Business of the PCC . The Council met for scheduled meetings six times during the year (25 Feb, 27 July, 29 Sept, 20 Oct, 8 Dec), one other scheduled meeting having had to be cancelled because of the pandemic. Also, three extraordinary meetings were held, two of which were for deciding about opening the church for worship in the light of regulations. Several of the meetings used remote conferencing technology (Zoom) to enable participation by members who needed to remain at home. Much of the PCC’s detailed work was delegated to committees, whose recommendations are decided upon by the PCC, as follows:

Standing Committee (chaired by the Rector) transacted the business of the PCC when necessary between its meetings subject to the directions of the Council.
Property Committee (chaired by Julian Walker) oversaw the maintenance of the church, hall and other properties, working hard on practical matters throughout the year. The major project in the year was the replacement of the church and hall lighting with more energy-efficient units. We are indebted to Tom Bullock and Michael

Safeguarding and Compliance . Our safeguarding team consisted of our Parish Safeguarding Officer, Anna Pawley, to whom we express our gratitude. During the year, the PCC maintained safeguarding arrangements in line with developing Diocesan guidelines. We hold an Ofcom wireless telegraphy licence for our radio microphones, and licences from Christian Copyright Licensing International Ltd for performance of music and reproduction of music and words. We’re grateful to John Horsey, who administers these for us.

Public Worship . 2020 was dominated by a world pandemic which began in March and continued throughout the year. For the first time ever the Church of England closed its churches for public worship. As a result of pandemic regulations, the church was closed for public worship for 16 weeks from 22 March to 5 July inclusive, and again for four weeks from 8 to 29 November inclusive. Through June and July, when opening the church for private prayer was all that was permitted, we did so every week, and these opportunities were well attended. Despite the restrictions, the ministry team recorded a service every week during lockdown, uploading it to the Internet. Activities for children were emailed to families by the Seekers Team. In much of the first lockdown the services were recorded entirely in people’s homes as even the Rector was not permitted to lead worship in the building. Once that restriction was lifted the ministry team were able to make use of our audio-visual system to record services in the

church, incorporating readings and prayers sent in as recordings by members of the congregation isolating at home. The broadband in St James’ was upgraded ahead of the return to live services in July. This enabled us to live-stream the services so that our whole congregation, whether attending the church building or participating in the service from home were able to worship simultaneously. During the second lockdown in November services were live-streamed from the Church

We are grateful to those who helped us by recordings by members of the congregation isolating at making creative use of the internet during home. The broadband in St James’ was upgraded ahead lockdown, including Richard East for his Maundy of the return to live services in July. This enabled us to Thursday service recorded in St James’ and St live-stream the services so that our whole congregation, Leonard’s, Angela Giddings and the Players for whether attending the church building or participating in their Easter play, and Wendy Darwin for the the service from home were able to worship simultaneously. During the second lockdown in Mothers’ Union walk around Coventry! a November services were live-streamed from the Church building without a physical congregation. Singing in church remained forbidden, and so most of our music had been played from pre-recorded material but we are grateful to our organist and choirmaster John Horsey and to our music group who contributed to our worship whenever possible during the pandemic.

We held a breakfast church between the first and second lockdown and also some live Tea Time services in the building with the congregation sitting in the pews. We even enjoyed socially distanced Christingle and Crib Services in December. We became accustomed to sitting in a socially distanced way and to using hand sanitiser as we entered and left the building, with face coverings being worn throughout.

For the first three months of A big question for us during the year has been, the year we continued to contribute to the well being of ‘What is the Lord bringing about for His Church?’ our community in many ways.

We provided three School Governors and Academy Councillors. Our ministry with children and families got off to a flying start in 2020 with increasing numbers attending Mini Melodies and our Toddler Group, and our team did a great job in adapting our arrangements to accommodate these increasing numbers safely. Our Children and Families Worker continued to provide weekly support to children at Longmeadow School at the start of 2020 and later in the year between the first and second lockdown. During the first lockdown Mini Melodies took place virtually and we provided other online materials, including crafts and song times, but were glad to return to real life activities in the Summer, including open-air Mini Melodies shows, a twoday fun club, and open-air crafts, all with strict Covid-safe measures in place. In September we continued to run Mini Melodies in person (in a new “show” format to accommodate social distancing) and launched a temporary group called “Toddler Hub” to provide Covid-safe activities in place of our usual toddler group. Plans to launch “Mini Church” services for toddlers on Thursdays had to be postponed until 2021.

We continued to support the Storehouse Food Bank and, except from March to September when it was not possible to send a team out, we continued to support the joint churches’ Soup Run twice a month. We take a leading role in the St James’ Trust; one of our members is a Street Pastor, another works in the Debt Advisory Service which we also support financially, and one of our LPAs is part of the Town Centre Chaplaincy.

Our ordinand Katie Jackson set up a buddy system in March where our Lay Pastoral Assistants and a good number of others were allocated a group to stay in touch with and to offer practical help if necessary. In June, when Katie left to begin her Curacy, oversight passed to Marilyn Thomas and the buddy system continued to support everyone during lockdown, including by weekly distribution of CDs and DVDs of our services, or a printed copy of the sermon, for those without internet. The pandemic silenced our bell ringers for most of the year; we look forward to their resumption.

Prayer . Prayer is the essential foundation of the life and witness of the Church. At our weekly Saturday morning meeting in the Rectory we prayed for St James’ and for St Leonard’s. Our emergency prayer chain continued to serve us all whenever needed. Prayer for healing is an important part of our ministry, but our normal practice of offering this at our main morning Communion services had to be curtailed for much of the year for Covid safety reasons. Our benefice monthly prayer diary lists everyone on our Electoral Roll, helping us pray for every member at least once a month.

Small groups are an important part of the church’s life, offering opportunities to grow in friendship, faith and understanding by studying God’s Word together. We’re very grateful to the leaders of our home groups and other small groups in St James’. a

Teaching and Preaching . Our annual “Questions of Christian Faith” course was started in the Rectory in the first quarter of 2020 but was unable to complete because of lockdown. During Trinity we preached through the Gospel according to Matthew, with the home groups studying the same material.

THE PARISH OF ST JAMES TROWBRIDGE

Registered Charity Number 1131370

FINANCIAL REPORT

TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020

Incumbent Revd Dr R Thomas

Wendy Hervin CPFA Honorary Treasurer

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St James’ Parochial Church Council

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 which are set out on pages 1 to 3.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.

As members of the PCC you are trustees and as such are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 the 2011 Act;
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination enables a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 you as trustees 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

Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below.

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:

Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
i. To keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
ii. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31[st] December 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statements

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP (FRS102)).

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.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted Funds – This is the General Fund which represents the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC.

Designated Funds – are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future. Project funds are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Designated funds remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.

Restricted Funds – are those funds that must be spent on the restricted purposes intended by the donor.

Endowment Funds – are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the PCC’s Discretion; the income from the endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted income funds depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established in the first place.

Incoming Resources

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are reliably quantifiable. Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Resources Expended

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed Assets

Buildings – belonging to or used by the PCC are included as Fixed Assets. These are included at insurance values. The Hall, Vestry House, and Cottages are owned by the PCC, although the Diocese must be consulted as to their use. The PCC receives rent and incurs expenditure on some of these properties. This income is included in the Statement of Financial Activity. Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable Church Furniture & Fittings - These are included if:

a. They were acquired by the Church within the last 10 years

b. They have an individual value of at least £1,000.

No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activity and separately disclosed.

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments are valued at market value at 31[st] December.

Covid Pandemic

2020 saw a global pandemic (Covid-19). This resulted in a general lockdown of the country in March 2020 which included churches and their associated activities. For the remainder of the year churches were only open for a few weeks. The majority of Planned Giving Scheme members continued with their offerings and there were a number of generous one-off donations. The hall and car park had very little income but this was partially offset by a saving of staff salaries and other expenses.
