ALL SAINTS CHURCH PCC MICKLEOVER
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Receipts and Payments basis. All Saints Church is situated in Etwall Road, Mickleover, Derby. It is half of a joint benefice with St John the Evangelist, Mickleover. All Saints is part of the Diocese of Derby within the Church of England. The correspondence address is All Saints Church Centre, Etwall Road, Mickleover, Derby, DE3 ODL.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
All Saints PCC (together with the clergy) are responsible in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the grade II* listed church building, the churchyard and the adjacent church centre. To that end, we encourage people to attend public worship in person or on zoom, whether on Sundays, other days of the week or through the pastoral offices such as baptisms, weddings and funerals and to join various home groups which meet mid-week. We recognise that the church building is important to long term residents of Mickleover and although we are not able to open the church every day, we do make the building open to visitors on Wednesday mornings subject to Government Covid 19 restrictions as we wish to encourage people to visit the church for private prayer, contemplation and to enjoy the interior of our historic building.
The PCC has referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the PCC's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the PCC has considered how planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives that it has set.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Church attendance.
Following the revision of the Church Electoral Roll at the time of the annual meeting in October 2020 (delayed due to Covid19 restrictions from April 2020) the Roll stood at 151 (79 residents, 72 non-residents).
The Church of England has encouraged churches to work out the size of their regular worshipping community (alongside usual Sunday attendance). At December 2020 our worshipping community stood at 200. Review of the year There were six ordinary meetings of the PCC during the year, four of which were on Zoom. The average level of attendance was 70%. Committees met between meetings and the results of their deliberations were received by the full PCC, discussed and decisions made where necessary.
Review of our life and objectives for 2020
During 2020 our activities were severely curtailed due to Covid19 Government restrictions. However, despite these being in place, we successfully worked on the following objectives:
-
On 13th and 14th of March 2020 we held ajoint[(with][St][ Johns][Mickleover)] 24[hours] away weekend[with][the] Revd Jason Kennedy at the Hayes in Swanwick with the theme ‘Growing a Church for Today'. The themes of the talks were Flourishing Church, Everybody Welcome and, Talking Faith for Ordinary People;
-
in mid-March 2020 through a chance conversation, an offer was made to create an online radio 30-minute worship service for Derby Community Radio. Because the radio broadcasts over the internet, the numbers of connections through people tuning in could be ascertained, and these were upwards of 500 throughout the year and at its peak were around 900. This radio broadcast is recorded in church every Saturday morning for broadcast on Sundays and Wednesdays;
-
from Easter 2020 we started offering a single morning service of the word using Zoom. This brought All Saints and St John the Evangelist congregations together and around 50 - 65 people join every week.
-
in July, when national Covid19 lockdown restrictions were lifted, we offered an opportunity for private prayer on Wednesday mornings, following completion of Risk Assessments, involving names being recorded for track and trace and 2 metre spacing of congregants in the pews;
-
also in July, we started offering a said service of Holy Communion for up to 30 people each Sunday morning;
-
in early November we recorded the annual service of remembrance with assistance from the Army, the local branch of the RBL and a bugler from the Salvation Army. This was broadcast on Remembrance Sunday;
-
we also hosted 2 Silverhill Hill School staff and 4 pupils to record an assembly for Remembrance where we remembered to 'remember', focussing on telling stories of family members experience of war time;
-
in late November we followed up from the weekend in March with Jason, with an initiative called ‘Setting God's People Free’. In discussions between the two churches and with Jason, 4 inspiration groups were set up namely: engaging the outside world, deepening fellowship, developing leadership and communications and IT. These groups were composed of people from both churches. Their work is supported by a group specifically called to pray, and their ideas will be fed to a focus or big picture group;
-
the regular early morning prayer group continued to meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings on Zoom;
-
we continued to work on the second phase of a scheme for the internal re-ordering of the Church building by removing pews and offering them for sale. We also investigated the suitability of the Trench Arch drainage system for effluent from the toilet, by doing a standardised percolation test which the ground passed;
-
in January 2020 Gascoynes Heating Engineers removed the old 30 year old Church Boiler and installed a new gas boiler which is situated in the Priest's Vestry;

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE- continued
-
we tried continuing to offer Messy Church on Zoom but this was not successful. Instead, we have kept in touch with the families through delivering materials for the children to use to engage with harvest and Christmas;
-
Who Let the Dads Out? started in September 2019 on a monthly basis on the second Saturday of the month. This continued on Zoom and 2 families have come faithfully to this;
-
we continued to work on Parish Safeguarding. 66 people in the church now have a DBS and have undergone online training so there is a much-increased awareness in the congregation about safeguarding issues and an understanding of how to report concerns. The Parish Dashboard is in use and has been the main means for the PCC to keep track of safeguarding compliance.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial overview
Total receipts on funds for the year were £133,720 with unrestricted funds totalling £90,474 and restricted funds £43,246 as detailed in the Receipts and Payments Accounts. The total of resources expended amounted to £106,048 of which £104,321 was unrestricted and £1,727 restricted. The Church made a surplus on total funds of £27,672 (income over expenditure) in 2020 of which unrestricted funds had a deficit of £13,847 and there was a surplus of £41,519 related to restricted funds. £35,000 of the restricted surplus was from grants for the internal reordering project.
Total funds as at 31 December 2020 were £112,949 of which £67,432 related to unrestricted funds and £45,517 to restricted funds, after a transfer of £180 form unrestricted to restricted funds.
The efforts made in the latter part of 2019 to eradicate our previous years’ deficits, resulted in increased giving, higher church centre rental income and reduced costs, enabling the PCC to agree a balanced budget for 2020. The first quarter of 2020 saw the budget being met and at the end of March ordinary income and expenditure was in balance. Since that time the church finances have been severely impacted by Covid 19 closures or restricted opening of the church and the church centre.
Income from March onwards was down, and every effort was made to reduce expenditure to mitigate. Despite all the issues the faithful regular giving of the church family has remained steadfast and strong throughout. Some giving patterns have changed, more people now donate via bank transfers, but despite the periods of total church closure and restrictions we have regularly received cheques and cash payments in respect of envelope and regular giving. The result of this has been that if you compare regular giving (including gift aid) for 2020 to 2019 it is up 2%. The other income impacts, year on year were church centre bookings down 69% and PCC fees for weddings and funerals down 36%.
The restricted income of £43,246 related mainly to funds for the internal reordering project. Fund raising started in the new year and we very quickly received donations of just over £4,000 (£5,000 including gift aid). We drew down our previously agreed £25,000 grant from the Raymond Ross fund and were successful in an application for a grant from the Zochonis Trust. We continued to receive donations throughout the year, including a number for the pews that we have removed from the north aisle and advertised on our website. At the end of 2020 we have £67,000 towards the project, £42,000 in restricted funds and £25,000 in general unrestricted funds (see note in reserves policy).
Several cost centres saw savings in line with reduced activity and church closure/restrictions. Wages costs have reduced since the youth worker furlough and later Jonathan moving to a new role. Church insurance looks up sharply, but this is due to how the payments have been structured, annualised costs are only marginally higher. 2020 expenditure had three major items, the replacement of the church boiler (referred to earlier in the report) costing £9,904, the purchase of a new photocopier/printer costing £2,896, and architects’ fees relating to the preparations for the reordering project of £1,706. The new photocopier/printer replaced the one we had previously had on a lease arrangement over five years. Including the lease, ink, toner and maintenance this arrangement was costing £2,623 a year. The new device reduces the total annual costs (including the purchase) over an equivalent five year period to £1,100 a year.
Excluding the income from fund raising and grants, and the costs of the boiler, and architects’ fees (the extraordinary items) ordinary income and expenditure was just over £3,000 in deficit for 2020.
All Saints' requested contribution to the Diocese Common Fund reduced marginally from £64,113 to £64,090. Following our approach in 2019 we have offered and paid £51,000 in 2020, a 2% increase on our previous year's contribution in line with the diocesan budget increase. We intend to maintain payments at the same level in 2021.
Our budget for 2021 (set in November 2020) forecasts a potential £7,000 deficit. This was arrived at assuming a "normal" year of activities and expenditure, but assuming some disruption to income until normality returns. It is our intention to review giving and fund raising in 2021 to adjust to circumstances, shortly after restrictions are lifted. Our contingency is to fund any residual deficit from surplus unrestricted reserves (see reserves policy).

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
Reserves policy
The PCC reviewed the Reserves policy in 2020 and it is now PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds of £25,000, (up from £20,000) equating to approximately three months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance on unrestricted funds of £67,432 at the 2020 year end exceeded this revised target. £25,000 of these reserves is for the internal reordering project (it is a requirement of the Raymond Ross grant from the diocese, that the PCC match the funds). Given the financial uncertainties of the on-going closure of the church and church centre in 2021, the remaining £17,432 of unrestricted funds, above our £25,000 reserves policy, is being held to cover any shortfall.
It continues to be our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.
