TROWBRIDGE ST JAMES’ PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022

(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 (25 in total, noting the adjustment below for Chris Hicks and John Joy, who each appear in two categories)

Ex officio

Total 7

Elected members ( max 15. Three-year terms; after six years one year off before re-election )

Co-opted members (max 3 )

PCC Honorary Secretary: Dilys Beckett

Business of the PCC . The Council met for scheduled meetings seven times during the year (11 January, 15 March, 5 April, 17 May, 19 July, 13 September, 15 November). An extraordinary meeting was held on 26 October to discuss the appointment of a part-time Church Office Manger.

Much of the PCC’s detailed work was delegated to committees, whose recommendations are decided upon by the PCC, as follows:

We are grateful for the extra support to help with the responsibilities of the Treasurer. David Wildman manages the book-keeping spread sheet and Mike Perry makes BACS payments to settle our suppliers’ bills promptly. Andrew King keeps the confidential planned giving records.

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.

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 . After the restrictions and precautions taken during the Covid pandemic, it is pleasing to see that most of our church members have been able to join us again to worship in church. Thanks to our committed AV team, livestreaming has continued throughout the year so that our whole congregation and other visitors, whether attending the church building or participating in the service from home, have been able to worship simultaneously. We welcome families to the Tea Time services in church and the monthly Breakfast Church in the hall. The Seekers Team providing activities for younger children during the Sunday morning services now meets in the Lansdown Room. The Christingle and Crib services saw the church nearly full.

The “common cup” at Communion Services has been reintroduced alongside the opportunity to take Communion by intinction. This is appreciated by the congregation.

Serving our Community .

The Open the Book team have a regular programme of school visits and we lead the occasional school assembly. Since arriving, Jake has regularly conducted collective worship at Bellefield, Newtown, and Keevil schools, and it’s been a joy to welcome

We welcomed our new Rector Jake and his wife Nicola and three daughters in September and are especially grateful to the Rev Richard East for his guidance during the interregnum and taking many services, along with retired ministers in the Deanery. With permission of the Bishop, our Lay Worship Leader Helen Pickett was able to offer communion by extension at the Friday morning services.

many of the local schools into St James’ for the main annual festivals. Two of our PCC members are School Governors. Our ministry with children and families led by our Children and Families Worker continues to thrive and two sessions for Mini Melodies and Mini Stay and Play are now run over two morning sessions. Attendance at Mini Church Services on Thursday mornings launched in April 2021 is growing and from these weekly contacts we have seen some families coming to Tea Time and Breakfast Services and the Sunday services.

Our two Commissioned Lay Pioneers Sue Burton and Pam Wort support various activities in the parish monitoring flora in the churchyard and the church’s carbon footprint.

We continue 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. We make some visits to the local residential homes and offer home communions. The Christmas Tree Festival was again hughly successful.

St James’ Civic Role . We welcomed the Mayor to the Civic Service in July. Following the death of Her Late Majesty QE II, there was no service to mark The Battle of Britain anniversary in 2022. The church was filled to capacity with uniformed groups and civic representatives for the Remembrance Day Service conducted by the new Rector who participated in the town’s act of remembrance at the War Memorial in the Town Park subsequent to the service. The church played a part in the Christmas Lantern Parade organised by the Town Council by offering a quiet space to visitors.

Ministry.

We are exceptionally grateful for our ministry team, and especially to those who led worship, served, and organised things during the interregnum of 13 months. Along with a committed team of volunteers, our Youth, Children’s and Families’ Worker Tom Bullock has developed the ministry to young families in creative ways. We appreciate Rev Richard East’s wise advice from his many years in ministry and his preaching. It is a great help to have two Lay Worship Leaders Helen Pickett and Veronica Shaw ready to share in leading Sunday Services.

John Horsey, our organist, leads our Sunday worship with both traditional and modern hymns, supported by a pianist. The band of six or seven plays at the first Sunday morning service of the month.

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 with 40 children attending and under the banner of “Rocky’s Plaice” brought some Bible characters to life.

Under the leadership of Wendy Darwin The Mothers’ Union continues to thrive and boasts the largest group in the Diocese.

On the death of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, a book of condolence was opened in church and a memorial service took place on the Sunday after the State funeral. The bell ringers ran a muffled peal marking the passing of the Queen and another peal announcing the accession of King Charles III; there were also quarter peals for other events and the celebration of the arrival of the new Rector.

St James’ Players performed their Holy Week play, once again, in Church. They were pleased to be back and rehearsing together to bring the play, adapted by Angela Giddings from Peter English’s original script, to the stage after the restrictions of Covid.

Jake Eggertsen was installed as Rector in September. He set out his priorities for the first year (prayer, preaching and pastoral visiting).

Joining the staff team at the end of 2022, Clair Matthews is our new Office Manager, and we’re grateful for her skills and expertise, which has already made an impact on our parish organisation.

Prayer . Prayer is the essential foundation of the life and witness of the Church. Our emergency prayer chain continued to serve us all whenever needed. Prayer for healing is an important part of our ministry; 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 . There are three bible study groups meeting at home or in church every fortnight. They are growing in number and deepening in fellowship. Jake and Nicola have run a short Christianity Explored course in the Rectory, especially to encourage the deeper commitment of new Christians.

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’.

The Youth Fellowship has shrunk in the number of young

people attending but is led by a dedicated team. YF meets twice a month and usually includes games, Bible study, discussion and probably the best hot chocolates in Wiltshire. In December, Nicola Eggertsen agreed to take a lead of the group and plans are being made to relaunch and rebrand YF in September 2023.

Internet and Social Media. Thanks go to Clair Matthews who manages 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31[st] December 2022

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.

3

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.

Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) FRS102 Statement - December 2022 Year End

The PCC of St James Trowbridge participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers.

The Pension Builder Scheme has two subsections;

Pension Builder Scheme

Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.

The PCC subscribes to the Pension Builder 2014 which is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.

7

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2022: £5803.12).

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, the PCC could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.

Interregnum

2022 saw the church in an interregnum period until September 2022. This resulted in some of the Church and income generating activities, that ceased during the Covid-19 pandemic, not restarting during the year. The majority of Planned Giving Scheme members continued with their offerings during the interregnum.
