Aim and Purposes

St John’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend Prebendary Alan Green, in promoting the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building, together with its crypt and hall at 200 Cambridge Heath Road, Bethnal Green.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St John’s the membership of the PCC consists of the parish clergy, churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All who regularly attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The 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.

Building Committee: Fr Alan Green, Rev Christine Hall, Stan White, Donna McDonald, Jon Bolter, Robin Mallalieu.

Review of the Year

2020 began very much in keeping with other years, a quiet start after the religious and secular excitements of Christmas. We already had a good number of concerts and exhibitions in the diary for the year, which kicked off with the Braid Ensemble at the end of January and Jim Moray on 12 March. The week before that concert we had 130 people in church for the Annual Bethnal Green Tube Disaster Memorial Service. But then the COVID pandemic took hold and, a day in advance of the formal lockdown, we decided to close the church on 22 March, Mothering Sunday. Initially, I decided that would not attempt to stream services (I had no idea how to do that!), but would circulate to the congregation a form of mediative worship they could use at home with the Collects and readings at the times I would continue to celebrate the Eucharist by myself in church. This would prevent a two-tier congregation of those able to receive an online stream and those unable to do this. The Church of England announced confusing guidance, or was it regulation, that clergy were not to enter their churches, but lead services from home. Since I did not need to go onto a public highway to access the church I continued to maintain a regular pattern of daily prayer, Sunday Mass and two weekday Masses throughout the lockdown from the church with our bells automatically announcing each service.

By the end of April I was aware that the pandemic was going to be with us for much longer than I had previously hoped so that streaming would need to happen alongside the Act of Spiritual Communion, and we began to broadcast the three weekly Masses from 26 April, the 3rd Sunday of Easter. This was well-received and, on reflection, has not seemed to cause a rift in the congregation. Churches were permitted to reopen from the beginning of July but, partly to protect a very vulnerable congregation and partly to maintain solidarity with other faith groups in Tower Hamlets unable take this step, St John’s remained closed and continued with the virtual and imaginative forms of worship.

Throughout this time I was very grateful to the Church Council – especially to Rev Christine and Debbie Frame – for maintaining a regular pattern of pastoral care, ensuring that congregation members were in contact with one another and offering support and comfort where necessary.

I was unable to play much of a part in this. As Chair of the borough’s Inter Faith Forum I had become the point of contact between the faith communities and the Council and other statutory and voluntary services. This was (and remains) very time consuming but has greatly enhanced the partnership between secular and religious bodies in Tower Hamlets for the good of the whole community. Even as the pandemic has brought a magnifying glass to the disparities and injustices that exist locally, so too has it magnified the opportunities for positive development – and this has been an important move forwards.

St John’s finally reopened for public worship on 13 September with a wide range of safety measures in place, much helped by a significant grant from the Emergency Fund of the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The second lockdown meant we closed again after All Saints Day, 1st November, and tried reopening at the end of that on 6 December. However, I felt the church was an unsafe venue and for the sake of the congregation closed again in the week before Christmas. This was disheartening, but preserving the health and lives of our community was paramount.

For most of the year St John’s was without its major income streams - the weekly hire by Christchurch London and the concert and exhibition programme – whilst seeing little change in the pattern of expenditure. The PCC reviewed our finances and agreed that we were in a position to pay our way through the year even if this would significantly affect our future regeneration and development plans. On this basis we continued to pay 100% of our agreed contributions to the Diocesan Common Fund. We were helped in this through the maintenance grant from the Heritage Fund and by an increased grant from the Pemberton Barnes Trust. We are also very grateful to those organisations in the Crypt who were able to continue to pay their licence fees throughout the year.

Fr Alan

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the governing document.

Independent Examiner's Report

to the PCC of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Saint John on Bethnal Green

I report on the accounts of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Saint John on Bethnal Green for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 9 to 17. My report is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ('the Regulations') and the Charities Act 2011 ( 'the Charities Act').

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the PCC and its members as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 7, the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

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:

I 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.

Accounting Policies

for the year ended 31 December 2020

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:

Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue to operate and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income recognition

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.

The income from trading activities includes rental income from the letting of church premises which is accounted for when earned. It is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, and the amount of obligation can be measured reliably. Longer term liabilities are discounted to present value. The PCC is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where appropriate.

Expenditure included in Raising Funds includes amounts incurred in obtaining grants and other donations and property maintenance costs.

Charitable expenditure includes those costs expended in fulfilling the PCC’s principal objects, as outlined in the Report of the PCC. These include grants payable, governance costs and an apportionment of support costs.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the funder. Direct and support expenditure which meets these criteria are identified to the fund together with a fair allocation of other costs.

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds are funds received which have no restrictions placed on their use and are available as general funds.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Saint John on Bethnal Green

(A Parochial Church Council registered as a charity, number: 1132150)

Accounting Policies

for the year ended 31 December 2020

Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Furniture & fittings - 20% on cost Office equipment - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Items of equipment are only capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £200.

Consecrated Property and Moveable Church Furnishings

Consecrated land and benefice property such as the church building and vicarage is excluded from the accounts in accordance with s10 of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church contents are held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and require a faculty for disposal. They are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. All expenditure incurred on consecrated or benefice buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is expressed within the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments

Investments are shown in the balance sheet at closing market value. Surpluses or deficits on valuation are credited or charged to the statement of financial activities.

On 18 March 2008 the PCC obtained ownership of 14 paintings by Chris Gollon, which have been commissioned over the last 8 years at a cost of approximately £3,000 each. These paintings depict the Stations of the Cross and are hung in the church building. They are further described in the PCC report. The appropriate accounting treatment for these is currently under consideration by the PCC and our external advisors.

Notes to the Accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2020

Restricted funds (continued)

Projects financed by restricted funds are supported by unrestricted funding where necessary. This occurs where the funding is in arrears or the incidence of expenditure on the project occurs disproportionately at the beginning of the project compared to the income flows. Where restricted projects end the year with a deficit, this is met by after year-end restricted income or transfers from unrestricted funds.

Name of Restricted Fund Purpose of restricted fund
Nave carpet replacement Funds for replacement of the nave carpet.
National Heritage grant Emergency grant to cover essential costs, repairs and maintenance of the fabric .
Crypt Toilets Grant from Garfield Weston Anniversary Fund for the construction of new toilets in the
church crypt.
