TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The members of the PCC present their annual report together with the unaudited financial statements of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Selby St Mary (the PCC) for the ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

The PCC also trades under the names The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Selby St Mary.

Policies, objectives and achievements

a. Background

Selby Abbey has the responsibility, with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, social and spiritual. Their responsibilities include the buildings at Selby Abbey, St Richard’s Church Centre on Barwic Parade and the Hawdon Institute.

When planning their activities for the year, the members of the PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)' and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The public activities of the PCC are:

b. Church attendance

There are 155 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll.

Attendance figures are as below: Average attendance on a ‘typical’ Sunday morning : 61 adults and 5 children (excluding Baptisms and Special Services and counting people only once) Average attendance on Mondays : 8 adults Average attendance on Thursdays : 11 adults There were 7 weddings; 10 baptisms; 23 funerals in Church and 7 funerals at the crematorium/graveside.

Policies, objectives and achievements (continued)

c. Review of the year

After a very full year in 2019, during which we celebrated our 950th anniversary, 2020 unexpectedly proved to be one in which many of our usual events, activities and even services were curtailed due to the global COVID19 pandemic. We were already adopting strict social distancing and hygiene practices and wondering how they were going to affect our services and activities when the message came from the Archbishops on the 17 March that all public worship would cease for the foreseeable future. The shock of this was only a foretaste of what was to come and not long after we were told to close all churches even for private prayer and clergy themselves were told to work from home, except for funeral services (only at the graveside or the crematorium).

As the UK Government (and the Church of England) began to ease this initial period of ‘lockdown’, the vicar returned to the Abbey to say Morning Prayer on Ascension Day; the Abbey re-opened for funerals and private prayer as soon as was allowed on 15 June; for weddings, baptisms, services and visits as soon as these were allowed on 5 July; and for other activities as and when permitted as soon as these things became possible – albeit with strict restrictions imposed in each case. As the autumn progressed further restrictions returned and during November no services were permitted although we were able to stay open for prayer each day. Public worship resumed in the Abbey in December and Christmas was celebrated, albeit by much smaller (and quieter, as no congregational singing was allowed) numbers than usual.

The PCC only met formally on five occasions during the year due to the COVID19 restrictions, with an average attendance of fourteen. As well as the recurring topics, such as the Fabric, Finance, Children and Youth Activities, Deanery Synod/Churches Together in Selby, Reports from Sub Committees and Safeguarding, discussions and reports took place in relation to other activities as detailed in this report.

The Selby Abbey Trust continued to support the Abbey in respect of the Fabric and early in 2020 it was reported that the target for Phase I was £950,000 of which £860,000 was in hand or pledged and that a start on these works was intended later in the year. At the September meeting the PCC were advised that Jeremy Gaskell had retired as Appeals Director after more than twenty years.

One of the activities that had been severely affected by COVID19 was the Youth Group and After 8 Activity. At the September meeting members were advised that they were hoping to restart in late September/early October 2020 and that risk assessments and proposals of timings/venues etc were being considered.

The Abbey’s Annual General Meeting which should have been held in April 2020 had to be postponed and was subsequently held on the 25 October 2020.

Church Council members record their appreciation and thanks to the members of the Abbey Choir and the Tower Bell Ringing Team as well as to the Clergy, Administrator, Director of Music, Churchwardens, Vergers and to Roger Riley, the Treasurer, and to the many volunteers for all their hard work during the year in caring for the Abbey, its congregation and visitors, with special thanks to those new volunteers who came forward to ‘man’ the south door during the lockdown restrictions. The Abbey’s Director of Music, Dr Roger Tebbet, had resigned with effect from the 28 February 2020 and a presentation was made to him and Lynne on his last Sunday. An advertisement for his replacement had been put in hand in January 2020 with interviews planned for the beginning of March. Unfortunately, due to COVID19, these had to be delayed. The Revd. Jake Belder left the Abbey in August 2020 to take up a position in Pocklington, where he was to start on the 22 September 2020.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Policies, objectives and achievements (continued)

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

Total incoming resources for the year ending 31 December 2020 were £299,213 (2019 £304,968) and total resources expended were £265,569 (2019 £282,438).

After gains of £9,364 (2019 £30,030) the net movement in funds, in the year to 31 December 2020 was a surplus of £43,008 (2019 £52,560). Total funds carried forward were £548,609 of which £172,973 are unrestricted, £103,833 are restricted and £271,803 are endowment funds.

The largest single source of income in the year to 31 December 2020 was £36,700 (2019 £32,456) from Selby Abbey Trust. Other elements of voluntary income this year were Heritage Emergency Fund grant of £32,300, Culture Recovery Fund grant of £34,920 and £50,310 from regular donors, offering envelopes, collections and offertory boxes (2019 £88,205). Various activities for generating funds, including the gift shop, visitor refreshments, fayres, concerts and bric–a-brac, generated income of £20,905 (2019 £61,613).

The resources expended in 2020 were largely routine with £50,004 (2019 £45,000) being the largest single item, this being our Freewill Offering towards the Diocese running costs.

b. Investment policy

Except for endowment funds that are held in a range of investments, including equities, fixed interest securities, unit trusts and similar investments, it is the PCC’s continued policy to invest its financial reserves with the CBF Church of England Funds.

Financial review

a. Going concern

As part of their assessment of the going concern basis of preparation, the trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the charity's activities, as well as the wider economy.

Given the level of assets and reserves, the members of the PCC have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

It is the policy of the PCC to hold free reserves equating to approximately 3 months of operational expenditure which is around £65,000. Free reserves at 31 December 2020 were £94,798 (2019 £122,082), which is above this level. The PCC consider it appropriate to hold reserves in excess of the target level due to the uncertainty of the PCC's income streams.

Financial review (continued)

c. Risk management

The members of the PCC have assessed the major risks to which the PCC is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the PCC, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

a. Registration and governing document

The registration of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Selby St Mary, registration number 1130739, in accordance with the Charities Act took place on 27 July 2009.

The PCC is governed according to the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended and the Church Representation Rules.

b. Membership

Trustees and members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parish Church meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

c. Sub-committee

The routine day to day management of the parish affairs were delegated to a Standing Committee of the PCC which met between full meetings of the PCC and comprised the Clergy, Churchwardens, one nominated representative of the ordinary PCC members, Treasurer and Secretary. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC subject to any direction given by the PCC.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The members of the PCC are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the members of the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the PCC and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Selby Abbey Parochial Church Council ('the PCC')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the PCC's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the PCC's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their acounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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 no concerns and 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. General information

Selby Abbey PCC is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and activities are set out on page 3 of these financial statements and include the promotion of the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, social and spiritual.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The 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 the Account 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 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 financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently aplied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.2 Going concern

As part of their assessment of the going concern basis of preparation, the trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the PCC's activities and workforce, as well as the wider economy and on the forecasted income for the year to 31 December 2021. They have also informally considered the period up to 12 months from the signing of the accounts. Whilst it is not considered practical to accurately assess the duration and extent of the disruption, the trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses that may arise. The possible material impacts on the charity include a drop in visitor donations, with the Abbey having to close to the public for a significant period. The PCC has been awarded grants from the Lottery Heritage Emergency Fund, Culture Recovery Fund and JRS. The grants will help make the Abbey COVID safe as well as covering some of the running costs. The PCC also has sufficient reserves to cover the current level of expenditure for several months ahead.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Page 11

SELBY ABBEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the PCC is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the PCC has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the PCC, or the PCC is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the PCC's objectives.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the PCC; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Page 12

SELBY ABBEY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.

No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. These items are listed in the Church inventory, which is kept by the Churchwardens of each parish church. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the statement of financial activities.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property has not been depreciated as it is deemed that both the annual charge and the accumulated depreciation are immaterial to the financial statements, due to the asset having a long remaining residual life, and a high currently estimated residual value.

Freehold land has not been depreciated.

2.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.

2.8 Stocks

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

2.9 Debtors

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the PCC anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

2.12 Financial instruments

The PCC only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

2.13 Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The PCC operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the PCC to the fund in respect of the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the PCC and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the PCC for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the PCC's discretion; the income dervied from the endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted income funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The PCC makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

The main assumption concerning the future of the PCC is that the donations and grants will continue to be sufficent to meet the costs of salaries and maintenance of the Abbey. The annual budget, approved by the PCC, includes sums necessary for covering these costs.
