ANNUAL REPORT
The pandemic may be past us – more or less – but both nationally and locally, the year continues to be one of challenges for many of us. The death of Queen Elizabeth II, the war in Ukraine, and the impact of the cost of living crisis were not just news events, but impacted on many in our parish. We have been more settled as a church with a vicar in place after the period of vacancy combined with pandemic, but Dele is still not able to take up residence in the vicarage, so not everything has “returned to normal” – although the vicarage situation is hopefully close to being resolved. Services are now settled back in the church building, although the zoom link continues, and each Sunday there are several people participating remotely as well as those in the building itself.
Sermon series this year have included looking at Every Member in Ministry, the seven churches of Revelation, Luke’s Gospel (in conjunction with our Lent series) and most recently God’s Big Invitation, which lead us into the Alpha course which began in January 2023. We are blessed at St B’s to have so many people who are willing to give their time and gifts to preach and lead in our services, which also means that we have a variety of approaches and styles of preaching, which can only be healthy.
The PCC has met regularly – eight times over the course of 2022, including the APCM. Much of the work of the PCC might not seem overtly “spiritual”, when dealing with finance and fabric, but these are vital to the successful working of the church. Much of the important work of the PCC goes on in sub-committees, dealing with Mission, Pastoral work, the under-25s, and the Leadership Team. One major innovation for this coming year will be the formation of an Oversight Area with Christ Church Quinton, as part of the Diocesan People and Places Agenda which seeks to bring churches together in partnership in mission activities. The Area Dean will be meeting our PCC and that of Christ Church in the New Year to facilitate the first meeting.
The church building still requires much attention. Issues this year have included various roof leaks, estimates for the repair of which are being sought at the moment, and the repeated breakdown of the heater in the hall. It appears the heater will need to be replaced – again, quotes for this are being sought and will be presented to the PCC in 2023. Over and above ongoing maintenance, phase 2 of the renovation project still needs completion, with the renovation of the sanctuary ceiling. The past quote for this was £63,000, although inflation is likely to mean the eventual cost will be significantly higher. At the moment, we have just over £40,000 of this in place. A team of fundraisers is being trained to raise the funding necessary for this, and for a Project Manager to oversee the children and families work at St B’s. In addition, another project for the future is the renovation of the sanctuary floor, as some areas have deteriorated, and there is a need to maintain the finish of the floor. Money has also been spent this last year on securing the storage building for the Food Bank with rebuilding the fence and gates, and also on ensuring the minibus is roadworthy (and this has helped see the minibus booked out sufficiently often to enable the minibus budget to end the year in a positive position).
Prayer has remained at the heart of the work of the church. There is regular prayer ministry after services and a regular prayer chain that shares items for prayer via a WhatsApp group. There have also been regular “24 hours of prayer” activities over weekends, to bring the work of the church in all aspects to God in prayer. Prayer also feeds into the work of the Pastoral Team. This has looked to be more proactive this year, and to reach out to members of the church and those on the edge, supported by an agreed budget, which has facilitated giving gift bags and cards to people, as well as encouraging members of the church family through visits and phone calls. The pastoral team meet monthly – it has also been more visible through the church, so that people have an idea of who to approach for support.
We continue to be grateful for the many aspects of youth and children’s work at St B’s. Post COVID, the numbers of children engaged with St B’s has actually increased. One highlight was the Good Friday Happening, back into church for the first time in a few years, with over 125 people attending. Christmas saw the opportunity to connect with all four primary schools in the parish, with Worlds End schools having Christmas services at the church, Welsh House Farm Primary school holding their Christmas event at St B’s,

and Four Dwellings hosting a Christmas Assembly led by members of the church. There have already been enquiries about Easter visits! Sunday mornings continue to be busy, with the cohort broadly split into 5s and under, and 6 to 11, which has worked well, with groups enjoying songs, prayers and engaging with the Bible, although the acoustics of the Hall are an issue. There is much to celebrate, but the team are stretched, with maternity leave and illness adding to the pressure on leaders, and our prayer is for more leaders to be raised up. This will help the work to expand in 2023, for example by running Holiday Clubs again, and also to provide more support for children with additional needs.
It has also been a good year for youth work in the church, helped by the presence of Annie, our gap year worker. There has been a steady attendance of over 25 young people at Sunday services and midweek meetings, and a regular young people’s house group. A number of volunteers have also been involved in Quinton YFC’s Youth Night, which began in July, and looks to engage with the young people of the area. The Brigades have also seen good attendance, with over 50 boys aged 5 to 18 involved in our BB company (the 8[th] Birminghams) on a weekly basis. These numbers are evenly spread across all three sections, giving a strong basis for the company as a whole, and representing a return to the sort of numbers we had prepandemic, bucking the trend of many Brigade companies. Activities have included visits to Cwrt Cottage in Snowdonia, a camping and walking weekend at Quinta in May and a Summer Camp shared with GB at Broadleas on Dartmoor. The Girls’ Brigade (the 12[th] ) also visited Cwrt Cottage and shared in the wellattended Summer camp. We are grateful for the commitment and efforts of the volunteers who work with Brigades, although GB in particular has been affected by illness.
This can be no more than a brief summary of the work of the church and its engagement in the local community. There are many other things to mention. The Food Bank continues to be an important part of the Church’s ministry to the local community and is likely to increase in significance. It has expanded also, as St B’s became the sole location of the Quinton and Oldbury Food Bank, and through 2022, fulfilled 1676 vouchers. During the year the church was very thankful to receive a donation of two large pieces of gym equipment from the Civil Service Sports Club on the closure of an office in Birmingham. These have been put to use, along with some other smaller donated equipment to form a small outside gym, which has been used for sessions aimed at engaging with young adults in constructive chat, support and of course exercise. A worship fitness group has been taking place on Saturday mornings, performing aerobics to worship music, the Women’s and Men’s Social groups have met for dinners and breakfasts and other activities, the Church Library has been extensively revamped and the “library area” at the back of church made more welcoming and useable, and many members of the church (including the Director!) were involved in February’s highly successful production of “The Wizard of Oz”. But most importantly, we hope that St B’s will continue to be “good news people in a bad news world”, and make the most of our opportunities, beginning with the Alpha course which is just starting, to build our relationships with those around us, and use that relationship to share the gospel with them.
The Parochial Church Council ‘P.C.C.
During 2022 the PCC has met 8 times, including 1 extra-ordinary meeting and the APCM. There are 22 members of the PCC which includes 12 elected lay members, 2 Church Wardens and 3 Deanery Synod representatives. There are 5 ex-officio members which includes the Vicar, 3 lay readers and a General Synod representative. 4 non-voting attendees are invited to each meeting which include BB/GB captains, Data Protection Officer and the Disability Advisor.
Sub-committees have met to explore and progress ideas relevant to their group. These ideas have then been reported to the PCC for discussion and agreement. There are 4 sub-committees: Mission group, Sub25 group, Pastoral group and Leadership Team and their work is referenced in other parts of this report.
Safeguarding is always high on the agenda of the PCC, with regular updates discussed. The Safeguarding policy has been updated based upon Safeguarding documents from the Diocese. Disclosure and Barring Quinton, St Boniface PCC Annual Report & Account 2022

Service applications continue to be made for relevant roles and online training is available. Some on-site Safeguarding training is planned for the new year.
St Boniface has formed an Oversight Area with Christ Church, the Quinton which is part of the Diocese’s People and Places agenda and is an initiative to bring churches together in a partnership to progress missional activities. The Area Dean will be meeting with both churches’ PCCs in the new year to facilitate the first meeting.
Sustainability is part of our discussions, especially around the challenges with the church fabric, the rising energy costs and to promote Eco-church, a questionnaire to enable churches to gain bronze, silver or gold awards in sustainability and drive the Diocese’ agenda to be Net Zero by 2030.
Stage 2 of the refurbishment project remains an objective as does the appointment of a Project Manager to oversee children and families work at St Boniface. Funding is required for both of these, and a team of fundraisers have been trained in bid writing for this purpose.
Charitable giving which is part of our Finance discussions was set in November 2022, blessing various organisations and individuals with support. Finance is discussed at every meeting, with budget setting being approved in November for the following year. The PCC have approved joining the Parish Giving Scheme which will be rolled out in the new year. This will reduce administration and enable gift aid to be recovered more quickly.
The minibus has been restored to being road-worthy and has been marketed more widely this year. Sufficient bookings have enabled the minibus budget to end the year in a positive position.
Aim and Purposes
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Wardens and Clergy in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is also specifically responsible, with the churchwardens, for the maintenance of the church buildings complex of St Boniface in Quinton Road West.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St Boniface, regardless of their previous religious affiliation or none. The church’s key values are set out on the front page of this report. A hybrid mix of onsite and zoom participation is available every week for worship.
The PCC maintains an overview of worship and makes suggestions on how our services can involve individuals or any groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship seek to put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. We seek both to serve our local community and support the world-wide church.
Public Benefits
The purpose of St Boniface Church is worship and the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Church of England. St Boniface Church also carries out charitable work within the parish of St Boniface, Quinton Birmingham.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through

-
Worship and prayer – by providing public worship, including: Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals

Learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus by offering courses/activities for those of all ages including the Alpha Course.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church and its adjoining buildings.
Legal and Administrative Information
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. It is a Registered Charity under the name “The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Boniface, Quinton Road West”, and its Registered Number is 1131914.
As a “body corporate” it has an existence and separate identity recognised in law, independent of the people comprised in it. It has no related trusts or charities but has overall responsibility for the four semiautonomous organisations described in note 11 to the accounts.
The PCC has two formal sub-committees: a Standing Committee for addressing urgent matters, and a Finance Committee to review and make recommendations about financial planning and affordability issues. It is also advised by three informal subcommittees concerned with specific aspects of church life: Pastoral, Mission, and Sub 25 – their reports and recommendations form the basis of many of the PCC’s decisions and deliberations.
The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the Vicar and other clergy licensed to the parish, together with members elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church.
All those who attend services and members of the church are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC. Current members are listed on page 7 following. There are currently no policies and procedures in place for the induction and training of new PCC members. PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.
The PCC’s principal banker is HSBC, 148 High Street, Harborne, Birmingham B17 9PN.
Monies not immediately required are placed in the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, administered by CCLA Investment Management Ltd, Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4B 4ET.
The independent examiner of the PCC’s accounts is Mr. David Dixie, FCA of Dixie Associates, 167 Black Haynes Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 4RE.
Reserves Policy
It is the PCC policy to try and maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £21,322; it is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies.
The unrestricted funds balance (£49,155), deducting required minimum reserves, is £27,833 held at the year-end. This is equivalent to nearly a further four months’ expenditure, so that a total of nearly seven months’ expenditure is held.

The balance of £97,841 in the restricted funds (excluding the associated organisations) is retained towards meeting the cost of various activities undertaken by the church in the community, and towards the second phase of the church’s refurbishment project.
Restatement of the 2021 Accounts
The 2021 accounts have been restated to reflect revised reporting headings being used following changes to our internal bookkeeping practices.
Location
St. Boniface is a Church of England parish in the Deanery of Warley and Edgbaston within the Diocese of Birmingham. The address for correspondence is St Boniface Church, Quinton Road West, Birmingham B32 2QD. Christians first started meeting on the site for worship in a temporary building in 1949 and the present church building was consecrated on 9th February 1959, when the new parish was formally constituted as “St. Boniface, Quinton Road West”.
The church building [with a linked Hall and rooms] is located near the east end of Quinton Road West and serves a parish area comprising the South Eastern parts of Quinton [including the Woodgate Valley North estate] and an area of western Harborne [comprising mainly the Welsh House Farm Estate], all on the western edge of the City of Birmingham. (The parish falls within the Quinton Ward & Harborne Ward for local government purposes.)
The area was developed for public and private housing, initially in the 1930s with significant further building in the 1950s and 1970s. The Parish is entirely residential, with no factories or businesses other than shops, schools and services for the local community. According to the 2011 national census, 10,700 people live in the parish, of whom 25% are aged 5-15, and 63% 16-64, 12% are 60+; 55% described themselves as “Christian” and less than 4% as belonging to other faiths; and of adults, 23% are in receipt of out of work benefit, and 33% have no formal school or other qualifications.
Electoral Roll and Church Attendance
There were 131 adults on the electoral roll for 2022.
On a typical Sunday during 2022 the average number of adults attending worship was 116, together with 35 children and young people (up to age 16). Attendance at Wednesday morning services averaged 25 (including Zoom and face to face attendees).

The charity’s trustees (the Parochial Church Council) consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

The General Fund represents the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions or designations regarding their use and which are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.
Incoming Resources
Voluntary income and capital sources
Collections and donations are recognized when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Planned giving receivable under gift aid is recognized only when received.
Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognized at the same time as the income to which it relates, and since 6 April 2013 includes amounts receivable under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme.

Restricted Fund Purposes:
-
➢ Mission Fund – Restricted to missional activity that will help those outside the church encounter Jesus. For example, but not limited to, missional events, creative initiatives and invitation to evangelistic services and courses.
-
➢ Mission Worker Fund – This fund was created in 2020 to fund the appointment of a Mission Worker. Detail is not known of exactly what this role will be, but it will be to pay outward facing employee to engage in active Christian ministry both within the church and the wider community. This fund currently comprises of donations from within the church family. This fund is intended to offer flexibility, such that the PCC could use it in conjunction with either the Youth Worker Fund or Children’s Ministry Fund to support a worker in either of those areas.
-
➢ Youth Worker Fund – St Boniface has not employed a dedicated Youth Worker in 2022; grants that were given to support the work of our youth worker in late 2018 were retained by St Boniface at the agreement of the trustees/charities in June 2019, for the continuation of the youth work in subsequent years. In 2022, no income or expenditure has occurred from the restricted youth worker fund; amounts retained will be used towards the employment of a youth worker at a future time, when resources permit. Youth work has continues at St Boniface in 2021 with the efforts of volunteers.

Restricted Fund Purposes Continued:
-
➢ Children’s Ministry Fund – St Boniface has a large and active children’s ministry. The Children’s Ministry Fund is for the purposes of children’s ministry within the church and in the wider community. It has in the past been used to contribute towards a children’s worker, and may be used for a children’s and families worker in the future. The fund continues to grow thanks to donations and has been used to provide children’s work resources in 2022.
-
➢ Pastoral Fund – comprises donations received to enable the church to respond to personal and welfare needs in the parish area through small grants and donations.
-
➢ Refurbishment – This fund was started towards the end of 2016 to raise funds towards the restoration work identified by the quinquennial inspection of 2015, which uncovered asbestos in the church bell tower and throughout the church ceiling. The work on Phase 1, which related to the church sanctuary, was completed in 2021. There is also a need for a new church hall and corridor roof which will form phase 2 of this restoration work. Funds will need to be raised towards this, to add to the balance remaining which was carried across from phase 1 work. Funds raised during 2022 are entirely from donations from church members.
-
➢ Ravens – This fund has been dormant in 2018 to 2022. It aims to provide lunches for children from low-income families over the school holidays, promoting health for children in the community, and to extend literacy work outside of school times. The church retains an intention to build a similar aim within a future project in order to utilise these funds.
-
➢ Holiday Fund – This fund originated some years ago from grants received to subsidise a parish holiday, and the surplus has been retained (with donors’ consent) towards subsequent holidays and weekends away. Some income relating to the 2021 weekend away to Quinta was received late and recognised in the current accounts. A further weekend away to Quinta is planned for October 2024, and the fund will be available to subsidise families who would otherwise be unable to attend due to issues with financial means. The expenditure mostly relates to the deposit paid for the 2024 booking.
-
➢ Cross Replacement – Towards the end of 2016 St Boniface received a single donation of £200 towards the replacement of the external cross. The PCC reviewed the viability of the project, but concluded that it would be prohibitively expensive to complete. The donor was offered a return of their donation, but elected for the money to be transferred to a new Christmas Meal Fund (see below).
-
➢ Minibus – During 2014 funds were collected toward the purchase and running costs of a minibus for church activities and the uniformed organisations. Following donations, the minibus returned to operation after a period off the road during the pandemic, with the intention that the minibus be self-funding from donations from users.
-
➢ Christmas Meal – As referenced in the Cross Replacement Fund note, these funds represent a transfer from that other fund at the request of the donor. The funds were to be used to pay for a Christmas meal for elderly people in the local community. The entirety of the funds have been spent and this fund is now closed.

14. Transactions with members of the PCC and connected persons
During the year, Dani Knox, a member of the PCC, was engaged in a professional capacity to provide fundraising training as part of her established fundraising consultancy/training business. The decision to engage her was made by the PCC with no interested party participating in the discussion or voting.
Additionally, the husband of a member of the PCC was engaged to provide website development services on a commercial basis. A competitive quote was obtained from another provider, but due to preferential rates offered came in much higher. The PCC voted on the engagement of the individual, and the PCC member concerned did not participate in the discussion or vote when this work was commissioned.
No other members of the PCC or persons closely connected with them received any remuneration, other benefits, or material reimbursement of expenses during the year, nor were any interested in any material transaction, contract or other arrangement with the PCC. The PCC voted one donation in relation to a gap year in Christian Ministry being undertaken by one of the members of the PCC. However, it is not considered that the individual concerned received any personal benefit from this donation, and she did not participate in the discussions or vote when the donation was decided.
