## **TROWBRIDGE ST JAMES’ PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021** (This document is the companion to the Finance Report, which together form a single report) **Objective.** The primary object of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. In accordance with the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956, the PCC is to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. This parish forms part of the Benefice of Trowbridge St James’ and St Leonard’s Keevil. **Membership of the PCC** (23 in total, noting the adjustment below for Chris Hicks and John Joy, who each appear in two categories) ## **Ex officio** - Rector: Rob Thomas (retired 31 August) - Churchwardens: Richard Clarke, Barbara King - Deanery Synod members: Carol Dix, Jean Potter and Dilys Beckett (resigned 16 November) ( _max 4_ ), and Chris Hicks and John Joy ( _ex-officio, as Diocesan Synod members)_ - Licensed Lay Minister: Marilyn Thomas (resigned 31 August) - Lay Worker Licensed to the Parish: Tom Bullock - Diocesan Synod members: Chris Hicks and John Joy Total 7 **Elected members** ( _max 15.

The Council met for scheduled meetings six times during the year (23 Feb, 30 March, 18 May, 29 June, 5 October, 16 November). Also, two extraordinary meetings were held to review the opening of the church for worship in the light of Covid regulations. Several of the meetings used remote conferencing technology (Zoom) as large gatherings at that time were not permitted. On the retirement of the Rector, it was agreed that Richard Clarke should chair the PCC. A joint meeting of the PCCs of St James’ and St Leonard’s was held on 7 Sept when the Archdeacon came to set in motion the procedures for the interregnum and seeking a new rector. It was agreed that the two churchwardens should be the Parish Representatives in this process. 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) did not need to meet in the year. It transacts 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. Church Cottage No. 18 was redecorated and re-let. A car park management company was appointed to deter unauthorised parking. - **Finance Committee** (chaired by our Treasurer, Wendy Hervin) oversaw the church’s finances and advised the PCC. - • **Accessibility Committee** (originally led by Holly Newton and then reformed as the Accessibility Advisory Group, overseen by Tom Bullock) sought to raise awareness and encourage practical initiatives within St James’ to make us more accessible to those with extra needs. This included an Accessibility Awareness training event, held online due to a Covid lockdown - We are so grateful to Michael Edwardes now in Canada for developing the AV system so at Sunday services all the words of hymns, prayers, readings and responses appear on the screens and can be live streamed. The skills of Tom Bullock and the AV team have become essential to our worship and they are very much valued. **Safeguarding and Compliance** . Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Kerry Davies, to whom we express our gratitude for her advice, training and updating the records. During the year, the PCC maintained safeguarding arrangements in line with developing Diocesan guidelines. A serious incident occurred in December when a child attending Mini Stay and Play with their mother briefly left the hall unsupervised. At the time a lock which formed part of the risk assessment had not been Page 1 of 3 fitted. The incident was reported to the Diocesan Safeguarding team and other authorities who were satisfied with the action we had taken to upgrade security by fitting a magnetic door lock. 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. We are grateful to those who helped us by making creative use of the internet during lockdown, including Richard East for his Maundy Thursday service and Angela Giddings and the Players for their remarkable video production of the Holy Week play. **Public Worship** . The worldwide Covid pandemic which began in March 2020 continued throughout the year with fluctuating levels of infections rates. PCC decided the church should close again after the Christmas 2020 services and did not re-open until Ash Wednesday by when infection levels had fallen. Live-streaming has continued throughout the year so that our whole congregation, whether attending the church building or participating in the service from home, have been able to worship simultaneously. The restrictions on singing in church were eventually lifted, albeit with the recommendation to sing wearing a mask. With adaptations to meet the Government guidance and good practice, Tea Time services were able to resume having been inter-actively streamed. Breakfast Church in the hall also restarted. The Seekers Team provided activities for children to use at home during the live-streamed services when the church was closed, and then used the Lansdown Room for the children to meet and stay in their bubbles. By the time the Christmas season arrived, there was less regard for We have a group of around 10 young people who meet twice social distancing and the Christingle and Crib services a month for Youth Fellowship – which usually includes once saw the church nearly full. for games, Bible study, discussion and probably the best hot We have a group of around 10 young people who meet twice a month for Youth Fellowship – which usually includes once for games, Bible study, discussion and probably the best hot chocolates in Wiltshire. Recently the group met weekly when we ran the CY Course, using materials produced by Christianity Explored. This has helped increase the young people’s awareness of the basics of Christianity and gain a greater understanding of how God’s word revealed in the Bible can be applied to their own lives. Until July, taking the “common cup” at Communion had not been permitted but the PCC felt it unwise to re-introduce it. Although being mindful of the restrictions in Canon Law, it was agreed that the flagons of wine should be consecrated and poured into individual cups in front of each communicant. This has been appreciated by the congregation. ## **Serving our Community** . Our two Commissioned Lay Pioneers Sue Burton and Pam Wort started a drop-in afternoon at the town hall and craft sessions including the Life Explored videos in the church hall, but numbers were restricted by Covid regulations. After the lengthy periods of lockdown, the Open the Book team has been able to go back into schools and involvement in some school assemblies has restarted. Two of our PCC members are St James Young Wives was formed in 1946 and was School Governors and Marilyn Thomas was an Academy then affiliated to the Mothers’ Union. It has also Councillor. Our ministry with children and families led by our been called St James Guild, Young Mothers’ Guild Children and Families Worker continued with adaptations for and Young Wives Fellowship. As other churches Covid throughout the year and latterly the attendance at Mini started Toddler groups and Playgroups opened, Melodies and Mini Stay and Play is high, to the point that both membership declined. The members at St James groups now run two sessions. Mini Church Services on grew older and so it was renamed Wives Group. Thursday mornings were finally launched in April as restrictions Meetings were held in member’s homes instead of lifted and from these contacts we have seen some families the Church Hall. Over the years the group has raised coming to Tea Time and Breakfast Services. St James Young Wives was formed in 1946 and was then affiliated to the Mothers’ Union. It has also been called St James Guild, Young Mothers’ Guild and Young Wives Fellowship. As other churches started Toddler groups and Playgroups opened, membership declined. The members at St James grew older and so it was renamed Wives Group. Meetings were held in member’s homes instead of the Church Hall. Over the years the group has raised many hundreds of pounds for local charities. During the Covid pandemic it became impossible to meet and the decision was taken to cease to be an official church group. The remaining funds were divided between Dorothy House and the Air Ambulance. It is hoped that the group will be able to meet informally from time to time for coffee and chat at suitable outdoor locations. We continued to support the Storehouse Food Bank and have two teams supporting 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 work in the local residential homes had to be halted because of the pandemic, but some visits have resumed. After a gap of a year, the Christmas Tree Festival was again highly successful. **St James’ Civic Role** . We welcomed the Mayor to her Civic Service in July. Because of social distancing limiting the size of the congregation, Bishop Andrew led a pared down Remembrance Day Service in church and subsequently at the War Memorial in the Town Park. Due to bad weather the Christmas Lantern Parade organised by the Town Council could not take place so the church was crammed with lanterns and people and children listening to a Military Wives Choir. The Rector has led the chaplaincy team to Wiltshire Council. Page 2 of 3 **Ministry.** After being with us for 11 years, Rob Thomas retired in August. His Bible teaching has been greatly appreciated and he has encouraged people to exercise many different gifts in service to the Lord. In this time he has supported two in their vocation to full-time ministry and has mentored two curates. We are grateful for our ministry team. We miss the contributions to our worship and Bible study of Marilyn Thomas, our LLM now with Rob in retirement, and Holly Newton who was our Ordinand training in the benefice and now a curate in Westbury. Along with a committed team of volunteers, our Children’s and Families’ Worker Tom Bullock has developed the ministry to young families in creative ways to adapt to restrictions on gatherings. The Revd Richard East has been a tremendous support during the interregnum in giving wise advice and leading and preaching at many services. We appreciated also the ministry of our Lay Worship Leaders Helen Pickett and Veronica Shaw who have shared the leading of Sunday Services since the start of the interregnum. Bishop Nicholas granted permission for Marilyn Thomas and Helen Pickett to conduct Communion by Extension, and they have led Friday Communion services. We are grateful to the retired clergy with PtO who have taken services for us during the interregnum. When singing was not permitted during the pandemic, we followed worship hymns on the screens, but as the restrictions were relaxed we had soloists accompanied by the organ and eventually the congregation was able to sing wearing masks. The response to our annual stewardship review was very encouraging and we are very grateful for everyone who continued to give generously even when the church was closed. In particular we thank God for the regular giving of the 100 current members of our planned giving scheme. John Joy coordinates our pastoral ministry with a team of LPAs and we express our gratitude to them all. The buddy system continues to help those still unable to return to church to keep in touch with St James’ by the weekly distribution of CDs and DVDs of our services, or a printed copy of the sermon, for those without internet, and to offer practical help if necessary. The Holiday Club taking place in the church at the end of July was a great success in adapting to the restrictions with 30 children attending and being amazed by the experiments in the “Wonder Zone.” The bell ringers have resumed ringing and have rung peals on the death of Prince Philip, for Rob on his retirement and other special anniversaries. **Prayer** . Prayer is the essential foundation of the life and witness of the Church. Our faithful small group has continued to meet weekly for 30 minutes on Saturday mornings by zoom when they pray 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 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. We also pray during the week for those parents and their children with whom we have had contact at Breakfast and Tea Time services. **Teaching and Preaching** . With homegroups being unable to meet because of the limitation on numbers gathering together indoors, zoom meetings were initially arranged. Eventually some groups met in church and continue to do so. 70 people joined in the Luke Lent Course. The preaching theme for the period of Trinity was the gospel of Mark. 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’. **Internet and Social Media.** Thanks go to Clair Matthews who has redesigned our web pages to make them user-friendly and keeps the information up-to-date along with our church Facebook page. Helen Pickett faithfully uploads the C of E Prayer for the Day to our Facebook worship space every day. **Benefice Awayday.** It was a great disappointment that we could have neither a fellowship weekend away at Brunel Manor nor a Saturday at Ammerdown Conference Centre with visiting speakers. **Occasional Offices.** Some of our baptisms and all our weddings were postponed because of the pandemic. Numbers of services in 2021 were as follows: Baptisms: 4 and 1 Dedication Confirmations: 2 Marriages: 0 Funerals in church: 5 Funerals (crem, cemetery chapel etc): 8 Memorial services in church: 0 Interments: 1 Burials of ashes in the churchyard: 3 13 April 2022 Page 3 of 3 ## THE PARISH OF ST JAMES TROWBRIDGE Registered Charity Number 1131370 ## FINANCIAL REPORT ## TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021 ## Incumbent - Interregnum 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 2021 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: 1. Examine the accounts under section 145 the 2011 Act; 2. Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 3. 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: 1. 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 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Alan Patmore FCA Patmore & Co Isabella Mews, The Avenue, Combe Down, Bath BA2 5EH** 1 **Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 5[th] April 2022 and signed on its behalf by:** **Richard Clarke Church Warden** **Barbara King Church Warden** 2 **The notes on pages 4 to 16 form part of these accounts.** 3 ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31[st] December 2021** ## **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. 4 ## **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. 5 PAROCHLAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF STJAMES TROYIB￿D0£ Not• 2 INCOMING RE80URC&8 loith•yw•Thdln9 Jl8t D•ethmb•r2021 0•8lgn*•d P•rnian•nl Unr•strlct•d Doslgnal•d RKlfkt•d Endownwnl Endowm•nl Fund6 Funds FuTrd$ FuTrd$ FuTrd$ Tolal Funds 2021 T•tsl FuTrd8 Nol• Volunt•y In¢om• anr￿d GwirKJ'.
