Vicar’s Report
If you had not noticed 2020 proved to be an unusual year. It began ordinarily enough with the parish making the usual plans for the coming year: service planning, parish socials, study groups for Lent, Easter plans, what might we do for Petertide this year, holidays and parish pilgrimage to Santiago di Compostela. Epiphany arrived and the arrival of the Magi was celebrated. At Candlemas we had a quiz evening lead by Mr Clive Brand and a lovely hot supper either shepherd’s pie, lasagne, vegetarian chilli with baked potato, and a lovely pud.
All the while, in the news we were hearing of a virus originating in China, spreading though Asia and Australasia eventually appearing in Italy that was killing thousands of people. We began to take precautions at St Peter’s unaware of the full magnitude and implications of this infection until the Archbishops of Canterbury and York requested all churches in the provinces of York and Canterbury close with immediate effect from 24 March. Life changed in so many ways. From the week beginning 16 March the Government issued a ‘Stay at Home’ Order; everything closed except for essential shops. This happened over night and we had to rethink life.
In the context of the parish we wondered how we might keep worshipping and being in fellowship with each other; how we might support each other and our wider community. We continued to be a collection point for Ealing Food Bank. With the skilful leadership of Revd Dr Margaret Joachim we worked with the West London Leaders to provide a shopping support network across Ealing playing some part in supporting the vulnerable. Fr David was in constant contact with the Borough Council through the weekly council/faith leaders’ briefings. Fr Adam lead on maintaining contact with those of our number who were not connecting to our online worship, using telephone calls and texting to keep in touch. Worship moved online. Initially our plan was to live stream to YouTube. However we chose the Zoom Conferencing Platform that allowed us a better pastoral connection with our members whilst allowing us to broadcast worship. As churches closed Fr David elected not to celebrate the Eucharist as we could not gather to celebrate. Instead, we fasted from the sacraments and feasted on the word sharing each week in a service of the word lead from Fr David’s study over Zoom. Revd Margaret also organised a Zoom every evening during the week for Compline. Lead by members of the congregation this proved very helpful and popular. St Peter’s experienced a very different Holy Week and Easter whilst maintaining our pattern of worship. At our dawn service on Easter Day we had a special visitor, the wife of David Scott, priest and poet, whose work we were using in our service. She along with a couple of friends in the Lake District, was delighted to join us and hear his poems being read.

ST PETER’S CHURCH, EALING TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Our Annual Parochial Church Meeting due to take place on Sunday 26 April was deferred under direction from The Bishop of London until October 2020 and all officers were to stay in post. Our administrator was furloughed under the Government scheme and Fr David took on the office duties. Our Church Hall was closed. The Nursery, Yoga Class, Tia Chi, Kumon Maths, party bookings, all closed and our church finances came under immediate strain as income dried up. The world seem to stand still.
Slowly infection rates came down and the population began to breath a little easier. Monday 8 June, under Government and Church direction St Peter’s opened for private prayer. A full risk assessment had been carried out and a full process put in place of how people might enter and leave safely. A cleaning regime was put in place for both the church hall and the church to keep visitors safe and sanitiser was made freely available along with face masks. The church opened Monday – Friday, 9am until 12 noon with a team of Church sitters to aid cleaning and to offer welcome. On Sunday 12 July, kept as our Dedication Festival, St Peter’s opened for public worship and the Eucharist was celebrated for the first time since lockdown. Our liturgy was changed as we could not share the peace or sing hymns and we needed to maintain social distancing. The sacrament was offered in one kind, social distancing was maintained, the altar party severely reduced and masks were worn; it was church but not perhaps as we knew it. Coffee was not offered after church and the congregation were not encouraged to mingle or stay.
A single Sunday Mass was maintained throughout the summer. For the children a new service was developed, Gemstones. This brought together Pebbles and Steppingstones in one service held on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. All services were still being zoomed for those who were unable to attend church in person.
Providing services online presented another challenge. We began using a laptop and a computer camera. This soon proved to be completely inadequate. Fundraising began, a generous offer was made and the Hope Beyond project of Allchurches Trust was applied to and funds came in. Creative Audio Digital helped out with the loan of a splendid camera and a wireless system that transmitted our microphones into the computer and out to out Zoomers. It was a great step forward. It also became clearer this was going to be something we would need to use for some time. Quotes were gathered and CAV won the contract to upgrade our existing system to meet the challenge. We are now putting in a new system and training members of the congregation to use it.
Zoom has also helped us hold our meetings, study groups and prayer groups. Attendance at Sunday worship has remained steady. We have lost a couple of members for now and have gained some others. We have had to think differently and rise to new challenges.
One of those challenges was continuing with our plans for our Harvest Festival. Crafts had been made during lockdown as had large amounts of jam, marmalade and fudge. There was a plant stall to be held and St Peter’s calendars to be sold. Saturday 3[rd] October we held our Harvest Fayre. It was socially distanced with a one-way system around and through the church hall, allowing visitors to browse at every stall before exiting via the hall link and the plant stall. Fr Adam did a marvellous job manging our card reader and encouraging contactless payments. The day raised over £1500 in three hours and everyone had a fun day. On the Sunday we celebrated Harvest with a food collection for the Ealing Food Bank and a cash collection for Water Aid.
Finances at St Peter’s had taken quite a blow. However, members of the Church stepped up to do their best and the congregation raised an extra £20k to support our work. Linda Foster, our treasurer also did a sterling (pun intended) job making grant applications and between these actions we managed to meet our commitments. It is a great thing to be able to say we were also able to pay our Diocesan Common Fund in full.
November saw Lockdown 2. We closed the building to public worship again whilst staying open for private prayer. Our congregation showed great resilience in easily returning to online worship which this time we led from the Lady Chapel. This only lasted a few weeks and we were back in church for Christmas.
iii
ST PETER’S CHURCH, EALING TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Christmas began with a wonderful, zoomed ‘scratch’ carol service on Sunday 20 December. A choir of ten voices came together to begin our celebrations of Our Saviour’s birth with some beautiful singing. For our services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, our administrator, Lesley Brooks, who had come off furlough in September did a marvellous job designing and managing a booking system for our Christingle Service (of which there were two), Midnight Mass and The Mass of the Holy Nativity on Christmas Day. Attendance though down was good all things considered. We had plenty of visitors and no one had to be turned away and we were able to zoom the service. Again all services were on Zoom with the aid of the enhanced equipment from Creative Audio Visual.
We did not have a formal Stewardship Programme in 2020 although one was planned. Instead a regular article was published in a newsletter which during lockdown 1 became weekly until July. Each week the articles explored the many aspects of stewardship. Church members were encouraged to reflect prayerfully on their offering to the church with a view to increasing their gift if possible.
The Mission Action Plan 2020-23 was formally received by the PCC in 2020. However many of the recommendations could not be actioned whilst under Government restrictions. The MAP will be taken up with vigour once some level of normality returns.
The Lady Chapel similarly has been in abeyance. However, Alexander Pridgeon and Fr David have been working on grant applications. Finances have been improved so that as this is written the Diocese have released the necessary papers for us to proceed and we have accumulated £10k towards the works. It is hoped work will begin properly in April 2021.
Thank you.
The Chair’s report is an opportunity to say thank you to several people publicly. It is easy to take people for granted, I hope those who give of themselves to the mission and ministry of St Peters do not feel they are so taken. This is all the more important when we see how people of St Peters have stepped up to the plate in this difficult times.
I want to begin by thanking our churchwardens. A church can operate without a vicar but it cannot operate without churchwardens, so thank you to Trevor, Jane and Richard. Without them the early days of restrictions would have been very difficult to manage and they have kept us organised. They were also instrumental in making sure this year’s Archdeacon’s Visitation, at which we were able to welcome our new Archdeacon The Venerable Catharine Pickford, went without a hitch. Thank you to Lesley, our administrator, who really makes my life so much easier and life in the parish much smoother. Her forbearance as we sent her into furlough and her support as we have made our way through each Tier and Lockdown since her return in September as been invaluable. To Val Stephens who does a huge amount behind the scenes, to our staff team, Susan, Harold, Margaret and Adam. We are truly blessed with such wisdom and skill. Thank you too to Linda our treasurer, an absolute gold mine and gem in our lives; to Ailsa who is growing into her roll of PCC secretary, whilst also learning all about being a new mum. Thank you to our PCC members, Safeguarding Team, Leaders in Pebbles and Steppingstones, our servers, welcomers, choir members, especially Mark James our Director of Music and David Blumlein our Choir Leader, our flower arrangers and Event, Finance and Stewardship, Mission, Buildings and Grounds team Members. Moira Babary and Rosanna Fullerton who run the Ivy Café and have maintained a valuable pastoral link for our Ivy Café members during this pandemic.
The list is wonderfully huge.

Review of the Year
St Peter’s PCC met nine times during the year, as follows:
• 21 January 2020: the PCC discussed congregation members who could be approached to fill vacancies that will soon open on the PCC, or could help with roles in church such as the Servers and Counters, as these teams are very short on members. The meeting received reports from the Standing Committee, the Treasurer on Church finances at the end of the financial year, Health & Safety and news from the Buildings & Grounds committee on a recent work party day.
• 26 April 2020: there was meant to be a meeting on 22 March to receive the accounts ahead of our APCM. However due to the outbreak of Covid-19, the UK government introduced lockdown measures which saw the church closed and PCC and APCM meetings unable to take place in person. While some members of the PCC approved the accounts by email, the committee took the opportunity today to ask the full group for approval as Trustees.
At the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown period, the Bishop of London passed a Bishop’s Measure stating that APCM could be postponed until the quarantine is lifted but should be held by the 31 October, situations allowing. Due to the APCM being delayed, all those PCC and Standing Committee members due to end their tenure at the April APCM are required to remain in their posts until we can hold a meeting. The PCC agreed to a revised cash flow proposal for the year, given the effect of the church closure.
• 20 May 2020: the PCC heard from Linda that £20,000 had been raised so far through our soft fundraising drive, from 17 donations and that because of the donations received, she was able to pay our full Common Fund contribution for the next 3 months, despite having previously agreed that we would pay just 50%, due to restricted income during the Covid-19 lockdown period. Linda also made the application to HMRC for our first grant under their job retention scheme (also known as the furlough scheme) and payment had been received to cover April’s 80% of wages for Lesley. The church also applied for a Heritage Grant for just under £10,000.
The PCC heard that Roderick McLennan, the church architect, had recently reported that tiny holes in the Lady Chapel windows may mean the windows have to be removed totally to be repaired, bringing an extra cost. Fr Adam reported on a new, combined version of Stepping Stones and Pebbles for parents and children, now happening every Sunday by Zoom video call.
• 7 July 2020: the Heritage Fund awarded the church £9800 to support us through the Covid19 crisis. We also received the government Job Retention grant to cover 80% of Lesley’s salary while she was furloughed, which it was agreed will continue until September 1st. The nursery licence was due to be looked at again by our solicitors Jones Day regarding adding additional clauses, including what the effect of another Covid-19 shutdown of buildings would be, but Fr David was still waiting for Jones Day to respond.
The planned pilgrimage, due to take place this autumn, was rescheduled to 19-28 May next year by the tour operator, McCabe Travel. Trevor reported that since the last PCC meeting on the 20 May, church had opened in two stages. The first stage was in the form of opening for private prayer with limited hours, and restrictions around where you could sit/stand and hand sanitiser being available. In the second stage the building opened for Sunday service on 5 July, with social distancing measures in place. Thanks were offered to Fr David & Fr Adam for their hard work in getting safety measures in place.

ST PETER’S CHURCH, EALING TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The PCC heard from the Buildings & Grounds team that a new red noticeboard is now in place at the west end of the church, and a second on the Montpelier Road side. Rob Alvis from Creative AudioVisual Solutions Ltd was due to discuss improving our use of Zoom calls with Fr David, as there were issues with the sound on the Zoom part of our Sunday services. The PCC felt it important to record that compline was a huge success during lockdown.
• 15 September 2020: the PCC heard from Fr David on progress with improving the audio visual system to share Sunday Mass via Zoom. Additional quotations were being sought. Discussion took place around the upcoming Triennial Visitation, and the delayed APCM now due to take place in October. The Events team were focussing on the Harvest Fayre planned for 3 October.
• 11 October 2020: the first meeting of the newly elected PCC. PCC officers were elected.
• 5 November 2020: the PCC sadly recorded the death of one of their number, Keith Win, after a long illness waiting for a lung transplant. The Treasurer’s Report noted that cash balances were still healthy, and we were again receiving rent from the Montessori Nursery, Kumon Maths and the Yoga group, after some breaks earlier in the year due to lockdown and other social distancing restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Jane Campbell reported that the Venerable Catherine Pickford, Archdeacon of Northolt, had made a Triennial Visitation on 12 October which went very well. The PCC also heard an update on Pebbles and Stepping Stones, which are now running as ‘Gemstones’, and is taking place both on Zoom and in person. The Harvest Fayre in October ran 11am-2pm and raised over £1500 for the Lady Chapel appeal. The appeal now has just under £10,000 in the pot and Alex Pridgeon is apply for additional grants. The updated Montessori Nursery Licence has been accepted by the PCC, Diocese and nursery owner, and is now in operation.
Significant Events in 2020
The most significant event in 2020 was the arrival of COViD 19 in our community and the effect that had on the totality of our lives. Special services held during the year began with the Baptism of Christ; the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas) and Ash Wednesday. As from Sunday 23 March (the Fourth Sunday in Lent - Mothering Sunday) Church services went online using the Zoom Conferencing Platform as the building was closed for public worship and private prayer. The Church Community then began to discover ways in which we could maintain contact and fellowship through worship, newsletters, email and telephone calls. We were able to continue our programme of special services if in a very different form; Passion Sunday; Palm Sunday; Maundy Thursday; Good Friday; the Easter Vigil; Easter Day; the Ascension of our Lord; Pentecost and Petertide Celebrations. The building opened for private prayer on Monday 8 June whilst continuing to worship online until Sunday 5 July. From then we were able to celebrate special services in Church together beginning with our Dedication Festival Mass; Harvest Thanksgiving and All Saints. The Nation entered lockdown 2 and worship returned to online, broadcast from the Lady Chapel when we celebrated Remembrance Sunday and Christ the King. Lockdown was eased for Sunday 6 December when we returned to worship in the church building. We celebrated with a Carol Service; Christingle; Midnight Mass of the Nativity; and Christmas Day.
There were no weddings this year, 5 baptisms, no admissions to communion; no confirmations and 5 funerals (1 held in church and 4 held at the crematorium) conducted at St Peter’s in 2020. Ealing Winter Night Shelter was not run in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Safeguarding Report
In an unusual year, the team has continued to meet regularly and has worked hard to ensure safeguarding is at the heart of our community and ministry and our commitment to each other. DBS checks have been made and updated – this came in to its own when the West London Leaders Shopping Programme needed volunteers with DBS checks to help shop for vulnerable people during the first lockdown. Safeguarding training for the team is up to date and the PCC have been offered online training – this remains a priority for the coming year.

ST PETER’S CHURCH, EALING TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Churchwarden’s Report
The Standing Committee consisting of the Vicar, Churchwardens, Treasurer and Secretary met several times during the year to discuss all aspects of church governance and set the agenda for the PCC meetings. The agenda was then discussed with the PCC at their meetings that were held six times during the year.
The church was closed following the national lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic; this was from the 22 March 2020. Our Zoom services began on the 2 April with Compline; and on the 5 April with our Sunday Mass, Gemstones and Evening Prayer. These Zoom services continued with our Easter church services. The church was reopened for public worship and private prayer on the 12 July. Father David has continued a Zoom connection for all shielding parishioners.
The APCM due to be held on the 26 April was postponed due to COVID-19. All PCC members were required to stay in their posts. This was the beginning of Trevor Bates’ third year as churchwarden and Jane Campbell’s second.
Lesley Brooks was put on furlough and Mark James remained in post. He provided us with some fine organ music for our Zoom church services. Father David managed all the office duties during Lesley’s furlough. Lesley returned to the office at the beginning of September.
The Montessori nursery school and other clubs that met in the church hall, had to close during lockdown which resulted in reduced income for the church. Through the generosity of our congregation, and our Treasurer Linda Foster’s judicious planning; we managed to keep the church finances in balance. The nursery school reopened in early July and has continued in the usual pattern for the entire year. The Montessori nursery school has now been granted a licence to occupy St Peter’s church hall.
Our commitment to cleaning the church hall for the children has had to change to meet the new requirements and the hall is cleaned every week day. During the school holidays the cleaners clean the church instead.
The church Inventory detailing the contents of the church and the church hall has been updated for 2020. This includes the Log Book which maintains a record of key items of expenditure.
We have 26 Risk Assessments on file to guide us all into using safe practices during church services and other activities. All the safety checks continued throughout the year and that included the fire appliances, the emergency fire exits and lighting and all the external doors. We did not conduct an emergency fire drill planned for November/December because of the ongoing ‘safe distance’ restrictions amongst groups congregating within or outside buildings. We intend to reinstate the fire drill later in 2021.
Further electrical repair work on the emergency lighting and the external west porch light is being planned for early 2021. All the more accessible external drains and pipe work were kept clear of leaves throughout the year and eventually on the 27th November a professional job was done by I.P.H. Solutions to clear all the drains, valley gutters and the flat roofs, of debris. We have ‘before and after’ photographs of the state of the gutters, the drains and the down pipes. Some down pipes will require attention in the future. The east church boundary wooden fence had completely collapsed and Harrow Fencing erected a wire/metal fence on the 5 February 2021. Both external boundary notice boards and the red pavement ‘Church Open’ sign have been replaced. Creative Audio-Visual Solutions have begun the upgrade of our audio-visual system.
Our deferred 2020 APCM via Zoom was on the 11 October and it was well attended. Richard Peatfield volunteered and was elected to take over as Churchwarden from Trevor who was standing down after such a successful two- and a half years. What a privilege for us all to have benefited from Trevor’s diligence and warmth. He knows how much we all appreciated his ability to think ahead and get things done. Many thanks to Richard for taking over with such enthusiasm. It is especially good to have him as a fellow churchwarden! Due to the pandemic restrictions, Father David was given permission to license Richard and Jane at our Sunday Mass on the 1 November 2020.
vii
ST PETER’S CHURCH, EALING TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
On the 12 October, we had our Archdeacon Catherine Pickford’s Triennial Visitation. Our papers, documents and records were all in order and were made ready for her by Trevor who had sent on the completed questionnaire a week before her arrival. She showed great interest in the building, in our safeguarding policy and in our parishioners who she met after scrutinising all our church registers. Lesley was on hand to help with the elusive files!
The Statistics for Mission Return for 2020 covering attendance and other activities has been completed and sent off electronically.
A very special thank you to Father David, Adam, Margaret, Harold and Susan for spiritually sustaining us during this very exacting year of intermittent lockdown! They have had to determine safe distances in church with sticky tape everywhere so that our two-meter distances were never in doubt. They have organised our disinfection products and routine and opened up the church building safely when it was permitted.
Thank you too to our parish administrator Lesley Brooks and to our very talented organist Mark James and to all our volunteers who have kept St Peter’s open when we were allowed and in such good spirits during 2020.
Treasurer’s Report and financial review
We are very pleased to report that the results for 2020 show a surplus of £23,463 compared to last year’s deficit of £6,338. This was achieved in the face of the uncertainty of the pandemic and the resultant negative impact on our Church Hall rental income and service collections.
Two income steams filled the gap:
-
Special appeals in March/April generated £20,000 in one-off donations – an amazing show of generosity from the congregation!
-
A focus on grant applications achieved two grants from the Heritage Fund. The first was a COVID19 grant of £9,800 received in July to support the church’s ongoing operating expenses in 2020. The second, £14,100 from the Cultural Recovery Fund for Heritage, was awarded in November to support operating expenses through to the end of the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we received £4,055 from the government’s Job Retention furlough scheme.
Ongoing operating costs (utilities, insurance, cleaning, and maintenance) were closely monitored throughout the year and kept to a minimum wherever feasible. The only non-recurring expenditures of any note were for replacement of external church signage (£3,200 – largely funded by donations in 2019), legal fees for the Hall lease (£1,030) and architect fees for the Lady Chapel project (£2,700, funded from monies given to funds given specifically for this project in previous years).
The parish’s largest cost, the £7,100 monthly Diocesan Fund contribution, was fully met, as was the 1% Schools’ Levy payment.
Looking ahead to 2021, we will continue to closely monitor our operating costs, and, as the pandemic permits, welcome back other hall users and recommence service collections. More opportunities will be explored for grants to support special appeals for the Lady Chapel and Organ Restoration Fund.
The reserves from 2020’s surplus will provide a foundation for a more stable and secure financial framework for St Peter’s Church.
This report was approved by the PCC on March 14 2021 and signed on their behalf by:
Revd. David Neno, Chair of PCC

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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 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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. General information
St Peter's Church is an Anglican parish church based in Ealing located at Mount Park Road, North Ealing, London W5 2RU. A description of the nature of the charity's operations and its principal activites can be found in the Annual Report of the PCC.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The 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 the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
St Peter's Church, Ealing meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Expenditure (continued)
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements by section 10(2)(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 accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. For such alienable property there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings or on repair or replacement of church furnishings is expensed within the Statement of Financial Activities
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
No depreciation is being charged on the land and buildings as it is considered immaterial in the context of the financial statements.
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

17. Related party transactions
The aggregate donations given by PCC members in the year amounted to £26,882 (2019 - £32,256).
18. COVID-19
Since March 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses, resulting in an economic slowdown.
The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration of severity of the consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the charity for future periods.
