## Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 December 20 21 

The Trustees, who are the members of the Parochial Church Council, submit their Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting policies and comply with Church Representation Rules, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with FRS 102, as updated February 2016. 

## Objectives, Activities, Achievement and Performance 

## Main Activities 

The Parochial Church Council (‘PCC’) aims to promote in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## Public Benefit 

The PCC is aware of its duty to ensure that the charitable activities of the Church further its charitable objectives and that these activities are for the purpose of public benefit. A review of the activities is included in this Annual Report and gives details of the way in which this has been achieved. The activities undertaken above are given careful consideration by the Trustees against the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## Achievements and Performance - Vicar’s Report 


In 2021 we have been picking up the pieces and trying to get back into some regular pattern of Church life whilst still coping with a global pandemic for a second year. We were grateful that our Church building was allowed to open for worship and for some of the time we also opened midweek for private prayer. 

We maintain our vision to be a welcoming, inclusive, vibrant, growing Church, with members of all ages, seeking God, open to the Holy Spirit, living out the gospel day by day; Rich in diversity, yet united in our service of Jesus Christ; Characterized by love, mercy and the joy of serving, where each member is encouraged to grow, and use their abilities and gifts. This has been a challenge as many of our Church members have been reluctant to risk meeting together face to face. 

As a Church our Strategic Plan is to put our vision into practice in the following 3 areas of Church life: 

- 

- 1) Open to God encouraging a deeper relationship with God; 

- 

- 2) Open Church being available to, and helping to meet the needs of, all sections of the community; 

- 

- 3) Open Invitation actively working to engage more people in the life of the Church. 

In ALL that we do we are continually looking for creative and sustainable ways to put into practice our ‘mission statement’ of ‘LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST’.

__________________________________________________________________________________ 

Worship and prayer are vital for the life of the Church and since the first lockdown we formed a pattern of gathering as one congregation on a Sunday morning, meeting at 10am. At the end of January PCC decided that Sunday Morning Worship would be online and this continued until Easter when we opened again for face to face meetin gs. As restrictions started to be lifted we introduced ‘zoning’ in Church with a designated area where the wearing of facemasks and social distancing remained compulsory. 

The Register of Church Attendance has been kept up to date but the figures do not reflect the number of people that we stayed in contact with, in 2021, so they have not been included in this report in full. At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in April 2021, the Electoral Roll listed 120 (115 in 2020) members. Dan Sparks and Michelle Sparks were elected as Churchwardens and they and their children Joshua, Oliver and Isobel have been an invaluable help to the Church. 

Over the year the Church was involved with at least 91 (138) acts of worship of which 17 (44) included Holy Communion. There were 29 (30) funerals linked to the parish (of which 4 (5) were in Church), and we said goodbye to Pat Montgomery and David Last. We were unable to go into Care Homes to take Services. There were 5 baptisms and no weddings. 

Important work was begun to replace the bell frame in the Church Tower, repair the existing bells and add 3 new ones but Covid meant that the target completion date was not met. 

Progress of the Hospitality Area with Cafe, Crèche and Welcome Space at the West End of the Church began in June and had almost reached completion by the end of the year. Further improvements include screens that have been attached to the pillars in Church to upgrade our audio/visual provision. 

The Church relies on all the good work done by our volunteers in the Church Office and we thank Jane Stretch, Pat Wells and Charlotte Whyte who worked from home when not permitted to come onto the Church premises. 

St. Mary's Hall is the venue for St. Peter & St. Mary's Preschool which continued to open throughout, caring for the children of Key Workers. 

Our children's work continues with Little Fishes meeting either online or in the Church Hall and our Boys' Brigade and Girls Association Company managed to meet again on Tuesday evenings. Messy Church met on the 4th Sunday Morning of the month when permitted 

Under the first Lockdown, we arranged the Church Members into Geographical Groups of around 10 people living close to each other and this has continued as our main means of pastoral support. A Group Leader has kept in touch with all in their group and members themselves have maintained contact with each other. This has allowed us to give pastoral and practical help to those unable to leave their homes. 

The Clergy, Readers and Preachers Team continues to meet regularly online and one of our retired Clergy Rev’d Ian Hooper was able to resume activities in the final quarter of the year although Rev’d Raymond Gilbert did not due to health and for safety reasons. 

Most of the 7 House Groups have managed to meet in some form or another and, under the supervision of Heather Bunting, areas of study included the book ‘Unleashed’ by Gavin and Anne Calver, the Pete Greig Prayer Course and an Advent Study put together by Heather.

The Christmas Tree Festival went ahead, opening 3 days a week. The lights were switched on by the famous author Anthony Horowitz. Charlotte Whyte has taken on the role of Festival Co-coordinator and with the help of her team, the Town Festival ran in partnership with the Town Council and the Library, Red Gables and the Walnut Tree pub. 

I would like to thank all who have helped in the running of the Church this year, especially the Churchwardens and Deputy-Wardens. Although the activities based around the Church have been limited due to legal restrictions, we always aim to improve ways in which we are inclusive as an Open Church and offer an Open Invitation to all in the service of Jesus Christ. It hasn’t been easy in 2021 but we have embraced the new technologies that are now available, to reach out in fresh and different ways. We use Facebook and Twitter and our website to publicize our activities and our YouTube channel allows us to Livestream our Sunday Morning Services, which are also available afterwards. Our thanks go to Martin Gray who set up all of that. And you can be assured that the latest Safeguarding and Data Protection and Copyright legislation is kept up to date. 

Prayer is brought to all Church activities in a real desire to put into practice the will of God and develop as a Church that is a true expression of His Kingdom here on Earth. As we do so we are seen to be fulfilling our ‘mission statement’ of LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

## Financial Review 

Total incoming resources in the year amounted to £338,319 (2020: £227,123), with total expenditure incurred at £330,984 (2020: £283,225). Overall the net movement in funds, when taking account of investments gains, was a net inflow of £12,402 (2020: net outflow of £53,826). The net assets of the PCC at the balance sheet date were £497,216, compared with £484,814 in the previous year. 

## Investment policy and performance 

There is no intention to retain funds over the longer term and cash not immediately required is placed on deposit with the Church of England. The only current investment is the Finbow Endowment Fund held and administered by the Diocese. A new Long Term Investment fund has been created with some of the proceeds of the sale of Cafe52, although this was still held in cash at 31[st] December 2021. 

## Reserves Policy 

The General Fund is intended to carry three to four months balances to provide for contingencies in the coming year and to provide sufficient cash flow to cover the regular transactions. At the year end the balance on the General Fund amounted to £25,894. This is just under three months’ wo rth of expenditure in this fund. The Trustees will continue to monitor this balance in 2022 in conjunction with incoming resources to meet its reserves policy going forwards. 

The 3Rs balance will vary according to the expenditure on projects currently in progress and planned for the near future. This requires ongoing review by the Trustees year on year to ensure that the reserve held is sufficient for upcoming projects. 

The balance carried forward on the Pre-school account is being retained for the future use of the Preschool. Sufficient reserves are maintained in order for this to occur, although no formal reserves policy is in place. 

Funds arising from certain legacies currently remain unspent. The PCC is taking the prudent view that this money should be held on deposit until there is greater certainty about the outcome of current renovation projects and future sources of income.

## Structure, Governance and Management 

The Parochial Church Council of St Peter and St Mary, Stowmarket is a body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Powers measure 1956, as amended, and Church Representation Rules. 

The PCC is also registered as a charity with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, charity no. 1132857, and the PCC members form the Board of Trustees of the Charity. 

## Trustees 

The Trustees who served during the year were: 

Revd Michael Eden (Chair) Charlotte White (Vice Chair from April 2021) Daniel Sparks (Churchwarden) Michelle Sparks (Churchwarden) (Appointed April 2021) Wesley Gerald Barnett (Assistant Churchwarden) Martin Gray (Deputy Churchwarden and Vice Chair) (Term ended April 2021) – Marion Gray (Churchwarden term ended April 2021), (Deanery Synod Representative) Revd Richard Stretch (Curate) Matt Levett (Deanery Synod Representative) Gloria Gord Charlotte Whyte Michael Munson Sheila Taylor (appointed April 2021) Judy Eden (Term ended April 2021) Tony Ingham (Term ended April 2021 Zoe Davies (Resigned September 2021) Eugene Milne (Resigned October 2021) Tony Leigh-Pollitt (Appointed April 2021, resigned October 2021) 

## Administration of the Charity 

The Charity is administered by the Board of Trustees, which is the Parochial Church Council. The Trustees meet every month (except in August and December) to review the performance and governance of the Charity. The PCC has various committees reporting to it, grouped into three areas: Building and Finance; Mission and Outreach; Ministry and Worship. The PCC establishes other committees as required to deal with specific issues and events. 

## Recruitment, appointment and training of Trustees 

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. Members are appointed at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and additional members can be coopted by the appointed members. 

The Board recognises the need of Trustees to reflect a wide and diverse range of skills and interests. The Trustees will periodically review the composition of the Board, identifying the need for additional expertise where necessary. The majority of Trustees are identified through word of mouth and knowledge of the Charity. Trustees will review any potential candidate to ensure that they complement the Charity and the Board. Newly nominated trustees are usually briefed by the Chairman and receive background information on the Charity as necessary.

## Risk Assessment 

Systems have been established which mitigate the major risks to which the Church is exposed. Risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic were continuously reviewed and appropriate measures were put in place. 

## Trustees’ Responsibilities 

The Charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a T rustees’ annual report and 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 the financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

- 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the requirements of the Church of England. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the C harity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## Independent Examiner’s Report 

## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council of St Peter and St Mary, Stowmarket 

I report on the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 21 

## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:- 

- examine the Financial Statements under section 145 of the Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements, 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 an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is lim ited 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:- 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or 

- (2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.

__________________________________________________________________________________ 

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 

## 1. Accounting Policies 

a) Basis of Preparation 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost of transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) as updated on 2 February 2016 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The accounts h ave been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Repo rting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and updated February 2016 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## b) Fund Accounting 

The General Fund represents funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the Charity. Some of the other funds are similarly unrestricted, some are designated, and some are restricted. Designated funds are those that have been earmarked for a purpose but could still be used for general purposes if the PCC decided to do so. Restricted funds may only be used for the purpose for which they are given. The purpose of any designated and restricted funds is included within note 12. The PCC does not invest separately for each fund and interest is apportioned. 

## c) Income 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income and there is sufficient certainty of receipt so that it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Planned giving, collection and donations are recognised when received. Income Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. 

## d) Expenditure 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. The Parish Share was paid in full during the year. 

## e) Irrecoverable VAT 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. 

## f) Fixed Assets 

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. 

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected by arrangement. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings is written off. 

No cost information is available for St Peter's Hall or St Mary's Hall. Both appear in the financial statements at their insurance valuations in 1997 when they were first included. No depreciation has been provided as the buildings have long lives and the residual values are considered to be higher than the book values. The cost of alterations to provide and improve an outside play area has been capitalised and is being depreciated over10 years. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December 2021. 

Equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 to 10 years according to its expected useful life. Items such as the silverware and handbells are not depreciated as they are expected to retain their value. 

## g) Current Assets 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December 2021 in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. 

Stock of saleable items, where material, is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

Short-term deposits are defined as balances held on deposit with CAF Bank and the Central Board of Finance Church of England Deposit Fund.

The General Fund represents funds which are available for the application and general purpose of the PCC in furtherance of its charitable objectives. 

## **Capital Fund** 

The Capital Fund was created in 1997 when assets were first shown in the accounts. 

## **Fabric Fund (note 14)** 

This fund includes funds designated for the restoration of the church building and includes money restricted by donors. Some donations are made for specific projects and are thus further restricted. The objects of the 3Rs Fund are a programme of restoration, renovation and reordering of all the church buildings as required. 

## **St Peter and St Mary's Pre-School (note 15)** 

The Pre-school raises funds, partly by charging fees for attendance, but also receives funding from the Department for Education and Employment. From this income it meets its staff and other operating costs and purchases play equipment, which is normally written off in the year of purchase. Within the balance carried forward is £17,600 ring-fenced for redundancy pay should it be required. 

## **Pre-school Outside Play Area** 

This fund represents the fixed assets of the outside play area of the Pre-school. 

## **Other Funds (note 16)** 

Other funds relates to other various items which are administered by the charity. These are reviewed in detail per note 16. 

## **Sarginson Memorial Capital Fund** 

This fund provides income for the purchase of flowers for the decoration of the Sarginson Memorial. 

## **Special Collections** 

Special collections relates to amounts collected on behalf of other charities. The total of items received is paid over to the respective charity, as intended by the donor. 

## **Long Term Investments** 

Initially holding the surplus from the Sale of Cafe52, this fund is held by the Diocese and invested primarily for income. 

## **Endowment** 

The endowment amount relates to a legacy received from Miss H Finbow, the capital of which is held by the Diocese. 

Transfers which have occurred during the year above have been detailed further in Note 5 of the financial statements.
