Chureh Attelldallee Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, onty limited number5 were able io auend Sunday services during October, so there was no'nonnal" Sunday adult attendance to Tuord. The figure for October 2019 was 84. Review of tbe Year 2020 As a resuli of the COVltk19 pandeTlliC 2020 was nol a norn?al year for the PCC. which only mei in person Ic¢, in January and February, before the first national lockdown. Afiet that, wKth the unanTTntsU% agreeTnent of every member. all PCC business Wds conducted onlit* via cmail, with hard copses of any docuTnent5 and telephone calls to ihe one meTnber without internet acces5- there were no virtual meetings. Similarly the same applied io th¢ work of th¢ committ¢cs after tht first couple of months. Throughout the year the PCC was kcpt UTrt(te with progress on the restordiion of the Church building and its refurbishm¢tJt after the fe of December 2018, includin¥ meetings with the loss adjusters for the insurers, th¢ Diocesan Advisory Committee and the contractor5. the latter agreed as Bakers of Danbury for both ihe phase 2 (external work5) and Subsequently for the phase J {internal works). The PCC resolved to apply for faculties (the Church of England's planning pernission) and agrttd the necessary supporting itatements of need and of significance. for the high level repair and reinstaiemeni works. the in¢ernal re-ordering layout and the reinstatement of the bells. Th¢ PCC also agreed the design of the chairs for the new layouL the make and model of new electronic organ and accepted an offer for the Temoval of the old pipe Further details of all fabric mallers are given in the separdte fabric rewi. The TreaSur ke the PCC infoTWDed of the financial sit¥Jation. as different matters were clarified and more inforniation became available. He also pri)duced an amended budgei followin%Y the filst national lockdown and the suspension of public services and of parish activities generally_ Further details of the PCC'S finances are set out later in this report. R¢ports wer¢ ¢Iulat¢d of the very few nMittee meetings which had taken place, notsbly the Mi&sions and MAP committees, as well & Deanery sl)d. The refi]shment fi]ndrdising comrnittee was also very active, making grant applications as well as organi5ing a chair sponsorship schcme, primlucing items for sale and arranging for market stalls on two occasions in October and t)ecember. In November the PCC received a reFMIrt on 'eco-church', as a result of which it was resolved this church should become zero neutrnl by 2030 and a small team was fornied to monitor how this tnight be achieved.
On th¢ safeguarding of children and wlnerable adults the PCC h&1 fornially adopted the Church of England'5 policy in October 2018. Checks contÉnued to be made ihai all nece55ary DBS certificates were upto-date and on-line training provided by the Diocese being undertaken. Since the f]re in Decernber 2018 the church had teen meetÉng for Sunday worship in Greneway School hall, but this had to stop with the introduction of the rs( national lockdown in Mid Mar¢h. A collaborativc effort by a number of people then enabled Sunday worship io be available via You Tube, a resource much valued by many people. Public worship w&8 unable to resume again until a new venue became available ie at the town hall in y September. Howevw, this also had to stop with the second lockdown in November when You Tube services again became the means of people worshipping together. A Christingle service and a carol service in December were also provided by this means. Othenvise people were generally kept in contact with one another with weekly notice sheets and a letter from the Vicar (circulated to everyone by email. with hard copies delivered to those without internet access) and the parish magazine 'Across Royston, continued to k prixluced. Although regular events like the annual church quiz and hatv¢st supp¢r could not held. house groups coniinued to Me virtually as did some oiher wups, and ongoing telephone Contsct was organised with those who rnight otherwise have been more isolated. 'fhus the church being the body of people rathtt than the buildin& parish life continued to function. albeit rather differently from other years, with the intention that everyone was included and no-one in the congregation should b¢ left unsupported. Finneial Summary The devastatin¥ fire. which occurred on the 9th December 2018. ntinUed to have a significant impact on the financial results during 2020 and thi5 was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The p8ndtmic had a Inajor impact on our abiliiy lo raise money with both church servic¢s and fid[al$lg events not Possible for the majority olthe year. Both of these events are refltj in the summary detailed below. Total incorne for the year was £199,062 (2019 £207266). Strwdrdship income totslled £78,870, a decrease of £2.159 or 2./ on the previous yvdf. Gift Aid recovery froTn all source& including fire and other donations. amounied 10 £25,013, up from £20,477. or 22.1 /•. in the previous year. This Gtft Aid recovery was again heltd by the inclusion of a claim arising from the Gift Aid Small Donations Schelne (GASDS). With effect from April 2016 the amount which can be clailned annually under this scheme amounts to £2.0(M). As a result of lower in¢om¢ from Collections on the ple. wall safe and other donations the income from GASDS w&% down by £886. With ihe reduction in the numlr of church servic¢s collections on the plate. at £2.132. were down by £3.768 compared with 2019. As in 2019 th¢ impact from ihe re meant tha( no Chatitable collections were made at weddings and baptisms. Sundry donations were £21.394. a decrease of £12,769 year on year. Although generous donatÈons contÈnued to bt received following the flre they were lower than in 2019. The amount received in the year, including Gift Ai(L amount¢d to £19,417. These dOnlon5 have been treated &8 restricted income &$ part of th¢ Church R¢furbishment Fund. Excluding these re reled donati(S the tothl would have been largely in line with2019. Other voluntary income was ai £31.504. up by £24,167 year yew. Within the total figure Tegular fund raising in the year, £2295, down by £5,2. This decrease was accounTrd for by a lower result from i)oth the Quiz Evening and Saturday Coffee, th¢ latter due to the pandemic. and 2019 including income from the Auction of Promises. Further fundrnising acriviiies were noi p)ssible during the year. Other fimd rdising activities towards the refiNbishment did take place, the most notsble One trting donations to the "Sponsor a Chair" scheme which raised £24.471 (£29246 including Gift Aid). In 2019 Income froTn insurdnce claim4 £44.935. represenied the amount received in that year from insurers for contents destroyed in the fire and which will be lI]sed in fuwre years. Magazine revenue was lower at £1,252. Fee income, ai £3,349. was again significanily down on the previous year, (£7.087). reflecting the activity in Ert)th weddings and funernls due to iK)th th¢ church not being available and the impact olCOVltkl9. During ihe year a generous grant of £20.000 was received from Th¢ BTi8n Ra¢h¢T Tn]st towards th¢ Cost of the refurbishmen( following the fire. Rentsl income was significanily up. from £1,381 to £13.128, reflecttng a fvll year5 income from the house at 12 Prince Andrews Close which was let to a new leant in November 2019.
Finally, with interest rates falling il m&int that income from invesbnents was, at £2,420, down on the £3,200 recorded in 2019. Tolal expenditure was £163.296. an increase of £1 1.717 on 2019 (£151579). Mission exnd1]re allocation followed our dard agreed practice of giving away l(P/o of our total stewardship incorne. including Gift Aid tax relief. and £IO.000 was made available the missions committee. Our rnost significant expenditure is that of Parish Share which for 2020 was £78.124 compared to £73.092 in the previous year. The increase of £5,032 reflects not only inflation. (£1,479), but also final reduction of £3,553 in the allowdnce for providing housing for the cutate which ceased 2019. Mission within parish during the year was down from £6.124 in 2019 to £1.658. This mainly reflects the lower cost of the Family Missioner who was on maternity leave 111 her contracted ended at the end of SepteTnber, {down by £3,682), coupled with lower expenses in oth¢T areas as a r¢5uIt of the pandemic. The low level of expenditure on church repair5 COlltinue5 to reflect the impact of the fire with the only expendkture of significance being incurred on 12 Prince And C105e. Church tunning expew were slightly down from £5.120 iti 2019 to £4.722 this year. the continuitig lower level frorn previous year5 mainly the result of the re. Fees paid to the diocese for weddings and fimerals were. & £2.350. down by £332 reflecting the continuing lower level of activity on weddings and funerals. Office equipment deprecation of £835 is the amouni incurred in writing down the photocopier. L&8t year an amount of £13,578 w&8 written off for th¢ audiolvisual ¢quipm¢nt dYed in the fire and which is thc subj¢¢l of on insurdnce claim. The cost of acquiring Christmas cards and othcr item5 of merchandis¢ accounted for the expenditure of £5,666 under Fund Raising Expenditure. During the yekr, we continued to consider the option5 for developing the inside of the church as part of the refurbishment. we incurred further professional fees amounting to £40.658. (2019: £15.6271 which have been classified as capital as an a&8et under Consli0n.. There are no other significant year on year variances io re)rL In summary, unr¢strict¢d incom¢ ¢xceed¢d expenditure to leave a Surplus of £7,935 for the year (2019.. £7.1971. Restricted funds show a Surplus of £84.114. (2019: £48.488). With regard (o endowmeni funds there was an unrealised profit of £1.730 on investments a resuli of which there w&s a nei incTease in consolidated funds of £9i,781 compared with £59,639 in 2019. The increase in debiors largely reflects an of £1 1,046 beTng the deposit paid on ihe new organ and £7,140 th¢ d¢posit on part of thc n¢w audiolvisual syslem. The figure for liabilities in 2019 included the sum of £1 I,IYJO a5 prepaid rent on 12 Prince Andrews Close. Other than the reflcction of the major items referred to aErf)ve, there are no major changes to the balan¢e sheet to report. Insuranet The Church is covered by the St Albans Diocesan group in$Wte heme for Churches {effected via Ecclesiastical Insurance Group}. This kxblicy includes public liability indemnity of up to 7.5 million pounds. It 8150 satisfies requirements within Employers. Liability (Cornpulsory Insurdnce Act of1969). Other costs. including losses due to fwe a[ thefl legal expew minor butlding wot*s and consequential loss are also covered within the wTrlicy. Reli3Thce upoD u•paid voluDte¢rs It is acknowledged by the PCC ever-inGTeasing am(yunt of Church maintenance a1 daY-tdaY rnnning requirements can only be met by virtue of the efforts of unpaid volunteers. Therefore the Church is wholly reliant un the coniinued provision of such unpaid and voluntary services for its ongoing welfare and strength.
