PCC'S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The PCC present s it’s report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the PCC's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

The PCC's objects are to cooperate with the vicar, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, ecumenical and social.

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

Achievements and performance Church Attendance

At the APCM held in September 2021 there were 123 names on the Electoral Roll (123 in 2020, 129 in 2019, 201 in 2018, and 182 in 2017). There was a full review of the Electoral Roll in 2019.

The number of adults (those aged 16 and over) attending services on a normal Sunday was 60 and the number of those aged under 16 was on average 15. This number increased significantly for Christmas and Easter services. All our services were streamed online via Youtube. The number of adults (those aged 16 and over) attending services on a normal Sunday was 93 in 2019 and the number of those aged under 16 was on average 19 in 2019.

Review of the year

As if 2020 had not been challenging enough, the pandemic and its massive repercussions for everyday life continued into 2021. We did not reopen for “in person” services until Easter Day on 4th April 2021. As the national vaccination programme progressed and people began to feel less worried about the consequences of catching Covid, we saw a steady return in numbers attending services in person. We continued to live stream the main Sunday morning services for which a significant demand remained.

It is clear that for many people the habit and frequency of churchgoing had changed not only at St John’s, but across the whole country. Many people continued to see advantages in “attending” church via the live stream rather than in person for reasons other than avoiding Covid. Whilst numbers watching the stream live fell once “in person“ were reinstated, we noted that significant numbers continued to watch the stream during the course of a Sunday. It is generally agreed across the Church of England that live streaming is valuable in its own right and should continue as part of the way churches offering their services.

Lockdown left a very considerable backlog of postponed baptisms and weddings which was cleared during 2021. Thanks are due to the baptism visitors team and especially to Allison Kandiah for taking on the administration of baptisms. A number of funerals took place at St John’s during the year. It is clear that a number of people became “in person” worshippers at St John’s after following the live streams during lockdown and periods of restriction.

Things have necessarily changed at St John’s, but we continue to find ways of adjusting to our new and changeable situation beyond simply aspiring to reinstate the way things were before the pandemic. We have learned lessons about mission and community and also about the role of the church in offering hope to God’s people when times are dark and uncertain. One key lesson we have learned is that people continue to seek spiritual comfort during times such as these and we must therefore ensure that we are present for them in whatever form that may have to take.

THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, REDHILL

PCC'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

We continued to develop our use of “WhatsApp” to encourage community and group cohesion within the church and improve internal communications. “Zoom” has remained an essential means of meeting for the parish. PCC met five times during the year and received written reports from committees. We are grateful to Patricia Barrett for her work as Electoral Roll Officer.

The APCM took place on 25th April 2021. At the APCM there were a small number of changes to those on the PCC. At the Meeting of Parishioners prior to the APCM Caroline Lamont was re- elected and Andrew Moffat was elected as our Church Wardens. I am most grateful to our Churchwardens, PCC, Standing Committee, Finance Team, PCC Treasurer Wayne Ives and PCC secretary David Reed and to our deputy wardens for their hard work over a demanding year.

WORSHIP

Changes have continued to the way we worship in response to altered circumstances. Communion was received in one kind only during the year and refreshments after the main morning service had to be put into abeyance. Our technical proficiency with streaming and sound system technology continued to grow over the year as these systems were and continue to be upgraded.

The monthly pattern for the 10:30am service continued throughout the year. Due to the pressure of so many other activities in which they are involved, 2nd Reigate and 32nd Meadvale Scouts decided they would in future attend church only for Harvest, Mothering Sunday and Remembrance. BCP Holy Communion and BCP Evening Prayer were reintroduced on 5th September at the revised times of 8.30am and 5.00pm after consultation with some of those who regularly attended those services. By the end of the year we had seen a reasonable recovery in attendance allowing for natural losses.

During lockdown our Director of Music, Clement Hetherington and Band Leader, David Wilde went to very great lengths to electronically combine individual recordings produced by Choir and Band members enabling us to enjoy music as part of our increasingly restricted experience of worship. The Choir and Band continued to uplift our worship under Clement and David’s leadership in very challenging circumstances. A thriving Junior Choir has been established by Clement Hetherington after running a workshop largely attended by children from St John’s School towards the end of 2021.

We were delighted to welcome Robert Cooper as our new organist early in the year. Robert has longstanding family connections and is very familiar with St John’s. Robert has also taken on responsibility for managing the maintenance and upkeep of the organ for which I am most grateful.

Children’s work was necessarily curtailed during the year, but interest and attendance was greatly encouraged by Jo Hales who issued weekly challenges to the children of the church and became more involved in helping to run the Family Communion services. The Good Friday Workshop was held virtually using “Zoom”.

St John’s School, Earlswood School and Dunottar School recorded their Christmas carol services at St John’s due to restrictions. The Orpheus Centre Carol Concert was held at St John’s once again and “in person”. We were pleased to host East Surrey Hospital’s annual memorial service for departed loved ones which was well attended “in person”.

At the request of the archdeacon, the vicar of Salfords and I are liaising to find ways of working together. This led to the first Christingle Service at St John’s (not to be confused with the Crib Service) for many years. This included a special appearance by St Nicholas enthusiast, Revd Dr Jim Rosenthal the new Vicar of Salfords and was well attended. This will now become part of our regular Christmas offering.

I am very grateful to the Reverend Phil Bradshaw who continued to preach on 3rd Sundays and to Stephen Young who served regularly at the Parish Communion even when not open for “in person” worship. Matthew Parkes’ training as a Reader has continued and should be completed mid 2022. One member of the congregation continues the process of vocational discernment with the diocese.

THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, REDHILL

PCC'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Thanks are due to Christopher Claxton Stephens for compiling the Intercessors rota, John Verity for the Readers rota and Ruth Foss-Smith for the Family Service rota. Thanks are also due to Christine Elliott for Weddings administration, Anne Rueff for arranging for statutory fees to be sent to the Diocese, Yvonne Irving for being our weddings verger, to Ray Mandair for the Mowing rota, to Vicky Hutton for running the flowers team and to all the Sidespeople.

SAFEGUARDING

Kate Blamire-Brown stood down as one of our safeguarding officers during the year and was succeeded by Ruth Foss-Smith working with Sarah Ashworth. Our thanks go to them all. There were no serious safeguarding incidents reported during the course of the year. See the attached Safeguarding report.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

Throughout the year we continued to offer Covid support to our community and assisted with related pastoral matters. In particular, thanks are due to Stephen Young for continuing to oversee our Covid19 Volunteer Project. Our new relationship with VARB (Voluntary Action Reigate & Banstead) continues to develop well under Stephen’s guidance.

PASTORAL WORK

The pastoral ministry team continues to meet regularly, to visit and support members of the congregation. We need to expand the group and extend its work to include regular bereavement visiting. If you feel you may be called to assist in this form of ministry, please speak to the vicar.

CONFIRMATIONS

Confirmation classes were held for two adults and two teenagers during the year, all of whom were then confirmed.

CHILDREN’S & YOUNG PEOPLE’S MINISTRY

Our Junior Church WhatsApp group continued to keep children connected to Church and grew in membership. Junior Church continued to write and deliver the intercessions and readings for second Sunday Family Communion Services. Further details are available in the attached Children’s Ministry Group report. A new group for school years 7 to 9 started towards the end of the year led by Catherine Browne and Sarah Walters. One of their first events was a fireworks night and barbecue at the Vicarage. Our thanks are due to Catherine and Sarah for this initiative.

MAGAZINE

Our new quarterly magazine, “A View from St John’s” was launched in the Autumn. It is edited and produced by Caroline Jones and Caroline Faries and it is a fantastic asset to the parish for which we are grateful to them both. It is hoped to develop paid advertising in time to contribute to church funds.

ECO-CHURCH

In September 2021 a meeting was held with interested parties including 2nd Reigate Scouts, church members and local community members to further our intention to become an Eco- Church, led by Ian Lamont. We are now registered as such with A Rocha UK.

SPARKFISH COLLABORATION

Following discussions St John’s and Sparkfish formed a partnership to provide a lunchtime club at St John’s School for Year 6 to help prepare for their transition to secondary school. This will be funded using restricted grant monies received from Southwark diocese in 2019 for our youthwork. This will strengthen our relationship with the school.

PCC'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

EVENTS

It was not possible to hold social events during the year because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Philippa and Patrick Moyle organised a reduced plant sale for which we are grateful. Profit was shared between the church and Christian Aid.

CHURCH FABRIC

The Buildings Management Group (Caroline Lamont, Mike Genge and Patrick Moyle) handed responsibility to Facilities Manager, Kevin Armstrong and the staff team for compiling a report on our three buildings for each Standing Committee. Necessary maintenance work continued on the Church, Church Centre and Meadvale Hall. See attached Fabric and Buildings Management Group reports.

COMMUNITY CENTRE

Despite limitations of the pandemic, the Community Centre functioned well and generated a good turnover thanks to the work of Parish Operations Manager, Sarah Ashworth and the staff team. The Hirings Committee consisting of Sarah Ashworth, Anne Rueff and Jerry Taylor is to be congratulated for such a great result. I am most grateful to them all for stepping up to the challenge as I continue to progressively withdraw from active involvement in the management and running of the Centre.

VICAR’S SABBATICAL

My planned 3 month sabbatical had to be postponed because of restrictions on travel. I hope it will be possible to take it in September, October and November 2022. Revd Phil Bradshaw and Revd John Scott have kindly agreed to take the services in my absence, for which I am most grateful.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2022 AND BEYOND

I wrote last year that we must remember that getting back on our feet may be a long journey. We are doing well, but we must also be realistic that St John’s Church has been vulnerable like every other charity and church to severe loss of income over the last two years. Our finances were not in a good state before the impact of the pandemic.

This leaves us with two challenges for the coming year.

  1. We must continue to build on the experience of learning new ways of operating during pandemic restrictions and ensure that what we offer as a church meets the needs of our community – otherwise they will not be likely to support St John’s or join our congregation.

  2. We must recognise the need for every person or family to support the church financially as well as with time and talents, and we must all review our giving every year to ensure it is at a realistic level. That level is a matter for each of us to determine for ourselves prayerfully, based on our own income, needs and expenditure.

St John’s remains at the heart of our community and continues to enjoy the affection of many of those who live in the area. Finance follows Faith and not the other way around. So, we must learn to reach out in new ways to grow our regular, committed congregation.

Our recovery to financial sustainability will not be quick and it will not be easy, but I am convinced that it is entirely possible for us to transform our finances so that we can concentrate on what church is fundamentally about, if we all resolve to take our share of responsibility and play an active part in our church’s life.

PCC'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial review

Throughout 2021 we remained subject to ongoing uncertainties around COVID, which contributed to a slow Q1 still subject to national restrictions, and Q4. However COVID’s impact on revenue was less acute than 2020, particularly over the summer, and the hall hiring team and Parish Operations Manager have been highly successful at bringing back hirers and identifying new ones to ensure the space is used at peak capacity. We will continue to monitor the balance of payments for the outgoings necessary to run the hall (cleaning, facilities management, utilities etc) against the income generated and will review costs accordingly.

Planned giving remained fairly static (a small rise over the year from £48k to £51k). Looking forward, this will need to increase at a greater level in order to keep up with costs, particularly as the church aims to return to a place where we can meet the indicative parish pledge levels set by the diocese. The establishment of a stewardship committee was stalled over the year by wider pressure on volunteers, but a chair has been identified to lead this from mid-2022, if not before. The PCC-agreed transition to the Parish Giving scheme for regular donations should provide a further opportunity to raise income and to regularise gift aid.

A new ECO Church drive has been launched, with a restricted fund established for donations.

In December 2020 the church received an extremely generous anonymous loan from a parishioner which was recorded in the 2020 accounts. After further discussion the donor expressed the wish to convert the loan to a donation. Per their intentions, we have used that to pay down outstanding arrears and maintain pace with our parish pledge. This was not a legally recoverable or accountable debt, but a moral one that the PCC felt strongly we needed to meet in order to uphold our responsibilities as a member of the diocese and to support other churches in our area. As set out in last year’s reports, the diocese has agreed to write-down the balance of debt on the basis that we settled arrears and paid our 2020 pledge in full, which we managed to do. The final payment on our arrears will be made in Q1 FY 2022, ending this obligation.

The settling of our Parish Support Fund obligation, drawing on funds donated in the previous financial year, explains the higher level of outgoings than revenue. We recorded c. £25k additional outgoings to the diocese from this donation on top of our £62k annual pledge.

However, it is worth recording that without the backstop offered by that donation, the PCC would not have been able to meet its regular pledge obligations in full in FY 2021 and this donation provided the cushion that allowed us to absorb another year where outgoings outstripped income. However, the balance of payments has continued to take significant steps in the right direction notwithstanding the legacy impact of covid and the more than doubling of our parish pledge from £24,767 in 2020 to £62,204 in 2021. All payments were met. Without further pandemic disruption and with a further giving drive in 2022, we hope and expect the church’s balance to shift into the black within the year.

Reserves Policy

The church has maintained its reserves position from FY 2020, maintaining a modest but useful cash balance in our operational accounts to absorb shocks. However, as set out above the church had to draw on our 2020 donation to meet our annual Parish Support Fund obligations and consequently have not been able to repurpose the balance into a cash reserve as aspired two in last year’s accounts. The aspiration for 2022 is to create a reserve separate to our operating budget sufficient to at least four weeks of averaged legally recoverable expenditure by FY end.

The PCC assessed the major risks to which the PCC was exposed and was satisfied that systems were in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, REDHILL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

St John the Evangelist, Redhill is a Parochial Church Council.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the PCC's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The PCC is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The PCC has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The accounts 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 a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the PCC have a reasonable expectation that the PCC has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the PCC continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the PCC.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the PCC has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as incoming resources when receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement. Income tax refunds are recognised at the same time as the income to which they relate. Grants are recognised when the PCC is entitled to the income.

THE PCC OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, REDHILL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Deferred income arises when the PCC is in receipt of income that relates to a future period.

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities and the resulting expenditure are recognised when either a legal or constructive obligation is recognised.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life .

Land and buildings Impairment review and 2% straight line on buildings Plant and machinery straight line over 4 years IT/ AV equipment straight line over 3 years

Freehold land and assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/ (expenditure for the year , unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the PCC is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

This fund was established in 2011 and is for building a new hall. The proceeds from the sale of the Parochial Hall (which was held in Endowment Funds) have been transferred to this fund.

In order to mitigate a predicted temporary shortage of working capital for the New Hall, the PCC approved a loan of up to £75,000 from the Organ restricted fund to the New Hall account. This approval was on the advice that such a loan was acceptable provided proper measures were taken to repay the loan in a reasonable time and the fund would not suffer any loss of interest. A loan of £40,000 was made in October 2018 to be repaid over 10 years with 1% pa interest (£350 p.m.). An additional loan was made in September 2019 and the monthly loan repayments were increased to £636.

Organ Maintenance

This fund was established in 2014 with a specific legacy and provides for repair and maintenance of the church organ. A further legacy was received for this purpose in 2015.

Appeals and Special collections

This fund represents donations made to the PCC on an agency basis which are then passed directly to nominated charities within the objects of the PCC, or special collections for other specific charitable organisations.

Church Maintenance and Development

A legacy was received during 2015 for maintenance of the church.
