Annual Report of the PCC

The members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Mark's Church, Battersea Rise, present their Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 together with Independent Examiner's Report which comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Aim and purposes

St Mark’s Church PCC has the responsibility of working with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church of England, pastoral, evangelistic, ecumenical and social. The PCC also has the maintenance responsibilities for the whole site including the church, the church hall and the church centre.

Objectives and activities

In planning our activities, the PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on the provision of public benefit by charities for the advancement of religion. All of the church’s activities are designed to further our vision which is to see faith rise, the church rise and the city rise. The review of activities, achievements and performance demonstrates how these activities have touched the lives of many from within the church membership and in the local community.

Achievements and Performance

As a result of the third lockdown, service times changed a number of times in the first six months of 2021. This was to make room for social distancing and innovation for families and our ’studio style’ service. Our first live-streamed in-person services started on Easter Sunday. Following the Summer, total service attendance across the day with three main services at 10:30am, 4:30pm and 6:30pm averaged at around 313 people including children and youth. A further 80 people were engaging online through our livestream.

The Alpha Course continued online with a number of guests coming to faith in Jesus. Home Groups continued to meet online and in person.

The church came together for the ‘Focus weekend’ at the end of July for a weekend of worship, teaching and ministry including many social activities for families, children and youth.

St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise

With increasing pressure of rising Covid cases due to the Omicron Variant, a number of Christmas Services were held in person. However these were ticketed to help with social distancing. Attendance at all of these services was about 1,000 people.

Over the year we had a number of well-received preaching series including the book of James and thematic series’ including 'The Spirit Filled Life', 'Heroes of the Faith' and ‘Conversations with Jesus’. Several guest speakers were also welcomed including, Rachel Hughes, Simon Guilebaud, Amy Orr-Ewing and Tim Hughes. Our Christmas Theme was ‘God With Us’, with ticketed in-person services held. These included a Christingle Services with Dolphin Primary School, Carols By Candlelight, Family Nativity, Acoustic Carols, and Carols on the Rise. During December we carried out our ‘Love Christmas’ campaign giving away 2000 'bags of kindness’ to people in our city and the local area. During the year there have been a number of staffing changes which have needed management and resultant recruitment.

Working in partnership with the Junction Community Trust (JCT), our vision to see the City Rise is worked out through two central city transformation activities, namely, Wandsworth Foodbank and Spear Clapham Junction. St Marks provides the venue, operational support and volunteers for both initiatives.

Financial Review

Due to generous giving, we received a total income of £864,798 for the year (£799,078 in 2020). The Finance Committee has monitored the budget closely during 2021 and our total expenditure was £841,680 (£817,990 in 2020). We recorded a small surplus of £23,117 compared to a deficit of £18,912 in 2020. Our unrestricted reserves as at 31 December 2021 are £184,152 (£78,077 in 2020).

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the PCC should undertake.

Reserves Policy

The PCC aims to hold unrestricted reserves to the value of a minimum of three months of expenditure. The reserves are monitored on a monthly basis and reviewed at each Finance Committee Meeting.

Risk Management and Future Plans

During 2021, the Risk Management process continued to identify and document all significant risks to which St Mark’s may be exposed, and ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to mitigate the impact of those risks. Risk is considered in seven categories

Year ended 31 December 2021

St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise

(Ministry, Human Resources, Health & Safety, Facilities, Finance, Information Management & Technology, and External), over both the short term (12 months) and medium term (5 years), with items owned by named staff and PCC members. This structure incorporates Child Protection Policy managed by the Youth and Children’s Pastors, and a robust pastoral structure to address personal ministry issues. Financial risk is managed on a day to day basis by the Finance Manager who reports to the Senior Leadership Team, and overseen by the Finance Committee which normally meets four times a year. A Risk Register is maintained and updated regularly.

At the end of 2020 St Mark's started a programme to refresh its ageing IT software and hardware to mitigate the associated risks. In 2021 we entered a contract with an external IT company to better support the work of St Mark’s church and our related entities.

As the church's vision is to see faith rise, the church rise and the city rise, the priority of the church's finances is to fund the fulfilling of the Great Commission, part of which is the planting of churches.

Building and Facilities Management

There are two boilers: one in the crypt circa 30 years old and one supplying the offices circa 13 years old. Due to increasing annual maintenance costs, work has been undertaken to start the process of finding a suitable boiler replacement for the crypt along with an energy audit.

Structure, governance and management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission under the registered name of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mark's, Battersea Rise (Registered Charity Number 1135080).

Any member of the church, who is on the electoral roll, can be nominated for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. Normally, a balance of new and established members is elected each year and, if necessary, members are co-opted where they have a particular expertise. Newly elected PCC members are provided with an introduction to the responsibilities of being a PCC member and the way in which the PCC operates, at the first meeting of the year. There are a number of established sub-committees which meet between the full meetings of the PCC. These include the Executive Committee, which has the power to transact any business of the PCC between its meetings (subject to any directions given by the PCC), the Board, which oversees the work of the staff team and executes the work of the church week-byweek, the Finance Committee, which oversees the overall financial direction of the church by monitoring income and expenditure, and a number of other groupings which have responsibility for various aspects of the church's pastoral work and which report to the PCC on a regular basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and applicable accounting standard FRS 102.

The financial standards have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 or those that are informal gatherings of Church members.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the PCC. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted 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.

Donations received for specific purposes are treated as restricted funds. The purpose of the restricted funds is shown in Note 11 to the financial statements.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the church is entitled to the income, there is certainty of receipt, and the amount can be reliably measured.

12

Year ended 31 December 2021

St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise

Voluntary income

Voluntary income, including collections, donations, planned giving and income tax recoverable under Gift Aid is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Income from church activities

Parochial fees due to the PCC for weddings, funerals, etc. are accounted for on an event by event basis when they are receivable. Funds raised by events and sales from the church cafe are also accounted for when they are receivable.

Investment income

Investment income, including recoverable tax, is included when receivable.

Deferred income

Income is deferred when donations or event fees are received in advance of the event or period to which they relate.

Going Concern

The members of the PCC continue to review and monitor performance against budget and manage organisational risks. The maintenance of unrestricted net current assets equating to around three months of budgeted expenditure are further evidence that the charity is in a position to continue as a going concern.

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is included in the accounts gross of VAT.

Missionary and charitable giving

The Church’s policy is to give away 10% of its unrestricted voluntary income, for the purpose of missionary and charitable giving. These grants and donations are allocated by the Mission Committee and provision is made at the year end to account for the Church’s stated commitment.

13

Year ended 31 December 2021

St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise

Fixed assets

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements by S10(2) of the Charities Act 2011.

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are considered inalienable property and are capitalised unless consecrated. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off.

Land and buildings

The LandMarks Project building became operational in April 2007 and depreciation is being provided on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life of forty years.

Office furniture, computing and other equipment

Furniture and equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years, as are movable furnishings not requiring a faculty for disposal.

Church audio visual, organ and other equipment

Audio visual equipment and the organ are used within the church premises and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years.

St Mark’s has a close relationship with Junction Community Trust (JCT), the charity which runs Wandsworth Foodbank (WF) and Spear Clapham Junction (SCJ). Certain roles employed by St Mark’s provide services that are shared across these associated organisations. A review of the cost of the shared services used by WF and SCJ was conducted by the PCC and trustees of Junction Community Trust who agreed to contribute £26,197 in 2021 for these staff services. This amount is included in the total above charged to JCT and allocated across WF and SCJ.

During the year the PCC employed an average of 14 staff (2020: 15), all of whom earned less than £60,000 during the year.

St Mark's church benefits from the services of many volunteers who work on a regular or ad hoc basis.
