## **Trustees ’ Annual Report** 

## **Charitable objects** 

The objects of the Charity are: promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church. 

## **Our vision** 

## **To be Christ�s Church in the community** 

**Our mission:** By proclaiming Christ through teaching and example: 

- By welcoming and serving all through hospitality. 

- By encouraging people to find God through worship, faith, and prayer. 

- By providing a spiritual home and resources for the local community. 

- B� ������������ S������ ��� ������ ���� G���� ���� ��� ����������� 

We will do this with humility, grace, and respect, listening prayerfully to God and our neighbours. 

## **Trustees ’ Review of 2021** 

## _**How did we meet our goals for 2021?**_ 

Our Bible verse for 2021, 1 Peter 1,3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 

This Bible verse reminded us continually, through the uncertainty of the Covid 19 pandemic, that we are here to proclaim the Christian faith, support people in all circumstances in life, and to share the living hope we have in Jesus Christ. 

## _**People Matter and Outreach**_ 

We have worked very hard on keeping people safe so that activities could continue as much as possible in C����� C������ S� M����� ��� ��� C�������� C������ �� ���� ��������� ������ ���� ����� anxieties and welcomed an encouraging number of newcomers to our Christian community. 

- We ran the Wellbeing Journey for 13 people. 

- Provided facilitated training for 16 people in Mindfulness. 

- We joined The Pattern Church in providing an online virtual Alpha for 8 people as a follow up to our Partnership Confirmation. 

- We deepened our welcome with increased support on Sundays and through our Keeping in Touch (KIT) pastoral support scheme which kept us in relationship with 120+ people. 

- T�� M���� B�������� ��������� �� ��� A����� . 

- Home Groups have met regularly. 

- A Parish Pilgrimage to Iona for 8 people took place in September.

With our Old Town Partnership, we raised £8,300 for the school in Desai, Kenya. This was in partnership with Rotary in Swindon so will benefit from matching grants which will take our gifts together to approx. £22,000. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 and the shortage of available volunteers our Partnership Messy Church has not yet restarted. We are concerned that while we have restarted Sunday Club once a month, we are seeing less of our children and young families. We have continued our ministry of encouragement and spiritual support for our local schools who also enjoy their visits to Christ Church. 

We held two Quiet Retreat days for groups of 10, reflecting �� G���� �������� �� ��� challenge of suffering and Covid-19 and using our Christian imagination. The Revd Mark S�������� placement in October was very encouraging in this area through his preaching and leading our Quiet Day. 

While we have been encouraged, we remain concerned that about the one quarter of our membership have not yet returned to public worship since Covid began in March 2020. 

## _**Community Centre Activities**_ 

With lockdown, the community centre was not able to be open for all its usual users. This meant that we found new customers in support groups. As a community centre this was a good opportunity to help groups that offer vital services to our community. The new groups include Shine PND (post-natal depression), Alcoholics Anonymous, and the Swindon Carers Centre. Our afternoon tea group reopened and has particularly offered support for dementia sufferers. 

We also ran our annual beer festival for the first time in a couple of years. While it had a reduced capacity due to Covid-19, we were able to provide an amazing fundraising event for the church and community. 

## _**Eco church**_ 

We are very grateful to Phil Mansfield, Daniel Pitt, Stephen Grosvenor and Ian Handy for all their help alongside the Staff team and PCC in progressing this; we have successfully achieved the A R���� UK�� E�� Church bronze accreditation. Our plan is to reach the silver accreditation. We are well on the way but need to manage our grounds and burial areas in an ecologically sustainable way. 

## _**Forward Focus and Transformation**_ 

We have supported our Bristol Diocese in the groundwork for Transforming Church Together particularly with webinars and the plan to reach net zero for Carbon emissions by 2030 having declared a climate emergency as a Diocese in November 2019. 

We have taken part to a limited extent with _Living in Love and Faith_ with a few people taking part in webinars and the 5-session course. 

Page **4** of **27** 



We have gradually developed our worship pattern with a new _Christ in Quiet_ service on Wednesday morning at 10.30am, an 8am Holy Communion service from Advent Sunday onwards and evening worship twice a month. We are grateful to the choir and music group for all their support and adaptability. 

The Community Centre has had a positive year. Our _Alone at Christmas_ initiative meant that 157 people received the gift of a Christmas hamper which was very much appreciated. 

The Friends of Christ Church have been a considerable support as always. The Christmas Market with 30 charities involved raised over £4000 in November. The Friends also made a number of donations to enable works in the former Rose Garden and some repair works in the church. 

While we continue to encourage new vocations, it is a constant challenge to grow new leaders. 

We were delighted to elect Nitin Shinde as the first Asian Church Warden at Christ Church which is part of our vision to be a church for all nations. Also, to form a new verging team with assistant Alex Davies joining our verger, Sandie Rule. 

Easter, Pentecost, Harvest and Advent and Christmas were special times of community celebration from which we had many encouraging comments. 

Once again, Simon accepted the invitation to become Chaplain to the Mayor Councillor Gary Perkins. Simon also entered his 30[th] year as a Football Club Chaplain encouraging renewal and new life in our wider community. 

## _**The Rose Garden**_ 

A lot of time has been put into renewing the church grounds especially around the former Rose Garden. Many appreciative comments have been received from the wider community as a result of the renewal work and our careful communication. 

## **What are our goals for 2022?** 

Isaiah 60 verse 1 is our parish Bible verse for this year Arise, shine; for your light has come, ��� ��� ����� �� ����L������� ����� ���� ���� 

## _**Presenting the Christian faith**_ 

With this faith and expectation, wherever possible, we will present the Christian faith joyfully, passionately, and humbly, to all the people we meet. We will do this in a whole variety of ways both traditionally, but also boldly, creatively, and imaginatively, particularly through our worship, teaching, and small groups. 

Page **5** of **27** 



As a learning community, we pray and plan that we will grow in number, faith, commitment, and in the impact, we have on our Swindon community. 

We continue to develop our online offerings and resources with an enhanced social media presence. We plan to grow our Facebook and Twitter following (currently 1,195 and 487 people respectively) to increase an awareness of our presence in the community. 

We have 73 subscribers to our You Tube channel where we stream our weekly services. 

We look forward to updating our audio-visual facilities both at Christ C����� ��� S� M����� as a result of a generous gift from The Kingshill Trust for which we are incredibly grateful. 

We are planning a congregational weekend at home from 15[th] -17th September. The purpose of this will be having fun together sharing activities and meals. 

We plan to restart Messy Church with our Old Town Partnership colleagues to increase our support for young families. We look forward to welcoming Rachel Collins as our new Methodist Probationer Minister at Bath Road in August when Mark Barrett retires after 13 years as our Methodist Minister colleague. 

## _**Growing new leaders and succession planning**_ 

We are enormously grateful to Caroline Pitt for her 7 years of service as Chair of the Friends of Christ Church. She will be retiring �� ��� F������� AGM in May 2023. 

We are equally grateful to Andrew Yeoward who is planning to retire as our PCC Treasurer after five ������ service after the APCM in 2023. 

We will pray and look earnestly for the right people to fill these roles in addition to seeking a new PCC secretary. We continue to be blessed by having Ailsa Palmer filling in as our PCC minute Secretary, now for three years, since the death of our dear friend Peter Ford. 

We will continue to encourage the growth and sharing of spiritual and practical gifts within our gifted Christian community in the service of God. 

We are encouraged by those in the congregation testing their Christian vocation to both ordained and lay ministry. We pray and expect this to continue over this coming year. 

## _**Transforming Church together**_ 

We look forward to supporting our Bristol Diocese in the development of our next strategic plan to encourage growth in all areas of our Christian mission and ministry. 

Page **6** of **27** 



We will endeavour to complete the actions resulting ���� ��� A����������� T�������� Inspection report which includes appointing a new Church Architect and completing sharing agreements for the other Christian churches who use our buildings. 

We plan to further develop Safeguarding policy for children and vulnerable adults, health and safety, financial management and wise governance as the vital professional golden thread running through all we do as a Christian community. 

Above all, we want to be known, even more in these challenging changing times, as the Beacon on the Hill for the quality of our love, service, and outreach, as much as for our beautiful buildings and grounds. 

May God guide us forward as partners together in mission in the power of the Spirit. We are excited to discover what He has in store for us in our continuing adventure of faith. 

## **Buildings and Grounds Report** 

2021 marked a year of consolidation. Covid continued to slow progress in all areas. The work of the buildings committee continued however with the development of our service streaming capability and the replacement of some of our IT equipment in Christ Church. At the same time, remedial works were carried out in our two properties in Cricklade Street. 

The day-to-day tasks of ensuring that all our buildings are kept in a safe and workable state continued and face to face meetings were resumed, albeit with careful social distancing. Special mention should be made of Daniel Pitt, who has continued to lead on our energy usage and negotiations with energy suppliers and who has maintained our church heating system throughout to ensure that the building is efficiently heated. 

Also, to Mike Palmer and the Friends of Christ Church whose work, behind the scenes, has ensured that our doors close correctly and our keys work. 

The former Rose Garden project continued throughout 2021 led by Ian Handy and his team, assisted by Caroline and Daniel Pitt who ensured that all the plaques in the garden were mapped and replaced once the groundworks were completed. We plan to complete phase 3 of the Rose Garden renewal work which will make a huge difference in appearance and ambiance for our many visitors. 

As the year ended, we were able to appreciate the skilled succession planting in the garden and look forward to the Spring when its full glory will be revealed.

## **Structure, management and governance:** 

## **The Trustees** 

The Trustees of Christ Church are the PCC, which has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar in promoting the work of the Church in the parish. 

The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules.  The PCC is responsible for a wide range of activities affecting the parish including, but not restricted to, compliance with statutes and legislation and the creation of suitable policies and procedures to protect those considered to be vulnerable. It is important that the PCC adopts and implements suitable training procedures to ensure that members are equipped to handle the challenges this represents. In addition to the dissemination of appropriate reading matter, the PCC actively encourages individuals to attend training courses arranged by the Diocese or Deanery and to report back to the PCC as a body. 

The PCC actively encourages members of its congregation to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

## **Risk assessment**

The PCC encouraged members of the congregation to abide by the lone working policy. The PCC agreed a policy on vulnerable adults. 

The PCC endeavours to undertake risk assessments for events it manages. 

The PCC has a child protection policy. 

The PCC has reviewed the major risks facing them and systems/procedures have been/are being established to manage those risks.

## **Financial Review** 

## **Charitable activities** 

This year, the activities of the PCC have continued to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, but with the help of government and other support the PCC has weathered the challenges well. 

The Community Centre had continued to be a large focus for our engagement with our local community. There were many regular groups that meet there including: exercise (for children and adults); dancing (for toddlers, children and adults); groups from other churches; a sewing group; a watercolour painting group; and many others. The outreach activities have resumed following the relaxation of the 2020 lockdowns, particularly helping the many lonely people in our area including the weekly afternoon tea on Tuesdays. 

We have continued with policies established in 2004, of our designated mission giving being restricted to the amount collected in the offerings on special Mission Giving Sundays.  On these weeks we have a focus on 

Page **11** of **27** 



the work of the different organisations that we support. The total mission-giving contribution in this challenging year was £3,052 including gift-aid tax recovery which was sent to support the work of Desai (through the Old Town Partnership of Churches), Swindon food collective, WaterAidUK and Swindon Mind 

Our net parish share contribution was set at £95,000 at the beginning of the year. This contribution level was based on � ���������� ����������� �� ��������� ������ �� ���� ����� ��� �������� ������ ��������� However, during the year it was recognised that the PCC finances were sufficiently robust to support a further increase to a total Parish Share of £105,006. 

As a consequence of this, the budgeted parish share contribution for 2022 was also set at £105,000. 

�� ���� ��������� ��� �� ��� ������������ J�� R�������� S����� �JRS�� ���� ��� ���� ��������� ������ employers plus the Director of Music and the parish administrator being put on flexible furlough through to its termination in September 2021. This enabled us to move forward with some degree of confidence at a highly uncertain time and retain the services of all our employees at 100% salary levels. 

## **Fund-raising** 

Some of the usual fundraising activities including the beer festival were reinstated this year, contributing significantly to our funds. 

## **Endowment and Restricted Funds** 

There have been no changes in the endowment fund this year except for increases in the value of invested funds. 

A���� ���� ��� ������������ J�� R�������� S������ �� ���� ��������� �� ������� ����������� ������ ��� donations. These included £30,000 from the Lottery Fund to be used in the first six months of the year on the operation and maintenance of the Community Centre. This was credited to the Community Centre Restricted Fund. It was spent on salaries, energy, insurance and other running costs. These costs overran the funds available in the Restricted fund, so an end of year transfer was made from the Community Centre Designated Fund to credit the Restricted Fund. 

## **Church Reordering/Development and Renewal Projects** 

There were generous donations towards the continuation of the development and renewal of the churches and grounds. In particular £4,366 was received in donations towards the refurbishment of the Rose Garden. This did not however cover the cost of all the works, and the balance was underwritten by an anonymous, but generous, donor. Donations and grants were also received to support the development of our audiovisual capabilities, including £7,000 from the Kingshill Trust, and £550 from a generous private donor. These credits and consequent expenses were attributed to the Property/Maintenance and Development & Renewal restricted funds 

## _**Income**_ 

Total receipts of unrestricted funds were £258,000 in 2021, up from £236,000 in 2020. This is partly explained by the relaxation of coronavirus lockdown.  In addition, receipts for restricted funds, including Property & Maintenance and Organ funds, was £45,870, up from £4,165 in 2020, being significantly boosted by the £30,000 lottery grant. Legacies totalling £1,100 were received in 2021

The °donation income. {see note 2a In the accounts below) was significantly hi8her than last year, Thank

£20.OCrf) morethan in 2020. Other reduced costs included church maintenance costs and lower development
and renewal costs.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policyto maintain (whenever possible) sU￿ltient general fund5. equating to four months of 'normar
turnover, in order to cover unplanned Situations that may occur from time to time. This is measured as one
third of the budgeted income for the year. The General Fund Income Budget for 2021 is £167,760 so four
months of this V￿uld equate to £55,920.
The total funds held at 31 DeCeM￿r 2021 were £1.126,210. of which £1,069.003 was held in Unrestricted
Funds (see Note 6 In the accounts below). However, £641,688 of that is tied up in the TarEible Assets (l.e.
the Community Centrel {Notes 5a & 61, £292,260 in investments (Note 61. and £41.139 is in designated funds
for the on8oing running of the Community Centre. and other debtors. £10,669 is also in the Development &
Renewal and Property & Maintenance funds. This leaves a reserveof E83,267 which is£27,OLKI over the 2022
rese￿e5 target. We will continue to monitor this situation during the year.
In 2019, it was decided to set a reserves policy of E40,OLX) for the community centre fund& This dropped
below that figure in 2020. but the fund is currently at £40.265, ab(yrfe the policy figure.
It is our Current policy to invest surplus funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF CHRIST CHURCH WITH ST MARY'S, OLD TOWN SWINDON** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2021** 

**1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

The financial statements of the charity have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. The fi�a�cial ��a�e�e��� ha�e bee� ��e�a�ed �� gi�e a ����e a�d fai�� �ie� a�d ha�e de�a��ed f��� �he Cha�i�ie� (Acc����� a�d Re�����) Reg�la�i��� 2008 ��l� �� �he e��e�� �e��i�ed �� ����ide a ����e a�d fai� �ie��. Thi� departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

There are no significant areas of judgements  or key sources of estimation uncertainty.

Legal Status 

The charity is an unincorporated charitable trust constituted by trust deed.

FUNDS Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The Revaluation reserve consists of surpluses arising on the revaluation of properties. This fund may only be used on the sale of the properties, by release to unrestricted funds. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of charitable groups that owe their affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.

INCOME RECOGNITION<br>All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt<br>and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured<br>reliably.<br>For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of:<br>* the date on which the charity is aware that probate has been granted;<br>* the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution<br>will be made; or<br>* when a distribution is received from the estate.<br>Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably<br>a�d �he cha�i�� ha� bee� ���ified �f �he e�ec������ i��e��i�� �� �ake a di���ib��i��. Whe�e legacie� ha�e bee�<br>notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition<br>have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.<br>Fundraising is Funds raised by the Autumn Fayre and similar events and are accounted for gross.<br>Dividends and investments are accounted for when receivable except for Bank interest when unpaid interest is<br>accrued. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.<br>Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any<br>performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be<br>measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.<br>Gains and losses on investments<br>Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold.<br>Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31st December.<br>EXPENDITURE RECOGNITION<br>Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the<br>charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be<br>measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs<br>and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the<br>statement of financial activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was<br>incurred.<br>Grants<br>Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding<br>obligation on the PCC.<br>Activities directly relating to the work of the Church<br>The Diocesan parish share is accounted for when payable. Any share unpaid at 31st December is provided for in<br>these accounts as an optional (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.<br>Tangible fixed assets<br>Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.<br>Community centre building 50 years on straight line basis<br>Fixtures, fittings and equipment 5 years on straight line basis<br>Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>

## **Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings** 

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. 

No value is placed on movable Church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust from the PCC and which requires a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditures incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off in expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## Investment properties 

Investment properties are held at cost as a professional valuation would incur significant costs which would be onerous compared with the additional benefit gained by the user of the accounts. 

## Investments 

Investments are valued at market value at 31st December. 

## Debtors 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provisions for amounts that may prove uncollectable. 

## Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## Creditors and Provisions 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## Pensions 

E��l��ee� �f �he cha�i�� a�e e��i�led �� j�i� a defi�ed c����ib��i�� ����e� ���cha�e� �che�e �a�aged b� NEST. The Ch��ch�� c����ib��i�� i� �e���ic�ed �� �he c����ib��i��� di�cl��ed i� ���e 4. The�e �e�e �� �����a�di�g contributions at the year end. 

## Financial instruments 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
