It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. The members of the Standing Committee are the Vicar, Lay Vice Chair of the PCC, and the two Churchwardens. (The Secretary and the Hon Treasurer are members of the Standing Committee if they are elected to the PCC). ## **Structure, governance and management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. As from the Annual Parochial Church Meeting April 2012, a third of the PCC are elected each year as resolved by the adjourned PCM in 2011. With effect from the APCM April 19, 2015 it was agreed that with an electoral roll that fluctuated around 100 people, lay representation on the PCC should remain stable at 9 members. ## **Objectives and activities** When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent, the Revd John Burniston, and St. James’ PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance for the advancement of religion. In particular, we take responsibility for promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, in the ecclesiastical parish. We also have maintenance responsibilities for the fabric of the Church and for the Church Hall complex at the corner of Packington Street. ## **Safeguarding** With regard to the PCC’s obligations to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. ## **General Data Protection Regulation** The PCC is committed to protecting the data privacy of all the persons and organisations with which it interacts. Personal information contained in this report and elsewhere (including names, addresses and telephone numbers) are stored securely in electronic and paper copy in the Parish Office. Any member who objects to personal information relating to him/her being stored in this manner should so inform, in writing, the PCC Secretary. The details of any member who does object will be omitted from future reports.

Services streamed live from the church and available online. ## **- Review of the year 2022 Proceedings of the PCC** In 2022 the PCC had 9 meetings all via video link as this has continued to be the best way for all PCC members to attend the meetings. In February Lebby Anafu joined the PCC as he took up the role of Safeguarding Officer for St James’. Susan Sorensen has continued to support the PCC as Treasurer with our administrator, Vicky Bellamy, assisting with the bookkeeping. Tim Willis has taken on the paymaster duties previous carried out by Assistant Treasurer, Alastair Hume, and other jobs such as helping with the counting of collections have been taken on by members of the PCC. The Organ project was discussed at every meeting in 2022. Work continued throughout the year with completion of the project delayed by the ill health of the contractor. However, by the end of the year, the completion of the project was anticipated to be in early April with a celebration for the opening planned for early May. The PCC have continued to keep a close watch on the costs and the project remained within budget. The Islington Proms festival went ahead in September again (with a June concert in the Vicarage Garden during the summer) as the change of timing in 2021 had proved to be successful. Isabel Nisbet and the Proms Committee once again put in an enormous amount of work to the excellent programme of concerts and associated events which took place between 9th and 24[th] September.[. ] Isabel kept the PCC updated as the plans progressed and the budget was set for the 2022 season. Plans are underway for the 2023 season. Maintaining the Ministry of St James as we move towards Fr John’s last year in post and into an Interregnum period has been a dominant theme of PCC meetings. Andy Rider, Dean of Mission, talked to the PCC in June about the vacancy process and taking time to consider St James’ mission and growth moving forwards. In October the Churchwardens also reported on their meeting with the Archdeacon and discussions regarding their concerns for the interregnum period. The PCC continued to discuss aspects of the “Time to Dream” process at each meeting, considering how to manage and maintain the Church and Hall buildings, whether the Sunday School can be continued during the interregnum, and how to encourage more volunteers and potential PPC members to come forward to strengthen the team moving towards the interregnum. Registered Charity No. 1134267 5 The PCC received regular reports on the financial position of St James’s and agreed to maintain the level of our contribution to the Common Fund. The Church boiler had to be replaced in March but overall finances have held up well as users of the Church and Hall have returned. St James’ was honoured to receive a sizeable bequest from a past and long standing member of the congregation. As a result, work to refurbish the pews was completed in July. The PCC was informed that an application had been made in November for a grant to replace the cooker in the Hall in the new year. A card reader was purchased to assist with ticket purchases for the Proms, and the PCC began to explore the possibility of a fixed card reader in Church for giving by card as the use of cash remains low after covid. Other issues discussed included the rise in utility prices and how possible savings could be made, review of hire fees for both the Church and Hall and an update of St James’ website. ## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** Under the Charities Act 2011, the PCC is required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year. Under section 133 of the Act, the PCC may prepare receipts and payments accounts provided the charity’s gross income does not exceed £250,000. We are required to: 1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 3. State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations. We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the church and to take reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities. ## **Financial Review** For the financial year ended 31st December 2022 the PCC has agreed that it should now move to a “Receipts and Payments” (R&P) basis of accounting. This is because the annual income of the church is less than £250,000 which is the threshold for the requirement for “accruals” accounting. With the grants from the Cloudesley Trust and Wm Lambe Trust in 2021 for the restoration and digital enhancement of the organ, the income then exceeded the threshold. Following the implementation of the organ project, the normal church income level means that it can now produce more simplified accounts. The switch from accruals accounting to a receipts and payments basis necessitated the restatement of the 2021 accounts to enable an accurate comparison between years on the new basis. This means that the figures for 2021 shown in the 2022 statements are slightly different from the previous years. The PCC monitors the financial performance of the church on the basis of its routine “normalised” income and expenditure, under the heading “Unrestricted General funds”. Exceptional expenditure on church and hall renewal, including the rebuilding of the organ, has been the subject of separate budgets, with planned expenditure charged to designated reserves in addition to the use of any specific grants received, referred to above. Registered Charity No. 1134267 6 With the application of R&P accounting the PCC no longer has to comply with Financial Reporting Standard 102 and the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) to demonstrate that the church is a going concern. However, it should be noted that the church continues to hold significant assets comprising £134,650 in bank and cash deposits, and £285,913 in financial investments as at December 3, 2022. It also owns a leasehold interest in the church hall in a building owned by the London Diocese and leased to the Southern Housing Association. The value of the lease has hitherto been depreciated over a period of forty years, with a residual book value as at 31[st] December 2022 of approximately £80k. It is intended that the realistic market value of this leasehold property will be assessed during 2023. The church continues to have access to the accumulated income from the permanent endowment held in the William Lambe Trust (WLT) for the restricted purpose of financing repairs and maintenance of the church building. The income fund stood at just under £167k at the end of 2020 which enabled £150k to contribute to the organ project. Further income has accumulated since then and now stands at just over £63k. The fund is managed and accounted for by the London Diocesan Fund (LDF) and is for the exclusive use of St James’. The church also has access to Cloudesley, another local charitable trust, which allocates grants to Church of England churches within the Islington Deanery for work to the church fabric and the maintenance of services. In recent years we have successfully applied to Cloudesley for significant contributions to the costs of new developments. Applications are invited twice a year and the PCC is extremely grateful to Cloudesley for their continued support. ## **Financial Performance 2022** The out-turn on the general unrestricted fund, before reserve fund transfers, was a surplus of receipts over payments of £8k compared with the underlying deficit of £16k reported in the previous year when income had been seriously reduced as a result of the covid-19 restrictions. The overall position however was an excess of expenditure over receipts of nearly £50k but this was because of the differential timing of the receipt of grants and expenditure on the organ project. In the previous year there was a surplus of cash receipts of £128k. Taking the two years together there was a surplus of receipts over payments of just over £78k which will be required to contribute to the balance of the organ costs incurred in 2023. The church again made its full contribution to the Diocesan common fund of £85,200 in 2022. Although the value of our investments had increased by £15,473 in 2021, this was largely a result of a recovery in financial markets in the last quarter. Instability during 2022 resulted in a significant reduction, particularly in the bond market. The total value of £286k was approximately £4k less that the purchase value of equities and bonds in 2000. The structure of the overall portfolio will be reviewed to ensure that the return on the investment is optimised in the long term. ## **Charitable donations** The church continued to support a number of charitable causes including Christian Aid, the Church of England Children’s Society and local charities. The Pack-up project providing a weekly soup and sandwich kitchen for the street community resumed in the church hall when the Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, having provided a take-away service when the hall was closed. A number of charities hire the hall at reduced rates. Donations and grant aid totalling £7,652 were received in response to special appeals for disaster relief and Pack-up.

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 2011 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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs. In the previous year the charity's income exceeded £250,000 and the charity was obliged to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis. As the charity's income is now less than £250,000, it has taken advantage of the option to prepare its accounts on a receipts and payments basis and the results reported previously have been restated; further information is given in note 8 below. General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. |**2**
