Review of the Year. The PCC met physicalty on three occasions January to March. from May the PCC meet 8 times virtually on Zoom wth an average attendancE of 70%. As always much of the PCC time was taken up discussing the finan￿S of the Church induding the financial state of the Church Hall. Unfortunately. On￿ again we were unable to pay the Parish Share of £20,927.00 in full. The CC discussed a number of matters induding the DiocEsan Strategy - Maturing in Christ" the Deanery Synods strategy for growlh and the reorganisation of Deanery Synods. A facuMy was applied for the removal of the dead and dangerous tree in the Church yard. The PCC discussed the letter which had been re￿[Ved from the Hyndman TrusL one of the patrons as a result of investigations they had discovered that much of the HyrKlman family money had been acquired by trading in the West Indies. St. Bartholomews had never benefitted financial from the trust. Fr. Michael drdfted a letter vthich was read out in Church and printed in the Parish Magazine regarding this matter. The PCC thought it best for us to sever ties with the Hyndman Trust but this w¢ll probably have to be done in a legal manner. There was also dtscussion has to how we could become a dementia friendly parish. In March everything changed due to the Covid 19 k)ckdown. ServI￿S were moved on line- Zoom, from Easter Day and have continued to be streamed on Sunday momiros. In June the church could be open for pr5vate prayer provided those coming in soctally distanced. In August we were able to resume services in Church with hand sanilisers. face masks, signing in and social distancing which was not a problem in SL Bartholomews. In November there was a second lockdown which meant only virtual services. We had a short Advent Bible Study on Zoom which was quite well attended. perhaps because people didntt have to kave their homes in the dark The PCC discussed how we were going to have the Chrtstmas Se￿ICe$ - there were Advent and Christmas Carol Services on Zoom, this meant that F*ople could sing. During the lockdowns there has been a virtual Coffee moming on Thursdays. Thanks to Mr. J.Kaye we had a number of very enjoyable Friday night quiz nights. The development of the land on the Church Hall side of Wesley Road has been in abeyancE during 2020, sadly David Chary of Sanderson Weatherall, who was a very good friend to St. Bartholomew's retired and later he died. The Church Hall was dos&J in March and has not reopened. It was cleaned and the utilities have been switched off to save money. but we still have standing charges and insurance to pay. We applied to the DI0￿Se for an Emergert Mission Grant to enable us lo buy a laptop and a Wi-Fi booster for the Church, as to begin with we were using Fr. Michaels. The PCC asked Fr. Michael to discuss our needs wilh the Diocesan Communications l)ffi¢er. Due to Covid 19 reslrictions the APCM for 2020 VRS not held until October. vthich meant that the PCC elected in 2019 continued until new elections were held in October 2020. It was shortly after this that we heard the devastating news of Mrs Avril Threapleton's death. She left a big hole in the Church family. as she was the Church fk)wer arranger. the Safe Guarding Officer as well as being the central contact with the Scouts: she was also the Fundraising Co-ordinator and a Deputy Churchwarden.

Financlal Rèview N.B. There are unfortunately no figures available for St. Bart's Bingo Fund for 2020 and, as a result, this review has been compiled in Iheir absence. There was a major reduction in both re￿ipts and payments due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic from March 2020 onwards. Open-plate and stewardship envelope giving were both severely diminished. income from and expenditure on fundraising events were greatty reduced and payments on charitable activities were noticeably lower than in 2019. Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £35.501, of which £27.216 VRS unrestricted voluntary donations, including the tax recovered on Gift Aid donations and on donations received under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. Restricted donations of £8,812 were also re￿iVed and are detailed in the financial stateTnents. The planned giving through bankerfs orders and donations by cheque thankfully remained largely consistent throughout the year. Totsl income was down by over a third compared to last year. £33.499 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St. Bartholomew's with St. Mary of Bethany Church. including the contribution to the dI0￿san parish share. which largely provides Ihe stipends and housing for the clergy. Every year. we CA)ntribute as much as we are able lo afford towards parish share. but invariably, are unable to meet the full requested amount. Our contribution in 2020 was £6.000', a shortfall of £14.927. The net result for the year was an increase of £1.365 on unrestricted funds. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 315t De￿mber on unrestricted funds totalled £3,613. Reserves policy It is PCC policy lo try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds Ihat equates to at least three months, unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £8,400. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balan￿ of £3.613 held on unrestricted funds at the year-end cleady does not meet this target. The cash balance of £12,652 in restricted funds is retained towards meeting the cost of repairs, Maintenan￿ and upkeep of the Schulze organ. sanctuary floor mosaics. external west wall crucifix. church lighting and general church fabric" church flowers and the award of discretionary grants. It is our policy to invest investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund. Brenda M. Nichols Jon R. Kaye PCC Secretary PCC Hon. Treasurer

Contra This occurs when money is merely handled by one fund on behalf ofanother. In the final analysis, the transaction is written irrto the account of the relevant nd only. Loans - Not to be regarded as income or expenditure. but rather as a another liability 01 as a rearrangement of assets. These funds comprise the following:_ General fund Church Fabric fund Organ Maintenance fund Church Hall fund St. Bart's Bingo fund Collectin ent or a ent When special colleclions are made to send straight off to other charities (e.g. The Children's Society) and that the nature of the appeal is that Ihere is no discretion for the PCC to do anything other than send the money directly to the charity, these are not funds of the PCC, as it is acting only as a collecting agent, and so the appeal is not included in the PCC'S gross income or totsl expenditure. In aggregate. the total income and the total expenditure of these funds must be no more and no less than they would be in an equivalent consoltdated multi-purpose account. By definition, in such a situation, there would be one account only and therefore could be no passage of money be￿een funds. FINI Transfer Where money is raised in one fund and subsequently passed to another foi use in the sector covered by the recipient fund. Revd M Wood Priest-in-charge JR Kaye Hon. Treasurer
