St Andrew’s Backwell Trustees Annual Report 2020

2020 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Andrew’s Church, Backwell

Aim and purposes

St Andrew’s Parochial Church Council [PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, the Reverend Catherine Garner, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship and to become part of our parish community at St Andrews. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, we had considered the Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we had planned to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:-

Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.

Missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. Andrew.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Prayer

The PCC working with the Rector planned to increase our monthly Fresh Expression services, known as Andy’s to weekly from September 2020, but with the Covid lockdown in March 2020, all plans were put on hold. The Church was closed as per government and Church of England instructions.

The Benefice moved to pre-recorded services on You Tube, very quickly various members of the congregation were taking part, plus recorded contributions from the choir and orchestra. Evening services and Morning prayer were conducted on Zoom, both these times of worship had higher numbers attending than previously in person, and a new bible study group started and has thrived after Wednesday morning prayer.

The PCC decided to re-open the church for private prayer twice a week as soon we were able under government guidelines in June.

At the end of July we returned to worshipping in church as well as the You Tube service, we followed social distancing and organised entry, with an average of 40-50 worshipping in the building each week, the service time was moved to 11:15 am. In September, plans were revived to make Andy’s a weekly service, and as the school (where they previously met) would not rent their building, services started at 9:30am in the church with around 50-60 people, including children.

In November, with new restrictions, live services were suspended, but as cameras had been installed, the Andy’s service was streamed and the main service was on You Tube.

At Christmas, there was a new initiative of a toddler’s service and a communion for those who were shielding. Children’s crib services were cancelled because of health risks due to numbers involved and Covid case increases. Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning eucharists were celebrated in church, but with restricted numbers

St Andrew’s maintains good links with other churches in the benefice, namely St Bridget’s Church, Chelvey and St Nicholas Church, Brockley (which is administered by the CCT), and we value the personal contacts that we have with them.

St Andrew’s continues to support our village church school, although on a more remote basis than in normal times, there have been no school services in the Church, but classes have been held in Church House when there was building work on the school site.

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 230 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, a proportion of whom are not resident within the parish. 10 were added during the year and 4 were removed through death. The average weekly attendance, as per the Annual Statistics Return for the Church of England, counted during October when we had services in the church building, was 91 adults and 20 children. There were no large festivals or services celebrated in the Church building this year. Our You Tube Sunday service has an average of 198 views per week.

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through Baptism we thank God for the gift of life. In Marriage, public vows are exchanged with God's blessing given and in Funeral services, friends and family express their grief, give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and commend the person into God's keeping. This year we have celebrated1 baptism and 2 weddings, and have held 13 funerals in our Church this year. Clergy also take services at our local crematoriums for parishioners.

Deanery Synod

Five members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. One member of our PCC is also on the Diocesan Synod which links us into the national church structures. These meetings have continued via Zoom

The Church and Church House

The Buildings and the Goods and Ornaments of the Church are maintained to a very high standard by some contractors, which has continued despite Covid restrictions.

Tina Soper has continued to clean the church and Church House, although the latter has only been used a few times over the last 12 months.

Lockdown has had a major effect on activities, with the Quinquennial survey deferred and contractors not able to work, but we did complete the replacement of the old wooden doors at the south entrance and our thanks to Rev Katy for her input on their decoration. We have had visitations from a lighting Consultant and an Electrical Contractor, both recommended by our Architect to provide initial guidance on a £40,000 spend in the 2021 Budget for rewiring and lighting/heating improvements. Developments elsewhere in the church’s congregational arrangements have delayed action on re-ordering and Vision aspirations until later in 2021.

Thanks to the endeavours of Doug Neilson and Anthony Stansfield as well as the processing skills of Vanessa Colley the Video equipment installation has provided an excellent method for Church Service recording and the future purchase of a hand-held camera will enhance this ability.

Our thanks also to Richard Standing for ensuring that many of the annual tasks have been performed in difficult circumstances as well the installation of additional coverings to the Lightning Conductor protection, the replacement of all nave and chancel light bulbs with LED versions and his critical input in ensuring the output stabilization from the PV panels.

In the absence of any major activities, we currently have the following under review

John Lee

Pastoral Care

In January 2020 the group consisted of 6 regular members who met prayerfully, supporting parishioners by visits, telephone calls and home communion. March 2020 brought the pandemic and swift action to do things remotely. Our response to Covid 19 has included:-

Within 10 days of the first lockdown announcement 15 volunteers telephoned 225 people from St Andrews church family checking on welfare, giving information about local Covid support for shopping and prescriptions, creating an email list for weekly worship or hard copy where required.

By May with an extended first lockdown we entered phase 2. The team geographically ‘zoned’ the entire church family with callers in each area so that by June 52% percent of the church family were committed to receiving regular calls. We are so grateful to our callers past and present, without them this scheme would be unworkable.

The pastoral Coordinators Heather Bailey and Barbara Harland (together with Joan Rowe until recently) have met monthly on zoom with Revd Katy to review the list of those sick, vulnerable or in need. Of course where it is appropriate, Revd Katy is herself involved in caring for those needing pastoral care.

Throughout 2020 we have worked alongside the Village Covid Response committee offering ideas, prayerful and spiritual support beyond the St Andrews Family, liaising with Parish Councillors and The Meeting Point. Also just prior to Christmas we called 50 people who had been shielding to check on their Christmas arrangements, practical support and to invite them to a special Christmas service. We do have some capacity to increase regular calls where this is requested.

Mission and Evangelism

World Mission. Although communications with our link church in Zambia have been patchy during the year, we are aware of a number of changes there. A new deacon has been installed to replace Fr Edwin Zulu and major repairs have been carried out on the church of St Andrews, Chipulukusu, with photos provided to show progress. After our visit to Zambia in 2018, we began a joint project to raise funds for the Boys Brigade brass band to buy their own instruments (instead of hiring them). This has now progressed so that we jointly have sufficient funds to buy a number of instruments and our contribution has now been sent to Zambia. Photos have been promised! Although no visits have been possible in the last year, efforts are in hand to re-invigorate the link across the Diocese.

Global Justice. We are currently in the midst of our annual review the list of charities we support from St Andrews for the 2021/22 year. A deeper engagement with our chosen charities may be possible which would tie in more closely with the focus across the Diocese. The response to an appeal from The Sisters of the Church for warm clothes and other goods at Christmas was wonderfully supported and they were very grateful. In light of the pandemic, the chance to make a positive contribution to others in return for our own vaccinations (the BOGOF scheme) has been wonderfully supported, for which many thanks. More on this will appear in next year’s report. Traidcraft goods have been available throughout the year, and thanks are due to all those who ordered at Christmas time. We expect high demand for Easter eggs this year.

Presence in the Village. Although we stopped delivering t he prayer cards during the year due to the very low response level, we continue to pray for the whole community road by road in our weekly prayer list. The phone box display in the Christmas season this year featured a giant star and some positive messages to lift us in an unusual season. We missed the chance to sing carols around the village at Christmas, but our recorded carol service included representatives from across the community. Our website and social media have been really important for communications this year, but we would welcome the formation of a Communications group to take this forward.

Christian voice on the environment. The solar PV panels on the church roof have finally benefitted the Church financially as well as being a tangible demonstration of our commitment to environmental improvement. The work of the group to establish a rating under the EcoChurch scheme has stalled during the year, but we hope this can be resumed during the present year.

Martin Canning

Ecumenical Relationships

St Andrews, as a member of Christians Together in Backwell, has held joint services with the other churches throughout the year, including the Women’s World Day of Prayer, Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and the Remembrance Day service, as well as united services in Holy Week and Lent Groups. Through this we also work with the other churches on items in local papers promoting Christmas, Holy Week and Easter services of the churches.

We also maintain links with the Church of England churches that form the Coombe Local Ministry Group, uniting for Lent Groups and an annual study day. The clergy maintain bi-monthly meetings which offer support and encouragement.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is, whether in the maintenance of our building or in the administration of the parish, and in our worship.

Financial Report

  1. At the end of 2020 our capital compared with a year ago was: -
Unrestricted
End 2019
£132,939
End 2020
£143,183		 Restricted

£514,874
£547,758		 Combined
£647,813
£690,941

  1. During 2020 we were delighted to receive a legacy of £5,300 from the estate of Sidney Cox and an anonymous gift of £20,000. Both are unrestricted. These amounts are included in the unrestricted capital figure at the end of 2020.

  2. At 31 December 2020 our CCLA Investment holding was valued at £634,450 compared with £594,521 at the end of 2019. In 2020, 421 shares were sold realising £20,000. Despite a large fall of over £98,000 in the value of the fund in March 2020 due to the effect of Covid -19 on the world markets and the sale of the shares, the value of the fund has still increased by over 7%.

  3. The remainder of our funds are lodged in a deposit account with CCLA and our current accounts with NatWest Bank. During the year the account with West Country Savings & Loans was closed as we were getting no return on the money invested.

  4. Our regular income from collections fell by over 75% and fees dropped by 60% due to the Covid-19 restrictions. This was compensated partially by reduced expenditure on running costs.

  5. The Furlough Payment Grant has helped substantially towards paying the employment costs of our administrator and cleaner.

  6. We also received a small grant from Western Power which was put towards the cost of streaming and recording church services.

  7. For some time now our Fabric expenditure has been drawn from our Restricted Funds. Full details are shown on page 7 of the Accounts. The largest expenditure was for the installation of the inner glass doors at a cost of £6,396.

  8. Churchyard expenditure was supported by trust fund income of £1,841.

  9. In 2020 our Parish Share, due to reduced numbers, was slightly lower – at £89,509 compared with £90,009 in the previous year. We also received a Benefice Allowance of £2652 in 2020 compared with £3,436 in 2019. Taken together this amounted to a net increase in payments of £284.

  10. Charitable giving from PCC funds remained at the 5% level amounting to £3,754.

  11. Our deficit for 2020 on the unrestricted funds was £2,315. Without the benefit of the legacy and donation mentioned in para.2 above, the deficit would have been £27,615.

  12. Due to the continuing excellent performance of the CCLA fund the value of our unrestricted capital at the end of 2020 was well maintained. However, the value of investments can go both up and down we cannot rely on the CCLA fund to cover our deficit.

  13. The problem of our expenditure exceeding our regular income has been ongoing for a number of years and needs to be addressed. It is quite unreasonable to rely on legacies and large donations to pay for our day-to-day expenditure.

  14. For 2021 our Parish Share and Benefice Allowance are set at £86,044 and £2,797 respectively; the net amount being £83,247 – a 4% reduction compared with 2020.

  15. Our 2021 budget on Unrestricted Funds shows a deficit of £20,910.

Lesley Barratt -Treasurer

Restricted Reserves Policy

Our Restricted Reserves, derived mainly from legacies, are very substantial (£514,874 9 at end 2019). Our policy is to ensure that these reserves are well invested, on short call with the CCLA, review

Unrestricted Reserves Policy

These Reserves, again mainly derived from legacies, amounted to £132,938 at end 2019. Our policy is to hold a reserve of a minimum of 9 months current expenditure (estimated at £110,00) but in practice we look beyond that in planning stewardship campaigns because these reserves are being significantly eroded year by year to supplement our income which falls seriously short of our current needs. Again, subject to cash flow requirements, these reserves are invested with the CCLA.

Legacies

Allied to our Reserves policy is our policy relating to Legacies. We sensitively invite legacies and where a prospective donor has no particular purpose in mind for the use of such a legacy, we would encourage prospective donors to state that monies so willed should be used by the PCC at their discretion.

All other policy documents can be found in the POLICY FOLDER held in the CHURCH OFFICE and available for inspection.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Andrew’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our Rector), Churchwardens, the Readers and those members elected by members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

The full PCC met 3 times since the last APCM in October 2020 with an average level of attendance of 80%. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship, mission and outreach, young people, Fabric and Finance, are all responsible to the PCC and report back

to it regularly with minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary.
