## **Review of the Year**
The full Parochial Church Council met 5 times during the year. As the Parish continued to manage the recovery form the impact of lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID no Committees other than the Standing Committee met between meetings and minutes of their meetings were received by the full Parochial Church Council and discussed where necessary.
The aims and objectives of the Council are summarised in the Parish Vision. These are reviewed annually and form the basis of setting priorities for the coming year and measuring performance for the past year. The objectives arise from our understanding of the Trinity and seek to reflect that understanding on how we seek to serve God and His world, through our individual and corporate lives. The Vision seeks to ensure we use our resources to fulfil these objectives and include within them both our financial, material and spiritual resources. The Vision is summarised as: ‘Being with God; Being with others; Being with the rest of creation’. This will continue to be developed and reflected in the life of the Parish and the Governance structures. The Parish Vision is also in line with the Diocesan Vision growing our of ‘Live, Pray, Serve’.
2022 continued to see an impact of COVID on us as a nation and community. The full consequences and long term effects have still to be fully understood, but from the Church’s perspective there was a loss of a generation of young people (particularly from the choir) and an increasing sense of weariness and mental health issues affecting all ages. Through this period we continued to work with everyone whose lives are touched through contact with our Churches and the pastoral offices. The adaptations and changes that had to be same through COVID have been reflected on and influenced some changes that have been made to our liturgy and practices. One notable development has been the use of IT and streaming of our services – we now have a social media following of over 3000 and our Sunday services are shared in by over 50 people regularly. We maintained our close co-operation with the five schools within the Parish, We supported the work of HIVE Portsmouth and Fratton Big Local in providing volunteers and support to those around us. The Church continued to play a lead role in community partnerships seeking to improve the quality of life in the area and the work of the local Community Centres and other agencies. In Fratton the Church continues to be closely involved with the process of identifying how to spend the Big Local lottery grant of £1million over 10 years (now in its 9th year). The Incumbent is the Chair of the Fratton Big Local Partnership. The Fratton Federation, under the leadership of the Incumbent, also continues to be significant for that community. We also maintain strong links with our neighbouring parishes in the Central Cluster. There is a need to review and revitalise these links between us. The Bishop’s Mission Order (Harbour Church) has now become a Team ministry and relationships with that community continue to develop.

## **Review of the Year (Continued)**
During the year the Parochial Church Council continued its review of the resources, it has considered how best to use these in furthering the work and witness of the Church in the communities that it serves. The Parish vision and this review reflect the Deanery Plan and Diocesan developments. In association with this the DCC & PCC refer to the ‘Parish Vision, which establishes the direction in which these resources could be used. This review is continuing to consider the development and use of the buildings The formal process for tendering for the redevelopment of St Wilfrid’s building has been taking place and it is hope this will reach a conclusion in 2023. There is a possibility that this will be by releasing the building to another Christian community. It was agreed (and supported by the Bishop and Diocese) that we should case to use St Wilfrid’s as a place of worship from the end of November 2022. The pastoral care and leadership of the church community through what was a challenging period was an important aspect of the ministry of Revd Sam Cullen supported by Revd Kate Marlow and the wider Ministry Team. St Mary’s continues to work with the Architect on the upkeep of the building. 2022 saw the completion of the work of the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Organ restoration. There have been a number of associated works carried out on the building as part of the project. There has been a phase of the project focusing on community engagement which will culminate in a Heritage week on July 2023.. It was good in 2022 to see the return of the Community May Fayre – which was welcomed back with enthusiasm by all who attended.
There continues to be work developing ecumenical and interfaith partnerships. This work involves the Incumbent as Area Dean facilitating a gathering of all ‘sector ministries’ in the City and through his role as Chair of HIVE leading the review of the Interfaith Forum.
The music department has continued to seek to rebuild after the closure through COVID.. Under the leadership of Brian Moles, the choir at St Mary’s maintained the high quality of music in worship and the various recitals associated with the Organ Project saw an increasing number attending,. The use of social media has become an important aspect of our mission and witness and is for those still unable to gather at Church a lifeline. There is a streamed service on Sundays and 3 days a week from the Parish Church. There was other engagement with people through a well-established (and followed) presence on both Face Book (over 3000 followers) and Twitter. The Parish also has an established YouTube page which has been heavily used. The accumulated effect of all these activities has been an ongoing growth in membership and a maintaining of a high profile within the local communities and further afield.
The PCC review the major risks which impact the work of the Church in the parish on a regular basis. Systems have been established to mitigate the significant risks. The major ‘risk’ currently is the building at St Wilfrid’s as this is a drain on limited resources and steps have been taken to secure the closure and sale of the building.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The total income on ordinary unrestricted funds was £148,890 and is detailed in the Financial Statements. £174,018 was incurred to provide the Christian Ministry from the parish of St. Mary, Portsea, which included the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The sum that the Churches in the deanery have to find is shared between the churches according to a formula that is based mainly on a head count of congregations and an assessment of its socio economic situation.
The net unrestricted result for the year was a surplus of £48,560, including a gain on investments of £73,688, which increased the unrestricted funds brought forward at the beginning of the year of £76,383 to £124,943. There was a deficit restricted result of £3,150, including a loss on investment of £4,060, decreasing the restricted fund from £38,759 to £35,589. The Parish has endowments of £960,055 (which saw losses of £220,168 in the year).
The St. Mary’s Church Portsea Music Foundation makes regular reports to the PCC. Its work of supporting the choir and organ scholars of the parish church makes an important contribution to the ministry of the Parish as well as sharing some of the music costs of the parish church.
The parish investments are set out in note 5 of the notes to the Financial Statements. The policy of the parish is to invest in funds to maintain a balance between income yielding investments and investments that provide both income and capital growth. All investments are with the Church of England Investments Funds or the Charities Official Investment Funds as the parish believe these funds have a policy of good practice as regards social, environmental and ethical considerations in their investments.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
It is PCC policy to maintain balances on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately three months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balances of £124,943 on unrestricted and unallocated funds at the year end does not exceed this target.
It is our policy to invest funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and CCLA Investment Funds On behalf of the Parochial Church Council

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on ________________________________ and signed on its behalf by:
## **Chairman – Revd. Canon R C White**
**PARISH OF ST MARY'S PORTSEA**
**11.**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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) (effective January 2015)’, the Charities Act 2011 and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.
The PCC consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the PCC’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Funds**
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted Funds are used for the purpose for which the income was given. Interest earned on restricted funds is applied firstly to the purpose for the restricted fund and any surplus is applied to general purposes of the PCC. Endowment Funds are invested to provide income for the general purposes of the PCC.
The accounts 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.
## **Incoming Resources**
## _**Voluntary income and capital sources**_
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on covenants or Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are reliably quantifiable.
Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross.
## _**Other ordinary income**_
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.
## _**Income from investments**_
Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer.
## _**Gains and losses on investments**_
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold.
Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.
## **Resources Used**
## _**Grants**_
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
## _**Activities directly relating to the work of the Church**_
The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when payable.
**PARISH OF ST MARY'S PORTSEA**
**12.**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **Fixed Assets**
## _**Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings**_
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by S.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable 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. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.
## _**Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment**_
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £5,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
## **Financial Instruments**
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and investments in stocks and shares. The measurement basis used for these instruments is detailed below.
## **Investments**
Investments are stated at market value inclusive of accrued income as at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
## **Realised/Unrealised gains and losses**
All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sale proceeds and opening market value or purchase date if later. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the end of the year and opening market value, or purchase date if later. Realised and unrealised gains are not separated in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Debtors and cash at bank**
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, deposits with banks and other shortterm highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.
## **Creditors and provisions**
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 trade discounts due.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **11. MOVEMENT OF FUNDS (Continued)**
The St Mary’s Church general fund has incurred a surplus of £39,387 and the Parish of St Mary’s Portsea general fund has incurred a deficit of £63,495. This was caused by substantial repairs carried out in the year and Bi-annual maintenance carried out on St Mary’s.
Clergy Housing Repair Fund represents amounts set aside to redecorate clergy housing on a change of occupant.
St Wilfrid’s Restoration and Maintenance Fund represent donations and fund raising for the restoration and maintenance of St Wilfrid’s Church.
The Drake Bequest represents funds given to invest and provide income for the maintenance of the minibus for members of the Old People’s Day Centre at St Faiths and St. Faith’s Minibus Fund represents donations, grants and funds raised for the replacement of the minibus for the old people’s day centre. As the centre has now closed down, the parish is using the interest on these funds to assist the elderly in transport to Parish Events.
The St Mary’s Assistant Organist fund represents a grant received to cover the cost of the assistant organist.
The St Mary’s Flower fund represents amounts set aside to cover the cost of decorating St Mary’s church throughout the year.
St Faith’s Organ fund is used to cover the cost of repairs and maintenance of the organ.
