ST MARY BARNES PCC
Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) for the year ending 31 December 2020
Aims and Purposes
St Mary’s PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting in the parish the mission of the Church of England, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
It is also responsible for the maintenance of the church of St Mary’s, Barnes and the church hall, Kitson Hall, in Kitson Road, Barnes.
Administrative information
St Mary’s Church is situated in the centre of Barnes. It is part of the diocese of Southwark within the Church of England and is one of the three churches in the Barnes Team Ministry. They comprise a single benefice, under a Team Rector, who is responsible for one church (at present St Mary’s). Team Vicars are appointed to each of the other two churches. Each church has a separate PCC and financial accounts. The correspondence address is St Mary’s Church Office, Church Road, Barnes, London SW13 9HL.
Structure, governance and management
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure. It is registered with the Charity Commission under number 1134840.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and, subject to registration, to stand for election to the PCC. PCC members who served during the year are listed in the annex to this report; in view of the restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, existing members of the PCC continued to serve through 2020. The total of donations to the PCC by PCC members and persons related to them amounted to £28,610 during 2020.
Reporting to the PCC are a Standing Committee, committees for Communications, the Environment, Financial Review, Fabric (the condition of the church building); Faith in Action (away giving), the Kitson Hall (management and promotion of community use), and an advisory council which manages the Friends of St Mary’s. These groups have certain executive functions but need PCC approval for strategic matters and expenditure of funds above delegated limits.
Major risks to which the PCC is exposed, as identified by the PCC members, are reviewed periodically and systems or procedures established to manage those risks. Key issues include the security of income streams, social distancing, the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults, and the soundness of the fabric of the buildings.
Objectives and activities
In planning our activities the PCC considers the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
The PCC seeks to welcome and support people of all ages and Christian traditions, including our established congregation, newcomers and visitors. We serve the local community by organising activities and events that bring people together for a variety of purposes.
Achievements and performance
2020 was a year like no other. Starting with Mothering Sunday the church building was closed completely during the first coronavirus lockdown, reopening first for private prayer in June and for socially distanced services in July. In the second lockdown in November services in the church discontinued but we remained open for prayer, with services commencing again for Advent & Christmas. We have been reminded how special it is to have the church, open daily, and church garden as spaces where anyone can come and do business with God, or simply be somewhere other than stuck at home.

Almost overnight we discovered “online church”! Services were regularly recorded together with live streaming of morning prayer. The website was substantially developed to be the hub of church communication. The paper pew sheet became a weekly email, together with other direct mailings. Our social media presence significantly expanded, particularly through use of Instagram. We quickly learned to use Zoom for a whole range of meetings, both administrative and for study groups.
Along with the church building & garden, and going online, the third leg of the covid-stool was keeping the bonds of fellowship going with congregation and wider community. An expanded group of pastoral callers made phone contact with everyone on our lists during the first lockdown to check they were ok. Through these and informal contact there have been countless acts of kindness in support of one another and neighbours. The church linked up with other local agencies to provide support in the community, and many individuals volunteered for FiSH, CCP and other projects.
Gratitude is due to everyone who enabled the work of the church to be maintained and indeed flourish. It is impossible to name everyone, but alongside those named below particular thanks go to our PCC, churchwardens Fouki Heller and Philip Bladen, and administrator Cheryl Cole.
Worship
Before the pandemic struck the highlight of worship was the BBC Radio 4 Sunday morning service broadcast from St Mary’s in February at which Bishop Richard Harries preached on caring for God’s creation and with a solo from BBC Young Chorister of the Year Anna Haestrup. As noted above we have maintained a mix of services in church when possible and online throughout. Online services provide an opportunity to connect with new congregations and for people to have a look at what the church offers in an easy way. A challenge post lockdown will be maintaining a good online presence alongside being back in church. Our proposed investment in live streaming facilities will help enable this.
For obvious reasons the number of baptisms, weddings and funerals was lower than in a usual year. We had good attendances at Christmas services but social distancing restricted numbers at services to about 60 each. We started to make more use of the churchyard for services at Remembrance and carol singing before Christmas and intend to do this more in the future, also in keeping with our environmental commitment.
Thank you to the many people who enable worship to take place, including sacristans, servers, readers, intercessors, musicians, cleaners, stewards (sidespeople), those filming and editing for online, and of course our Lay Readers Christabel Gairdner and Geoffrey Barnett, Bishop Richard Harries and Revd Sister Margaret Anne.
Children and Young people
The start of the pandemic coincided with appointing our new part-time Children’s Worker Jackie Davis and Youth Worker Julie Smith. It has been a challenging start for both as it has been impossible to meet in person with children, young people and families for much of the year. However Jackie and Julie have done a great job in overcoming these hurdles with a mix of Zoom groups and activities such as the Nativity Trail before Christmas. Because the normal nativity play could not be performed in church Alison Macmillan worked tirelessly in leading the filming and editing of a nativity film instead. This was a great way of involving children and families, filming at home or in the hall, and the film was shown at our Christmas Eve afternoon services and of course online. We had a good confirmation group over the summer leading to five young people being confirmed at St Michael’s Barnes by the Bishop of Southwark in October.
Music
The lack of live music and ban on congregational singing has been a real sadness. As mentioned earlier, the Radio 4 service in February provided a great showcase for St Mary’s choir and scholars, overseen by Henry Chandler our Director of Music. In between lockdowns there was also the Friends of St Mary’s annual Choral Evensong also featuring performances from Barnes Young Musicians of the Year.
While it has not been possible for the choir to meet for much of the year, our very talented scholars have enabled music to continue in our online services and at services where the congregation has not been allowed to sing. St Mary’s bellringers have kept in close touch during lockdown and have used the wonders of technology to keep ringing together online. We look forward to our adult and junior choirs being able to sing together again, and a return to congregational singing later in 2021.

Pastoral care, welcome and hospitality
The vital work of the pastoral group in providing pastoral care has already been highlighted. The newly formed communications group has also been behind many of the online initiatives to maintain our sense of welcome and hospitality which would otherwise have happened in person. Sadly, very few hospitality events were possible. A major event worldwide in 2020 was the soul-searching about how to achieve true racial equality in the light of the death of George Floyd in the USA in the summer. A group has been formed to build on the diversity of those leading and preaching at services, and to enhance an inclusive welcome in all aspects of church life.
Learning and discipleship
We started the year with the ‘Start’ Christian enquirers course and had an enjoyable group who shared very honestly with one another as we sought to deepen our faith together. Two adults were confirmed at Southwark Cathedral in February and another adult at St Michael’s Barnes in October. Zoom worked well as a way of getting together for study groups, and over the year we had a series on key moments in the Acts of the Apostles; the Letter to the Philippians; and on God’s care for his creation. The home groups have also kept their activities going through email and other online contact.
Serving and community events
Many in the congregation served the community in 2020 by volunteering with local groups to help those in need during the pandemic. Alongside the suffering of the year it was heartening to see the generosity of response to neighbours and community in Barnes - real signs of the kingdom of God and Holy Spirit in action!
As mentioned below we have continued to support charitable activities through Under Tree Schools in South Sudan, Castlenau Community Project, FiSH, Glass Door, Richmond Welcare, Age UK Barnes Green Day Centre, and through our support for Christian Aid Week and the Bishop of Southwark’s Lent Call. Charitable giving totaled £15,967, but the Ball raised a further corporate donation of £11,500 to be given directly to our nominated charities by the donor.
The PCC reviewed the Mission Action Plan and identified the main outstanding priority which is to enhance our care for God’s creation. As a result an Environment Group was formed and this has started work looking at our buildings and church garden, our worship, lifestyle and wider community engagement. An audit showed many actions which have already been taken, but that we have much further to go, as seek to contribute to the urgent need to combat climate change.
Financial Review
The independent examiner of the accounts is Alastair Cameron FCA. The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis under section 132 of the Charities Act 2011.
Income is recognised on receipt of funds, on issuance of an invoice, or on making a claim for Gift Aid for the period. Expenses are accrued as incurred, when an invoice is received, or as anticipated by the PCC.
The Church’s main bank account is with CAF Bank Ltd. whose clearing arrangements are with HSBC. We retain an account with NatWest Bank to enable occasional cash drawings. Temporary surpluses in our funds are held in a deposit account with CAF Bank; our longer-term reserve is held with Shawbrook Bank in a 60-day notice account paying 0.8% p.a. (originally brought to our attention by CAF Bank); this may well be the maximum prudent return available for cash.
Our 2016 investment of £50,000 in the CCLA COIF Charity Investment Fund had grown by end 2020 to £76,699. It should be remembered that this includes dividends for the past four years. The fund currently provides a yield of 2.97% p.a., and has a very respectable 10-year track record of capital growth. The units in the fund are redeemable on demand.
The chief item of expenditure, £180,000, was our contribution to the Diocesan Parish Support Fund (the parish’s “fairer shares” payment to the diocese) which provides the stipends, pensions and housing of diocesan clergy. Our contribution is roughly equivalent to the overall cost of two and a half stipendiary clergy. The remaining expenditure was incurred to provide the Christian ministry of St Mary’s Church, by addressing the PCC objectives. This has included the remuneration of the parish’s part-time staff, office expenses, utility bills, costs of worship and music, charitable donations and maintenance of the church.

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £262,778 and on restricted funds £133,536. Both figures show a significant reduction on 2019 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The principal source of funds was giving by members of the congregation, which rose substantially in response to an appeal headed by the Rector, and we were able to supplement this by a receipt of £28,353, being accumulated rents from our share of 52 Boileau Road. By contrast, our income from events, weddings and hire of the church was, unsurprisingly, severely diminished, but there was likewise a large reduction in our expenses which (excluding our Parish Share) fell from £78,146 in 2019 to £55,821 last year.
The Kitson Hall was also badly affected by the pandemic, and closed or partly closed for much of the year. Despite this, given some reduction in costs, we were able to record a surplus of £9,776, all of which was transferred to the Youth Fund.
During the year the Friends’ fund was required to cover no projects of substance, but did meet some £14,806 of routine expenses - cleaning and maintenance of the church and churchyard, and church utility bills. As a result of improved net income from the Charity Ball and various other events, the fund grew to £60,802, which will be adequate to cover planned capital projects during 2021.
An important feature of the year was that we were able to avail ourselves of the assistance provided by the government Job Retention Scheme, which provided relief to the General, Kitson Hall and Youth Funds to the extent of £17,050, enabling us to continue paying full salaries to our four part-time employees. These receipts have been offset against salary costs.
There was a deficit of income versus expenditure in unrestricted funds, taking account of all transfers and the gain on our investment, of £3,794, while restricted funds grew by £10,860.
Reserves policy
The PCC continued during 2020 the reserve policy for the General Fund agreed in 2018, namely a figure of £120,000. The Kitson Hall Reserve Fund has been maintained at the agreed figure of £35,000. The General Fund reserve is to cover unexpected emergencies, loss of major income, new mission projects during 2021/22, and unforeseen operational costs, while the Kitson Hall fund covers mainly loss of major hirers (income is very concentrated) and unplanned repairs. The reserves policies for both funds are reviewed regularly.
No decisions have been made as to appropriate reserve levels in any of the restricted funds.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the members/trustees of St Mary’s Church Barnes PCC
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 which are set out on pages 1 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent 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
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s 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 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 audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention
-
which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
To prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
-
to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
