## **The Parochial Church Council of Brereton & Rugeley Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2020** _**Charity registration number: 1130795**_
## **Objectives and Activities**
The Parochial Church Council of Brereton & Rugeley (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend D Evans, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of the church.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Brereton & Rugeley. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through non sacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach non churched members of the community.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of The Parish of Brereton and Rugeley it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:
- Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and
- Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.
- Providing opportunities for members of the wider community to contribute to the greater good through volunteering and participating in building communities of hope.
- The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. The PCC supports a Ministry Team and our Lay worship leaders, who meet regularly to consider the way forward for our services, worship

patterns, bible studies and spiritual growth. Our churches are open for individual prayer, providing an intimate and reflective environment for worship and prayer

**----- End of picture text -----**
The country went into the first lockdown on March 23[rd] 2020. Very quickly as a benefice we began pre-recording services and editing footage into online services which were streamed on the St Augustine’s Facebook page and on YouTube page. Numbers of views were very high with Facebook metrics recording hundreds of ‘views’. Facebook’s definition of a ‘view’ means that the numbers were probably over-estimates. On the other hand, these were views on individual devices, that could have been watched by groups of individuals. We certainly were attracting participants from all over the country. By the second lockdown the numbers were still high but lower than
2
in the first lockdown. This reduction was attributed to more churches going online. We created a link so that the pre-recorded services could also be accessed direct from our benefice website homepage.
Set out below are some high points of 2020, challenges encountered and **key learning points** from some of our different congregations. The points below were offered by members of some of the congregations.
## **High points in 2020**
People’s Kindness and willingness to help others. The Services on YouTube and the zoom twice weekly prayers.
Being able to deliver services in a different way via YouTube and Facebook. Also continued contact through regular phone calls as a group. We were also able to take out prayer booklet that were kindly made and Flowers for Mothering Sunday.
The creative use of the garden outside the church building throughout the year for example at Easter, Pentecost, VE Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas nativity. The church building has been consistently open for private prayer which has resulted in the addition of 2 new regular members of the congregation.
## **Challenges encountered in 2020**
Coping with not seeing friends and family. Not being able to hug those you care about.
The challenges were keeping people's spirits up and letting them know they were not alone. Pointing them in the direction of help groups and radio and TV services for those who were not online.
Providing a Covid-safe church for worship and community activities. Having enough people to lead services – benefitting from new lay worship leaders working across the parish. Keeping in touch with members of the congregation during lockdowns.
## **Learning about mission in 2020**
How important it is to have a church that you can go to to worship with your church family and to see your friends. Human contact, God’s love that surrounds us giving the strength to live and cope with the pandemic. Maintain contact with people in the community that were shielding.
3
We have learnt that we are a strong parish that we can work together in difficult circumstances. The online services reached out farther than our own congregations. We learnt that we have a fantastic team taking care of us all spiritually.
Interaction with members of our community have been developed through the visual displays created outside church based on national events and annual festivals etc resulting in lots of positive conversations, acts of kindness and donations. Imagination and creativity help in witnessing to our community whereas services in church fulfil a different need.
## **Church Fabric**
The lockdowns put pay to much of the fundraising activities we had planned for repair work at several of the church buildings. At St Augustine’s fundraising for repairs to the masonry continued sufficient to schedule the works for 2021. Other routine maintenance was carried out. At the Church of the Holy Spirit the lightning conductor was repaired. New lighting was installed in car park, and some internal lights were replaced in addition to routine maintenance work. Beyond routine maintenance no repairs were carried out at St Michael’s, St John’s, Slitting Mill. At the Church of the Good Shepherd roof repairs were carried out and the contractors constructing the new homes next door to COGS carried out minor repairs and renovations to the building as part of an arrangement for them to use the water supply early on in the building programme.
## **Mission and Evangelism**
2020 began with the Alpha Course which was run at The Church of the Good Shepherd from January 6[th] for several weeks. This was a course offered across the Rugeley Deanery. On 15[th] March a Confirmation service was held at the church of the Holy Spirit at which Bishop Clive presided. Four people from the parish of Brereton & Rugeley were confirmed with 2 others from the parish of Armitage. Five other people from across the Deanery were confirmed.
We were not able to operate our Places of Welcome for the bulk of the year. However,
The Changing Room Counselling service continued operating on the phone and using various online video platforms. Carla Thompson continued to lead the service and pulled off an impressive feat of training and support for the team of counsellors working remotely from their clients, very much from a ‘standing start’.
4
From September 21[st] we ran the _‘Saying Yes To Life’_ Bible study course (one of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent books for 2020) on creation and care for our planet. This was conducted on Zoom.
Online services were largely pre-recorded. Between the first and second lockdowns we tried simply live-streaming the service from St Augustine’s. This proved to be less than ideal and somewhat ‘one dimensional’. We reverted to pre-recording services which afforded much more creativity and engagement with a variety of people from the benefice through interviews and testimonies.
## **Schools Work**
Schools work in the usual sense was a casualty of the lockdown and Covid restrictions with no visits to schools possible for the bulk of the year. That having been said the Ministry Team did put pre-recorded packages together specifically with children in mind. These were shared with all our local schools, with very positive feedback, via our YouTube channel. These included Treasure Seekers sessions “Breakfast on the Beach (17[th] May), Ascension Day (21[st] May), Pentecost (31[st] May), Trinity Sunday (14[th] June), Love All, Accept All about Archbishop Desmond Tutu (28[th] June), Welcome to the New School Year (6[th] Sept), Harvest (5[th] Oct), Stable Trail (13[th] Dec), Christingle (20[th] Dec), Crib Service 24[th] Dec)
## **People**
We gratefully acknowledge the service of our Church Wardens throughout a difficult year. We are grateful to Craig Hibbert who stepped back from the role of Warden at St Michael whilst on the Reader Training course. We also thank Trevor Jeffries who stepped back from being a warden at Church of the Holy Spirit. David Smith and Howard Cottrell were appointed Church Wardens for Church of the Holy Spirit. Thanks go to Roz Jones (Derry) who stepped back from the role of Parish Secretary to be replaced by Howard Cottrell.
Several people who have been important in the life of the our congregations passed away in 2020. We note with sadness the loss of former Parish Treasurer Roger Francis who died in August 2020. We are grateful to God for Roger’s life and many other friends who faithfully served in our congregations and passed away during this most difficult of years.
The number of hours of volunteering across the congregations of the Parish is huge, and it with personal gratitude that I want to say thank you to all who serve in a large number of roles and capacities. This is especially heart felt regarding members of the PCC who are Trustees of the only legally constituted body in and of the Parish. We thank God for you all.

The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. The PCC supports a Ministry Team and our Lay worship leaders, who meet regularly to consider the way forward for our services, worship patterns, bible studies and spiritual growth. Our churches are open for individual prayer, providing an intimate and reflective environment for worship and prayer.
## **Finance Review**
The Parish faced a very difficult financial position at the end of 2019 due to the underpayment of the Parish Share, accumulation of debt to the Board of Finance, and the continued depletion of reserves.
2020 served to complicate the situation further due to the effects of the pandemic and the departure of Rev Holding.
As churches were closed for the majority of the year our income was hit hard despite the best efforts of everyone to promote regular giving by direct debit. Incoming resources fell from an already low £147,158 in 2019 to £95,064 in 2020. The Board of Finance reacted to the fall of income across the dioceses by reducing the 2020 Parish Share by 10% but, in common with the majority of parishes, we were unable to pay the reduced sum in full. The Parish is highly unlikely to be able to repay our historical nominal debt to the Diocese of £65,271 in the medium term. An additional debt of £5,500 is also due to the Diocese due to the historical underpayment of funeral fees.
As a result of this, we are discussing the new post-Covid financial landscape with the Diocese and exploring options to reduce the onerous amount of the Parish Share. One strong possibility is that Rev Holding will not be replaced as that will reduce our share dramatically. As Treasurer, I do believe that the pandemic has finally led the Diocese to conduct an examination of the overall funding position based on the realistic financial situation that the most parishes face as we collectively attempt to rebuild our offerings in a changed world.

Parish funds at 31 December 2020 totalled £83,859 compared to £124,986 at the end of 2019. Only £30,489 of these funds are unrestricted compared with £72,136 at the end of 2019.
A consolidated income and expenditure breakdown is included at Appendix 1
## **Reserves Policy**
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £33,911. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year end was a negative £22,326 which is considerably lower than this target. A creditor of £65,271 is included in calculating these figures.
## **Safeguarding**
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The parish has a Safeguarding officer and all members of the PCC are DRB checked. The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year.
## **Risk assessments**
The Church Wardens have carried out all necessary risk assessments too ensure our buildings were always Covid compliant and carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews as well as regularly inspected premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for children and vulnerable adult protection and for working with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers where needed. Our insurances for, each church, are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover.
## **Structure, governance, and management**
7
The Parish covers the towns of Brereton and Rugeley within the area serviced by the Cannock Chase District Council. It is part of the Deanery of Rugeley, in the Lichfield Diocese of The Church of England.
The correspondence address is The Rectory, 20 Church Street, Rugeley, WS15 2AB. Registered charity number 1130795. Our website address is: www.brateamministry.org
The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2nd January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, the readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are 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. New members now receive an initial training booklet into the workings of the PCC. The full PCC met on Zoom this year 2 times during the year with an average level of attendance of 85%. Over the course of the year we have instigated new policies for Social Media, Responsibilities of the PCC, Finances, Authorisation for DCC and Safeguarding.

## **l Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2020**
## **ing Policies**
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.
## **w Statement**
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000.
## **oncern**
The Parish is finding Unrestricted Reserves are still depleting quickly, although they were still £27,000 positive at 31 December 2020. The PCC are striving to fund raise to try to cover some of the exisiting and future committments, but are hampered at the moment because of the Covid pandemic. The Unrestricted Reserves include £69,271 of Parish Share Arrears, which although it remains a voluntary donation as the apportionment of costs to the Lichfield Diocesan Board of Finance, it is not a statutory liability. However, non-payment may result in Pastoral Reorganisation. The Unrestricted Reserves also include £5,500 of fees due to the Lichfield Diocesan Board of Finance. These relate to historic under-charging of the Diocesan statutory fee for funerals, in error.
## **ance Sheet Events**
The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 virus represents a significant event since the end of the financial year. The Charity has reviewed its cash flow forecasts and considered the impact on going concern, concluding that the going concern basis remains an appropriate basis of preparation for these financial statements given the likely cash flow impact of operations for 12 months from the date of signing this report. COVID-19 is considered to be a non-adjusting post year end – for accruals) event and therefore has not been taken into account in preparing these Financial Statements as at 31 December 2020.
**ing Estimates and Prior Year Errors**
19
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.
## **ion of Funds**
**Unrestricted funds** are 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' annual report.
## **Restricted funds** comprise of two elements :-
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest
b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
**Endowment funds** are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
## **ture**
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
## **nce and Support Costs**
20
Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **sets**
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.
Other tangible fixed assets (with a purchase price of £1,000 or more) are valued at cost and depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years
## **ents**
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash expected to be received.
## **s and Accruals**
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

The Parish had a share package in place with the Diocese in relation to the 2014 & 2016 arrears whereby for every £1 paid by the parish, the diocese will write off £2 - provided that the parish pay their share in full over the next 3 years. But as the parish were unable to meet the share requested in 2019, the package has now failed.
The Fees owed to Lichfield Diocese have arisen due to historical under charging of the Diocesan statutory fee for funerals.
£1,000 was paid in January 2021 against the 2020 parish share arrears.
