## **Report of the Members For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

The Members present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the PCC trust deed, the Charities Act 2011, and SORP (FRS 102): The Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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 2015) which was published on 16 July 2014. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Appointment of members** 

The PCC members are listed on page 1. New PCC members are appointed by the PCC for the time being, who shall pass a resolution nominating the appropriate person to be a new PCC member and the term during which he shall hold such office. The appointment is completed by the nominated person accepting the PCC membership either verbally at the PCC meeting or in writing, all to be recorded in the minute book of the PCC. The number of elected PCC members may not be more than sixteen and normally serve a three year term. PCC members may resign at any time either in writing or verbally at a PCC meeting. 

PCC members receiving remuneration or reimbursement of expenses are as disclosed in note 4. 

## **Organisation** 

The PCC consists of a Standing Committee, together with a series of sub-committees including Mission and Worship, Finance, Church Building including Gardens, Stewardship, and Hall Operation. The PCC meets six times a year. 

Between these meetings business is transacted by the Finance and Standing Committees. 

At the last Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) held on 9th May 2022, the electoral roll stood at 185 members (2021: 195 Members). 

## **Risk policy** 

The PCC members have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which it faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The main purpose of the PCC, as defined in the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, is ''to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecunemical''. 

There have been no material changes in these policies during the year. 

The PCC has been satisfied during the year to maintain its position. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The PCC is a public benefit entity and, as such, PCC members have had regard to the guidance issued by the Chairty Commission on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

2022 felt like the year when during which things got back to normal following Covid. Having said that things are not the same. We still mourn the losses that Covid brought, and concerns still remain, and in some ways, things seem more fragile than they did before Covid.  Having said that we have seen God’s blessings develop alongside the losses. As a church we have begun to grow and find new ways of being that bring joy and gladness. I said last year that we wanted to learn from all that has happened and not just fall back into old patterns. I think we have done some of that and are still working through other parts. 

We have seen some new ventures such as the Bereavement Journey (do see the report on that written by Mandy) and groups like Crossway re-starting and moving to the afternoons. 

As we move into 2023 and look to the future, we are asking who God is calling us to be as a church at Christ Church, and how he calls us to serve him in our community of Fulwood. As we address that we do so confident that God is good and has good plans for us. God bless, Chris.

## **Report of the Members (Continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Covid Safe Worship** 

PCC has continued to monitor official advice on what we should be doing in church, and we are pleased that this has meant no significant disturbances in 2022 and by the end of the year things we have no active restrictions in place. We continue to encourage people to think about how they wish to receive communion and that people are welcome to receive in one kind or two. 

## **Statement of purpose** 

As a PCC we have the responsibility of working together with our Vicar, Reverend Chris Boland on behalf of the ecclesiastical parish, to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## **Worship and prayer** 

Following the upheaval of Covid and the restructuring and changes in 2021 as a result, 2022 has seen our worshipping pattern settle down. We continue to record the morning 10.30am service and put it onto YouTube Sunday afternoon. The numbers watching this vary from just 3 or 4 to over 20 some weeks. I have not been able to discern a pattern in what causes the variation. 

We remain committed to delivery worship of the highest quality we can within the traditions of Christ Church. We also remain committed that our worship is about us connecting ourselves with Jesus and should represent who we are as people. We want to encourage people to be involved and mistakes are part of this and add to who we are. 

Having got used to using the screen we have seen more of its benefits with the use of worship videos and projecting images for sermons etc… 

One of our hopes looking forward is to identify new people to be involved in our worship in different ways. If you would like to be involved there are many ways from singing in the singing group, learning how to use the projector, doing readings or leading intercessions etc… 

We reported an average weekly attendance of 60 for normal services, 115 people in services for Easter and 132 for Christmas in 2022. Which represents a modest increase on our weekly attendance and a fairly substantial increase on Easter and Christmas. 

## **Financial review** 

The year in review saw completion of the transition back to a normal Parish life routine following the Covid related restrictions and disruptions of prior years. With this came the more full resumption of Parish outreach and social & fundraising activities, which, together with a normalising of Church Hall user group activity impacted positively upon Parish finances. As reported by our Stewardship officers, the now annual Stewardship Giving Review and Gift Day have, through the generosity of parishioners, similarly helped us move toward more fully meeting the financial needs of the Parish. 

Overall, there can be no doubt that Parish Finances remain an ongoing challenge. That said, we have rebuilt reserves to a level where we have some protection against unplanned or emergency expenditure situations that might arise. We have been helped in this by our close working with Diocese colleagues of the Board of Finance who agreed with PCC representatives a reduced Parish Share contribution for 2022 of £45,000. This follows on from reductions in both 2020 (£53,600) and 2021 (£40,000) – in total then, we have, by agreement, underpaid our Parish Share ‘ask’ by c£40,000 in the last three years. For 2023 we have agreed a target figure £50,000 (actual ‘Ask’ £63,390) which further demonstrates the pragmatic and supportive approach from the Diocese, and our transparency with them. 

Our most significant source of revenue remains parishioner planned giving – as at year end we had 69 standing order givers (72 in 2021) and a further 6 who give via the envelope scheme. Collectively this planned giving amounted to around £50,000, to which reclaimed Gift Aid added a further £11,500. The Parish is very grateful for all forms of giving (financial and non- financial) without which we could not continue our Mission, and thanks Parishioners and visitors to our church for their continued generosity. 

The Church Hall was re-opened to user groups and hirers in June 2021 following which we saw a steady rebuilding of letting income. The surplus income of £8,700 for this year compares favourably to a surplus of £4,500 in pre Covid 2019 and makes a welcome contribution to the wider Parish finance effort. Letting charges have been reviewed and increased for 2023 not least given the threefold increase in energy costs now impacting both Church and Hall.

## **Report of the Members (Continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

Total Revenue at £91,671 is slightly up on 2021 (£90,951) but remains slightly down on pre Covid  (£102,523 in 2019). Total expenditure of £80,201 whilst up on 2021 (£65,717) remains below pre Covid (£92,160). The main factor influencing expenditure variance is the amount of Parish Share paid. 

Having underpaid (by agreement) our Parish Share by £18,000 we achieved a surplus for 2022 of £11,470. This is reflected in our Reserves which stand at: 

|**·**|Unrestricted Reserves|£35,600|
|---|---|---|
|**·**|Restricted Reserves:||
|**·**|East Window|£15,000|
|**·**|Quinquennial & Building related|£2,540|



The PCC approved budget for 2023 builds upon the 2022 figures and factors in increases in energy costs, Parish Share contribution and provisions for building repairs to both the Church and Church Hall. If we are to meet the anticipated 2023 expenditure then we will need to increase revenue by £21,000 – a significant challenge. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The restricted fund comprises collections specifically made for charities supported by the PCC including The Leprosy Mission, the Foxton Centre, Christian Aid Funds and the Bishops Harvest Appeal. Also, funds donated specifically for appeals are treated as restricted.  No new restricted donations were received in 2022 and the restricted fund balance is from prior years donations not spent. 

The PCC holds cash at bank and in hand of £53,127 (2021: £42,251). 

The accounts for the year show a surplus of £11,470 (2021: £25,234). Total funds now amount to £52,883 (2021: £41,413).

## **Report of the Members (Continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Accounting and reporting responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial position at the end of that year. In preparing those financial statements the members are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence. 

The members are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Auditors and Independent Examiner** 

Advantage has been taken of the provisions in the Charities Act not to appoint an auditor.  Mr JFD McMillan has been appointed to examine the accounts in accordance with the relevant legislation and related regulations. 

Approved by the members on 15 May 2023.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

## **For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2005.  They have been prepared on an accruals basis. 

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor do they include groups that are informal gatherings of church members. 

The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). 

The amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest £1. 

## **1.1 Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC. 

Restricted funds are those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions are provided in note 8. 

## **1.2 Incoming resources** 

## **Voluntary income and capital sources** 

Offerings and collections are recognized when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognized only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is recognised. 

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. 

## **Other income** 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognized when the rental is received. 

## **1.3 Resources used** 

## **Grants** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. 

## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church** 

The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when due. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. 

Other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and includes where applicable irrecoverable VAT.

Movable 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. They are listed in the Church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). 

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings is written off. 

## **Other Property, fixtures, fittings and office equipment** 

Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,000 or less are writen off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Current assets**

## **For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **4 Staff costs** 

## **Salaries & Fees**

There were no other disclosable transactions in respect of PCC members, persons closely connected with them or other related parties.
