## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PCC FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022**
## **Objectives and activities**
St Andrew's PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church Centre complex of St Andrew's, Church Lane, Shottery, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 9HQ.
The full PCC met 6 times during the year. PCC working groups met bi-monthly. The Standing Committee met between meetings and minutes of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary.
Throughout the year the PCC had discussions concerning: Diocesan and St. Andrew's budgets and accounts, worship, nurture, outreach, fabric and maintenance of the church building and hall, Safeguarding and pastoral care, children and family work, the lighting project for church and faculty application, the audio visual project and Parish Share. Regular reports were given to the PCC from Fabric, Finance and working groups including reports from Deanery & Diocesan Synods.
We have representatives on organisations such as Stratford Churches Together, Street Pastors Scheme and Coventry Cathedral. Reports on their various activities were received throughout the year.
## **Church attendance**
There are 149 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. This year we have lost 8 members and gained 6 new members to the roll.
The average adult (16+) weekly attendance was 130. Attendance on Easter Day was 162 and at Christmas Day 53.
## **Financial reserves policy**
There is no PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.
It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022. 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHOTTERY ST. ANDREWS CHURCH**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Shottery St. Andrews Church**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Shottery St. Andrews Church (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 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 those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.
Movable 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). Items acquired since 1st January 2005 have been capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful economic life. Church equipment being depreciated at 15% reducing balance.
Investments are valued at market value at 31st December.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fund accounting**
Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) 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.
Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.
