Vision Our Vision statement- "A church thal reaches every corner of Hampton with the Love of Jesus and the Power ofthe Holy Spirit. In order to achieve this vision, we are will be, in accordance with the creeds- a holy, catholic and aposlolic church: A holy church.. All for Jesus Invest in our building and equipment so St Mary's can be a witness to Jesus in future generations. Value Ihe different expressions of worship highly Evolve and invest in Home Groups A catholic church.. Part of the wider family of Jesus Partner wilh Sao Paulo's church in Mandimba Mozambique Serve local churches with time and support Invest and support in a borough wide Schools work program An apostolic church.. Passing on our faith Have a programme of regular Alpha Courses Tell every child in Hampton about Jesus Christ every year Be rooted and involved in the local community Page3of7 Objectives and Activities When planning our activities for the year. we have considered the Charity Commission's Guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance for charities for the advancement of religion. The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17{51 of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission. In addition. We have Four Sunday services lo meet a variety of worship styles. Morning Prayer online during the week. Mid-week communion service with lunch. Oasis loddlers and carers group Nine Home Groups Childrens Work- we appointed a new Childrens and Families Pastor at the start of the year. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, she resigned at Easter. Since then, the volunteers and ministerial team who led the sessions have continued to deliver children's work supported by our Ordinand. Youth Work - Our Youth Pastor resigned mid-way through the year and we have been unable lo recruit a replacemenl, due to amongsl other things, the cost of living in the Hampton area. Volunteers have continued to lead the sessions at our 11am service with support from the Vicar and Ordinand. These have been well attended and Ihe younger people have been taking a move active roll during some of our services. This includes playing in the worship band, leading prayers as well as being part of the Welcome team. We have run a number of social activities. The inability to recruil Children's and Youlh Paslors has led to a rethink of how we resource these areas of ministry within our church. We are still disceming this and hope to have something in place by the end of 2024. Music - Music plays an important part in our Worship, both traditional and contemporary. We employ an Organist & Choir Director as well as a Worship and Prayer Pastor. The SATB Choir takes the lead al our Sunday 9.30, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Ascension and In Loving Memory seNices. It has increased in number and new members are always welcome. Our Worship Band take the lead at our 11am & 4pm services. As with the choir, new members have joined and are growing in their discipleship. Younger members of the church have been encouraged to be part of the Worship Band and we have held a number of sessions to develop them in this minislry. We are indebted lo a number of musicians who cover our mid-week and Evensong services. The Church building and associated Facilities are ably looked after by an enthusiastic team led by our Facilities Manager, Kel Razza. As well as the enormous effort that goes into maintaining the church building, hall and grounds. Over the past year much work has taken place including.. complete clean of the organ, installation of fibre optic broadband lo secure the streaming of services, construclion of new storage cupboards in Ihe hall, the start of a series of works to repaint and restore the church doors starting with the West Door and North Porch Door. and an upgrade to some of the electrical systems in the church. After a shortlisling and interview process the Sarah Earney was appointed as the church's Inspecting Architect and has conducted her first QI inspection of the church. Monthly Garden work party fellowship - This continues lo flourish with new planling and has become a good time to socialise outside usual services. Let's Get Together - is a social group that meets in the church on the first and third Tuesday of every month from 2pm to 4pm lo chat, play various board games and have fun. Page4of7 Refreshments are provided. At the moment we have a dedicated number coming and it has proved difficult to attract new people. Care Home Services - following the Pandemic we have restarted our monthly services to the two care homes in our Parish, Hampton Care & St Marys House. These Holy Communion services are well received and we were invited back to sing carols at Christmas. Home Groups - We have nine home groups that meet fortnightly, these vary from in person, zoom & hybrid part in person & part zoom. Over 80 people participate following the Sunday sermon series. Bell Ringing - Teaching of new bell ringers has started again after the pandemic and we are pleased to have a number of interested people. It is hoped lo close the fundraising for the refurbishment of the bells by the end of 2023 wilh a contract for Ihe work placed during 2024. Regular ringing continues on Sundays as well as for weddings and other festivals. New Wine - A small group of parishioners attended the New Wine United .23. We have been looking io grow Ihis lo being a church wide event. Schools SeNices - We delivered HaNest Services both in local schools and hosted HaNest Festivals in the church. We welcomed over 2,500 into our church for school Christmas Carol serVi￿S. We continued to upskill our volunteers to assist with running seNices and activities at St Mary's. As always, our thanks go lo all those who serve at St Mary's in all areas of ministry and outreach. In furtherance of its aims the PCC endeavours lo make donations to outside bodies totalling 10 /0 of its income. The recipients are selected by the Mission Giving Team and recommended to the full PCC which makes the final decision. Achievements and Performance Church Attendance The number on Ihe Church Electoral Roll as reported to the Annual Meeting in April 2023 was 213 ofwhom 137 live outside the parish. Across the four Sunday services we would normally see be￿een 150-180 people. We do have a significant number who watch our online ServI￿S both live and on catch-up. Particular Achievements Our link with St Paulo's church in Mandimba, Mozambique continued to grow Good Seeds, lour funding of village children's education}, continues lo do well with the number of children we support conlinuing io rise. Former members of Good Seeds are now being helped with further professional training. This year we visited for the first time since the Pandemic. The trip was very beneficial and rewarding to those who went and deepen our ties with the congregation there. Harvest Hog Roasl Garden Party for the Coronation Traditional Lessons and Carols SeNice & a Contemporary Carol Service Page5of7 Finance Review for the Trustees Annual Report for 2023 Finance Review 2023 1. General Fund (note 12{a)) (This fund is for the day to day running of the Church) Unfortunately this fund showed a deficit £15.gK after showing a surplus in 2022. The main reason for this was a drop of £14.6K in giving and this was exa￿rbated by a drop of £10.7K from Ihe Hall account due to the cost of building new cupboards. This latter reason is a one- off but the drop in giving is a cause for concern. Despite general cost increases expenditure was down by nearly £7K mainly because of a decrease in the amount spent on salaries. 2. Bells Appeal Fund It is pleasing to note that £7K was raised for the Bells during the year to reach a total in the fund of £23K. Even with two likely grants totalling of £40K there is still quite some way to go. 3. Mandimba Fund This fund is used to promote our engagement with the church of Sao Paulo in Mandimba, Mozambique. An important part of the scheme is the Good Seeds programme which provides funds lo help with schooling and in 2023 £6.4K was spenl on this project. Another featLJre this year was the visit of three emissaries from the Church to Mandimba which is regarded as an important part of our partnership. The visit cost £9.5K of which £5.9K was financed by direct donations and the rest from money set aside by the PCC. 4. "PCC Funds" The PCC adds any unreslricted legacies to Ihis Fund as well as transferring into the Fund. money designaled for particular purposes. The major work this year was the cleaning of the organ. This cost £59.3K ofwhich £7.6K was raised from donations and Goncerts, a grant of £9.9K came from the Listed Places of Worship Scheme and the rest came from reserves. £6.8K was spent on helping with the housing costs for our Ordinand lo make up the shortfall in the grant from the Diocese. 5. Total Assets In the light of Ihe above remarks it will come as no surprise thal the total assets of the PCC fell by £62.5K during the year. 6. Resep4es The PCC'S policy on free cash reserves is thal this should amount to six months of general expenditure except for Common Fund contributions. This amounts to £43K and is easily covered by the £133K free cash reserves which the PCC held at the end of the year. Page6of7 ## **Plans for 2024** - To continue to provide further opportunities to develop Mission and Evangelism - through small groups and a weekly sermon series on Sundays. - Continue to foster younger and new preachers. - To expand the choir & create opportunities for young members to join. - To develop a new Pastoral Care Team. - To run Alpha, marriage, parenting & prayer courses. - Continue to organise a wide variety of events for the St Mary’s Church family and beyond. - Refurbish Vestries to enable the church to be open more regularly. - Restore South Porch - A Churches together Songs of Praise worship event - A Churches together Walk of Witness on Good Friday - Summer Walks - Develop Men’s and Women’s Ministry and a wider social life of the church.

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, together with FRS102 (2019) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2019 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets and gifts in kind which are shown at fair 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 groups such as St Mary’s Drama Group and Hampton Bell Ringers which are not controlled by the PCC. ## **INCOMING RESOURCES** ## **Recognition of income and endowments** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 1. the PCC becomes legally entitled to the use of the resources; 2. and inflow of economic benefit is probable; 3. and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Fundraising costs** Funds raised from events and trading activities are reported gross in the SOFA – i.e., before any related costs that may have been deducted from the gross proceeds. ## **Grants and donations** Grants and donations are included in the SOFA when any pre-conditions preventing their use by the PCC have been met. For collections and planned giving this is when the funds are received. ## **Gift Aid, Tax claims, etc., on cash donations** Gift Aid and other tax claims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the cash donations to which they relate. ## **Gifts in kind** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their fair value at the time of gift, if feasible, or else at the amount actually realised from their disposal. Gifts in kind for sale to fund the PCC are included in the accounts at their estimated fair value at the date of gift, if feasible – or else recognised when sold by the charity. Gifts in kind for the PCC’s own use are included in the SOFA as incoming resources at their fair value when receivable, and expensed as and when consumed in use. Gifts of fixed assets, if material, are included in the balance sheet at their fair value and expensed over the asset’s useful economic life. ## **Donated services and facilities** These are included in income (and at the same time in resources expended) at the estimated fair value to the PCC of the service or facility received. ## **Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. ## **Rental income** Rental income from the letting of the church and hall is recognised when the rental is due. ## **Investment income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. ## **Investment gains and losses** This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Page 3 Annual Accounts 2023 **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY'S HAMPTON** Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 ## **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** ## **Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation and settlement is probable and quantifiable. ## **Governance costs** Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. ## **Grants payable without performance conditions** These are recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made externally and there are no pre-conditions still to be met for entitlement to the grant which remain within the control of the PCC. ## **ASSETS** ## **Consecrated and benefice property** Insofar as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of “charity” by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011, such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements. ## **Moveable church furnishings** These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost information is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but in any case all items are included in the Church’s inventory. ## **Tangible fixed assets for use by charity** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts-in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt. Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows: Land: Nil Buildings: 100 years Fixtures & Fittings: 20 years Office and Audio-Visual Equipment: 4 years ## **Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees’ best estimate of market value. ## **Trading Stocks** These are valued at the lower of cost (or gift value) or year end fair value. ## **Short term deposits** Include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank. ## **FUNDS** ## **Unrestricted Funds** These represent the income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its ‘free reserves’ as disclosed in the trustees’ report. ## **Restricted Funds** These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts.
