ST MICHAEL’S WITHOUT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

St Michael’s Without Annual Report For 2022

Aims and purposes

St. Michael’s Without Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Rev. Roger Driver, to promote within the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of the parish church building on Broad Street.

Objectives and activities

The PCC and congregation are committed to open wide our church doors and fully engage with the community of Bath and visitors to the city. The PCC maintains an overview of all the church’s activities and the use of the building to ensure that these are compatible and promote our desire to demonstrate the Way of Jesus. The site of the current church has been a Christian presence for almost 900 years. It is a significant place both for visitors to the City, and also as a meeting and gathering place for local people - a place of community. Different buildings have come and gone but the constant has been the people who are the Church.

In following Jesus, who is the Way, the PCC are committed to prayer and this is at the centre of what we do. In responding to His call on our lives we in turn are part of the ongoing work to encourage others to follow too. We seek to share the love of God through welcome and hospitality and a church building that is open daily, reaching out in practical ways to make a difference in people’s lives and for the good of the city. We are not a perfect community, we don’t always get things right and experience our share of struggles in life, but in all that, we still seek to follow Jesus faithfully because we know no better way. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary

guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Specifically, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

Achievements and performance

Parish and Church

This year saw the installation of our new Diocesan Bishop, Michael Beasley. With a full senior leadership team Bishop Michael has prioritised refreshing the Diocesan strategy and facing up to the severe financial challenges facing the Diocese. In the use of resources that we do have the encouragement we have continued to be given is:

To place mission and evangelism at the heart of everything that we do

This priority continues to remind us that everything we do needs to be set within the context of sharing God’s love with the world (living the story) and proclaiming the gospel (telling the story).

For us this means continuing to plan and shape our life together to serve and embrace our parish community better. We have planned and undertaken activities and initiatives with an explicitly missional purpose and engage more proactively with our communities at a personal, parish, deanery and diocesan level.

To realign our ministry resources towards mission

As we look at what we have we have continued to plan to shift the balance of the resources we deploy in time, people and buildings towards mission and provide more

ST MICHAEL’S WITHOUT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

resources for explicitly missional roles, which in this past year has seen the employment to of a Worship Pastor and Children’s and Families Pastor. We have sort to invest in our parish community and in initiatives in order to follow God’s missionary purposes; and that we will seek numerical and spiritual growth as we trust in the leading and guiding of God’s Holy Spirit.

To identify, develop and release the gifts of all our people

Over two years on from the pandemic we have continued to experiment and seek out new ways of being church to make best use of the gifts and talents that God has given to his people. Through that we have seen growth in the congregation and the expansion in the ways we serve our community and witness to the love of God in Jesus Christ.

The Diocesan Vision is encapsulated in these words;

‘In response to God’s immense love for us we seek to be God’s people living and telling the story of Jesus.’

At the heart of our mission is our desire to ‘Follow the Way of Jesus in the city’ . This has involved prioritising our time, energy, and resources moving through the post-pandemic recovery phase of the past 12 months.

Highlights:

Our ministry highlights include our growing in confidence in worship and the growth of the team that leads us following the appointment of a new Worship Pastor, the focus on children's and family ministry, where we have increased our efforts to serve and teach the children of our church family. Creating a welcoming environment has been a central task, moving from the restrictions of the pandemic to building confidence to meet and engage in larger numbers. The Café has grown from strength to strength and every day the church space has become a regular place to meet for many locals, and from the social media comments an important find for tourists!

Worship:

Worship continues to be a central part of our church. We believe that this is where we encounter God and grow in our relationship with Him. We prioritise creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere where all feel included. Under Jacob Smith’s new leadership, we have been blessed.

Evangelism:

Our evangelism efforts have been focused on building meaningful relationships with those in our community. Through intentional conversations

ST MICHAEL’S WITHOUT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

and events, we continue to see lives transformed and listen to testimonies of people whose lives have been touched with encounters with Jesus.

Children & Families:

Our children's ministry has been revamped this past year, and we have made significant efforts to provide an enriching and faith-filled space for our children. We are committed to seeing the next generation know and love Jesus.

Common Purpose:

Our church's common purpose is to serve our community, and we have been focused on creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all. This year, we have continued to partner with local organisations to serve and bless our community intentionally.

Social Justice and the Environment:

We believe that social justice is a crucial aspect of our faith, and as such, we have prioritised efforts towards serving those in need. This year we have provided food and support to the homeless and have actively advocated for change in our city.

We recognise that caring for the earth is part of our responsibility as Christians, we are committed to being responsible stewards of the environment. This year, we have continued to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in our church and community.

Support for Mission:

The development of the Christmas Shop has been important for a few reasons, the significant one was facilitating and supporting the raising of funds for other Christian organisations and charities in the work that they do. It has also provided us with a stream of fund raising for the ministry of the Church.

Church Finances

St Michael’s Without continues to be an unusual church based charitable organisation. In part it is a city centre parish church which is subject to the same pressures upon offertory and the demands of historic building maintenance as many other parishes countrywide. Additionally, St Michael’s operates a missional enterprise to open the church as a resource for those of faith and those of none, to welcome, refresh, entertain or provide respite. Balancing this is a challenge operationally and financially. Furthermore, there is evidence that church engagement in general, has changed significantly post pandemic. Because of our unusual circumstances, we have and

6

ST MICHAEL’S WITHOUT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

continue to refine a financial structure that seeks to discriminate between core costs associated with our role as a parish church and those due to our wider weekday mission.

Overall, the church accounts show that following a deficit in 2021 we achieved a modest surplus in 2022 of £2,273. Within this we are pleased to report that we paid Parish Share in full.

Further analysis shows that our Church Café performed well throughout the year and overall contributed in excess of £10,000 to our funds. The café is pivotal to our mission aim to open the church daily. Similarly, after some barren years, income from events has begun to recover with more concerts, exhibitions and recitals taking place.

However, we also acknowledge a concern that planned giving and other offertory from the church congregation fell during 2022. Consequently, at the start of 2023, we have appealed to all who regularly attend our services to consider the support they can offer. It is our intention to reverse a recent trend of a reduction in offertory and regular giving and build again to a value that exceeds all our core expenditure. While this will not be easy; our expenditure particularly on energy has risen significantly while many of our regular givers have incomes that have not risen in the same way as the costof-living crisis has played out. Nevertheless, it is a fundamental tenet of our operation. We want to be a thriving church that has subsidiary trading activity not a hospitality venue that supports church services at the weekend.

Overarching all our activity is our dependence on God’s grace and provision. We temper our ambition and plans with a reliance on God to know and do the right thing when He prompts us. It remains a challenge, but we have a memory of other times when we have been similarly challenged, when faith in what we believe has been blessed. We trust that while we continue to seek and heed God’s direction, He will continue to make His face to shine upon us.

Church Reserves Policy

The PCC determined many years ago that a Reserve should be held as a financial buffer against circumstances where the church and its trading activities were unable to operate normally for an extended period of time. This was set at a notional amount of £30,000 but was reduced due to financial pressure in 2018/19 to £20,000. Interest credit has increased the reserve to the current level of £20,211. In an ideal world it would be good to anticipate a time when a significant end of year surplus could be used to increase our reserve.

7

ST MICHAEL’S WITHOUT

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

However currently we are trusting that a combination of God’s provision and careful management will allow us to continue to operate the church successfully.

Staff and Volunteers

The Staff team is led by the Rector, and a core group that meets most weeks is the Ministry Team who are made up of the licensed and Permission to Officiate Clergy, Readers, Worship Pastor, Children’s & Family Pastor and Administrator.

We are grateful for the numerous volunteers who help serve in many ways in our activities and in the maintenance of the building, particularly Ken Slade and Dave Snook who oversee health and safety in the buildings along with minor repairs, the members of the PCC and the Ministry Team.

In the Office the core team are Lisa Ware who works as Administration and Events Coordinator, Paul Trembling who is our Part-time Assistant Bookkeeper and off-site Lesley Davies our main Bookkeeper. We employ a variety of full time and casual staff in the café and as events teams. Andrew Chrystal, as Hospitality Manager has oversight of café operations and events staffing.

Structure, governance & management

The PCC convened 7 times during 2022. The APCM was held on Thursday 26[th] May, 2022 when one third of the elected members retired and replacements were elected for a three-year period.

The Standing Committee , executed the business of the PCC between meetings of the Council. In 2022 the members were Roger Driver (Rector), Charles Curnock (until April), Rachel Snook (Church Wardens), Jane Pleace (from April), Rachel Walker (PCC Secretary) Andrew Tapsfield (Treasurer) and Marian Marlow (Reader). The Standing Committee met informally in church after services and on Zoom, email and reporting to the PCC at the next following meeting.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MICHAEL'S WITHOUT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102.

The trustees consider that even though COVID-19 represents a material uncertainty the charity is able to continue as a going concern and therefore the financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.

Income

Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows: I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods;

II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Investment income is included on a receivable basis.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

Adminstration costs have been allocated between other trading activities and charitable activities. The apportionment has been allocated on the basis of usage and is analysed in note 20.

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost with purchases of £100 or greater being capitalised. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of fixed assets over the useful life as follows:

Café Equipment 33% reducing balance Office Equipment 25% straight line Audio Visual Equipment 25% straight line

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.

Stock

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
