THE PARISH OF ST HELEN BISHOPSGATE WITH ST ANDREW UNDERSHAFf AND ST EfHELBURGA BISHOPSGATE AND ST MARTIN OUTWICH AND ST MARY AXE PCC Annual Report for tht y¢4r ¢nded 31 Dec¢mber 2021 Strategie Report Objectives and acllvllles The primary obj¢ctive of all PCCS As the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ for the benefAt of the public. Our ¢hur¢h has as its stat¢d objective to bring glory to God by knowing Him and making Htm known as we pro¢laim Jesu$ Christ. The ¢hur¢h, as An previous years, pursu¢s this obj¢ctive under thr¢e headings, namely "Reach ou¢, Build up artd Send out" r¢a¢hing out with the Go$p¢l of Christ to thos¢ who would not call themselves Christian. building up believer$ io Marity in Chrigt. and sending people out from the congregalion to serve Christ both in the UK and overseas. Th¢ PCC is requir¢d to r¢poii on th¢ ¢riteria or m¢asur¢s used ¢0 ass¢ss $u¢cess. The Bible teaches us to proclaitn th¢ Gospel of our Lord Jesu$ Christ faithfully, ¢leorly ond unashamedly but leave the r¢sults lo God(e.g. Mark4). Therefore, although aoy gospel growth is a grea¢ en¢ouragem¢nl, th¢ su¢¢ess in achi¢vin8 ¢h¢ church'5 aims and objectives 15 not tneasured by the numl)er of E4ttende¢s or by growth tn ttumbers. R4th¢r. Ihe akm of th¢ ministry activities of the church is to seek to provide people with opportunities to hear the Gospel and lo respond in rep¢ntaÉice and faith. The PCC assesses succ¢ss in ternis of whether this is being undertak¢n in obedient faithfulness. The PCC seeks to assis( support. en¢ourag¢. and provide r¢sour¢e5 for the Re¢tor olld $tsff in promoting the work of rea¢hing out wlth th¢ Gospel, equlpping ¢he church family to do so, building up Christians, and sending out 11-ll1c workers into 8osp¢l ministy. The PCC I considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular. the speclfic guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The activities of the thur¢h in ihe pursuit of its aim include Sunday services. Christianity Explored. Tuesday and Thursday lunchtim¢ meeting4 go$p¢l work at other locations Wlthin the City and beyond, R¢ad Mark Leom, C¢lltro1 Focus. the Partnership, the youth work and Sunday School. other small groups, th¢ Associat¢ Schem¢, ¢hur¢h planting, Mission Partner supp)rt. prison ministy, and a stay-and-play mums and toddlers group for p¢opl¢ iti the lo¢al ¢itrmmunity with young children. All the activities of the church are regularly monitored and revi¢wed by th¢ PCC against the yardstick of the church's aim and objectiv¢. The achi¢v¢m¢tsts in 2021 are set out under the heading 'Revicw of achi¢v¢m¢nts and performanc¢ in 2021, below. The activities provide ben¢fit not only to those who are regular att¢nd¢¢s of th¢ vorious ehureh services, meettngs and events, but also to those who work and live in the parish area a5 w¢ll as th¢ oih¢r ¢ommulliti¢s in which we serve. The a¢iiviti¢s of the PCC are pursued not just by members of the church Staff. The church is heavily dependent for its a¢liYities upon the s¢tvice of the church family- and rightly so. It is the ess¢n¢¢ of gospel partnership that the work of the church be pur5u¢d by th¢ whole congr¢8ation of believers and that the leaders of the church should seek to equip all m¢mb¢rs oeth¢ ¢hureh family to play their part. It is the aÈm and intention of the PCC that the enlirety of ils financial r¢sour¢¢g be Carefully d¢voted to the pursuit of the ¢hur¢h's sthted obj¢ctive. COVID-19 In 2021 the ongoing disruption from th¢ COVID-19 pandemic ¢onlinu¢d ¢0 gffe¢t the activities of the ¢hureh. We were however enabled to continue m¢¢ting publi¢ly for gathered s¢Ni¢es and did so safely in line with COVID regulations. We also continued to provide servi¢¢s onlin¢ for ihose unable lo attend in person. Sin¢e September 2021 we rtrestsblished the full range of midweek me¢tinRs and r¢-em¢rged from the pandemic ready to serve London with the gospel of J¢sus Christ. There has been an encouraging flow of new people exploring the Christian faith joining us regularly al services. FI4¢1&1 review The fancial review set out on pag¢s 7-9 forn part of this PCC Report.

We continue to serve Ihose who cannot attend physical meettngs through our online activities Despite the unusual GimstanCeS regular giving h¢ld up w¢ll. at the sam¢ l¢v¢l as 2020 Th¢ pattern of usual one-off gifts continued, wlth gifts slightly up for the yeAr, up £60,000 We received two ex¢¢ptional gifts during the year. One was a particularly large single donation. the other was a significant legacy. The exceptional portion of the gifts totalled £1.200,000. We plAn to use these to invest in medium-tern) ministy opportunities in line with the ministry vision S¢tting aside these signifjcant gifts we had a deficit on usual ministry activlties of £56.255 • After including th gifts. and transfers to oth¢r funds, we had a svrplus of £1,143,745 • We supported mission partners overseas and gave grants to five smaller UK churches rief rejlecOns of &ehlÈvemenls IM Ilghl of our objeertves The Christtan faith is intended to be lived in a family almosphere where sisters and brothers in Christ See each other face to face to worship learn, pray, silPPOrt and encourage one another, and w¢lcom¢ oih¢rs. So, it has been a great joy to progressively restore normal ministry adivities. as lockdown restri¢tion8 hav¢ ¢8sed. Since the autumn of 2021 we have been able to restart, in person. small group bible sdIe week¢nds away, and caterin& well as seeing incr¢asiEJg numbers at our s¢rVis. This increa8¢d a¢tivkty show$ up ill our fmwicial accOullt with an increased cost of I IY•, as costs rose back towards 2019 levels. Our Sunday and midweek ministy has bounced back in tem)s of numbers of people attending Sunday s¢rvic¢s and in the bible study 0upS for W0erS, Sdents and intemationals. In the aulumn of 2021, we launched an additional Sunday morning service in order to Serve better fomili¢s with younger children, wh¢ther regular attenders or enquirers into the Christian faith. Our offsit¢ mid-week ministries in North Bi$hopsgate.

We took the opportunity of the 60th anniversary of the current generation of the ministy to reflect on what the Lord 15 calling ui to do in the next decade - our 2030 vision. This reconfimied many of the ¢uffent mini5ty focus are&s.

THE PARISH OF ST HELEN BISHOPSGATE WITH ST ANDREW UNDERSHAFT AND ST ETHELBURGA BISHOPSGATE AND ST MARTtN OUTWICH AND ST MARY AXE PCC Annual Report- Financial Review for the year ended 31 Deeember 2021 Flnonciol ouleontss On the tncome side. regular giving was stable, rising by 1%. and the nutnber of Tegular givers remained stable. We received some very significant one-off gifts in 2021. Th¢ usual pattern of one-off gifts ¢onlinued, with these gifts up 6Yo compared to 2020. We also re¢eiYed two exceptional gifts. one donation and one lega¢y, from members of ihe church family. We allocated a portion of these gifts to support day-lo.day ministry, but set aside the majority of th¢ gifts to invest in some new ministry opportunitie5, in line with the 2030 ministry vision. In 2022 this will help support an additional cohort of Trainee Christian Leaders, training for 11 time Christian ministy. The funds are thown in the accounts as a new Strategic Reserve designated fibnd. On the expenditure side, restoring mony of ournomial ministy activities led to an incre8se in costs of I l•/o, as costs rose back towards 2019 levels. After allocating £1,200,000 to the Strategic Reserve, and £25.126 to cover a deficit in Restricted Funds, the Totsl Net Movement of Funds (Unrestricted Funds) wos a deficit of £56,255. This WAS a very pleasing outcome for a year that continued to see considerable disruption from Covid, especially in the rst part of the year. CoNilnNliig ihe work The generous fll)ancial support for the ministy during the year enabled us to wntinue a wide range of a¢tivities under our strategy of.. Reach Owl.. Through involvement of our members and $tsff in workplaee4 ¢ollege4 local communitie4 and churches locally and further afield. Build Up." Through our regular programme of services, small groups. prayer meetings and other a¢tiviti¢s. W¢ also continued to run programmes to train thbjre Christian workers. Send Out.. We eoniinued our support for international mission parlnm in Europe, Afric8 ond Asi8 and made grartts to fiv¢ small UK ¢hur¢hes to help them grow new ministries. As we look fojivard to2022. we exp¢cttO 5¢eth¢5¢ a¢livilies ¢onlinye. In lin¢ with our2030ministy vision, we also hope to in¢r¢as¢ the numb¢r of people IA training for minAsty, and have budgeted to use £250,000 of our Strdtegic Reserve to 5UPPOrt this. Ro¢rvespollcy The St Helen's Finance Committ¢¢ monitors r¢$¢rv¢s to ¢nsure we have appropriate fmancial resources to continve the church's ministy. During 2021 the Finance Committee reviewed the reserves policy and the PCC has approved an updat¢d policy whi¢h sets both target and minimum reserves levels. This is designed to enable us to cover future rnnnyng c051s of th¢ ministry if there is volatility in our gift income. We are extremely ihankfvl Éo God for all our giver4 but understand that some are able to donate one-off gifts of significant Yalue in one year, but this may not occureach year. The updated PCC reserve5 policy thkes that into accowit mor¢ spe¢ifiettlly, by recognising the potential volatility of our usual one-off gifts. Ex¢eplion81 gifts set aside for 5trdt¢gi¢ use are not regarded as recurring> and therefore are not included in assessing the appropriate res¢rve5 levels. For 2022 the policy indicates a target reserves l¢v¢l of £1.750.000. ¢quival¢nt to 4 months of costs (excluding trading expenditure) pl 50% of one -off gifts received in the previous year. The minimum reserves level has been set at £1,300,000, equival¢nt 10 3 months of Costs plus 33V/oof onfroff gifts received in the previous year. Weare thankfulto God forhis generou$ provision of a number of exceptional gifts in recentyears, providing St H¢l¢n'$ with reserves in excess of our targel reserves policy. A portion of thes¢ excess funds have been 5¢¢ &sidt by th¢ PCC in a designated fund of £1,200,000. It is int¢nd¢d this will h¢lp fJnan¢e futur¢ ministy ¢ed4 oyer a number of years, to support the 2030 ministry vision. At th¢ end of 2021 St Helen's held unrestricted funds (including design0¢¢d fvnds) of £3,154,879 (2020.. £2,011,134) and restricted funds of £158,58012020.' £140,366). Most balances in restricted fiinds represent gifts for specific ministy ar¢a$ and are expe¢tedto be used in the nearterni, usually less than twelvemonths. Unrestricted funds 8re fflaiftly h¢ld in cash and cosh deposits and therefore available for short-term use. £29,284 is held in fixed assets and collld not be used at short notice.

Mlntsiry Support Eypendliure Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Alloeullon of eKpeMdilure Support costs have been allocated to the different categorie5 of expendire a¢¢ording to the estimated stafytime involvcd andlor costs incurred. It is not considered appropriate to allocate support Costs r¢laiiMg to wt]t-making activities separately from those relating to other church activities. The allocation of support ¢osts is shown in N¢ 8. Gov¢rnoAee eosts Oov¢manee costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of th¢ charity and its compliance with r¢gulation and good practice. These costs include the 5tatstory audit and l¢g&l fees together with any relevant apportionment of overhead and support costs. In accordance with FRS 102 th¢se costs have been included within the overall support costs shown in Note 8. Allocdllon of GOTHaN¢e costs Given th¢ slated objectives and activilies ofihe PCC. and both the indivisible nature of the church's activitie5 os well as the relative cost of goveman¢e to these a¢tivilies. il is not considered appropriate to allocate governance costs across the a¢livities of the church. Governance costs are in¢luded in support costs in Note Pe10 Costs Dejlned Comtrlbuilonsschen St Helen'5 provides a ¢ontributory defmed contributions scheme for its ¢mploy¢es and the contributions payable in respect of servi¢¢ during th¢ y¢ar ar¢ expensed accordance with S28.13 of FRS 102. Deflned Beneflts Scheme The stipendiary clergy ai St Helen's are members of the Church of England Funded Pension$ Scheme (CBFPS), a defmed benefits 5chem¢. The scheme is administered by th¢ Church of Ensland Pensions Board. whith holds the assets of ihe s¢h¢me s¢parately from those of the participating responsible bodies. The scheme is ¢on5id¢red to be a miilti-employ¢r s¢heme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This means that it is not Possible to attribute the scheme's ossets and liabilities Èo specific employers and that Contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defthed Contribution scheme. This is the position for all bul l (2020.. 1) member of the clergy. For the purpos¢s of tbe scheme. Si Helen's is Dot ¢onsfftder¢d to be the responsible body for the majority of its clergy be¢ause it does not directly employ ihem and their cost of employment, including p¢Dsion contributions. are recharged to il by their ultimate employer. which is ¢onsidered to be their relevant re5ponsiblE body. For these members of the ¢l¢r, the pensions costs charged to the Stslement of Financial Activitie5 in th¢ year are the contributions Yable towards benefits and exp¢n5es ac¢ru¢d in that year. For th¢ r¢maining member of the clergy. Sl H¢len's is the responsible body becau5¢ It pays that member's pension ¢ontributions directly lo the Sche¢. A$ a result of this and in respect of thai m¢mber only, St Helen's is r¢quired, under S28.1 IA of FRS 102, to acwunt for its share ofany deficit liability that the scheme may have by carrying that liability on its balance the¢t athd accounting for changes in that liability through the Statement of Finanoial Activiti¢s. To date, the PCC has not in¢luded this liability in its financial stat¢m¢nts because its amount is immaterial. The PCC monitors the materiality of th¢ liability annually and will ac¢oun¢ for tt under Section 28.1 IA of FRS 102 as appropriate. Further d¢tails are given in Note 9 14

As reported in ihe 2020 a¢¢ounts, the fund had not previougly been utilis¢d for several year5, bul in 2020 the decisiorj was taken to appiy it to late, unbudg¢l¢d expenditur¢ i)n th¢ rerb]Shm¢nt of St Andrew incurred in 2018. in line with the appeal's original purposes. In 2021 there were no projects to which the fund ¢ould be applied but it continues to be held to support fvture church- planting opportunities The East End Outreach Fund.. The purposeofthis fvnd is to spread the Gospel in the area around ils Shanlir Boi bookshop situated in the East End. Although the operation of the bookshop was again curtailed for part of 2021 by Covid-19 restrictions, outreach opportunities continued to be taken with more meetings being held in local hired premises. In 2021, Ihe fi]nd again operated at a deficit whi¢h, at £42.700 was significantly larger than that incurred in 2020, £4,900. Thi$ deteriorntion w8S the result of both r¢duc¢d income and increased ¢o$ts. This meant th&t at 31 De¢ember 2021 the balon¢¢ of th¢ thnd was a deficit of £25,019, which had to be covered by a transfer from the General Fund. Offsite ministries.. Covent Gorden Talks. Paddington Tall(s and North Bithopsgate. As expected, the r¢movo1 of CtsvAd-19 restrictions in 2021 resulted in on expansion of the Covent Garden and North Bishopsgate ministries. In the case of the Covent Garden Talks, an additional member of staff was allocated to that ministy to support the increased activity, which, together with a small reduction in income, resulted tn a deficit of £10,000. The nd was still in surplus at the end of the year. In the case of North Bi5hopsgat¢, income inrreased by c. £10,000 oyer 2020. which largely ¢ov¢r¢d th¢ cost of th¢ member of staff allocated to it as the ministry expanded> producing a surplus of nearly £9.000 and ¢nsuring that the fund remains sn surplus. The Paddington Talks, which are run in collabordtion with St Stephen's. Westboume Park. continued to be held online for nearly the whole of 2021, hence the very small ¢ost a¢tually recorded in the year. In 2022, meetings will be held in person.

The fund returned a deficit for the year of c. £2.300 but the balance remains in surplus. Mandarin MinisDy fvnd.. Sl Helen's continued to support this important ministry. For the second half of the year, lh¢ ¢ost of the sthff who are engaged in this ministy was repassigned to ihe general fimd $0 that ¢OSts were brough¢ more into line with reduced donation4 which fallen significantly froTn previous l¢vels in 2020. In late 2021. the position improved with th¢ re¢eipi of a 8ubstantiaL one-off donatio which meant that fund recorded a surplus of c. £3.400 and remained in sU[uS a¢ the end of the yeor. London Gospel Partnership: the London Gospel Partnership Annual Cot)ferenc¢ and Preaching Conference did nottake place in 2021, a8 itdid io 2020, butone will be held in 2022.

As expected, the level of income in 2021, was much lowerthan in 2020. Exp¢ndithr¢ would have been quite modest, had the decision not been taken to spend £4,000 on developing the LGP websiie ahead of the 2022 conference. Despite this exceptional C05t, there wa5 5ti11 a surplus in th¢ year, enabling the fimd totske £6,200 forward into the 2022 ci)nfer¢n¢¢ Media Fund: In 2019, the PCC was fortunat¢ in reeeiving a substantial donation from a donor who was keen to help St Helen's to manage and expand ils m¢dia r¢sour¢es- a large library of audio-visual gospel tolks - on its website, to develop an app to allow mobil¢ a¢¢¢si io ihat librory and to create more audio books. Work in these areas continued in 2020 and most of th¢ r¢maining balance in the fund was opplied to the cost of that work.
