The Parochial Church Council of All Saints Alrewas Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2020
Charity registration number: 1132083
Objectives and Activities
The Parochial Church Council of All Saints Alrewas (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Prebendary John Allan, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of the church.
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 All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through non-sacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach non churched members of the community.
Public Benefit
The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish, it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:
-
providing facilities for weekly acts of public worship, which are open to all persons
-
provision of sacred space for personal reflection and contemplation (the church building is open daily for all who wish to make use of it)
-
pastoral care, including visiting with and supporting the sick and bereaved in the parish
-
spiritual, moral and intellectual development (both for its members, and for anyone else who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers), including the teaching of the Christian faith through preparation for baptism, confirmation and marriage, and through weekly sermons, adult and youth discussion groups, etc.
-
worship, teaching and outreach activities shared in partnership with Alrewas Methodist Church
-
promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their community, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Achievements and Performance
Although a sizable proportion of 2020 was affected by national as well as local restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, All Saints Alrewas was able to fulfil the following in support of its objectives:
-
Regular weekly acts of worship, either as public worship held in the church building or via online provision including pre-recorded video and live-streaming
-
Opening the church building to the public for private prayer (when permitted to do so in light of published regulations and Covid-19 secure risk assessment)
-
Occasional on-line provision in support of Christian discipleship and evangelism
-
On-going support for our village Church Primary School, offering regular in-person or on-line Collective Worship, as well as active participation of the Vicar and various lay leaders in Governance as Foundation or Co-opted Governors
-
Pastoral care of congregational and village community members through e-mail, telephoning and in-person assistance
-
Congregational participation in and support of the Village Coronavirus Support Group in providing assistance with food and prescription delivery, well-being support, etc. to members of the local community throughout the pandemic period
-
On-going care of the church building as well as churchyard maintenance
-
Active support for the local Foodbank (Lichfield branch) through PCC financial contribution as well as providing a collection point for donations from villagers
-
Introduction of new digital methods of making financial contributions to support the on-going ministry and mission of All Saints Church (Just Giving via website, donating via mobile phone text service)
Financial Review
In common with many charities, the PCC faced a challenging year financially as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The periods when the Church building was closed; when no services were held; and the inability for most of the normal fundraising events to take place has resulted in a material fall in income.
Nevertheless as a consequence of God’s provision, the faithfulness of regular committed givers, the support of the Diocese of Lichfield, and proactive financial management, the PCC has navigated it way through an unprecedentedly challenging year without any material depletion of its cash resources. Such an outcome appeared highly unlikely in the early months of the pandemic.
It should be noted that whilst the independently examined accounts report a deficit for the year of £6,123 the actual underlying position was a deficit of just £303. The difference is accounted for by the PCC having switched from the accruals method of accounting to the receipts and payments method with the consequence that charitable donations allocated from 2019’s surplus income were not physically paid until 2020.
The residual deficit of £303 is a direct consequence of expenditure made from designated / restricted funds during the year with the General Fund, from which all day to day expenditure is met,
Page 3
recording a surplus of c£1,800. This outcome was only possible as result of Diocesan support requiring the PCC to contribute only 10.5 months of its normal Parish Share obligation.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a minimum balance of £10,000 in its Fabric Fund ‘A’ (restricted fund) to provide for unforeseen expenses arising in relation to the fabric of the church building or upkeep of the churchyard. The balance of the Fund at the year-end was £12,466 which is comfortably higher than this target.
Investment Policy
The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance (CCLA) in London.
The charity’s investment policies are based on two key principles: -
-
Ethical Investment – this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders.
-
Long-term responsibilities – the trustees are aware of their long-term responsibilities in respect of the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.
Investment policy for long-term funds is aimed primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regard to the need for the preservation of capital value, and the possible need to realise investments to meet operational needs. The charity does not have a policy of generating income at excessive or high risk – known as “purchasing income”, where high returns are guaranteed at the expense of capital.
In summary, the charity has an overall policy to maximise income while preserving the real value of its funds. Due to the nature of the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when investments are made:
The charity follows the Ethical Investment Advisory policy as recommended by the Lichfield Diocese which includes the following:
-
“We aim to invest in companies that:
-
will develop their business in the interests of shareholders;
-
demonstrate responsible employment practices;
-
are conscientious concerning issues of corporate governance, the environment and human rights;
-
are sensitive to the community in which they operate.”
Planned giving, collections and donations are the main sources of fund raising along with tax recoverable.
Safeguarding
Page 4
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Reporting Serious Incidents
A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss of the charity’s money or assets, damage to the charity’s property or harm to the charity’s work or reputation.
The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year.
Fundraising
The PCC takes it fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC take full responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful.
Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our Church a lively and vibrant community. We especially wish to convey our appreciation of and gratitude for the committed involvement of our non-stipendiary licensed clergy and lay ministers, our Parish Officers, Pastoral Care Team, and everyone who generously uses their time and talents to support the ongoing ministry, mission and outreach of our Parish Church.
Review of the Year
Key Statistics Summary
The Church Electoral Roll, revised in 2020, had 163 adults on roll.
Due to the Covid-19 situation affecting the majority of 2020, the usual National Church statistics for weekly worship were not collected. During the weeks the church building was allowed to be used for public worship, our Covid-secure maximum attendance space was for 51 persons, with actual total Sunday service attendances averaging between 30 and 40.
Easter Sunday services were cancelled due to the national lockdown, and in-person Christmas Day services totalled 44. A series of special outdoor Christmas Caroling services held in the churchyard were attended by more than 500 people.
Page 5
In 2020 there were no baptisms, 5 marriage services, and 15 funeral services held in church, with a further 19 funerals conducted at local crematoria.
Notable Developments
-
Regular Covid-19 risk assessments carried out as issued by the National Church of England, and the establishment of a daily rota of anti-bacterial cleaners, in order to ensure Covidsecure conditions for visitors and worshippers
-
Introduction of pre-recorded on-line worship resources (available through the church website, weekly digital Parish Magazine, and social media outlets)
-
Purchase of technical equipment and provision of 4-G wifi internet service enabling the introduction of live-streaming of worship services from October 2020
-
Alongside in-person and on-line worship opportunities, activities and events were offered enabling the village community to celebrate Christmas 2020, including ‘Angels of Hope’ project, Christmas Tree hand-made decorations, ‘Nativity Rocks’ village treasure hunt, and distribution of 1400 free ‘HOPE at Christmas’ magazines (with attached letter of Christmas greetings from the church) to all residences in the village.
Future Plans
Although future planning is contingent upon the relaxation of national and local Covid restrictions, the following are anticipated for 2021:
-
Formation of a revised Mission Action Plan in accordance with the Lichfield Diocesan priorities focussed around Discipleship, Vocation and Evangelism
-
Continued weekly provision of on-line worship resources, including pre-recorded video as well as increased use of live-streamed provision for the Sunday 10am service
-
Continued pre-recorded video support for weekly KS1 and KS2 Collective Worship for all Saints CE Primary School

Offering discipleship, evangelism and nurture opportunities (using pre-recorded and live video conferencing) for congregation members and interested community members/internet users, including the Alpha course, Ecumenical Lent Discussion Group, and Bible study.
-
Continued provision of daily church opening for private prayer, following the latest National Church guidance and Covid-secure risk assessments and procedures
-
Re-introduction of communal public worship services in church when deemed safe and appropriate to do so in light of the evolving Coronavirus situation
-
Continuing congregational involvement in the village Coronavirus Support Group as it maintains contact with and practical support for villagers who are experiencing illness, shielding, isolation, or loneliness
-
Participation with other local village groups and organisations in organising and hosting community events to restore and celebrate our life together as we move into the ‘recovery phase’ of the pandemic
-
Commitment to a ‘100% green’ natural energy supplier contract from April 2021, in support of the Diocesan Eco Church initiative.

Risk Management
The Church Wardens, working collaboratively with the Incumbent and other church leaders, carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. Diocesan-approved safeguarding policies, practices and training are in place for child protection and for work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing.
The Trustees assume responsibility for ensuring the Independent Examiner is provided with all of the information required in order to carry out the annual Independent Examination of Financial Accounts.
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2[nd] January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese, as well as informal induction by existing members. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC usually meets six times a year, and receives reports from those with particular roles and responsibilities (e.g., Wardens Team, Safeguarding Coordinator, Pastoral Care Team, Youth Work, Parish Communications) as well as its two established sub-committees (Fabric/Finance/ Facilities, and Events Planning).

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The PCC of All Saints Parish Church Alrewas, Staffordshire
Registered charity number, if applicable: 1132083
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 which are set out on the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility
-
to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Parochial Church Council of All Saints Alrewas Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2020
Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis.
There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s10 (2) (a) & (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 inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
Description of Funds
Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.
Restricted funds comprise of two elements:
- a) Income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest.
Donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or
Page 11
other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.

Analysis of Transfer between Funds
- Re-ordering Project £4,511 and D Richards’ Legacy £9,002 funds both transferred to new Fabric Fund ‘B’ (designated) in recognition of this being likely greatest area for call on funds in the short to medium term.
