**ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, HEADINGTON**
The Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for 2022
This Report is presented in accordance with _Church Representation Rules_ 2011, para.9 (a), which specifies: ‘A report on the proceedings of the parochial church council and the activities of the parish generally’. It also meets the needs of the Charities Act.
It was prepared by the undernamed officers and approved by the PCC at its meeting on 27[th] March 2023, in advance of the 2023 Annual Parochial Church Meeting.
## **Aim and Purposes**
St Andrew’s Headington Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Darren McFarland, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church of England, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Andrew’s Church, Old Headington, Oxford.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St Andrew’s. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Missionary and outreach work.
- To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of St Andrew’s Church, including its Church Room.
A portion of funds are designated in the Accounts, to cover specific activities, as follow:
- House for a curate
- Altar Fund
- Fabric Fund
- Organ Fund
It is the policy of the PCC to give donations to 12 charities each year, for a 4-year period. The charities are a mix of UK and international, and are decided by the Missions Committee, alongside suggestions from members of the congregation. The annual amount available is decided by the PCC.
Volunteers play an important role in the following charitable activities of the PCC:
- Members of the Missions Committee
- Helpers for Little Fishes pre-school group
- Hosts for ‘Tea on Monday’ and Knit & Natter
- First Responders
- Hospitality
- Flower arrangers
Annual PCC report for St Andrew’s, Headington Page 2 of 7
- Food Bank and Harvest food deliveries
- Young Church
- Ecumenical events
- Choir
- Servers
And for the following fund-generating activities:
- Investment sub-committee
- Organising concerts
- Parish magazine advertising and production
## **Achievements and Performance**
The remaining COVID 19 restrictions were lifted during 2022. The chalice and the physical sharing of the Peace were restored on Maundy Thursday. Sunday attendance has not returned to its pre-pandemic level.
The Palm Sunday procession, foot washing, Stations of the Cross, and Veneration of the Cross were all restored in 2022.
## **Worship and Prayer:**
The PCC and clergy work to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, morning and evening prayer provide a quiet, intimate and reflective environment for daily worship, while school services at Harvest Festival, Christmas and Easter maintain links with St Andrew’s School pupils and parents.
In addition to the Sunday Eucharists (8 a.m. BCP, 10 a.m. Common Worship), there are Eucharists on Monday and Wednesday mornings and on Thursday evenings. There is an additional Sung Eucharist on week day Festivals.
The offices of Morning and Evening Prayer are said daily except on Saturdays and Sundays.
The remembrance service (introduced in 2015) on the Sunday afternoon closest to All Souls’ Day strengthens the pastoral and liturgical relationship with funeral families.
Publicity for these services includes targeted mailshots using the Contacts database which is GDPR compliant.
Following the electoral roll revision there are 91 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. The average Sunday attendance (counted during October 2022) was 65 (5 for weekday masses).
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and to thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. During 2022 we have celebrated 10 baptisms (all children), 1 thanksgiving for the birth of a child, 5 weddings and 27 funerals (17 of which were held in church). 7 sets of cremated remains were interred in the churchyard.
On 26[th] June 2022 Fr Luke Norman was ordained priest at the Church of St Mary Magdalen, Oxford and presided at his First Mass on 2[nd] July. Fr Darren McFarland celebrated his Silver Jubilee of priesting on 29[th] June 2022.
The Revd Canon Dr Jennifer Strawbridge continued as an associate priest at St Andrew’s in a NSM capacity.

## **Safeguarding:**
The DBS process is administered by the Safeguarding Officer.
The PCC has complied with the duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops' Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance. The website is compliant and the PCC reviewed and adopted the safeguarding policy on 7[th] February 2022.
Safeguarding is a standing item on the PCC agenda.
## **Deanery Synod:**
Two members of the PCC are lay representatives on the Cowley Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
## **Church building (fabric):**
The garden and churchyard continues to be well-maintained by our team of volunteers, aided by the grass-mowing by Oxford City Council. The ecological benefit of the churchyard continues to be developed. A number of tombstones are in need of repair. The preaching cross in the churchyard is an ongoing concern and the architect is aware. The source of water damage to a roof beam in the north aisle remains unclear and under investigation. Birds on the tower remains as a concern.
Quinquennial Inspection took place in October 2020 and urgent items have been addressed.
## **Use of the Church buildings:**
In addition to regular church services and weddings, baptisms and funerals, the PCC encourages wider use of the church, and St Andrew’s church (and its church room) has been used during the year for:
PCC initiated activities:
- Tea on Monday and Knit & Natter, on alternate Monday afternoons. This is hosted by volunteers, and normally has approx. 15 attendees. All are welcome.
- ‘Little Fishes’, a group for pre-school children accompanied by a parent/carer meets on Thursday mornings in school term time. This was started in February 2016 and continues to address a local community need.
- Church choir practices (weekly)
- Music concerts
- Study Groups and courses
Other activities approved by the PCC:
- The Friends of St Andrew’s Church annual carol evening.
- Carol service for the Christian Medical Fellowship.
- ArtWeeks displays and workshops.
- Headington Mothers Union events.
- Practices by outside choirs and musicians
Bell ringing practices are held weekly, the bells are rung before each major service, and quarter peals have been rung monthly during the year. The simulator is used monthly for training new ringers. We regularly welcome visiting ringing groups to the tower.
## **Special Events:**
- In February 2022 the annual Corporate Communion and dinner at Keble College was cancelled due to COVID restrictions.
- The former Dean of Westminster preached at the Parish Eucharist on Accession Day.
- An afternoon tea was held to mark the Platinum Jubilee.
- The annual pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham took place in September.
Annual PCC report for St Andrew’s, Headington Page 4 of 7
- Harvest Lunch was held again after the Harvest Festival.
- A commemoration service was held to mark the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
## **Music:**
The St Andrew’s church choir continues to thrive under the direction of the Director of Music although this has been greatly curtailed by the COVID restrictions. The work on touch, tone and volume, recommended to the PCC by the organ sub-committee, was carried out by Nicholson & Co. in the first quarter of 2022.
## **Parish Administration:**
A paid Parish Administrator works 4 hours per week, reporting to the Vicar and Churchwardens. As part of the administrator’s work, a database of church contacts is maintained, to help improve follow-up to baptisms, weddings and funerals. The parish is GDPR compliant.
## **Schools:**
Strong links continue with St Andrew’s School, a Voluntary Controlled Church of England primary school. The Vicar is the chair of Governors and with the Curate leads Collective Worship in school once a week. The school holds whole-school services in church to celebrate Harvest, Christmas, Easter and the end of the school year.
There are two other Foundation Governors from the parish who are appointed by the diocese. In 2022 the Governors ran two successful recruitment processes to appoint a new headteacher and deputy headteacher. Both positions fell vacant due to retirements at the end of the 2021/22 academic year.
There are also strong links with Headington School, an independent girls’ school with a Church of England foundation. The Vicar is on the governing body. The school Confirmation service is held jointly each year with the parish in St Andrew’s Church. The clergy lead school prayers and preach at the Boarders’ Services occasionally at the invitation of the school chaplain.
## **Mission and Evangelism:**
St Andrew’s continues to support 12 missions (from the UK and overseas), as selected by and administered by the Missions Committee, using an agreed amount of the parish income, which is currently £750 per month
In addition:
- The regular donations to the local Community Emergency Foodbank have continued to be well-supported by the congregation.
- Donated gifts to the St Andrew’s boat (for 2 weeks after St Andrew’s Day) continue to be well-received by the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
- Similarly, donated items at Harvest are provided to local shelter charities.
- Collections at Christmas services are provided to local charities which support drug and alcohol rehabilitation, homelessness and special education needs for children.
The church website (www.standrewsheadington.co.uk) continues to provide comprehensive information about the church, with history, contacts, and current and forthcoming services and events. It is updated weekly. There are also Twitter and Facebook accounts for St Andrew’s. These remain for keeping people in touch with the church and giving access to liturgical materials for each Sunday.
The _Norman Arch_ magazine continues to be produced in-house 10 times per year, with an average of 100 copies per issue being sold.
Annual PCC report for St Andrew’s, Headington Page 5 of 7
## **Ecumenical relationships:**
St Andrew’s is a member of Churches Together in Headington and was represented at meetings in 2022. There were no Christmas and Easter cards in 2022. We continue to support the Headington Fun Day (financial and volunteer support).
## **Financial Review**
Please see the 2022 Accounts for details.
## **Reserves Policy**
It is the policy of the PCC to keep approximately two months’ worth of General Fund outgoings in a current account. The rest of the reserves are invested with CCLA in a Church of England investment fund, per the PCC’s Investment Policy. The Treasurer monitors the value of the investments monthly, and an Investment sub-committee recommends to the PCC any actions that are required.
## **Plans for future periods**
The plans for 2023 are to:
- Seek new ways to re-vitalise and strengthen Young Church and our work with families.
- Increase our profile in the Northway Community.
- Develop our engagement with the isolated in our community.
- Develop a COVID memorial garden in the churchyard as part of the wider care of this space.
- Use the church website to its fullest potential.
- Continue to promote the Parish Giving Scheme and a culture of generous giving.
- Respond to the recommendations of the eco-survey on the church building.
- Complete the installation of the 900[th] anniversary windows.
## **Risk Management**
The PCC has approved Risk Assessments for church services and events held in church.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the many volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST ANDREW'S HEADINGTON PCC**
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 9 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner**
The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act') and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under s145 of the act; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s145(5)(b) of the Act; and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **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; as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations 1997
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.

**ST ANDREW'S HEADINGTON PCC NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## a. Basis of preparation
The PCC is a public benefit entitiy within the meaning of FRS102. These financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs and with the regulations 'true and fair view' provisions; they have also been prepared under FRS102 as the applicable accounting standard and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and reporting by Charities.
## b. Funds
Unrestricted funds are general funds available for the general objectives of the church.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes.
Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes for which thy have been given, within the objectives of the church. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against those specific funds. The aim and use of each fund is explained later in the notes.
## c. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the SoFA when the church becomes legally entitled to the income and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty.
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when received. Grants and legacies are recognised as soon as the PCC becomes aware of its legal entitlement and the amount due is quantifiable with reasonable certainty.
Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is accounted for when the gift is received, not when the tax refund is received.
When incoming resources have related expenditure ( as with fundraising income) the incoming resources and the related resources expended are accounted for gross in the SOFA.
Interest is accounted for when receivable and includes any recoverable tax.
## d. Resources expended
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for goods or services.
All costs have been directly attributed to the various categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources based on an allocation of actual costs.
As the church is not registered for VAT , all the expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
Governance costs include the costs of the preparation of the annual accounts, the cost of PCC meetings and the legal cost of advice on governance or constituational matters.
Grants and charitable giving are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC, provided that there are no conditions to be met relationg to the grant which remain in the control of the church.
## e. Fixed assets
All capital expenditure in excess of £1,000, for a single item or a group of similar items , is capitalised.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost evenly over the expected useful economic life of assets as follows: furniture, fittings and equipment - 4 years.
No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings as, in the opinion of the PCC, the residual value of the property is not materially less than the value at which it is carried inthe accounts.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST ANDREW'S HEADINGTON PCC**
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 9 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner**
The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act') and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under s145 of the act; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s145(5)(b) of the Act; and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **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; as also contained in the Church Accounting Regulations 1997
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.

**ST ANDREW'S HEADINGTON PCC NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## a. Basis of preparation
The PCC is a public benefit entitiy within the meaning of FRS102. These financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs and with the regulations 'true and fair view' provisions; they have also been prepared under FRS102 as the applicable accounting standard and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and reporting by Charities.
## b. Funds
Unrestricted funds are general funds available for the general objectives of the church.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes.
Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes for which thy have been given, within the objectives of the church. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against those specific funds. The aim and use of each fund is explained later in the notes.
## c. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the SoFA when the church becomes legally entitled to the income and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty.
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when received. Grants and legacies are recognised as soon as the PCC becomes aware of its legal entitlement and the amount due is quantifiable with reasonable certainty.
Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is accounted for when the gift is received, not when the tax refund is received.
When incoming resources have related expenditure ( as with fundraising income) the incoming resources and the related resources expended are accounted for gross in the SOFA.
Interest is accounted for when receivable and includes any recoverable tax.
## d. Resources expended
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for goods or services.
All costs have been directly attributed to the various categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources based on an allocation of actual costs.
As the church is not registered for VAT , all the expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
Governance costs include the costs of the preparation of the annual accounts, the cost of PCC meetings and the legal cost of advice on governance or constituational matters.
Grants and charitable giving are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC, provided that there are no conditions to be met relationg to the grant which remain in the control of the church.
## e. Fixed assets
All capital expenditure in excess of £1,000, for a single item or a group of similar items , is capitalised.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost evenly over the expected useful economic life of assets as follows: furniture, fittings and equipment - 4 years.
No depreciation is provided on freehold buildings as, in the opinion of the PCC, the residual value of the property is not materially less than the value at which it is carried inthe accounts.
