The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC was registered by the Charity Commission on 4th August 2009, registration number 1130970.
The PCC is the appointing body for two of the trustees of the Caroline Turner Charity.
Objectives and activities
The overall responsibility of the PCC is to co-operate with the vicar in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church. We seek to be a church in Ferriby for Ferriby, with gratitude to God for the privileges of being His people and with the purpose of declaring His excellences to our parish and beyond. The PCC is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Parish Hall and delegates these functions to the Parish Hall Management Committee.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Church attendance
There were 125 parishioners on the church electoral roll, with 80 regularly being the attendance level at Sunday services prior to “lockdown” in March. For the remainder of the year we complied with national guidance and, when open, limited attendance to 45. Services were also available online and via a telephone service. We endeavour to be a church for all ages with several groups for the committed and enquirers meeting in the Parish Hall and local homes. These met before “lockdown” and since, where possible, have continued meeting within guidelines or online. A prayer group (with 55 active members) was also set up on a messaging system.
The Members of the Council have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
The PCC met on 10 occasions with an average attendance of 10 members. Most PCC meetings have been held using zoom technology.
During that time, we have discussed and been informed about:-
The necessary measures needed to address issues arising from the pandemic, Covid19. Appropriate risk assessments were made. The church building was closed during the week and one Sunday service resumed after the first lockdown. The APCM was held in November instead of April.
Major work on the fabric of the church arising from the current Quinquennial inspection began in the second half of 2020 and will be completed early in 2021.
S afeguarding and Health and Safety Policies were updated and are addressed every month.
A Deputy Safeguarding Officer was elected.
Our financial reports have been regularly updated due to the fall in donations, fee and Hall rental and difficult decisions have had to be made.
There was a new electoral roll this year and which was managed very well.
As vice-chair the vicar is acting Chair of Governors of North Ferriby CE Primary School in the absence of the chair due to illness. A new foundation governor has been elected.
A new Caretaker of the Parish Hall was appointed.
Rev Young’s role has been formalised by the Diocese.
The role of technology in the church has been widely investigated and discussed .
Safeguarding
The PCC is aware of its duty arising from the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. The Parish Safeguarding Policy was reviewed towards the end of the year and found to be in accordance with the guidelines issued by York Diocese.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
This has been a difficult year when, due to the lockdowns and other restrictions, income from donations, fees and Hall hiring charges fell significantly. Immediately prior to the first lockdown reserves were transferred from CCLA deposits to the current accounts to ensure they were readily available. The PCC decided to meet its financial commitments which necessitated spending over £20,000 from reserves.
The PCC paid all the Freewill Offering promised to the Diocese £46,548 during the year. The Diocese pays the salary of the vicar and his pension and provides the vicarage.
Turning to local and overseas mission, donations of over £10,000 were raised for TearFund, Wycliffe Bible Translators, the Leprosy Mission, Hunsley Christian Youth Trust, and Crosslinks. In addition, just over £950 from collections at the Christmas services in 2019 was given to Tearfund and the Godfrey Robinson Home.
Collections at the small number of weddings and funerals raised funds totalling over £1,100 for the upkeep of the church, Cancer Research UK, British Heart Foundation, and North Ferriby Nursing Home
The PCC last reviewed its financial controls in September 2013; does not have a policy on paying staff; and is not aware of any serious incidents during the year and hence there were no such incidents that should have been brought to the attention of the Charity Commission but were not.
The PCC’s policy on reserves is that cash balances should be sufficient to cover cash flow requirements, any anticipated shortfall in budgeted income and a provision for emergencies.
At the end of the year the balances in unrestricted (general) and restricted accounts were £15,338 and £47,121 respectively; with the monthly expenditure in 2020 from these funds being £7,106 and £10,161 respectively. There is now only £7,105 in reserves.
The PCC considers that the total of these amounts, which exceed three months’ actual expenditure, are appropriate as a reserve.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ALL SAINTS, NORTH FERRIBY
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of Members of the Council and examiner
The charity's Members of the Council are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Members of the Council consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Freehold land is not depreciated Freehold buildings at cost over 50 years Parish Hall equipment at cost over 10 years
Consecrated property and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.9 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on a special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the churches' inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For the inalienable property acquired prior to 31st December 1980 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1st January 1991 have been capitalised and depreciated in the accounts as stated above.
1.5 Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at market value.
1.6 Accumulated funds
