PCC of All Saints Church. Trull
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022 (continued)
2022 saw the beginning of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic but ils impact continued to be the greatest
challenge to the PCC fijlfilling its charitable objectives and providing public benefit . All facilities have reopened but
not all actpvities have restarted.
Revd Andy Wadsworth completed his fourth year as Rector in October. He has had to oversee staff changes and
recovery trom the pandemic in 2022. He has continued his cleai Bible preaching on Revelation. Luke's Gospel,
Psalms and Nehemiah. as well as seasonal topics.
Our curates Revd Imogen and Revd Jonathan Ball. wth their son Bamey, completed their first year of p05t- .
ordination training by being priested in Decetnber,. Rt Revd Michael Beasley, the new Bishop of Bath & Wells,
came to Trull for this celebration of their ministry. They are the first CiJTates to job-share in this diocese and Katie
Wadsworth is joining with Andy in supeNising their curacy. The congregations have appreciated their different
approaches lo leading worship and new perspectives in preaching, as well as their contribub.on to a fange of
activities both within and beyond the parish.
In ALtgusl Julie Bristow left the church office after 17 years as Church Administrator and Rector's PA. She has
gone far beyond the terms of her job description.. she has been the welcoming face of the church, both in the tiny
office in the old Parish Rooms and in the TCCC,. she has been a pastoral support to people in the office and on the
phone." and she will be missed by the wider village as well. A presentation was made lo Julie at a Sunday lunch.
We are also grateful to her husband Rob for his support of Julie and his DIY skills.
Church Attendance and Membershi
There were 253 narnes on the Electoral Roll at the annual meeting in April 2022, compared with 269 in April 2021.
In 2022 the average weekly attendance al All Saints Trull was 115 aduts and 20 children, with a few MO￿ people
watching live-streamed services or r￿1VIng paper copies. this compares with 100 adults and 20 children in 2021,
and 170 adults and 30 children befoie the pandemic. The fuure for'church Membership" used by the diocese for
calculating the Parish Share that we contribute to the Common Fund that pays for clergy costs and other dio￿an
expenditure is calculated in yet another way. anyone over 18, apart from visitors, who attends a service during
October, or would have done so bul for illness, is counted. Newcomers are not always included in their ffrst year.
On this basis, the annual survey of church attendance in Ocl 2022 produced a membership figure of 1991189 in
person and 10 al home, watching online or with paper copies of the service)., this compares wrth 182 for in-person
and online ServI￿S in Oct 2021. pre-pandemic figures for attendances at a full range of services were 240.
Review of the Year's Activities
During 2022 the PCC had 6 regular meelings with an average attendance of 84¥0. As well as responding to
recovery from the pandemic. they have been looking ahead to the opportunities of the Orchard Grove housing
development in the parish and making plans for improvements to the church building, including better lighting and
more eco-fn"endly heating.
In November Ruth Slade left her post as fvll-lime Youth-worker after 5 energetic years wilh us. when she was
appointed as Growng Faith and Everyday Faith Adviser for the Wells Archdeaconry. We are glad that she, with
Matt and Ellie, haven't moved away and are still active members of the church. We do not have the money lo
appoint a replacement member of staff. Teams of volunteers are taking responsibility for Watchers111-14's, now
gn Sunday evenings) and Pulse for 14-18's on Fiiday evenings. Libby Cuthbertson continues as Chiklren &
Families Worker, she is focussirTrg on under-11's and their parents and carers. She is joined by a large team of
volunteers (all DBS-checked} lo run groups for children on Sundays, Launchpad for ￿11.$ on Wednesday5, and
Angels Itoddlersl on Thursdays. Some activities have been held outdoors in the churchyard and there was a family
weekend al the Wildside Experience ￿￿tre in the Blackdowns.
Julia McFaul has taken over from Hannah Gales as the Parish Safeguarding Offlcer. The PCC agreed an
updated Safeguarding and Safe Recruiting Policy in November 2022. Diana Scholes has continued as PCC
lead for Disability and for Heatth & Safety.
Jane Martin-scott took over trom Anne Lawrence as churchwarden in April, and Liz Willis continued as
churchwarden,. they are 5UPPOrted by several service-stewards. Sue Allen was unable to conb.nue as PCC
Secretary and David Taylor stepped into this role. David Sharpe is still Vice-chair, Treasurer and Reader.
We were able to return to the full range of Sunday services". at 8am there is traditional BCP Communion or Morning
PTayer', the Moming Service at 10.30am is more informal all-age worship on most Sundays
but on the 2nd
Sunday there is a Family Setvice in the TCCC at the same time as a Common Worship service with organ and
choir in church- at 5_30pm there is the Five30 service of contemporary worship in the TCCC. All these seNices
rely on volunteer musicians aad sound team members.

activities are upheld by prayer.. Powethouse, the church prayer-meeling, is held monthly., there is also corw)rate
prayer to start the week, and also for the work amongst young people and for the men's ministry.
The Parish Links are an important part of pastoral care in the parish, maintaining contact with those who live in the
village and letting the clergy know of people in need of a visit-, they also distribute the magazine. Martin Sumpter
Co-ordinates pastoral care", some members of the church are licensed by the Bishop as pastoral visitors. There
have been fewer people coming to IheTwelve-ttFTwo monthly lunchtime meeting for the retired, so il was decided
that the December gathering would be the last one,. we are grateful lo Sandra Jones and all the volunteers who
have helped over the years. However, Coffee Connect has restarted on the first Tuesday of each month and has
bèén Populaf with retired people.
The Trull Church Community Centre has now been opeft for over 8 years and continues to meet the needs of
both the church and the community. All our youth and children's work takes place in the Cenlre, including the
Sunday groups. and after-school activities for different age-groups. Odette Lawton took over the office as Church
Administrator in September. With Andy Dunningham (Centre Manager) also having a desk there, the office is a
welcoming pla￿ to find out what is 90ing on, as well as support.tng the Rector, Curates and Children & Families
Worker in their offices elsewhere in the same building. The TCCC has some new groups that hiie it, replacing
those that dropped out during the pandemic_ Trull Sapling5 Preschool continues to be our major hirer on

the three volunteer rnanagers, and over 50 well-trained volunteers, coordinated by Mervyn Roberts, who make it a
village hub and a welcoming place to meet friends, especially for those who live on their own. Profits from the café
have contributed to the running costs of the Centre. Marcus Kavanagh continues lo keep the Centre clean each
day. The Parish Archives supported by both the chijrch and the parish council are stored upstairs Our Police
Community Support Officers hold their 'surgery' from tirne to time in the Cenlre., we have also hosted groups that
5UPPOrt people wtth different rnedical cond((ions. In 211 these ways, the Centre is helping us lo fulfil one of our fflain
aims, that of carrng for people of all ages in OLsr community.
Houses are springing up on the Orchard Grove development in our parish be￿een Trull village and the
Wellinglon Road. A couple of church members have bought a house on the estate and are starting a midweek
group there. Infomiation is being given to new residents about services and activities offered by the church.

All Saints Trull is part of a joint benefice, sharing the Rector with St Michael and All Angels, Angersleigh. Some
members of the Angefsleigh congregation come to Trull on the Sundays when they have no setvice of their own.
All Saints Trull and St Michael & All Angels Angersleigh are part of a Local Ministry Group with Wilton, Galmington
and Bishops Hull in the Taunton Deanery", Deanery ministers meet to pray, share news and support one another.
There are informal links to the B1 fellowship of Taunton church leaders. Four members of the church are involved
with Taunton Street Pastors at weekends. Two members of the congregalior¢ are involved in the Taunton Team
Chaplaincy for workplaces and now also the courts, on behalf of the churches in Taunton. Olher volunteers have
joined in projects such as delivering supplies to people in need through the Besom in Tauntoft.
Financial Review
We are grateful foi those who continue lo give so faithfully to the work of the church. However, regular gwing
diopped slightly dltring the year. ag some donors died or moved away. Expenditure was a little below budget
because our youth-WOTker left in NOVem￿r and was not ￿plaCed.. the office was not staffed full-time for the whole
year. Income from TCCC hire and the Hive Café increased. So, we had a shortfall of £21,000 in regular income
against routine expenditure in 2022," this was less than expected but we had to draw on our reserves to meet it.
Legacies for general purposes were received from Michael Parsons {£2.500) and Paddy Connett1£1,0001.
In 2020 we r￿1Ve￿ a wonderful legacy of £630,000 from Ruth Pewtress Yor the fabric of the building of All Saints
Parish chu￿ only,. This will pay for the building repairs recommended by the ar¢hitecl, Michael VaL¢ghan, in his
r￿nt quinquennial report and for years to come. Using this legacy, we are also developing plans to renew the
lighting and lo install a more eco-friendly heating system., Peter Chew, Robert Pym and the architect have arranged
initial surveys and sent some reports lo the PCC. The wider ¢hurch and community will be informed and consulted
when clear, practical and costed options are available.
Looking ahead into 2023, we are expecting to have a full range of actTrvit*es but a smaller staff team. The diocese
is asking for an In¢￿aSe of 2Yo in Parish Shate (with Benefice Ministy Allowance) in 2023 but the assessment is
still based on 2019 numbers. Our regular income is starb'ng at a sli9htly lower level than in January 2022. We are
looking al a shortfall of at)oiJt £23,000 over 2023.. planned routine expenditure is £258,000, whilst income would be
£235,000 rf givillg continues at the same level as at the end of 2022. In January 2023 we had over £20,000 in the
bank that wasn't allocated to other purposes, on top of our prudent reserves of 2 months, expenditure. So we
should be able to meet our costs in 2023 but we cannol sustain this level of activity in future years unless planned
regular giving increases. We must also bear in mind that much of the cost of running the TCCC has been met from
profils from the Hive Cafe, which is completety dependent on the avaiEability of volunteers, and hiring out to
organizalions that may have their own financial challenges.
Funds and Reseryes
Total Income for 2022 was £319,563 (2021.. £321,897) of which £29,533 (2021." £15,823) was ReSt[￿ed.
Total Expenditure in 2022 was £353,379 (2021.. £329, 123) of which £32,429 (2021.. £34. 150) was Restricted and
£1,200 (2021.- £1, 100) from Endowment. So there was a Deficit of £33,816 in 2022 (2021_' £7,246).
Total Funds al the end of 2022 were £1,832,061 (2021.. £1,865,877) of which £1.658,464 (2021.- £t,661.360) was
in Restricted Funds Imoslly the value of the TCCC and its equipmeril and the remaining £6(K.930 of Ruth
Pewtress's Fabric legacy), £5,900 (2021.- £7, too) was in Endowment Funds (see below) and £167,697 {2021.'
£197,417) was Unrestricted. Of these Unrestricted Funds £8,042 (2021.- £8.927) are held as fixed assets,and
£36,000 was allocated for replacing equipment & medium-term repaits to the TCCC.
Included in our Unrestricted Res&Nes are sums of money from legacies.. some recent gtfts have been set aside
for fabric & organ repairs (around £7,000). The Lily Fund, with a balance of over £1,000, is to help young people
take part in Christian courses & activities. The remainder of the legacy from Maryaret Sutcliffe towards the cosl of
having a full-time youth-worker was used up in 2022. This leaves over £70,000 unrestricted and unallocated free
reserve5 readily available in the bank. So the PCC mel its target of keeping financial reserves in unrestricted funds
equal to tsvo months, regular expenditure1£50.000}- In add￿"On to this prudent reserve. over £20,000 trom previous
years is available to cover the possible shortfall of this amount beiween income and expenditure in 2023.
The main Restricted Funds are the Hall Development Fund {used to build the Trull Church Community
Centre} and the Ruth Pewtres¥ Fabric Fund for the church building.
Details of the Mission Fund are on p.3 of this Report. Other Restricted Funds include.. the general Fabric Fund
and the Oryan Fund for the church building and organ.. the Trull Aid Fund, given to help members of the parish or

In 2010 the church received a legacy from the estate of Miss Gwen Richards. There were Iwo endowTrents, each
of £7,000.. one towards the maintenance of the churchyatd and one for church flowers," In 2016 the PCC took
measures in accordance with Charity Commission published advice to release the capital of these endowments.
ChaTitable Status: Aims & Ob-eetives and Public Benefit

charilles there Is no separate Goveming Document,, the PCC is subject to thé Parochial Church Councll Powers

Related Trusts and Charities
frull Parish Room 15 a registered" chafl.ty no. 203284" established by a Declaration of Trust dated 11 Oct 1967,
based on an fndenture dated 29 Jan 1886, as varied by a Scheme sealed on 19 Feb 1993. The Custodian
Trustees are the Bath & Wells Oiocesan Board of Finance, who need to be consulted aboul any major changes to
the site. The Managing Trustees. responsible for all routine business, are the PCC of All Saints, Trull. Since the
Parish Rooms have now been demolished, there is no longer any income or expenditure lo be shown in the
a¢counls. However, the Trull Parish Room charity continues to exist as the owner of the site of the former Parish
Room and also of the site of the Old Village Hall, which it acquired from the Trull Village Memorial Hall Trustees for
£10,000 in July 2013 in accordance with an Order of the Charity Commission of 21 May 2013," these two sites form
the site of the new Trull Church CommLfnity Centre, which is itself the property of the PCC All Saints Trull charity.
The possibiliti of merging the Parish Room charity with the main PCC charity wa5 explored in early 2013 but the
Charity Commission did not accept our case that this would simplify the arrangements for the new Centre.
Statement of the PCC'5 Res

The council is responsible for maintaining proper accounts'ng records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the PCC and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the
Charities Act 2011. the applicable Charitses (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the

Risk and Reserves Polic
The flnancial and pastoral risks to which the PCC is exw)sed are reviewed regularty at PCC meetings, the
likelihood and dangers are calculated and measures lo eliminate them are determined. To reduce financial risk, all
cheques from PCC accounts require 2 signatories. The Treasurer makes all online payments, with a daily limit of
£1,000. Liz Willis, a church warden, has full access to the online account to monitor transactions and can suspend
its use if required., at the end of each month she counter-signs all online bank payments on a copy of the bank
statement. Savings are kept in financial institutsons where the balance is covered by the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme_ Resetves are held for around 2 months general expenditure", money is also set aside to
replace equipment with a short lrfespan. The Ruth Pewtress fabric legacy received in 2020 now provides more than
enough reserves to cover emergency repairs lo the church building," it is too large lo be kept in an institution
covered by the FSCS, so is invested in funds managed by CCLA (Churches. Charities and Local Aulhorities)- The
PCC operates Safeguarding and Saler Recruiting Policies that are reviewed annually The PCC is complying wrth
the 2018 General Data Protection Regulations.. we have updated our office database to enable more effi'cient and

and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC. These include fvjnds designated for a
parbcular purpose by the PCC. Restricted funds are ftjnds given to the PCC for specific purposes. For details
of these funds see the table attached. The endowment funds at All Saints are from the legacy of Gwen
Richards, foi church 11ower5 and the churchyard. In 2016 the PCC took measures in accordance wilh Charity
Commission published advice to release the capital of these endowments so that the purpose of the funds
can be achieved more effectively.
lill Tanglble Flxed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are included at cost less depreciation. Depreciation of items such as electhcal
equipment is calculated at approximately 200A of cost, which is considered suffi'cient to write off the assets
over their useful economic lives. Depteciation of items such as fumilure and non-electrical equipment in the
Community Centre is Calculated at 10¥0 of cost. No depreci*ion is being applied to the building itself but the
PCC is exploring the likely cost and liming of future maintenance and repairs, and is setting aside some funds
for this purFX)se. Moveable Chijrch furnishing5 held by the Churchwardens as listed in the inventory held by
the Churchwardens are not included on the Balance Sheet. Consecrated and benefice property is not
included in the accounts under Section 101281 of the char￿eS Act 2011.
liiil Recognition of Income and Expenditure

recognised when payment is made or when a liability has been incurred rf earlier.
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a tegal or constructive obligation committing the
charity to that expendrture, it is probable Ihat settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can
be measured reliabty. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support
costs and governance costs are alIC￿ated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
(iv) Legacies
Income from legacies is cred¢ted to the relevant fund in the year in which it is received, or where there is
sufficient evidence that the legacy wll be received. If not otherwise specified by the testator, I￿aCleS are
nom)alty credited direct to the General Fund.

Notes to the Financial Statoments for tho Year Ended 31 December 2022
',Viil Key JudgeTnents and Estimation Untèrtainty
The preparation of the )Inancial statements requires mangement to make judgements. estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of wlicies and reported amounts of assets and laibilities, income and
expenses. Ests'males and judgements 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. The iesulb.ng accoun*"ng estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
Estimate of legacy inix)me." in 2020 a debtor of £30,000 was recognized in respect of the remainder of a
legacy payable to the PCC. The accounts of the relevant estate were finalised in December 2022. The
balan￿ received was £34,196. The extra £4,196 above estimate is included in income from legacies for
2022.
viii) Expgnditurg on Raising Funds
The expenditrjre on raising funds consists of costs associated with administering donations and fundraising
events.
lixl Financial Instruments
The Church only has financial assets and liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments and are
therefore recognised at transacb.on price and subsequently at amortised cost. These include debtors and
creditors as applicable.
Ix) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of
three months or less from the dale of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
