2020 Annual Report for the Parochial Church Council of Christ Church Cockfosters
The members of the PCC present their annual report and financial statement of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities [SORP (FRS 102)].
AIM & PURPOSES
Christ Church PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, Revd Jon Tuckwell, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Informal liaison arrangements exist with the Conventional District of St Paul’s, Hadley Wood, which forms part of the parish but has its own minister and Church Council and also with Grace Church Highlands which is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
Members of the PCC are either ex-officio, co-opted or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. Three members are elected each year for a three-year term of office. At the first meeting of the new PCC an induction session takes place when membership, responsibilities and functions of the PCC are explained.
During 2020 the following served as members of the PCC:
| Clergy: | Revd Jon Tuckwell (Chair) |

The PCC members are, with the Vicar, responsible for making decisions on matters of general concern and importance to the Parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.
COMMITTEES / ACTION GROUPS
The PCC operates through a number of Action Groups which meet between full meetings of the PCC:
-
The Standing Committee has consisted of Vicar, Churchwardens, Treasurer, Associate Vicars, and a representative elected by PCC. It is the only committee required by canon law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meeting, subject to any directions given by the Council. Please note that Standing Committee combined with the Administration and Finance group in July 2020 becoming the Finance and Standing Committee.
-
Additionally, the following non-statutory groups met during the year (reports available separately):
oAdministration and Finance Action Group (until July 2020) -
Fabric Group;
-
Mission Action Group.
SAFEGUARDING
The PCC has complied with its Safeguarding responsibilities under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. The PCC acknowledges that it must pay 'due regard' to safeguarding guidance issued by the House of Bishops (including both policy and practice guidance). The Church Safeguarding Officer was Mr Tom INMAN; and the Children’s Champion was Mrs Karen HOSKER for 2020.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE
It was reported at the 2020 APCM that the number on the Christ Church Electoral Roll was 315. Of these 57 were resident in the parish.
Owing to Covid, the standard figures on the annual report would have been zero for most of 2020. Below is a selection of attendance statistics that have been supplied to the CoE, on our yearly returns and that may be of more use.
Average worshipping community via livestream 2020: 700-1000 Christmas Eve & Christmas Day attendance in person: 270 Average weekly attendance in October 2020 in person: 85 (66 Adults, 19 Children)
REVIEW OF THE YEAR
I’m not sure what a ‘usual’ year on the church council would be – but this certainly wasn’t one! I am hugely grateful for the wisdom and patience of the whole church council as we have sought to lead the church family through a hard, but hopeful year.
At the start of the pandemic the PCC took two significant decisions. We postponed plans for the ‘Building Church’ building project recognising the enormity of global events and wanting to have time to reflect on
Page - 3 - of 6
their long-term impact. We also decided to commence a Ministry Review, taking the chance to review many aspects of ministry life at Christ Church.
The Ministry Review highlighted the need for long-term changes to our morning services and so, much of our meeting time in the past year has been taken up with thinking through possible patterns of Sunday services in post-pandemic life. Alongside this, plans for a garden room on the graveyard were discussed and prayed about to facilitate an expansion of our Sunday morning ministries.
During 2020 decisions were also made around two staff appointments (Pastoral Associate for families, and Youth Minister) along with housing provision for the newly appointed Youth Minister. Both roles commenced in January 2021.
Finally, as ever, safeguarding was a regular part of our PCC discussions as we review our practices and work tirelessly to ensure that Christ is honoured in the diligence of our care for the church family.
FINANCE
Our original budget for 2020 was for a use of our General Fund reserves of £76,082 to allow us to continue re-shaping and investing in our ministry and administration teams, our digital capability and oneoff redundancy costs. This decision was supported by healthy General Fund reserves at the end of 2019 of £383,873, comfortably above our minimum reserve policy.
The impact of Covid complicated and impacted our finances during the year, with the overall use of our General Fund reserves amounting to £113,553. Whilst we were blessed with giving income remaining at the same levels as 2019, income from the House Café, Lettings and Pre-School were all down. Expenditure increased versus 2019, as planned, to support our investment in ministry activities but was constrained lower than budget in response to the impact to Covid.
Additionally, donations and gift aid of £317,013 were received for the purchase of 58 Fordham Road to house our new Youth Minister, which was held in a Restricted Fund and the purchase was successfully completed via Christ Church Trust. Remaining funds will be utilised for a much needed modernisation of the property, with any surplus being used to repay some of the mortgage provided by CAF Bank to assist with the purchase of the property.
Our General Fund reserves finished the year at an amount of £270,320, which remains comfortably above our minimum reserves policy, and supports our ability to absorb any further near-term impacts of Covid and our longer term ministry plans. As ever, we remain thankful to God for blessing us with financial resources and pray that we will continue to be faithful and generous stewards.
RISK MANAGEMENT
During the year we continued a process of identifying the major risks that impact on the work of Christ Church. An analysis of the existing procedures and controls in place to deal with the risks will be continually reviewed by the PCC. Action to manage the risks will be implemented as necessary.
The Church’s Safeguarding Policy is regularly kept up to date. Tom Inman is our Safeguarding Officer and maintains our safeguarding practices. All youth and children’s leaders are either DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and trained in safeguarding, or are undergoing the training and awaiting the outcome of DBS checks.

RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the church to hold in reserves the equivalent of two months’ general running costs and an additional month’s salary costs. The PCC considers that our present reserves are sufficient to meet these requirements.

13. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounts Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations "true and fair view" provisions, together with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) as the applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities [SORP (FRS 102)]
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investments and properties which are shown at fair value and insurance value respectively.
Going concern
The members of the PCC have considered all available information about the future and will ensure that the Church has adequate resources available to finance its activities and other obligations during the course of the next twelve months and, therefore, no material uncertainties have been identified by the members that may cast any significant doubt about the ability of the Church to continue as a going concern.
Christ Church Trust is a connected charity and has produced its own accounts which are attached. The PCC has decided that as this trust is a separate charity, it is not appropriate to include its figures.
