Structure, Governance and Management

Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain exofficio members (the Incumbent/Priest-in-Charge, Curate, Lay Readers licensed to officiate in the church), the Churchwardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synods and up to 15 members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.

The PCC is responsible for a wide range of matters affecting the parish, including compliance with health and safety and disability legislation and child protection. In their capacity as trustees, members of the PCC are responsible for the stewardship of funds and for the appropriate accounting and reporting of the parish finances. The PCC works to ensure that each member of the committee is equipped to fulfil their role. New members of the PCC are welcomed at the first PCC after the APCM and care is taken to help them assume the responsibilities of their role. The PCC Secretary and Treasurer are also elected at this meeting. The Churchwardens, Secretary and Treasurer are invited to attend courses run by the Diocese on their particular work. Regular mailings from the Diocese keep these officers up to date with changes in church regulations and financial procedure and these are reported to the whole PCC as appropriate. The PCC has appointed Jo Whiteman as Safeguarding Officer who is responsible for the implementation of the PCC’s Safeguarding Policy and which includes ensuring that a DBS (Data Barring Service) search is conducted on all those who work with children and vulnerable adults in the church. The PCC arranges for a representative of appropriate church groups to attend First Aid courses. The Wardens and Deputy Wardens are made familiar with fire prevention and appropriate procedures by the local Fire Safety Officer. This training is renewed regularly.

Committees

Standing and Finance Committee

This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to the powers given to it by the Council. It also oversees the general financial dimension of the work of All Saints’ by monitoring income and expenditure, budgeting and maintaining appropriate financial controls and making an annual review of the Christian Stewardship of money through planned giving.

Pastoral sub-Committee

Organises the visiting of the housebound and sick and has general care of the welfare of all Church members. During 2022 three people, Mrs Beryl Twitchett, Mr Bernard Watts and Mrs Christine Costambeys have continued as pastoral care coordinators to help with the pastoral care of the parish, These co-ordinators are assisted by many in the congregation to help with pastoral care. Small Groups take on much Pastoral Care as well.

Missions sub-Committee

Attends to the support of mission and relief agencies and helps allocate our financial support to the same. It has been chaired by Revd James Knowles (Vicar).

Staff team and staff meetings

Strictly speaking these are not PCC subcommittees but they operate with the full knowledge and support of the PCC and for the sake of tidiness are best included here.

The staff team look broadly at the life of the church, not to make policy or financial decisions but to seek to implement the wishes of the PCC as far as possible within the life of the church. The weekly staff meetings consist of times of bible study and prayer and then to look thoroughly at our programme and make sure that things are in place for the smooth operating of church life.

The staff do a considerable amount of planning of events and activities. The staff seek to make sure volunteers are in place and are supported. The staff make sure that all the details connected with Sunday Worship are in place and that the issues each staff member would wish to raise are attended to.

Objectives and Activities

The primary objective of All Saints’ PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ according to the historic and orthodox biblical doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission and ministry of the Church.

The main objectives of the PCC are:

Review of the Year

All Saints continues to be at its heart an Evangelical Church. This means we have a deep love for the Lord Jesus Christ, and we hold to a genuine belief that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word. In all things we want to be shaped by what the scriptures tell us about God, our lives and doctrine. We seek to keep refining and growing in our love and knowledge of the scriptures and we seek to organise our church accordingly.

Our Sunday gatherings continue to be our weekly highlight to gather as church family and to hear God’s word so we can be conformed to the joyful people Jesus has redeemed us to be. In response to God’s good news for us in Jesus, we continue to make music and sing joyfully to the Lord with the help of our wonderful musicians.

We have had a varied Sunday teaching programme from different parts of the scriptures, from Luke’s gospel, to Titus, to Genesis and Isaiah. Our Vision of Jesus and his Kingdom has grown, and people have come to faith and grown in faith. We continue to live-stream our services for the benefit of the sick, and housebound, but also recognising the missional opportunities to beam into the local care homes. New people are joining the church as they find us first online and come along when they feel comfortable. The many small groups have then taken our Sunday teaching programme and gone into further practical application throughout the year, these groups predominantly use notes and resources from the Vicar to equip them to apply the scriptures to our daily lives. In all our teaching we have sought to help build up disciples of Christ in the Kingdom of God, empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Page 4 of 6

We realise that we cannot achieve our church priorities in our own strength but rely totally on God’s grace and the power of His Holy Spirit. Therefore, in 2022 we have intentionally sought to be more prayerful, by strengthening the prayer ministry team, who pray before and after the church service. We have also encouraged the Healing Ministry services and prayer for healing. We have initiated a prayer walking group to pray for the parish and we have seen wonderful fruit from this endeavour. The monthly church family prayer meeting has been advertised and prioritised above all other meetings, with a growing recognition amongst the church family that we need to be a church family who is more devoted in our corporate prayer life. There is much prayer that takes place informally and personally, however we are still working on encouraging our corporate prayer life. Our intercessions during our Sunday services are clear and encouraging.

We continue to be a parish church who are outward-looking, and keen to reach all parts of the parish with the gospel. We have developed links with Sanctuary Café to help us minister to the growing number of Asylum Seekers being placed in the Hotels in our parish. We are able to signpost people with specific needs to well-established Christian and Non-Christian organisations while focusing on a warm, pastoral, prayerful gospel-centred ministry to groups and individuals in the parish. Our monthly table talk ministry continues to attract a hungry crowd and we are able to feed them spiritually as well. We are growing our links again with Eastbourne College and the local Language Schools.

We continue to recognise and encourage the spiritual gifts within the congregation to transform lives for Jesus. Many people are responding by serving the church family with their gifts, and serving the wider community by helping a Christian Charity around town to help the poor and needy, while being an ambassador of Christ.

There is much work which goes on to enable parish ministry and Mission to continue. The PCC has purchased a flat with some of the funds from the sale of a larger property. This will now be rented out to obtain further income to support the ministry of All Saints. The Quinquennial inspection took place and no major problems were found, and therefore the recommended works are being attended to so we can continue to worship and minister in a safe and welcoming building. The PCC and church family wish to express again their great thanks to Andy Anderson who as Treasurer continues to give so much of his time to keep the finances in order and to encourage us to be generous givers to gospel mission in response to God’s extravagant generosity to us in Jesus Christ.

At every meeting PCC has received a Safeguarding report from the Parish Safeguarding Officer. Thanks is given to Jo Whiteman and Hilary Dale for their diligence in facilitating the DBS checks and that training remains current and a healthy culture of good safeguarding practices continues to grow.

We thank every member of the All-Saints church family for their time, skills and generosity given in service of Jesus Christ this year. We remain ever thankful for his unchanging gospel which Isaiah 1v18 puts so clearly:

Come now, let us settle the matter,’ says the LORD.

‘Though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

To Him be glory now and forever. Amen.

Church Attendance

In 2022, there were 220 members on the Church electoral roll. People who cease attending, unless they are homebound, are pruned from the electoral roll so it gives a good idea of the numbers attending. We also have a number of visitors most Sundays.

Financial Review

The total incoming and expenditure resources on general unrestricted funds were £267,354 (2021: £281,658) and £330,939 (2021: £305,384) respectively, and are detailed in the financial statements.

Planned giving through envelopes, bankers' orders and online increased by £3,529 to £128,974 (2021: £125.445). Total voluntary income - including tax recovered but excluding legacies - increased by 0.3% to £184,179 (2021: £183,613). The PCC received legacies in the year totalling £4,934 (2021: £42,955).

The largest ordinary expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £76,968 (2021: £74,304) paid to the Diocese to cover ministry costs. This amount covers the housing and stipend and pension costs of the clergy and also a standard sum for diocesan central costs, clergy training and a contribution to national church funds. This year, All Saints' has pledged to pay £66,900.

The Covid pandemic continued to have an effect on church finances. There was a slight decrease in unrestricted incoming resources of £14,304 in 2022, and “ordinary" church expenses increased by £25,555, resulting in a deficit on General Funds this year of £63,585 compared to a deficit of £23,726 last year. Overall there was a deficit of £98,510 (2021: £44,431), taking into account all costs, particularly depreciation, charged to the Restricted Funds. This has been financed from past reserves but leaves us in a precarious position for our cash flow in 2023 and continued careful budgeting will be necessary moving forward.

The PCC are keen to work towards a balanced budget, and not to have to use reserves to ‘plug the gap’. Acknowledging that following 2021, 2022 was going to be another challenge, the PCC constantly reviewed our financial situation throughout the year, but income levels have not recovered from pre pandemic times, whereas costs have risen for a variety of world-wide reasons. Going forward, to achieve a balanced budget whilst maintaining our excellent level of mission and ministry will not be an easy task, when the General Fund per se is in substantial deficit.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC intention to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately 6 months' worth of unrestricted payments as a contingency against unforeseen situations. The closing balance this year of £2,721 (2021: £67,306) falls short of this, and the PCC may need to consider reducing this to 3 months for the foreseeable future.

The PCC policy is to invest surplus balances with The Royal Bank of Scotland {in a special interest-bearing account). Signed on behalf of the PCC

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.

b Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds - general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

Designated funds - monies set aside by the PCC out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects.

Restricted funds - a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest; 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 the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.

d Expenditure

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross.

Grants

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if earlier.

Church activities

The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when payable.

e Fixed Assets

Consecrated land and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by the Charities Act 2011.

Any expenditure on such items in the year is written off in the SOFA and disclosed separately.

Other fixtures, fittings, and office equipment.

Fixtures, fittings and office equipment used within the church premises are depreciated at 25% per annum on a reducing balance basis. Individual items with a purchase price below £1,000 are not capitalised, but are written off when the asset is acquired.

Other freehold property

The curate's house is valued at fair value at the date of each repayment of the equity-sharing mortgage. Other freehold property is valued at cost. Depreciation is provided at 2% per annum on the cost or carrying value. Costs to date on the hall extension project have been capitalised. Depreciation based on cost commenced on completion of the building.

ALL SAINTS CHURCH, EASTBOURNE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS/ TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The members of the PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

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 PCC 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full 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 matter has come to my attention:
