**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF** 

## **ST JAMES, HILL, SUTTON COLDFIELD** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

## **AIMS AND PURPOSES** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Revd. Daniel Ramble, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church Centre complex of St. James, Hill (Mere Green). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St. James. 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. 

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.   In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. Missionary and outreach work. 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. James and The Church Centre complex. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## _**Worship and Prayer**_ 

_The PCC are keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. This year due to the pandemic, the regular rhythm of prayer life has to move online and evolve in both online and in person services.  For example, for the first three months of the year, Sunday 8am the_ _**“Traditional One”** ; Sunday 10 am services The_ _**“Family One”** ; the evening services the_ _**“Quiet One.”** Our midweek Wednesday 10.30am services the_ _**“Community One”.** Every fifth Sunday a café church_ _**“One Service”** ; were offered.  During the pandemic the online Sunday services grew from strength to strength, with nearly 500 people viewing our Sunday services on average._ 

_This year we also offered online Messy Church, which attracts young families and provides a forum for fellowship and hospitality for adults and children alike._

## **ANNUAL REPORT (CONT’D)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present, there are 175 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, with 31 names being added and 9 removed, 6 of whom sadly have died. 

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the Milestone of the journey through life. 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 and give thanks for the life which is now completed in this world and to commend the person into God’s keeping. This occasional office had very limited outreach during pandemic, but with significant increase in funeral ministry. 

Our Compassion Project – “Hope for Sutton Project” has expanded exponentially as a separate CIO, and raised nearly £195k for the community outreach in supporting families struggling with food poverty during pandemic. 

We had to press pause to live singing in March 2020 due to the pandemic, but with recent “Sing St James” initiative, we are again building up the confidence of our choir members under the leadership of Andrew Clayton, Director of Music and Rachel Cooper, as Honorary Director of Young Voices. We plan to extend our Music Ministry in School under Hope choir work funded by Big Lottery funds. The server’s ministry was very limited during pandemic, but under the leadership of Iain Mitchell, our head server, this ministry will again grow after the pandemic. 

## _**Deanery Synod:**_ 

Three members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church and new People and Places framework, which is introduced this year. This year the PCC has also focused its attention on the Church redevelopment scheme, which will make Church building more inclusive and welcoming in coming years. 

## _**The Church Centre Complex**_ 

Much of our outreach is supported by our Church Centre and Hope café where people can meet in a relaxed environment. This ministry was greatly impacted by the pandemic, hence we had to let go of our staff team. But the use of Church centre by Hope for Sutton CIO has given an essential income to cover all the overheads. Many previous users are very keen to come back to the Church centre, once we have new normal where we can keep our users and partners covid safe. 

## _**Pastoral Care**_ 

Our link with Mills Court, Pegasus Court and Mercia Grange remains active even during the pandemic. We supported many residents at Mills court, with fresh fruits, flowers and Cards, which they can share with other residents.  Dr. Paul Giles has been supporting Pegasus Court residents, and Mercia Grange residents have been viewing our Sunday services on a large screen every Sunday.

## **ANNUAL REPORT (CONT’D)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

The Uniform Support Network work was also put on hold in person, with majority of uniform activities taking place on Zoom or other online platforms. The Scouts leaders very helpful and instrumental in distribution of leaflets and newsletters for the residents of Mere Green and Four Oaks. 

During pandemic, Reverend Judith, offered more than 10,000 pastoral conversations on Phone and Reverend Daniel offered Vicar’s Surgery to nearly 500 residents in Mere Green and Four Oaks. Members of Ministry team and MU also offered pastoral care as and when required. 

## _**Mission & Evangelism:**_ 

As Bishop David & Bishop Anne suggest, “In every generation we are called to live and proclaim the good news of Jesus in new ways, as we pray for more and more confident, Christians. People and Places (P&P) is our expression of this for today’s generation. Although there are presenting challenges (such as finance and vocations) P&P seeks to help us to be faithful to God’s constant call to reach and serve individuals and communities with Jesus’ saving love.” We are very keen to participate and pursue this mission opportunity. 

Under the new People and Places framework, Parish began the engagement with Transforming Church Mission Plan of building on the vision of “Inclusive Church ~ Inclusive Community ~ Inclusive Compassion.” 

Our Parish Magazine distributed was paused and Bi Monthly Newsletter was issued from August 2020. 

## _**Ecumenical Relationships:**_ 

The church is a member of Churches Together in Four Oaks. 

Our two joint events – the Good Friday Walk of Witness service and Carol Singing Outside M&S were postponed due to pandemic. 

We continue to work and find ways of supporting all churches within the Four Oaks Church Together. One of the big achievements was supporting all church together members who were lonely and isolated with nearly 1000 Christmas meals, via Hope for Sutton CIO. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The statement of financial activities provides full disclosure of all receipts and payments for the year to the 31[st] December, 2020. The net result for the year is a deficit of receipts over payments of £42,353, which leaves a balance to carry forward at 31[st] December 2020 of £918,912 as shown in the financial statements.

## **ANNUAL REPORT (CONT’D)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments, equivalent to approximately £40,000 and to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.   The balance held on unrestricted funds, after designations, at the year-end has been specifically accumulated to provide sufficient funds for church fabric repairs that are expected to be in excess of £100,000 

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular, we want to mention our churchwardens Ms. Margaret Nicholls, Mrs. Sue Cutler and Ms. Renu Samuel who have worked tirelessly on our behalf, Mrs. Janet King who has helped us all to understand the Church’s accounts and its finances, and all the other members of the PCC for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church growing. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The PCC of St James, Hill, Sutton Coldfield is Charitable Unincorporated Organisation constituted under the parochial church council powers measure (1956) as amended and church representative rules. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.

All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. 

The full PCC met 6 times during the year with an average level of attendance of 80%. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of Sub – groups (sub- committees) each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These sub groups cover worship, mission and outreach and fabric and finance, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with minutes of their deliberations being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JAMES, HILL, SUTTON COLDFIELD** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies** 

## **a)  General information and basis of preparation** 

The PCC of St James, Hill, Sutton Coldfield is an unincorporated charity in England and wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information page of these financial statements. 

The principal activity is the advancement of religion, covering those things which are part of the normal activity of a Parish Church. 

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 £1. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing them in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), SORP FRS102, the Charities Act 2011 and with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006. 

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

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. 

## **b)  Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Planned giving receivable under gift aid is recognised on when received.  Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is received. 

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property.  It includes dividends, interest and rent.  Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established. 

## **c)  Expenditure recognition** 

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 where there is a legal or 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.  It is categorised under the following headings: 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes note 3; and 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above. 

9 



**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JAMES, HILL, SUTTON COLDFIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. 

## **d)  Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## **e)  Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.  The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.  The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.  The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity. The endowment fund has limited use for the income produced so that it has been included in this category. 

## **f)  Tangible Fixed Assets** 

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the church** 

Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from the government or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance Sheet at cost and depreciated over their expected useful economic life.  Where there are specific conditions attached to the funding requiring the continued use of the asset, the related grants are credited to a restricted fixed asset fund in the Statement of Financial Activities and carried forward in the Balance Sheet.  Depreciation on the relevant assets is charged directly to the restricted fixed asset fund in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: 

Land Nil Fixtures, fittings and equipment 10 years Buildings for church use 50 years 

10 



**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JAMES, HILL, SUTTON COLDFIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020** 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable.  Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Consecrated and benefice property** 

In so far as the consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements. 

## **Moveable church furnishings** 

These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than when insufficient cost information is available.  In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church’s inventory in any case. 

## **g)  Fixed Asset Investments** 

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs.  Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. 

## **h)  Current Asset Investments** 

Current asset investments are short term highly liquid investments and are held at fair value. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of less than one year. 

## **i)  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. 

## **j) Debtors** 

Debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.  Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discount due. 

## **k) Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount allowing for any trade discount due.

The house in Dower Road, originally acquired for use by the curate, is let via agents and considered an investment property.  This has been revalued in effect as at 31[st] December 2017 by the Standing Committee using freely available information from the internet and local knowledge.  This value has no changed materially since 31[st] December 2015 when first applied to produce these FRS102 accounts for the first time.  It was not considered necessary to obtain a professional valuation. 

The Church Centre and car park has been included at deemed cost using the cost of the building less depreciation as from 2008, earlier costs including that for land are not known.  The Centre and car park have mixed use with very little separation of facilities that are let/hired and are used by church groups. Consequently, it is considered that the fair value of the investment property component cannot be measured reliably without due cost and effort.  The entire property should be accounted for as property within tangible fixed assets
