Parochial Church Council ofSI Apthew's. Congresbury Annual Reporl andAccoun15 2020 VICAR'S REPORT ON FINANCES: Following the Trustees Report of 2019, the year to end of 2020 was marked by nine months of the pandemic of Covid-19 virus (March 2020 onwards). Like many organisations and charities over this time period the lockdowns and general level of restriction and public anxiety has had a significant impact on our financial trading situation, details of which are given below. Saying that, in varying forms we continued to operate as a Church throughout. In terms of holding a Sunday SeNice each week, sometimes online only from such places as the Dining Room of the Vicarage to eventually offering a number of services -hybrid- (on-site in Church physically as well as on-line using technology) and, as yet, we have not missed a Sunday since the pandemic began. Particular mention should also be given to all those who have done so much for both other Church members and for those in the wider communty during this time where there has been substantial need. Although beyond the normal parameters of this report in terms of ti not having significant financial implication, it should not go unmentioned that there is a huge debt of gratttude owed to all those who worked continuously throughout this most unusual of times offering the vitally important practical support and care so much needed. Thank you. On a financial level, areas that were impacted signtficantly during the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic which began in March 2020 are as follows.. Overall finanS raised by regular giving from donors dropped considerably. This was due to the significant number of donations made prior to the pandemic made by those who PLrt 'money on the plate, or who used the 'envelope scheme, _ popular as it is amongst older members of the Church. Both these channels of raising finance could not be utilised during nine out of the elve months of this accountable year atthough attempts by the Treasurer and others to encourage people to transfer their regular giving to standing order, etc. did help offset this somewhat. The major financial outgoing of any Anglican Church is the amount paid throughout the year to the Diocese to cover salartes of clergy plus other costs. For the year 2020 this figure was set by the Diocese of Bath and Wells for St Andrews to be in the order of £66,786. With the pandemic the Diocese offered tts own scheme of financial support to churches throughout the Diocese where those churches that were struggling to meet their MmitmentS could apply for something called "Parish Share Relief." Due to the financial situation at St Andrew's, ana lis lack of any substantial reserves, the Diocese awar(Jed St Andrew's £12.892 in relief and thus reduced the amount owed to the Diocese by the local Church for the year from £66.786 to £53.894- a saving of almost of 20 % and for which the local Church and the PCC are very grateful. both to the Diocese as a whole and to the Diocesan Finan Team who administered it. However, even with this reduced target of £53,894, we found that as a local ChurGh communTty we were only able to Gontribute £39,011 duiin9 thc ycar 2020, significantly down on previous years due in the main to the impact of Covid-19 Page 2
Parochial Church Council ofStAndTew's, Congresbury Annual Reporf andAccounfs 2020 but also due to longstanding members passing away or moving on. This left a shortfall in the amount owed to the DI0Se for the year to the tune of £14,973 (creating our first long-tenn debtor) - this we have agr&d to pay back to the DI0Se over a four-year period. in addition to meeting our regular set monthly Diocese Gontribution in the future. From a TfUStees' point of view, V need to make sure that we monff(or the finances carefully for the coming years especially given this long-temi additional payment from St Andrews to the Di0Se to clear the arrears. Vine Counselling, who are an independent major user of the Refectory building, which is owned by the PCC, were also unable to meet physically during the time of the pandemic. and therefore the Church not receive one of its key forms of regular income to help offset the costs of running the Refectory during this year, such as insurance, upkeep, etc. Although, on a more posff(ive note, some of the costs of utilities for the Rectory. such as electricity, etc. were also therefore reduced as an expenditure. The production of the Parish Magazine, called Viewpoint,. which is an important channel of physical paper communication wbth the wider Church as well as the wider community was suspended during the pandemic because of the inability to deliver physically door to door. This reduced considerably the cost of using the photocopier and paper, etc. but it also meant a loss of advertising income that is used to help offset costs. A review of the way forward for Viewpoint needs to be undertaken and discussed by the PCC On we can produ physical copies again. As part of our commitment to enable the worship I"rfe of as many as possible during this time v. Together with our sister parish of St Andrew's. Banwell committed to provide what is known as currently as "hybrid. services, services 'on-line' using livestream as well as 'on-site' (physically in the building, which has previously been the accepted approach for a Church such as ours). This has increased our reach into a wider communty and has enabled existing members. and new, to be able to take part in worship both 'live' at the time of worship, or to 'catch up, later throughout the week at a time that better enables them to 'take time with God. by belonging to a local Church community. As part of this approach, St Andrew's Congresbury had to review and renew parts of tts sound system, in order to make such an online livestream provision possible. The cost of this was kept to approximatety £850 and was a one-off capital expense thanks to the volunteer help and advi of a parishioner. Much of this cost was met by restricted member donations. Finally, during the year we receive(l a small grant Trom Nonh Somerset Council {£300) payable to °Love Congresbury. (our communty outreach ami of the PCC) to help contribute towards the cost of fuel, etc. to those delivering food, medicines, etc. during the pandemic. In addition to the items above which have impacted the lrfe of the Church and its finances due to the Covid-19 pandemic, four other items need mentioning that Page 3
Parochial Church Council ofSIAndrew's, Congresbury Annual Reporl andAccounls 2020 were more attributable to the wider lrfe of society and the Church outside of the 'bubble' that has been the impact of the pandemic. These are: In order to bring the exploratory venture of what became known as °The St Congarfs Community Co-housing Project" to a close St Andrew's loaned a further £5,350 to the Project. As part of the exploration phase of the project, the Diocese had requested that the legal basis for such a Project be assessed and tested to make sure that it could be legally as well as physically achieved. A specialist firm of solicitors were engaged who dealt with other'co-housing, legalities. In preparation for their report they undertook extensive work, which had not been requested by ourselves leading to a sizeable invoice (far in eXs$ of the figure above). This resulted in a fairly long running conversation wtth the firm of solicitors in order to resolve the issue. The majority of the figure indicated above (approximately £5,000) was to bring this matter to a close. The rest was to help cover outstanding monies owed for a bat survey. As at this time, the Co-housing Project, although theoretically still feasible, looks too hhlY speculative in order to proceed rtainlY at this time. The Project of replacing the Chan1 chair seating was completed during the year. This had become necessary because of health and safety issue following the collapse of a number of previous chairs. Thirty-two new chairs. which needed to be of a type approved by the Diocese, were purchased, and the one-off capital cost of the chairs will be depreciated over a four-year term as per PCC policy. Unfortunately, during the year, we need to rOrd that, following a break in, a number of the much-loved Nativity Crib characters were stolen. The Crib Sne is a highlight for both the Church and village each Christmas as these characters are approximatety 24. tall and the whole Sne approximately 8, x 6,. Following a plea for their return on Radio Bristol. a local arbsurestorer kindly offered to repair any retumed characters. Sadly, none were forthcoming. however, the 8rtisUrestorer, with the aid of remaining characters and photographs of the scene, was able to then recreate replicas of the lost characters, and she did so at no cost to the Church, and simply cost of materials to the Church insurers. A remarkable kindness in what was a moment of great sadness. Finally, only minimal repairs to the fabric of the Church have been carried out this year in part because the Church building has physicalW had limited access apart from times of necessty. During the year Mr David Heggie, who had been our Treasurer stood down as he and his family felt called to worship at a neighbouring Church and Mrs Beth AshTon-Hllton, wno naa previously been or Treasurer very kindly was willing to take on the role again as part of a small finance team with Mr Bob Mitchell the Treasurer of St Andrew's, Banwell. Together they have worked tirelessly on the accoLsnts of both the local Church (the remit of this report) and on its part within the New Creation group of Churches. which covers salary costs for staff. etc. It is difficult to put into words the debt of gratttude all Treasurers are owed each year for their hard work, dedication, prayer, and care, but for various reasons Beth this year naa to not only PICK up the role again. she also needed to do a lot of Page 4
Parochial Church Council ofStAndrew's, Congresbury Annual Report apklAccounts 2020 additional work in order to bring the accounts into a reasonable state of affairs and for this the whole Church and the PCC are incredibty gratefiJl. We are very grateful to Mr David Seabright for On again being our Independent Examiner and for all his constructive advi. This year as a Church and as a Chartty has been almost wf(hout precedent. As at the time of writing, it is still somewhat unclear to know what the long-term implications of the pandemic are likely to be. positively and negatively, and financially. Over the coming months a fuller assessment and understanding of these implications needs to be made and a new way foThvard for the continued faithfulness and growth of the Church needs to be found. What we do know at this stage is that how things may look in the future is likely to be somewhat different to the past but we trust ourselves to the same nature and character of God and in His purpose of sharing His love in each and every generation in the belief that He seeks always to bring hope and new possibilty out of adversity. In this time, as the pandemic is beginning to be managed, in great part due to the vaccination process, we are very mindful how the last eighteen months has affected so many in so many dtfferent ways, our thoughts and our prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, those whose lives have been changed out of all rec(KJnition, and those who continue to struggle each and every day.
