HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. Following changes to the law, the PCC was required to register with the Charity Commission during 2009 and became registered on 9 November 2009. Members of the PCC are either elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) or are ex-officio in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.

Members of staff may attend PCC meetings as required by the PCC and participate fully in general discussions but have no entitlement to vote on any issue. PCC members are asked to declare any interests at the beginning of each meeting. The PCC have formalised procedures in the event of a conflict of interest arising in discussions at PCC meetings, for example in respect of salary or expenses discussions. Where any PCC member feels a conflict of interest has arisen, the conflict will be fully and openly declared. Staff members may be asked to leave the room when certain items giving cause to a conflict of interest are discussed and a full explanation will be given as to why the request is being made, the same may apply to PCC members where there is a conflict of interest.

The only committee of the Council is the Standing Committee, which meets only to deal with urgent business as and when required. The Standing Committee is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC. The current members of the Standing Committee are the Incumbent, Churchwardens, the Treasurer, and the PCC Secretary.

All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to consider standing for election to the PCC.

Administrative Information

Related parties

During the year, the Church made payments to New Wine of which Revd Canon John McGinley is on the National Leadership Team.

Risk review

The child protection policy was reviewed and updated as necessary in June 2021 and reported on each year. Safeguarding was made an agenda item in each PCC meeting to ensure the seriousness of this issue remains a priority. Health and Safety was also put on the agenda as a regular item.

Appropriate buildings and public and employee liability insurance is in place and is regularly reviewed.

Objectives and activities

The primary object of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC of Holy Trinity is required, as stated in the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, to co-operate with the Incumbent in promoting in the Parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. In so doing, the incumbent and PCC seek to apply the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

The vision of the church is summarised as: Holy Trinity Church will be a community of missional disciples of many nations who will transform the city of Leicester, and beyond, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Review of the Year

Although we entered 2021 with a national lockdown due to the pandemic caused by Coronavirus, we did so with the Grace of God and the infrastructure that we had built to worship together across the ages via Live Stream and with the use of zoom. Across the year many who had joined Trinity on line in 2020 and 2021 began to attend in person. Our MSC’s (Mission shaped communities), children and youth groups and other ministries continued to make the most of Zoom with great success. We took the opportunity to use this renewed lockdown to provide an extensive Equipping Track program across the Spring term, with one off evenings through to courses and covering a wide range of subjects such as mission, the Difference Course, retreat days, parenting, worship and mental health. At least 75% of the church membership took part and this was highly successful and life giving at a difficult time. During Lent we held Morning Prayer on zoom each Wednesday 7-7.20 am and HTL Collective released an instrumental worship album called Emanation.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Review of the Year (Continued)

As we resumed meeting in person from Easter Sunday afterwards, albeit with varying degrees of social distancing and wearing masks, we sought to nurture our community and move forward with mission. Upon our return after Easter we commenced with our Lament preaching series, encouraged engagement with the Prayer Course and ran the Bereavement Course. As part of this HTL wrote and released the worship song called ‘I Surrender’. The second half of the term our preaching series was on the theme of mission concluding with training, street outreach and a Sunday evangelistic service with Andrew Canon. Alongside this our MSCs gathered within the government guidelines making the most of meeting outdoors with the better weather. As an alternative to Alpha we created our own seekers course called ‘The Art of Hope’, using the testimonies of artists from our congregation and the Seven Stories of Hope. Over the summer our preaching series was on the fruits of the Spirit. We encouraged people to join New Wine online for Unite and in July HTL Students with some sixth formers in Glow had a hugely successful week’s holiday at Sizewell Hall, Suffolk.

In September we launched our vision: “Following Jesus, Making Disciples, Raising Disciples”. The sermons across September connected this vision to ‘Fling Wide the Gates, known as: Full Gospel, Living Word, Salvation, Prayer and Presence, New Sound, Mercy and Justice and All Nations. As part of this a highlight was our Big Week Ender 17th -19th September at Willow Tree Family Farm Kibworth. We hired a number of marquee’s and essential facilities which enabled 30 units to camp. Across the Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday morning over 300 people visited. We were blessed to have Simon Guillebaud as our guest speaker leading three teaching sessions whilst the children had their own teaching groups, concluding with an all age worship service on the Sunday morning. Saturday afternoon was designated as fun and fellowship with walks, games, inflatables and bbq all blessed with beautiful sunshine followed by evening entertainment. In many ways this was our Parish week and brought people together for the first time since the first lockdown in March 2020.

The Autumn term saw the commencement of Kingdom Hour on the first Tuesday of the month and the reestablishment of central church activities.

The Church of England has required each church to engage with discussions on Human Sexuality a process called Living in Love and Faith. SLT and the PCC met for a morning in the Spring term to look at this then had the opportunity to pilot the 5 week LLF course. This course is not a requirement of the process and their recommendation was that we should not ask our small group leaders to lead the course because it was weak in bible content and required careful pastoral leadership. We devoted a significant amount of the Autumn term to addressing this issue in the following ways: Elaine as the Vicar offered confidential ‘listening conversations’ for those who identify as LGBTQI+, have family or friends that do or have an interest in this subject, resulting in keeping good relationships, gaining valuable information and understanding. The Vicars through a seven week preaching series taught on God, Relationships and Identity and as part of this we held two Q&A sessions one in person and one on zoom. If desired the members of the church have been able to do the LLF Course with the Diocese and the youth team held a teaching series in the summer term.

During the Autumn we held our usual Alpha Course, second Preaching Conference in conjunction with New Wine, hosted the convergence conference, held our usual Christmas services and an experimental mid-week alternative in the KCH with an art exhibition. This year’s offertory went to IMJ in line with our call to address Modern Slavery.

Central to our ministry is the call to serve the poor and disadvantaged. Food bank continued to serve significant numbers and over the year as more provision opened up Triangle numbers decreased a little. TMAL continued to support clients during the year though numbers have been low and our Hope and Blue Mountain MSCs began to meet in person. Due to the Afghanistan Refugee crisis we began a new work with Refugees and Asylum seekers.

People changes

A year after the pandemic first began things began to open up and once again the Lord started the process of reshaping the staff team for this new stage in the life of HTL. In the Spring term we advertised and appointed James Norris as Associate Vicar to begin after the completion of his curacy. James, his wife Charlotte and two boys joined us mid-September. We participated in the Government Kickstart Job Scheme employing two cohorts of four young adults across the year providing work experience and training with the support of staff and church members. Jitesh Patel began overseeing and teaching part-time St Mellitus Ordinand’s program for the Diocese and went down to 0.4 as Associate Vicar with HTL.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Review of the Year (Continued)

In June we sent Simon Braker to Capstone Church London after being on the SLT for several years. We also sent Joe as they minister together but remain connected with them as Legacy Ministries is one of our Mission Links. In July we sent John McGinley to lead the new National Myriad Project. John served HTL as Vicar for 11 years and then as Associate Vicar for 18 months. We are immensely grateful for John for his ministry clearly supported by Bridget, Bethan and Alice.

In July Luke Dobson began his curacy with us as a designated Church Planting Curate under Resourcing Church with aim of Planting a Charismatic Anglo Catholic Church in the Diocese. In August Cam Plant finished his work with us as Children’s and Younger Worker to begin Ordination training, we are delighted that Cam has been able to stay at HTL for his placement. Elena Shackleford joining the in team in August as the new Children’s and Youth Worker.

Lois Davey completed her year of maternity cover for Bridget Patel as Assistant Minister for Compassion Ministries. Lois not only maintained this work but enabled it to flourish. Across the year and indeed prior to this, the Student Worker role expanded to incorporate Young Adults linking the top end of Glow, Students and Young Adults together. Lois Young who leads this ministry also joined SLT in the summer and is now employed as Assistant Minister for Students and Young Adults.

In the Autumn term the PCC completed a staffing review of the Operation and Administration needs of the church halted due to the Pandemic in 2020. We also had 4 new Mission Apprentices (Interns) in September with Stephanie Iltchenco remaining as leadership second year, plus two German social work students on placement in the Autumn serving in the Compassion and Youth departments and one DMU student commencing a 2 year, youth placement with our youth team.

Across the year we have seen the normal comings and goings of people within our church family and have been delighted to welcome many new people.

Achievements and performance Church attendance

At the date of the APCM in 2021 there were 300 persons on the Electoral Roll. The analysis of the general attendance and participation in the life of the church was: 86 in person services were held at Holy Trinity during the year. 108 services were livestreamed. There was 1 funeral, 2 weddings, 6 adult baptisms, one infant baptism and one infant dedication.

The average number of adult attendees per Sunday during the month of October 2020 (the annual count month) 139 excluding those joining via Live stream. The average number of 0-18s attending on a Sunday was 53. The total number of people participating in the life and worship of Holy Trinity on a regular basis is 641 (2020: 632).

During the year the full PCC met eleven times and was involved in a number of decisions concerning the running of the Church, many of which have been explained above. The following is a summary of these decisions

Financial review

Total income for the year was £726,050 (2020: £748,592) and note 2 to the accounts gives a detailed analysis of this. Of this amount, £67,274 (2020: £73,115) was given for specific purposes and recorded in various restricted funds, £6,000 (2020: £3,000) was designated to be used for church planting, and the remaining £652,776 (2020: £672,477) put to the general fund to be used for the primary ongoing activities of the church.

Total expenditure for the year was £664,925 (2020: £682,173) as explained in note 3 to the accounts. Of this total, £18,914 (2020: £61,906) was expended from restricted funds, £13,185 (2020: £14,960) from designated funds, and £632,826 (2020: £605,307) from the general fund. In addition, there were transfers between funds totalling £12,641 (2020: £23,000).

Therefore, the general fund increased in the year by £4,969 (2020: £76,170). This is a better financial result than the £8,582 deficit which had been budgeted, thanks in part to larger one-off donations than expected, the unbudgeted continuation of the HMRC job retention scheme, and delays (hence cost savings) in filling budgeted staff vacancies.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Review of the Year (Continued)

It’s important to note that these financial gains are one-off in nature, whereas the continuing pattern is a decline in congregational giving and the gift aid that’s recovered on this. Hopefully this explains the stance of repeatedly asking church members to prayerfully consider their giving, whilst at the same time reporting a strong financial performance for 2021 and currently having healthy financial reserves. As at 31 December, the balance on the general fund was £140,691 (2020: £135,722), which represents approximately 4 months of operational costs, which is higher than the 3 months required by the reserves policy, but not unreasonable given the exceptional financial circumstances of 2020 and 2021.

Reserves Policy

It is not the intention of the PCC to hold large amounts of reserves for investment purposes, as it believes the churches resources should be used for the work of God’s kingdom, as it is provided to us. It is however recognised as prudent to keep some general reserves, held as cash in the bank, to cover primary operational costs in the event of an unforeseen reduction in income or increase in expenditure. It was the PCC’s policy to maintain a minimum of unrestricted funds of £100,612 during 2022 (2021: £101,884), which is reviewed and calculated each year. This is to cover operational costs equivalent to 3 months of gross salaries and essential running costs. The reserves policy indicates procedures which would be put into practice should the unrestricted fund reach its minimum.

Plans for future periods

A budgeted deficit of £25,539 (2021: £8,582 deficit) for general unrestricted income and expenditure has been set for 2022. This reflects the known difficulties faced in operating in the current environment. The church will continue to donate 10% of annual income derived from congregational giving including gift aid to external home and overseas missions and individuals engaged in missionary work.

Public benefit

The charity has achieved its objectives of the promotion of the advancing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Activities and community programmes for all ages were held and are available freely. This has been to the benefit of church attendees and the wider community.

Statement of Trustees responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and 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:

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 Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Holy Trinity Church Leicester

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Holy Trinity Church Leicester (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustee’s annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

6

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Holy Trinity Church Leicester (Continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

7

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Holy Trinity Church Leicester (Continued)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 31 December 2021

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Holy Trinity Church Leicester is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the charity is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a "true and fair" view and have departed from the Charites (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 only to the extent required to provide a "true and fair view". This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have been prepared as a going concern under the historical cost convention except for the valuation on investment assets where appropriate, which are shown at market value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restriction regarding their particular use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Funds received that are subject to a restriction are held in a separate fund and used only for that purpose. Where monies given for a restricted capital purpose are expended, the asset is no longer viewed as restricted and an appropriate transfer is made to the General Fund. This includes the payment of any related mortgage liability.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Incoming Resources

Voluntary income and capital sources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Other ordinary income

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

Income from investments

Interest is accounted for as it accrues.

Gains and losses on investments

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December in each year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Resources used

Grants

Government grants receivable in relation to job retention scheme, retail scheme and the kickstart scheme are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.

Activities directly relating to the work of the church

The parish share is accounted for when paid. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is not provided for in these accounts, as it is a voluntary contribution and not legally enforceable.

Allocation of Costs

Costs have been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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.

Taxation

The PCC is exempted from tax under s.505 ICTA 1988, as a registered charity (reference 1132601).

Fixed assets

Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings

The value of these assets is excluded from the accounts by virtue of s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Any expenditure, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off to revenue in the year it arises. Purchased land and buildings

Purchased land and buildings are stated at cost. Buildings are depreciated over 50 years on a straight line basis.

Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment

Expenditure below £500 per item is written off in the year of acquisition. Computer equipment and other equipment is depreciated over 5 years on a straight line basis.

Current assets

All amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December are shown as debtors, less a provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Short term deposits comprise funds held on deposit with the CCLA Church of England Funds. Provisions for liabilities are shown where an essential future cost is estimated at the year end. Asset held for Sale includes the Rectory garage which will be sold within 12 months of the Accounts.

Pension costs

The PCC as 'Employer' has an auto enrolment pension scheme with the Peoples Pension. All qualifying employees are automatically enrolled on the scheme and non-qualifying employees offered to enrol, at the start of their employment. Contributions are made by both employer and employee into the scheme according to their staff contract. Employers continuing responsibility and duties will be undertaken.

Risk management

The PCC recognises its responsibility for identifying and managing risks within the organisation. A working party of PCC members has identified, collated and scored risks for the PCC to manage and action as necessary.

Donated goods, facilities and services, including volunteers

Income raised from donated gifts for resale is recognised at the point of sale where the value of the donation is considered not material in the context of total annual income and/or where the estimated resale value cannot be determined.

The organisation relies on the contribution of many unpaid general volunteers to carry out activities. In the absence of a reliable basis for measurement, this contribution is not accounted for in monetary terms.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months or less from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
