at both churches have been paid on a ‘pay for play’ basis.
No other Officer or PCC member received any money except by way of reimbursement of monies expended on the Church’s behalf and against receipts.
As required by legislation, the PCC continues to be registered with NEST as their pension provider in the event of any employee wishing to take up the required offer to start a pension fund. Both of our employees are in the categories where starting a pension fund is optional rather than compulsory and, after consultation, both have decided against taking out a pension.
