ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PCC
For the year ended 31st December 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Background
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent and his ministerial colleagues in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Rev William Fairbairn is the incumbent vicar with responsibility for running the Parish. He is assisted in this task by the Associate Minister, licenced clergy and the lay minister and students from Trinity College, with additional support provided by the Church Wardens.
Summary of objects of the charity
The Redland Parish Church Parochial Church Council (the PCC) is here to, in co-operation with the clergy, promote the whole mission of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish of Redland and beyond. The PCC oversees the activities of Redland Church. It also has maintenance responsibility for the buildings owned by the PCC or held on its behalf
Explanation of the charity’s aims
As a church family and as individuals, Redland Parish Church seeks to offer worship worthy of the Living God. Through worship, prayer and the study of his word we seek to know God better and to be conformed to his purposes for our lives. In partnership with others we wish to promote the Christian faith by making his love known within the local community, within our city and nation, and throughout the world.
Main objectives of the year
Our main objectives for the year all relate to the furthering of our vision to go 'Deeper, Younger, Wider'. In addition to our general activities run to further this vision we had a specific focus on the following major projects:
-
Concluding the process of reviewing our service pattern. Launching the new pattern in a post Covid world whilst building on our current success with online Church.
-
Clarifying and discerning our vision and identity as a Church. Due to the inevitable challenges of the pandemic this is a continued priority from last year that has yet to be realised.
-
Evaluating our younger engagement and resourcing. This will include the consideration of a new staff post to invest in children’s and families’ work.
-
The safe return to a normal state of operations as a post Covid world emerges
-
Holding a review of our ministry support staffing following a vacancy in the team. Ensuring that appropriate resourcing is in place to ensure the flourishing of our ministry and mission.
-
Continuing to build upon the success of Alpha building it more into the culture and strategy of how we do church
Strategy for achieving the objectives
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC always have in mind the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Through our staff, volunteers and activities, our work seeks to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Regular public worship;
-
Sermons, courses and small groups;
-
Alpha – a course that creates an opportunity for anyone to engage with the Christian faith in an open and non-threatening
-
environment
-
Our weekly toddler group that seeks to provide a context for local parents to find community and connection.
-
The provision of a pre-school group with a supportive family ethos, though post year end the decision has been taken by the
-
PCC to close this pre-school at the end of the summer term 2022
-
J-Zone and the Zone, after school clubs for school years 3-6 and 7-9 respectively. These give a context for children to have
-
fun, make friends and learn about the Christian faith. It is open to all church members or not;
-
CYFA our youth club for those aged 14-18, This a context for fun, friendship and going deeper in following and knowing
-
Jesus. It is open to all church members or not;
-
Regular meetings of governance and leadership bodies with the church

-
Activities for senior citizens;
-
One off events such as our Carol Service that are open to the wider community and give an opportunity for people to

connect with God.
-
The provision of a church hall that local communities and groups can use;
-
Pastoral work; and
-
Supporting other organisations, individuals and charities in Bristol, the UK more widely and overseas.
Public Benefit Statement
The PCC takes its responsibilities as a charity very seriously. The church has always contributed a great deal to the community, and will strive to continue to do so. The review of activities undertaken in 2021 set out below describes some of the work that Redland Parish Church has undertaken over the last year.
The PCC seeks to be as inclusive as possible in its work, and strives to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our aim is to involve as many people as possible in both running and participating in events and activities, many of which are facilitated by volunteers. The worship, groups and activities are open to anyone within and outside the local community. The church halls are an important local resource, and are used by various groups and individuals not directly connected to the Church for their own activities and events.
While many regular church goers are very generous in their donations to the PCC, there is no requirement for anyone attending services to donate money to the church. Any charges levied for specific activities and events are kept as low as possible, and the PCC will always look to help where people are struggling to afford the cost.
Grant Making Policy : The PCC has forged strong links with a range of individuals and organisations. It supports the work of other churches and charitable organisations in Bristol, the UK and throughout the world to promote the Christian faith and to help the vulnerable and needy from all faiths and backgrounds. The main criterion for such support remains the fact that the individuals undertaking charitable work or charitable organisations supported have close links to the church or some of its individual members. Recommendations for support are made by the Partnership Committee and approved by the PCC as the Trustee body. However, there are no other organisations that specifically assist us in meeting our objectives except the Diocese of Bristol and the diocesan staff together with financial assistance from the Redland Chapel Trust.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the year for 2021
2021 has been a mixed year. There have been some real highlights. However, it was again a challenging year organisationally and for all who are part of our Church. The covid pandemic has remained a factor throughout. The year began in lockdown but thankfully restrictions have lessened across the year and there has been no subsequent total lockdown. This has meant continuing to operate within, at times, significant and constantly evolving restrictions. This has brought inevitable challenges but has also seen some real positives. Some notable highlights:
-
We have evolved our online offering from a pre-recorded model to a livestream that after, a significant period of technical
-
difficulties is now working consistently.
-
We have moved slowly back towards comparatively normal Sunday gatherings as restrictions have eased.
-
After a long process of discussion, we launched into a new pattern of worship services at 10:30am and 4pm. These have
-
begun to find their feet and people have begun to work out where they best fit giving us lots to build upon in 2022.
-
We have seen a number of new people join the church both young and old alike.
-
We managed to run Christmas celebrations, open to the community, for the first time since the start of the pandemic. These
-
were well attended whilst maintaining safe numbers.
-
Small groups and hubs have continued many meeting again in person for the first time.
-
In a time when many church youth groups have closed, we have sustained and continued a strong youth group for 14–18-
-
year-olds as well as successfully relaunching both of our after-school clubs for younger children and youth.
-
Our Mission Gift Day raised £31,102 for local and global causes and our Christmas appeal generated £1,566 for the Bristol
-
Charity Sixty-One (who work in prisons and with ex-offenders) and the national charity Home for Good (who work encouraging and supporting fostering and adoption)
-
Our Midweek service has continued to be a strength, meeting weekly online and even managing to hold a in person
-
Christmas celebration.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF REDLAND PARISH CHURCH
-
We have completed the majority of a long process of discerning, clarifying and codifying a new vision. (Due to complete
-
early 2022)
-
We shaped and advertised for a new staff role to make a significant investment in children and families’ work. We haven’t
-
appointed and will readvertise in the first half of 2022.
-
We conducted a review of our ministry support staffing following a vacancy. This concluded with the evolution of the existing
-
role of office manager into a new post of Head of Administration. This generated cost savings that we were able to use to fund the children and families’ post. We also successfully reappointed an assistant administrator following a vacancy.
-
Our hall hirings that all but completely stopped in the initial lockdowns have restarted and we are near capacity in terms of
-
what we are able to let out.
-
We have made a commitment to run Alpha at least annually and have begun to explore how we might run it more frequently
-
making it a core part of our culture and strategy.
Impact of Covid 19 and control measures adopted
The coronavirus pandemic has continued to affect us considerably in 2021. The year began in lockdown with services running online until Easter and most other activities moved online or had to be paused. From Easter onwards we have returned to in person gatherings and have moved to livestreaming worship services from the building. With the relaxation and retightening of restrictions we have had to be flexible altering how we met and what we could do accordingly. In contrast to last year the latter half of the year enabled us to restart most activities in a more typical fashion. Through the year we have continually reforecasted our budget making adjustments to ensure financial stability in the light of the known reductions in income (such as loss of hall revenue and reduction in church fees and service collections) and steps were taken immediately to reduce and control expenditure. In financial terms at the year end, the church remains in a reasonably healthy position. The Parish Share has been paid to the diocese in full and the repayment of amounts due under loans taken to build our new hall have also been met in full. The church continued to be assisted by utilising the Government's furlough scheme for those members of staff who were eligible to benefit. As the accounts show we ended the year with a slight deficit. Given the year, the worldwide picture and the state of our reserves the Trustees are encouraged by the state of our bottom line. As a result, the Trustees do not have any major concerns about the ongoing financial sustainability of the charity. 2022 brings the lifting of all restrictions. This is likely to be a year of adjustment with many still not feeling able to come to in person events. Whilst the restrictions have lifted the effects of the pandemic will remain and affect us, albeit to a lesser extent in 2022.
The Accounts
Having set out some of the activities of the charity during 2021, we would like to thank again those who have played a part in drawing together our accounts: Jane Vause, our Treasurer; and Wendy Horsfield, our Bookkeeper.
The overwhelming majority of our financial resources are provided through the sacrificial giving of members of our congregation – once again we trust that these gifts will change the lives of countless people in our own community, our city and Diocese and much further afield.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The PCC has a duty to ensure accounts are prepared and independently examined, to approve the accounts and present them to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM).
The outturn for 2021 in respect of unrestricted income shows a headline deficit of £20,735. However this includes a depreciation charge of £3,215 and after taking account of accounting adjustments there is in cash terms a smaller deficit of expenditure over income of £17,520. This compares to a headline surplus in 2020 of £13,289. Given the continued impact of Covid-19 on the finances this year, this is a satisfactory outcome.
The income received to assist in repayment of the loans taken out to cover expenditure on the re:new project to develop our church halls amounted to £77,255 (2020: £62,886) and is shown as part of the restricted income total, as all such receipts were used to pay down the loans. Additionally, the church received some restricted gifts for charitable organisations for purposes as set out in the accounts.
Page 4
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF REDLAND PARISH CHURCH
Regular unrestricted giving was £289,167 (2020: £291,612), with a further £612 raised from collections (2020: £4,962). The 2021 total for regular giving is broadly in line with donations received in 2020, and reflects the ongoing generosity of our regular donors. The drop in collections is largely a result of COVID restrictions which impacted our ability to hold in-person services for much of the year. The additional (restricted) gifts still being made to our re:new project also come from members of the congregation. The church's Gift Day raised a £29,341 (2020: £34,185) and the Mission Gift Day raised £31,102 (2020: £35,546). As COVID restrictions eased during the year, income from church hall rentals became increasingly buoyant, achieving an income of £28,428 (2020: £20,234). Interest from deposits and investments was negligible, i.e. £27 (2020: £216), because of only holding funds as a reserve and because of the collapse in the interest rates receivable. Our total unrestricted income was £396,446(2020: £452,007).
The TUPE transfer of operations from Redland Education Centre to Encounter Christianity took effect on 31 March 2021. In 2022, Redland Parish Church continues to offer support, both financially and in the provision of office space, to Encounter Christianity as it builds support from funding bodies and from other churches across the city.
On the expenditure side, we met our budgeted Parish Share of £140,000 (2020: £140,000). Staff salaries amounted to £137,663 (2020: £187,132). Employer’s pension contributions reduced to £2,435 (2020: £3,441). The impacts of Covid on Lantern Preschool were significant, and the Preschool was unable to operate normally for much of the year.Despite action being taken to mitigate the effects of this, Lantern expenditure exceeded its income by £7,635.
Overall expenditure was regularly reassessed throughout the year as the impact of Covid 19 continued to be felt, and significant savings in a number of areas were made during the course of the year (see Notes to the Financial Statements for details). This impacted mission and charitable giving, in that giving from unrestricted funds reduced to £50,948 (2020: £54,790), and giving in restricted funds reduced to £35,042 (2020: £68,932). A significant proportion of the reduction in restricted giving was due to Encounter Christianity being divested from Redland Parish Church. Expenditure on ministry was reduced to £101,887 (2020: £116,867). Expenditure on estates increased to £50,540 (2020: £42,809), largely due to unforeseen maintenance being required. Savings were also found in ministry support (management and administration) which amounted to £73,806 (2020: £87,022). Total unrestricted expenditure was £417,181 (2020: £438,718).
Including restricted funds received, we spent £85,990 (2020: £120,952) in meeting the needs of our mission partners in the UK and abroad. This included £31,102 (2020: £35,546) received for the Mission Gift Day. The home and overseas partnership budgets form part of the main budget; Mission Gift Day proceeds count as restricted funds for specified projects, some of which was allocated for, and to supplement support for, our mission partners.
It remains our policy to invest our funds and balance not required for working capital purposes with CCLA Investment Management. Due to the fall in interest rates, a decision was taken to close the Skipton Building Society account and the balance was temporarily transferred into our CAF Bank account. As at 31 December 2021, the church had total bank and deposit balances of £163,178 (2020: £181,471). Loans outstanding on 31 December 2021 amounted to £182,975 (2020: £262,975). These loans are due to the Diocese of Bristol (£100,000), Methodist Chapel Aid Ltd (£24,975) and to a number of individuals who gave interest free loans (£58,000). Funds for our re:new building project are still being received on a regular basis and the loans are gradually being paid down.
Reserves policy : Reserves are held by the Church to provide for future activities and initiatives which cannot be funded from income in a single year. Reserves are also required to cover unforeseen expenditure. The current agreed policy is to hold a minimum level of undesignated reserves equivalent to about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure, which is currently £104,295 (2021: £109,679). As at 31 December 2021, the church held in cash and short term deposits the sum of £163,178, well in excess of the minimum. The PCC reviewed the level of reserves and concluded that the current minimum level of reserves is adequate to support current activities and to cover known risks. At year end, the level of short term (excluding creditors due > 1 year) undesignated (i.e. free) reserves held by the PCC was £83,993 (2020: £104,235). The Trustees do not consider, in the light of the financial results this year, that there will be any impact from Covid-19 on the reserves policy adopted and see no need for change in 2022.
In addition to our general reserves a total of £9,620 (2020: £6,881) was held in restricted reserves at the end of 2021. The notes to the accounts contain further details of amounts held in each of the restricted reserves, and also the purpose of those restricted funds where there was movement during the year in excess of £5,000.
In accounting for our income and expenditure we comply with the requirements of best practice in charity accounting, and also with the requirements of the Charity Commission.

The management of the church's finances is a team effort, and Jane Vause, the Treasurer, would especially wish to thank all those who have supported her throughout the year, in particular David Clarke, Wendy Horsfield, Richard Bacon and Caroline Dunn, each of whom have made a significant contribution to keeping on top of the workload and helping with advice and guidance as Jane has settled into the role. David has continued to manage the Re:new loan repayments as well as providing ad hoc support at various times. During the year Caroline handed over many of the tasks associated with receipt of money to Wendy, but has also continued to provide Wendy and Jane with ongoing support, including depositing cash and cheques received by the church. Both David and Caroline have given the church many years of conscientious and faithful service in stewarding our finances. Although they have both stepped back in the past year, they have continued to make themselves available in many ways. Wendy is our bookkeeper, who goes above and beyond the requirements of her role to keep the church finances in good order, such as preparing these figures in the annual report for examination and put in many extra hours when needed. Richard Bacon is a source of very helpful expert advice, when required. Jane is extremely grateful to all of them who have done so much to help her exercise her duties.
Despite the challenges brought about by the Covid pandemic, the life of the church remains active, and there are many encouraging signs of our work continuing to flourish as we are able to open up to meet in person again. With careful financial management, we have been able to mitigate a number of the impacts of the past couple of years. The Trustees continue to have confidence in the future finances of the church and believe that we are in a relatively strong position to support the further development of our vision and associated ministry, whilst continuing to repay the outstanding borrowings. However, as with all organisations dependent upon voluntary giving, it remains heavily dependent upon continued regular giving by its members.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The vision at Redland Parish Church can be summed in using three words: Deeper, Younger and Wider. We want to go deeper in our love for God, not staying where we currently are. We want to go younger in our engagement. Currently we are very successful at engaging those of older generations but our engagement with those aged 18-40 is almost non-existent. We need to grow this aspect of our ministry. We also want to continue to go wider in being a Church that is a blessing and resource to the local community, the city and the wider Church in Bristol.
-
Completing the discernment process clarifying vision and direction for us as a Church
-
Reflecting across 2022 on how that vision impacts and directs our ministry in two key areas: small groups and partnerships/social and community engagement, with a view to implementing changes where necessary.
-
Appoint a kids and families pastor and continue to develop our ministry in this area both in terms of discipleship and outreach.
-
Review how we use our buildings in line with our vision.
-
Decide on a permanent venue for the 4pm service.
-
Explore how we can better resource our digital engagement including how we might resource a social media presence.
GOVERNANCE
Governing Constitution or Document
The PCC is governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956) and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
Recruitment of Trustees
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), the two churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. In addition, ordained clergy who are licensed to the parish are ex officio members of the PCC, as are the elected representatives to Deanery Synod and representatives from the Parish who are Diocesan Synod members. All those who attend our services and are members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll. All such persons may stand for election to the PCC. Nominations are called for, and persons voted for, at an Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM).
Use of volunteers
Page 6
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF REDLAND PARISH CHURCH
The PCC employs a number of staff (mostly part-time) but also makes significant use of volunteers to carry out its work. Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the work, including ministry, youth work, education, facilities management and finance and administration.
Policies for induction and training
All staff receive an introduction to the charity, allowing them to develop a good understanding of the requirements of the role and to settle in with confidence. All staff are given appropriate opportunities for developing their skills and knowledge to carry out their role effectively and this is reviewed in Annual Appraisals.
Organisational Structure
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met six times during the year. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has a number of committees or groups which meet between full meetings of the PCC, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life, as detailed below. We have no need for a remuneration committee as the paid clergy are paid on the pay scales as set by the Diocese while the Treasurer, in consultation with the Standing Committee of the PCC, has oversight of the salaries of employees of the church. Of these, only the Associate Minister, remunerated on clergy scales, has a senior management function.
Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings.
Ministry Oversight Groups: Each is led by an individual who is either part of, or reporting to, the PCC. The groups are: Partnerships; Lantern Preschool Management Committee: Attends to all matters relating to the management of the Lantern Preschool; Redland Educational Centre Management Committee: Oversight of the work of REC (discontinued on 31 March 2021)
Core Team- The core team is a group for the Vicar to consult and discern collaboratively with on matters of vision and high-level strategy. This group has no formal executive of its own and helps shape the decisions of the vicar as well as making recommendations to the PCC.
Management Team- This is a small subset of our wider staff team who meet weekly to decide on issues pertaining to the day to day running of the Church and its ministry.
Risk Management
On at least an annual basis the PCC considers and discusses the key risks facing the Church, the controls in place to mitigate them and any action required. Financial Risk is regularly assessed by the Standing Committee.
The PCC takes the issue of safeguarding seriously. All Trustees are required to complete safeguarding training. We aim to fully comply with all legal requirements and diocesan best practice having paid due regard to the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy and Guidance. During the year, DBS enhanced certificates have continued to be renewed and applied for as required. Safeguarding training has continued online and we continue to seek to improve response from volunteers. We have drafted a policy on social media, texting and online activities.
The financial risks in connection with our new hall development have been mitigated as the project has been completed and most of the costs raised. The repayment of the borrowings over a period of 10 years from 2016 is considered manageable and the total outstanding has reduced to £182,975 at the end of the financial year (2020: £262,975). Our principal risk is unchanged, namely a reduction in regular giving especially as our income relies upon the continued generosity of committed members of the church.
The PCC is not dependent upon grants to take forward its work. Small amounts of grants were received during the year from the Redland Chapel Trust for insurance and repairs to the chapel as well as a contribution towards the salary of a Kids and Families Pastor. The PCC is very grateful for this support.

D. Cashflow Restrictions
Charity law prohibits the use of net cash inflows on any endowed or other restricted fund to offset net cash outflows on any fund outside its own Objects, except on special authority. In practice, this restriction has not had any effect on cashflows for the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. No material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern, despite the significant uncertainty being caused by the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. Whilst the Trustees expect there to be a significant impact on the charity's operations and reserves in the coming months, the charity has sufficient reserves to be able to meet these challenges.
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 those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions are provided in note 13.
Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
INCOME
Donations - Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is probable. Funds raised by events, such as Chat-a-Box and Church weekends away, are accounted for gross. Sales of sundry items such as books are accounted for gross.
EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. All costs have been directly attributable to one of the functional categories of resources used in the SOFA. The Church is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT.
Grants and other charitable giving are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded and communicated to the recipient, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The Parish Share is accounted for when payable. Any Share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as a constructive obligation (though not a legal liability) and is shown as a creditor in the Balance sheet.
Governance costs include the cost of the Independent Examination of the financial statements, the cost of Trustees meetings and of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. They have been included within support costs.
FIXED ASSETS
Freehold Land and Buildings
The church hall complex is shown at the open market value for the existing use. This was professionally valued at £800,000 in the 2017 year. Property is held in the accounts at valuation and depreciated at nil depreciation. Property is revalued every five years, however trustees review the property annually for impairment and to assess if the value held is considered materially different to market value.
Redland Chapel was not valued or capitalised as the SORP permitted exclusion for inalienable and historic assets where reliable cost information and conventional valuation approaches lack sufficient reliability. Consecrated and benefice property is also excluded from the accounts by s10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. Accordingly, all expenditure incurred during the year on inalienable and historic buildings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church's inventory, which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated as necessary.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Furniture, Fittings and Equipment
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 (for a single item or group of interdependent items) are being capitalised at cost including acquisition costs.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off cost on a straight-line basis over expected useful economic lives as follows, subject to annual review:
Freehold land Nil (considered to have an indefinitely long useful life) Freehold buildings Nil - see above Furniture, fittings & equipment 4 years
Investments
Investments are included at market value at 31st December. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals during the year.
CURRENT ASSETS
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove un-collectable. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
LIABILITIES
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
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 discounts due.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both the current and future periods.
