# **ST PAUL’S CHURCH HOOTON 2020 REPORT** 

# **OF THE** 

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

## **ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** 

St Paul’s is situated on Chester Road in Little Sutton, a village eight miles from Childer Thornton and Little Sutton.  The correspondence address for the parish is The Vicarage, Chester Road, Little Sutton CH66 1QF.  The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission.  Registered Charity no. 1134654 

PCC members who have served from 1 January 2020 until the date this report was approved are: 

## **Ex-Officio Members** 

**Incumbent:** Rev Keith Howard _(Chairman)_ **Wardens:** Alex Duffey (from September) Mark Holmes (from September) Jan Barnett (until September) Vivian Langan (until September) **Reader:** Peter Vaughan **Deanery Synod Reps** Judith Howard Bryan McDonald Sarah Wood **Elected Members** Lynne Bergin ( _Secretary)_ David Busfield ( _Treasurer)_ Julie Bulley (from September) Carmel Edwards Anne Hartley Kathleen Hitchmough ( _Assistant Warden)_ Wendy Holmes Jane Sheehy Katie Sykes (from September) Gwendoline Wale Jan Barnett _(Assistant Warden)_ (from September) Viv Langan _(Assistant Warden)_ (from September) Mark Holmes (until September) Alexandra Duffey (until September) Nessie Allsop (until September) Barbara Edwards  (until September) Lyndon Marshall (until September) 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

PCC members are appointed in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.   Membership consists of _ex officio_ members (as listed above) and members elected by those whose names are on the Electoral Roll or live in the Parish. All those who attend our services – and are members of the congregation – are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including finance.  The PCC met five times during the year and the three big issues were firstly, concern over the plant growth on the dome; secondly the enforcement of Coronavirus rules and thirdly the downturn in church finances. The Standing Committee exists to transact the business of the PCC between meetings _._ The Events Planning committee met early in the year but there were no later meetings because of the pandemic. 

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) are fully complied with by the PCC. 

## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** 

The parochial church council (PCC) works with the vicar to promote the mission of the church in the local context.  This work is pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical in nature.  The PCC is responsible for the church building, the 

1 



churchyard around it and the church hall.  We endeavour to communicate our faith and values through word and action, in the creation of a caring Christian community that is outward looking.  As well as providing service to our community in a variety of situations we provide the church hall for various social needs and aspirations. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

At St Paul’s we endeavour to come together to worship God and to build up a Christian community of loving service and care.  2020 has been a very challenging year with Coronavirus causing suspension of worship services for almost four months and the closure of the church hall for social occasions for most of the year but it was used by a slimmer’s group and two commercial toddler groups when permitted.  There was trouble with the church dome and but being unable to put it right due to the restrictions.  There was a marked reduction in overall income.  However we continued to meet for worship as and when the rules permitted; we have been able to raise the funds needed for the dome repairs and the work will be completed in the spring of 2021. 

The statistics show that St Paul’s Electoral Roll rose from 213 at the end of 2019 to 219 in 2020.  There were 14 baptisms and three weddings; 89 adults and children attended Harvest and 103 attended Christmas.  A Memorial Service to remember those who have died was held before the November lockdown.  A most enjoyable and successful golf tournament was made possible with the help of our local golf club in September. 

Social concern for others was shown less by activities this year and more by fundraising when possible. £530 was raised for Forum Housing working with young homeless people. In addition to foodstuffs given to the local Food Bank earlier in the year £275 was raised for them at Harvest.  The Children’s Society boxes raised £739.40. 

## **WORSHIP** 

!n 2020 St Paul’s was profoundly affected by the Coronavirus crisis and the two lengthy periods when all churches had to suspend worship (March – June & November).  We did not opt for online services as it was felt significant numbers of our worshippers would not have access to it.  The policy adopted was that when the rules permitted we met for worship and fellowship in a time of great anxiety and isolation for many people.  When rules permitted there were two Sunday services and a midweek Communion. At other times the church was open when only private prayer was allowed. At all times worship was conducted in accordance with Coronavirus social distancing and hand sanitising rules. 

There were no Easter or Whit services this year.  In the period July to October there was an average of 56 worshippers a week.  Harvest was attended by 93 adults and children.  Following the second lockdown the level of fear and uncertainty reduced the number of worshippers to 38 on an average Sunday.  However 103 adults and children attended the Crib Service and Christmas communion.  There were in addition two Services of Light held in place of the usual Advent carol service which were attended by 117 parishioners. 

Restrictions on church music and singing have resulted in the church choir playing a heightened role in worship, and they have been much appreciated. 

## **WORKS, MAINTENANCE, HEALTH AND SAFETY** 

The Fabric Committee is led by Bill Allsop and Peter Jarvis.  Due to Coronavirus restrictions over the last nine months of the year the full schedule of work could not be carried out.  Fire alarms, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and lightning conductor were all tested and approved.  However the church hall has been closed for all social activities for the best part of nine months and testing of portable electrical equipment in the hall and the heating boiler still need to be done. At the beginning of the year a control panel on the church heating boiler was replaced.  A pressing problem developed inside and outside the church dome with the growth of vegetation on the roof causing the dislodging of small amounts of masonry and ingress of water.  Permission for repair work has been granted and should be done in the spring of 2021. 

Outside the church building benches have been refurbished, various shrubs and saplings have been cut down and the team have when lockdown conditions permitted kept the area around the church cleared and tidied.  Until July the Coronavirus rules did not allow us to attend to the churchyard.  From July until the end of the year considerable help has been received with clearing ditches and grass-cutting from the Community Payback Team.  We are also very grateful to individual volunteers who have helped maintain the churchyard. 

## **Pastoral care** 

Pastoral care has been difficult this year due to the restrictions and the inability to meet directly with people.  There has been a big emphasis on phoning round.  When appropriate the vicar has taken Communion to the housebound. There was one Memorial Service this year, and parishioners were prayed for in services. 

## **Communication** 

The Parish Office was closed for half the year (February – June, then again in November) and Sarah Wood our Office Administrator was furloughed during these times.  All enquiries by phone and email during that time were dealt with by the vicar and Judith Howard.  Communication with the church community and beyond was maintained and in some ways creatively expanded to take into consideration these difficult times.  The Vicar was unable to meet people directly and used the telephone more extensively especially to contact people living on their own.  A new email ‘Parish Link’ was produced with items of devotion and news to keep everyone informed.  This had a circulation of about 70. The Parish Magazine was published 10 times in 2020 and we are most grateful to the increased number of volunteers who 

2 



delivered it around the parish.  It is produced by Keith and Judith Howard with Viv Langan as treasurer.  The ‘A church near you’ webpage was kept up to date as were the various exterior noticeboards.  The Sunday Link continued to appear and for half the year took the place of liturgical booklets in worship. 

St Paul’s hold all appropriate copyright notices from CCLI and fully complies with GDPR legislation about data protection. 

## **Initiation and nurture** 

In 2020 there were three candidates preparing for Confirmation but the Confirmation service had to be cancelled due to Coronavirus.  During the year there were 14 baptisms (this compares with 48 in 2019). 

## **School connections** 

Well established links with Little Sutton C of E School, Parklands, Rossmore and Sutton Green, built up over the years, were difficult to maintain due to the schools being closed to visitors.  Mothering Sunday celebrations with the schools were cancelled with very little notice due to Coronavirus.  However links with Little Sutton school were enhanced by several seasonal online addresses by the Vicar;  the participation of the head teacher in our Service of Light at Christmas;  and pupils writing cards and letters to parishioners, who in turn wrote back to the children.  It was one of the most positive things to come out of 2020.  Gwen Wale also ran a thriving ‘St Paul’s Club’ in the school for much of the year. 

## **Tuesday Toddlers and Sunday Club** 

Gwen Wale is our safeguarding co-ordinator and the PCC are fully informed of our children’s policy.  Tuesday Toddlers is led by Judith Howard and the Sunday Club by Gwen Wale. Both groups met in January and February averaging 10 participants in each group.  Unfortunately they were not able to meet for the rest of the year. 

## **Social Events** 

Due to Coronavirus restrictions the programme of social events was severely curtailed this year.  At the beginning of the year the Events Planning committee put on a walk in Cheshire and a very pleasurable Italian Evening.  In September the Vicar and planning committee with the help of the local Ian Woosnam Golf Academy put together a very popular and successful golf tournament which raised £2,419.50 for church funds.  For most of the year the church hall was closed to social events but was used for part of the time by ‘Slimmers’ World’ and two commercial toddler groups. 

## **Women’s’ Fellowship** 

The Fellowship met once at the beginning of the year for a Beetle Drive in the Hall. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

This met once in 2020 at Thornton Hough.  At the September AGM three members of St Paul’s were elected to represent us in Synod:  Judith Howard, Bryan McDonald and Sarah Wood. 

## **Ecumenical participation** 

St Paul’s hosted a Service of Prayer for Christian Unity in January which was followed by refreshments.  In February there was an ecumenical monthly prayer meeting but the programme for the rest of the year was cancelled as the other church remained closed. Instead material for the prayer meetings was circulated by email to the different churches. Peter Vaughan is our representative on Churches Together.  St Paul’s hosted the local Women’s World Day of Prayer in early March with some children from Little Sutton School taking part. 

## **Volunteers** 

All volunteers are warmly thanked for their contribution to the work and ministry of St Paul’s in this very challenging and difficult year.  Special thanks to the Community Payback Team and individual volunteers for their work in the churchyard over the summer and autumn. 

## **FINANCIAL REPORT 2020** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the publication PCC Accountability 5[th] edition issued by the Archbishops Council. Closure of the church buildings and cessation of fund raising activities brought about by Coronavirus restrictions severely depleted our income and whilst costs were cut wherever possible, major outgoings such as the Parish Share, insurances and inspections could not be reduced so that considerable and damaging losses have been recorded. Total turnover for 2020 was £75,831 a decrease of £26,483 on 2019. Planned Giving and Plate Collections etc. were down £4,867 on the previous year. Donations were reduced by £1,412 and reclaimable tax £1,293. Fund Raising from events was reduced by £3,745 but the major losses were Hall Lettings (-£6,043) and Occasional Fees (-£9,072). 

The cost reductions we were able to apply enabled savings of £6,334, despite yet another major repair to the heating system, but our efforts were insignificant against expenditure for the year totalling £99,186, incorporating the parish share figure of £67,624.  This resulted in an overall loss of £23,355.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL'S, HOOTON** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **For the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

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 (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. 

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). 

## _Voluntary income and capital sources_ 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Funds raised by the fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross. 

## _Other income_ 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due. 

## _Income from investments_ 

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year. 

## **Resources used** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or 

9 



constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

## _Grants_ 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## _Activities directly relating to the work of the Church_ 

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Any parish share unpaid at the year end is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. 

## **Fixed assets** 

## _Consecrated property and movable church furnishings_ 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements by s.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off. 

## _Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment_ 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over four years to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## _Current assets_ 

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank. 

## **Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Going Concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern
