## **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 were 159 names on the Church Electoral Roll.
The attendance at St Julian’s Church was about the same as before Covid, while the numbers at St Stephen’s were taking some time to build up again. Sadly, some members had become more frail or had died. However, at Easter the church was full with over 100 people attending. There have been signs of growth with new people joining the congregation and eleven candidates being confirmed by the Bishop at the end of the year.
The PCC considered the livestreaming of services. This was started in March 2020 and had been very successful in providing worship in times of Covid restrictions. Although the numbers of people watching had dropped as live services had resumed, it was felt by the PCC that this facility should continue as it was much appreciated by those unable to attend church in person and for those living far away such as friends and relatives.
‘Viewer’ numbers for the Sunday services varied from 35 to 91, and of course there may have been more than one person watching per household.
Similarly the PCC thought that the Sunday sheet ‘Together in Prayer should continue as this was also valued by many people.
The Wednesday service of Compline was held at certain times in the year and during Advent. The early morning services resumed their normal pattern, with the continuation 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 felt or wooden hearts to send to elderly residents in St Albans. The Friday morning prayer time continued each week on Zoom.
## **Review of the year.**
The Parochial Church Council met six times during the year, the Standing Committee also met on six occasions in the months between. The various committees met during the year, sending their reports to the PCC for discussion where necessary. The APCM was held in the hall in April 2022. Attendance by PCC members at PCC meetings was 86% for the year and for the Standing Committee 89%. Absences were due to illness or work commitments.
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. The March meeting includes, on its agenda, the revision and approval of the many statutory documents. We are most grateful to Jane Wright for her work in ensuring the parish meets its commitments.
Matters relating to **Health and Safety** have been reported at each meeting and actions taken as necessary. A defibrillator with both adult and child sized pads available was installed at St Stephen’s. The **Fire Safety** Officer led the PCC through Risk Assessments and members of the Sidesteam were trained on evacuation procedures. The subject of **Data Protection** was also considered and PCC members will be undergoing training.
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 2022 are not included in this report and are printed separately. The PCC made decisions about **Fees and Honoraria.**
The **Mission Action Plan (MAP)** was considered, revised and referred to on many occasions.
The appointment of a **Lay leader of Children and Families** was approved, as were the members of the **Pastoral Care** team.
The proposed constitution for the soon to be started **Friends of St Stephen’s Church** was agreed.
The **Environment** Officer presented regular reports about trainings, seminars and events and the progress being made towards the Silver Level of the Eco Church Award. The area of Worship at each church is already at Gold level.
The findings of a **Travel survey** were considered as part of the Life style element of the award and applications were made to the Diocese for the approval for the installation of a water butt, replacement Hawthorn trees and the positioning of bird boxes.
A new **Carbon Group** was formed to investigate power use and make decisions about reaching Net Carbon Zero.
Decisions were made relating to **Charity spending** , donations being sent to International charities working overseas, National charities in the UK and local charities in the St Albans area. The church continues to support the community by collecting donations for the **Food Bank** and **Hygiene Bank** .
During the year the PCC received regular reports of the progress being made towards the provision of solar panels at St Stephen’s, the renewal of the lease for the car park at St Stephen’s, the condition of the ancient horse chestnut tree, the car park surface, the churchyard boundary wall, repairs to the clock, and the maintenance of the pulpit.
The PCC also received new tenders for the cutting of the grass in the churchyard and appointed a new contractor, reviewed the hall hire charges at St Stephen’s, considered the cost of the Parish Magazine, and helped to formulate ideas towards the celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee held in June.
The PCC agenda also included a report from the Deanery Synod held three times in the year.
The PCC wish to record their thanks to Alison Pether for her support - circulating the Pew Sheets, Notices, and the Parish Magazines to more than 200 people, and completing many other tasks.
Finally the members of the PCC unanimously wish to record their appreciation to Becky, for her leadership and guidance, and to the other members of the ministry team - Kirsty, Patrick, Martin, Geoff and Michael, also Mike, Netta and Maggie, for the opportunities to worship in so many ways and for supporting everyone in the Parish and wider community.
Mary Willatt, PCC Secretary.

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on March 14th 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
The notes following form part of these accounts
Page 2
Accounts 2022
**Parochial Church Council of St. Stephen's with St. Julian's, St. Albans Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31/12/2022**
**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 2022
## **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. 2022**
## For 2022 these policies become:
a) Half of 2022 expenditure = £ 88,788 Minimum Reserve **Say £90,000** b) Possible projects: Organ Refurbishment 100,000.00 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 £170,000** The maximum reserve for 2022 is therefore £90,000 Quinquennial £150,000 Other £170,000 Maximun Reserve Total **£410,000**
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 2022 the reserves were £290,736**
