Objectives and Activities, Achievement and Performance and Public Benefit The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended) and Church Representation Rules state thalthe objects of the PCC are to promote in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church. The five marf(s of mission developed by the Anglican Consultative Council since 1984 and adopted by the General Synod of the Church of England in 1996 have been adopted by St Paul's as understsnding what contemporary mission is about. They are= 1) To proclaim the Good News ofthe Kingdom., 21 To teach baptise and nurture new believers-, 31 To respond to human need by loving service., 4} To seek to transform unjust structures of society, lo challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation. 51 To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth. As an organisation we believe this is encapsulated in our vision of keeping Jesus at the centre of everything as we focus on renewing faith, restoring hope. and sharing the radical love of God wthin St Paul's and the wider community. The PCC have given due regard to the public benefit when planning the church's activities, In accordancewith the Charty Commission's general guidance on Public Benefii. This report sets out the PCCS activities, achievements, and performance during the year, which are related to the objects and purposes for which the church exists. The benefits are directly related to the aims of the church and are fully compliant with the principles set oul in the Charity Commission Principles on Public Benefit. During 2023 the focus was on strengthening worship, ministry and mission in our parish. city, and nation. We remain mindful of our local and global context and the importance of partnering in the gospel with our mission partners, mission organisations and olher organisations and agencies who are sympathetic tc) our Chrislian ethos and seek to contribule positively to improve the overall societal wellbeing of others. As 2 faith community. in an ever-chènging world. our overarching vision is to keep Jèsus at the centre of everything. We look to Jesus to renew faith, restore hope, and share God's radical love in the lives of the church community, in our parish, within our city and beyond. The Trustees Report describes some of the key areas offocLJS and events in the life, ministry, and mission of St Paul's Church over the last 12 months. In February 2023 St Paul's hosted The Church's Ministry among Jewish People (CMJ'S) 'The Bible Come5 to Life Exhibition, in partnershipwith The Bridge Youth Project. Local primary and secondary schools visited throughout the week to take part in a fully immersive exhibilion that used unique biblical artifacts to instruct children and adults the foundations of Jewish and Christian faiths. Over these fourconsecutive days we estimate a 1000 people attended the exhibition and over20 schools participated. During Lent we invited the Life Groups and Church to join for a series of Lenten devotions on Wednesday evenings, culminating with a simple Maundy Thursday ploughman's supper. The Course focused on a key character from the Easter story each week.. Simon of Cyrene,. Mary, the mother of Jesus. John the beloved disciple" the Roman Centurion, The criminal on the cross,. and those at the Last Supper. On Good Friday there was a family outdoor Easter trail at Sarum St Paul's School followed by a picnic. There was a vigil by the cross in church from 1 to 3pm. On the 23rd April, The Right Reverend Andrew Romsey, Bishop of Ramsbury, joined us for a special service of baptisms, confirmalion, and rededication of Baptism vows (with full water immersion>- Twenly-four candidates participated and il was an extremely moving occasior). Bishop Andrew appreciated his gift of a Nbber duck wearing a Mitre! On the 6th of May we celebrated the Coronation of King Charles 111. The church was decorated appropriately with bunting. flags, and floral displays. On Saturday we screened the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and had a picnic in church. Everyone who attended enjoyed the pomp and pageaniry an(5 the opportunity to share in this celebration together as a church community. On Sunday, the celebrations continued using liturgy written especially for the King's Coronation weekend. The service ended with refreshments and Coronation cupcakes. During 2023 we had various teaching topics drawing on the Old and New Testament as well as a discipleship series inspired by John Mark Comer, founding pastorof Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. From January to March, we focused on the John Mark Comer material in a series titled, 'Practising the Way,, which explored 1st century essentials of discipleship for Christians in our 21st Century context. From April to July. tsking inspiration from the life of Moses, we looked at how one man helped shape a nation in a series litled, 'For Ihe Saving of a Nation.. This teaching series focused on discovering our redemptive calling to be'salt and light, in our nation. During August Rev Dominic Furness preached a mini-teaching series exploring thetopic of 'Heaven.' In the Autum Term (September to October) our focus was on 1 Peter, in a series titled 'Living Lrfe in the Overlap., This series explored the tension of the Kingdom of God being present, but not yet fully established, and consequently, what it means to live with hope and perseverance in challenging times. Following the series on 1 Peterwe had several stand-alone services.. A HaNest Celebration. Compassion UK (one of our mission partners); a setvice focusing on climate change and the importance of stewarding Creation,. Remembrance Sunday'open Doors {another of our Mission Partners) focusing on the Persecuted Church. and our annual CAP (Christians Against Poverty) service. In December we focused on Advent and preparing for Dur Christmas celebrations. This included 'Create for Christmas,, a guest event which draws together women in the parish and community to enjoy festive refreshments, make simple grfts and decorations and hear the Christmas message. The Create for Christmas event in 2023 was smaller in scale than in previous years but allowed for more meaningful conversations and community time. Saltmine Theatre Company visited church on Thursday 14th December with their production of Little Red Riding Hood. This event brought together those within the church family and wider community, some of whom would not be able to attend, were it not for the generosity of individuals within the church family and some allocated designaled community funds. Our Carols in thè Round service on the Iolh De￿mber provided a more intimate and informal gathering and was appreciated by all who attended. Emma Lockwood formed a Christmas Choir wtth members from the church who rehearsed throughout November for our Carol Serdice on the 1Fh of December. They helped make the event lo￿ul and memorable for all who attended. The Donkey Crib Service on Christmas Eve was as popular as ever. This year because Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday, we moved the time to 10.30am rather than its usual afternoon time. Going forwards it is anticipated that this popular service will retum to its usual time 4pm in 2024. Our Christmas Day Service was. as in previoL]s years, was well attended. For the final Sunday of the year on the 31SI of December we held simple act ol morning worship with Holy Communion at the special time of 9.30 am. Life Groups Lrfe Groups are central to fulfilling our vision to nurture discipleship at St Paul's. In 2023 over 260 adults were connected or affiliated in some way with a Life Group. Over 50 members ofthe church had some leadership role in a Life Group. Twenty-two groups met regularly. This figure consists of eighteen evening mid-week groups and four day-time mid-week women's groups. In addition to this there is our men's discipleship group 'lron Sharpens Iron, Men led my Nigel Watts and a weekly women's discipleship group led by Cindy Childers. Both these groups invite members who belong to other churches to attend. The Rector and PCC would liketo express theirspecial thanks to Dominic and Alyson Fumess, who in a voluntary capacity serve as Discipleship Coordinators and Pastors for our Lrfe Group Leaders. As part of this role Dominic worked WTth the Rector throughout 2023 planning the teaching curriculum in church. Dominic has also written Life Group matertal that complimented the main Sunday Morning Teaching topics. Children, families, and School's Work Debbie May. our Children's Pastor, describes 2023 as a year of celebration as well as a year of taking time to review the overall vision, strategy and future growth of the children and families work. On the 20th Maywe had a special Saturday open day celebrating ourArk Parentand ToddlerGroup. This occasion marked foty years of journeying with parents and toddlers in our parish. Packets of 'Ark seeds. were given to those who attended to symbolise the last forty years of sowing and planting in the lives of families in our parish. We also built an Ark shaped bug house in the church garden to mark the occasion. Former helpers, leaders and members ofthe grDUP who have atter)ded Ark over the years were invited to this special tslebration. Some former members who had attended as toddlers brought their own children to this event and a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all. A special thanks to 'The Barnabas Trust, and 'Advent Worldwide, for sponsoring this event. The Ark continues to thrive and meets during term on Wednesday mornings. Currently ninety toddlers and their parents andlor guardians are regislered. In October Debbie May launched the'Lego Bible Club, at the Hope Centre. This group meets every Monday during temi time after school. There are currently eighteen children who attend and olhers who keen to join when sPa￿S become available. The cafe space is available for parents to meet and chat informally while the group njns. Our Sunday Moming children's ministry is called, 'Krngdom Kids., Throughout the year we have intentionally created space for the children to grow in confidence in prayer and to engage with God. Kingdom Kids has three distinctive age groups.. Roots (from 3yrs to Reception class), COGS (School Year 1-3) and Focus (School Year 4-61. We are grateful for the dedicated team who come along side our children and support them on theirfaith joumey and serve each week in our groups. During 2023 the teaching CLJrriculum was comprehensive with an emphasis on topics journeying through the Bible. A particular highlight in 2023 was exploring the person and role of the Holy Spirit. The Tuesday Group Focus Hub provides an invaluable space for our older children to forge community and friendships. It a privilege to stsnd back and watch friendships grow strong roots both with Jesus and wth those in the group. A particular point to note is that we are starting to see several pupils frorrt Sarum St Paul's School join mid-week church actwities. This is evidence ot the strong links we have with our church school. Debbie and her team are grateful for God's faithfulness throughoul 2023 in the children and families work ai St Paul's and look to 2024 with a quiet sense of optimism and excitement as to what lies ahead. Sarum St Paul's CofE (Voluntary Assisted) Primary School The Rector continues to chair the Christian Ethos Committee at Ihe school in his capacity as an ex- officio Foundation Governor working alongside the Governing body_ The Rector, on behalf of the PCC. would like to express thanks and note the exemplary work of Mrs Caroline Chitty. who is one of our Foundation Governors and current Chair of Govemors. In her capacity as Chair of Governors Caroline Chitty has made a significant contribution to the life of our church school. Caroline is a constant source of encouragement to stsff members and pupils. She is a pillar of strength to the SLT (senior leadership team) providing wise council and draws upon her own experience and expertise as a recently retired teacher. St Paul's releases Debbie May one afternoon to work atthe school as an ELSA {Emotional Lit&racy Support Assistant) worker. Debbie also leads collective Worship every Wednesday morning and is a much-loved member of the school community- Ministry Amongst Our Young People A top priority for 2023 was to develop and fine-tune the vision and strategy for youth engagement. di8cipleship, Ènd mission. The vision is to be a thriving community of youth on fire for Jesus- a place where the young people of St Paul's Church and Salisbury can safely meet, be positively engaged, and create great memories through various activities. We want our youth to learn and grow personally, socially, spiritually, and morally in the footprints of Jesus to thrive in the present and fulure. At present the youth community comprises forty-one actively engaged young people (school years 7-13) who communicate back to the team and show up to various events in a month. Six of these are from non-church backgrounds, whilst thirty-three represent our "disciple community. who come to various Sunday gatherings (two attènd other churGhesl. In addition to this we are seeking to re- engage with ien youth who have previously tsken part in St. Paul's youth activities but no longer do so. An essential part of our youth engagement and discipleship strategy is to communicate clearly and collaborate with parents. In April 2023, Reuben Shekwo, our Youth Pastor, met with parents, and they were updated about youth ministry and this time included a queslions and feedback session. More frequent parent meetings are planned for 2024. with the aim of m*ting parents bi-annually. During 2023 we have created an aGcsssible, youth-cenired sirategy. as well as a relational and proactive Jesus-centred 17 topic discipleship curriculum and strategy of engagement, that includes opportunities for parent involvement and partnering with other youth ministries and organisations. Six new initiatives and events were planned and introduced in 2023 that reflected youth interests. The Hope Centre has been used increasingly for youth_based activities. It has been important to carefully trial each of the newly created events over sufficienl time to determine engagemeni and fine-tune or change them. Delivering film nights, f8cililaled games nights. self-directed games nights, discussion cafes, outings and Sunday gatherings has been a fun-filled and positively challenging experience providing learning opportunities. It has been encouraging to see a good and increased amount of youth engagement across these new events. Building the youth team has also been a priority with the recruitment of eight new volunteers. Monthly team nurture and development sessions during term time provide pastor81 support, encouragement, and allow for ongoing training and prayer for team members. Updating the youth ministry admin systems has also been a necessary focus, picking up from the impact of the pandemic and period without a youth pastor prior lo September 2022. The youth enjoyed an opportunity to get away and deepen relationships with one another and with Gcid, during our o￿ober Weekend Away to Hill HDuse Christian Centre, Bridgewater. They enjoyed thesetting ofa large manorhouse and engaged in indoorand outdoorgames- archery,. escape room challenges.. walks- and a dance around a fire-pit. The team recognised the v21ue of taking the youth awayforan extended time, which created an opportunity forthe youth to reset and get to know each other better, as well as grow their connection with the team. The youth are keen to have similar times away again. Youth-led group activities (such as book club, worship, and Sunday Tech teams) have been created with the aim of equipping and empowering the youth to experience leading groups. Sèven potential youih leaders met in November and were excited about participaling in youth-led groups. This is a promising area of youth ministry that we are keen to explore further in 2024. Partnerships and relalioJ)ships with other local youth ministries at St Francis, Salisbury Baptist Church, and Grace Church ha5 been facilitated through a monthly meeting beDNeen youth pastors organised by The Br(dge Youth Project. It is the hope that further opportunities for collaboration and partnerships can be explored in 2024. Towards the end of 2023 Reuben invested time in developing an After School Youth Lounge based at the Hope Centre. The vision 18 to develop an outreach and safe space for yotrth to meet after school. have light food, play games, do homework, and meet informally with other youth in 2024. 2023 ended with our Christmas paty where over thity youth g8thered beginning with a Christmas meal, followed by various game stations. One of the highlights featured a mechanical rodeo reindeer, which the youth had a fun time with. Looking back over 2023 we are encouraged by some of the foundations that have been set and are Icioking to build on this nexL year. One of the goals of 2024 is to be more inlentional in outreach to the youth in our city, while Continuing to build on the progress we have made this year. Hope Centre, SP2 Cafe and City Outreach In February 2023. Ihe PCC made a difficult decision to close the SP2 Cafe and reduce activities within the Hope Centre. This decision was prompted bytwo majorfactors.. 1). The post-pandemic context has resulted in a signrficant increase of more challenging and complex needs within the community {e.g. increasing numbers of vulnerable people with complex mental health issues). This required specialist support which could not be expected of staff and volunteers. In response to these changes the PCC inttiated 8 review of St Paul's response to outreach in our parish and Clty. 21 The staff team at the Hope Centre had changed significantly towards the end of 2022. Our Community Pastor had left in October creating a skill gap in our provision and ministry to the vulnerable. In December, our Community Chef also resigned resulting in further pressures and responsibilities falling on our Sp2 Cafe and Hope Centre Manager, and volunteers. The reduction of staff and the increase of complex issues presenting in the communty precipttated the need forsomething to change. Our part-time SP2 Cafe and Hope Centre Manager resigned in January 2023 and the decision was made byihe PCC to close the SP2 Cafe on the 24th of February 2023. The Church Wardens and PCC expressed thanks lo Kim Ryalls for her significant contribution to the ministry of the SP2 Cafe in recent years. We 8150 hosted a meal at the Hope Centre for our SP2 Cafe for all our volunteers lo thank thern for their hard work. The review St Paul's outreach initiated by the PCC was tasked to Forest Paget, a member of St Paul's church, who led a steering group to gather feedback from a15 those involved in our Community outreach in and through the Hope Centre. The findings of this review were collated by Forest Paget and Andy Ferguson, Church Warden, and feedback was given to the PCC on bNO open days in April and May. The overarching aim of our community ministry framework is to draw people closerto Christ by whatwe provide. We also concluded that the community ministry framework musi create a conlext in which St Paul's members can express their Christian discipleship and serve others. It must have clear focus and boundaries ensuring Ihat it is well resourced and well run. Four core components ware identified to help achieve this= l) Facilitate a network of Selisbury Organis8tions supporting the vulnerable that we can steer individuals too- or partner with, to help enable these organisations deliver their service- 2) Use the Hope Centre lo priorit15e the Salisbury CAP Det)t Centre Ministry, which is one of our most fruitful ministries., 3} To focus on targeted venue hire with Ioc81 businesses andlor organisations whose purpose is akin to our Christian ethos and vision. 41 The PCC concluded that, subject to SLrfficient funding being in place, the preferred option would be to reopen the SP2 Cafe_ However, prior to this happening the PCC identrfied other staffing requirements that needed to take priority. The PCC approved the recruitment of a Venue and Tech Administrator to help the church make the best use of our buildings and facilities for internal and outside groups. The PCC also approved the recruitment of an Associate leaderto work alongside the Rectorwith responsibility for Mission Engagement and Discipleship. Throughout 2023 the Hope Centre was in constant use as a venue for CAP Drop-in. youth and children's work, and Alpha. City Exchange Cty Exchange is an initiattve where charities, churches and other agencies invested in supporting people in our cornmunity can network and share what is happening across the city- City Network has been co-hosted and led by Dur Children's Pastor. Debbie M8y and Charlotte Bell, our CAP Debt Centre Manager. It is anticipated that when an Associate Leader is appointed, helshe will be responsible for this developing and working with this network. CAP (Christians Against Povety) Central to our outreach at St Paul's is our pannership with CAP. Since the Sallsbury CAP Debt Centre opened in November 2014, we have seen 104 people become debt free and 41 individuals have made either a first-time response or recommitment to Jesus. Over the course of 2023, 11 people became debtfree and 2 people made a first-time response. Stalistics do not communicate the full story. It is worth noting that every person we encounter through CAP gets to experience God's love in action, whether it is via the Drop-in, Life Group, during a vigit. or at a client event. We continue to support people practically where appropriate or signpost, if necessary, pray with them, encourage them along the way- whetherthey are debt free or not. Everyone is welcome, accepted and loved. All are on a journey with God, and they are helped through our amazing teem ofvolunteers. the church family, and thmugh the message of hope, love and grace which is al the heart of the gospel. In 2023, the focus has been on growing relationships with other churches, agencies, and organisations to better tailor the setvice to meet the needs of individual clients_ These needs have become significantly more complex in terms of mental health since the centre first opened. With the cost of living impacting so many individuals, families, and communities, and thus causing many more to sink further below the poverty line, CAP'S services have been needed like never before. Continuing to build relationships outside of client appointments has remained key, especially through the wÈekly Drop-in at the Hope Centre. A decision was made in October to end the Life Group, due to numbers dwindling and the need to make it more relevant to CAP client demographics. The decision Coincided with Drop-in numbers increasing, particularly with new clients. This proved to be a pivot81 time for the Drop-in. The group had been experiencing grief over the loss of one of their regular members ir) April, and the dynamics of the group were changing as the numbers were growing. so more pastoral support was needed from core team members. The name'Life Group, might now be more appropriate forthe Drop-in, where a Christ- centred approach continues to bind its members together and welcom& new ones to it. as they seek io do life together. The summer saw Ihe retum of our annual picnics in Queen Elizabeth Gardens, much to the delight of various former and current clients, as well as volunteers. Thèse evenings have proved popular over the years, giving us the opportunity to bring together some of the wider CAP family, including children. During 2023, the centre held 4 client events. The first one in February was a fish and chips dinner with games, quiz, and live music in Fisherton Hall. In Jun& we hosted a piaa evening in the Hope Centre, w(th a former client, also a current team member reading a poem they had written about faith through tough limes. Our next event in July was a women's craft workshop in the Hope Centre, during which a team member shared their story of f21th. Our final and largest evangelistic event of the year was a dinner held in Novembei in Fisherton Hall, followed by a former client sharing their testimony. These events continue to strengthen existing relationships and grow new ones, whilst impacting our clients, journeys of faith as they hear people share their personal stories of God's transformativè love and grace. Our annu31 CAP Sunday celebration took plaTr on the first Sunday in Advent, wtth a former client lighting the Advent candle. Many clients and volunteers attended the service and around 40 people gathered afterwards in Fisherton Hall for a shared lunch. The following day, the Drop-in group displayed Salisbury CAP'S first ever Christmas tree enlitled 'Always Hope, at St Thomas, annual Christmas Tree Festival. Both clients and volunteers had written what hope meant to them on wooden hearts and hung them from the tree. Visitors to the festival were invited to 8dd their own messages Df hope, which they could altach to wrapped boxes under the tree. When the team came to collect the tree a week later, not only were there many tagged gffts, but the Iree itself was covered wth messagesl That same week was spent gathering donalions to put logether Christmas hampers for clients. 23 bags offestive treats and gifts were wrapped, packed, and delivered by various members of the church family. The centre re￿iVed such generous donations for their h8mp&rs, that they were also able to buy a few 8ir fryers to bless various individual clients and families. In 2023, Alderbury Deanery nominated oursalisbury CAP Centre as its chosen charity- Through a series of talks, and thanks to other fundraising events hosted by various churches across the Deanery, almost £4,000 was raised for CAP. The deanery was so inspired, they decided lo nominate us again in 20241 Funding needs to be an ongoing focus for St Paul's, as does raising awareness and the profile of the centre here and across the Church in Salisbury, to ensure that this vital and fruittul work can continue to flourish and benefr( more people in our community in desperate need of hope and help. CAP MONEY COURSE CAP Money has continued to run money coaching courses in Salisbury throughout 2023. The course material has had a total makeover in 2023, with18tesl videos and new handbooks being ntroduced. As such, it now deals with current topics like frauds, using cards and dealing with credit. We have run both one-day and 4-session courses during thè year. These have included a course for Entrain Space who work with ex-services personnel. for Sarum Academy students and for those attending the CAP Drop-in in the Hope Centre. We ar8 also running monthly Bite- size sessions for the CAP Drop-in which 15 working well. Our aim is to release paople from the fear of their finan￿$ and set them free to be in control. Although most delegates would admit that they are stnjggling with money, the course works equally well for people who are not struggling, but nevertheless are aware that they are not managing their finances as well as they could be. Our ch211eng8 for 2024 is to get the message out to people that CAP Money Coaching is not to be shied away from but exists to empower people. St Pauls Mission Support Committee (MSC) The missionary heart of St. P8uI's church means that regularly there are several individual members of the church who sense God calling them lo serve in the wider mission of the church. It is currently St Paul's Church policy that 12.5ty/o of all giving to the Church be allocated to mission-related causes. The mission fund allocation in 2023 was £40,600.

In additlDn to ihe work of the MSC St Paul's enables the financial SUPPDrt of Christian activities in olher ways such as holding CAP Sundays and using Christmas Carol serdice collections. The collections from the 2023 Christmas Carol SeNices were shared between CAP & FSCI {House of Opportunity) which meant that both received £1,100. St Paul's has been involved with child sponsorship through Compassion UK since 2009. Currently individual members of St Paul's sponsor 93 children which amounts to around £36,000 of sponsorship each year (sponsors give directly to Compassion UK and therefore this figure does not appear in our charity accounts). Safeguarding The Rector and Parish Safeguarding Officer{s) continue to liaise with the Diocesan Safeguarding Officers on all matters relating to safeguarding. Safeguarding remains a standard agenda item at every PCC and Standing Committee meeting at St Paul's. The PCC has adopted the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance which has been approved by the House of Bishops and must, where relevant, be followed by all Church Bodies and Church Officers. In March 2023 Kerry Badger resigned as the St Paul's Parish Safeguarding Officer. Kerry Badger had been employed in a part-time ￿pacItY by Si Paul's PCC in this role since October 2022. In the interim the Rector assumed PSO responsibility until we could appoint new PSO'S. In consultation with Salisbury Diocese tho Rector piloted a safeguarding hub at St Paul's sharing the responsibiltties of this role between two people. Meg MLJrphy agreed to be our PSO for Children and YDUth and Stewart Ruston our PSO for adults. During the summ8rthey both worked in parallel wtLh the Rector. They were publicly acknowledged as PSO'S in our 10.30am service on National Safeguarding Sunday, which this year was on the19th of November. There were no major safeguarding concems reported to the PCC in 2023. Planned Upgrades for IT Systems approved for 2024 The PCC committed to several projects scheduled fornextyearto upgrade our ITsystems to ensure that our cyber security and our social media and online presence is fit for purpose. The first project is to migrate from Google to Microsoft teams and oulside sourcing our IT provision and maintenance to a third-paty company. Then we plan to move to 'Church Suite, church administration SO￿are, 12 which allows church members to access and use the church database and provides a more effective platform for groups to organise team rotss and manage Life Groups and the church membership. The PCC also approved plans to outside source a design company to create a new and improved website that is more user friendly. 2. Financial Review a. Overview The church's General Fund had a surplus of income above expendilure of £8.207 in 202312022.. £17,126). This was after a number of transfers between funds-, a transfer of £40,600 to the Mission designated fund, a transfer to the IT Project designated fund of £15.000, a transfer Df £1.080 tc) the CAP fund, and a transfer from the St Paul's Ministry fvnd of £7,884 and from the Grants for Specific Purposes Fund of £3,159. This positive financial position for the General Fund was due to lower-than- expected staff and enèrgy costs and a delay on the IT project. The overall movement on total unresiricted funds, which is the general fund combined with designated funds, was a surplus of£23,568 (2022.. £39,173) with tot21 unrestricted funds moving from £650,163 at the start of 2023 to £673,731 by the end of 2023. Totsl unrestricted income for 2023 was £450,127 {2022: £477,500) which was £27,373 lower than 2022 due to the closure of SP2 café but also due to slightly lower donations. Total unrestricted expenditure for 2023 was £428,63812022.' £443,964) which was £14.956 lower than 2022 due to lower staff costs and lower SP2 costs. Alongside the general fund. the church maintains several restricted funds to support aspects of Ihe church's ministry. At the end of 2023, Ihe total balance across all restricted funds was £32,12812022.. £47,418) which was £15.290 lower than at the end of 2022. This overall movemenl included decrease in the balance for the CAP fund of £1 1,790 to £16,551 and a transfer from the Grants for Specific Purposes fund of £3,159 to the General Fund. We remain very aware that every pound given to the minlstry ofthe Church is a pound that could have been spent on something else by the giver. We take nothing for granted and are grateful for the faithful generosity of church members. b. Reserves Policy In establishing a Reserves Policy, the PCC agreed that= _ Free reseNes are defined as the net current assets heSd by the General Fund. This definition excludes the value of the loan repayments beyond the end of the following year (repayments from 2025 onwerdsl. To ensure Ihai sufficient funds are available to cover the fluctLJations in income and expenditure. the General Fund Reserve target should cover approximately 3 months essential running costs for the following year, for 2023 the target figure is £120,000. As of the 31$1 December 2023. the Free ResaTves stood at £113,735. which is only slightly below the iarget figure and compares to £110,560 for the previous year end. If the longer-term element of the loan were included, free reseNes would fall to £70,281 (ln 2022 the figure was £56,546). c. The Future The trustees have no Un￿rtaIntieS about Ihe charity's ability to continue as a going concern. We are thankful to God for considerable slrength in depth across a wicle range of ministries. and we continue to commit ourselves lo being a biblically based church seNing Salisbury and the region. 3. Structure Governan￿ and Management a. Structure and Governance The governing documeni for the PCC is the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended) and it has been a registered charity since 2009 having previously been exempted from registration. The role of the PCC (whose members are also trustees for the purposes of charity lawl is to cooperate wtEh the Rector in promoting the whole mission of the church. which is summarised in the mission statement abDve. The PCC gather for.. evening meetings, arranged strategically throughout the year, occasional prayer meetings, and occèsional half-days focusing on projects or topics that require more attention. The membership of the PCC includes the clergy licensed within the parish, the church wardens who are elected annually by the Parochial Church Meeting, members of deanery and other synods and members who are elected for a thre&year term of office by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Newly appointed trustees are trained and guided by currently serving trustees. b. Management and Staffing St Paul's continues to follow a policy of recruiting paid stsff onto the Team in the following situations= 1. Where the ministry is so vital that it demands the continuity that only paid staff can provide. 2. The necessary skills required are not present in the congregation. 3. The size of a particular ministry is larger than could be expected from a volunteer. Two new stTrteglc rol&s were identified lo help revitèlise key areas of ministry and mission in 2023. In September we appointed Mrs Louise Upton as our new full-time church administrator wtth responsibilities for Venue and Technology. The PCC also agreed to fund an Associate Leader with responsibility for Mission Engagement and Discipleship to assist the Rector with a view to recruiting this role early next year. 14 In 2023 we saw several Dtherchanges in the staff team. In February, as reported above, Kim Ryalls stepped down as ourSP2 Cafe and Hope Centre Manager. In July Jane Renyard retired in her part- time role of church administralor with responsibility for safeguarding administratiDn. In November Glyn Evans notified the Church Wardens that hewas no longer able to carry outsorne of the essential tssks previously covered by a Buildings Manager who left in March 2022. Glyn Evans had kindly agreed to provide a short to mid-term solution to ensure the mid-week 8nd Sunday activities church could continue without disruption. We were able to draw upon some of our young people in church about to go to university who helped cover the gaps for the remainder of the year. In a similar arrangement to Glyn Evans, they submitted invoices for their work and the PCC reimbursed them for their time. The church body expresaes ils huge thanks to all the staff team for their dedicated service and example during the last year. The costs of staffing are set out in the notes to Ihe financi81 statements note 12 page 27. The church's key management personnel for the purposes of FRS102 are the pastoral leadership team. This is made up ofthe Rector{who is not an employee ofthe PCCI. Youth Pastor and Children's Pastor. Their pay. alongside that of all employees of the PCC is set by the PCC'S remuneration committee consisting of the Rector, Churchwardens and Treasurer. The committee draws on its members, experience in both the charity and commercial sectors to set salaries which reflect the value of work which is carried out and which will enable qualified candidates to be able to take up posts. No member of 5tsff is paid lèss than the Living Wage Found8tion real living wage. Each year pay is reviewed in line with nationally published dats on the cost of living and national salary trends. 4.
