All Church

ELECTORAL ROLL

The Electoral Roll stands at 160.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Given the precariousness of the times that this accounting period relates to it is a remarkable reflection of the generosity of its parishioners that it has seen the income increase. Despite the restrictions afforded to us to mitigate against the risks contained within the pandemic which has seen the church closed for around 50% of the year comparably, the year has proven successful, at least in terms of finances.

Regular giving has increased exponentially in favour of the Parish Giving Scheme, which by default reflects in the cash flow balances. In the year the church has continued meeting the requirements from the diocese in terms of the common fund, has been active in encouraging the growth of the church by finding different ways to worship and come together, meaning that 2021 is entered into in a positive financial position with the Church able to honour its commitments and looking forward to re-establishing a regime of cyclical charitable giving, fellowship and worship.

In closing, please note that it is our policy to invest any fund balances in the Central Board of the Church of England Deposit Fund.

Jacqueline Oliver

Treasurer to the PCC of Wath All Saints Parish Church.

MANAGING TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)

VICAR’S REPORT

After the unfortunate end to 2019 we commenced 2020 with a sense of vision for the coming 12 months. We began the process of applying the Diocese to become part of the Centenary Project (CPW), and to employ our own Children & Family’s Worker. Thankfully, our bid was successful, and we are currently advertising the post.

Rev Charles Burton and | had also planned that post Easter we would host an enquirers course, look at started 2 house groups, begin Café Church on the 5 Sundays of the year, and start a group for the 10+ age groups. Also, in January we had started a new Baptism Preparation evening for the numerous families applying for Baptism.

What happened next needs no further explanation. Although we managed to recommence worship briefly in the autumn we had to stop again shortly after what was a somewhat subdued Christmas.

The upside of CV19 has been that we have moved much of our worship online through ZOOM and You Tube, and the Thursday Quiz has been a focus for fellowship. Plus, our Thoughts for the Week are distributed both electronically and delivered by hand. This has meant that many more people, including some who live some distance away and have never visited Wath have been able to join us. But as most of us are aware it is just not the same as the people of God joining in worship and fellowship.

This has meant that it has been a strange year, but thanks to many people | get a sense that as a Church we have moved forward, that for many of us our faith has grown, the prayer meeting being evidence of this. Our Giving Sunday was delayed but we had a remarkably successful response in the autumn where a number of people responded generously. Thank you to ail who contributed.

One important aspect of the Diocesan vision is that we are currently exploring the joining together of Wath and Brampton Churches into one Parish. Whilst there will undoubtably be an increase in workflow initially, it is hoped that the new structure envisaged will mean that responsibilities will be shares out in the future.

We can only look back on what has beena difficult 12 months positively, because of the generosity and work of many of you. By telephone, email, care and socially distanced conversations the Church has truly been the Body of Christ, supporting each other in word and deed. Sue has maintained links with all our children and families.

lam incredibly grateful to Charles, Geoff & Gill, Rachel, Barbara and Jackie who have helped in various ways to maintain the life and fabric of the Church. Also, to Mike for his work in giving us an up-to-date online presence and being our ZOOM host. To the Gardening group for the magnificent flowers and the gradual reordering of the Churchyard, and to Beth and others who have contributed to our ‘Thoughts’ and online services.

Thank you to those who have stood down from the PCC in 2020, particularly Carol, who after 28 years is no longer our Safeguarding Officer. | am grateful to those who have taken up new roles and other who continue in existing roles, thank you.

VICAR’S REPORT (continued)

We will not forget 2020 In a hurry, but in a strange way | feel that we are better equipped heading into 2021 than we might have expected. Which just supports that old saying of mine, ‘that God often works in spite of us, and not always because of us’.

Every Blessing

MANAGING TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)

CHURCHWARDENS REPORT

In this extremely strange year of Covid, we have still managed to install WiFi in the Church and introduce a ‘contactless giving’ system. Unfortunately, all our events for fund raising were cancelled except for a small Christmas Market outside the church. Many of us have become much more computer literate and kept in touch through ‘zoom’ and other platforms.

More work was completed on the roof alarm, but this still seems to be prone to false alarms due to bird movement.

The Quinquennial inspection and report were completed before the end of the year. There was one item identified as urgent. Lead flashing on the north aisle needed attention. This was completed before the report arrived. A number of other issues were highlighted as medium and long term which we are developing a plan to address. Our church being grade 1 listed needs constant loving care to keep it in “a good state of health”. A very big thank you to everyone who continues to give their time and talents to the upkeep of the church.

A big thank you to everyone for your help and support given to us at All Saints. Our job as Church Wardens would not be possible without the work of a many others who give their time and efforts so freely. While some of these people hold positions of responsibility on the PCC, there are others who work even further behind the scenes who we could not manage without. To all, Thank You.

Geoff and Ray

NOTES OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1 Basis of Accounting

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. 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, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2017 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP (FRS102)).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis.

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

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

Grants and donations are included in the SOFA when any pre-conditions preventing their use by the PCC have been met. For collections and planning giving this is when the funds are received.

Gift Aid and other tax claims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the amount received from HMRC.

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation and settlement is probable and quantifiable.

Resources expended are accounted for on payments basis and are classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
