The Parochial Church Council (PCC) 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 with the Charity Commission (Registered No. 1131535). The full title of the charity is The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Dibden. All the 15 named voting members of the PCC or Deanery Synod are Trustees of the charity.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC operates through a number of committees, which meet as required between full PCC meetings, namely:-

(a) Standing Committee
(b) Finance Committee
(c) Fabric, Maintenance & Centre Committee
(d) Churchyard Committee
(e) Employment Committee
(f) Children and Youth Work Support Group
(g) IT & Communication Group
(h) Mechanix Project Group
(i) Coffee House Management Team (the CH is a separate trading company)
(j) Mission Partners Group
(k) Social & Outreach Group
(l) Safeguarding Team

The full PCC met six times during the year. Sub committees, including the Standing Committee, met between full PCC meetings and reported back to the PCC.

Reports are circulated prior to PCC meetings under three headings: Information, Points for discussion, Decisions required. Health and Safety is on each meeting agenda to help us be watchful of any issues. A Safeguarding Team has been set up this year to ensure this vital responsibility is being given the attention it requires.

The major risks to which the PCC is exposed, as identified by the PCC members, have been reviewed and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks.

Objectives and activities

Dibden PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector Rev’d Peter Toller in promoting within the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The PCC has maintenance responsibilities for the fabric and furnishings of the two church buildings - All Saints’ Church, Main Road, Dibden and St. Andrew’s Church, Dibden Purlieu - as well as the St. Andrew’s Centre, the Youth Minister’s house, 2 Corsair Drive, Dibden and 5 Canterbury Drive, Dibden. The latter is let to tenants.

The three main objectives from our Parish Mission Action Plan are:

  1. To refocus our discipleship

  2. To refresh our place of worship

  3. To reimagine our styles of worship.

Plans for the future

There are 2 major projects in hand:

Financial Review 2023

The total income of the parish in 2023 was £373,032, and expenditure totalled £396,385, resulting in a deficit of £23,353 funded from the parish’s cash reserves.

Income – summary

The total income of the parish, £373,032, represented an increase of some 11.5% on 2022 (£334,095). The increase was mainly due to the receipt of a large bequest of £50,000 (in 2022 bequests totalled £10,500). The sources of income are shown in the chart below, followed by a summary of each heading.

==> picture [361 x 218] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----
Income £373,032
Planned giving £152,596
Hall lettings £50,852
Bequests £50,000
Collections & donations £35,989
Gift Aid tax refund £34,998 2023
Wedding & funeral fees £19,979 2022
Interest £10,461
Rents (Corsair & Canterbury Drive) £9,750
Other income £5,143
Grants £3,264
----- End of picture text -----

Planned Giving by church members provided some 40% of the income for the year; the total amount received in this regular way, £152,596, decreased by 2.4% from 2022, continuing a year-on-year downward trend.

7

Hire charges for Hall Lettings increased greatly (up by 25%) from the previous year (2022: £40,649), finally exceeding the level achieved in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic impacted hall use.

Collections and donations (£35,989) dropped markedly (down by 18%) in the year. £24,518 of donations were designated to specific purposes. Church members responded generously to the Easter Gift Day which raised £12,883 after the Gift Aid tax rebate was added in. Half of the Gift Day money was given in equal amounts to support the Waterside Foodbank and the local Crossings homeless project, and half was set aside to support the two church teams planning visits to our Anglican link parish in Rwanda and to the Hope Gardens project in India, both early in 2024.

Gift Aid tax refunds provide an important source of income but, with the drop in regular giving and donations, were down by 6.1% on 2022.

Fees for Weddings and Funerals were broadly similar to the previous year. Statutory Church of England fees make up a large part of this income with a proportion of these remitted to the diocese.

The increase in interest rates on our cash reserves held in Church of England Central Board of Finance deposit funds and the move of some of the bank current account balance into an interest-bearing account provided income of £10,461 in 2023 (2022: £1,430).

The house at 2 Corsair Drive was let until August, and the house at 5 Canterbury Drive was let from August. These provided a net income of £9,750.

Other income includes £2,352 from solar-panel electricity generation and £1,435 of sales and advertising revenue from the parish magazine, News Extra. Lesser amounts were received as contributions towards the costs of social and community events; photocopying for hall hirers; and commission on the sales of art displayed in the Coffee House café.

The parish received grants totalling £3,264, for which we are grateful to the following:

New Forest District Councillors - Community Grants * £ 600 Department for Culture, Media and Sport # £ 2,664

A refund of VAT on bills for listed-places-of-worship repairs to the tower and for the installation of protective grills to the under-pew heaters, both at All Saints’ church.

The annual turnover of St Andrew’s Coffee House Limited, £118,175, is accounted for separately and not include in the above figures.

Expenditure – summary

The total expenditure of the parish in 2023 was £396,385, an increase of 21% on 2022 (£333,157). The increase was largely due to spending on the St Andrew’s chapel refurbishment and phase-one parapetrepair projects. A breakdown is shown in the chart below, followed by a summary of each heading.

==> picture [361 x 218] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----
Expenditure £396,385
Repairs & maintenance £115,035
Diocesan parish share £79,128
Ministry & pastoral care £49,555
Charitable giving £31,868
Administrative costs £31,583
Children & youth £29,828 2023
Buildings running costs £24,416 2022
Utilities £22,625
Equipment & technology £5,912
All Saints' churchyard £2,818
Other £3,617
----- End of picture text -----

Repairs and Maintenance expenditure includes £99,250 spent on the following: some £89,300 for the chapel refurbishment and phase-one parapet repairs; £4,037 for a gate and fencing to the car park at All Saints’ church; £2,820 for a new toilet at All Saints’ church, which was kindly funded by a church member’s donation; £2,856 to instal safety guards on the under-pew heating units at All Saints’ church.

The Diocesan Parish Share accounted for some 20% of expenditure. It is the parish’s contribution to the Diocese of Winchester’s Common Mission Fund (CMF), most of which, around 70%, goes to pay for the training, stipends, pension contributions and housing of the clergy, including our own rector, with the rest supporting diocesan and wider church administration. Following the General Synod vote in February 2023 on same-sex blessings, the PCC resolved to reduce our monthly contribution by 30% from May 2023 with the result that our contribution in 2023 was 22% less than in the previous year. At the year end the retained CMF contribution totalled £19,782.

Expenditure on Ministry and Pastoral Care comprised the salary costs of our associate ministers, the costs of outreach such as the Alpha and Kintsugi Hope courses, the Ukrainian support group and the Warm Space we provided in January, February and March 2023. It also includes the costs associated with weddings and funerals which are fully recovered through the fees included in income.

Charitable Giving is made up of a tithe (one-tenth) of the monies freely given to the parish (£19,690) plus money given for special collections, or in response to charitable appeals. More details are given in notes 6 and 7 of the annual accounts. In addition, the expenditure item Children and Youth includes charitable subscriptions to Compassion UK (£384), Urban Saints (£252) and XLP (£120). Administrative Costs are a proportion of church-office staff time, plus insurance, printing and other costs essential for the management and operation of the two churches.

Building Running Costs expenditure paid for the cleaning, caretaking and administration of the St Andrew’s church and centre. Rooms are used every day of the week for church groups and community activities, with increased occupancy in 2023.

Children and Youth costs of £29,828 increased from last year (2022: £6,329) with the appointment of a full-time Children and Youth Minister in March. Costs associated with the Mechanix course, run once again in 2023, are included in this figure of £29,828. Mechanix course expenses of £2,959 (2022: £1,174) were paid out of grants from earlier years set aside for the project together with a donation of £500 from the Esso Petroleum Company; funds of £6,077 are carried forward for projects in 2024 and beyond.

Utilities’ costs for heating, power, water bills and waste collection were slightly less (-2%) than in 2022. Although there was an increase in the unit costs and standing charges for gas and electricity, the parish was able to reclaim the higher rate of VAT and the Climate Change Levy which, as a charity, it should not have been paying on these bills for several years previous. The credits, totalling more than £14,000, offset what would otherwise have been an increase in overall cost in 2023.

9

The costs of caring for All Saints’ Churchyard of £2,818 were some £2,000 less than in 2022; they are largely for grass cutting and tree surgery to keep the churchyard amenable and safe.

The expenditure for the running of St Andrew’s Coffee House Limited in 2023, £123,175, is accounted for separately and not include in the above figures.

Investments

2 Corsair Drive was transferred in the balance sheet from Investments to Freehold Land and Buildings in August 2023 at a value of £400,000 when it ceased being a rental property and instead provided accommodation for the Children and Youth Minister. 5 Canterbury Drive became a rental property in August 2023. Accordingly, it was transferred from Freehold Land and Buildings (valued in the accounts at the 2009 cost of £176,478) to Investments at an open-market revaluation of £300,000, an increase of £123,522 on the 2009 cost.

Outturn for 2023

The net result for the year was a deficit of expenditure over income of £23,353, funded from parish cash reserves. The gain from the revaluation of 5 Canterbury Drive gave an increase in funds of £123,522, bringing the total funds balance at the end of the year to £1,864,621. This figure includes Restricted Funds of £21,374 which the PCC may spend only on the specific objectives for which they were given. Further details on Restricted Funds are given in note 14 of the annual accounts. Endowment Funds currently stand at £62,500, being money received which is invested and the interest used for the upkeep of All Saints' Churchyard. Endowment Funds are on deposit with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least six months unrestricted budgeted payments. At 31 December 2023 this was equivalent to some £202,000 for the first six months of 2024. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow, to provide a buffer against unexpected loss of income and meet unexpected major expenditure so that we can fulfil our responsibilities for others, including employees. The cash balance held on unrestricted funds at the year end, with recognition of the outstanding amounts payable to and by the PCC, was some £318,000 which more than adequately meets this target.

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 1 May 2024 and signed on its behalf by Revd. Peter Toller (PCC Chairman).
