**Reports** 

## Electoral Roll Statement – Graham Reynolds 

- 122 on roll previously. 7 were added, 6 were removed. Three moved out of area and three sadly died. 

- As far as we know, the current roll is now 123. Full details are in the full report which was duly circulated. St George’s is included as a daughter church. 

- 185 is the total figure for both St Gregory’s and St George’s that Graham will send to the Diocese of Exeter. 

## Annual Report 

- Was circulated prior to the meeting. 

## Financial Report 

- PJ reminded everyone that reports were for last year. 

- Overall there was a small surplus, which was unexpected, but occurred due to a legacy from John Teed. 

- PJ did note that giving was slowly decreasing due to current circumstances and fewer people attending church. 

## Annual Fabric Report 

- Was circulated prior to the meeting. 

## Deanery Synod Report 

- Was circulated prior to the meeting. 

- Dallas thanked Will for writing this report. 

## **Elections and Appointments** 

## 1. Election of representatives to Deanery Synod 

- Dallas thanked Will Halse, Chris Wall and Andrew Fuller for being representatives and attending Deanery Synod. 

- Will Halse and Andrew Fuller are happy to continue to serve in this way. 

- Ann Leigh represents St George’s at Deanery Synod meetings. 

- Cath Chappell has also agreed to be a representative for Deanery Synod, which was proposed and seconded. 

## 2. Election of PCC members to serve for 3 years 

- Dallas Ayling received a nomination from Richard Sulch to join the PCC meeting. This was accepted and Dallas thanked Richard for being willing to serve. 

- Dallas noted that this would mean that numbers on the PCC would be lower for the next few months. We hope and pray that at the next annual meeting in April 2021 that these spaces will be filled by willing volunteers. 

- Dallas thanked Mary May, Rosemary Hughes-Parry and Roz Smith for their service as they finish their three years as PCC members. 



## 3. Appoint Independent Examiner if necessary – not a PCC member 

- Dallas Ayling thanked Ian Andrews for his work as Independent Examiner. 

- PJ nominated Ian Andrews to continue as Independent Examiner, Graham Reynolds seconded this. All in favour. Accepted. 

## 4. Concluding Report by Revd Dallas Ayling 

- Dallas Ayling thanked Sabrina Andrews for her work in the office and as secretary. 

- Dallas thanked the team around her for their support. 

- Richard Orr thanked Dallas for her hard work and direction in the way that the church was re-opened during COVID-19; it was much appreciated by all. 

- Mike Moulds also thanked Dallas for her fortitude, good-humoured leadership and work behind the scenes during what has been a very difficult few months. 

- Dallas spoke about the difficulties involved in ministry at the current time; the difficulty in not being able to conduct pastoral visits and telling people not to come to church! Everyone is learning how to do church fellowship and community in a different way, which has caused concern for both Dallas and the staff team. Without the staff team, this period of time would have been more difficult than it has been. The support and services are happening due to the efforts of retired clergy. 

- It has been difficult to consider all of the events and plans that have not been able to take place because of the past year and how those things have disappeared. It is difficult also to plan due to uncertainty. Dallas and the staff team are beginning to try to plan events over Christmas and what these will look like; how will this be managed. We are trying to get things ‘right’ in the way that they happen. 

- When multiple services happen in consecutive days, the church building will need to be cleaned. But for Christmas Eve and Day, we will not be able to have a midnight service this year because we will need the church to be cleaned following this service to allow attendance for Christmas day. If there are two services on Christmas Eve, cleaning will need to take place in-between these services and then again after the latter. Details of this will be in the next newsletter. This is being discussed early so that plans may be made; these plans cannot go ahead without volunteers. 

- The desire and aim of Dallas and the staff team is to do the best that can be done with the resources and time we have; if you notice things that are not taking place as they could, please do contact any of the staff team. Gentle reminders are welcome. We are, however, always trying to keep up to date with current guidelines issued by both the Church of England and the Government as they are issued. Our Archdeacon (Andrew Beane) is very helpful and supportive for the staff team. 

- Our focus is to have churches open and being COVID-19 compliant.  While church may look empty during services, actually, we are having the numbers that we can to be safe within current guidance and whilst socially distancing. 

- Marjorie Thorne asked about a drive in Carol Service and whether this might go ahead. Dallas reported that it has been agreed that we may use one of the Dawlish Warren car 



parks in conjunction with Mark Jones and the DCF Church. These plans are still ongoing and being worked-out. If we could arrange a community drive in Carol service, this would be a great accomplishment for St Gregory’s and the community. 

## Any Other Business 

- None Reported. 

## Final Prayers 

- Conducted by Dallas at 8.22pm. 

- The meeting closed at 8.25pm. 



**St Gregory’s Church Dawlish** 

**The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of Dawlish with Holcombe** 

## **Annual Report and** 

**Financial Statements of the Parochial Church Council** 

for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 

Rector: The Reverend Dallas Ayling 

Independent Examiner: Mr Ian Andrews 28 Underwood Close Dawlish Devon EX7 9RY 

Our web site: **http://www.cofe-in-dawlish.org.uk/** 

## **Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2020** 

## **Aim and Purpose** 

We are the Parish of Dawlish, consisting of St Gregory the Great, Dawlish, with St George’s of Holcombe, providing worship and outreach to the two communities. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

To support and promote the Christian faith through worship, preaching, prayer and teaching. 

## **Worship and Prayer** 

We provide worship on Sunday in both buildings including Holy Communion, at 8am, 9.30am and 10am as part of main Sunday worship and 6.30pm Choral Evensong and midweek Holy Communion.  During this year our Churches were closed either by the Government or by the decision of the PCC of Dawlish and the DCC of Holcombe due to Covid-19.  We have provided worship on a Sunday morning via Telephone Conferencing at 10 am and the prayer meeting by Zoom on Tuesday mornings at 9 am. 

## **Electoral Roll** 

At present there are 125 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, 112 of whom live within the parish. No new names were added during the year and 1 was removed. 

## **Occasional Offices** 

There have been 2 Baptisms, 0 weddings and    16 funerals during the year.  All occasional offices have been affected by Covid-19 restrictions. Weddings were postponed by couples to the following years. 

## **Pastoral Care** 

Those who are no longer able to come to Church are not forgotten but due to Covid-19 visiting people in their homes has not been encouraged. At the beginning of the first lockdown in March the Rector set up a system of pastoral support giving responsibility to Staff Team members and other group leaders to keep in touch with church members at St. Gregory’s.  St. George’s also provided pastoral support by telephone. 



To help with communication a Benefice E- newsletter has been sent out weekly.  St. George’s has produced the Turret Times on a regular basis and there has been a weekly news round email for St. George’s. 

## **Staffing** 

The year began with the retirement of the Revd. Prebendary Chris Curd from Holcombe. Discussions have been held with the Diocese as to the provision of future ministry for St. George’s and the wider Benefice.  A new appointment has not yet been made. 

## **Kenn Deanery Synod** 

We are part of Kenn Deanery. The Rural Dean is the Revd. Dallas Ayling and Chair of Synod. We met three times in the year at churches in the Deanery although in 2020 we were only able to meet once face to face.  A second meeting was held on Zoom to appoint officers in December 2020 following the new membership of Synod. 

Four members were appointed.  Will Halse, Andrew Fuller, Catherine Chappell,  Ann Leigh was appointed from St. Georges.  This Deanery Synod will run from November 2020-June 2023. 

## **Church Fabric** 

The Fabric Working Group’s members are: Mike Moulds, Ray Moore, Ray Williams, Mike Smith and Paul Jones. 

During this lockdown year of 2020 business has been conducted by email and telephone. 

The most notable event has been the appointment by the PCC of West Access Conservation to undertake maintenance of the church building.  The company provide twice yearly maintenance visits.  In the course of their visits the roof coverings, valleys, gutters, rainwater gullies are checked to ensure they are in good condition and any problems or defects are identified in good time. 

After one visit, this has already proved beneficial with many loose slates and lead flashing defects 

being identified.  A maintenance log is provided to allow for a phased schedule of repairs. As a consequence of intermittent lockdowns, the usual handover of responsibilities to the new churchwardens has been delayed.  The inventory was not checked during 2020 and this will be undertaken in April 2021. The significant items of change in the inventory are as follows: 

- The disposal of one grand piano from the north transept. 

- The installation of the projector in the nave. 

- The fitments, fittings and equipment in both the kitchen and office will be updated following the complete re-fit of the kitchen and the refurbishment of the office with new stand-alone furniture. 

Tim Bryant re-decorated the church office which included the making good of the west wall which had deteriorated badly over the years.  This was followed by the fitting of a new carpet to match that of the main area of the lower narthex. 

Mike Moulds, March 2021 

## **Other Activities** 

St Gregory’s parishioners are responsible for coordinating and organising a wide range of activities: Home and Prayer groups, Bell ringing, Ramblers, Amblers and Little Greg’s, to name just a handful.   Much of our activity was curtailed by the Government requirements for lock down and with the Tier system.  Some Home Groups have continued via Zoom or keep in contact via email and telephone calls. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total receipts for 2020 were £126,828 and payments were £103,830, giving a surplus of £22,998. 

However it has to be noted that PCC received a substantial legacy in 2020 without which the accounts would have shown a deficit of £24,600. 

Planned giving continues to decrease despite those unable to give at services switching their giving to Standing Order and PGS, we now have 30 people using the PGS system.

During 2020 we installed the new projector, completed the long overdue refurbishment of the kitchen and are progressing with the office refresh. 

In 2021 we have to consider more electrical repair work, possible roof repairs and a fire-alarm replacement. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The PCC has a Reserves Policy that states we should have unrestricted funds that cover 50% of annual operating costs (excluding Common Fund payments and Special Projects) to cover emergencies. 

For 2020 this required us to have £16,500 and our general reserves exceeded this . 

Similarly for restricted funds the PCC has set the level at £10,000 (fabric) and £2,500 (Young People) which has been maintained.

**Rector’s Annual Report for the Benefice of Dawlish with Holcome, Cofton and Starcorss for the year 2020** 

We are in difficult and uncertain territory with the Covid-19 pandemic having disrupted the normal patterns of life, which of course has included our church life together.  Many of the plans that we had been working towards over the past year we had to let go of.  Our churches have been closed more than they have been open.  We found ourselves closed by the Government for Easter and had to work out new ways of worshipping together and offering pastoral support.  We delayed opening our churches until at least September because we were concerned whether the tourists would bring the Covid-19 infection to us. 

Each church required a risk assessment before opening with plans as to how to keep people safe in our buildings and everyone involved worked really hard to make this happen.  As the designated “venue manager” by the Government it has been my responsibility to sign off all risk assessments in each of our churches.  We had no idea how long we would need these measures in place, but they continue to be necessary. 

We were then closed again in November by the Government for a month.  This made planning for Christmas extremely difficult. Each church managed to be open for worship on a limited basis.  The take up for some services was less than expected. 

Funerals with a limited number of mourners have been allowed in our churches, except for the first lockdown.  Weddings have for periods been allowed but once again with small numbers.  Many were postponed until 2021 and even 2022. 

When we have been able to be open for worship with St. Gregory’s and St. George’s using a booking system because of the limited numbers we were able to accommodate due to the requirements of social distancing at 2 metres. St. Paul’s and St. Mary’s have mainly managed without a booking system. 

We organised ourselves quite quickly and the following were put in place. 

## **Worship** 

A weekly Sunday Telephone Service has been provided at 10 am 

A weekly online service via Facebook and You-tube has been provided. These have continued when the churches have been open for those who have not been confident to attend public worship or have been shielding. 

## **Prayer** 

Tuesday morning, we have held a prayer meeting on Zoom and learned how to do that together. 

## **Pastoral care** 

Telephoning has been our main way of keeping in touch with people. 

For the whole Benefice we have also held Zoom Coffee mornings on Sundays and during the week Coffee mornings/Afternoon Tea for those who have been able and willing to join in.  It has been a time when we have learned more about each other and these times have often been filled with laughter and the sharing of ideas. 



## **Communication** 

A weekly Benefice E-Newsletter has been sent out.  There has also been a Newsroom, Turret Times and Revd. Richard Allen’s email letters too.  For those who do not use the internet where possible we have delivered paper copies.  Christmas Cards were sent to those on the electoral role of St. George’s and St. Gregory’s. 

## **Advent Course** 

In December we held a Benefice Advent Course on Sunday evenings which worked well on Zoom and we had good attendance. 

## **Home Groups and the Julian Group** 

Some of these have been able to operate either by Zoom or by email. 

## **Mothers’ Union** 

They have been able to meet at times over the year depending on the guidelines.  Meetings have mostly taken place at the Riverside Centre under the guidelines of Dawlish Town Council as St. Gregory’s lift has not been available for use and space is limited. 

## **PCC/DCC meetings** 

Legislation was passed to allow these to take place via an online platform wherever possible.  I am sorry that this meant that some people have not been able to take part fully in meetings across the Benefice but wherever possible people have been kept informed.  In respect of Cofton information has been shared by email mainly and for Starcross there has been different methods of communication. 

I would like to thank all of those who have stepped up to learning and using new technology.  I would also like to thank the Staff Team who have put in tremendous effort throughout plus our PtO clergy who have been extremely supportive as well. 

We have received excellent support from the Diocese helping us to interpret the guidelines together with regular support from the Archdeacon of Exeter to Rural Deans. 

## **Looking beyond and a visible presence** 

When I realised that we were going to go into lockdown in February, together with Mark Jones (DCF/ROC), we entered into discussions with the Town Council, and then joined by other agencies in the town, we formed Helping Dawlish.  We opened a community food larder and with those agencies provided a variety of support for people across our community.  Helping Dawlish covers Dawlish, Holcombe, Dawlish Warren and Cofton and this has been a really important engagement with our community which continues.  I have got to know people I would not otherwise have known, and I have learned more about their work and we have learned how to work together.  This has become a positive outcome of these days.  St. Paul’s also ran a local food bank for a significant period of time before it was relocated. 

Wherever possible we have tried to engage with our wider communities and outside events have taken place.  St Paul’s held a community market and St. Mary’s held a Harvest service and a Carol Service on the Cockwood Green.  St.Mary’s have been providing material for a prayer space at the lychgate and St. Gregory’s have provided a prayer gate. 

One of the highlights of last year was the Benefice being involved with Churches Together in providing a Drive in Service in September.  The equipment was provided for us by Dawlish 



Town Council in a field at Dawlish Warren.  This prompted us to organise a carol service in a similar style but this had to be cancelled due to flooding in the car park provided for it by Teignbridge District Council. 

## **Looking to the future** 

As I write this, we are in lockdown again, and although our churches could be open, we have closed them in line with the request of the Government that everyone should remain at home.  With many people receiving their vaccinations and the Government’s road map there is hope that we will be able to meet in larger numbers soon.  Risk Assessments are required to be renewed and we will need stewards etc. once again. 

Financially it has been a difficult time and that could have an effect on our future.  Please do read the accounts for your church and any notes which go with them. 

We have tried very hard to keep in touch with people, but we are concerned for those we have not heard from for what is a very long time is now.  However, we do hope that everyone who usually worships in one of our churches will return and we will look forward to seeing everyone again.  Hopefully one day singing will be restored and Holy Communion in both kinds. 

## **Looking at change and opportunities** 

For a while now there have been some discussions about whether it is time to re-organise the Benefice.  There is now a greater opportunity to do so as Revd. Preb. Chris Curd retired from her post as Associate Priest for Holcombe in January 2020 and Revd. Richard Allen, Associate Priest of Cofton and Starcross planned to move in 2021.  There are several other factors including: 

- the House for Duty post at Kenton remains vacant after 2 years. 

- there is a substantial increase in population in Dawlish, Holcombe and Dawlish Warren (part of Cofton Parish) 

- a major housing development is planned for Matlock (part of Exminster Parish) 

- House for Duty posts are not as easy to fill as they were. 

As a result of discussions and prayerful consideration plans are now in hand for Starcross and Kenton to be joined together with a half time stipendiary post for an experimental period of 3 years.  Each will remain as part of the Benefice they belong to certainly for that period of time.  It is hoped to appoint someone fairly soon in 2021. 

It is proposed that Cofton and Holcombe will become a joint House for Duty post with one priest looking after both churches. There may be provision for 1 extra day available to make it a Sunday plus 3 day post. 

When I first came to the Benefice, I set out the challenge of staffing the Benefice and at times it has been more challenging than even I expected.  The Diocese has a commitment to reduce the number of stipendiary clergy, over time.  This Benefice has been blessed by the number of clergy it has had at any one time over the years and in particular the support of PtO clergy.  However, we cannot be sustainable by relying on PtO clergy.  They are a blessing to us, but they are retired and that must be respected.  We also now have two PtO Readers. Margaret Noel and Will Halse are excellent members of the Staff Team but we must also respect their status too.  Revd. Tim Collins will be finishing his curacy by July 2022.  The 



earliest a new curate could be appointed is the summer of 2023 if the Diocese decides that is appropriate.  As I spell this out once again, I am sure that you are getting the picture. 

Our congregation profiles are on the elderly spectrum so in all of this we must make mission a priority to families and young people.  It is therefore important to consider how best to use our priests and readers with the skill set each brings. A challenge for the Benefice is how to take responsibility for the mission of the church.  What will you be expecting 1 priest and 1 House for Duty part time priest to do?  What should the priorities be? 

In the context in which we find ourselves this is an opportunity to re-evaluate and think about what our role is as the Church in the future.  What have we learned this year?  What have we discovered is important to us?  How does that inform the future in the context which I have set out? 

Every church community is distinctive and that is important to maintain but to sustain that it will mean working closer together, sharing our strengths and valuing each other and what we bring to the table for the future. 

Revd. Dallas Ayling (Rector)                              February 2021 



## **Deanery Synod Report for the Benefice of Dawlish with Holcombe for the year 2020** 

Deanery Synod met only twice during 2020, on 12 February at St James, Teignmouth and on 15 December via Zoom. It was agreed to move synod meetings around the deanery to include every church over time but that has not yet been started due to Covid restrictions. 

The guest speakers at the February meeting spoke about Exeter street pastors. There were no guest speakers at the Zoom meeting in December. 

## **Devon Historic Churches Trust** 

Over £44000 was raised in September 2019 (of which Kenn Deanery raised nearly £3000) but no special day was possible in 2020 due to the pandemic. 

## **Finance** 

Deanery Synod has more money in the bank than needed (£2000) so we agreed to a contribution holiday for parishes in 2020 and 2021 (usually £50) and also gave £100 to Thika Diocese in Kenya. This will reduce the bank balance to about £1000 in time. There is currently no deanery treasurer, and there is an urgent need to for someone to fulfil this role. The deanery accounts themselves are simple, and the minimum requirement would be to look after these. But ideally the role includes providing support and advice to church treasurers in the deanery, and is often filled by a church treasurer. 

## **Thika Diocese** 

In February it was reported that the total donations for ‘Farming God’s Way’ now totalled £15,850 towards the target of £18,000. Julius, the field officer is pushing on towards the aim of training 200 ‘Champion Farmers’ in conservation methods. Six priests had been ordained in November. Currently the rains were doing well. There were some Thika donations in hand, which would provide funding for the next few months. Schools are due to reopen in January as most classes had been stopped since March. Jane and Brian Inwood, our link with Thika, are moving out of the diocese and will be greatly missed. 

## **Living in love and faith discussions** 

This is an initiative to help churches to talk about LGBT+ issues and to raise awareness of the need for inclusion within our church life. There will be study material for churches to use. The emphasis is on openness and acceptance and, where necessary, to be able to disagree while remaining in fellowship. This will happen in the form of teaching/discussion groups over the coming year. 

## **Clergy Wellbeing Covenant** 

This is a covenant to care for and support our clergy wellbeing, and material has been published to help us understand clergy needs, entitled A Document for Reflection and Action for Local Congregations. The material is available on the Church of England website. We have been asked to review the material within our churches and send the Deanery Synod Lay Chair a report of our conclusions and plans by the end of May, which she will collate and feed back to the diocese. I have written to the Lay Chair to say we need more time. We will need to plan a schedule of meetings, and also decide on a way to engage church members who cannot or will not use Zoom. 

## **Children and Young People** 

This topic is now to be included on the deanery synod agenda for every meeting. 



Will Halse                              April 2021 



## Ringers’ Report for PCC for 2020 

The year started normally enough, with plenty of ringers, practice nights and Sunday ringing. We even managed two quarter peals in early 2020 before the Lockdown, being First Quarters for no less than three of our ringers! 

When the Lockdown came in mid-March, all ringing was suspended. Within a few weeks we set up a WhatsApp group, and started holding weekly Zoom gettogethers on Wednesday evenings to chat and keep in touch, about half the band taking part regularly ever since. During the autumn we added ‘Ringing Room’ to the weekly get-togethers alongside Zoom. This website allows each ringer to press a key to ‘ring’ one or two bells on the computer screen.  It’s nothing like ringing an actual bell with rope and wheel, but keeps us thinking about methods, and performing together in some way. 

When Covid-secure services restarted in September, we resumed very limited ringing for them until the November lockdown, following all the guidelines: limiting ringing to 20 minutes and just 4 ringers, each keeping to just one rope, and all other ‘hands/face/space’ measures. We rang bells numbered 2,4,6, and 8 to keep well apart. About half our ringers (8) were on the rota for this. 

I am delighted that many of us have kept together as a band. We will get through this, and return to ringing keen to move forward; perhaps not exactly with the band as it was, but in new and fresh ways.

## **St Gregory the Great** Dawlish 


OUR CHURCH **OUR CHALLENGE** MY CHOICE 

## **our church** 

Over its long history, St Gregory’s has never stood still in ensuring that this is a church fit for worship, and fit too, as a place for **mission and ministry** 

Within the memory of so many who attend, much has been undertaken to ensure that the **building** is in good standing: 

- The Narthex conversion took place in 1984, toilets were added, and the kitchen moved upstairs 


- The lift and disabled toilets were installed in 2015 


- The Upper and lower Narthex redecorated in 2015 


- The lighting in the church was upgraded in 2018 


- A new sound system was introduced in 2019 


- The projector and large projection screen were installed in 2020, just in time to use with the Covid re-opening 


Clearly, such major works do not come without a cost 

The total cost of these projects was in excess of £200,000 – raised through generous donations and other funds. 

## **our commitment** 

## _**Over the last few months, we have:**_ 

- Developed a bright, spacious and flexible office and meeting space in the Lower Narthex 


- Refurbished the kitchen to ensure that it meets all the necessary Health & Safety requirements. This will mean that we can explore catering options – both for events within the church, and for external ones 


- Undertaken a thorough inspection and completed work on the electrical systems 


## **To complete all this will have cost us:** 

- **£4,000** for the office 

- **£10,000** for the kitchen 

- **£6,000** for the essential electrical work 

**This is in addition to our regular commitments:** 

- £ **950 per week** on the Common Fund 

- £ **18,000** on our building: insurance, heat, light etc 

- £ **5000** on worship and ministry: for our congregation and wider community, including our commitments to Churches Together in Dawlish and District and ROC Dawlish 

- £ **9000** on administrative support to the Benefice 


_This ministry not only supplies the needs of the saints but overflows with many thanksgivings to God_ 

**2 Cor 9:12** 

## _**Thank you for helping to make this happen!**_ 



## **our challen e g** 

To cultivate what St Paul calls the **grace of giving** we need to think carefully about all we receive from God and prayerfully review our giving. 

Any additional or increase in contribution you make will help us not only to complete our commitment for our church in Dawlish, but also sustain the future for **mission and ministry** . 

Please think carefully about how you may best help us now, and in the future 

## **next steps** 

In considering what you might do next, please talk with members of the PCC, particularly Paul Jones, our treasurer, through the office: 

## **St Gregory’s office** : 

Tel:    01626 864322 email: st.gregs@btinternet.com 

## **m choice y** 

Our church planned giving scheme has **68** members, either using the Parish Giving Scheme or regular standing order payments 

## _**Is it time to join Parish Giving Scheme?**_ 

The scheme is a way of regular giving. Through your generous commitment, St Gregory’s can be assured of a regular, taxefficient source of income, which has the capacity to increase with the cost of living, yet involves virtually no administration within the parish. 

## _**Is it time to increase your current contribution?**_ 

If you are already a member of the Parish Giving Scheme, then have you agreed for it to increase on a yearly basis? If not, then please consider this as an option. 

If you are giving by standing order, might you consider increasing it by a small amount each year, to reflect inflation? 

## _**Might you think about leaving a legacy to the church on your death?**_ 

Leaving an amount in your will provides another way to secure the future of worship and ministry at St Gregory’s 

## _**Would you consider a one-off donation?**_ 

## **how much?** 

## **How do we decide how much to give?** 

There is no one, easy answer for everyone. We are called to love God and our neighbour and our giving is an expression of that love. 

This leaflet gives some clear guidance and there are very practical things we can do: 


- **increase** our giving to meet our church’s needs 


- **join** the Parish Giving Scheme 


- **optimise** our giving using Gift Aid if we pay tax 


- **make a legacy gift** when we plan for the future of those we love and care for 

But at the end of the day how much to give is a thoughtful, prayerful decision only you can make. Love is generous, love is kind and love is selfless - we see that in all God gives to us; how will we respond? 


If you are a basic rate tax-giver, then HMRC will add an extra 25% to any charitable donations you make 

_But just as you excel in everything… see that you also excel in this grace of giving_ 


_This is a ministry for everyone – ‘each according to your means’_ 


## _**Please think and pray about your response**_

## **Sent on behalf of the PCC by the PCC Secretary** 

Dear 

On behalf of the PCC, I am writing to express our grateful thanks for your continued support to St. Gregory’s Church. 

Thank you to everyone who has given to the weekly collection, monthly via Standing Order, bank transfer or through the Parish Giving Scheme, or has sent their gift through the post. We would also like to thank everyone who has included a gift in their will. 

All these gifts help us to continue our ministry and mission to the Community. 

Thank You.

## **Treasurer’s notes for St. Gregory’s 2020 Accounts** 

As usual there are 3 parts to these accounts 

- This notes section which highlights the main items of importance or interest. 

- The “Financial Statement” which is the traditional view of the accounts as required by the Diocese. 

- The “Year to Date” view that builds up through the year and which is given to the PCC every month. 

The “Financial Statement” and “Year to Date” are two different views of the same information 

PCC accounts are available for examination at any time 

## **Income** 

- Covid-19 has prevented us holding services for much of the year (Sunday, weekday, funerals etc.), this has had a significant impact 

- Planned giving Although total planned giving has fallen the situation is much more encouraging than it looked in the early part of the year. Giving using Gift Aid envelopes ceased when services stopped in March, but over the year a number of people transferred their giving to Standing Orders and particularly the Parish Giving Scheme which has made a huge difference. Several people also sent their donations through the post or by bank transfer. I cannot overstate how important regular giving is to the Church both locally and on a Diocesan and national level so my thanks to everyone. 

- Income Tax recovered 

We are able to reclaim income tax when we have Gift Aid declarations that cover the money given. Tax is automatically recovered monthly in the Parish Giving Scheme for those that agreed that option, and I make a claim annually for other eligible giving. I had planned to ask people to review giving and Gift Aid declarations in 2020 (it is thought to be good practice to do it every few years) but the circumstances did not allow it, if circumstances allow I will do this during 2021. 

- Legacies Occasionally we are fortunate to benefit from a legacy, in 2020 we benefitted from a substantial bequest from the estate of Rex Stone – more on that later. 

- Projects 

Despite several hopeful grant applications we did not have much success obtaining funding for the kitchen and office uplifts, so we were all the more grateful to the All Churches Trust and to the Hoare Golden Bottle Trust who supported us once again. 

## **Payments** 

- Common Fund 

   - Having had several years of surplus PCC agreed early in the year that we should commit to complete our Common Fund payments in 2020 (£48,349) which we achieved, our 2021 assessment is £48,896. 

- Utilities 

Unsurprising our gas and electricity usage was reduced given the Church was closed for much of the year, which helped to offset the reduction in income, I was also able to recover vat we had been overcharged. 

In November we changed gas and electricity contracts, we stay with same supplier but are now bundled together with other Churches on a ‘group purchase’ contract, 

My thanks again to Mike Smith and Mike Moulds for their continued vigilance with the heating systems. 



- Charity donations 

The PCC has donated to the following charities (some more than once). 

UCADD CAP Devon Hist. Churches Exeter Cathedral Dawlish & District Council of Churches World Day of Prayer St. Petrocks Ltd USPG (United Society) Mission to Seafarers Church Mission Society Church Army 

We also continue to facilitate the project that provided a defibrillator in Dawlish Water 

- Fabric / Projects 

   - We completed the Sound & Vision project with the installation of the projector in 2020, funding for which had been accumulated in previous years. 

After something like 35 years the kitchen had seen better days and PCC agreed that it was overdue refurbishment and used the money from the Rex Stone legacy to do this. Similarly the Church Office was not an especially inviting place to meet, particularly when talking to wedding or baptism groups. The refurbished office will hopefully be acceptable to a wider audience. 

The electrical system has been inspected as has the roof, both have highlighted maintenance items. 

## **2021 – Probable / Possible expenditure** 

- The inspection of the electrical system has highlighted some shortcomings, if PCC decide to address these it will cost around £3,000. 

- A roof inspection has highlighted several maintenance items but as yet costs are unknown. 

- During 2020 PCC decided there was little benefit in upgrading the fire alarm and emergency lighting systems (a difficult and complicated discussion). Following a second inspection PCC may chose to re-examine the situation. 

## **General** 

The 2020 accounts show an overall surplus of £22,998 but we were in surplus because of the generous legacy from Rex Stone. Without this legacy there would have been a deficit of £26,400. 

PCC previously decided that legacies should not be used for general expenses but should be set aside for specific projects and activities, in this instance some of the legacy was used to pay for refurbishment of the kitchen, the remainder is held in a legacy fund. 

2021 has started in much the same way that 2020 finished. I have estimated that if things return to ‘normal’ relatively quickly we would hope to balance the budget in 2021, if the covid situation persists we can expect a deficit of £11,000 or more. To this end I have made the Diocese aware that while we will do our best to complete our 2021 Common Fund allocation as things stand this is unlikely, though ultimately this is a PCC decision. 

I could not manage the accounts on my own and I am very grateful for the assistance I receive. I would like to thank all those who help with collections, envelopes, fees etc., but particular thanks once again to Richard Sulch and Graham Reynolds. Also many thanks to Ian Andrews our Independent Examiner.
