It is a charity registered with the Charity Commission, regulated by the Charities Act 2011 which requires the PCC to report to its congregation and the public at large. PCC members are Trustees of the Charity. Members of the PCC are appointed in accordance with the Church Representation Rules and normally are elected for a three-year term by nomination of two parishioners. New PCC members are briefed on their responsibilities by the Incumbent as PCC Chairman. In line with Diocesan requirements and where appropriate, PCC members receive training on safeguarding and data protection. The PCC meets regularly during the year to manage the ordinary business of the Parish, such as the appointment of officers, expenditure and budgeting, the balance and type of our social events, risk management, safeguarding, data protection, equipment needs, property matters, and issues raised by Teams. Day-to-day operational management of the Parish is undertaken by the Incumbent and Church Wardens working closely together. The Parish has an executive committee, the Standing Committee, which sets the PCC agenda and transacts business between PCC meetings. The Standing Committee is also able to agree items of expenditure, within certain parameters, between PCC meetings and, in some cases, makes recommendations to the PCC on particular items. The Safeguarding Officer ensures that the PCC has a Safeguarding Policy and supporting procedures, and that the Church takes seriously its responsibility for the care and nurture of children and vulnerable adults. She is a member of the PCC and assists the PCC in drawing up procedures and policies on safeguarding. The Health and Safety Officer seeks to prevent accidents and injuries to those involved with the work of St Peter’s and those visiting the Church’s premises. His role is also to implement health and safety policies in accordance with the latest guidance working with the Standing Committee and PCC. ## **Objectives and activities** The PCC adopted the mission statement on behalf of the Parish: ## **Attracting, Engaging and Involving** The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, the Associate Priest, and the Licensed Lay Minister with the objective of promoting in the Parish the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It ensures payment of the Parish’s contribution to the Parish ministry and Diocesan costs via the Parish Share, and has the responsibility for all the Parish’s assets, including its land and buildings: the Church, the Church Hall, St Peter’s Lodge and Vauxmead and the restricted funds it holds. Each year the PCC has taken time away from its regular duties to strengthen its relationships and to think strategically but this was not possible in 2020. However, to assist with the organisation of the many activities carried out by St Peter’s Church, the PCC has reorganized its working Teams with each headed by a member of the PCC and they are responsible for executing the tasks that the PCC has determined,. They operate under terms of reference which were also being updated in 2020 but have yet to be approved formally, by the PCC. From July 2021, the Parish expects to have a curate in post to train and assist with our mission objectives. 4 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council _______________________________________________________________ The Teams which have been reformed in 2020 with three main Vision Groups of - Care, Grow and Share and will report to the PCC on a six-monthly basis, the schedule of which is set at the start of every calendar year. With these Strategic Groups, the Teams are now as follows: - **Care** - • Worship & Deanery • Pastoral Care & Welcome **Grow** - • Youth Services • Christian Discipleship **Share** - • Publicity • Foodbank **Support** • Mission Support & Hersham Churches Together - • Fabric & Health & Safety • Vauxmead Committee • Treasury & Stewardship • Strategic & Property • Administration & Parish Hall • Safeguarding Committee The Groups/Teams are supported by the teams that will run the day-to-day or one-off activities including the following: - Welcome & Integration • St Peter’s Fellowship (Affiliated group) - • Bell Ringers • Hersham Churches together • Craft Group • Hospitality & Event support • MAP Coordinating Group • Youth and children’s groups: Sunday Club and • Music Group SPARKS (Sunday mornings children’s groups), • Deanery Gems (a mother & toddler group), TAG • SPAM (St Peter’s Active Men) The PCC has given due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commissioners in deciding what activities the Church should undertake and has complied with the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. The report of the Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council during 2020 can be viewed on the Church’s web site. 2020 has been an intensely difficult year for St Peter’s Church with the lockdowns imposed in March due to Covid19. The church team led by the Vicar, Reverend Jackie Richardson, made amazing steps and changes to learn to video and record services and release them onto the internet for the congregation and Hersham public at large to view them. In due course, the church was allowed to open for individual visit for prayer and reflection before services could recommence with social distancing until the new lockdown in November. The popular Music to Calm your Soul was also recorded and released onto the internet. A grant has been obtained from the Charity of Phillip Charles to pay for a telephone line to be installed into the church for an internet router, to allow live video to be broadcast for services, choral concerts, services, and other activities. A second grant is being sought to provide a simple means to video them so that members of the congregation can control it. ## **Foodbank** St Peter’s Hersham PCC gives the Walton and Hersham foodbank legal, accounting and statutory service to backup its role as a lead organization in the Walton & Hersham parishes where demand for its services grew significantly higher during 2020. The PCC remains pleased to be part of this work together with the valued input of Walton Charities through their Manager, Mrs Nina Malyon. During 2020 in excess of 4,390 people were helped and 1,591 parcels issued, whilst last year, 3,008 people were helped, an increase of 46%. All these people have been referred to the foodbank via its referral partners and even in the midst of the first lockdown 'panic', all those receiving food met necessary criteria of being in financial hardship without the means to buy food. Most referrals were from Rentstart, a local charity which supports those who are homeless or under threat of homelessness with the second highest number of referrals coming via Citizens Advice Bureau in Walton. Unfortunately, there is an increase in the amount of people who are using the foodbank more than once mainly due to the 5 week wait for Universal Credit, as well as many people who never thought they would need the services of a foodbank. 5 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council ## _______________________________________________________________ Over 40 metric tonnes of donated food has been received and distributed, and this includes bulk donations from Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose and Morrisons as well as lots of private donations and of course the local street collections which have given many local communities the opportunity to come together and support a local cause. The physical hard work by volunteers in receiving, sorting, moving and packing all this food should not be underestimated. The community has also responded in unimagined generosity in cash donations which in 2020 totaled a staggering £91,527. ## **Safeguarding** Much work was again done during the year on the issue of Safeguarding as this matter continues to be at the heart of the work of the PCC, especially in view of the adverse report against the historic response of the Church of England published in 2020. On the basis of the report produced by the Safeguarding Officer, the PCC confirmed that it should again adopt the Church of England “Promoting a Safer Church” Policy Statement along with the national policies and practice guidance approved by the House of Bishops. This policy statement actively underpins all safeguarding work within the Church. During the year, the Safeguarding Officer completed the review of all volunteers and helpers, in all capacities, with a view to ensuring that those who should hold all the necessary approvals have undertaken appropriate training. This forms the bedrock of policy and procedure for Safeguarding within the Parish. In February 2020 one member of the PCC who had not completed his renewal course was suspended in line with this policy and in June 2020 all then members of the PCC received training on safe recruitment. ## **Vauxmead** As Managing Trustee of Vauxmead, the PCC continues to seek to enhance and improve the facilities of Vauxmead, an open space field used for sports for young people and community events. The site is considerably tidier than it has been for many years and, through its Vauxmead committee, the PCC seeks to encourage increased use of the land and buildings. The Burwood Pre-School currently rents from the PCC the St Peter’s Institute building on Vauxmead and in April 2020 renewed its lease for a further 4 years The Guides rent land for their building and the Foodbank uses the garage on license, as a storage for food and provisions. Hersham Football and various groups hire the field for their use. The involvement of these groups serves the dual purpose of serving to make Vauxmead and its buildings more than self-sufficient from a financial point of view and also supporting and enhancing its local community links. ## **Other Areas** In addition, the PCC also: - Continued to pay close attention to the financial health of the Parish Church, and 2020 has been challenging in view of the loss of income from the hire of the Parish Hall for community use, with much reduced numbers of weddings, much reduced congregations, resulting in reduced income such that finances have been severely hit. However, significant bequests have been left for the use of the Church which will greatly assist in maintaining solvency in 2021 and thereafter. These bequests will be used to support Outreach activities such as Youth work, pastoral care, etc.; - Received in April 2020, £49,600 as restricted funds from the closure and transfer of Charles Sparks Trust. The responsibilities imposed by this Trust will be followed in assisting Aged and Youth people and it is planned to appoint a part time Youth Worker for the Hersham Community and schools; - Received a grant from John O’Reilly’s Surrey CC councilor fund to be put to replacing the Fire door in the hall so that it can continue to give valuable support to community activities; - Plans to have a Giving campaign to replenish the church reserves with regard to appointment of the new Curate and help allay this additional cost, but welcome addition to the team; - Continued to ensure that Health & Safety is given due care and attention and that the property of the Parish is maintained, though with Covid-19 it has been difficult to get contractors to be available for works. Several of the lesser issues that had arisen from the Quinquennial Report are now deferred to 2021 and a full review and assessment will be carried out to prioritize works; 6 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council ## _______________________________________________________________ - Continued to actively support our home mission, the Hersham Youth Trust, and three overseas missions, through prayer and donations; - Continued to keep the children and young people of the Parish at the heart of its mission; - Ensured its record keeping complies with Data Protection legislation; - Supported the foodbank in its invaluable work in the community in the current economic difficulties imposed by covid-19. ## **The Future** During 2021, the PCC will be applying the funds from the bequests towards work of the new Team Structure with the objective of improving how we address the core values of St Peter’s, namely, to be **Attracting, Engaging and Involving** , concentrating on numerical and Spiritual growth and reaching out to our community. ## **Management of risk** The PCC continues to identify and manage the risks which arise from its day-to-day activities. The PCC views those risks under the headings of strategic, financial and operational, governance and regulation and reputational. In the Guildford diocese several churches have had significant difficulties in meeting their financial commitments and the Diocese had had to give significant support to them, and sell assets to raise funds. The giving by St Peter’s congregation has maintained the church’s unrestricted funds which will meet its future commitments until December 2021. The significant bequests have improved the position, hopefully, until normality can perhaps return with the Vaccine roll out. Areas of risks are brought to the attention of the PCC for review as a part of the standing agenda over the year and any changes required are minuted and actioned. The major areas on the regular agenda for consideration are the following: - Annual budget and quarterly reporting - Authority levels - Bank mandate - Financial reserves policy - Health & safety - Insurance policies - • Key-holders • Public relations policy • Safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults The PCC is pleased to report that, in 2020, other than the problems resulting from Covid-19, no other major adverse risk events arose. Despite the severe impacts arising from Covid 19 virus, and the significant financial consequences, the Annual Parochial Annual Meeting was held on 24[th] October and a number of new PCC members were appointed. On 18[h] March 2020 the Archbishops made the decision that churches must close both for private worship and public services. Our church buildings therefore closed for activities except for vital community services such as the foodbank until lockdown restrictions were reduced. However the January 2021 lockdown has forced us to close the church for worship due to the virulent nature of the new Covid strain. In the light of the need for social distancing measures, PCC meetings continue to be held in 2020 through Zoom. Using software such as Zoom and the new ChurchSuite Admin System, the vicar and her team have been finding creative ways of staying in touch with parishioners and vitally, those who are isolated and vulnerable, in order to give them spiritual and practical support. ## **Financial results of activities** The Treasury Team reports to the PCC for overall stewardship of the financial resources. The team’s normal activities range from giving financial guidance, to assisting the PCC in the assessment of its budgets, the disposition of assets and fund raising, through to the day-to-day accounting for income and expenditure. This includes the preparation of annual budgets and quarterly accounts for review by the PCC. During the last year, the team also undertook the following: 7 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council ## _______________________________________________________________ - Implemented the Xero accounting system such that information is linked directly to the bank accounts allowing accounting records to be more up to date, and permitting timely review of the finance position; - Administered the confidential stewardship records and submitted regular returns to HMRC for the reclaim of Gift Aid; - Supported the Vauxmead and Foodbank Committees in their oversight of costs and income. The total voluntary activities of the PCC, the various Teams and their members and many other volunteers are considerable and assure the efficient operation of the church and its activities. The detailed Financial Statement of Income and Costs is reported as a separate statement this year as it is not a requirement of the Accounts reported to the public. However, it is attached to the reports available to the Congregation members. In 2020, our voluntary unrestricted income reduced by 10% as follows: ||**2020**|**2019**|
**2018**| |---|---|---|---| |Voluntary income*|£77,114|£85,561|£88,978| |% (Dec)/Inc|(10)%|(3)%|| *Excluding restricted sundry donations, fund raising, legacies and gifts-in-kind, but including the attributable tax benefit. In 2020, our Income (excluding Vauxmead and the Foodbank) of £122,283 decreased overall by £58,605, down by 32%, compared with 2019 due to the net effect of the following: - Reduced Hall rental income of £21,000 due to its closure and limiting usage . Hire rates continue to be held at 2018 level to assist hirers to return; - A decrease in donations and sundry amounts by £7,000 due to reduced services, though overall Giving by the congregation has been maintained and has been of enormous support; In 2020, our expenditure (excluding Vauxmead and the Foodbank) of £163,008 decreased overall by £39,552, which is 19% down compared with 2019. The more significant movements year-on-year, were as follows: - Reduced costs of £3,000 on maintenance of the Church and Hall; - Reduced fees from weddings and funerals by £5,600 due to the lower overall number of weddings as follows: ||No of services||**2020**||**2019**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Weddings|||**2**||**6**| |Funeral services|||**23**|**19**|| - No major expenditure for structural work was undertaken in 2020 and the internal redecoration of the south aisle has been deferred and the accrued amount of £6940 released to offset costs; - Administration costs in purchase of gel , dispensers and masks to meet Covid-19 regulations and additional telephone costs; - increases in the Church insurance costs due to a revaluation of its rebuilding cost; As mentioned above the donations made by Hersham Residents, Elmbridge and Surrey council, corporate donations, schools and others towards the Foodbank has been absolutely astounding to the tune of £91,257. All of these donations are restricted funds which can only be put towards the foodbank’s activities. 8 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council _______________________________________________________________ The unrestricted activities of the PCC recorded a net deficit of £40,724. There was however a surplus on restricted activities of Vauxmead of £21,889 and £64,084 for the Foodbank. The resulting overall total net income of £45,249 was before gains of £2,004 on the Endowment funds held as investment assets and a loss of £10,000 on the devaluation of the Lodge. Looking forward, the PCC approved in November 2020, the unrestricted church budget for 2021 that showed an overall deficit of £83,798 for the PCC’s own activities before taking account of a surplus on the Vauxmead activities of £21,945 and before any large one-off costs which may arise. This was compiled before the bequests were notified to the church, such that a review will be undertaken in 2021 from the impact of vaccination and matters getting back to previous positions. Procedures have been put in place to closely monitor the financial position of the church now that the accounting system is more responsive. The financial budget for 2020 for the foodbank also anticipated a surplus of £1,609, but this was based on previous levels of donations and it remains to be seen how 2021 will continue to respond in public and corporate generosity. A foodbank expenditure budget for 2021 has been approved by the Foodbank Management Committee. This budget recognized that the PCC’s financial position remained reasonably strong compared to other churches in the diocese and the bequests have improved matters. There remains the possibility of unforeseen costs on property and the overall effects of the Covid-19 virus in 2021 which cannot yet be estimated. The PCC recognizes that it will need to continue to manage the finances closely. On this basis, as that the PCC believes that it has sufficient financial resources to meet its currently anticipated needs, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. ## **Policy on reserves** The PCC retains a range of unrestricted and restricted funds which are described in Notes 22-23 of the Financial Statements. The Reserve Fund is the PCC’s general reserve and is held to cover its day-to-day activities. The Property Development and Improvement Fund is established to provide for the expected costs of evaluating intended improvements to Church buildings and other PCC property. No significant expenditure was made in 2020 but a group has been set up to consider the strategic options for the church. The Property Repair Fund is an amount set aside to cover quinquennial Church repair or other property costs such as to St Peter’s Lodge, a residential investment property, or to the vicarage. The PCC expects that this reserve will be used within the next four years to cover roofing, refurbishment and other costs although it will be replaced as the PCC sees fit, dependent on future building plans. The accrual held in 2019 accounts of £6,940 has been released into the general reserve, as the internal repairs of the church’s south aisle roof will be prioritized with other property works in a Property & Fabric repair plan, following a transfer to this fund in 2019 of £15,000. The Revaluation Reserves in the past relate to revaluation surpluses arising on the Church Hall building and St Peter’s Lodge, this year the Estate Agents for the lodge have reduced its valuation by £10,000. It is the current intention of the PCC to retain these properties for its own use as investment properties and to generate rental income, both of which are important to the PCC’s activities. Therefore, this fund will remain for the foreseeable future dependent on any future decisions about the disposition of properties by the Strategic & Property team. In 2020, the PCC has benefitted from the surplus arising from the management of the Vauxmead site by £21,889 (2019: £17,904). The PCC’s approach to the management of its reserves is conservative but consistent with the requirement to use its resources to fund its activities to meet its vision. The policy on reserves is reviewed each year at the time of approving the financial statements. 9 St Petef s Church, Hersham Report and Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council Inveslment pollcy The pollcy of the PCC has been to Invest su￿lUS funds in Iow4isk inter8st-b8aring inv8stments which provide flexlblllty wlthout penalty arKI which meet ethical criteria c>)nsist6nt wrfh the PCC'S vision.

Jacklo Rlehwdvjn Chair of PCC Awll 2021 10 St Peter’s Church, Hersham Statement of Responsibilities of the Members ## _____________________________________________________________ The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving and true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and: 1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 2. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 3. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 4. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the Charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable regulations. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 11 St Peter's Church, Hersham Independent Examiner's Report Independent Examlnefs Report to the Members as Trustees of St Petsfs Parochlal Church Councll I report on the accounts ofthe Trusl for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set ￿t on pages 13 to 19.

The Parochial Church Council is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The Parochial Church Council has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the Parochial Church Council. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the PCC members have a reasonable expectation that the Parochial Church Council has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the PCC members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the PCC members in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Parochial Church Council. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the Parochial Church Council is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Parochial Church Council has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. - 16 - ## **ST PETER'S HERSHAM PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Parochial Church Council has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. ## **1.5 Expenditure** A liability is recognised when either a legal or constructive obligation is identified. ## **Mission Support** Donations are accounted for when paid or awarded, if that award created a binding obligation on the PCC. ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Freehold land and buildings straight line basis over 50 years (buildings only) Plant and equipment straight line basis over 4 years Fixtures and fittings straight line basis over 4 years The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. ## **1.7 Investment properties** Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss. ## **1.8 Fixed asset investments** Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. ## **1.9 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the Parochial Church Council reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . ## **1.10 Stocks** Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. - 17 - **ST PETER'S HERSHAM PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.11 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.12 Financial instruments** The Parochial Church Council has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Parochial Church Council's balance sheet when the Parochial Church Council becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Parochial Church Council’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.13 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Parochial Church Council is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. ## **1.14 Retirement benefits** Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. - 18 - **ST PETER'S HERSHAM PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.15 Associated Organisations** Associated organisations are St Peter's Fellowship, Little Gems, Walton & Hersham foodbank (The 'foodbank') and Vauxmead Trust ('Vauxmead'). Surpluses/deficits arising from these activities are applied for the key purpose of each. Their accounts are included as a part of these PCC accounts. St Peter's Fellowship is an organization of members of the congregation which undertakes its own fund raising and incurs costs , including charitable donations, pursuing activities in line with the broader purpose of St Peter's Church. The PCC assumes responsibility for the activities of "Little Gems", a playgroup for pre-school children and their carers, raising money by subscriptions for attendance and other activities, including charging for refreshments, arts and crafts and other activities consistent with the purpose of Little Gems. The foodbank is a partner - through the PCC - of the Trussell Trust, whose network provides three days of emergency food to men, women and children in crisis. The foodbank is supported by St Peter's PCC, the Walton Charity and St Mary's and St John's and also by local charitable giving by individuals, other local churches and local businesses. The PCC holds as trustee the land of the Vauxmead Trust for the benefit of young people to use for sports activities. The net surplus each year arising from Vauxmead is available to the PCC for its general purposes . ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the Parochial Church Council’s accounting policies, the PCC members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **3 Donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**
