ALL SAINTS HALE BARNS WITH RINGWAY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

COUNCIL’S REPORT AND PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL’S RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Legal status

The Parochial Church Council is formed under the Church of England Assembly (Powers) Act 1919 and Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended and is currently regulated by Church Representation Rules Schedule 3 of the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended.

Objects

All Saints Hale Barns with Ringway Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church buildings.

Committees

Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the Parochial Church Council between meetings of that body, subject to any directions given by the council.

Other committees are formed as and when required. Currently these include a Finance Committee; an Overseas Mission Committee; a Fabric Committee; and a Pastoral Contact Team.

Achievements and Performance

The Parochial Church Council has not met in person during the year, but have conducted business by remote communications. At 31st December 2020 there were 95 on the Electoral Roll of the Church.

Plans for the future

During 2021 the Parochial Church Council and Sub Committees will continue to focus on consolidation of Social Media, and Discipleship Groups, developing relationships with children and families as well as building on inter-faith relations, financial regeneration and the church’s care of the environment.

Reserves policy

The Parochial Church Council endeavours to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds to meet six months’ unrestricted payments.

COUNCIL’S REPORT AND PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL’S RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (CONTINUED)

Risk

The major risks to which the Parochial Church Council is exposed, as identified by its members, have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks.

Election of Parochial Church Council Members

One third of the ordinary members of the Parochial Church Council are elected each year at the Annual Parochial Council Meeting. Each member is elected for a period of three years. A new member must be proposed and seconded to be able to serve on the council. Members are replaced as they retire. Ex-officio members of the Parochial Church Council include Deanery Synod members, licensed clergy, and readers.

Treasurer’s Report

The year ended 31 December 2020 has shown a total surplus for the year in the general fund of £12,328 compared to a deficit for the year 2019 of £3,248. This includes income one off legacies and a grant from Trafford Council. The annual parish share charge for the year of £28,177 represents 35% of the full share, so reflecting the terms of the appointment of Mother Clair.

Our budget provided for a parish share of 65%, with the balance of 30% to pay for the cost of a Families and Children’s Worker. An appointment was made in September 2018, with the money budgeted for the first eight months of 2018 set aside for a building fund and is shown in the designated funds.

The phone mast income has remained at the previous level on a rolling basis. The Leases of the Phone Mast providers, Arqiva and Vodafone, have both now expired. They have made proposals for new Lease rents, using the new electronic Communications Code of 2017. This ignored existing commitments and on the recommendation of the Diocese we have engaged the Phone Mas t Company of Oswestry to look after our interests and negotiations continue.

The School House rental income has reduced foe to goodwill towards the Therapy Centre which has much reduced operation through the year due to government decrees in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Their lease was to be renewed in September, but this was postponed until a fair market rent can be agreed by our surveyors.

COUNCIL’S REPORT AND PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL’S RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 (CONTINUED)

Parochial Church Council’s Responsibilities

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Parochial Church Council to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the church’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements the Parochial Church Council is required to:

The Parochial Church Council has overall responsibility for ensuring that the church has appropriate systems of control, financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, amended by the Charities Act 2006, and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of the Parochial Church Council and examiner

As the Parochial Church Council, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The PCC considers that the audit requirement of section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under sections 145 of the 2011 Act, follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as the Parochial Church Council 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 limited 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:

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The following accounting policies have been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP2005).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements 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 ( e.g. The Guides or Mothers’ Union), nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

(b) FUNDS

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Unrestricted funds are generally funds that can be used for PCC general purposes and are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use. These funds include those designated for a particular purpose by the PCC. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

(c) INCOMING RESOURCES

Income is included on an accruals basis.

Planned giving under Gift Aid, collections and donations are recognised when received.

Tax recoverable on Gift Aid is recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received.

Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Funds raised by fetes, garden parties and similar events are accounted for gross.

Sales of books and magazines are accounted for gross.

(d) OTHER INCOME

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

(e) INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable, and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.

ALL SAINTS HALE BARNS WITH RINGWAY PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

(f) 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 2020.

(g) RESOURCES EXPENDED

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.

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

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

Amounts received specifically for overseas mission are dealt with as restricted funds.

Support costs, being those of the Parish administrator, the Parish office and associated costs of printing, stationery etc., are allocated to the activity to which the cost relates directly and are apportioned on a basis considered appropriate by the PCC.

All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

(h) FIXED ASSETS

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings .

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off.

Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment .

Individual items of equipment are written off in the period in which the asset is acquired.

(i) INVESTMENTS

There are no Investments.

(j) CURRENT ASSETS

Amounts owing to PCC at 31 December 2020 in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors.

Short term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.
