The PCC:

Partners in the Gospel

The PCC is committed to supporting organisations that have the same core beliefs as Dagenham Parish Church. The PCC continued its 2013 agreement and committed to support the church plant known as Becontree Church.

Local partnerships are enhanced by the church’s continued ecumenical partnership with other local churches as part of the East London Gospel Partnership (ELGP).

We are grateful to the Dagenham Old National School charity for the use of the Minor Hall on Sundays and at various times during the week.

Plans and hopes for 2023

Structure, governance and management

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At DPC, the membership of the PCC consists of the vicar, churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who regularly attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and may 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. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

The full PCC met nine times during the year with an average level of attendance of 90%. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include buildings, finance and outreach are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly.

Administrative information

St Peter and St Paul Church is situated in Church Lane, Dagenham. It is part of the Diocese of Chelmsford within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Vicarage, Church Lane, Dagenham. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission. Charity number: 1134803.

Financial Review

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £114,172.33 of which £12,068.72 was unrestricted voluntary donations, and a further £34,127.96 was from Gift Aid. Restricted donations of £11,410.08 were also received and are detailed in the Financial Statements. The freehold house at 1 Ballards Road continues to be let temporarily, which provided a gross income of £13,200.

£86,607.00 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from SS Peter and Paul, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share that decreased by almost 5% in the year and largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy.

The sum that the churches in the deanery have to find is shared between the churches according to a formula that is based mainly on a head count of the congregations. We have to find more of the sum at SS Peter and Paul as the size of our congregation increased more compared with other churches.

The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £27.565.33 before any transfers on unrestricted funds. The PCC agreed to transfer of £10,000 from the unrestricted to the Assistant Minister Fund designated fund, as new Assistant Minister is starting in 2023. Therefore, a profit of £17,565.33. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31[st] December on unrestricted funds totalled £21,095.45.

Page 5 of 17

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months’ unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £30,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year‐end was £21,095.45 which is lower than this target.

It is our policy to invest the short‐term investment funds balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund, and the reminder in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of SS. Peter and Paul Church Dagenham, Parochial Church Council

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set out on pages 8 and 9.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiners Statement

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 management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or

  3. to prepare accounts, which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2022

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

Assets

Consecrated and benefice property

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory 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 where 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.

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. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts‐ in‐kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalized cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Land Nil
Fixtures & Fittings 20 years
Computers 3 years

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.

An impairment review is carried out at each year‐end and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at PCC’s best estimate of market value.

Short term deposits

Page 10 of 17

These are the cash held on deposit either with the CCLA or at the bank.

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.
