Objectives & Activities for the Public Benefit

The Parish of Bishopston and St Andrews has responsibility of co-operating with the clergy to promote the whole mission of the church in the ecclesiastical parish. The PCC oversees the activities of B&A Church and the Church of The Good Shepherd. It also has maintenance responsibility for the parish buildings. The Parish is part of the Diocese of Bristol.

The Parish Vision and Strategy remains focussed upon discipleship, mission and evangelism. In 2020 the title of the strategy was changed from ‘Everyone’s Invited’ to ‘Follow Jesus Together’. The parish values remain that we follow Jesus together as a people who are all-in, fun, welcoming and submitted.

This is to be achieved through the growth and establishment of communities called Little Churches. Little Churches are the foundational structures of our church community. Little Churches are smaller groups enabling members of the church family to do life together, grow as disciples and invite others to encounter the Lord Jesus through the activities and people of the local church.

We have set five standard objectives to track and assess progress under the strategy: live, love, give, go and organise.

We aim to help one another to:

live before God; love others as family; give our lives away; go and share the good news of Jesus;

and organise ourselves in order to enable growth.

Review of Achievements & Performance

The PCC reviews achievements and performance using the Parish Playbook. Each version of the playbook contains the standard objectives of the PCC and current priorities as identified by the senior leadership and the PCC.

The Impact of COVID-19

As 2020 began, the PCC was committed to a series of objectives (Ending the Beginning of B&A) focussed on establishing the new identity of B&A as a church, its structures and culture. The key components that made up the series of objectives were as follows:

Being confident and clear in what we do at B&A;

Launching the discipleship strategy;

Enabling spirit-powered invitation;

Breaking cultural homogeneity;

Buildings for the strategy.

In March 2020 the UK was placed into lockdown and public worship in Church of England churches was suspended. Prior to lockdown the leadership of the parish had prepared for the necessary changes that would be required for when a form of COVID lockdown came to the United Kingdom. It was recognised that the parish strategy and structures would enable a pivot through the delivery of online material, the strengthening and support of Little Churches and their leadership and continuing to focus on core activities that remained possible under COVID restrictions.

2

Prior to lockdown three areas were prioritised:

Content Delivery - the creation of processes, procedures and the development of the B&A website to enable delivery of content for Little Churches, households and individuals.

Little Church - ensuring every Little Church knew who their members were, encouraging those on the fringe of church life to join Little Churches and creating support networks for the members of the 9.30 Congregation.

Activities - reviewing activities in order to enable necessary support activities to continue during lockdown where appropriate.

There was an immediate impact upon parish finances. Approximately 20% of parish income is derived from hall lets to a range of local community groups. All of these were paused with immediate effect in March 2020 and when restrictions were initially lifted in the summer of 2020 only a small number of groups were able to return. Significant changes had to be made to the parish budgets across all cost areas in order to achieve a balanced budget in 2020.

Whilst it is clear that COVID-19 has an adverse effect upon much of church life, the church leadership have identified that COVID-19 has acted as a catalyst for further cultural growth and change in the life of B&A. In order to enable further growth and development in line with the parish strategy the parish playbook was revised in Autumn 2020.

B&A priority in COVID era - leading people from lukewarm to white-hot discipleship.

A number of cultural commentators noted that post-Christendom combined with COVID would make it harder not easier to be a Christian. As one commentator stated that whilst we might be beaming church into your homes, you still have to get past Netflix, Disney+ et al to find your local church! Therefore, a key task for churches in this season is to enable people to grow as disciples and followers of Jesus.

It was also noted by the parish leadership that COVID-19 was bringing into focus wider changes in society that would have an impact upon culture and therefore church for many years to come. To ignore the advent of these changes would have an adverse impact upon the strategy of the church over the coming years.

To enable this 5 key areas were identified for the leadership of the parish to focus on.

Communication

Discipleship

Little Churches

Support Team

Bullet Proof Processes

All of these are to support the development of the ongoing B&A priorities:

Live with God

Love others as family

Give your life away

Go and share

Organise

3

Communication - developing a strategy and processes that are prophetic, clear and consistent.

The loss of a centralised gathering point (Sunday Service) with lockdown brought into sharp focus the need for a fully coherent communications strategy that all staff and church leadership can participate in. Put simply, if we are to enable people to go from luke-warm to white hot they need to hear what God is saying to us, be able to remember that and know how to join in.

In 2020 the parish entered into a short term contract with Choosemore to assist with the development and delivery of a communications strategy. The plan is that in 2021 a part-time Communications role will continue to develop this work. The focus of this work will be on developing the parish website and communication channels.

In addition, there is an increased emphasis upon enabling and encouraging church leaders to discern what God is saying to the church. This is achieved through prayer, reading of the scriptures and by paying attention to the voices of the worldwide church and culture.

Discipleship - enabling people to encounter God at home and talk about it.

COVID-19 had brought into sharp focus the need for churches to enable people to be active disciples in their homes and everyday lives. The loss of central meetings and in person small groups has intensified the need to ensure church members are trained and enabled to follow rhythms and practices that lead to growth in discipleship without the need to go to an event, group or gathering. The development of ‘Closed on Sunday’, later renamed ‘The Weekly Service’ focussed on engagement in the home and through Little Churches. Our Youth and Kids Team have also sought to develop material that enables discipleship as families and is not segregated across ages.

An ongoing priority is the need to develop tools that promote rhythms and practices that lead to a growth in discipleship. This work, initially slated for 2020, will continue in 2021.

Whilst Little Churches remain the key vehicle for discipleship, mission and pastoral care the staff and leadership team began a process of calling and speaking with every household in the church. This work, ongoing at the time of writing, is proving to be fruitful in creating connections, building support and hearing concerns.

Little Churches - functional and missional

Little Church remains the core vehicle for the delivery of the parish strategy. During COVID-19 priority has been given to enabling Little Churches to meet around centrally produced material and engage with the wider community through mission and social action.

Little Church leadership teams and the Little Church leaders have continued to meet with the clergy over Zoom. A strategy for how the church meets as Little Church under various restrictions has been drawn up to enable Little Churches to gather together online and, where appropriate, physically.

In the past year a number of Little Churches have refined their leadership teams and refocused their acts of service in the light of COVID-19. For example, Fairground Little Church changed leadership team and has adopted a strategy focussed around the provision of a community food pantry supporting Soul Food, Boxes of Hope and other activities.

COVID-19 has highlighted a strength of the parish’s Little Church model. Belonging to a smaller community has enabled a high degree of pastoral care under COVID-19 restrictions.

Support Team - resourced for the COVID era

As an organisation we have experienced a high degree of change in 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Whilst it might be the case that some of this change is temporary whilst we are under COVID restrictions there is a growing awareness that many of these changes will remain and that COVID has hastened some changes that were already being experienced in culture and the church. The parish leadership has recognised the need to respond to these changes and ensure that moving forward the church is resourced appropriately for the coming years. The two key areas are in operations and communications. In order to fully release Little Churches into mission and discipleship we need to ensure they are well supported by administrative functions. In addition, the removal of a central gathering on Sunday mornings has highlighted the need for more effective communications.

In Autumn 2020 the parish PCC approved the reorganisation of the Operations Team with the appointment of Matti Shannon as Operations Manager and the creation of an additional Administrator role. From Spring 2021 the parish will seek to employ a Communications Manager to oversee the development and implementation of a new communications strategy.

Bullet Proof Processes

Initial operational work from Spring 2020 concentrated on supporting the development of the new material for Little Church worship and discipleship. As restrictions eased in the summer of 2020 the Operations Team focussed on preparing the parish buildings for partial reopening for community and parish events. All risk assessments were revised, updated and approved by the PCC.

A refresh of the Parish GDPR policy was implemented in line with the development of a new communications strategy. Much of this work was concentrated on the use of social media messaging channels (WhatsApp) and ensuring that processes are correct and GDPR compliant.

The PCC has begun a review of its processes that cover key areas of responsibilities:

Governance & Anglican Liaisons

Finance

Safeguarding

Building Strategy and Buildings

Human Resources

Operations

Finance Review

The 2020 Parish Accounts reflect the complications of COVID-19 restrictions. Over recent years the parish has relied less upon hall lettings for revenue, however, this still remains a core income line for the parish. In 2020 there was a significant reduction in hall lets income due to restrictions and lockdowns. This was combined with increased costs in order to ensure our spaces met COVID safety standards.

In addition, the ongoing uncertainty regarding the timing of the sale of The Church of The Good Shepherd site continued to impact upon the setting of PCC budgets. Planned Giving through standing orders remained strong in 2020.

The total income for 2020 was £438k. This was a reduction of £90k from 2019 income of £528k. Unrestricted income (i.e. that which is not given to a specific project) decreased by £42k from £370k following a 60% drop in hall let income of £52k to £36k. This was partially offset by a gracious increase in planned giving of £22k, an increase of 10% in 2020. The finance team recalculated the budget across 2020 to reflect the changing situations regarding income under COVID with reductions made across the majority of cost areas, most notably salaries and Parish Share and the running of the buildings where this was possible.

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves within unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure, excluding parish share. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to cover payments and requirements and consider that a level of three months is sufficient due to the nature of expenditure. The balance held as unrestricted funds as at 31 December 2020 was £137,556. The reserve policy requires a level of £50,000. The current level of reserves includes funds set aside to cover deficit budgets for 24 months to allow for growth in the church and required building costs. Therefore, the level of unrestricted funds is considered appropriate due to the possible forecast position of 2021. Should this not be required to cover this loss we will utilise the funds against kingdom building programmes.

Structure: Governance & Management

The PCC is the body with the responsibility for setting the strategic direction of the parish. The members of the PCC consider the clergy to be the key management personnel. All PCC members give of their time freely and no trustee received remuneration for the role of being a Trustee. Please see the related party note for further details. New trustees receive an induction, including an outline of the role of the PCC in the life of the church and associated responsibilities.

The roles of the PCC, its sub-committees, the clergy and wardens are consistent with those set out in Canon Law and other relevant documents.

PCC members are recruited for three-year terms (except in the case of replacing people mid-term) on a rotating basis and are elected annually at the APCM.

The PCC is served by the staff team led by the clergy. This team is both paid and unpaid. The staff team takes responsibility for the day to day running of the parish.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & 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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

PARISH OF BISHOPSTON AND ST ANDREWS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31[st] December 2020

Note 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The accounts 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention modified by the revaluation of investments. The PCC constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, despite the significant uncertainty being caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst the Trustees expect there to be a significant impact on the charity’s operations and reserves in the coming months and years, the charity has sufficient reserves to be able to meet these challenges.

Income

All income is recognised when the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Collections, gift aid and planned giving received are recognised when received.

Income Tax recoverable on donations under gift aid is recognised when the income is recognised and allocated to the fund appropriate to the original donation. Grants and legacies are accounted for when notification is received of the PCC’s entitlement and the amount due. Funds raised by social events are accounted for gross.

Dividends and interest are all received without the deduction of tax, and are accounted for when received.

Fees and rental income are recognised when due and are accounted for gross.

Realised gains or losses on investments are recognised when the sale takes place. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December. Investments are valued at market value at 31 December each year.

Expenditure

Donations are accounted for when they can be quantified and the PCC has approved the donation. Expenditure is accounted for when payable. Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the church and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory matters.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated land and buildings and moveable Church furnishings

Consecrated and benefice property is excluded from the accounts, as required by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

No value is placed on moveable Church furnishings which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure on such property is written off as incurred.

Other land and buildings

The St Michael’s Church Centre is valued by the PCC at historic cost.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or re-valued amount less estimated residual value of fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated life, as follows: Freehold buildings 5 - 50 years Fixtures and fittings 7 years. De Minimus: Fixed Assets under £3,000 are not capitalised. No depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition.

Investments

Investments comprise a holding in the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) unit trust and are valued at market rate at 31 December. Any gains or losses on investments are included in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at transaction price, less any impairment. Accrued income is recognised when the rights to the income are held. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Creditors

Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are recognised when there is a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that it will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
