EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC

REPORT OF THE PCC FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE

Emmanuel Parish Church PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956. We are a registered charity with charity number 1131223.

Appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All members of the Church are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. The PCC has three subcommittees: the Standing Committee, which consists of the Incumbent, one Reader, two Churchwardens, Treasurer, Chair of Finance and secretary; Finance Committee; and Fabric Committee. Ad hoc committees are convened as and when required.

Day to day management of the Church is exercised by the vicar in conjunction with the standing committee of the PCC which includes the Churchwardens: Mrs Linda Dewing and Mrs June Redman.

Risk Assessments

To identify the major risks the PCC undertake a risk assessment. Procedures are then put in place to manage those risks and minimise their impact on the life of the church. The main areas are set out below:

Financial Risk

An annual budget is prepared and monitored against actual performance. The Finance committee reviews the results on a regular basis and provides reports to each meeting of the PCC. The church’s investments are also reviewed annually, and whenever reports from the diocesan fund managers are received. A report is then provided by the Finance committee to the PCC. Investments are made only in funds approved by the diocese and managed by CCLA Investment Management Ltd specifically for charities. Buildings and tangible assets are insured and levels regularly reviewed. A system of internal control has been approved by the PCC to cover cash handling, payments and bank transfers, and this system is kept under regular review.

Health and Safety

Reviews are undertaken regularly by a member of the church. The PCC are informed of any risks and any action that has been taken. Procedures are in place for recording incidents. The procedures are reported annually to the PCC.

Safeguarding

PCC members and those working with children or vulnerable adults are checked, registered and trained in accordance with the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. The policy was due to be reviewed in April 2020. This has not taken place due to the coronavirus pandemic, but will be reviewed in the coming year. A copy of the most recent updated policy is included in this report.

Formal risk assessments are recorded in the PCC's Risk Register and reviewed annually. The Risk Register is kept with the Accident Recording book in the Churchwardens' office.

REPORT OF THE PCC (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

OBJECTIVES AND AIMS

The PCC (Powers) measure 1956 states "the PCC is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical."

Membership of the PCC also involves the acceptance of the responsibilities laid down in the Synodical Government Measure 1969 relating to PCCs and the other legal responsibilities involved.

The PCC has given consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular to he specific guidance to charities concerned with the advancement of religion. Our objectives in the year were to provide the following public benefits:

Our mission is to bring God into people's lives; our purpose here is to serve Jesus Christ.

Our objectives for the year included the following:

REPORT OF THE PCC (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE including review of charitable objectives

We aimed to achieve all the objectives set out, however some of these are ongoing and some will be addressed in the course of 2022. The Coronavirus pandemic continued to have an effect on the church for a large part of 2021.

The electoral roll

There were 91 (2020 - 109) names on the electoral roll for this year.

Worship

During 2021 we had further lockdowns and restrictions on worship due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, we were able to provide online services during these times. These online services were viewed by approximately 28 people each week. When church was open we had one Sunday service at 10.30am. The average attendance at these services was 40.

During the season of Advent, we had 176 over 16’s attending and 5 under 16’s. There were 27 communicants at the 11pm Christmas Eve Service. The Christmas Day service was held online. Messy Church congregation have not been able to meet since March 2020 due to restrictions of numbers allowed to meet in an indoor space. There has been contact with the Messy Church congregation once a month via e-mail.

During 2020 occasional offices were welcomed with 3 baptisms, 1 wedding and 15 funerals including those of church members, from the parish and at the crematorium and 1 interred in the Garden of Remembrance.

Pastoral care and service to our community

Holy Communion and visits to the housebound by our dedicated pastoral team were not able to resume in 2021, as were visits to local nursing homes. Rev Stewart McTaggart has visited parishioners and provided Pastoral care and support this year.

Holiday club did not take place this year due to the Pandemic but is planned to take place in August 2022. Messy Church resumed in September 2021.

The Mother’s Union, Prayer Group, Bible Study have not resumed as yet, but the Bowling Club have been able to meet this year.

The Leadership team of Emmanuel continued to phone members of the church on a weekly basis during times of lockdown and restrictions. Weekly phone calls to a smaller group continued weekly to those who were isolating, shielding or housebound.

REPORT OF THE PCC (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Youth and Children's Work

The Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies and Guides were able to meet in person again in the later part of 2021. Rev Stewart McTaggart has visited the uniformed organisations, developing our links with them.

As previously mentioned, the Children’s Holiday Club was unable to go ahead this year. Leaders look forward to holding the Holiday Club once again in the Summer of 2022.

Messy Church congregation have been having monthly services since September 2021.

Other Activities

We look forward to hosting concerts, recitals and welcoming visitors to our beautiful church as soon as it is safe to do so.

Church Buildings

General maintenance has been carried out to the church and halls as required. The grounds have continued to be maintained by a willing group of volunteers and we are continuing to pay a gardener to help volunteers with this task.

The church is in general good order. The terrier and inventory have been maintained and all goods and chattels remain in place.

FINANCE, GIVING, FUNDRAISING, FINANCIAL REVIEW AND INVESTMENTS

The accounts for 2021 show income of £103,314 compared to £79,080 in 2020. Ordinary weekly giving was a touch above £43,000 compared to nearly £28,000 in 2020 which is a good result given that the church was closed for 6 months of the previous year due to the Covid pandemic and is starting to return to previous levels.

The pandemic also resulted in continued reduced income from church events, weddings and the halls of nearly £20,000 on pre-pandemic amounts. Legacies amounted to £20,000 compared to £730 in 2020.

Total expenditure was £115,580 compared to £143,285 in 2020. As well as £63,111 paid in parish share for clergy across the Diocese we spent £23,652 on the church building.

The investments in the endowment funds continue to be managed by CCLA and showed a further increase in 2021 of almost £28,000 due to growth in the stock market. The original legacy of £110,000 has now increased in value to £260,222 and produces a yield of around 3% for maintenance of the church activities.

Our budget for 2022 maintains the previous years levels and shows planned expenditure of £105,500 including £65,000 for parish share. Anticipated income of £94,500 is more optimistic given that the worst of the pandemic is behind us although the current economic climate is still uncertain. We expect a deficit of £11,000 which will have to come from our mission fund reserves.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

The members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC 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 the PCC 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 the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 R of I (FRS 102) as amended.

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and the 2008 accounting and reporting regulations based on the current version of the Charities SORP (FRS102). Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated. The financial statements include all transactions assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Funds

Endowment Funds are funds the capital of which cannot be used but the income can be used for general purposes.

Restricted Funds represent donations or grants received for a specific purpose and can only be used for that purpose. Any balance left is carried forward in that fund. The funds are not separately invested and interest received is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. Designated Funds represent grants or donations to general funds which have been subsequently designated by the PCC for specific purposes and can be undesignated back to general funds at a later date by the PCC.

Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can be used for the ordinary purposes of the church. Funds not immediately required are invested on short term deposit with CCLA deposit funds.

Income and endowments

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the specified amount and where appropriate treated as restricted funds. Dividends are accounted for when receivable and interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All income is accounted for gross without deducting related expenditure. Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income at open market value when the charity has control over the item. General volunteer time is not recognised.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid or when awarded by the PCC. Parish share is accounted for when due. Donations for mission, wedding and funeral fees for occasional offices and expenditure out of restricted grants and donations are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross without deducting related income.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10 (10)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property listed in the church's inventory. Anything purchased or donated after 2005 costing or valued over £1,000 will be shown in the accounts as furnishings. Equipment used within the church premises and halls is depreciated over four years but items costing or valued at less than £1,000 are written off in the year of acquisition. Land at Radnor Drive has been included at an estimated value of £1,000 as no historic cost information is available. Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Reserves

The PCC is encouraged to hold reserves to meet regular anticipated expenses for three months which would amount to around £30,000. At present the free general reserves are overdrawn by £7,988 (2020 £4,239 in credit) excluding designated funds and it is therefore necessary to use part of the designated mission fund to cover the deficit whilst progress is made towards increasing regular giving through the Giving in Grace programme and other initiatives over the next few years.

During the year the PCC engaged an organist and verger for church and cleaners for the halls who received fees for performances under a contract for services not under a contract of employment. Gardening and cleaning services were provided for church buildings on a voluntary basis. No payments other than for minor expenses were paid to PCC members or their families. A small portion of the expenses paid to the incumbent may have related to their services as chair of the PCC.
