OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Sl Michael le Belfrey Church Council {PCC) is responsible. with the Vicar {Matlhew Porter) for
good governance of the Church.
Over the last 12 months the church - oflen known as The Belfrey - has continued lo sustain
and develop ils ministry and mission, aiming to be serving Gods translonnat￿n of the North
through everything we do.
The general theme of our activities and prayers in 2020 was Build. Not only did we make good
plans for the future renovation and renewal of our church building, but stronger relational lies
were built behveen many people through online small groups and meetings. as we learned to
support and reach out drfferently due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Back in 2015 the PCC agreed four slralegic emphases lo help prioritise and plan more
effectively, and these remained central lo our strategy and our work during 2020. These are..
making disciples levangelism),. nurtunng disciples Idiscipleshipl., d&v6loping leadors
Ileadershipl and planting churches (church planting). The values of generosity, simplicity,
feslivily and humility have also continued lo be highlighted. In 2020 the Leadership Team and
PCC spent time revisiting these strategic emphases and values. in preparation for Ihe launch
of a Five Year Roadmap in 2021.
We believe that a community living a purposeful Chrisl-cenlred lrfe adds enomious value lo
society. As we respond lo the gracious love of Christ. so we wanl lo live lives of service in our
city and region.
When considering the objectives of the charity Ihe trustees have referred lo the guidance
contained in the Charty Commission's general guidance on public benefit. This financial report
will highlight some of the public benefit of St Michael le Belfrey Church.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Church attendanc8
Sl Michael le Belfrey has a simple structure of congregalions and groups. At the start of 2020
we had 4 Week￿ services {on Sundays. meeting in Sl Michael le Belfrey Church or online at
9am, 11am and 6pm., and on Wednesdays, at 12.30pm when not in lockdown). From late
March, in-person services were lemporarity replaced with online services on￿, due to nalional
emergency regulalions. In July, an 8am in-person communion Servi￿ was launched, but was

replaced in September by the resumption of our 9am. 11 am and 6pm Sunday services. at
which point our Wednesday 12.30pm seNice also resumed. By the end of 2020 our Sunday
provision had grown to 5 weekly servI￿s, as the 11 am and 6pm had begun smaller services
into the Belfrey Hall. Throughout 2020 we had approximately 37 midweek groups, known as
Belfrey Groups.
Al the Annual Meeting 2020 there were 398 people on the church electoral roll {plus a further
88 at G2, a church begun by us in 2004, still legalty under our governance). The average
weekly attendance during October 2020 was 449 for congregations meeting in Sl Michael le
Belfrey Churchlthe Belf￿Y Hall (including seNing teams), and 607 onlineltelephone linkups,
making a weekty lotal of 1018. (Please note this is based on data for the month of October
only, and was affected by CovKF19 r8Slnct￿nS.j
Professions of farth, baplism, and confimialion are important lo us as public marks of following
Jesus Christ. Wrth many services held online in 2020 il was hard for us lo gauge responses
but nevertheless we know of at least 10 professions of faith. We have been restricted in our
ability lo baptise but despite this we have conducted 1 revaffimiation of baptismal faith, and
baptised 4 infants and 6 adults. and confirmed 4 adults.
Public Benefit Review of the year
Community
The clergy and staff team have continued lo sepie nol just the people of The Belfrey but also
the wider community. We have had Sl Michael le Belfrey church open almost every day during
an average week when not in lockdown, welcoming over 10,000 visitors to come in and
discover something of our heritage and lo hear stories of faith today. Up lo March 2020 our
youth and children's centre. The Slorehouse, provided youth groups and support for a wide
range of young people inside and outside the church. It also ran parenting courses, a group
for those wrth pre-school children, including Dads & Little 'Uns. We also, up lo March served
homeless and vulnerable members of our city through Never Give Up, providing a weekly hol
meal in the Belfvey Hall. Welcome lunches l¢)ok place al The Vicarage in Jubilee Terrace in
January and February. to welcome newcomers to The Beifrey, wtth one online welcome
meeting taking place in October. The senior staff are able lo give up lo 1 Oyo of their time lo
the Diocese of York or to assisting other churches and lo the New Wine network of churches.
We continued to invest in running Alph8 courses, moving online in the autumn, which provided
space for those exploring faith lo find answers lo their questions. We believe that helping
people find faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest public benefit that we can provide.
Buildings
Sl Michael le Belfrey and Sl Cuthbert's Church {￿r House of Prayer) are significant buildings
which we value very much and have continued to maintain and upgrade under the guidance
of our Facilities Manager, Rob Hill, to assist us in our mission and ministry and as part of our
heritage. Plans for the renovation and redevelopment of St Michael ￿ Belfrey Church
continued as we mel wtih Ihe Diocesan Advisory Committee {DAC) and herttage groups lo
discuss and consider our plans. The church also owns The Beifrey Hall, 13 Hempland Drive
and 28 Langdale Avenue. It rented the Parish Centre111112 Minster Yard) from York Minster
as church offices.11 also rented the Storehouse for our youth and children's work, until summer
2020. It owned various buildings to house interns. St Michael le Belfrey Church, St Culhbert's
Church and the Belfrey Hall were, oulsKle of lockdown, used most days, not jusl for worship
and prayer, but also for meelings, ￿nCerts, theatre produclions and as a home to Ihe

Active, and other churches use our photocnpier to produ￿ their newsletters.
Money
Sl Michael le Belfrey is a not-profrt-making, charitable organisation and we see all financial
provision as money for mission and ministry. Our income was £777,421 plus £5,920,427
restricted lo the Impact project and £2,550,000 restricted lo church planting for a total of
£9,247,848. Not only was this money used to pay our staff and to fund various aspects of
church life, but much was given away. especially to vanous long-lerm Mission Partners in
York, the UK and abroad. We support the local Diocese, conlribuling £177,392 in 2020 which,
after supporting our three full-time slipendiary clergy posts, supports the Diocese of York in
its wider mission in schools, and a breadth of communities. rural and urban.
People
People are the key resource of the church, because church is first and foremost people. The
PCC would like lo Ihank all the paid and voluntary staff who have contributed so much over
the year. In 2020 we said goodbye to Chris Rousell. and welcomed 1 new full-lime member
of staff - Joe Portway. Izzy Pysanczyn increased her hours with us as she added the role of
Vicar's PA lo her existing role as Betfrey Doors c￿rdinatOr. Grateful thanks are given to Rev'd
Liz Ransford who retired as a licensed dergy member of our church.
Impact
The Impacl team together with LDN Architects and the Oesign team are thankful Ihal we have
continued to work on the project throughout 2020 with minimal disruption.
The year presented its fair share of chalknges as we consulted wth stskeholders about Ihe
proposed Reordering. For the Diocese of York, Historic England and the amenity societies
this project is of a level of magnitude and complexity that has not had to be considered for
some time. In response lo their concerns. the architect carried out a specrfic design options
appraisal, which looked again at the gallery, staircases and the flexib￿ space on the ground
floor. Despite making some design modifications rt was a struggle to elicit support, so in
December 2020 Ihe Impact board instructed LDN Archtlects to carry out a more signrficant
revision lo the ¢oncepl design. The Impact board are also revisiting a feasibility study prepared
earlier in the year for No.12 Minster Yard, to consider whether a redevelopment of the parish
centre provides options Ihal may support the revised concept design for Sl Michael le Belfrey
and avoid the project needing to compromise againsl ils objeclives, particularly wrth respect
to accessible meeting space.
As part of the Facuty application proc£ss foi the Dmxese of York, it is essential that the Belfrey
makes a strong case for the reordering through the Statements of Need and Signrficance.
These documents will be strengthened acoxdingty and submitted lo the Di0￿Se along with
the latest design drawings.
The Belfrey, through Impact, has supported St Lawrence with the Organ restoration project
which included underwriting some of the cost. It was a challenging project for St Lawrence
and Nicholson & Co, the company who restored the organ. lo complele but the results are so
worthwhile. The organ looks beaulrful and the sound of it being played just encourages you lo
sing God's praisesl It has already been well used to help the church family of St Lawrence
through advent and to celebrate Christmas.

During the summer a series of surveys were carried out to assess the extent and nature of
repairs necessary for the project, while in September workshops were held to consider in more
detail specrfic features such as seating and meeting spaces, slaging, a baptistery,
sustainability and accessibilty.
Revised cost reports were received refiecting the revisions to the Concept design which could
impact on the later design and construction stages. A value engineering exercise was
conducted to assess if all the proposed works were necessary and whether they sal within the
scope of the Impact project.
In early December a pre planning application was submitted to Cty of York Council seeking
an inilial steer on external features of the projecl including the landscaping and new door
openings at the wesl elevation.
As 2021 is now well underway, we look forward lo receiving feedback from the Council soon..
consulting with the Diocese in March when we hope lo gain a greater sense of their support,.
and to recommence the developed design work on the project.
Church Planting
Sl Michael le Bewrey is a resource church. seeking to give time, energy and people lo our
Diocese and region in a variety of ways. especially through church planting, as part of the
Diocese of York's Multiply strategy. We were pleased in 2020 to re￿1ve Vicky Earll as a new
planting curate. We were also delighted to announce a large gtft of £2.55m to establish a
Northern Church Planting Fund, lo be held in Irusl by Stewardship. The Fund will help support
future plants across the North. In 2020 we took £50,000 from this Fund to support the work of
the St Hild Centre for Church Planting {lo be distributed over 3 years), and we plan to lake
£60,000 from the Fund for each future church plant. We are delighled that Ihe Fund can be
added lo by further donalions, so the work of church planting and revitslisation may conlinue
hopefully into the long term.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
In February 2020 we conducted a major church sutvey. The ￿sUItS were encouraging, with
much to analyse and areas to improve. We aim to do such a survey annually.
In order lo further our vision in the year ahead. we have begun to publicise our Five Year
Roadmap. The map tums our previous strategic emphases into Aims, lo which a new first aim
is added - of Serving York. Wrth many struggling in 2020 due to the effects of the pandemic.
it is important that our church does all rt can lo support vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
The Five Year Roadmap wll be communicated inside and outside of church in a variety of
ways.11 particularly highlights five 'stretch goals., summarising key actions".
every one loves one
every one brings one
every one disciples one
every leader Irains one
every church plants one
St Michael le Belfrey continues to plan for growth. not for decline. We believe we have a
strategic and God-given vision and humbly, prayerfully and confidently seek for it lo be
furthered in 2021 and beyond. We plan lo send out Mike Perkins wilh a team in the next 12
months or so to revitalize a local church in the Diocese of York. We're pleased to be part of
the Diocese's strategic planning for the coming years as they seek to grow and lo particularly

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
impact the 20s40s age group. We will also continue developing our strategic plans for r
ordering St Michael le Beifrey church. All this will be demanding and exciting as we look to the
future.
In 2018 the PCC approved a proposal from the leadership of G2 thal, in view of the size lo
which il has grown and its exciting plans for future developmenl, it should cease to be a
satellite church of The Belfrey and become a free-standing church within the Diocese of York.
The legal process for implementing this change began, with G2 becoming a Mission Initiative
through a Bishop's Mission Order in January 2020, whilst still under The Belfrey's leadership.
This is an interim stage towards G2's full Independen￿ from The Belfrey. The Belfrey will
provide whalever support G2 needs during the process of transition.
LEADERSHIP
The Church is led by the Vicar wilh Ihe assistance of a Leadership Team (the 'Vicar's
Leadership Team, which meets weekly) and is governed by the PCC, which meets monthly.
It is managed by a team of staff and volunteers.
The PCC has delegated some decision-making powers to the Human Resources Group (for
HR matters), the Impact Project Board (for the reordering of Sl Michael le Belfrey Church) and
the World Mission Steering Group {for overseeing mission partners) with terms of reference
for the HR Group updated in 2018. Terms of Referen￿ for the Impact Project Board were
updated in 2020, stating that the Chair need no longer be a member of ihe PCC, and that a
Church Warden should be on the Board.
All major governance matters are decided by the Vicar and PCC together.
The only committee required by law is the Standing Committee. This is made up of the Vicar,
Associate Minister, Church Wardens. Secretary and Treasurer. 11 has power to transact the
business of the PCC between rts meetings. subject to any directions given by the Council.
Given that the PCC meets monthly, the standing committee rarely meets. In 2020, decisions
were made by the Standing Committee once in an online meeting. and occasionally by email,
both relating to practical responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
CHARiff GOVERNANCE CODE:
As a charitable body, we fulfil the 7 principles set out in the Charity Governance Code as

leaders and planting churches.
2. Leadership..
The church is led by the Vicar with the aSsislan￿ of a Leadership Team and is governed by
the PCC. The Vicar has freehold of the church. Both the Vicar and Associate Minister are of

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST
MICHAEL LE BELFREY WITH ST CUTHBERT, YORK
ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
highly value the ministry of the whole church, with much work being done by volunteers,
including small group leaders, helpers and pray-ers in all sorts of areas of church life.
3. Integrity..
We are followers of Jesus who seek to live under the authority of Scripture in the power of the
Holy Spirit, while recognising our imperfections and weaknesses and our need of God's grace.
We seek lo live with integrity, telling the truth and abiding by the law of the land. At pcc
meetings we name conflicts of interest. We seek lo honour each other, speak well of each
other and give each other the benefrt of the doubt. In 2020 we especially appreciated Ihe
values of generosity, humility. simplicity and festivity.
4. Decision-making, Risk and Control..
We have a number of key goals for the year which are regularly monitored. We review terms
of reference. policies and our risk register. Our PCC membership is refreshed annually. Our
accounts are annually and professionalty audited. Our accounts, annual reports and various
publications are shared wrth the 010￿$e of York, of which we are part. All staff are lin
managed.
5. Board Effectiveness..
The Vicar's Leadership Team meets most weeks and our PCC meets monthly. The Vicar
meets with the Wardens every other month. We regularty take advice from experts Outside
our church, especially in specialist HR or finance matters. We believe the PCC has a good
mix of skills, experience, common sense and prayerfulness. New PCC members are given
Iruslee induction and all undergo basic online safeguarding training.
6. Diversity..
God's Kingdom is made up of all manner of people but, historicalty, thè Belfrey has not fulty
reflected this diversity in ils membership, slaffing and leadership, partty because of Ihe
background and makeup of York residents. In a year in which issues of equality have gained
particular prominence nalionalty and internationally through such things as the Black Lives
Matter movement, we reviewed our hislonc memorials in church and found no links to slavery.
We have continued to seek lo make progress towards greater diversity within the leadership
of this church. We are pleased that dNersty is now one of our church values agreed by the
PCC at the start of 2021.
7. Openness & Accountability..
Our key stakeholders are our church family. Those who belong lo The Belfrey nomially show
this by joining our electoral roll, worshipping regularly al one of our services, joining a small
group and giving regularty. Most choose lo receive a weekly email from the Vicar, which
contains a weekly message. as well as news ttems. a calendar of services and Belfrey evenls,
links to useful resour￿$ for church members, and the latest PCC Minules. Up lo lockdown,
every two weeks the main news for all church members was produced on video and shown in
serVI￿S and included in the weekty email. As well as verbal notices in our seNices our church
provides regular infomiation on various social media plaffoms, including Facebook, Instagram
and Twitter, and there is a Belfrey Prayer page on Facebook. At the start of2020 we produced
the second edrtion of our church magazine- called Cuttivate, providing inforrnalion and stories
about church lrfe, of interest both inside and outside our church. We take seriously negative
feedback, and suggestions on how to improve our church lrfe, discussing this at VLT and
occasionally at PCC. The Church Survey in February 2020 was helpful in many ways, giving
us infomiation about lots of aspects of church lrfe from the church famity. We spent part of a
PCC Day considering the survey. and it fed into our 5 Year Roadmap. We also encourage

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overall ordinary unrestricted donation income rose by 6¥., but within this there were
tremendous variations between different types of donations, which were mainly attributable lo
the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic - weekty offerings in services fell from £41,569 to
£10,056, bul we were blessed by a 7.5% rise in planned giving, other one-off donations rising
from £18,438 to £30,357 and a £25,000 legacy (which more than offsel this decline}. It was
encouraging to see that even though we could not meet as usual, giving was still in the
forefront of people's minds and a lot of people found another way lo give, either through our
Churchsuite giving link or by posting cheques to the Parish Cenlre. As we were unable to hire
out neither the Belfrey Hall nor the church. trading income was £7k less than budgeted and
£11 k less than in 2019.
As the landlord of the Storehouse wanted to end our lease early for redevelopment of the
area, we were offered a payment of £15.000. which included the rateable value of £1 Ok, £4k
from the landlord and £1 k refund of rent paid in advance. This money will be used lowards
future youth and children's work.
Expenditure during the year was reduced as evenls and other aclivities had to be done either
online or not al all. However, paymenls lo our mission partners, rent. insurance, and staff costs
remained the same. Alhough, we did ulilise the government's Job Retention Scheme as
appropriate and were able to reclaim £8.826 under the scheme.
The total unrestricted income was £675,048 and total unrestricted expenditure was £739,572.
Wè had planned lo use £144k of our reserves in order lo be able lo do everything we wanted
to do in 2021. Because of the reduction of expenditure due to Covid-19 and the stabilty of our
income we only needed to use £64k.
In January 2020 we announced a donation of £5,900,000 restricled lo the building project
Ilmpactl of St Michael le Belfrey Church. We received £750,000 of that donation and the rest
will be re￿iVed over the next two years. The remaining £5.150.000 is shown as a debtor in
the accounts. (see note 14 in the accounts)
Expenditure on the Impact project can be broken down as follows..

the first instalment of that donation in the amount of £50,000 be distributed over three years
to St Hild Centre for Church Planting. As we onty received £50,000 of the £2,550,000 the
remaining amount of £2,500,000 is show as a debtor. (see note 14 in the accounts)
As a result of Ihese two large donations menlioned above our total funds carried fornard look
very large al just over £10.5m. However, both of these donations are reslricled in purpose and
will be spent over the next few years. If you look at note 2 in the accounts, the large
amounts have been split out so you can clearty see the comparison between 2019 and 2020
excluding them.
G2,$ 2020 budget was a deficit budget wtth planned use of savings lo balance it. Due lo Covid-
19 there were savings made due lo meeting only online for most of the year. They managed
a nearly balanced budget onty using £844 of reserves. Total donations were £87,876 and their
expenditure came to £88,720 as shown in the G2 Surplus restricted fund in note 19.

Our approach to fundraising - We don't use an external fundraiser and have no complaints
about our fundraising activities.
We are very thankful for the continued support of our finance volunteers Gill Mclntosh, Val
Patrick and lan Fergie especialty as we had to work differently from the end of March. We are
also grateful for the work of HPH, Chartered Accountants. to whom we outsource our payroll
processing. Thank you also to Ben Burns. who lefl us as Treasurer in November 2020 10
spend more time with his growing famity. He was such a blessing lo us over the last few years
as he helped to guide our finances.
The Church Wardens are acling Treasurers with the support of the Finance Manager while
we are looking for a new Treasurer.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The PCC has taken external financial advice on the investment of funds reslricled for
expendrture on the Impact Project, taking account also of its reserves and funds held for other
projects. In view of the likely limescale for expend[lU￿ of Ihe bulk of these funds and
uncertainty over market conditions in the meanlime, the PCC has accepted advice that il would
be appropriate to avoid signrficanl risk and keep ils funds in cash deposits. The PCC will
authorise Ihe opening of additional bank deposrl accounts as necessary, seeking to maximise

risks arise from a variety of aspects of the church's internal operations and external
environment, including security, health and safety and finance. The PCC reviews the risk
register on al least an annual basis and monitors implementation of the necessary miligaling
actions.
RESERVES POLICY
Our policy is lo keep a cash reserve equating to three months, essential running costs. Al the
moment that is around £71,000. This allows us to provide for unforeseen short-lerm
expenditure lon such items as building repairs) or shortfalls in income,. and lo respond
promptly lo future opportunities in support of the church's mission.
Our lolal unrestricted net currenl assets at 31 sl Cecember 2020 amounted lo £308,026, and
after allocating £144,400 to be spent in 2021 and £15,414 on fabric repairs in the nexi 12-18
months the cash reserve are £148,212. The PCC review this figure regularty so that any

Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial sts¢ements
We have been apwinted as auditors under section 144 of the Chanties Act 2011 and report in
accordan￿ with the Act and relevant regulatsons made or having effect thereunder.
Our objective$ are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finan¢ial statements as a
whole are free from material misslatemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an
auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted In accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS delect a
material misstslement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularib'es, induding fraud, a￿ instances of non<omplian¢e with laws and regulations. We
design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo detect material
misstalemenls in respect of Irregulants"es, Including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are
capable of detectsng irregularits"es. Including fraud is detailed below..
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory fraff*wod( applicable to the charity and
the area in which il operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary lo
applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the
risk, recognising that the nsk of not dete¢bng a malenal misstslement due to fraud is higher than
the risk of not detecting one resultsng from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment
by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresenlalions, or through collusion.
We identrfied the greatest potential for fraud in the followng areas. existence and liming of
recognition of income and the posting of unusual joumals. We discussed these risks with

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as pemittted by FRS 102. Grants of a revenue
nature are recognized in the state of income and retained earnings in Ihe same period as Ihe
related expenditure.
Expendlture re¢ognltlon
Liabilrties are reccgnised as expenditure as s(N)n as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the PCC lo Ihal expenditure, il is probable that settlement will be required and the
amount of obligation can be measured reliably.
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, rf that award creales
a binding or constructive obligation on Ihe PCC. The Diocesan Freewill Offering is accounled
for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when rt is incurred and is accounted
for gross.
Flxed assets

improvement, is written off.
Other land and buiklings held on behaw of the PCC for its own purposes are valued at market
value. No depreciation is charged against such properties as they are regularly maintained to
such an extent that their estimated economic lives and residual values are such that their
depreciation is insignrficanl. At each year end an assessment is carried out lo ascertain whether
there is any indication Ihal the properties should be wrrtlen down li.e. whether its carrying
amount is more than rts recoverable amount). If there is no indication that a propety should be
written down, it is not necessary lo estimate the recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Icontinuedl
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the PCC has a present obligation resulting from
a past event that will probably result in the Iransfer of funds to a third paty and Ihe amounl due
to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliabW. Creditors and provisions are
normally recognised at their setuement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial Instruments
The PCC only has financial assets and financial liabilrties of a kind that qualrfy as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are inf(ially recognised at transaction value and
subsequently measured al their settlement value.
Operatlng lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where subslanlially all of the benefits and risks of
ownership remain with the lessor are charged against income on a stTaTrght-line basis over the
period of the lease.
Irrecoverable Value Added Tax
The PCC is not registered for Value Added Tax IVATI and accordingly expendrture is shown
gross of irrecoverable VAT. The VAT incurred from lime lo time on certain fabric repair and
maintenance expenditure can, however, be recovered under the Listed Places of Worship Grant
Scheme.
Golng Concern
The PCC has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The PCC has a
reasonable expectation that the church has adequate resources lo continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns have meant there has been a decrease in offerings &
events income but these have not been signrficant.
Expenditure has reduced due to less spending on the running of the church & small cutbacks
to other budget areas. The church has also made use of the Job Retention Grant Scheme.
Whilst the situation remains uncertain. it does appear that the church is dealing well with the
current situation and from the most recent Govemmenl infomialion there is an indication that
the church may be able lo reopen and charrtable church activities return to normal by late
June 2021, at the earfiest.
Plans for the future are being considered bul with Ihe possibilty thal church services may
resume as normal by Juty 2021. no major changes are planned. Further cut backs on spending
are possible rf required.
The PCC continue to believe the goiThJ cOn￿M basis of acLounting is appropriate in preparing
the financial slalemenls.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Icontinuedl
Heritage Assets
The Vicar and Church Wardens hold on special trust for the PCC sifver and plate gifted lo Ihe
church for ecclesiastical purposes. They dale from the 17th century and therefore, there is
insufficient cost information available. Due to the unique nature of these assets and their historic
association with worship at the church over hundreds of years, convenlional valuation
techniques are not applicable and therefore have not been valued in Ihe financial slalemenls.
The silver and plate, 22 items in total are listed in the church's inventory and are regarded by
law as inalienable assets which the PCC would require a facutty for disposal. Inspection can be
arranged at reasonable times where they are located.
Penslons
The PCC pays employer contributions into a variety of pension schemes consisting of individual
employee's personal pension schemes of their choice and a workplace pension scheme lo fulfil
the PCC'S auto enrolmenl obligations {Church Workers Pension Fund).
Church Workers Penslon Fund- Penslon Bulldèr 2014
Sl Michael le Belfrey PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of Church
Workers Pènsion Fund for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England
Pensions Board, which holds the assels of the schemes separalely from Ihose of the Employer
and the other participating employers.
The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefrts Scheme, a
deferred annuty section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known
as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Scheme
The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of sections,
Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefrt
schemes.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme Ihal provides a lump sum thal members use to
provide benefits at retirement. Pension contTibulions are recorded in an account for each
member. This account may have bonuses added by Ihe Board before retirement. The bonuses
depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requiremenl for Ihe Board to
grant any bonuses. The account. plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members, Normal
Pension Age.
There is no sutrpdivision of assets belween employers in each section of the Pension Builder
Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a muk￿emploYer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS
102. This is because il is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and
liabilities to specrfic employers and means that contributions are accounted for 8s rf the Scheme
were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SOFA in the year are
the contributions payable {2020: £18,304, 2019: £16,297).

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Icontinuedl
Pension Builder Scheme (continued)
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is ca￿led OLrt On￿ every three years. The most
recentwas carried out as al 31 December 2016. Avaluation as al 31 D￿ember 2019 was under
way as at 31 December 2020.
For Ihe Pension Builder 2014 section, the valualion revealed a surplus of £1.8m on Ihe ongoing
assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current lime.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that rf anolher employer fails, Sl Michael le Belfrey
PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer's pension liabilities.
Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management lo make judgements.
eslimales and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These eslimales and
judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The directors believe that the following judgement is critical due lo the potential material impact
it has on the financial slalements.
Included wrthin debtors are amounts received in respect of donalions towards the Impact
project and Church planting. These amounts have been paid by donors to Stewardship who
hold thè funds on trust for the Church. The Trustees consider that the income recognition
criteria of entitlement, probabilty of ￿ceipt and measurement have all been met. The
donations have therefore been reco3nised in full and included in income as shown in note 2.
The debtor will be released as funds are received from Stewardship over the life of the
projects.
Had the income not been recognised in full this year then donations and reserves would
reduce by £7,650,000.

The purpose and use of each restricted fund is generally explained by the name of that respective fund.  The Impact Project fund is to be used to fulfil the plans to renovate and renew St Michael le Belfrey Church building so it can become more fit for purpose for worship and mission in the coming years. The Church Planting Fund is a new fund and has nothing to do with the previous Desginated Fund for Church Planting in Note 18.

## **21. Related party transactions** 

No member of the PCC received any remuneration or expenses for their services to the PCC.  Rev'd Matthew Porter, Rev'd Andrew Baker, Rev'd Michael Perkins and Rev'd Victoria Earll are reimbursed for parochial expenses which are necessarily incurred by them to fulfil the duties of their post in accordance with the guidelines set down by the Central Stipends Authority of the Church of England. In addition Rev'd Porter receives set statutory parochial fees for officiating at weddings and funerals, these are accounted for to the local Diocese.  Rev'd Christian Selvaratnam was employed under a contract of employment to carry out his role within the church but is not paid for his services as a PCC member. A son of a trustee was paid £850 for design work relating to the Impact project and it is included under office and administration costs. There is no outstanding balance as at 31st December 2020. 

During the year a total of £66,445 (including gift aid) (2019 - £71,511) was donated to the PCC by PCC Members (trustees), including close family members.
