Introduction by Reverend Canon Zoë King
As I enter my second year in Barry as Ministry Area Leader we find the world is at long last staring to return to normal after the events of the pandemic. Last year we saw the world change in scary ways with the Ukrainian invasion and continuing war and the cost of living crisis which has impacted all of us and our churches.
The reports you will find in this Report are but a fraction of the representation of the community we are building here. It gives the bare bones, and sometimes difficult picture of our finances. The Barry Ministry Area is full of people dedicated to promoting the gospel and helping the community. We now in 2023 need to start working outwards and also be more intentional about fundraising.
I cannot thank my clergy colleagues, both retired and serving, the Lay Chair, the Wardens and all serving officers and Administrator for all they do and support the Barry Ministry Area, but my biggest thanks goes to everyone who walks in the door for all you do to create the community and to promote the gospel in Barry.
Thank you and here’s to continuing the great commission here in Barry,
All Saints’ Report by Reverend Canon Zoë King
2022 was the year of the community slowly coming back into All Saints’ and also catching up with baptisms as we did a huge number of them!
Over the year we saw people return to use our building for all sorts of concerts and events from baptisms, weddings, funerals to school concerts and a remarkable inter- faith event in conjunction with Dar Ul Isra Mosque.
All Saints is blessed with a team of people who make sure the building is kept clean and tidy and both inside and out and also maintain the building. The church hall has been well utilised with new regular bookings and all the groups now fully back after the pandemic.
This year we need to look at how we move forward with some needed repairs and fundraising more for funds and how we can do more in the community. During the past year we have said a fond farewell to the following:
William Rodd, Eric Morris, Colin Vinnecombe, Leigh Berry, Reginald Coundley, Phill Hurst, Tony Forte, Bill Davies, Nicky Case, Marilyn Sylvester and Graham Davies.
We thank God for their Christian witness and pray that they may rest in peace.
All Saints Church Choir by James Bull, B.Mus.
The Choir’s main focus is to lead and enhance the worship of the congregation of All Saints’ Barry. This is supplemented by the Choir singing Anthems at the Eucharist Services. The musical settings at the Eucharist are fully congregational (the current settings being Mass of St Thomas by David Thorne and the Missa Simplax by Malcolm Archer, which alternate), and there is a good mix of hymns, psalms and worship songs sung, so that every age range can be represented. These changes continue to have support and are generally well received. In addition, the choir’s repertoire continues to grow. The Choir also have the pleasure of leading the various Ministry Area Services held in the different Ministry Area Churches throughout the year.
I also want to publically thank Miss Mary Williams, Mr Lindsay Gray and Mr David Thomas for playing at services, weddings and funerals in my absence. Their support is very much noted and appreciated. I would also like to thank every individual choir member who gives up their time and talent willingly as a volunteer to sing and lead the worship to Almighty God and in addition help me run choir social events, fundraising events or supports me in putting on concerts, this extends to people outside the choir as well!!
We are already looking forward to the challenges and maintaining the high standard of music which we have become used to at All Saints’ Parish Church throughout the forthcoming year.
Children’s Ministry by Revd Emma Ackland, Curate
The focus for this report is the work I have undertaken in respect of Children’s Ministry and Schools work.
He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, ‘’Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me. Mark 9: 36-37
All Saints Primary School
The aim for our presence in All Saints Primary school (ASPS) has been to re-establish a relationship between the Church and the school after the COVID pandemic and a change in school and clergy leadership following the restrictions that schools and churches experienced as a result of lockdown. Younger year groups within the school had never been into a church building or experienced corporate Christian worship. Moreover, they had no relationship with people within the church (clergy and lay) and had had no opportunity to ask questions about faith or to be supported to explore their own relationship with God.
I believe passionately that children are innately spiritual. I see it as my primary duty to help the children to recognise the God which they are already encountering. To experience the love of God in their lives and to be equipped to rely on God throughout life through prayer and relationship.
My aim has been to become part of the fabric of the ASPS community and not just a distant visitor. To give the children (and the staff) access to a priest to whom they can chat, confide, enquire and trust. I have concentrated on forming relationships with the children in each year group but have focussed on the younger age groups as they have missed out most due to the pandemic.
I take whole school worship every Thursday morning. This largely reflects the church liturgical year, and we also include the Christian value which the school is focussing on that term. I stay in the school for the rest of the day. I eat lunch with the children in the hall and spend time in the playground with them. These times of informal contact have been valuable to provide pastoral care to the children and build trust. This has led to prayer time with certain children and one-to-one time with children who have been affected by bereavement or adverse event.
I also take whole class lessons, story time, prayer workshops and bible study. For the first three terms each class had an ‘Ask Rev Em’ box in each classroom which they could put any questions in anonymously during the week. These questions were then answered the next time I was in at the front of the class. These questions varied from ‘What’s your favourite shop?’ to ‘Exactly how did Jesus come alive again?’. These Q&A sessions have been a great relationship builder and catalyst for theological discussions!
I have also set up a chaplaincy to the staff within the school. Staff are invited to see me if they wish to talk about any matters surrounding faith or their life. Whilst this had a slow start, as trust built with the staff it has been busy and I have been able to support them with pastoral issues and explore Christianity when asked. One teacher who had previously not considered herself Christian has asked to be baptised which is a joyful outcome.
The bridge between the services in the church building and the school families is yet to recover from lockdown but I have worked hard to provide opportunities for children and their families to experience a welcome at All Saints Church.
Oakfield Primary School
Linked to the ongoing work to utilise the Merthyr Dyfan Church building more fully, the relationship with Oakfield Primary school is flourishing. Oakfield primary school is characterised by its setting within an area of high deprivation and childhood poverty. As such, I was invited to work with the children with regards to spiritual well-being and
whilst Oakfield is a community school, the executive head describes the school ethos as being broadly Christian.
The whole school came to MD church for the Christmas story and they will be joining us at the end of this term for an Easter parade and the Easter story. They are also involved in the planning for our Open Churches festival in June at Merthyr Dyfan.
In September, I joined the board of governors for the school and as a member of the wellbeing committee am involved in the planning and provision for the children’s spiritual wellbeing.
Through the Oakfield school community, fruitful connections have been made with people within the area who are actively supporting us with the revival of the MD church building; including our local counsellor, the ASDA and Morrisons community champions, our local Police Special constable and representatives from the local authority.
Pastoral support has been given to some staff and a funeral taken upon request of a staff member.
Relationships are deepening with the children and the whole school community and as links with MD church continue to develop I am hopeful that the opportunity for us to walk alongside those in Gibbonsdown will help them come to know the love of God.
Ministry Area Children’s Sunday provision
On 18[th] January a meeting was held for any interested party to discuss Sunday provision across the Ministry Area. Despite recognition of the importance of this, after much work and dialogue, it has been decided that each church will continue to work independently on a Sunday. Due to reduced numbers of volunteers, it is unlikely that Sunday Provision at All Saints church will become a regular event in the near future.
Diocesan Work
To help move Barry M.A children’s and schools work forward, I have joined the diocesan ‘Schools of Sanctuaries’ project which offers training and support to school leaders with reference to refugee families and those outside of our own culture. This is also linked to the ‘Churches of Sanctuary’ project which I hope to join and help introduce to the MA once the schools work is complete. The knowledge and integration with our refugee community borne out of the ‘Schools for Sanctuary project’ will enable our churches to become more active in supporting our refugee community in Barry.
An entirely new Welsh Schools curriculum was launched in September 2022. One of it’s units is Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE) and the guidance and curriculum for this section is also new. I have been invited to join the RVE Schools lead group by the diocese to
undergo training so that the support that can be offered to all schools in Barry through the Church (in both church and community schools) is entirely in line with the new curriculum. The hope is that with fluency in this area the value that can be added to the spiritual development of the children in Barry will have deeper outcomes. In the future, the aim is that our church buildings can be fully utilised to invite schools across the MA to experience the faith and welcoming community of Christianity.
Other Schools work
Howells School, Llandaff: An afternoon session delivered to Y2 where a doll’s ‘baptism’ service was held. Complete with parents and godparents we explored the responsibilities of the roles, together with the symbolism and purpose of baptism and had a party afterwards to celebrate! (whilst this was outside of our MA appropriate permission was granted from the Cathedral).
Cardiff Muslim Primary School – During interfaith week an assembly was delivered to the whole school to outline the framework and core beliefs of Christianity. Afterwards there was a Q&A session and an opportunity for the children to look at some bibles, a rosary, some different crosses and some icons.
Vote of thanks
I should like to express thanks to all those in our church communities who have shown an interest in the children and schools work we are undertaking in the MA. Those who have given time and energy to support events and the ongoing ministry.
My gratitude to Iris Swann and members of the Wednesday Morning Coffee group at All Saints who have raised and donated over £160 to fund children’s resources. Much of the activities, hospitality and creativity we have been able to give the children and schools in Barry would simply not have been possible without your generosity and thoughtfulness.
Please record my thanks to Ann Marie Bull for her energy, enthusiasm and her drive to minister to the families of our community. Ann Marie’s courage and dedication has been of value to both the children and to me personally. E.A March 2023

Mothers’ Union by Anita Hop
This year we enrolled four new members, and we have one member who has transferred from another branch. We now have fifty-six members.
Fortunately, we have been able to resume our meetings after Covid with speakers giving talks on interesting and varied topics. On the 24[th] March we celebrated our 35[th] Anniversary of the founding of our branch, by Janet Oeppen, with a special Eucharist arranged and led by Canon Zoë. At this service we raised £131 from donations towards our charities. On 24[th] September we held a coffee morning which was very successful raising £505 for the Mothers’ Union caravan in Porthcawl which provides free holidays for those in need. We held our ‘Christmas Cheer’ afternoon on 8[th] December, when we were able to present 15 blankets for the homeless which had been knitted and sewn together by members of the church and Mothers Union. We have donated £350 to help towards energy costs.
Deanery and Diocesan events have included the Deanery Festival, and Diocesan Advent Carol Service. In January we took part in the annual ‘Wave of Prayer’ which includes all members of the Mothers’ Union worldwide.
Sadly, we lost one of our members this year, Pat Spierling who will be sadly missed.
Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at 2pm and we extend a warm welcome to all who would like to join us.
Chaplaincy by Reverend Canon Zoë King
The chaplaincy team over the last year has moved from telephone visiting to starting to visit people in their own homes. This work is vital and I cannot thank everyone for all their hard work - over 2023 the chaplaincy will continue to take the church community out to people and develop our work in that way.
Our huge thanks goes to Mrs Suzanne Grover for all the work she has done and wish her well after she stepped down as the coordinator for the chaplaincy team,
I also must offer my thanks to Mrs Susan Borges who has taken on the role of Safeguarding Officer for the Ministry Area and and is making sure we will always be a safe community for all.
St Dyfan and St Teilo Church Report by Fr Robert Parrish
I would like to pay tribute to our small but loyal congregation that have soldiered on despite a lack of heating, and occasionally lack of lighting as well. I am happy to report that in the near future Merthyr Dyfan church will have a modern and efficient electrical installation. Hopefully this will encourage more people to attend, and enable us to hold coffee mornings and other activities in the church.
We look forward to welcoming organisations to the church, particularly those who promote an interest in local history. We also look forward to developing the potential of the site as a nature reserve.
When St Paul’s, Barry and St Paul’s hall closed many items were stored in Merthyr Dyfan church as they had nowhere else to go. This resulted in our small church becoming cluttered. Inessential items need to be got rid of, and we aim to hire a skip in the near future.
A church is for the whole community, not just for the congregation. We are indebted to Revd Emma for fostering links with nearby schools, in particular Oakfield primary school. She has welcomed classes from the school to Merthyr Dyfan, and explained to them the history and significance of the building.
Alongside the other churches in the Ministry Area we are concerned that church attendance has still not returned to its pre-covid level. (According to the Church Times church attendance has dropped by 30% since covid). I am visiting and taking holy communion to church members unable for health reasons to attend church at present. Hopefully the new heating and lighting system will make it possible for some to return. Other people have not (yet) returned, perhaps because they got out of the routine of church attendance during the lockdown. We miss them. Also, a drop in membership means a drop in giving as well; at present we are only able to pay our bills by spending our Ministry Area reserves, which are rapidly diminishing. If there isn’t a turn-around soon we may be forced to make cuts that we will all regret. So if anyone reads this report who hasn’t yet returned to church then please do ‘come and join us!’ And if any are able to increase their giving (we appreciate we are living in very difficult times) then it would be much appreciated if you could do so.
Churches of St Cadoc and the Blessed Virgin Mary by Fr Dan Barnes-Davies St Cadoc’s:
The longer I serve in Cadoxton, the more I realise how fondly the parish church is regarded by the local community. I see this most obviously in our ministry of weddings, funerals and baptisms. Whenever I take a public service like these in our church, at least a handful of people will tell me, unprompted, that they were christened here, or married here, or their parents, or grandparents. It shouldn’t be surprising that a church which has stood in her community for about eight centuries would be dripping with local, family history. Indeed, during this year we welcomed a visitor from America, whose family a professional genealogist had traced to our churchyard. Our place at the centre of the local community was again obvious in the days after Elizabeth II’s death, when — thanks to congregation members — we were able to offer a place of quiet prayer during a very unsettling time.
We’ve made good use of our beautiful churchyard during the year: for the returning favourite Fun Day with the Official Opening of the Toilet (which I was gutted to miss, selfisolating), for High Tea on Jubilee weekend, for a MA pet blessing service, and for enquiryled learning by Cadoxton Primary School classes. Rebuilding our relationship with the school has been one of my personal highlights of the year, and it is so important that local children feel welcome in their parish church.
Of course, ‘the Old Village Church’ would not still be standing after all these centuries without the love of her faithful congregants; and the current congregation are exceptionally faithful. The church runs on the dedicated volunteer work of a few stalwarts: at this point I want to warmly thank everyone who keeps her running, not least sacristan Jan Braddon, verger Shirley Powell, Kay Charles and Fr Chris Seaton. Shortly after arriving, I observed to the clergy team that I thought St Cadoc’s was the ‘prayer engine room’ of the Ministry Area, and I have been glad to be part of a community which is fed, as I am, by catholic Church in Wales worship. My personal highlight this year was taking part in the Society of Catholic Priests’ Europe-wide octave of Eucharistic adoration for the day of Thanksgiving for Holy Communion (Corpus Christi). It’s through our worship together that God prepares and strengthens us for the work of ministry among our community, following in the footsteps of Cattwg Ddoeth, “Cadoc the Wise”.
St Mary’s:
It has been a year of real progress at St Mary’s Church. It’s been really heartening for me to look back over my 2022 diary and to realise quite how much happened. We are moving at pace toward our vision of becoming a central place of belonging for our local community. As part of this vision, we already have a handful of regular community groups and paid users including foodbank, Friends & Neighbours, Slimming World and concerts with Barry Arts and Barry Brass Band. This Christmas, we were delighted to be able to welcome back Holton Primary School and the Guides for their carol concerts, and this reconnection with the school is already bearing fruit in 2023.
I was proud of how we responded as a Ministry Area to the death of Elizabeth II, with all four churches open to the public in those few days. Members of our communities deeply appreciated what we were able to offer, and what we were able to offer was entirely thanks to the willingness of volunteers. Thank you. This was just one way in which St Mary’s particular role as a town centre church was lived out during the year — we also hosted the Town Mayor’s inauguration service and Christmas carol service; and I have been the Mayor’s Chaplain for 22/23. This has been hugely helpful in building a rapport with Barry Town Council. The church was also a base for a Citizen Cymru action encouraging the Vale council to keep progressing towards Living Wage employer status.
The Community Garden committee — ably chaired by our own Helena Coombes, assisted by Susan Borges — has been busily working away securing grants, making plans and obtaining the necessary permission to advance our vision to offer peaceful, accessible green space for our local community to enjoy. The Well-Bean Café project was hit by complications and delays, and most of all by the increase in energy costs this winter, but we’re still working on bringing wellbeing-focussed community groups into the building. Through my work with Well-Bean, I was invited to the first Barry Pride since the pandemic started, which was a wonderful celebration I look forward to attending annually.
Meanwhile, our life together as a worshipping community has been enriched by a few new additions to our church; it is such a joy to know that St Mary’s is a community in which new people can feel welcome. Part of this has been our MA programme of socials and fundraisers; a late highlight of which was the return of Breakfast with Santa. As we tentatively resume ministry among children and families, St Mary’s hosted a very successful MA Messy Church service.
Thank you very much indeed to everyone who has contributed to St Mary’s distinctive ministry to our community in Holton Road. Not least, I must record my deep appreciation for the tireless work of my subwarden since April, Susan Borges. Each member of our church community has been part of what we’ve achieved this year, and your commitment speaks of Christ’s love. Diolch yn fawr!

The Representative Body of the Church in Wales holds the land and property of the Church in Wales including All Saints, St. Cadoc’s, St. Mary’s & Merthyr Dyfan Church buildings, its contents and the Churchyard. The Representative Body is an Exempt Charity and was set up under Section 13 (2) of the Welsh Church Act 1914. It acts on behalf of the Province in paying the stipends of full time clergy; and administrators of the Church in Wales scheme of Covenanted giving and recovers tax on behalf of parishes.
The MAC is responsible inter alia for promoting the mission of the Church, the parochial budget and all expenditure there under, the care and maintenance of the Church fabric

Chairman’s introduction : Helena Coombes welcomed everyone to the meeting saying that it felt very surreal to be sat in the position of Lay Chair.
She went on to thank the Ministry Team for having confidence in her ability to take on the role of Lay Chair and hoped that she is able to rise to the challenge.
Helena also expressed her thanks to the PCC and the communicants of all four churches for not objecting to her appointment.
Helena realises that some people do not know her very well but hopefully over the next year she can join some of the services around the Ministry Area to enable people to put a face to a name. .
Minutes of the Previous Annual Vestry Meeting: Copies of the last meeting minutes which took place on 21[st] April 2021 (via Zoom) had been distributed via email prior to the meeting.
Helena stated that she had not attended the last meeting but it was agreed that Chris Chaulk and Rowena Hughes were happy to sign the minutes as an accurate recording of them.
This was proposed by Keith Williams and seconded by Cath George.
All in favour of minutes being correct.
Rev’d Zoë thanked her colleagues and also a huge thank you to Janet Braddon for compiling all the necessary paperwork for the meeting and distributing accordingly.
Rev’d Zoë went on to say that it was nearly 10 months since she arrived in Barry and that it has been great. She said that the world is beginning to open up and hopefully we can try and bring more people back to church.
She welcomed everyone to the Ministry Area Council.
Area Reports
Helena Coombes recommended that the reports are taken as read, these having been previously distributed.
Electoral Roll
Rev’d Zoë stated that there were a lot of Electoral Roll forms still to be returned. Hoping that people who have not returned their forms can be encouraged to do so.
Accounts
A copy of the Draft Accounts had already been distributed. Helena asked Martin Evans for any comments.
Martin Evans explained that the accounts were in draft format this year as there was not enough time to complete before being presented to an independent examiner.
Martin stated that alongside Keith Williams and himself putting the accounts together was team work and took a lot of time. This year has been another unusual year with figures reflecting that.
Martin then addressed the meeting by going through the main points:-
In general over the past 12 months to December 2021 the total income was £163,000. This was a drop of £53,000 on the previous year, therefore meaning over the past two years the general income in the Ministry Area has halved from £347,000 in 2019 to £160,000 now.
Legacies - £2,000 received in 2021 as opposed to £46,000 the previous year. The Ministry Area has never implemented a definite policy regarding legacies, perhaps we should consider this now.
Investment income includes property rentals from two properties being Arwyn Drive and Woodlands Court which totals £16,800 and dividends held in the Church in Wales Common Investment Fund of £2,800.
Expenditure – against the backdrop of falling income, expenditure continues to rise unabated.
The Parish Share payable for 2021 was £119,000, although the actual amount paid was £76,000 due to support from the Diocese during Covid. The total Parish Share for 2022 is £123,000 and with support from the Diocese ended we will have to find an extra £47,000 this year which means drawing on our reserves. This is, of course, before any other expenses are taken into account.
Included in the general parish expenses was a settlement payment of £14,000 to extricate the Ministry Area from a Lease Agreement.
Maintenance of Churches – out of the £60,000 paid out on church maintenance, £44,000
related to building work which included:-
£30,000 on St. Mary’s fence
£8,000 on the pigeon and bat problem at Merthyr Dyfan
In addition £58,000 was paid out on the toilet and path at St. Cadoc’s, in total the toilet cost £100,000 less a potential reclaim of £14,000 VAT.
In conclusion if our income and expenditure levels remain the same as they are at present, our Bank accounts could be emptied in less than three years, this could be sooner as our heating and lighting contracts are due to be renewed at the end of September this year. In the past we have relied on our fundraising activities to close the gap so hopefully with the lifting of covid restrictions these activities can resume.
Caroline Dodd asked what was the amount of the reserves to which Martin replied £466,000.
Helena Coombes, on behalf of all present thanked Martin and team for all their hard work and conveyed on behalf of the PCC that the Accounts should be signed off and sent to the Auditor.
Proposed by Elaine Adams and Seconded by Caroline Dodd.
Reports of Deanery & Diocesan Conferences: Rev’d Zoë informed the meeting that no Deanery Conference had taken place.
There was a Diocesan Conference with the main discussion being about Ministry Areas. Chris Chaulk was also in attendance.
Fr Dan said that he had appreciated going to the Conference and that there were presentations about the challenges which face the continuation and growth of the church, alongside working with young people and children as we move out of Covid.
Rev’d Zoë thanked Chris Chaulk for being a Diocesan Representative, however Chris would now like to pass this honour on to somebody else

Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Church in Wales is a Province within the Anglican Communion and seeks to advance the Christian religion through worldwide mission.
The Rectorial Benefice of Barry is part of the Diocese of Llandaff and includes the churches of- All Saints’ Barry, St Marys’ St Cadocs’ and St Dyfan & St Teilo’s Merthyr Dyfan.
Induction and Training of New Trustees
There is no formal induction training, trustees are already members of the church and are aware of the goals and aims of the church. Their roles and responsibilities are communicated verbally and through the uses of leaflets from the Charity Commission.
Objectives and Activities
The objectives and aims of the charity are the promotion of the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical throughout the Benefice. It is the responsibility of the PCC and Incumbents to work together and co-operate in all matters of concern and importance to the Benefice for the promotion of the objectives and aims.
Public Benefit
As required by the Charities Act 2011, the PCC has given due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of the operation of the public benefit requirement. The activities undertaken to the PCC’s purposes for the public benefit are detailed below.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The trustees believe it prudent to keep sufficient reserves for the following reasons:-
- To ensure the continuation of the level of support from one financial year to another should there be delays in cash flow or sudden withdrawal of funds.
Unrestricted funds stand at £369,253 at 31[st] December 2022. All restricted funds have a surplus balance at the year end. Over the past twelve months the total general income of the Ministry Area was £164,100. This was an increase of £450 on the previous year and means that over the past three years the general income has gone from £347,000 in 2019 to £164,000 at 31[st] December 2022. Total general expenditure in 2022 amounted to £244,000 and a further £1,443 was paid out of restricted funds.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022
I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022, Charity Number 1134392, as set out on pages 2 to 9.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An Examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
Basis of Accounting
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church in Wales Accounting Regulations governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations “true and fair view” provisions, together with FRS 102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied during the year are as listed below.
INCOMING RESOURCES
Recognition of Incoming Resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the Church becomes entitled to the resources.
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the Church has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
Investment Income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Investment Gains and Losses
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022
EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or construction obligation committing the Church to pay out resources.
ASSETS
Tangible Fixed Assets for use by Charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000.
Depreciation
In accordance with FRS 102 as the investment properties cannot be shown at fair value at the balance sheet date without undue cost or effort they are included under property, plant and equipment and depreciated as below:-
Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows:-
Buildings 2% Straight line basis
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Investments include shares in the Church in Wales Common Investment Fund held by the RB in trust for the benefit of the Benefice.
FUNDS
Unrestricted Funds
These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its “free reserves” as disclosed in the trustees’ report.
Restricted Funds
These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Endowment Funds
These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
