**The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** Registered Charity No: 1130644 # **The Parish of St Магу and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead** ## **Annual Report and Accounts** # **for the year ended 31 December 2021** Contents The Annual Report Structure, Governance and Management Independent Examiner's Report Income and Expenditure Account Balance Sheet Notes to the Accounts 1 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **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 Revd Luke Geoghegan) and retired clergy (The Revd Diana Spink and The Revd Canon Richard Leslie). ## **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 and reflected in the catholic creeds. 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 1. To improve our media presence by a creating a completely new website which shows us as a spiritually active, welcoming and lively parish. 2. To improve our links with and support for the wider community around both churches. 3. To make our services accessible and welcoming for the congregations, especially people new to the church. 4. To develop more pilgrimage opportunities for members of the parish. The Coronavirus pandemic has meant that these goals have not been updated since, however the PCC met at the end of 2021 to agree new goals for 2022 and beyond. ## **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. 2 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** The church tries 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 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 has sadly been suspended since the start of the pandemic and this is a great sadness to those who value it. 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. The parish seeks to support local charities that help in defined ways like the Foodbank, Street Pastors, Citizens Advice, Liberty Tea Rooms, Christians Against Poverty, chaplaincy to the waterways, the local Hospices and Dacorum Community Trust. 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 have in the past raised 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 3 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** 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 caused by the pandemic. The PCC is grateful to the Friends of St Mary’s and all who make repair and maintenance possible. ## **Reaching out and coming in** 2021 began once more with a time of increased social distancing and limitations to our worship and outreach. The continuation of our zoom ministry each Sunday and for other special events has been well received and continues to be a lifeline to the house-bound and those who are selfisolating. The first full year of church opening at St Mary’s has cemented this important part of our outreach with increasing numbers visiting, praying, lighting a candle and contributing financially to the church. The PCC is very grateful to all those who have made this possible especially by opening and closing the building. Our engagement with the Old Town market has increased with the use of St Mary’s Hall now an important part of their offering and with the church hosting not-for-profit stalls and the occasional pop-up café. The subsequent increase in revenue is expected to continue during 2022. St Paul’s have continued to maximise the use of their hall and parish room and have bounced back from the pandemic lockdown much faster than many other venues including St Mary’s Hall. This is a testament to all those whose hard work has encouraged this to happen. ## **Financial Review** The year 2021 was again dominated by the uncertainty and caution engendered by Covid 19 and so only parts of the church life had any 'normality'. Pledged Giving remained resilient and the generosity of all our Stewardship members is really appreciated. Many of the weddings postponed in 2020 happened during 2021 increasing our fee income well above the budgeted figure and with St Mary's open every day the Church box and Card payment income was greatly improved. (£2.3k compared to £1.3k in 2019) 4 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** As the result of the enthusiasm and hard work of Brian Doran, a very successful 'Art in the Nave' event took place over the August Bank holiday and this raised welcome funds for the three chosen charities DENS, the Hospice and LTPT as well as £3.1k for Parish funds. Additional funds were raised by a ‘Come Dine with Us’ programme hosted by Rosina and Gordon Gaddes The combined income from Hall lettings was again adversely impacted, but this was offset to a degree by income from use by a Film Company the High Street Market and from two Local Authority Covid related grants, making the overall shortfall around £4k (c.f £13k in 2020). Our usual hirers are starting to return and the outlook for 2022 is looking more positive. Almost every aspect of church life has been impacted from Utility usage to photocopying and Services' Consumables, but this year the overall affect on the finances, has somewhat surprisingly been positive with the end of the year showing a surplus on the daily running account of around £5.5k. This surplus has been further increased by the capital gain of £3.5k in the value of our Funds held in our CCLA investment. So, at the year-end our total surplus was £9k This positive outcome was helped by the Parish being able to use the Job Retention Scheme to subsidise part of the salary cost of both of its Employees for much of the year. The Parish continued with the PCC policy of continuing to pay full wages 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 another abnormal year so the same reporting pattern as last year has been followed. Covid has once again drastically reduced attendances at services over the Harvest and Christmas periods. As we normally use the collections over these periods as our main external charitable giving, this giving has been greatly reduced. St Mary’s has continued to open between 10am and 5 pm every day and by the number of candles lit and prayer notes posted, as well as the comments in the Visitors Book, this has been appreciated in the community. In addition to the usual ongoing maintenance, St Mary's has had work done on the Chancel roof, cleaning down and spraying of the spire timbers and installing a suspended walkway across the Chancel roof beams to allow better access for inspection. At St Paul’s, re-roofing of the low-level flat roofs has been completed and the worst areas of cladding replaced to improve weatherproofing. Further tidying up is planned. Some essential electrical work has also been done. 5 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** The building work has been funded as usual by income from Trusts, Grants from Local Council Discretionary Funds, the Friends of St Mary’s, the Salisbury Fund, the Listed Places of Worship Fund, the Church Commissioners and a number of smaller but equally appreciated donations. As usual retention payments have come due for work completed 12months earlier adding to the moneys expended during the year. 6 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **Reserves Policy** At their September 2020 meeting the PCC decided to continue with the existing policy of £15k reserves, with a reliance on the Salisbury Fund, if this was not sufficient. 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. Given the surplus this year and the fact that the Salisbury Fund has now been earmarked for projects, the PCC has decided to use part of the surplus this year to return our Reserves Policy to that operated before the stresses of the last few years i.e. holding 3 months’ of annual expenditure in case of the unforeseen happenings. In addition, they also decided to spread the funding of the Quinquennial costs, due in 2022, by making provision for one fifth of the cost every year, and using the 2021 surplus to set up the Quinquennial fund with two years contributions. Thus, reserves are now set at £25.5k and £1.6k has been reserved for the Quinquennial costs. The PCC will look to give away the surplus over our reserves, £3.2k, later in 2022. once we better understand our own circumstances. This will be reviewed at each future PCC. ## **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; Gordon and Rosina Gaddes at St Paul’s and Emmeline Lambert and Rosamund Russell at St Mary’s, along with their deputies; Malcolm Taylor, Norma Podmore and Andrew Darby, whose hard work and commitment throughout the year is much appreciated. The financial value of such work is incalculable and without it our church could not operate. 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 on the Hemel Hempstead Deanery Synod by Rosina Gaddes (Deanery Lay Co-Chair), Gordon Gaddes and Lindsay Kemp. We thank them all for maintaining this important link. 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 work during the last year. It is only with their highly relevant, uncomplaining and systematic work, that necessary but challenging tasks are completed. 7 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **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 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 Church 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. 8 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **Structure, Governance and Management** Reference and administration details of the Church, its trustees and advisers for the Year ended 31st December 2021 ## **Team Rector** The Revd Canon John Williams The Rectory High Street Hemel Hempstead HP1 3AE ## **Address for Correspondence** The Parish office High Street Hemel Hempstead Herts НР1 ЗАЕ ## **Bankers** Lloyds Marlowes Hemel Hempstead Herts HP1 1BH ## **Accountants** Melwoods - Chartered Certified Accountants 3rd Floor The Imex Building 575-599 Maxted Road Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire HP2 7DX 9 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity that was exempted (until January 2009) from the requirements to register with the Charity Commission.

Instead, the table below illustrates the level of impact that Covid 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. **----- Start of picture text -----**

The 2021 Budget forecast a deficit of around £400 with the possibility of this being more than covered by capital gains in our CCLA Investment Fund - (£11k was moved from our deposit account and invested in our CCLA Church of England Investment Fund generating increased interest as well as the opportunity for additional capital gain.) In the event, as a result of the generosity of many individuals, the Local Authority, the Government and the capital gain of our CCLA Fund, we have ended the year showing a surplus of £9.1k. 12 of 25 **The Parish of St Mary and St Paul, Hemel Hempstead Annual Report and Accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **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 3 1 December 2021 which are set out on pages 13 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: 1. the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charity Act: or 2. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 3. 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.

Other cleaning and organplaying services were bought from self-employed 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. The Parish continues to pay the Living Wage as its minimum hourly rate. Mr A Darby, Mr B Doran, Mr L Kemp, Mrs S Kemp, Mr M Russell 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 Doran is married to Mrs Y Doran who was elected to the PCC in October 2020. Mr Kemp was elected to the PCC in October 2020, Mrs S Kemp is his wife. Mr M Russell is the son of Mrs R Russell who was elected as Churchwarden in April 2021. Mr Taylor was re-elected to the PCC in October 2020. 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. |a pension.|| |---|---| |**Not**
