# **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST MARY'S PAINSWICK** 

## **Annual Accounts 2021** 

Financial statements for the calendar year 2021 are provided with this report in the form of : - 

- A Statement of Financial Activity (SOFA) 

- A Balance Sheet 

- An Independent Examiners report; and 

- Notes to the financial statements. 

## **1. Overview** . 

Income generated for in the year was £173,095 (2020 £88,589).  The increase is because of a legacy of £59,252 received from the estate of the late Gwen Welch. This has been transferred into our Reordering Account and ring-fenced for the repairs to the church organ (see Table 10B) 

The total expenditure for 2021 was £129,391 (2020 £137,924).  Therefore the net outgoing was a gain of £43,704 (2020 net loss of £49,335). 

Our investment gains were £87,180 (2020 gain of £21,725).  £20,000 was however transferred from our investment funds in order to maintain a sustainable balance in our Current account (see 2 below). 

The overall balance carried forward at 31 December 2021 was £895,210 being an increase of £130,884 over the year (see Net movement of funds in the SOFA). 

**2. Current account** .  The balance held in the account at the start of the year was £23,358 but was increased to £28,018 at 31 December 2021 (see Row A of Note 10,  Table  10B).   The  Current  account  includes  the  total  amount  £20,000 transferred from one of the CBF Deposit Accounts.  This was necessary in order to maintain a reasonable ongoing balance in the Current account (see Row D of Note 10, Table 10B) 

**3** . **Charitable donations** . The PCC donated a total of £10,764 to charities in 2021, (£6,320 2020) (see Note 7 to the statement for details). 

**4** . **Parish Share.** The PCC paid £58,800, (£61,200 2020) in Parish Share to the Gloucester Diocese in 2021. This is our biggest item of expenditure and went towards the costs of providing ministry in the Beacon Benefice. 

The PCC agreed at its October 2021 meeting to pay the slightly reduced amount of £56,300 requested by the Diocese for the Parish Share in 2022. 

**5** . **Risks.** The PCC is not aware of any significant risks against which it is not reasonably protected by its insurance policies and its adherence to Health and Safety legislation. 

**6** . **Thanks** . The PCC are most grateful to all who encourage, enable and equip the

church in ministry, mission, and in the day to day running of St Mary’s Church, the Churchyard, the Church Rooms and the Lychgate Office.

## **Parochial Church Council of St Mary's Painswick** 

_Registered Charity no. 1135419_ 

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December  2021 

## **1. ACCOUNTING  POLICIES** 

## **Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Entities (effective  April  2008),  the  Charities  Act  2011  and  the  requirements  of  the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the Church is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure  is  accounted  for  on  a  receipts  &  payments  basis  and  has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs  cannot  be  directly  attributed  to  particular  headings  they  have  been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Property assets** 

The  PCC,  in  conjunction  with  the  Gloucester  Diocesan  Trust,  has  effective ownership of three properties; the Church Rooms, the Lychgate Office and the Grave Diggers Hut. In principle, the values of these properties should be included in these accounts. There is no current intention of selling any of these properties and any such sale would require a lot of consultation. Furthermore, assigning a value to these unique properties is very difficult and would depend on conditions at the time of any sale. Thus property assets are not included in the balance sheet. 

## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at cost. (see Note 9). 

## **Taxation** 

The Church is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. The PCC has paid PAYE / income tax on behalf of its one part-time employee. 

## **Fund accounting** 

See Note 3 below 

## **2. CASHBOOK** . 

Financial transactions of the PCC are recorded using the Gloucester Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF) supplied spreadsheet system called Cashbook v5.2.  This allows semi-automated production of accounts not only for Painswick APCM but for DBF, Church of England and Charity Commission purposes as well.  The 

Page 6 of 10 



finances of the St. Mary’s Flower Guild and the Ancient Society of Painswick Youths (ASPY, the bell ringers) are not incorporated in these accounts.  They have both had their own accounts for many years and are largely self-sufficient.  The PCC does pay the Flower Guild for church flowers at Christmas, Easter and Harvest/Clypping.  Wedding bell ringing fees are initially paid to the PCC and are then forwarded to ASPY. 

## **3. UNRESTRICTED,  DESIGNATED AND RESTRICTED FUNDS.** 

The Church of England defines three types of fund for PCC purposes :  **Unrestricted –** funds that can be used for any legitimate purpose of the PCC 

 **Restricted –** funds that have been raised for a specific purpose and are kept separate or which have been donated for specified projects or uses. The only restricted fund for Painswick is the Re-ordering fund and that has a bank account separate from other funds 

 **Designated -** funds which the PCC has put aside for specific purposes (but if circumstances change the PCC can decide to un-designate or re-designate). 

Our Designated funds are our investments totaling over £800,000.  These funds were given to Painswick Church in the past for use by the PCC. Our predecessors chose to use them for income but there is no paperwork with the PCC Treasurer or DBF restricting their use as such. Thus, these are classified as Designated rather than Restricted funds. In principle, it would be possible to use some of these funds for major projects. Clearly that would require careful thought and it would be wise to find ways of replacing the lost investment income that would result. 

A list of our accounts and their classification is given in Table 10B of Note 10. 

## **4. PAROCHIAL FEES** 

The  figure  of  £9,862  quoted  in  the  SOFA  (Note  4)  as  the  PCC  income  from parochial fees is the gross income to the PCC (i.e. £4,137 PCC statutory fees plus £5,725 non-statutory extras). 

The actual net income to the PCC was £5,716 after deducting £4,146 from the £9,862 for payments to the organist, bell ringers, choir and flower guild. 

## **5. CHURCH ROOMS** 

Income from hire of Church Rooms, and contributions from the Tourist Office for electricity  use,  in  2021  amounted  to  £3,157.   Expenditure  (including  gas, electricity, insurance, water and cleaning costs) was £3,631 (this is mainly included in Church Running Expenses in the SOFA). There was thus a loss of £474 in the year.  The deficit amount brought forward from 2020 was £3,322 and therefore the total deficit at the end of 2021 is £3,796.

## **6. INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS** 

The total investment account income in 2021 was £23,373 (£22,910 in 2020). This is 2.9% of our overall closing balance (£807,670).  Income details for individual accounts is given in the table below.

## **8. BENEFICE OFFICE COSTS** 

The costs of running the Lychgate Office on behalf of the six churches of the Beacon Benefice are initially borne by Painswick PCC but were charged out to the other PCCs as per the following percentages: 

S H P P h a i C a e r t r i e E e c a n p d s h n s s g c c h w c T e o o a i o o m m m c m t b b k b a e e e l 1 5 1 1 4 5 5 2 7 5 0 . . . . . . 0 9 1 4 0 6 0 %% % % % % % 

Accounts are sent quarterly to the other parishes. Net office running costs in 2021 were as follows:

Page 9 of 10 



Office costs include salaries for the Rev Andrew Leach, office electricity, copier rental, phone and broadband, website maintenance, stationery and stamps. The net cost to Painswick PCC for the Lychgate Office is thus 57.6% of £5,540 or £3,191. The income from other parishes is included in Other Incoming Resources. 

## **9. STOCK** 

Stock is the postcards, church guides, leaflets and notelets that are available for purchase from the bookstall. The values below are the purchase values of the stock. The retail value (i.e. anticipated income if all purchasers paid the ticketed price) to the PCC through money in the donation boxes is a factor of 2 or 3 higher.
