Finanelal Review We want lo begin by expressing (rthankS to all rneMbs of the church who contributed financially lo the ministy and mission of St Paul's in 2020. Your generosity is much appreciated. We are also grateful lo Paul Bosson, who is our Independent Examiner for this year. The purpose of this report is to highlight a few key issues from the 2020 xcount5 and give an indication of our expectations for 2021. In common with all churches arKI charitEs. the Coronavirus pandemic and the resultant lockdowns. which were brought in by the UK Government, have had. and are continuing to have, a significant impact on our financial position. In response to this.. Ihe PCC appointed Liz Cohen. a member of the standing committee and a chartered accountant, as assistant treasurer lo provide it wth addttional expertise an¢Y support and to step in for the treasurer, should they be unable to fulfil their role. the vicar, treasurer and assistant treasurer dosely monitor income and expenditure and report regularly to the standing committee and to the PCC. so thal they have appropriate and timely infomiation about the budget, projections and cash flow. the vicar and treasurer sought the advi and supporl of one of the Financial Advisers of the Diocese of London. Income This year has seen a 38.20/0 decrease in general {urKJesignated). unrestricted income on 2019 to £77.645. excluding income from legacies. Income from church members, via standing orders. donations and cash collections. decreased by 6.9QA and from grft aid by 8.8%. As a direct result of the Coronavirus pandemic and the 2ssocialed lockdowns. income from lellings, which was budgeted to provide 61 Qk of our unrestricted income. dedined by 60.2Qh lo £29,461, Even when we were allowed to re-open our premises, many hirers decided not to resume their activities or found that they could not operate within the number capac¥ty limits we had to introduce to ensure people's safety. Other things on which it is important to rewtt are: due lo the uncertain economic situation arising from the pandemic. the PCC decided thal rt would be inappropriate lo have the annual gfft day. However, in October, we did invite church members to review their giving to the chur¢h- e.g. to set up a standing order or. rf they already have one. to increase it 2020 Finan(xal RerKJrt 3of16
andlor to make a one-off donation. This dtd result in an IreaSe in some standing orders and a number of donations. unrestricted income from our Toddler group decreased by 79.5% to £518. At the outbreak of the pandemic in March. the group slopped meeting and did not resume again in 2020. unrestricted income from legacies dedined by 24.9¥0 to £27,234. we continue to benefit from Gtft AKI and the Grft Aid Small Donations Scheme, recovering around 92% of the potential Grft Aid available from HMRC. Overall, income is down on the previous year, reflecting the signrficant impact of the pandemic. especially with regard to lettings, income. enditure Unrestricted general {undesignated) expenditu shows a 38Yo (£47.5841 reduction on 2019. This reflects the need lo adjust expenditure in the light of the negative impact of the pandemic on our income and the decisions the PCC took in the Send hair of the year to safeguard the chanty's financial sustainability. In June, the vicar, treasurer and asskstanl treasurer reviewed our financial posttion and did some scenario forecasling for the rest of the year. In July. they submitted a set ol proposals lo the PCC which were reviewed and accepted. These included.. the suspension. lo the end of the year. of our monthly Common Fund contribution lo the London Diocesan Fund wth effect from 1st July. This reduced our unrestricted expendrture on Common Fund lo I £28,355 and led to a saving of £28.345. An additional one-off payment of £1.250 was made in December, bul this was covered by a restricted donation. deferring the appoinlment of a Children's & Families Communty Worker until 2021, a saving in 2020 of £11.899. making appropriate use of the Govemmenys Coronawrus job retention scheme in respect of fudoughing our Administrator & Premises Manager. This resulted in a saving in 2020 of £2,700. the importance of continuing wtth the Wam & Welcoming Space Projecl as a core element of our Mission Actron Plan and the use of legacy income for this purpose. keeping a light control on all areas of expenditure, including day to day maintenance. where we achieved a saving against budget of £6,650, arKI deaning. where we achieved a saving of £3,406. The decision to suspend our Common Fund Ixfyntribution Vfds done with the full knoedge and 5UPPOrt of the relevant member of the Diocesan finan team. This derysion was replicated by many parishes across the Diocese. In nearly all cases unrestricted expenditure was below budget expectations. In respect of Wodd Mission. our 10Q/o tithe on unrestricted income, was much less than normal due to the reduction in income and most of our commitments were funded by restricted donations of £4,122. The one area where we did spend more than budgeted {£5,3731 was on our Administrative & Communications Assistant, who worked a notable amount of overtime selling up and operating our online platfomis and social media accounts. as well as designing our new website. During the year, we continued to make use of Parish Buwng, the ChUh of England's natnal procurement service. Their suppliers offer very competitive pricing which enables us to make use of the national deals available to churches and so keep our costs under light control. Le aCS We have previously reported that, in January 2018. the executors managing the estate of a former member of the church, who died in 2017, notified the PCC of a substsnttal residual legacy under the terms of the deceased's will. In September 2018 we received an initial interrm payment of £120,000, in March 2019 a second interim payTnent of £36,000, in April 2020 a third interim paylment of £12.610 and in March 2021 a final payment of £438. The PCC has designated £168,610 of these pawnents towards the Wami & Wel(x)ming Space project. In May 2019, the executors managing the estate of a member of the church who died in April 2019 notified the PCC of a pecuniary legacy under the temis of the deceased's will. In February 2020, we received an interim payment of £13,750 and in January 2021 a final payment of £875. The PCC has designated all of this money 2020 FinanTral Rep)rt 4of16
towards the refurbishment of the toilets in the church building, a key comwnent of our Wami & Wdcoming Space Project. Reseryes 2020 produced a surplus, exduding legacies, of £165 on the unrestrled general fund. After including designated income and expenditure. there vras a deficit on the general funds of £2,569. However, the receipt of legacy income of £27,234 has led lo an increased Caled forward reserve in unrestricted funds of £294,427 (2019: £269,762). At present, the Church continues to have sufficient reserves to meet ils policy, but the position will continue lo be monitored carefully, especially in Ihe light of Covid19. The Future In preparing the 2021 budget, the PCC considered all available infomiation. including projections relating lo income and expenditure and cash flow slalements. We do not expect letting5' incotne to rern to ils normal level until at least 2022 and this will depend on a number of factors, induding the extent to which Covid19 is still an issue, Govemmenl guidance. the effectNeness of the Va¢¢bnation programme and public confidence. We have therefore taken a very cautious approach on incorne and plan lo keep tight control on day to day expenditure. At the same time. and in line with the objectives in our Mission Action Plan, we are contractually committed to investing legacy income in the installation of a new heating System (cost £92.276) in the church building, plan to inst211 new toilets lestimaled cost £SO,000} in the church building and intend to appoint a Children's & Families, Community Worker. Amidst the current uncertainties, the PCC continues to be mindful of the need to use wisely its reserves and to make decisions that ensure the church's financial vuqbility. Condusion Our 2021 budget has a deficit on unrestricted funds of £20.083. Our current end of year forecasl is for a deficit on unrestricted funds of £12.859 and this wll be covered by the surrlus general fund of £28,440. Our contractual commitment of £92.276 relating to the installation of the new heatirTrg system will add to the deficit bul will be covered by designated reserves from legacies. Similarly, rf we sign any contracts rdaling to the installation of new toilets in the church building. this will also add to the deficit but will be covered by designated reserves from legacies. The financial outcome for 2020 vras much better than expected. At the outset. we budgeted for an overall deficit on unrestricted general funds of £24,055. At the year*nd, we had an unrestricted surplus, excluding legacies, of £165, however, when including designated funds. this became a def(( of £2,569. The position for 2021 and 2022 is uncertain due to Covid19. but through God's grace. the support of our members and hirers, the inve5tmenl of legacy income in improving the church building, which is partly designed to increase lettings. income. and prudent financial management we are confident that we will be able to ensure our future financial sustainability.

Pensions Si Paul's Finchley PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by Ihe Church of England Pensions Board. which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. The Church Workers Pension Fund has a Section knovffl as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. Penslon Builder &heme 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 Classic provides a pension for members for payTrient from retirement, a¢¢umulated from contributions paid and converted into a defeffed annuity during employynenl base(l on terms sel and reviewed by the Church of England Pension5 Board from time to time. Dsscretionary increases may also be added. depending upon investment relurns and other factor5. Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump surn that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension Contributions are recorded in an acUnt for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The Ix)nuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirementfor the Board to grant any bonuse5. The account, plus any bonuses dedared, is payable from members, Normal Pension Age. There is no sub-division of assets belween employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is a considered to be 2 mulli*mployer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabi5ities to 5pecifi¢ employers and that contributions are accounted for as rf the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.
