Tring Team Parish
Report for the Charity Commissioners for the year 2021.
While the aim, purpose and objectives remained the same for our Parish in 2021 compared to previous years some of the changes made due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 remained in place and impacted on the way worship could be conducted through 2021 as well. Indeed, some services were still recorded in advance.
Aim and purposes
The PCC of the Tring Team Parish has the responsibility of working with the incumbent, the Rev Huw Bellis and other clergy, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The PCC also has responsibility for the maintenance of the five churches in the parish and the parish halls. Our five churches are St John the Baptist in Aldbury, All Saints in Long Marston, St Marys in Puttenham, St Peter and St Paul in Tring and St Cross in Wilstone.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship in the five churches and encourages them to become members of our church communities. Although the individual church DCCs organise the day to day running of their churches, the PCC maintains the overall pattern of worship across the team so many styles and liturgies can be experienced by the many groups of all ages that live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into action through prayer, scripture, study, music and sacrament.
When we plan our activities, we have taken due regard of the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We have a strong belief in discipleship and enabling our congregations to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer, learning about Jesus and His call and what it means to us to be his followers, and developing our faith in Him
-
Pastoral care of people living in the Parish
-
Missionary and outreach.
Achievements and performance
Worship and prayer
Across the team in our five churches, we normally seek to provide a pattern of worship that offers a full range of services throughout the week as well as Sundays that provide spiritual fulfilment and nourishment to all ages.
While we would normally try to offer refreshments after every service, knowing how this has helped us get to know each other and also to provide prayer and pastoral care when needed, this was obviously not possible for most of the year. All our services are open to everyone and it is a joy to welcome new people in.
The daily office is said in several of the churches on a rotational basis and we have two groups weekly that study and practice meditation. Evening prayer is said at All Saints each month. We have mid-week communions at St Peter and St Paul. At St Marys every month there is an evening prayer service and a BCP service in the afternoon. We continue to offer 8am Sunday services at two of our churches, some weekly and some monthly with both Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. Our main Sunday morning services in four of our churches, are either Common worship Holy Communion, Morning Prayer or the more informal Worship for All. The Worship for All services continue to be very popular, particularly with the younger members of our congregations and young families. There is a monthly evening communion service at St Peter and St Paul. This is an alternative style service allowing much room for innovation. We continue to review and improve the quality of the services and normally use screen projection which is appreciated by most. However, particularly as it meant worship could take place during the pandemic when lockdown restrictions allowed. The services are led by clergy or different groups of lay members with clergy involvement as well.
2021 did see an easing in restrictions so that Mothering Sunday and Easter services could take place in church, which was wonderful news. Church meetings continued to take place via Zoom and this allowed the AGM (APCM) to take place on 12[th] May – only slightly later in the year compared to pre-Covid. This delay looks set to be the pattern for the future even after life has returned to normal.
The booking system implemented during the pandemic to allow track-and-trace was continued after it had been abandoned in other public venues in order to provide reassurance to our congregation. The screen projection system displaying order of services is now an accepted by everyone as part of the worship in St Peter & St Paul. Streaming services remains part of what we routinely do now despite the fact that most people who can are now worshipping in our churches again. It was also good to welcome the schools back into church over the Christmas period after having all of the school services cancelled last Christmas.
Our Youth Café and young adults’ group began to operate as normal, although the young adults’ group is currently taking a break. Obviously, Banns and weddings resumed this year as did Christenings, albeit with reduced numbers attending them in the first part of the year. One of the most challenging times for our clergy is when they help families through bereavement and take funeral services and this was made even more challenging due to Covid, but was back to normal by the end of the year. The monthly theological book club was also taking place as normal by the end of the year having started the year on Zoom.
Pastoral care
Pastoral care covers so many areas that overlap with services and social events it is sometimes difficult to evaluate how much we do. However, we have a team of people, both clergy and lay, who take home communions round or visit our housebound members, which we know is valued. We try to keep in touch with bereaved families and visit if needed. We keep the church open all day (along with St John the Baptist) and a particular focus is the Lady Chapel where we have votive candles and a box for prayer requests. We are delighted that the box is used by many people (both our members and the wider community) and these people are remembered at the daily office and before our 10am service. We try to identify pastoral need within our groups e.g., Mothers’ Union, choir etc and to give prayer and support through these groups.
Having four church schools gives us an opportunity to give pastoral care to families and staff. This year Revd Jane Banister and Revd Michelle Grace jointly worked in their roles as School Chaplains working with Tring School, our local academy senior school with well over 1500 students, when the school was opened and it was feasible.
Mission and Evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Our Transforming Communities group (formally the mission committee) is to be congratulated on their tireless fundraising. Each year they ask the congregations to nominate charities or causes that we should support as well as our continuing links. We also respond to urgent and immediate needs such as famine and disaster relief charities. This year fundraising was slightly easier than in 2020 and we did manage to raise £9,722 for other charities, but as usual this was the total that went through our bank account and more will have been raised that went direct to charities concerned – particularly from the DENS sleep out. The noteworthy amounts raised were £1,904 for the Bishops Harvest appeal "Water for Life", £916 for the DENS Sleep Out in December. Our accounts show £698 to the Children’s Society but that doesn’t include the fantastic box opening garden party; and then there is our major fundraiser for Christian Aid which goes directly to the charity. With the wonderful match funding our mega stick Sunday raised at least £13,400.
Deanery Synod
We currently have two elected lay members to Deanery Synod as well as the clergy. A few meetings of the Lay chairs from the Archdeaconries of Hertford and St Albans taken place with the Archdeacons via Zoom and the first in-person meeting took place in October.
Buildings
Having five old churches, most listed, is a challenge but our loyal team of churchwardens and volunteers have ensured they are kept in good repair.
At St Peter and St Paul work on the Clergy Vestry could not be done in 2020 due to Covid restrictions.
At All Saints Lyn Mathias has dome some repair on outside stonework of building. The replacing of new heating bulbs should be happening soon, and we have had our five-year electrical survey. The path and some internal plastering had previously been identified as needing to be done. The plastering is aesthetic and will be left for later but the path will be addressed ASAP.
At St John the Baptist minor work has been completed and major work is being discussed with contractors to hopefully be progressed in 2022.
The Quinquennial work rescheduled for 2021 at St Mary’s remains outstanding due to the specialist workers being backlogged.
St Cross had their Quinquennial this year and the main fabric of the building is in a satisfactory condition. The Deterioration in the decking now very evident and should be dealt with in 2022.
We have two separate halls adjoining our churches and generally are in good repair. The halls, particularly the parish hall in Tring, are used by the community as well as us. The Stepping Stones pre-school and a ballet school have continued using the parish hall once lockdown restrictions were lifted. We own one further hall, near Tring Station. The Iron Room by Tring Station which had been impacted by lockdown and restricted in what it could host, but by the end of the year was operating normally.
Ecumenical relationships.
Tring Team are normally active members of Churches Together in Tring and have lay reps as well as the clergy, but this year all joint activities were cancelled due to Covid.
Financial Review
See separate accounts for an in-depth summary and review of our financial position.
Structure, governance and management
The parish is a single benefice with 5 parish churches, each of which elects a District Church Council (DCC) and also elects members to serve on the Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is the legal body for the whole parish. Members of the PCC are ex officio members of their local DCC. The role of each DCC is to look after the day-to-day activities of its individual church, including maintenance, use by outside bodies, assistance with organising services and other activities which relate to the particular building and congregation. Any decisions it makes are passed to the PCC for its approval and ratification. There are parish wide committees, which deal with Mission activities, Finance and Education. There is a Sunday club in one of the churches and various parish wide organisations including Mothers’ Union, Men’s Society, Youth Cafe and Young Adults. The PCC and DCCs meet five times each year and there is an Annual Church meeting for each district before the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in May.

– Tring Team Accounts 2021 Report from the Treasurer to the PCC
The Tring Team finances are made up of our five churches, two separate church halls, the Team Scheme and parish investment accounts. A glossary is included at the end of this report, but if there is anything that needs more explanation or clarity, please contact Vivianne Child (vchild@childassociates.co.uk).
These comments accompany the two pages of figures headed “income and expenditure” and “balance sheet” below.
Summary
Life in 2020 and 2021 was dominated by the Covid pandemic and we now have two unique years of financial activity where we tried hard to forecast income and expenditure against an ever-changing world. In 2020, the net financial impact of Covid was a loss of £22K. In 2021 this figure was a loss of £10K. In this report last year, we talked about ‘returning to normal’ but, in financial terms, a lot of things have changed forever. Will we ever pass round the collection plate again? Will people start to carry cash again? Probably not.
What is clear is that we are spending more than we receive. Tring Team Parish ended 2021 with another deficit, this time £10K (excluding a legacy). It is impossible to offer any comparison to a previous year that is relevant, but the Finance Group offer the slightly Mr Micawber insight that we need to increase our income to pay for all the good work that we (the Parish) want to undertake.
However, looking at the unique 2021, total income was very similar to 2020, ignoring a £43K legacy. Our income was £260,133 plus a legacy of £43,059. Many thanks to all those people who contribute to the Teamscheme and to those who were able to increase their giving in 2021.
Total expenditure was also very similar to last year, at £270,024. There are some ups and downs across different areas of expenditure but the overall message is ‘thank you’. Thank to everyone who treats church funds as carefully as they do their own money. Thank you to those who make sure that we pay people fairly, use good local suppliers where possible and are as thrifty as possible with our ancient buildings.

Income and Expenditure
The Income and Expenditure statement is shown at the end of this document. On the right-hand side there are four columns to show the total income and expenditure for 2021, and a column for each type of fund that we have. On the left of these is a column which shows last year’s totals for comparison purposes.
If you look at the rows on the same page then you can see the breakdown of our income and expenditure. Below there are some brief explanations for each category.
On the income rows :-
Planned Giving for 2021 was £103,584, which held up well compared to 2020, when there were a sizable number of one-off donations. Planned Giving includes all those donations made under the Team Scheme umbrella and their associated gift aid recovery. The gift aid recovery from HMRC for 2021 was £31,825 which is a wonderful gift to the Parish.
The commitment that joining the Team Scheme brings, enables the PCC to plan the finances of the parish with more certainty. The scheme also allows the parish to reclaim gift aid. For every £100 donated a further £25 is recovered from the government.
Collections, donation. Collections have bounced back from the lowest levels of 2020, but are still running at 40% less than pre-Covid levels. Donations are almost exactly the same level as last year.
The Parish are extremely grateful to Leslie Barker and his executors for the legacy of £43,049 received in the year. Grants include reclaiming VAT for work on listed church buildings.
Letting income for our three halls, the Chapter House, Cecilia Hall and the Parish Hall, at £19,474 was almost back to pre-Covid levels. Thank you to the hall committees who have managed the safe return of hall hirers as soon as was practical.
The Fees income of £15,086 represents the monies we receive for weddings, baptism, funerals and thanksgivings, less expenses and that part of the fee that we send to St Albans Diocese. This figure is back above 2019 levels, which is very heartening. And thank you to Trish and the Ministry Team who have a firm grip on what is owed to the Team for all these events that are so important to our community.
Fundraising. There are green shoots of recovery in Parish Fundraising. Much of our fundraising campaigns are for other charities, however was are very grateful to John Stack from Tring Blues Bar and Richard & Jane Shardlow from Tring Brewery who brought jazz to St Peter and St Paul in November 2021. The evening raised £1,500 for church funds.
Rent from land or buildings. Rental income of £17,460 is from the two houses at New Mill Place, together with some rental for the allotments at New Mill.
Dividends and interest income of £2,280, reflecting low rates of interest and our reduced levels of investment.
Page 3 of 9
On the expenditure rows :-
The Parish donated £9,722 to Mission 2021. This represented about 4% of our total income (exc. the legacy) and is half what we gave in 2019, pre-pandemic. However, remember how difficult it was to run fund-raising events in the last two years. Perhaps this is one area where we can hope to ‘return to normal’.
Here are a few examples; the Team raised £1,904 for the Bishops Harvest appeal "Water for Life", £916 for the DENS Sleep Out in December, There are also some smaller donations made to individuals in need, for example in supporting the family flooded from their home in New Mill. Of course, the figure which we report at the AGM only reflects the money which goes through our accounts. For the DENS sleep out a lot more money went directly to DENS; our accounts show £698 to the Children’s Society but that doesn’t include the fantastic box opening garden party; and then there is our major fundraiser for Christian Aid which goes directly to the charity. With the wonderful match funding received by Annette Reynolds and Richard Abel for our mega stick Sunday, at least £13,400 was raised.
We paid £163.488 in Parish Share, our biggest single item of expenditure, in full. This was at the same level as last year’s payment. The Parish Share pays for our Ministry Team (housing and pension contributions, stipends, national insurance etc.), plus central costs for training new ministers and supporting retired clergy.
Clergy expenses , which are the day-to-day expenses of our clergy team, have increased, returning closer to 2019 levels.
Church Running Expenses in total, which cover Utilities, Insurance, Maintenance, Church Service Costs, Upkeep of our Churchyards and all our Parish Admin costs, were £40,484, very similar to previous years. We are bracing ourselves for increased fuel prices in 2022.
Costs Relating to Trading includes the Church Hall Running costs of £9,296 relating to the Parish and Cecilia Halls. Even though we weren’t able to rent out our halls as much as in previous years, the halls are still showing a surplus. Trading also includes the cost of selling Comment Magazine in our churches. This year the Comment magazine bank account was closed and the funds moved into the Team Parish account. Thank you for Barbara and Barry Anscombe for managing the finances of the advertisers and the subscribers so diligently.
The Salaries, Wages and Honoraria row covers organists, visiting clergy expenses and admin support. The cost for 2021 was £10,925. The team pays the living wage or more to all our admin and cleaning support. Thank you to them for all they do.
The Cost of Generating Funds covers two areas: the cost of Raising Funds (£1,761) and the cost of Management of Assets (£2,062). The cost of Raising Funds includes refreshments, piano tuning, shared concert proceeds and financial charges. The Management of Assets relates to the costs associated with our properties at New Mill such as water charges, insurance and maintenance.
Major repairs, decoration and new building work relates to major projects that the parish undertakes. These projects are more significant than day to day running costs and normally need financing separately. The work done in 2021 was as follows:
-
£18,078, StP&StP vestry and associated drainage work (grant from FOTCH)
-
• £1,158 All Saints Quinquennial work
-
£1,636 StP&StP installation of the Edward Barber notice boards. (grant from the Grenadier Guards)

Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet is shown below. Total Net Assets for Tring Team Parish at the end of 2021 were £243,099. This is decrease of almost £10,000, ignoring (for now) the legacy.
These Total Net Assets are spread across the three types of fund as follows:
Unrestricted funds of £86,219
These are the general bank funds from St John’s, St Mary’s and the Team account. Together they represent the cash available to the Parish on a day-to-day basis. This amount represents approximately four months expenditure and is therefore a prudent amount of money to have readily available.
Designated Funds of £156,355
The following are the descriptions of our Designated funds. Remember, however, that the use of Designated funds can be changed by agreement of the PCC/DCC.
-
Mission Funds. “Money that is raised at Mission fundraising events but has not yet been allocated to specific causes”.
-
The Discretionary Fund - “ To be used for the betterment and wellbeing of the clergy and the people of the Parish ”.
-
The Legacy Fund . The parish has adopted a policy of designating any donations received by way of legacies, to ensure that the funds are used for a specific project within the parish
-
“
-
• St Peter and St Paul Organ fund. A fund to be used when the organ in Tring needs a major overhaul”
-
St Peter and St Paul Lighting Fund – containing the revenues and costs for the replacement of internal and external lighting. This fund is currently overspent.
-
The St Mary’s Fabric Fund was created in 2006 and the money is invested in a CCLA Deposit Account.
-
The Tring Church of England Education Fund – “To promote education in accordance with CofE principles by providing items not paid for by public funds”. This fund is held with the Diocesan Board of Finance and increases each year by the addition of dividends from the units held.
-
The House Fund – “ To provide a dwelling for a member of the clergy ”. This fund was created when we sold St Martha’s Lodge and put the money into a fund to replace the dwelling should the need arise. The income comes from interest from this fund which is held with the Diocesan Board of Finance.
Restricted Funds £525
This is money raised by the handbell ringers for any necessary maintenance on the handbells.

Other notes to the accounts
-
We receive the accounts for the Iron Room. The Iron Room, Tring Station, is owned by the Parish but is operated and maintained by the Tring Station Residents Association. There are no costs or liabilities accruing to the Parish for the continued operation of this hall.
-
We still own title to part of the Long Marston Allotments. As such we are entitled to any income, or liabilities, generated.
G lossary
-
Restricted funds – monies that were given for a specific purpose.
-
Designated funds – monies put aside by the PCC/DCCs for a specific purpose, but they can change the designation if desired.
-
Unrestricted funds – general monies for any purpose.
-
Parish Share – the amount paid to our Diocese to cover clergy costs, pensions, housing, training and central church costs
-
Team Scheme – the Tring Team Parish financial stewardship fund. If you give money by standing order, annual cheque or regular envelope giving then the money goes into this account. This is primarily targeted to pay for Parish Share. Any excess over and above Parish Share would make a contribution to Mission, Education and Parish Administration costs.
Acknowledgements
In pulling together this document I am representing the finance group. I can’t take any of the credit, but I will take the blame for any errors that you would like to point out to me.
We offer a special thank you to Phil Lawrence who has been counting and banking cash for the team for many years. Phil decided to retire in 2021 and we are very grateful for his service to the church.
The finance group consists of Peter Williams (Parish and St John’s treasurer and overseer of all income, including gift aid), Lucy Brittain (overseer of all expenditure), Alison Cockerill (payments into the bank), Trish Dowden (fees and invoicing), John Whiteman (financial acumen and report writing), Rev Huw Bellis (fabric, online payments and stewardship) and myself. Thank you to Phil Lawrence and Janet Goodyer for running the bank payments for part of the year. Thank you also to Ernestine Matthews for taking care of the finances of St Mary’s and Cecilia Hall. Last but absolutely not least, Chris Hoare is still a massive presence in the group. We are hoping that 2022 sees a fresh start for the new members of the group and that we won’t be calling Chris quite so often in the future. Thank you Chris!
