Public Benefit Aims of the PCC
The PCC (Powers) Measures 1956 states that the aims of the PCC ‘shall include cooperation with the clergy in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’. Our mission as a church is to enable as many as possible to be drawn into the community of the parish church as worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our cooperation in this endeavour can be summarised in two objectives:
-
To confer on all matters relating to the life, ministry, worship, service, evangelism and buildings of the church.
-
To collaborate with the Rector in taking forward the strategy and mission of the Church (within the PCC’s statutory powers).
At the beginning of 2021 the PCC reviewed and affirmed our vision to “Refresh our Welcome”, “Raise and Resource Discipleship” and “Reach our community and city with the good news of Christ”.

Communication

PCC is grateful to our secretary Louise Cumberland and our treasurer Dave Appleton for all the work they do to make much of the above possible. Also to Andy Gray and Bill Myall (Churchwardens from APCM 2020), and Phil Courtier (Deputy Chair from APCM 2020).

Financial Review
The PCC is a charity and has been registered with the Charity Commission since 2009. This is in compliance with the Charities Act 2011, which specifies that a PCC with an annual income in excess of £100,000 must register. Our charity number is 1132477.
Volunteers who give their time and resources enable a large number of activities to be run by the church. It is not possible to quantify the extent of this help, but without it the church could not continue its work.
Income in 2021
The majority of the church’s income (96%) comprised gifts received from its members and attendees and associated Gift Aid (recoverable tax). Other income comprised of rental of 26 Trinity Street and other sundry income. The total income for the year was £368,555, the breakdown of which is shown in the following pie-chart:
As in other years, the PCC wish to express their gratitude to those who give generously towards the work of the church. During the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020 giving had fallen but in 2021 it increased by 12%, exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
Other income, including rent from our investment property at 26 Trinity Street, remained similar to that in 2020, at £15,817.
Expenditure in 2021
The church’s expenditure was £377,919, a 4.5% increase compared to 2020 (£361,702). The increase was mostly attributable to increased staffing costs including the employment of two Youth and Children Workers for the whole year (only part of the year in 2020). The church’s expenditure reflects responsibilities in the parish, the diocese, and both nationally and internationally, and breaks down as follows:
8
Although there is no legal liability on the PCC to pay the Diocesan Parish Share, the PCC is aware of its responsibilities in relation to the financial position within the diocese. Our staff costs do not include the cost of our Rector or Curate. Both have their stipends paid by the diocese and therefore their costs should be set against the Parish Share. The diocese also owns and maintains The Rectory and the Curate’s house, and owns the church building. The Parish Share also supports mission and evangelism across the wider diocese covering Norfolk and Waveney. In 2021 the PCC paid £90,000 for the year, the amount set by the diocese at the start of the year (the same as in 2020).
Funds and Reserves
The church has the following restricted fund (that is, fund that the PCC is not free to spend however it pleases): the Bransby legacy endowment fund (£31,991).
Unrestricted funds include the value of our property as well as money in the bank. The church owns 26 Trinity Street, which provides a potential mixture of rental income and capital growth. The valuation of this property as at December 2021 was reviewed by the PCC in January 2022 and increased to £483,00 (from £430,000).
At the end of 2020, the church had unrestricted funds of £758,756 including the £483,000 attributed to 26 Trinity Street. Other unrestricted funds included a fabric fund (£117,651), a training fund (£3,560) and tangible fixed assets reserve (essentially property that could be sold to release finances) of £11,888.
The remainder of our funds, our general reserves, are essentially the money the PCC has that is free to spend. Each year the PCC reviews its Reserves Policy and in January 2022 it reviewed it keeping the levels the same but adjusting the wording to:
9
‘Reserves’ are the financial resources the PCC has available to spend for the church’s purposes once it has met its commitments and covered its planned expenditure. They are those funds that are free to be spent – i.e. they are not restricted or designated for specific purposes, nor held in an endowment fund, nor invested in fixed assets.
We need reserves because not all our income comes in at the same rate as we spend it, and to enable us to continue meeting our commitments if our income is lower than we expect or if our expenditure is higher than we expect.
The PCC’s policy is to maintain reserves of £60,000 which takes account of the following:
-
Three months’ budgeted expenditure in 2021 amounted to nearly £110,000;
-
Delaying paying three months’ Parish Share would temporarily free up £22,500;
-
PCC holds a Fabric Fund (expected to be £118,000 at the start of 2022) and this fund will help to absorb any major fluctuations in buildings expenditure.
In addition to its reserves and the Fabric Fund, the PCC holds a Training Fund designated to cover the costs over 3 years of training a Children's Worker (expected to be used up in 2022).
The PCC recognises that its current level of reserves significantly exceeds the level set in this policy. This is as a result of the de-designation of the Jenny Lind fund in 2021 and a lower spend on salaries than planned in 2021.
The PCC undertakes to review this reserves policy on an annual basis.
At the end of 2021 our General Reserves stood at £142,657, considerably higher than the level set in this reserves policy. This is because during 2021 the PCC took the decision to de-designate one of its unrestricted funds, the Jenny Lind Fund, thus moving this money into the General Reserves.
The Jenny Lind Fund had been set up following receipt of a significant donation at the time that the PCC was looking to take over the previously independent Jenny Lind project, including the lease of the Jenny Lind Room and the employment of its young person’s coordinator. The donation came with no restrictions but the PCC chose to set aside a large part of it to cover costs relating to Holy Trinity taking on the project.
This fund has been a real blessing, helping to give the PCC the confidence that it could meet the financial commitment of taking on the project and, more recently, to employ a Parish Mission Enabler and start up a number of new outreach activities. However, this parish outreach activity is core to our church’s mission, so the justification for retaining a fund for this work separate from our general funds has become rather weak. Moreover, the amount of money remaining in this fund was disproportionate to the cost of activities planned. In November 2021 the PCC therefore agreed unanimously to de-designate this
10
fund, making the money available for our wider church mission and outreach. The donor who had provided the funds was consulted and confirmed that they fully support this decision.
Outlook for 2022 and beyond
In 2021 we held our annual appeal for giving and we are hugely grateful to God and to our church members for responding positively to this appeal so that our regular income has increased.
Our outgoings are also increasing at pace. As well as rising prices for many of our regular purchases, fuel prices have sky-rocketed so the cost of heating the church, the church hall and the Jenny Lind room have gone up dramatically. The Government recently increased the National Insurance rate meaning our staff costs have inflated. But we also plan to do more, and this carries an additional cost. We have recently employed a part-time Parish Mission Enabler; also we did not replace our second Ministry Assistant when Issy left in 2020 but we hope to do so in 2022.
Our budget for 2022 shows a planned expenditure from our General Reserves of over £387,000, and this excludes significant maintenance work that will be funded from our Fabric Fund. The PCC has also expressed a desire to employ additional resource in future, but our current levels of regular giving fall short of the expenditure we are already planning. In the short term our excess reserves enable us to run with a deficit budget for 2022, but looking ahead we need to see further increases in giving to be able to continue our existing operations and to take on new initiatives.
Risk
Safeguarding - Child Protection and Vulnerable Adults
The PCC has a formal policy statement and an appointed Safeguarding Officer. The policy is reviewed annually by the PCC. A copy of the policy is displayed in the Church and the Safeguarding Officer provides a copy to all those involved in youth and children’s work and is responsible for monitoring compliance with that policy. A full safeguarding report appears later in this document.
Financial
At the end of 2021, the PCC’s free reserves had risen to £142,657, well above the level set in its Reserves Policy (see above). However its designated funds have reduced, totalling £121,211 at the end of 2021 (from £210,170 at the start of the year). Although set aside for particular purposes, these funds are not legally restricted.
However, whilst this may appear to be a healthy financial situation, the current level of income is insufficient to sustain the level of expenditure that is required to deliver our
11
vision in the longer term. PCC set an ambitious deficit budget for 2022 in order to be able to deliver our existing activities, but we cannot operate on a deficit budget indefinitely.
Our PCC is committed to supporting a church graft in the coming year which may include the transfer of a number of families from Holy Trinity to the graft church. Inevitably this will impact our finances as those families are expected to transfer their giving to the graft church. At this early stage we do not have a picture of how much this will affect our finances but as a relatively small number of our families contribute a large proportion of our overall giving, there is the potential for the impact to be significant.
The church accounts are reconciled monthly and any significant variance from the budget is investigated. The accounts are subject to an annual assurance review in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice 2005.
Legislative
These include health and safety, disability and other discrimination and data protection. The PCC has reviewed the legislative requirements in these areas. It is aware of a number of health and safety issues that need to be resolved, and is taking steps to address these.
Reputational
The PCC is aware of the church’s activities (and those of its members) and has sought to conform to the highest standards associated with a religious organisation. Whilst there is no formal process of review over the many activities undertaken, the PCC is prepared to investigate any concerns that come to its attention or are reported to it by members of the congregation or by outside parties.

Holy Trinity Church, Norwich - Fabric Report for 2021
The Church
The Church building, which is a Grade II listed building, was built in 1859-1861 is owned by the Diocese but the PCC are responsible for its care and maintenance. The Diocese requires a professional inspection of the Church building to be carried out every 5 years (a Quinquennial Review) and is due next year 2022. At the last review in 2017 it was noted that the property is well cared for and maintained and the shrubs and trees within the churchyard are well kept.
During 2021 the following work has been carried out on the Church building.
-
Decaying plasterwork on the Church interior wall of the North West transept has been replaced (£10,637).

Safeguarding Report for 2021
This is the Safeguarding report for the fourteen months to February 28th 2022.
Andy Gray continued to perform the Safeguarding role at Holy Trinity Church until the end of September 2021, when he handed over the responsibility to me. Initially, there were a number of issues over data and system access, most of which have now been resolved. However, until yesterday (08/03/2022), I was still waiting to be given access to the ThirtyOneEight website, in order to check new DBS certificates. After completing the required DBS training, I will now be in a position to complete the outstanding DBS checks.
Going forward, we need to identify more backup for the Safeguarding Officer and the DBS Administer roles, to avoid single points of failure and to establish a resilient succession for the roles.
A new HT email address, david.fairbourn@trinitynorwich.org has been set up for me, in order to keep HT Safeguarding related admin emails separate from personal correspondence and the email address for reporting safeguarding issues safeguarding@trinitynorwich.org.
Holy Trinity has adopted the Parish Safeguarding Handbook 2018 with some minor amendments as agreed by the PCC in 2020.
The online Parish Safeguarding Dashboard introduced by the Diocese continues to be monitored and kept up to date. It is visible to the Diocese as a check on compliance with safeguarding issues.
The dashboard shows the following outstanding items, many of which have only just changed status and are being addressed: -
- Safeguarding Action Plan – needs to be reviewed and approved by the PCC (Last reviewed 05/10/2020)
14
-
Responding to Concerns or Allegations – PCC needs to review and approve our procedure to deal promptly with any safeguarding concern or allegation (including any suspicion of abuse). This procedure is to be reviewed annually. (Last reviewed 23/11/2020)
-
Known Offenders - Known offenders, and others who may pose a risk to children or vulnerable adults, must be effectively managed and monitored in consultation with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. The incumbent and Parish Safeguarding Officer to confirm that they are aware of the above requirement, and will comply when applicable? (Last reviewed 05/10/2020)
-
Use of Social Media - The PCC to confirm that the church is following national guidance regarding the use of social media.
-
The PCC has to approve all uses of social media for its activities.
-
The PCC has to ensure that there is a named person to whom all workers are accountable.
-
All church officers who use social media on behalf of the church to be made aware of the guidance in Section 12 of the Parish Safeguarding Handbook.
-
Learning and Development - The PCC has to plan for the full implementation of the Safeguarding Learning and Development Framework from January 2022. This is actively underway.
-
Foundation Pathway - This learning pathway must be completed by churchwardens, PCC members, vergers and anyone in a role which involves work with children, young people or vulnerable adults.
-
Leadership Pathway - This learning pathway must be completed by Parish Safeguarding Officers and anyone who significantly influences the culture of the church.
-
Training for Key Roles - Everyone who plays a key safeguarding role must complete the relevant training.
-
Parish Safeguarding Officer - The PCC must ensure that the Parish Safeguarding Officer undertakes the required safeguarding training. Active.
-
DBS Administrator - The PCC must ensure that DBS Administrators undertake the required safeguarding training. Active.
-
PCC Members - The PCC must ensure that all their members undertake the required safeguarding training. Active.
-
Church Activities - Reviews and risk assessments were completed for Creche, Steppers, Easter Egg Hunt, Holiday Club, Jenny Lind After School Club and Open the Book activities. Risk assessments on the remaining children and young people’s activities are being reviewed having last been undertaken in October 2020.
-
Safer Recruitment Survey and People Management – Need to complete the survey, which relates to the new Safer Recruitment and People Management Guidance and confirm that the PCC is compliant.
-
Procedures, as contained in the Parish Safeguarding Handbook 2018, are now in force. The additional safeguards (application form, interview and two references) in place does mean that recruitment of volunteers takes
15
longer. It is not possible to recruit new, unchecked, or untrained, volunteers at short notice. I can confirm that this procedure continues to be followed, and that DBS checks and training are being undertaken, where we have been informed of new leaders and helpers.
The PCC has confirmed that it takes “due regard” of the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.
25 DBS checks, both new and at renewal, have been completed in 2021. 1 check for a PCC member remains outstanding. There are 8 new volunteer DBS checks awaiting my access to the ThirtyOneEight system.
40 Confidential Declaration forms, either new or updated, have been completed in 2021.
Leaders and helpers are unable to work with groups, or carry out their roles, either face to face or via Zoom, until current DBS checks and up-to-date Confidential Declaration forms have been completed. The Youth Workers have been informed.
Lay Ministers and Authorised Worship Assistants checks and training are the responsibility of the Diocese. Checks and training for anybody with any of these roles are not monitored by the Holy Trinity Safeguarding Officer. It is assumed that anybody in these roles is fully compliant. Individuals in any of these roles are responsible for ensuring that they are up to date with all requirements including training.
47 volunteers have completed Safeguarding training in 2021. It has previously been agreed by PCC that relevant training must be completed within 3 months of commencing in any role.
During 2021 we have been informed of six possible Safeguarding concerns. In addition, various procedural queries were raised by staff and volunteers. The Diocesan Safeguarding Office was contacted where necessary for advice and confirmation that actions taken were sufficient. After the initial responses, no further action was required, although staff and volunteers will continue to remain supportive and vigilant for those involved.

Norwich South Deanery Synod Report for 2021
As churches emerged from the pandemic, discussions were ongoing about continuing streaming for its increased reach and helping those nervous about returning. Discussions around the eco church agenda continued – whilst it was recognised this could not supplant the great commission, environmental care was a part of care for God’s creation and a way of loving our neighbours. Cost issues for churches’ unnecessary upgrades on old buildings would be significant.
The clergy wellbeing covenant was also of current importance with relevant lay roles discussed.
Questions about communion had been escalated with regards to safely continuing communion in two kinds with individual cups.
Questions regarding Living in Love and Faith were ongoing; it is important to be orthodox on questions of marriage without being alienating or unwelcoming.
We are pleased to now have full lay representation as these important questions are progressed.
