THE PARISH OF ST HELEN BISHOPSGATE WITH ST ANDREW UNDERSHAFT AND ST ETHELBURGA BISHOPSGATE AND ST MARTIN OUTWICH AND ST MARY AXE PCC Annual Report for the yeAr ended 31 Deeember 2022 Straleglc Report objectiv and a¢tlvltles The prirnary objective of all PCCS is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ for th¢ benefit of the public. Oui. church has as ils stated objective to bl'ing glory to God by knowing Him and making Hiin known as we proclaim Jesus Clirisl. The church, as in previous yoats, pursues this objective under three headings. amely "R¢ath out, Build up and Send out" reeching out with the Gospel of Clll'ist to those who would not call th¢mselv¢s Christian. building up believers to rnaturity in Chrisl., and sending people out from lh¢ ¢ongregaiitsn lo serv¢ Christ both in the UK and overseas. The PCC is required to report on the criteria or i)ieasures used to assess su¢¢ess. The Bible teaches us to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesu5 Christ faithfully, clearly and unashamedly but leave the results lo God (e.g. Mark 4). Therefore, although any gospel growtl) is a great en¢ourag¢ment, the succe5$ in achieving the church's aims and objectives is not measui'ed by the number of attendee5 or by gr0h in nuinbers. Rather, the aim of the ministry activities of the church is to seek to provide people with opportiinities to hear the Gospel and to respond in repentance and faith. The PCC assesses success in tem)s of whether this is being undertaken in obedient faithfulness. The PCC se¢ks to assist, support, eneourage, and provide resources for the Rector and staff in promoting the work of r¢aching out with ihe Gospel, equipping the church family to do so, building up Christian and sending out full-time workers into gospel ministry. The PCC has considered the Charity Commlssion's guidance on public beiiefit and. in particular, the specific guidance on chariiies for the advancemeni of religion. The a¢iiviii¢s of the chuich in the pursuit of its aim include Sunday servi¢es, Christianity Explored, Tuesday lunchiime miiiigtry, gospel work at other locations within the City and beyond, Read MaTk Learn, International Growth GTtsUPS, Central Focus, the Partnership. the youih work and Sullday School, other small groups, the Associate Scheme. church planting. Mission Parther support, prison ministry, participation in the City's Street Poslors scheme, and a stay-and-play mums aTbd toddlers group for people in the local coimmunity with young children. All the activities of the church are regulai'ly monitored and reviewed by the PCC against the yardstick of the church's aim and objective. The achievements in 2022 are set out under th¢ heading 'Review of achieyemenls and performance in 2022, below. The activities provide benefit not only to those who are regulglr attendees of the various churcli services, meetings and events, but also to those who work and live in the parish area as well as the other communities in which we serve. The actiYili¢s of the PCC are puisued noijust by members of th¢ ¢hur¢h staff. The church is heavily dependent for 11$ a¢tiviti¢s upon th¢ service of the ¢huith family- and rightly so. It is the essence of gospel partnership that the WO of the church be pursu¢d by the whole congregation of believers and that the leaders of the ¢hur¢h should seek to equip all members of the church family to play their part. It is the aim and intention of the pcc thai the entirety of its fin8n¢ial resources be carefully devoted lo lh¢ pursuit of the church's slated obje¢tive.

THE PARISH OF ST HELEN BISHOPSGATE WITH ST ANDREW UNDERSHAFT AND ST ETHELBURGA BISHOPSGATE AND ST MARTIN OUTWICH AND ST MAR Y AXE PCC Annual Report- Financial Review for the y¢8r ended 31 D¢etmber 2022 Summary of main 4ehievements 2022 was an encouraging year as physical meetiiigs were again tlie maiiistay for ministry. R¢gular giving was at the same level as 2021, but did not meet the budgeted increas¢ of 5 /0. One-off gifts were down 14Yo on the previous year, but alx)ve biidget. Costs iiici'eased Inore thali expeGt¢d becRiise of iiiflatioiiary pressures on staff ai)d utility costs. The lowei. tllan budgeted iiicome and tl)e increased costs resulted in a deficit of £262,389. B¢yond local ministry we gave grants to international Inissioi) partiiers and 5 small UK churches. Bi'iefJ'efleGilons ofoi¢r achievemenls in light ofoui, objLIIv¢s t has been a great joy io b¢ fully back to preQovid pattems of mtnistry aciDss our Sunday sei'vices, our mid-week activities and small groups. and our Sunday School and youth activities. We continue to invite people to join services online where th¢y are still unable to attend in pei%on. Attendance rose at our Sunday services and in our small group bible studies for workers. students and internationals. Our Sunday School and Youtli groups have been eiicouraging and serve not only our own youth, but many from oth¢r churches and schools. The pareiits and toddlers group. and the City Pastors teams have been serving the local Community. The prison ministry has continued to be well re¢eiv¢d by prisoners and bear fluit. We worked with other misgion partn¢rs to launch a new ministry, Asha, to serve those livtng in East London. Wliilst our mid-week ministrie5 in Bishopsgate, North Bishopsgate. Moorgate and CoventGarden five supported by a ¢ore of p¢ople, they are Smaller than they wer¢ pr¢-Covid. This is be¢ause of the mov¢ to hybrid Working patterns for many peopl¢ in the City. We will therefore be experimenting to s¢¢ how w¢ ¢an best serve the many p¢ople whose offices ai based n¢ar us, even if they are not always physic8lly present. Reeent evangelistic events huve shown that there is still an appetite from those who are not yet Christians to hear the Christian message. St Helen's continued to $upport the ministry of St Michael, Cornhill and Si Benet, Paiil's Wharf. Staff members led ministry activiti and servi¢¢s, with their costs covered by St Helen's., volunteer lime was also provided. W¢ supported at fiv¢ small¢r UK churches. These smoll churches are in areas where there is gospel need and oppoitiinily but little resour¢¢. It has been very pleasing to heal. fi'om them that our support to help 'pump pi'ime, growtli oppOrtL111¢s lias boJ'n¢ fruit for the gospel and strengthened the churehes themselves. One part of our 2030 vision is to increase the opportunities we can provide for those who want to train for full-time Christian ministry. We were therefore pleased to welcome an increased number of Trainee Christian Leader5, With ¢ight men and women curirntly on this scheme. Finuncial oiiicomies On the in¢ome Side, the number of regular givers remained stable, though regulor giving dropped by lty/•. But (his was down against our budgei, which plallned foi. a 5Q/o increase. Yet k)gain we received some very significant one-off gifts, in¢ludillg one exceptional gift, in 2022. Tholigh the toial of one-off gifts was down 149/0 v$ 2021, this was 9D/o up against oui. budget. On the expenditure side, the combination of a full rang¢ of minlgtry activities and the imp#¢t of inflation, particulerly on iitilitie5 and ytaff costs, led to an increase in costs of 18Q/, lo a total of £4,298,998. Expenditure ort mission and UK support was up +70/D' Staff related cosis were up +8ty/0,' the running costs of our buildings negrly doubled; we bought n¢w ehairs for the church. ministry activity Cogts rose +80Q/o as events, catering and weekends away were all tn high demand. This was partly offset by increased income in these areos. These dynamics led io an overall deficit of £262,389 to be Covered from reserves. We had plaiined to use £250.000 of res¢ry¢% to support 2030 Vision initiativ¢s around lyaining and n1i5sion. So. after tsking this transfer into account we w¢r¢ reasonably balat)eed. Howev¢r, our one-off gift5 w¢re about £400,000 higher than we would normally expect, so the PCC will ned to ¢lose th¢ gup betw¢en ineome and costs ov¢r th¢ n¢xt couple of years.

As we look forwai'd to 2023. we exp¢¢t these activities to continue. In line with our 2030 ministty vision, we also hope lo in¢rease the number of people in training for future ministry and have budgeted to use £275,000 of our Strat¢gi Reserve to support this in 2023. Re&epwesw)licy Si Helen's Financ¢ Commitl¢e mgnitors reseNes to ensure we have appropriat¢ finaneial resources to continue the church's Ininistry. In 2021 th¢ PCC approved an updated policy which sets both target and mirrimum reserves levels. This is d¢signed to enable us to C4Jvei. te Nnning eosts of the ministry if Ilier¢ is volatility in our gift income. We 2r¢ extremely thankfijl God for all our givetA but understand tl)at some are able to donat¢ on¢¥off gifts of signifJ¢ant valu¢ in one year, but that this may not occur each year. The updoted PCC reserves poli tokes that into account niore specifically by recognising tlie potential volatility of our usual one-off gifts. Exceptional gkft5 set aside for 5trdtegic use are not regarded a5 recurring, and Ih¢r¢for¢ are not included in assessing the Appropriate reserves levels. For 2023 th¢ policy indicates a target reserves level of £1,750,(100, equivalen¢ to 4 months of costs (excluding trading expenditure) plus 50Q/o of one-off gifts received in the pr¢vioiis yeaT. The niinimum reserves level has been set al £1,300,000. equivalent to 3 moi)th5 of costs plus 330/0 of on¢-off gifts received in th¢ previous year. We are thankfijl to God f. his gen'Ous provÉsion of a number of exceptional gifts in recent year5, providing St Helen's with reserve5 in excess of oiir target reserve5 policy. A portion of these excess funds have been set aside by the PCC in a de51gnated fund that is iniended to help finance fvthre ministy ft¢¢d4 overa nuniber ofyears, to support the 2030 ministry visioll. At ihe aid of 2022 St Helen's held unrestri¢t¢d ndS {including designated funds) of £2.910.952. down from £3,154.879 ii) 2021. Restrieted funds were £134,518 {2021'. £158.580). Most balances iii restricted funds r¢preset)t gifts for speeific mÉnistry areas ai)d are expected to be used in the neèr l¢mi, usually less Ihan twelve months. Unrestricted fimds ar¢niainly held in cash deposits and therefore availabl¢ for short-temi use. £24,612 is held in fixed assets and ¢ould not be used at short notice. FiKancial Risks Re¢¢nt at)nouncemen¢s by the House of Bishops olth¢ Church of England have eaiised concem amongst a number of our rinancial supporter5. This include5 some of our larg¢sl 8iv¢rs, who hav¢ indicated that they inÉend to reduce ¢heir giving to Us until th¢ Chuich of England has confirmed appropriate provision lor churches wliich upl)old the traditional teaching of tlie Church of Englaiid. This could cause a significant drop in in¢om¢ in 2023, resultii)g in a deficit beyond that already budg¢ted. Whilst ow r¢serves positioi) is currently robu51, r¢seryes could fall sharply if they are needed to offset a significant drop itt income.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer s¢h¢m¢ as described in Seclion 28 of FRS 102. This means that it is not Possible to attribute the scheme's assets lnd liabilities to specific nployerS and that contributions ait accounted for if the scheme were a defin¢d contribution scheme. This is the position for all but l {2020.. 1) meinb¢r of th¢ cleygy.

Reasonable assuranc¢ is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit ¢onducted in accordance ivith ISAS (UK) will always derett a material misstatenient when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fi'aud or error and air considered material if, individually oi. in tlie aggiEgate. they could reasonably b¢ expected lo influet)¢¢ the ¢eonomi¢ deeisions of users taken on the basis of th¢s¢ fmaneial statements. Irregularities, includiiig fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and I'egulation5.
