## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY WITH CHRIST CHURCH FOLKESTONE**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
**___________________________________________________________________________________________________________** The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014 as amended by Bulletin 1.
Where necessary for context, this report also reflects the work of the Trinity Benefice, of which Holy Trinity Church is a member.
## **Aims and Purposes**
Holy Trinity PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, within the Trinity Benefice, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church building of Holy Trinity Church, Sandgate Road, Folkestone, and the church hall at the same address. “This section reflects the work of The Trinity Benefice, of which Holy Trinity Church is a part and should be read with that in mind”.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to drawing as many people as possible into worship at our church, and to working together with individuals and organisations in the community for the common good and furtherance of our common goals and values. The PCC maintains an overview of worship, outreach, ministry and mission. When planning activities for the year, consideration is given to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish through: Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus, provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish, Missionary and outreach work.
## **Public benefit statement**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and, in planning future activities.
## **Worship Prayer and Mission**
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Each Sunday a service of Holy Communion is celebrated at 8am, whilst at 10.30am there is a service of Holy Communion (sometimes followed by healing ministry). Evensong is sung every Sunday evening at 6.30pm.
There is a regular weekday communion service on Friday at 11.30am. Morning Prayer is said in the church at 8.30am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. All weekly term-time services for pre-school children together with their parents or carers, previously held at Holy Trinity Church, have been amalgamated with the other churches within the Trinity Benefice and are now held at St Paul's Sandgate.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life, including Baptism, Marriage and Funeral services. During 2021 there were 6 Baptisms, 11 Weddings, 1 Wedding Blessing, and 4 Funerals with an additional 11 funeral services taken at crematorium. It will be appreciated that the above activities have been curtailed during the year because of Covid-19 restrictions.
## **Vicar’s Annual Report 2021 by Revd. Bob Weldon**
Again as I said last year, a difficult report to write is we still face some stiff challenges.
## _**Ministry Team and Pastoral**_
I am privileged to lead such a magnificent ministry team, who again have had to take some difficult funerals. I am pleased to say that we have commissioned two new Authorised Lay Ministers. Another minister has reached the final interview stage of the discernment towards Ordained Ministry. Bishop Rose commissioned two Anna Chaplains in our Benefice. These have a pastoral ministry towards people with challenges, particularly older people. We have been able to run a café club each month called The Twirly Club. As well as our wonderful ministry team, so many have done so much to support others. Our church community has lived out a community spirit as sisters and brothers.
## _**Community Events**_
We have been blessed to have been able to run many community events which have been well attended for a good crosssection of the Benefice and other welcomed guests. One of the highlights was Bishop Rose giving the address at our Benefice Breakfast in December. We were able to send £500 to the Bishop’s Advent Justice Appeal. We owe a great debt of gratitude to those that made this happen.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
**_________________________________________________________________________________________**
## _**Services**_
Whilst we have been able to offer a full range of services this year, sadly a great number are still a bit concerned about attending church. Their views are to be respected. Each church has done a great job to keep the environment safe. We have conducted many joyful weddings and baptisms, many of which are catch-ups from 2020. Sadly we have also conducted many funerals.
## _**Income and Expenditure**_
The decrease in attendance has affected our income, and expenditure continues to rise. We all really care about our church buildings and that is evident from the many conversations I have had.
## _**Those who have gone before us**_
I find this section so hard to write. We have lost so many wonderful brothers and sisters who were stalwarts of our three churches. Sadly we were able to only offer a recorded service for “Those who have gone before us”. I am pleased to say that on Sunday 16[th] January, 2022, we can again offer a live service. What has come across to me is how much we love and care for each other.
## _**External Matters**_
Around September 2020, Napier Barracks was opened to house refugees. We have been able to offer a chaplaincy service at the Barracks, and run a drop-in centre at St Paul’s church hall, Sandgate. I am grateful for the support of the community. I believe we are really answering God’s Call in the matter.
## _**General**_
Fiona and I will shortly have completed six years in this ministry, and we still feel privileged to be here. Let us continue in the same wonderful way supporting each other.
## **Financial Review 2021**
Income for the year amounted to £84,740 (2020: £109,999). Expenditure for the year amounted to £101,962 (2020: £116,607). This resulted in a deficit of £17,222 (2020: £6,608). Restricted funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to £13,672 (2020 £12,476) relating to legacies and donations for specific purposes. Designated funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to £202,422 (2020: £165,547) and relate to funds set aside for future expenditure. Unrestricted funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to £49,143 (2020 £104,436).
## **Pay policy for key management personnel**
The trustees consider the board of trustees as the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the PCC on a day to day basis.
## **Plans for the future**
Projects agreed or under consideration for 2022 and beyond include further improvements to security of the church building and further major repairs recommended by the quinquennial report. The church building will require substantial reroofing within the next few years. Initial surveys have taken place and steps are being taken to raise the necessary funds.
## **Reserve Policy**
It is the desired policy of Holy Trinity Church PCC to keep £50,000 in reserve for unforeseen emergency repairs to the fabric of the building. Unrestricted funds including designated funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to £251,565 (2020: £269,983).In addition the PCC will set aside £2,000 annually to cover quinquennial costs, to be ring-fenced within the Quinquennial Sinking Fund. The PCC is also committed to giving an additional sum to Mission which will not exceed the total interest received on the Legacy Fund.
## **Major Risks**
The PCC reviews the activities of the parish and considers the major risks that may arise from time to time. The major risks identified in the process have been assessed and satisfactory systems established to mitigate the risks. The PCC will continue to review the risks on an on-going basis.
Owing to the temporary closure for public worship by the Church of England of all its churches arising from the Covid-19 crisis, giving and other income have continued to be curtailed during the early part of 2021. Covid-19 is likely to continue to have a significant impact on the finances of the charity. In 2021 it was again necessary to use reserves to cover the loss of income and for the future a number of measures are being put into place to restore and improve income from giving, hire of buildings and all other sources and fundraising events. The trustees are of the opinion that these measures are sufficient, taking into account the current level of reserves, for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless we are confident that our substantial reserves are more than sufficient to finance the income shortfall in the medium term. Please see note 1.7 to these financial statements.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY WITH CHRIST CHURCH FOLKESTONE**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 13
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ("the Regulations") and under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no such concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are committed to drawing as many people as possible into worship at our church and to working together with individuals and organisations in the community for the common good and furtherance of our common goals and values. The PCC maintains an overview of worship, outreach, ministry and mission.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 as amended by bulletin 1 and the Financial Reprting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 and the UK Generally Accepted Practice effective from 1 April 2015
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## **1.2 Funds accounting**
Unrestricted Funds represent funds of the PCC that are not subject to restrictions regarding their use. In particular these consist of the General Fund which is used for the day to day purposes of the PCC and that part of the Legacy Fund which is not restricted by the terms of individual wills. Funds designated by the PCC are also unrestricted.
Restricted Funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restriction arises when specified by the donor, or a will, or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The Designated Fund balance has been represented to ensure that fund balances stated accurately reflect the designation policy adopted by the trustees.
## **1.3 Income recognition**
- All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met and it is probable that the income will be received. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- Voluntary income including donations, collections and gifts is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Planned Giving is recognised only when received.
- Recovery of Gift Aid tax relief is recognised to the extent necessary to match with its related income.
- Rental income from letting or hire of church and hall premises is recognised when the letting or hire takes place.
- Investment income is included when receivable.
- Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the legacy, the executors have established that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the control of the charity.
## **1.4 Expenditure recognition**
- All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs to that category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
- Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
- Exceptional costs are one off costs that are not of a normal recurring nature.

## _**Other Fixtures Fittings and Office Equipment**_
Equipment used within church premises is written off in the year of acquisition.
## **1.6 Tax**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes
## **1.7 Going concern**
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. This assessment has been made in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. Covid-19 is continuing to impact on the finances of the charity. The recent relaxation of Covid related restrictions has presented the opportunity to restore income as normal usage of church buildings returns. Further measures are being planned for the restoration and improvement of income from all sources, including regular giving, donations, hire of buildings, musical events and all other fundraising activities. The trustees are of the opinion that these measures are sufficient, taking into account the current level of reserves, for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
- **1.8 Judgements and key sources of information uncertainty**
