## **Committees** 

The PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC. 

## Standing Committee 

This is the only committee required by church law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between the meetings, subject to any direction given by the council. It oversees the general financial dimensions of the work of St Stephen’s and St Julian’s. 

Buildings 

Attends to church buildings and fabric, the churchyard and 12 Tavistock Avenue. Charities Children and Youth Communications Community Café Community Engagement Environment Finance Lunch Club Pastoral Care Social and Fund Raising Music and Worship 

## **St Julian’s District Church Council** 

Attends to matters relating to St Julian’s Church, including the general upkeep of the buildings and surrounding area. Organises social events and functions. 

## **Church Attendance** 

There are 146 names on the Church Electoral Roll. The average Sunday attendance at St Stephen’s and St Julian’s has varied during the year depending on Covid restrictions and guidance. The live and recorded services have been many and varied, enabling the members of the parish and wider community to feel connected and supported during another very challenging year. 

During the early part of the year, during lockdown, the number of people watching services on-line was much the same as in the previous lockdown. Evening and morning prayer had an average count of 15 people watching and the younger people enjoyed Tots and Teddies and Sunday Explorers. ‘Viewer’ numbers were high for all the Sunday services, varying from 91 to 158, and of course there may have been more than one person watching per household. 

As expected, the numbers of people watching on-line dropped when worship was available again in the two churches, to around 60 each week, increasing to 91 for the Carol Service. The midweek Night Prayer resumed at weekly or two weekly intervals, sometimes with refreshments beforehand. The early morning services resumed their normal pattern, with the welcome addition of coffee and cake at St Stephen’s after the 9.15 service of Holy Communion. The attendees were willing helpers to a project, run by Maggie Dodd as an Anna Chaplain, of making and decorating stars to send to elderly residents in St Albans. The Friday morning prayer time continued each week on Zoom. 

The PCC wish to record their thanks to Alison Pether, who accomplished an amazing task, especially during the Covid restrictions, circulating the Pew Sheet and notices, and the Parish Magazine to more than 200 people, and completing many other tasks. 



## **Review of the year.** 

The Parochial Church Council met six times during the year, using Zoom when Covid rules did not permit meeting in person or when the guidelines recommended caution. The various committees met between PCC meetings and sent their reports to the PCC  for discussion where necessary. Unlike 2020, the APCM was able to be held in April 2021 at the usual time of year, therefore this report covers the calendar year of 2021. 

The PCC continues to include Parish Safeguarding as an item for discussion at each meeting. This ensures we are up to date with the rules and regulations and that all necessary training is completed. We are most grateful to Jane Wright for her work in ensuring the parish meets its commitments. 

Matters relating to Health and Safety are reported at each meeting and actions taken as necessary. The PCC took the issues relating to Covid compliance very seriously and spent much time discussing matters such as the allocation of places at services, social distancing, safety, signage, track and trace and the guidelines relating to the opening of the halls to make them Covid compliant. ‘Open Church’ at St Stephens was resumed following the re-opening of the church after Covid restrictions were lifted on 21[st] March 2021. 

The PCC approved any necessary actions to improve the technology required for the streaming of online services.  An outdoor PA system was purchased and has been used on several occasions such as Palm Sunday and the Crib Service. 

As is usual at the May meeting, the PCC approved the members of the Standing Committee and elected the various officers of the PCC and the Conveners of the many committees. The PCC also approved the names of the Communion Assistants. 

The Treasurer, Randal ffrench, provided financial reports each month to the PCC and Standing Committee meetings. The Annual Parish Accounts for 2021 are not included in this report and are printed separately.  At an extra-ordinary meeting of the PCC held on 21.11.21 the accounts were approved, not having been able to have been examined by an external person prior to the APCM in April 2021. In addition, at this meeting, Neil Johnston was elected to be a Churchwarden, replacing Peter Clough who had resigned due to ill health. 

The Environment Officer presented regular reports about trainings, seminars and events. Silver Award levels of the Eco Church Awards are close to being completed at each church.  The area of Worship at each church is already at Gold level. 

During the year the PCC received regular reports of the progress being made towards the installation of replacement lights at St Stephen’s. The project, completed in the summer, has made the church so much brighter and more colourful and good use is made of the system to have lights in certain areas. The PCC expressed thanks to Richard Pether for his considerable input with this project. 

Decisions were made relating to Charity spending, both locally and overseas, and the church continues to support the community by collecting donations to the Food Bank and the Hygiene Bank. 

The PCC were pleased to receive the ideas, as in the previous year, of the provision of a lit Christmas tree in the churchyard and Advent quotes on a board on the church path near the pedestrian crossing on Watling Street. 



Other items discussed during the year have included: the provision of Solar Panels at St Stephen’s, the provision of defibrillators at each church, the renewal of the lease for the car park at St Stephen’s, hall hire charges at St Stephen’s, the condition of the ancient horse chestnut tree, and receiving new tenders for the cutting of the grass in the churchyard. 

The PCC also received a very detailed report on the condition of the organ, now showing signs of age. An induction Pack was completed to welcome new members to the PCC. 

Members of the PCC and DCC attended an ‘Away half-day’ in order to consider the priorities of the new MAP (Mission Action Plan) and to create smart goals. 

A new initiative was the decision to devote time at three PCC meetings in a year to have a targeted discussion focused on ministry and mission. In July Rachel Johnston, Diocesan Environment Officer, gave a power point presentation which included an update of the global position on Climate Change, the commitment of the Church of England and the Five Marks of Mission, COP 26 and the pilgrimage passing through St Albans in August and the progress made towards the Eco Church Award. This was followed by discussion relating to the mission Action Plan goals in this area and the next steps for the parish. 

In September Margaret Houston Pritchard, the Diocesan Children’s Mission Enabler, provided ideas and led discussions about revitalising children’s and families’ ministry. 

Finally the members of the PCC unanimously wish to record their appreciation to Becky, Kirsty and Patrick for all that has been achieved, supporting everyone in the Parish and wider community as we move from challenging times to more normal life. 

Mary Willatt, PCC Secretary.

Accounts 2021 

**Parochial Church Council of St. Stephen's with St. Julian's, St. Albans Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31/12/2021** 

**1 Accounting Policies** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted funds can only be used for the purposes specified by the giver. 

Funds designated for the use of the St. Julian's DCC are shown separately as Designated. The accounts 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 main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **Incoming Resources: Voluntary income and capital sources** 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on donations is estimated monthly as a debt. This debt is written off when the payment is received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

Funds raised by the auction, summer fair and similar events are accounted for gross. 

## **Other Income** 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

**Income from investments** There has been no investment income during the year. 

**Resources Used: Grants** Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. **Activities directly related to the work of the Church** The diocesan parish share is accounted for as sums are paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. 

**Fixed Assets: Consecrated property and movable church furnishings** Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2) of the Charities Act 1993. 

## **Inalienable Assets:** 

St. Julian's Church is dedicated and should be accounted for as inalianable property. However, it has not been valued and the cost of valuation is judged to be not worth the benefit obtained. For this reason it is not included in the accounts. 

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to these accounts, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore no such assets are valued in these accounts. 

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £15,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings is written off. 

## **Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment** 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £15,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Investments** 

There are no investments held. 

## **Current Assets** 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

Accounts 2021 

## **St Stephen's with St. Julian's Parish reserves Policy** 

By law a charity is not allowed to hoard funds. The PCC has to justify the reserves that it holds. In this context, Reserves are the current assets less the restricted funds: i.e. those funds readily available for any eventuality. 

We are required to state a minimum that it is prudent to hold and a maximum that we can justify. 

## **1. Minimum Reserve** 

Any problems with cash flow may not be identified immediately as income and expenditure fluctuate from month to month. It is considered prudent to ensure that reserve are greater than six month's expenditure to allow three months to identify a problem and another three months for action to show results. 

## **2. Maximum Reserve** 

Expenditure on Quinquennial items during the five years between quinquennial inspections could credibly reach £150,000. The most that we can justifiably hold in excess of the miminum reserve would be this plus any planned projects. 

## **3. 2021** 

For 2021 these policies become: 

a)    Half of 2021 expenditure = £        76,870 Minimum Reserve **Say £80,000** b)    Possible projects: Organ Refurbishment 10,000.00 St. Julian's Vestry 5,000.00 Projection Equipment 35,000.00 St. Julian's Windows 20,000.00 St. Stephens Boundary W 10,000.00 **Total £80,000** The maximum reserve for 2021 is therefore £80,000 Quinquennial £150,000 Other £80,000 Maximun Reserve Total **£310,000** 

These limits can be breached - it is merely that the PCC feel it is prudent to attempt to keep the reserves above the minimum and below the maximum. 

**At the end of 2021 the reserves were £284,993**
