## **6. Financial Review.** 2021 was again an unusual year dominated by lockdowns, church closures and social distancing caused by the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. Total general income increased by £1,558 which follows last year’s fall of £19,085. A large proportion of giving is via the Parish Giving scheme and standing orders. This has helped to keep voluntary income steadier than it would have been otherwise. Overall planned income which includes numbered envelopes, open plate collections and gift aid envelopes fell by £6,917 (2020: fall £6,709) between the two years. Some of this has been caused by the increase in Covid at Christmas and Parishioners leaving the Parish. Last year two large donations were received to help offset the fact that the May Fair was cancelled. These totalled £5,800, which was just £1,000 lower than the proceeds of the Fair in 2020. This year £7,000 has been given. The May Fair has now been cancelled for good. Instead from 2022 the church will have stalls at the bi-annual Crowthorne Carnival. Hall hire income was up this year from £2,727 to £4,198, but is still down on pre-pandemic levels of around £7,200, There were no weddings, (apart from one blessing), and some social activities were cancelled. Total general expenditure decreased by £4,940 (2020: decrease £5,182). The Parish share was lower this year by £888 at £77,796, overall clergy costs were lower by £647, maintenance costs were £1,469 less as the AVS maintenance bills were lower, and churchyard running costs in excess of restricted churchyard income were down by over £2,000. The net result was that we ended the year with a suplus of £234, (2020: deficit 7 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, CROWTHORNE £6,264) on general funds. For further details please refer to the notes to the accounts. General funds carried forward at the end of the year were £64,699 (2020: £64,465). 2021 was relatively a quiet year in respect of Restricted and Designated funds, however the Hardship fund which was started last year raised another £1,843 and £1,180 was paid out and it stands at £2,508 at the year end. Special collections were organised online again this year via Kindlink and for the first time via Just Giving. Income from investments boosted Other Designated by £2,576. The value of the Crowthorne Parish Trust investments rose by £17,850 between the two years. Altogether the Restricted and Designated funds rose by £21,146, increasing to £198,112 by the year end. For more details see Note 15 on page 19. ## **7. Reserves policy.** The reserves policy of the PCC is that at a minimum the Unrestricted Designated or Other Charitable Funds covers 3 months average expenditure. The actual unrestricted reserves balance of £64,699 covers over 6 months’ worth of expenditure. The reserve policy on restricted funds is wholly dependent on the source and application, of how the funds were obtained and their purposes. Detailed records are maintained of these funds. The Trust fund now stands at £176,354 (2020: £158,504) following the revaluation at the year end. Income from this goes towards the Other Designated fund. The capital can only be spent on property. The Repair and Renovation fund stands at £7,736 at the year end. It is our policy to invest our cash deposits with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, which is with CCLA Investment Management Ltd. ## **8. Crowthorne Parish Church Trust.** The PCC members are the Managing Trustees of the Crowthorne Parish Church Trust with the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance being the Custodian Trustee. The Crowthorne Parish Trust goes back to 1945 when Property was left to the Parish by Mary Constance Lavie, this property being “St John’s Cottage” and “Hobart”. These were sold and property at 49 Greenwood Road purchased. The property at Greenwood Road was later sold and 49 Church Road was purchased jointly with the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance. In 1992 this property was sold and the trusts split of the net proceeds being £59,439.57. When the property was sold the proceeds were invested and in July 1994 they were reported to be £70,000. Income from the investments has been used for the renovation projects, being the roof, central heating, church hall roof, AVS, and organ. The Funds of this Trust are fully reported within the Accounts of the PCC and as at the 31[st] December 2021, as mentioned above, stood at £176,354 (2020: £158,504) and are detailed in notes 12, 15 and 17 of the Accounts. 8 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, CROWTHORNE ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, CROWTHORNE.** I report on the financial Statements of the PCC for the year ended 31[st] December 2021, which are set out on the following pages (section 3 pages 2 to 13), ## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner.** As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirements of Regulation 3(3) and section 144 (2) of the 2011 Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to: 1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 2. To follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5(b) of the 2011 Act and 3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of independant examiner’s report.** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under the 2011 Act and to be found in PCC Accountability guidance, 5[th] edition, 2017, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops’ Council. The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also considers any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **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 S 130 of the 2011 Act; and - To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 2011 Act and the Regulations have not been met; or 2. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## Signed: - Dated: 18[th] April 2022 Laura Myers 5 Hatch Ride, Crowthorne, Berkshire, RG45 6LF 9 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST.

Clergy costs came down following our vicar’s leaving. Most other costs were fairly similar to last years, except the Churchyard costs were down to more normal levels. Church maintenance this year includes £3,868 re boiler maintenance costs and £3,795 for the AVS repairs and maintenance. ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2021 (Cont’d)** The Mission Giving is distributed equally to the following charities - Bible Society, Leprosy Mission, Corrymeela, Church Army, Church Missionary Society, Hope Zone and Embrace the Middle East. ## **9. Governance Costs.** No governance costs have been incurred. Governance costs relate to audit and other professional fees. ## **10. Members of the PCC.** No members of the PCC (or any persons knowingly connected with them) received any remuneration during the year with exception of repayments of amounts spent on behalf of the PCC and the incumbent receives mileage and other expenses as set out in note 8. ## **11. Employees. -** There were no employees during the year. Honaria paid to organists and the choir director amounted to £3,299 (2020: £2,698), costs were higher this year partly due to the church being open more this year than last and also because we put up the rates payable. 19 PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST.
