## PCC REPORT Report from Pat McKillop PCC Secretary ## **Administrative Information** St Anne’s Church is situated on Newcastle Avenue, Worksop S80 1NJ and is part of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham within the Church of England. The correspondence address is: The Vicarage, 11 Poplar Close, Worksop, S80 3BZ. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (1135074). ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. PCC members who have served from 4th October 2020 until the date this report was approved are: **Incumbent:** Rev David Gough **Curate:** Rev Richard Hanford **Readers:** Mr Nigel Stones Mrs Lianne Stones (LLM) **Wardens:** Mrs Sarah Prior (1st elected 2018) Mrs Tracey Pink (1st elected 2020) **Treasurer:** Mrs Elizabeth Evans (ex-officio) APCM 21.03.2021 ## **Representatives of the Deanery Synod:** Mrs Philippa Farr (Elected 2020) Mr J Hemshall (Elected 2020) ## **Elected Members:** Mrs S Dawson (Elected 2018) Mrs R Baxter (Elected 2019) Mrs P McKillop (Elected 2019) Mr S Pike (Elected 2019) Mrs AJ Ridout (Elected 2020) Mrs Sarah Wendon (Elected 2020) Mr Matthew Butters (Elected 2020) Mr Peter Beevers (Elected 2020) ## **Objectives and Activities** _**Our Vision:** “To share God’s love and peace in our community”_ _**Our Values:** 1. Jesus at the centre_ _2. Invitational and welcoming_ _3. Wider, younger, deeper_ St Anne’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent and the diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St Anne’s Church Hall. **Achievements and Performance** There are 97 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, of which 68 live in the parish and 29 live outside. Due to the pandemic we are unable to give an average weekly attendance based on figures as the church remained closed for a significant proportion of the year. Viewing figures for online services would suggest about 75% of those who would regularly attend in person were engaging with this content throughout the week and there is anecdotal evidence �13 APCM 21.03.2021 that many more were looking in on an occasional basis or for special services. In terms of services between September and December when we were offering socially distanced services we averaged 28 adults at the 9:30 service, 12 adults at STA@4 and 10 children at Ignite. ## **Services include:** Sunday Holy Communion / Morning Prayer at 8:00am. Sunday Holy Communion/ Prayer and Praise at 10:30am. Service at The Old Vicarage Care Home IGNITE STA@4 ## **Review of the Year** The PCC met 9 times during the year via Zoom. Key items discussed included: - Reading and approving the monthly finance statements and the budget for 2020 - Planning and reviewing social events - Approving and putting in place measures to ensure the Church and Hall met all Covid safe procedures - Reviewing Risk Assessments for groups and activities in particular relating to Covid restrictions - Approving an intern-ship to support children and youth work and develop worship through music - Agreeing the Parish Share payment - Receiving monthly maintenance updates - Reviewing and approving the annual signing off of the Safeguarding Policy �14 APCM 21.03.2021 ## **St Anne’s Church, Worksop - Annual Accounts 2020 The Financial Statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards. Funds are shown as either unrestricted (available for application on the general purposes of the PCC), designated (currently set aside for a particular purpose by the PCC) or restricted (available exclusively for a particular purpose). The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law and do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body. All items less than £500 are deemed immaterial and included as sundries unless they are considered relevant to the reading of the accounts. The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis as required due to the income being less than £250,000. The PCC are very grateful to all who have contributed financially during this difficult year. Your generosity has resulted in the General Fund deficit for the year being close to the amount budgeted at the beginning of the year. The General Fund (3rd page of financial statements) is the fund from which almost all running costs of the Church are paid. This includes Parish Share, staff salaries and expenses, heating, lighting, water, insurance, repairs and maintenance of building and grounds etc. These costs must be paid from income received during the year. If there is a deficit on the General Fund, amounts need to be transferred from the Welham Legacy Fund to cover the deficit, rather than being used for the designated purpose of employing a youth worker. We are extremely grateful for the income received from the Garth Trust once again this year. However, the long-term goal of the PCC is that a substantial portion of the expenses are covered by gifts from members of the congregation. The Garth Trust is an independent trust for the benefit of St Anne’s created in 1971, and has generously supported the work at St Anne’s for many years. The trustees are the Vicar, Mr G R Adams and Mr T Sorby. Hall income was of course greatly reduced due to the pandemic. As many costs are fixed, this resulted in a deficit for the year, and so it was necessary to transfer £2,800 from the General Fund to the Hall Fund. In order to reduce costs, the PCC reluctantly decided that it was necessary to make our cleaner redundant. In 2011, St Anne’s PCC received a generous legacy. After tithing, the sum of £180,000 was invested in a Barclays Wealth investment fund, and the PCC designated the legacy to be used to employ a youth worker. Monies from the Welham Legacy Fund were again used for the intended purpose of employing a youth worker this year. However, due to a General Fund net deficit, £8,000 has had to be transferred to the General Fund to pay for operating expenses. The market value of the Welham Legacy Fund at the end of the year was £153,741, consisting of £100,695 in Barclays Wealth, £38,342 in a CCLA deposit account and £14,704 in a current account with HSBC. The balances of the Fabric Fund and Bell Fund have increased slightly due to investment interest. Both funds are restricted in that the funds are for the sole purpose of maintenance of the Church and the Church bells respectively. There are no current plans for further expenditure from either fund. The balance in the Grants Fund consists of unspent amounts from grants from the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham and from Nottinghamshire County Council. The remaining grant funds will be spent in future years. In summary, we have weathered a difficult year, but operating reserves continue to be at an absolute minimum level. The PCC is continuing to monitor this situation and pray that money may be spent wisely, and that members of the congregation will continue to give generously and regularly, so that God’s work at and through St Anne’s Church will not be hindered by financial needs. ## **Reserves Policy** The PCC policy is to ensure that the balance on unrestricted funds equates to at least six months payments from these funds. Total payments from unrestricted funds in 2020 were £92,864 from the General Fund and £11,395 from the Hall Fund. Therefore the target for 2021 is to have a minimum balance of £52,130 in the unrestricted funds. The money in the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund managed by CCLA currently earns 0.224% pa. The funds in the 2 Shires Credit Union account earned 0.25% pa in 2020. �16 APCM 21.03.2021 Sl Anne's Church, Worksop Financial Statements for year ending December 31, 2020 cei ts and Pa ments A nt mm Unrostrtc¢ed D￿Ignated Ilestrlctsd Endo¥ffl￿ Total Fundg FurKIs Funds Funds 2020 (General, HaHI (Welharnl (Bells, Fabr￿.
