## **EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC** 

## **REPORT OF THE PCC FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **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, Reader, Churchwarden and Treasurer; 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 Churchwarden: Mrs Linda Dewing. 

## _**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 accidents. 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 last reviewed in 2021 and put into place. Online training for volunteers has been completed. A copy of the most recent updated policy is available upon request. 

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 2023** 

## **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 2023 included the following: 

- = Continue to build on relationships made with the uniformed organisations; 

- = Continue to develop links made with Larkfield, Marshside and Stanley Schools; 

- = Ensuring safeguarding training and DBS checks are constantly reviewed; 

- = Emmanuel Sunbeams to progress to opening; 

- = Resume a House Group Bible Study; 

- = Restart the Prayer Group; 

- = Celebrate the Coronation with outreach in the form of a cream tea for those in the parish; = Celebrate 125 years of Emmanuel – memorabilia displayed in Church over the weekend followed by a special service and buffet lunch; and 

- = Continue to explore opportunities for mission and outreach events. 

In 2023 we achieved: 

- = Relationships have progressed with all uniformed organisations. Stewart has assisted the Scout group in achieving their mechanics badge. We will continue to cement the progress made to ensure a Parade Service once a month; 

- = Stewart continues to hold assemblies at Larkfield School and as well as Larkfield coming into Church for their Carol Concert, Stewart is in discussion that they hold Harvest Festival in Church. Stewart will continue to progress links into Marshside, Stanley and Prestfield Schools; 

- = All safeguarding training and DBS checks are up to date; = Emmanuel Sunbeams will be launched in 2024; 

- = House Group Bible Study is carried over to 2024; 

- = Prayer Group has been and will continue to meet every Thursday at 4pm in Church; 

- = Cream Tea was successfully held for 64 folks from the Parish to celebrate the King’s Coronation. This was followed by a celebratory service on the following Sunday; 

- = The buffet lunch and celebration for 125 years of Emmanuel life was very successful; and = We continue to explore opportunities for mission and outreach events.

## **EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC** 

**REPORT OF THE PCC (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **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 2024. 

## **The electoral roll** 

There were 73 (2022 - 90) names on the electoral roll for this year. 

## **Worship** 

The average weekly attendance was 45. Midweek Communion average attendance was 7. Messy Church continued monthly with 6 children and 16 adults but stopped for a break in October. Easter saw 19 at the Maundy Thursday Service and 38 adults on Good Friday. 88 adults and 1 child attended on Easter Sunday. On Easter Saturday we had 21 adults and 18 children at the Easter extravaganza. There were 51 people in attendance at the Midnight Communion service on Christmas Eve. During the year Emmanuel held 16 Baptisms, 4 Weddings and 5 funerals in church. There were 4 funerals held at the Crematorium and 7 burial of ashes in the Garden of Remembrance. 

## **Pastoral care and service to our community** 

Rev Stewart McTaggart has visited parishioners and provided Pastoral care and support this year, particularly as members of our congregation have found it necessary to enter nursing homes. 

Holiday club did take place in 2023 with 46 children attending. Messy Church continued monthly with a short break of 3 months at the end of the year. 

Once again, we hosted Larkfield annual Christmas Carol Service with over 1,400 children and adults attending. 

The Mother’s Union has not yet resumed. However, the Prayer Group have been meeting every Thursday at 4pm and the Bowling Club are back to their regular meetings. 

## **Youth and Children's Work** 

The Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies and Guides continue to meet. Rev Stewart McTaggart has visited the uniformed organisations, developing our links with them. The uniformed organisations have taken part in services and were involved with the Christmas Fair. 

## **Other Activities** 

We hosted 3 events for Southport Orchestra during 2023. A successful Christmas Fair was held at the end of November.

## **EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC** 

## **REPORT OF THE PCC (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE including review of charitable objectives - continued** 

## **Church Buildings** 

General maintenance has been carried out to the church and halls as required including new boiler in the hall. 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 2023 show income of £82,147 compared to £342,937 in 2023. The large increase last year was due to an unexpected one off legacy of £253,334. By removing this then underlying income has dropped by about £7,000 which represents a drop in over £11,000 from planned giving softened by an increse in other revenue streams in the year by about £4,000. 

Total expenditure in the year was £192,068 compared to £190,709 in 2022. This remained higher than the income received in the year as we spent a further £75,000 on the new boiler from the money given as a legacy in the prior year. 

The investments in the endowment funds continue to be managed by CCLA and showed an increase in 2023 of around £21,000 despite a decrease last year of around £31,000. The original legacy of £110,000 has now increased in value to £249,684 and produces a yield of around 3% per year for maintenance of the church activities. 

Our budget for 2024 generally maintains the previous years levels and shows planned expenditure of £111,000 including £65,000 for parish share. Anticipated income of £78,000 is more optimistic given that the worst of the pandemic is behind us although the current economic climate is still uncertain and income has reduced from some regular givers in prior years for various reasons. We expect an operational deficit of £33,000 which will have to come from our reserves that have accumulated due to the legacies received in prior years.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 15 is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations  2006 ('the Regulations') and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

## **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: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under 

- section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **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: 

- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the PCC have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or 

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

## **EMMANUEL PARISH CHURCH PCC** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **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 in surplus by £34,455 (2022 - £144,222) excluding designated funds. The decrease in the year was due to the generous legacy received last year being spent on property repairs. Reserves are now back to expected levels but unless the ongoing deficit can be reversed it is likely that the designated funds would need to be reduced in the coming years to fund this.

## **4 STAFF COSTS** 

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.
