NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report, together with financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the current Church Accounting Regulations. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published on 16 July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016) .
Aims and purposes
Nunthorpe PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church of St. Mary the Virgin (including the Church yard and Millennium Garden); Church Lane, Nunthorpe; St. Mary’s Church Hall, Morton Carr Lane, Nunthorpe and 15 Ripon Road, Nunthorpe (the Curate’s house).
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of the parish community at St. Mary’s – both Church and Hall. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
Achievements and performance
Our aim is to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. We have two places of worship – the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Church Lane, Nunthorpe and St. Mary’s Church Hall in Morton Carr Lane.
Worship and prayer
We began 2022 with a regular pattern of morning and evening services in the Church. We also continued to meet one Sunday morning a month for worship at the Hall and Café church continued to meet at the hall on the first Sunday of the month. It was a joy to be able to begin to feel our way back towards a more normal pattern of activity and a Good Friday workshop for families was well attended.
Major events helped to bring us together during the year as the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee was celebrated with a Civic Service followed by the planting of a commemorative tree and refreshments. The Remembrance Day service also helped to bring the community together.
1
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
At the end of December 2022 there were 109 parishioners on the electoral roll of St Mary’s.
During 2022, the usual Sunday attendance was 52 adults and 4 children. These numbers are similar to those for 2021.
It was a joy to be able to have a more normal run up to Christmas than during the pandemic. The Christingle and Carol services were both well attended with a good mixture of regulars and newcomers. Revd Laura Wild lead a Scout Service in the hall which was enjoyed by those who came.
In total 174 people were able to attend the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services. The crib services, Midnight and Christmas morning services were all well attended.
Café church has seen a growth in numbers during the year. The Pilot service which ran in 2021 was no longer attracting families in sufficient numbers and so was suspended at the start of the year. Instead, we have been able to start some new initiatives including Lego Church and Muddy Church.
Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s Blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief, give thanks for the life now complete and commend the person into God’s keeping. In 2022, we celebrated 33 baptisms, one thanksgiving for the birth of a child, 15 weddings, 3 wedding blessings and 19 funerals and 9 burials of ashes .
After a challenging year, we give thanks to God for his faithfulness and for one another. In particular we are thankful for the way in which members of the church community have supported one another through good times and bad. We pray for God’s wisdom and guidance in 2023 as we recommit ourselves to being God’s people in this place and to sharing his love with others.
Deanery Synod
Two members of the PCC sit on Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
Our buildings
A Quinquennial inspection of the church was carried out in 2020; the report was positive and highlighted only minor repairs, which were carried out during 2021. The Church Hall has proved popular for bookings which have accelerated through the year, under the guidance of Liz Taylorson, our administrator.
The house in Ripon Road is home to our Curate and her family.
Pastoral care
Home communions have continued during 2022 and there has been much pastoral visiting both at home and in hospital. We are particularly grateful for the work of Revd Lisa Opala as
2
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
hospital chaplain and curate in providing a link between the parish and sick parishioners both during the time when visiting was limited and more recently.
Mission & evangelism
The SET team were once more able to hold events in 2022. The very successful Christmas and Summer Fayres were a great opportunity to meet and enjoy each other’s company as well as raising much needed resources. The 100 club and summer draw also proved successful
The Pram Service has continued to support children and families in Nunthorpe providing important opportunities for socialising and faith development.
Revd Lisa has organised several family fun afternoons which have proved so popular that a booking system had to introduced for the Christmas event. It has been wonderful to see so many families enjoying time together and making links with their local church.
Ecumenical relationships
The church is a member of Churches Together in Nunthorpe and Marton. Several events have taken place throughout the year, including a very successful prayer walk.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 2022
The following statement of financial activities for the year ended 31[st] December 2022, has been independently examined in accordance with Church Accounting Regulations 2006.
UNRESTRICTED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE
After 3 years of annual deficits, amounting in total to £25,342, the accounts have moved into a small surplus of £1,085. Given the turmoil in the national economy this is a welcome reversal and demonstrates the dedication and generosity of many parishioners. Overall income has returned to pre COVID levels, with falling income from Clubs and Rental proceeds being replaced by greater activity on Weddings and Church Hall lettings. Expenditure has reduced due to Club closures and a reduction in the Freewill Offer to the Diocese
A summary of the position for the last four years is given in Table 1:

Giving by Parishioners
Table 2 below shows total giving by parishioners over the last 8 years. It is pleasing to note that the total collected now exceeds pre-pandemic levels. Receipts from monthly Standing Orders have reduced slightly, with the number of givers declining by 3 to 57 in 2022. Giving via weekly numbered envelopes has fallen more steeply, and in 2022 was £3,774 compared with £4,170 in 2021 and £4,667 in 2020. Currently 15 parishioners contribute by this
4
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
method, compared with 35 in 2015.
Occasional ‘plate’ giving has increased significantly, rising from £2,953 in 2021 to £4,481 in 2022, reflecting the decline in COVID closures since 2021. Collections at Baptisms have also increased by £200 since last year and contributed £1,552 to Church funds. The Pram Service has contributed a welcome £527 during the year.
Gift Aid has been claimed on all eligible income and totals £10,311 for 2022

| Year | Total Giving £ |
Planned £ |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 50,823 | 32,559 |
| 2016 | 49,357 | 29,857 |

| 2021 | 53,839 | 37,477 |
| 2022 | 55,087 | 36,535 |
Wedding and Funeral Fees
Income from wedding fees has risen in 2022. There were 15 weddings and 3 blessings during the year; an increase of 6 over 2021. Funeral income remained stable. So far 11 wedding deposits have been received for 2023, which is encouraging for the future sustainability of this income stream
Social Events
Social events have once again contributed significantly to Church funds. Two successful Fayres, together with other fund raising has raised £5,820 for Church funds
Church Hall
It has been a record year for the Church Hall, with income of £17,151 received in 2022. In addition to regular users such as the Nunthorpe Players and Scouts, around 50 one-off bookings were secured during the year.
Other
This includes donations from individuals as well as furlough payments and income from product sales. An insurance payment from the break-in at the Church Hall is also included
Freewill Offer
At a PCC meeting held in May 2020 we considered our overall financial position as a result of
5
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
the COVID pandemic, and decided reluctantly to reduce our Freewill Offer to the Diocese by £10,000 to £55,000 for 2020. The same offer was made in 2021 and in 2022, although a further £1,000 was agreed by the PCC in September 2022, bringing the total 2022 to £56,000. It should be noted that during 2022 a further £7,148 has been passed to the Diocese from the receipt of wedding and funeral fees. It is the wish of the Diocesan Synod that parishes should attempt to restore their Freewill Offers to pre COVID levels in 2023; which is unlikely to be possible in our case unless substantial unforeseen income arises. It does however emphasise the need to continue to control our costs and seek additional income wherever possible.
Other expenditure
This includes all expenditure other than the Freewill Offer, including Utility and Insurance costs. The majority of our gas and electricity costs were fixed prior to the substantial increases that occurred during the last year and has therefore helped to keep these costs to a manageable level. More detail is provided in the notes to the accounts.
Conclusion
Income has remained resilient in the face of cost-of-living pressures and costs have been kept under control; notably through securing lower energy prices through advance threeyear contracts with suppliers. It has therefore been possible to increase our Freewill Offer to the Diocese by £1,000 and increase reserves by a similar sum to protect our position next year.
RESTRICTED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE
The PCC holds restricted funds which can only be used on the purposes for which they were established. The total sum held in the remaining restricted funds as at 31 December 2022 amounts to £3,167
BANK BALANCES
Our bank balances increased in the year from £55,498 in 2021 to £60,067 on 31 December 2022
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the PCC to review the balances held in reserves on an annual basis. Reserves are held in a ‘Designated Fund’ (i.e., available to be spent at the discretion of the PCC if the spending meets the intention for which the Fund is designated) and a ‘General Fund,’ which can be used to meet day to day costs subject to conditions set out below.
As at the 31st December 2022 the PCC had two Funds, as follows:
6
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
A GENERAL FUND , currently £27,705 , available to supplement day to day costs, subject to this being part of an agreed budget that seeks to identify longer term income streams to meet future recurrent expenditure, or to meet specified non-recurrent costs such as new enhancements, replacement equipment or specific activity specified by the PCC. This fund has been strengthened during 2022 but care is still required to maintain sufficient reserves during a time when all organisations and individuals are facing such significant inflationary pressures
A DESIGNATED CAPITAL MAINTENANCE FUND readily available to ensure that all properties are compliant with Health and Safety regulations and are always a secure and safe environment. The sum available on 31 December 2022 was £30,723 . Within this fund a Special ‘Boiler Replacement Reserve’ amounting to £18,500 has been identified, given the likely need to replace boilers in our three premises in the future.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE and MANAGEMENT
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Nunthorpe PCC consists of the Incumbent, curate, the churchwardens and a reader plus up to 3 Deanery Synod representatives and a maximum of 12 lay representatives elected by those members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll of the Church. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll in order to be eligible to stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.
The full PCC held 7 meetings during the year. Two of the meetings were held on Zoom, the remainder were in person meetings. Both methods worked well and attendance has remained high.
The PCC has a number of teams which deal with a particular aspect of parish life. These include Fabric, Social Events and Pastoral, each of which reports to the PCC. All PCC members are encouraged to serve on at least one committee and non-PCC members can be co-opted.
The Standing Committee consists of the Incumbent, the curate, the churchwarden, Hon. Secretary and Hon. Treasurer. They met on 5 occasions to deal with urgent matters and to set the agenda for the next PCC meeting.
The 2022 APCM took place in person on 22nd March.
Shared Ministry
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God”. I John 4:7
I would like to thank everyone in our community for the way in which you have coped with the many changes of the last year as we closed for worship in January and reopened at Easter. It has been a blessing to be able to use the church hall for worship at times when greater social distancing has been required and also for services with some opportunities for fellowship. It has also been good to re-establish regular Sunday morning worship in the church and to celebrate the major festivals there.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Note 1 Accounting Policies General information and basis of preparation
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in March 2018, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This 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 (FRS 102) in March 2018 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Funds
Restricted funds represent
(a) Income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those Restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and
(b)Donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Note 1 Accounting Policies (continued)
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
Planned envelope giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends and interest are accounted for when received. All other income is recognised when it is receivable, including Church Hall lettings where outstanding invoices are accrued in the accounts. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when the outflow of economic benefit is probable. Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if the payment of the grant is probable. The diocesan ‘freewill offer’ is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when payable, and is accounted for gross including VAT which cannot be recovered. Where exact amounts are not known at accounts closure best estimates are accrued.
Fixed assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10 (2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time), any such assets are not valued in the financial statements as they are written off when incurred.
No original cost information is available for the Church Hall, but has recently enjoyed substantial refurbishment. This Hall is regarded as specialised property and under FRS102 is valued at depreciated replacement cost, which is the value of £1,459,750 provided by our insurance company surveyor in 2017. The Ripon Road premises is also included at its valuation figure obtained in 2017. At each year end the there is an assessment as to whether the freehold land and buildings should be written down (because the carrying value is more than the recoverable amount).
Depreciation is not provided on freehold land and buildings because, in the opinion of the trustees, the estimated residual value is in excess of the current book value. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £5,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe Trustees’ Annual Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
I report to the charity’s trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair view” which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
