Church of England operating under the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956
as amended and Church Representation Rules.| |---|---| ||Corporate Body| ||All PCC members are charity Trustees, the majority being elected by
those on the Church’s Electoral Role at an Annual Parochial Meeting
held before the end of April each year. Others are members and
Trustees by virtue of their position in the Parish or by election to the
Lichfield Diocesan Synod.| March **2012** **TAR** 8 ## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: - policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; - the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; - relationship with any related parties; Newly elected PCC members are introduced to their role as Trustees of a registered charity and members may attend Diocesan training events applicable to their roles. All issued with ‘Trusteeship: An Introduction for PCC Members’ published jointly by The Archbishops’ Council and the Charity Commission. The Lichfield Diocesan Office offers high quality, professional advice to PCCs. During the pandemic, meetings were reduced in frequency and mainly held _via_ Zoom. **Safeguarding training** for the members of the PCC was completed according to the requirements of the Church of England and an appropriate register is maintained. No safeguarding issues were raised during the year - trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. ## **Section C Objectives and activities** The PCC’s principal function is to promote in the ecclesiastical Parish the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical). We try to enable people to live out their faith more effectively through the Diocese’s Four Primary Purposes of:  Worship and Prayer - Evangelism and Outreach - Teaching and Nurture - Social Justice and Care **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** **document** In doing so, we provide a benefit to the public by:  Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for our members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers: and  Promoting Christian values, and service by members of the Church in and to the community, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. To facilitate this work it is important for us to keep the fabric of our parish buildings and the condition of the grounds in good order. In planning our activities, the PCC trustees have been aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in _The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit_ and have had regard to it in the administration of the Charity. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these Worship and Prayer** The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to **objects (include within this** worship in our churches and to become part of our parish community. **section the statutory declaration that trustees have** We are fortunate to be able to enjoy a wide and flexible programme of **had regard to the guidance** liturgical worship, within the Catholic tradition. Including: **issued by the Charity Sunday services Commission on public benefit)** 0800 Holy Communion (BCP) St Francis 0930 Parish Mass & Children’s Church St Francis March **2012** **TAR** 8 ## **Weekday services** Morning Office 09:00 Morning Prayer (Mon to Thurs) St Francis Evening Office 17:00 Evening Prayer (Mon to Thurs) St Francis Tuesday 09:30 Mass St Francis Thursday 19:30 Mass St Francis Saturday 09:30 Mass St Francis (Advent & Lent only) Other devotional acts of worship take place depending on the liturgical season e.g. Stations of the Cross during Lent. Occasional services, meetings of the Cell of Our Lady of Walsingham and other activities are held and promoted. An annual Christmas Nine Lessons and Carols service has now been resumed. Weddings, Funerals and other rites were as arranged. Baptisms are held at 14.00 on Sundays or at any Sunday Mass. Confessions are heard by arrangement. All such activities were conducted in accordance with the Bishops’ Guidelines. ‘ Owing to the pandemic, worship activities at the School have not yet resumed. ## **Teaching and Nurture** Following on from the pandemic, we have been able to resume our parish educational activities, with our usual Lent course. Our Advent course, however, was markedly unsuccessful, with a drop-off in attendance, which was due to the impending Christmas festivities. **Evangelism and Community Outreach** **The Beacon parish magazine –** published monthly in-house and widely distributed across the parish community. The PCC decided that the magazine would be distributed by post, free of charge, to all who wished to receive a printed copy for the duration of the pandemic. Each edition would be available electronically to those who prefer to receive it in that format. Following the end of the pandemic, the PCC decided to resume the normal, paid, pattern of delivery. Local companies and individuals publish adverts in the magazine. Fr David has used the **Beacon** parish magazine, through a series of monthly articles, to help the community and congregation to meet the challenges of the present crisis, as well as by providing articles on appropriate Christian topics. Occasional articles on other topics are contributed by members of the parish. **The parish website** – previously kept up to date, has suffered from the resignation of the previous webmaster and a replacement format is currently being considered, as too much technical knowledge is required for the current format. **A Church Near You** , maintained by the Church of England, is currently acting as a temporary replacement. Plans have been commenced with a view to replacing our current website with a more user-friendly version, permitting regular updating, though these are currently on hold, as the PCC lack the technical knowledge to fully investigate our requirements **Holy Evangelists Church** has been closed since January, due to maintenance issues. The initial problems, caused by water ingress due to the theft of lead from the roof, were finally resolved at the end of the year. However, further work is needed to replace rotting floor timbers at the side (disabled) access. A Faculty application to allow this work to be completed has been submitted. However, as the floor is unsafe and as this door constitutes our fire and emergency access, the church March **2012** **TAR** 8 remains closed for worship, with all services taking place at St Francis’ in the interim. ## **Social Justice and Care** We continue to support the work of **The Children’s Society** and **World Vision.** We actively promote the work of **Christian Solidarity Worldwide** , as well as that of **Christian Aid.** ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **St Clare’s Church Centre** continues to be run as a venue for a range of classes and groups. The primary group to hire the hall is a dance group, which runs classes for both adults and children. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: The facility is run by the PCC, with minimal involvement from the vicar. Day-to-day running of the Centre is dealt with by the Administrator. We have successfully obtained a series of relatively small grants from the local authority for the refurbishment and enhancement of the facility. This has permitted the PCC to continue to make the facility available for hire to community groups and, owing to the reduction of council services, makes a welcome contribution to the social life of the area. - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 8 ## Section D Achievements and performance We have continued to live out the Christian Faith in this part of our local **Summary of the main** community and have remained supportive of our many ventures. The **achievements of the charity** pandemic caused a reduction in our activities and attendance. However, **during the year** now that the restriction have ended, numbers are slowly beginning to return to normal. Our activities have now almost entirely resumed their normal pattern, with a successful Burns’ Supper and Walsingham Pilgrimage having been held. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 8 **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** We have no cash reserves at present. Our previous investment account with HSBC has been wound up and the assets transferred to CCLA. This has successfully generated extra money for our reserves. It is the PCC’s policy to closely monitor the performance of these investments. At Normacot, we received a substantial legacy, which has been invested with CCLA and continues to provide growth. However, owing to the terms of the legacy, these funds are restricted and are presently paying for the repair works to the church. **Details of any funds materially** None. **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Aside from giving, our primary sources of income are from the letting of our premises and from the investment funds. Expenditure has been directed to the support of the charity’s aims, including the maintenance of buildings, the support of worship and the employment of a Benefice Administrator on a part-time basis. A very generous legacy (£70 000) was left to the Benefice to be spent at the discretion of the Vicar for the spiritual benefit of parishioners at Normacot. So far, this has been used to cover transport costs to enable those at a distance to continue to attend church services at St Francis’ and to fund the cost of the repairs at Holy Evangelists’.. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** > **Signature(s)** David McHardy > **Full name(s)** David William McHardy > **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Vicar & Chairman of the PCC **etc) Date** 29th October 2023 March **2012** **TAR** 8 Receipts and Payments Accounts Year ending 31st December 2023 **Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot** Charities SORP (FRS 102) **Approved by the PCC on ………………..and signed on their behalf by ……………………………..(PCC Chairman)** |**Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot**|**Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot**|**Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot**|**Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot**||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |

The attached notes form part of these financial statements **Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot** ## **Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** ## **Accounting Policies** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Charities SORP (FRS102). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.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 main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. ## **Cashflow Statement** The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000. ## **Descripton of Funds** **Restricted funds** comprise of two elements :- a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. **Unrestricted funds** are income funds which are to be spent on the PCC's general purpose. **Designated funds** relate to monies being held within the General account but which are set aside by the PCC for a particular purpose. ## **Receipts** Planned giving, collections and 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 legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. ## **Payments** 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 is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. ## **Assets retained for Church use** Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2) (a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. ## **Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot** ## **Notes to Financial Statements for Year Ended December 2023** |**Income and Endowments from:**

The attached notes form part of these financial statements **Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot** ## **Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** ## **Accounting Policies** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Charities SORP (FRS102). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.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 main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. ## **Cashflow Statement** The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000. ## **Descripton of Funds** **Restricted funds** comprise of two elements :- a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. **Unrestricted funds** are income funds which are to be spent on the PCC's general purpose. **Designated funds** relate to monies being held within the General account but which are set aside by the PCC for a particular purpose. ## **Receipts** Planned giving, collections and 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 legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. ## **Payments** 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 is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. ## **Assets retained for Church use** Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2) (a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. ## **Parish of St. Francis Meir Heath & The Holy Evangelists Normacot** ## **Notes to Financial Statements for Year Ended December 2023** |**Income and Endowments from:**
