INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on the following pages, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations') and s.144 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Respective Responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. The gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition, issued from the Finance Division of the Archbishops' Council. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

● to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and

●to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, and the Regulations have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Vicar's Report

This year has seen the return to normal activities and events for the church after Covid and the opportunity to reach out into the community with the love of Jesus. A mission weekend, Taste and See, was held in March, with an international quiz and guest speaker Warren Furman, Ace from the Gladiators television programme.

The PCC decided to make the Mission Action Plan priority, ‘Blessing those aged 0-25’ a focus for the year. Ties with local primary schools have been strengthened, with several assemblies led by St Barnabas staff and Big Kids and visits to the church. Both Linthorpe and Ayresome Schools had Christmas events in the church. The new weekday group for 7-11s, Explore, run with Big Kids has been established, meeting every fortnight during term time. In July there was a church weekend, with a family ceilidh in the church hall and a trip to Saltburn beach.

Middlesbrough Community Grocery opened in June, run in partnership with the Message Trust. Alongside the groceries (about 70 individual shopping visits a day), there have been courses on debt advice, healthy cooking, employment skills, peer support in men’s mental health, Alpha and the Exploring Hope course, as well as a Grocery Choir. In November a grocery café was opened in the church hall on a Thursday morning, to offer a warm and welcoming space to grocery members.

Hazel Murray continued as part-time student worker at Teesside University, with many students continuing to attend St Barnabas during the year, including many international students.

Seb Rab, worship pastor, left St Barnabas in May and Robin Harrison and Oli George were appointed as parttime worship pastors, with Kel Profitt as volunteer worship assistant.

To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June the church held a Platinum Jubilee Tea in the church, funded by a community grant from Middlesbrough Borough Council. On the death of the Queen in September, the church was open for private prayer and reflection and on the day of the funeral, the service was shown on the screen in church.

Financial Report

i. Unrestricted Funds

Our unrestricted funds (excluding designated funds and unrestricted fixed assets) showed a significant decrease in the year from a balance of £74,233 at the year start to a balance of £59,368 at the year end. This compares with a reserves target of £55,600, which represents 10 weeks' expenditure. The year end balance takes into account the £10,114 transferred from the Future Staffing Fund. The regular giving increased by nearly 5%, and the situation was helped by two legacies totalling over £20,000.

The expenditure on buildings (£58,000, excluding depreciation) was much higher than the recent average (about £31,000). This was mostly due to an unplanned replacement of the hall boiler at the end of the year. It was a complex job involving a lot of additional work and cost over £30,000. Staffing costs increased by 7%.

ii. Designated Funds

The Future Staffing fund was created to build up reserves to pay for new staff members. It originally held £20,114, half of which was used in 2021 and the remainder in 2022 to contribute towards the cost of the enlarged staff team.

The Toddler fund balance was cleared by transfer from the unrestricted fund and will now be closed.

The Development Fund (money from the sale of 64 Queen's Rd) remains at £41,570. It was not used during 2022, but is available for the development of the ministry of the church. It is anticipated that much of it will be used in 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/12/22

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the charity have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 2011. The PCC constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

Funds

Restricted Funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be extended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or the bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes by the PCC.

Income and Endowments

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate are received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan quota or parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for Mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and Beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. No Value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments are valued at market value at 31st December.

ST BARNABAS PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/12/22 (CONT.)

Grants payable without performance conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

Changes in Accounting policies and previous accounts

There has been no change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year, and no changes to the previous accounts.

Measurement of debtors and creditors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. The PCC has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

Revd Dr David Goodhew and Revd Lindsey Goodhew received expenses to cover routine expenditure as vicar and associate vicar. This includes phone, travel and small scale entertaining. Irregular/one-off expenses are claimed separately.

A Bolton is trustee of Big Kids; The PCC have a Service Level Agreement at £10,000/year in place with Big Kids, under which they organize events for children and families. The PCC also made a £1000 donation to Big Kids.

Revd L Goodhew is trustee of Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland; In 2021 they provided grants totalling £4276 to enable the church to run Feast of Fun, an initiative to relieve holiday hunger, where food and activities are distributed to families, particularly vulnerable families. At the end of the year £213 remained unspent, and this was returned to TMC in 2022. The PCC made a donation of £800 to TMC for core funding.

A donation of £3000 was received from the Lyndhurst Trust, of whom Revd L Goodhew is a trustee. This was specified to be for work with students and to assist children to attend the Criccieth CPAS camp.

14. RISK ASSESSMENT

The major risks to which the PCC is exposed have been reviewed and systems established to manage those risks. Risks are managed by the PCC and its sub committees, drawing on the expertise of other church members in such areas as building maintenance, health and safety and legal matters. The PCC has a policy on child protection, requiring all those involved in work with children to have DBS checks. Advice and further specialist expertise can be obtained from the diocese as required.

15. RESERVES POLICY

The reserves policy that at least 10 weeks' expenditure is needed for cash flow and contingency purposes remains unchanged. This is based on the church's size, the level of financial commitments, and the volatility in income and expenditure experienced in recent years. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

16. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

17. PENSION SCHEME

St Barnabas church participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of Church Workers Pension Fund for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the St Barnabas church and the other participating employers.

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections - a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. Both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer 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 liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2022: £1,235)

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 10.1% following improvements in the funding position over 2022. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, St Barnabas church could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.
