## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF MELTON MOWBRAY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The  trustees  present  their  report  with  the  financial  statements  of  the  charity  for  the  year  ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Aims and purposes** 

The ecclesiastical parish of Melton Mowbray’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Rector of the parish, Reverend Kevin Ashby, in promoting the whole mission locally of the Church of England in pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical matters. 

The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of five churches in the parish (Freeby is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust) and associated buildings, particularly the Samworth Centre and Thorpe Arnold Village Hall. It is also responsible for the maintenance of its ownership of 3 Church Terrace which is let and managed by Belvoir Lettings on behalf of St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray. 

## **Mission Statement** 

As a parish we are committed to: 

- Bringing people to a knowledge of God 

- Providing spiritual and pastoral commitment within the Parish and the wider community 

- Being open to all in sharing the mission of Jesus 

- Worshipping together in the churches of our Parish. 

## **Activities** 

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbents in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

The PCC met six times during the year, plus the Annual Meeting. 

A number of faculties were considered. 

Mary’s  Place  Management  Group,  with  manager  Linda  Abbott  and  Café  Manager  Carol  Sloan,  are continuing to work at increasing footfall, use of the rooms and café attendance. 

St Mary, Melton Mowbray. 

Many of the plans for the year were side-lined because of the Covid pandemic. 

The Church was only open when the law allowed, and events such as the Christmas Tree Festival and monthly Saturday Morning at St Mary’s had to be cancelled.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** _**(continued)**_ 

However, the “Contact Scheme” helped us to keep in touch with ad provide support for folk who were feeling isolated or were afraid or unable to go out. 

Online services also helped to keep the “family of the church” together, as did the WhatsApp Group, with a prayer to begin and end the day and “conversation” in between. 

The CIO and FEG group’s plans for the “New Build” (for choir, meetings and archive facilities) continued, and a number of pieces of liturgical furniture and furnishings (including vestments) appeared, funded by donations. 

The proposed Autumn celebration of the 850th anniversary of the present building has been to deferred to its 851st year! 

## St Bartholomew, Welby. 

The congregation at St Bartholomew’s Church is mainly elderly and the regular services were cancelled for eight months of 2020 following the covid 19 Pandemic lockdown. . During this time DCC Members kept in touch with the congregation to provide pastoral support and also visited the church building regularly to check on the safety. 

Work was undertaken on the tower roof to carry out necessary repairs and to fit gutters and down pipes . In addition repairs had to be carried out on the Porch roof following the theft of lead flashings. 

## St James, Burton Lazars. 

The Covid pandemic presented challenges which we tried to meet by forming a Church 'Whats app group' to keep the majority of the church in touch.  Members of the DCC also took responsibility for praying for and phoning a group of members regularly. The Team Vicar sent out weekly services by email. The Pioneer Minister set up OIKOS groups which met bi-monthly on Zoom. Each group having a different focus, the Pioneer Minister with one group, initiated a Christmas event called 'Light up Lazars' which was adopted by most of the Village and looks as if it will be continued into future years." 

## St Mary The Virgin, Thorpe Arnold 

Successful fund-raising and grant applications enabling a major project to replace the north and south aisle roofs with stainless steel (following lead thefts), renew and improve all of the gutters and down pipes, re-lay and improve the drainage. Also registration as a Fairtrade place of worship and the Bronze Eco-Church award. 

The work carried out has meant that the church is no longer on the heritage at risk register. These major works were completed as the country went into lockdown and the church was closed. During 2020 the church members continued to support each other with phone calls and practical tasks such as shopping. Between lockdowns and when permissible the church was open for; private prayer, some outdoor services held and gradually simple said services were introduced. 

## St Leonard, Sysonby. 

Due to Covid the Church building was “locked-down” all year. 

## St Mary, Freeby. 

Due to Covid the Church building was “locked-down” all year, and no services took place in the URC Chapel. 

Work continued on updating Church log-books, terriers, and registers. 

The Covid pandemic prevented many of our regular face-to-face events taking place and also services were spasmodic, only taking place when allowed legally. However, regular Zoom Services and Reflective Worship ensured that those with the technology could access local worship when they wished. Some prerecorded services were also offered online. 

Most weddings were deferred, though the number of funerals increased dramatically. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial review** 

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £231,334, of which £40,031 related to takings and lettings income  at  the  Samworth  Centre.

## **Principal Sources of Funding** 

The ongoing principal source of funding for the parish is through encouraging use of the planned giving scheme and ensuring that gift aid is claimed on donations wherever possible. The giving is reviewed regularly with supporters encouraged to review their level of giving. The Parish Giving Scheme was introduced by Thorpe Arnold Church during the year.

## **Reserves policy** 

The reserves policy is that the balances on the account are held to balance needs between years and to meet any unplanned demands.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** _**(continued)**_ 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare  the  financial  statements  on  the  going  concern  basis  unless  it  is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of its governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF MELTON MOWBRAY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Parochial Church Council of Melton Mowbray** 

I report on the accounts of the The Parochial Church Council of Melton Mowbray (the Church) for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the church’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiner’s statement** 

Since the church’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the church as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that  the  accounts  give  a  ‘true  and  fair  view’  which  is  not  a  matter  considered  as  part  of  an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should 

be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Unrestricted funds of each church relate to individual church general funds, available only for use relating to that church. The PCC and individual churches also designate other funds under their control to be used for purposes which are evident from their titles. These funds are occasionally reviewed to ensure that they are still required for their purpose. Where these funds are in deficit, this relates to unpaid diocesan share, a debt which the diocese accepts will be paid when funds allow.
