## **Structure, governance and management**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of our PCC consists of the incumbent (our Rector), churchwardens, and members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) or subsequently co-opted by the PCC. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. We try to ensure a balance of skills and experience wherever possible. Our four representatives on the Deanery Synod are also members of the PCC.
The Parochial Church Council is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The members of the PCC are its trustees. The PCC is the main decision maker of a parish. Its powers and duties are defined by legislation. It has the responsibility, along with the
2
incumbent to promote the mission of God in its parish. The PCC is responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met seven times during the year with an average level of attendance of 70%, and a variety of face-to-face and Zoom meetings.
## **Aims and purposes**
The primary aim of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Churches (St John the Baptist Westbourne, the Parish church, and Woodmancote Church) and the Parish Hall.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community. Our Mission Action Plan was updated during the year. Times are changing and the church must provide both continuity and evolve. Our vision is:
- To nurture and grow our faith by including and catering for all people young and old,
- from all backgrounds and with differing needs
- To ensure the church’s land and buildings meet the needs of the people of
- Westbourne now and in the future
- To meet the challenges of change with confidence and enthusiasm.
We also added a strapline to provide a short message to everyone:
## _Open to all for peace, worship and fellowship_
## **Achievements and Performance**
Our doors have been open for services each week and we marked Mothering Sunday, Easter, the Platinum Jubilee, Sea Sunday, our Patronal Festival, Harvest, All Souls for those who have died, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas with special services. Many of these events had a special input from our choir. We welcome visitors from schools, U3A groups, pilgrims on the Old Way, singers and musicians. People come to research family history. Many join us on special occasions and others step inside simply to rest, to marvel or to pray. Our bell ringers play an active part in activities, and practice weekly and ring before all major services and some weddings. Peter Wilkinson retired as Tower Captain after 45 years, and we are grateful for his leadership and encouragement. Many visitors at our Open Day were delighted to have the opportunity to see how the bells are rung.
We held a Lent Course, on the thought-provoking topic of Provision of the Bible. Attendance at Easter services was back to pre-pandemic numbers, and it was an encouragement to have Admission to Communion for six young people on Easter Day. The weekend also included an Easter Egg Trail and an Easter Egg Hunt. In May five members of the congregation were confirmed at a service in Chichester Cathedral. Following training, five members have been appointed as Lay Ministers of Holy Communion by our Bishop and two new Servers have been appointed.
The Sunday School has continued to prosper as has our Junior Choir, and we have seen a further increase in the number of children and young people worshipping. Thanks are due to Katie Elliott-Smith and all those who help her in the leadership of the Sunday School. Junior members of the choir are taking an increasing lead, with several being encouraged by Stewart
3
Taylor, our Director of Music, to sing solo parts. Thanks are due to Stewart and to Sylvia Willey for their support and encouragement for our music for us all.
A group of members took part in a five-session video course entitled Living in Love and Faith. This was an opportunity to learn together, listen to one another, and broaden our understanding of how the Church of England might move forward in relation to matters of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage.
## **Worship and Prayer**
It has been good to have our Sunday Worship back in our Churches on a regular basis this year, and we have managed to livestream our main Sunday service each week enabling those unable or unwilling to return to join us. Thus, there were two or three services at the Parish church in Westbourne each Sunday and usually two each month at Woodmancote. Our mid-week Holy Communion service continues but with a reduced attendance. However, the observation of Morning Prayer which had flourished on-line during 2020 and 2021, has continued via Zoom. Generally, people have felt more comfortable joining this stimulating start to the day in their homes, although we have explored hosting the service from the Church occasionally.
The Sunday School usually meets on the first, third and further Sundays during the 9.30am service. There is a service for everyone on the second Sunday, and an All-Age Communion when there is a fifth Sunday.
During the year we had an increased number of ceremonies for people at important stages of life, including 19 baptisms (5 in 2021), 8 weddings (3 in 2021) and 16 funerals. We were sad to lose several longstanding members of our own congregation to both old age and illness. This increase in numbers indicates our church is there for the people from the local community who turn to us to mark these important milestones of life.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 200 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 10 names having been added since the APCM, and 9 have been removed through death. The average weekly attendance, counted during October, was 95, but this number increases at special services and at Christmas carol services.
The Rector and our Reader, Martin Brown, have led our worship, supported at holiday times by local retired priests. We have enjoyed the variety that this has provided. The return of the chalice at Holy Communion did not occur until Whit Sunday, with some choosing not to partake of the wine. Attendance numbers for gathered worship across the year exceeded those of 2021 at special services, but did not rise to the pre-pandemic figure on a ‘normal‘ Sunday.
## **Deanery Synod**
Four members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church, particularly our neighbouring parishes.
## **Our Buildings**
Caring for our listed church building is always hard work. During 2022 the work on the 2018 Quinquennial Inspection was almost completed. Shingles on the spire needed replacing after storm damage. We have upgraded the boilers in the Church, and the lighting in the Parish Hall, and added thermostats that enable remote control of the temperature in our efforts to reduce our utilities bills. Much volunteer work is undertaken to keep our buildings and grounds clean and tidy.

## **Community Occasions**
We were delighted to host major community occasions once more, and open our weekly Monday Drop-In sessions in the Parish Hall. Many activities that take place hosted by others have return to the Parish Hall, and it has been good to see the diary filling up once again. A plant stall and chilli supper were held in May to raise funds for Christian Aid. We took part in the national house to house delivery of Christian Aid envelopes with donations returned to a central point and this raised £2,145. We had special collections for Ukraine, and raised money for various charities at our First Friday Lunches.
The traditional Church Fete was held once again with stalls and teas on the Rectory lawn. This occasion was both an enjoyable afternoon and an occasion to raise some funds for the Church. The antics of Punch and Judy and their friends brought lots of fun and laughter. Our church was the venue for a song recital from Alison Pearce, a professional soprano who presented a classical and romantic repertoire. The building has good acoustics for such events. Food was delivered to UK Harvest from the Harvest Thanksgiving services in the church and school, and we enjoyed a Harvest lunch together. On Remembrance Sunday this year members of our Sunday School joined those who laid wreaths at the War Memorial, and collections were taken for the Royal British Legion.
The Christmas Fair was held again with an opportunity to purchase all sorts of gifts and goodies, and the children enjoyed special activities and a chance to chat to Father Christmas. People once again gathered for Carols in the Square with the Liss Brass Band, and our collection supporting the Beacon Food Bank in Havant. Carol services were held in both churches during the Advent season, including one for our local primary school.
## **Safeguarding**
Throughout the year the Parochial Church Council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. DBS checks are undertaken for volunteers as recommended, with renewals now to be every three years rather than five.
## **Home and Overseas Mission**
The Church has continued to give 10% of its general income to charity, supporting both work in the UK and overseas. Once again we gave food vouchers to needy local families at Christmas. During the year we have supported local food banks. We held some monthly Friday lunches and had special collections for charity, notably for Ukraine. We also took part in the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child sending sent filled shoeboxes to children in Eastern Europe.
## **Financial review from the Treasurer**
Funds are held in CAF Bank current and deposit accounts, the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund and the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.
Total receipts to unrestricted funds were £ 177,316, of which £172,667 was unrestricted voluntary donations including £16,194 tax recovered from Gift Aid.
Voluntary income was significantly boosted by an anonymous donation of £38,000 and the return of plate collections, particularly at weddings and funerals.
Activities for generating funds delivered a considerable improvement, at £37,403 on 2021 as normal activities were able to return to the usual pattern. A backlog of weddings boosted the PCC fees for the year.

Westbourne Magazine continues to flourish, the increase in advertising revenue largely reflecting a change to invoicing timing.
Interest rates declined to close to zero by the start of 2021. In response to this the PCC moved a substantial proportion of its funds into the C of E Investment Fund in the February of that year. This investment has followed the general stocks and shares roller coaster during 2022, with many of the earlier gains reported in the 2021 accounts lost again in 2022. Nevertheless it is worth noting that the total sum invested at 16 February 2021 was £91,643; if left on bank deposit at <1% interest this would now be worth something like £93,320, significantly less than the share valuation of £95,357 at the end of 2022. Furthermore, current inflation rates are currently eroding the value of cash in the bank at approx. 10% pa.
£11,958 was given to other charities under the general supervision of the Home and Overseas Mission Group. Some of this came from special collections organized by our HOSMG and the remaining £6,600 was donated from PCC funds, representing approximately 10% of giving from Nov ’21 to Nov ‘22. This remains our objective and custom.
£170,544 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from our two churches, including £76,967 contribution to the Diocesan Parish share (the full amount due).
The net result for the year (not including investment gains) was a surplus of £2,123 on unrestricted funds; Investment losses resulted in a deficit for the year of £7,985. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward from the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward on unrestricted funds totaled £120,816, of which £72,177 is allocated for designated purposes.
Looking to the year ahead, we will be recovering the VAT element of the works completed at the end of 2022 arising from the Quinquennial Inspection and applying to the Church Commissioners to meet the cost of the part of this work that involves repairs to the chancel. It is expected that the value of our investment in the C of E Investment fund will follow the long term historical upward trend demonstrated over many years although there are no promises on this, of course, as is the nature of investments.
PCC policy is to maintain the equivalent of 10 weeks of typical expenditure in unrestricted funds. In view of the current uncertain situation approximately double this figure is held as a contingency provision. Other provisions are in the statement of Designated Funds as set out in the accounts.
The shift away from cash continues and our contactless machine has been particularly helpful in processing donations for the lowest transaction charge currently available. Banks are increasingly reluctant to deal with cash or cheques and we encourage donations by direct bank transfer or contactless donation wherever possible.
My thanks are due to Anne de Poitier for her efficient management of the important magazine advertising revenue, to our Independent Examiner and especially to Marjorie Kipling and her helpers for their management of the cash receipts and for her steadfast support with all financial matters throughout the year.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2022**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions and under FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP[FRS102]).
## **ASSETS**
## **Consecrated and benefice property**
In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
## **Moveable church furnishings**
These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the church’s inventory in any case.
## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity**
These are capitalised if this benefits the clarity and/or usefulness of the accounts.
No depreciation is provided on the Parish Hall as the currently estimated residual value of the property is not less than its carrying value and the remaining life of this asset currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out each year and any resultant loss identified is included in expenditure for the year.
## **Investments**
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at the PCC’s best estimate of market value.
## **Short term deposits**
These are cash held on deposit either with CCLA or at CAF bank.

These represent the remaining 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’ report.

Equipment comprises a lawn mower purchased in 2019 for the maintenance of the churchyard and a cleaning machine purchased in 2020 for the Parish Hall floor. Both items were fully depreciated during 2022.
Westbourne Parish Hall is included in the accounts at a nominal value of £1. The property is vested in the Diocese of Chichester as Custodian Trustee to the PCC which is the Management Trustee. The PCC has full use of the property and does not envisage the sale of it. The nominal value of the Hall is not accounted for as it is immaterial.

The restricted funds comprise:
Bunch memorial funds Maintenance for the church and parish hall audio systems. The church element of the fund has been fully expended on the audio equipment incorporated in the live streaming system as this also improves the audio experience in the church and the hearing aid induction loop.
Dale memorial fund For musical development within the church.
Organ fund
Balance of funds raised for the installation of the organ and additional restricted donations for future major repairs. In 2021 this was invested in accumulation shares in the Church of England Investment Fund. A small proportion of this fund may be held in bank deposits pending acquisition of additional shares.
Youth fund
For youth development work. Funded by sale of the Old National School shares.

## **The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of Saint John the Baptist, Westbourne in the Diocese Of Chichester (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022**
Report to the trustees/ members of The Parochial Church Council Of The Ecclesiastical Parish Of Saint John the Baptist, Westbourne in the Diocese Of Chichester on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 independent examination is needed.
- It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
