**MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING including Meeting of the Parishioners held on 19th October 2020 (by Zoom)** 

## **Welcome – Worship** 

James opened the meeting. The APCM covering the year ended 31 December 2019 should have been held in April 2020, but was delayed until October due to Covid 19 restrictions. The APCM was conducted via Zoom and used the Zoom polling system for voting. There were 71 electoral roll members present plus Revds Trevor Dean, Robin Hazlehurst. James Packman, and Kevan Royle. Apologies were received from: Sarah Packman, Caroline & Paul Mason. 

James read Psalm 146: Listen and reflect, what can you praise the Lord for? We prayed and listened to ‘We have a good God’. 

It was agreed by all present that for record purposes the meeting would be recorded. 

## **MEETING OF PARISHIONERS** 

- **Minutes of the Meeting of Parishioners to elect a Churchwarden (under the Churchwardens Measure 2001(3)) held on 29[th] April 2019.** 

The minutes of the 2019 Meeting of Parishioners were proposed from the Chair and unanimously accepted and approved. 

- **Election of Churchwardens (under the Churchwardens Measure 2001(3))** 

Gillian Kath Beaumont-Markland (who was nominated by Rod Neal and seconded by Siân Steel) and Paul Mason (who was nominated by Rod Neal and seconded by Siân Steel) were unanimously elected as churchwardens. 

James said that they were both truly outstanding and wonderful, especially during the pandemic and a very big thankyou to them from him. James lead a prayer for them both. 

## **ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING** 

James introduced the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and reminded those present that only members of the electoral roll could vote for any motion or take part in any elections during the APCM. 

- **1 Minutes of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting held on 29[th] April 2019.** Approval of the minutes was proposed by the Chair and unanimously approved. 

- **2 Matters Arising** 

None 

## **3 Special Resolution to reduce the size of the PCC from 2021 APCM** 

The PCC has recommended to the members that the size of the PCC be reduced.  At the moment the PCC is made up of the Clergy, Wardens, a Reader Representative, 4 members of Deanery Synod and 15 elected members for the PCC (which adds up to 24 members). The reduction in the number of elected PCC members originated in a report from John Truscott who is a Church Consultant and recommended that the size of the PCC be reduced so that it would be more effective as a team. This was thought about and discussed at PCC. The PCC felt there were 4 options to reducing the size: 

1. Stay same 2. Reduce from 15 to 12 3. Reduce from 15 to 9 

4. Reduce from 15 to 6 

The PCC proposes to the APCM option 3. It was felt that reducing to 12 would not make a significant difference and reducing to 6 would be too much. This was approved by the 

4 



majority of the members. Therefore from the next APCM the process to start reducing the elected members onto the PCC would start. 

James expressed thanks to all on PCC and their responsibilities as Trustees, and particularly expressed thanks to Chris Barnes, Jeanette White and Stewart Wright for all their hard work over the time they have been on the PCC. 

## **4 Appointments and elections**

## **6 To receive the Annual Report and Financial Statements** 

## **a)    PCC Annual Report of Church Activities** 

The Annual Report is in respect of the year ended 31 December 2019, and we look back at all those events and activities and thank everyone who was involved in making them happen. Lots of these activities, however, have had to be put on hold from early 2020 because of the pandemic. 

## **b) PCC Report of Financial Affairs (including financial statements and Presentation)** 

James welcomed Ron as our new Treasurer and said thank you to Stewart Wright for all his work and service over the last few years. 

Ron stated that the Independent Examiner, Elliott Bunker Limited, has inspected the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 and that there are no matters of concern. 

The General Fund produced a surplus of £22,787 in the year 2019.  That surplus will be useful in the coming year as we are looking at a deficit at the end of 2020.  Members’ giving is very much appreciated and was generous in 2019.  However, income in the coming year has been down, due to COVID-19 and may change the accounts dramatically.  Therefore, it is really important for us to keep up our level of reserves. Final paragraph on page 41 about the value of the Pension Fund after 2019 - these have fallen by £18k but recently the valuation has gone up and we are now £11k above the valuation in the accounts. 

Thank you to Stewart for putting these accounts together and thank you to everyone for their support and to those who have recently donated. 

## **7 Churchwardens’ Report on Fabric, Goods and Ornaments** 

Kath Markland presented the report, confirming that the goods and chattels were all accounted for and in good order, and that the Church Terrier and Log Book were available should anyone wish to inspect them. There were no questions about the report which was then received. 

## **8 Deanery Synod Report** 

The Deanery Synod Report as published in the Annual Report was received. 

## **9 Rector’s Report** 

James talked about 2019, but there was not much to say about that as 2020 has taken over due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lots of Churches have struggled but James is really grateful to the team who have worked together to bring online services and events.  A big thank you to the whole team. 

Services were able to resume in a COVID-19 safe way, with Worship at 4 and then, due to the dark evenings, 11.30 Worship. We have been able to run an online Alpha course in 2020. 

Thank you to everyone for working together as a team and for being part of Holy Trinity during 2020. 

Going forward it is going to be difficult.  Life is going to be different and COVID-19 has changed us and changed our society. We need to refresh/recharge and think about how we move forward. What might God be calling us to do next?  We need to see the Lord and ask what he would like us to do in the future. 

James thanked Sarah for her heart for God and being a support to James. 

## **10 Open Forum** 

**Rod Neal** – asked about the Curate’s House and future appointments of a Curate. James replied that there was a meeting for training incumbents and James was not invited and he knows other people who were not invited, so is not sure what is happening regarding Curates. It will be in the hands of the Diocese.

**Debbie Routley** – For Sunday services, could we also make use of the Trinity Centre Lounge and live stream the service if we have an overflow of people? Agreed it was something to think about but as we have a toddlers group in the Trinity Lounge, may not be appropriate due to Covid 19 restrictions and cleaning. 

Could one service not include Communion, more like the 6.30pm service with more songs and prayers? 

It was agreed that Communion was a priority at these face-to-face services because it was not feasible in a pre-recorded online service. 

General discussion took place regarding Church at Home. It was agreed this should continue for as long as possible since the number of people connecting from both inside and outside the church was encouraging. It was felt there was good teaching and a good mix of worship songs. Many enjoyed the chance to meet each other after the service by Zoom and to engage with one another.

We are also seeking to employ a Minister<br>for Mission, as someone who can equip and enable<br>us to be better at evangelism, however this has had<br>to be deferred until our financial position following<br>the pandemic is clearer.|



## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** 

The primary object of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states the PCC ‘is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’. The PCC has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). 

**Public Benefit:** When planning and reporting on our activities for the year, the PCC has had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We seek to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community. 

## **PRINCIPAL ACHIEVEMENT REPORTS** 

These Reports have been prepared to reflect the sub-committee system established in May 2017. Each sub-committee has prepared a report which encompasses the activities for which it is responsible. Various other leaders have been consulted by the sub-committee convenor and the reports highlight achievements in 2020 and some of the goals for 2021. The Rector’s report includes staff and leaders’ meetings which also have responsibility for worship, discipleship and pastoral care. 

## **RECTOR’S REPORT** 

2020 was a year that will go down in the history books.  It started well, and it’s easy to forget the services and ministries that were operating in the first couple of months.  They may have been brought to an abrupt halt, but we are immensely grateful to God for the ministry they were able to provide. Then in March, as with the rest of life, church life was transformed. In-person ministry stopped suddenly and we were forced on-line. I have to say that the staff (Sian, Charlotte, Kevin, Julia, Penny, Sarah and Julie) have been absolutely superb in adapting and coping with the ongoing pressures that Covid has brought. We mustn’t forget the toll it has taken on them at various points in the pandemic – each one of them is an incredible asset to our church family. And of course it wasn’t just the staff – particular thanks must also go to Kath, Trevor, Paul and Caroline – who in different ways made big sacrifices to serve the church with their skills. And behind them are many others too – in particular those who learned how to do ministry in front of a camera, those who offered their digital talents behind the scenes, and those who enabled us to worship and pray in the church building in a safe way. To all these people we are deeply grateful – thank you.

I have lost count of the number of people who have said how much they have appreciated Church at Home. It is remarkable to think that the first one was put together with no experience and in less than a week, but our good God was guiding us and helped us when the first lockdown began. Through Church at Home we have worshipped together and learned from the ‘I AM’ sayings of Jesus in John’s gospel, thought about the love of God, studied the book of Ruth and parts of 1 Peter and Matthew and John, and reflected on the lives of believers in the Bible who suffered in isolation. Church at Home doesn’t suit everyone, and it took a while for some to master the technology to access it, but it has become a staple part of our Covid-world for Holy Trinity members, offering us a good quality ‘service’ and enabling us to worship and grow together, despite our separation. Fellowship continued as church members reached out to one another, and Zoom Chat on Sundays as well as other opportunities helped us stay connected. As restrictions eased in the summer we were able to meet again in the church building for communion services, even though the lack of singing, the need for face-masks and the need to keep a distance made it frustrating at times. The second lockdown in November stopped on-site worship once again, but we were glad to be able to celebrate Christmas at least partially in person. The third lockdown began in January 2021, and although this time the Government allowed individual churches to decide whether to offer in-person worship, the church council felt (along with many local churches) that we should play our part in keeping people safe by not opening our doors.  We are now in the position that the vaccine rollout is progressing well and there is plenty of hope for church life aswe-know-it to resume sometime soon. 

Sadly, a lot of our usual ministries had to cease with hardly any notice in March 2020, and it has been a source of huge disappointment that we haven’t been able to serve in the way we want to. Maybe it is an enforced sabbatical to enable us to rest and regroup and see what God is calling us to next. But for some there wasn’t much rest but an even heavier workload! As well as those who have been grappling with online music, risk assessments, editing, licensing, private prayer, and the like, let’s not forget teams like the Pastoral Group. They haven’t stopped praying and caring for the many members of our church family who are in need and we are very grateful for their ongoing support. 

Talking of prayer, one highlight has been the way that we have adapted to holding our monthly Prayer & Praise evening via Zoom. It is vital that we don’t stop praying as a church, so we are grateful for the wonders of technology that mean we both pray and stay safe! 

It has not been an easy year for anyone, or for our church.  But I do want to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all who have helped, and all who have participated in our worship together. I am so thankful to God for what has been achieved in his name, and give him the glory for carrying us through an ordeal of a year. We now pray for better things, and ask God to build us back as an even stronger worshipping community, where people become Christians and find support as Christians.  That is my prayer and would love it to be your prayer too. 

_James Packman, Rector_ 

## **SMALL GROUPS** 

We have 14 small groups in Holy Trinity. Each group decides how, when they will meet, what they will study and how they will provide pastoral and prayer support. So, they are all different but every group is important in supporting the spiritual life of its members. This past year has thrown up huge challenges and we have been hugely impressed and are very grateful for the way groups have responded - many meeting on Zoom, increasing phone calls, creating WhatsApp groups and striving to keep connected. There have been innovative shared meals on Zoom, shared walks when allowed and many other examples of people caring for one another. 

There are small group leaders’ meetings every few months where we review how groups are getting on, look at possible resources and offer support to one another. 

Belonging to a small group is a great way to get to know others and if anyone would like to hear more about it, please get in touch. 

Our thanks go to all the leaders for being involved in this important ministry particularly in these recent challenging circumstances. 

_Caroline Mason, John Watson and Judy Watson_

## **CHILDREN AND FAMILIES** 

## _General ministry_ 

This year has certainly been a challenging year for many different reasons; at one point during this year I worked 200 miles away (in Canterbury) for 10 weeks because the country went into lockdown. I have also been partly furloughed for some of this year too, which again I needed to adapt to. This year has helped me step back and see the bigger picture of ministry, see what is important, and how to approach building lasting relationships whilst not actually seeing people in person. Zoom has been my best friend and my worst enemy. Taking the ministries that thrive on in-person contact and relationship online was one of the hardest things to do, but God has remained right next to me, and I stepped out and stood firm in my calling that this is where I am supposed to be and that this whole situation wasn’t a surprise to God. I journeyed this year seeking him and standing firm on that promise. I have developed new skills, adapted and changed to different situations, and I am coming out of this year changed for the better and I love all the amazing ministries I oversee in my role. 

## _Sunday ministry_ 

As soon as we went into lockdown, Zoom became a firm friend. I have run a Sunday Zoom session since that very moment. We’ve joined together with worship, looking at the Bible and unpacking what it means. I have had a fairly regular attendance and have had some relatives of families join too. It’s been amazing that the children have been excited to join, contributed to the sessions, asked questions and been able to see each other on a Sunday. It’s also been great to have them involved with Church at Home: leading, praying or reading the Bible for us, and they were all brilliant every time I have asked them to be involved. I am super proud of how they have had to adapt and change to this new form of doing ministry as well as other factors in their life this year. I have also delivered various packs to the families at Christmas and Easter which was done in a Covid-secure way to ensure the safety of everyone. The bags have been well received and have helped us keep in contact with families who have chosen not to join us on Zoom. Over the course of the year we have also had some parent Zoom quizzes, and this has been great to get the parents together to chat and to have some fun competing in a quiz. 

## _Morning Break_ 

Our parent and toddler group was thriving before lockdown hit, We had just had 5 new families join and were looking forward to the summer and being able to use the garden. However, this didn’t happen. At the start I read a story every week and uploaded it to our Facebook group and we had a good number of views on these, and this continued through the summer and into the winter. In January 2021 I decided to take Morning Break onto Zoom and we have now been meeting on Zoom for 3 months. God was at work through this and we had 5 brand new families join us over the course of the sessions. It was amazing that we could offer a space for parents to open up and build relationships with each other as some of them hadn’t been able to meet with anyone because they were new to the area, so didn’t know anyone. During the Zoom we read a story together, sing some nursery rhymes, and then have breakout rooms to chat to each other and the parents have been very thankful for this. I also delivered various bags at points, also in a Covid-safe way, keeping to regulations and social distancing, to our families at Morning break. I would deliver to 15 families who we have had contact with for a while, just to check in with them and deliver them different bits especially over Christmas and Easter. We are planning on restarting in person near the end of April, and I personally cannot wait to join with the team and see the families come into the Church garden again and have Morning Break in person! I am also very thankful to the Morning Break team for being able to pray for this ministry and the families, but also adapt and support me through this ever changing situation. 

## _Go Zone_ 

Go Zone is another ministry which was going strong before lockdown, and at first I couldn’t see a way to move this online. We tried Zoom a couple of times but by this point the children had been doing home-schooling for a few months, and unfortunately we didn’t have many families attend. So, we left it for the summer and came back with a fresh approach - Go Zone at Home. Since October we have delivered Go Zone at Home packs to 21 families (43 children) twice a month, again adhering to Covid safety rules when packing and delivering and talking to the families. These packs have a lot of the content of a Go Zone session (except singing) in the bag. They have a Bible Story, an activity linked to the Bible story, another craft/activity un-related, and a food 

13 



treat. The families have enjoyed receiving these packs every other week and it’s been great to continue the Go Zone relationship with them. We’ve been able to chat with families and support some going through tough times. It’s been great to continue this in a new way, but I am looking forward to when we can meet back together again! I am also thankful for team members who have helped plan and deliver the packs, and for the rest of the team who have remained faithful in prayer and support throughout. 

## _Schools_ 

Sadly I haven’t been able to go into school to deliver an assembly for over a year, but we have maintained relationship with the school and I have delivered some treats for all the staff on a couple of occasions. We have also been able to send some recorded assemblies: one at harvest and one at Christmas which has been great to do. I have spoken to the head of the school and he is keen to get us back in to do assemblies in the future which is exciting! 

## _Professional development_ 

As part of my role, it’s important to think about development of my gifts and skills, and this year has given the opportunity to join in with webinars that I might not have been able to attend due to other commitments. I completed the SWGP ministry training course which allowed me to gain more understanding of the Bible as a whole and think about leadership in my role, and it gave an opportunity to grow in new skills like writing short sermons. It was great to join with group of people each week and journey alongside them in this course. I was also able to join in with the ‘Care for the family: Playtime national conference’, which spoke about the importance of parent and toddler groups. I have attended various ‘Faith in Kids’ webinars focussing on Light parties, Christmas, and future ministry. I have joined with the Bath and Wells Go Team who organised some Zoom sessions for children’s, families and youth workers in the diocese to speak about ministry and reflect on the year, but also giving ideas and space to talk with each other. I am part way through a book called ‘The essential guide to family ministry’ by Gail Adcock which is very helpful in looking at and assessing ministry moving forward. I have also recently attending a training event called the ‘Emotional Rollercoaster’ which is from Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) which spoke about mental health in children and spoke about skills to use when facing different situations around that topic. I have also recently updated my safeguarding training. 

I feel I have grown personally and professionally this year, I feel I have grown more into the person who God has called me to be and I am ready to serve him going forward. I am confident that God is on the move in the area of Children and families and I am ready to follow him where he leads. I am excited to get back into some normality and bring the ministries back to the church in person in the safest way we can. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for the children and families over this past year as we have faced uncertainty and difficulties, please continue to pray for the future of these ministries and lets move forward looking to God, who has carried us this far and isn’t going to leave us. I am super excited to be right where I feel I have been called to serve and I hope you can journey with me.

## **YOUTH** 

## **Jan-March 2020 (pre-Covid)** 

Pathfinders – met every Sunday during the 10:45am service in the youth space and was well attended by young people of members of our church family 

CYFA – met fortnightly on a Monday after school in Costa for a bible study on topical issues with 2 attendees. 

Rock Solid (Y7-Y9) – met every week on a Thursday evening. This consisted of games, a faith slot, some down time and snacks. Rock Solid had a very good attendance of 25-30 young people all from the community. Roughly 10-15 young people would attend the faith slot each week which was taking relevant topics or questions the young people had and giving a biblical viewpoint. 

Eight-O-Clock Series (Y10-Y13) – met fortnightly on a Friday evening with a low average attendance of 3-4. This did allow for relationships to be established fairly quickly though which was a big plus side. The evening consisted of a variety of activities and games set up with the young people choosing what to do. At around the midway point we would come together to 

14 



discuss a ‘question of the week’. The leaders would each chip in and come at it from a Christian perspective to get the young people thinking and also discussing things on a deeper level. I was going into Nailsea School once a week to help run the Christian Union. Helped to plan and run Last Sunday, the Nailsea Churches Together Youth Event. I was also attending a course run by SWGP which offered overviews of books of the bible and in depth looks at others. There was also opportunity to plan and deliver talks which I found extremely helpful and valuable. 

## **March-Dec 2020 (Covid)** 

Pathfinders & CYFA have continued online during this period with consistent attendance from the young people. They have adapted and embraced being online tremendously well and their faithfulness to our church groups is truly inspiring. 

Rock Solid & Eight-O-Clock-Series have been unable to meet during this time due to restrictions in place. I have done an Easter and Summer video series for young people to engage with – which some of them have.  I have also delivered packages to the young people to touch base and see how they have been coping during lockdowns and home-schooling. The general consensus from the young people is they are looking forward to groups starting again without restrictions when possible. 

I completed the SWGP Training course online and have done other online webinars during the course of 2020 including various National Youth Agency’s webinars on detached youth work during lockdown.

## **EVANGELISM AND COMMUNITY** 

The Evangelism and Community group has met termly to discuss the outreach and community involvement of the church. 

Many of the usual activities overseen by the group have of necessity been suspended during the pandemic. Therefore a number of our goals for 2020 could not be progressed. Examples are the closure of the coffee lounge and the Trinity garden, the suspension of most CTINAD activities (one exception being the excellent Drive in Carol Service at Christmas), and cancellation of the Skatefest. 

The group discussed and encouraged individual outreach to neighbours etc. during the pandemic, and a number of members have been involved in significant community involvement, in particular the Nailsea Community Group. The group discussed and encouraged outreach and community support around Christmas and Easter time and members of the group were involved in outreach events at these times, such as the provision of meals in the community at Christmas. 

One significant area of encouragement has been the provision of online outreach and discipleship courses. With support from the group the courses were taken online using Zoom in June 2020 with Tales of the Unexpected (6 guests) some of whom transitioned into an Online Alpha from September to December 2020 (14 guests in all, 12 of whom completed the course). This was the first Alpha Course run by the church since the whole church Alpha in 2017. A follow-up course to Alpha called 'A Life Worth Living' ran online from January to the end of March 2021 (14 participants). A further Alpha course ran from January to end of March 2021 (5 guests). Further courses will continue online until such time as we are able to meet in person. Prayer has been crucial in underpinning these courses and members of the E&C group have been very involved in supporting these initiatives, either in person or in prayer.

## **MISSION SUPPORT** 

The Mission Support Committee is responsible for advising the PCC on how Holy Trinity’s mission budget should be spent and for encouraging an interest in mission work amongst the congregation. 

Holy Trinity supports and contributes financially to the work of 12 key mission partners, engaged in various aspects of Christian mission in different parts of the world.  The 12 key mission partners and the church members representing them are currently as follows: 

**Representatives Mission Partners** Christian Aid Matt Thomas Eli and Jenny Ayo (Youth with a Mission) Paul and Caroline Mason Gordano Area CAP Debt Centre Chris Barnes Neil Wylie (Connect) Theresa Coy Open Doors Ian Ashby Phil Williams (Christian Surfers) Rod Neal South West Gospel Partnership Kevin Magner / Charlotte Crooks Stand by Me Mike Youings Stephen and Diki Hawkins (Word for Life Sally Winsor Trust) Transform Europe Network Barry Mead Uganda (various projects) Trevor Dean Wellspring Mary Southwood 

The committee met twice during 2020 to plan and review the distribution of the mission budget. We also held one meeting in March (just before Lockdown) for Holy Trinity Mission Representatives to exchange information and ideas and to encourage each other in their role. 

We would like to record our gratitude for Chris Faull (who was a very faithful member of the Mission Support Committee but sadly passed away during 2020), for Ed Sheffield (who has retired from the committee owing to other commitments) and to Keith Norwood (who has retired from the role of Christian Aid representative after many years). We are very pleased that Barry Mead has agreed to join the committee in 2021 and that Matt Thomas has agreed to take over Keith’s role as Christian Aid representative. 

_Ian Ashby, Mary Southwood_ 

## **BUILDINGS AND PLANT** 

With extensive facilities and Covid-19 restrictions, 2020 was a challenging time maintaining the buildings, plant and grounds. 

## **Church** 

The Quinquennial scheduled for May, and planned major repairs were postponed. The five yearly statutory inspection of fixed wiring was carried out, and resulting observations and recommendations addressed. 

## **Audio Visual (AV)** 

Sound system - no changes throughout 2020. 

AV system - completion of some minor cabling to facilitate use of cameras.  Suspension of Proclaim software licencing until after the pandemic. 

16 



## **Tower** 

Completion of internal repairs identified at the 2015 quinquennial inspection was not possible. 

## **Trinity centre** 

Normal use of the Trinity Centre continued until March when the first lockdown started. Since then, only limited use took place in the autumn prior to the second lockdown. 

During the course of the lockdown the carpets in the Main Lounge and Welcome Area were given a thorough clean and the move of the Main Office from Trinity House to the Upper Room took place. 

The failed glass panel in the Coffee Lounge roof is still under review with the main contractor, as are the leaks in the Coffee Lounge. A site meeting was held in October with the installer of the stainless steel roof and it is hoped that repairs will take place in 2021. 

## **Trinity House** 

In September, following the Main Office move and related office moves by staff members, the Tithe Room was given a partial redecoration and the carpet cleaned. 

Four windows were removed, refurbished and re-installed. Another four will be refurbished when funds allow in the years 2021/22. 

Following several false alarms, the Fire Alarm control box was renewed. 

Rain water ingress from the roof over the Tithe Room required urgent attention just before Christmas. A temporary repair was carried out but urgent major repairs to the roof were identified. Because it is a grade 2 listed building, discussions were held with North Somerset Council to determine what repairs could be carried out without listed consent. We were advised that providing the roof repairs are less than 50% of the total roof area listed consent is not required. Also, we have to use the existing tiles (more expensive than our preferred alternative). As of February 2021 we are awaiting quotations and will commence works as soon as possible. 

## **Trinity Garden** 

Gardens continue growing even during lockdown!  We are grateful to the team of volunteers who have helped to keep Trinity Garden in good order during 2020, including mowing lawns, trimming hedges, weeding, watering, sweeping leaves, picking apples, tidying, pruning and stewarding, as well as cleaning and re-treating all the garden seats. 

The garden was open once a week in the summer in conjunction with private prayer in the church and was well used until the weather turned colder. 

## **Church Grounds** 

Covid-19 restrictions and resulting financial constraints prevented planned repairs, but the upper and lower graveyards were kept tidy even though we reduced the frequency of grass cutting. It is hoped that during 2021 funding will be available for repairs to the West Gate and War Memorial. 

## **Church Hall** 

In 2020 Jeanette White moved away from Nailsea. She will be missed after many years of helpful service. Otherwise, the hall committee are unchanged and continue to function as a team, running their own budget and covering all maintenance and regular cleaning, servicing and utilities from rental income. 

The Covid Regulations meant a loss of rental income. Most hirings ceased and the contract with Pre-School was re-constructed to allow for reduced hours and restricted numbers. 

Regular maintenance included some improvements to wiring following the five-yearly fixed wiring inspection. We also constructed two large storage cupboards to replace a small freestanding one for use by Pre-School. 

The current £8,000 project to replace the front doors with a disabled persons’ accessible automated glass door is awaiting responses from grant-making bodies. £2,500 is in the 2021 budget towards it. 

17 



## **Goals for 2021** 

1. As per the Fabric Team’s Terms of Reference to the PCC: 

   - a. Ensure the internal and external fabric of the Church and Tower, Trinity Centre and Trinity House are kept in good condition and are safe for all groups/activities using them. Includes fixtures, fittings and furniture. 

   - b. Ensure the grounds, including upper and lower graveyards, are maintained, tidy and safe. 

      - _Achieved for 2020. Continue for 2021_ . 

2. Complete the outstanding works identified in the 2015 Quinquennial report. This will include: 

   - a. Obtaining quotations for external repairs (repointing and replacement of any unsafe stone) to the Tower, Church, and Gullies. 

   - b. Obtaining quotations for the renewal of the South Porch Roof. 

   - c. Applying for grants to carry out works identified above. _Goal carried forward to 2021. It is subject to the quinquennial inspection, postponed from 2020 and rescheduled for May 2021._ 

_3._ Fix the Coffee Lounge Roof - leaks and shattered panel. _Work to resolve these roof issues with the contractor and architect has been restricted by Covid-19 during 2020. Ongoing through 2021._ 

_4._ New for 2021. Replace the Church Hall entrance doors with a disabled persons’ accessible automated glass door. 

## **Thanks** 

Many thanks must go to the ongoing commitment of the Fabric Team members who have met regularly on Zoom and looked after our buildings and grounds during 2020 despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 regulations. 

_Bryn Jones_ 

## **PERSONNEL** 

**Goals for 2020/21** remain unchanged but due to the pandemic were adapted! 

- ➔ To evaluate the current staffing levels and the effectiveness of the roles. 

- ➔ To deepen and develop and care for the staff in order to move forward the ministry of the Church. 

- ➔ To strengthen the Staff review process and provide opportunities for staff to develop. 

Annie Williams has continued as the Chair of the Personnel Committee. The Chair has offered advice and support as needed albeit remotely. We welcomed Ron to the committee this year in his role as Treasurer. 

We welcomed Penny to the team as Office Receptionist and Administrator. 

The committee meet three times per year and follow their agreed terms of reference including: 

- Reviewing and agreeing pay and other benefits and conditions – the Church adopted the example set by the Archbishop of Canterbury that all staff should be paid at least the Living Wage, and this continues to be implemented. 

- Reviewing and supporting staff working conditions and well-being – the Church undertook an independent review, and the recommendations continue to be worked through. The office move took place and the team look forward to returning to work in this new environment. 

- Managing and monitoring the furlough of staff while maintaining essential services. 

18 



During the restrictions of the pandemic, our committed and hard-working employees have adapted to ever-changing situations, and the committee would like thanks noted to all employees for their contributions and hard work. 

The committee very much looks forward to continuing to work with the whole team to take forward the vision of the Church and to refocus on the committee's core aims. 

_Annie Williams_

## **Contribution of Volunteers** 

In common with most churches, God’s work, including the PCC’s activities, could not happen without the input of a large number of volunteers who offer their services willingly every single day of the week (even during Covid times)! The contribution made by countless acts of selfless service not only makes so much possible and saves the church many thousands of pounds each year, but is also Kingdom work and what we are about as the people of God. This report expresses the gratitude of the churchwardens, all leaders and the PCC to all who in whatever way, by their contribution, play their part in God’s work here at Holy Trinity Church and in the wider community.

* From March 2020 all services were stopped because of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. We started an online service ‘Church at Home’ which every week receives an average of about 216 views. 

We also started ‘in person’ Worship@4 and then 11.30 Worship. We are only able to have a maximum of 30 people at each service due to Covid restrictions.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The budget which we set for 2020 was ambitious and exciting. We were looking forward to a year in which our newly appointed Children & Family Worker and Youth Worker would gather momentum in their respective roles.  We planned to appoint a Minister of Mission in September and the work of the Church would be supported by a fully staffed administrative office.  To finance this activity, the General Fund budget produced a deficit for the year of £56,893, which was reduced to £4,760 by applying contributions from other funds such as the Court Shrine, Fabric and Worship & Mission Funds. 

In the event, the year turned out very differently from the vision, with the pandemic curtailing much of the planned work and having a major impact on the Church’s finances. Our income from giving was £25,000 (8%) less than the budget and income from other sources, such as lettings and the coffee lounge fell £15,000 (61%) below budget.  However, the loss of income was partly cushioned by Furlough and Lockdown Grants totalling £21,893.  The net effect of these factors meant that income was £19,184 below budget. 

Expenditure was also reduced due to the periods of lockdown with many planned items of Repair and Maintenance having to be deferred, the appointment of the Minister of Mission postponed and operational budgets not being required.  Provision has been made in the accounts for the anticipated cost of roof repairs to Trinity House which became evident in December.   Overall, General Fund Expenditure was £50,058 below budget reducing the deficit for the year to £26,023 requiring less use of our reserve funds. 

Total Unrestricted Funds showed a deficit of £22,558.  Restricted Funds were in surplus by £13,626.  The Endowment Funds, which provide income for the Church but the capital sums cannot be used, increased in value again this year by £16,344 (6%). 

The PCC has approved the transfer of £9,500 from the Children and Youth Fund to the General Fund to contribute towards the cost of the Youth Worker in keeping with previous policy. At the end of 2020, the loans outstanding to the DBF and CCLA for the funding of the Trinity Project totalled £167,778, repayments of £50,000 having been made in the year.  Outstanding loans from Church Members total £59,999.   Giving to the project remained stable which, if sustained, should enable the Project to be funded by the end of 2024 as reported in the regular monitoring reviews. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is PCC policy to maintain a level of Free Reserves equal to approximately six weeks spending. Free Reserves are defined as that part of unrestricted funds that is freely available to spend.  This equates to the unrestricted fund balances minus the value of fixed assets and funds designated to meet essential future spending such as the Development Fund which is required for the Trinity Project.  The Free Reserves at 31 Dec 2020 amount to £124,400 which equates to approximately 17 weeks expenditure. 

Although the reserves appear comfortably high, the forecast deficits in coming years will quickly utilise them.  For this reason, the PCC has taken steps to reduce planned expenditure and further delay the appointment of Minister of Mission. 

## **Policy for making Grants or Donations** 

The PCC has maintained a policy over many years of allocating 10% of total income to mission and grants for short-term youth and other projects. We have similarly committed to give away 10% of everything we spend on our own Trinity Project buildings. Details of donations made in 2020 are provided in the financial statements attached to this report.

## **CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT including Fabric, Goods and Ornaments** 

The Church Wardens’ Report for 2020 will, for reasons of COVID, be like no other in recent years. To say that it has been challenging would be an understatement. 

We are pleased to report that all goods and chattels are accounted for and in good order. The Terrier and Log Book will be available to view on request. 

It has been both a busy year and not a busy year: on the one hand services have been suspended due to the pandemic for most of the year, and when they did occur it was with very limiting restrictions. At different times, when restrictions allowed, there has been a 4pm or an 11.30am Communion service. This has been socially-distanced with restricted numbers and no singing. 

On the other hand since March 2020 many people have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to provide an excellent Church at Home online service each week. I cannot stress how much this has been valued, or indeed how hard a small group of people have worked to make this happen: a huge thanks go those who have used their technical skills for all the music and video editing, and those who have acclimatised to being in front of a camera. 

Because of these strange circumstances most of our normal teams of Duty Wardens and Sidespeople have not been doing their usual jobs. 

Our staff team and office team have worked incredibly hard. Most of them have been furloughed for at least part of the year, and have also worked from home for part of the year as our buildings were required to be closed. A very difficult juggling act. We owe them huge thanks. 

Thanks are also due to those who are not always noticed but work extremely hard behind the scenes: those managing church finances (a particular challenge this year), and the fabric team without which our church and grounds would not be in such a good state of repair. 

Many others who would normally operate sound systems, move chairs, arrange flowers and make coffee have been largely unable to do their jobs this year. We look forward to welcoming them back during this year. 

During 2021 there will continue to be challenges and there will inevitably be those volunteers who, for various reasons have to stand down from certain responsibilities. That will be especially true this year. If you are aware of gaps or are asked to consider a job please do so prayerfully. You may have just the skills which are needed to fill a particular role in the life of our church.

## **PORTISHEAD DEANERY SYNOD REPORT FOR 2020** 

We only met twice as a Deanery this year.  Due to the pandemic we chose to cancel two synods and delayed the beginning of deanery-wide meetings (now beginning June 2021). 

February - Andy Gray, Diocesan Faith-Sharing Enabler, introduced resources and ideas available to assist churches with their missional work. 

September - Chris Judson helped us think through taking care of ourselves during lock-down. We then spent time in smaller groups looking at ways to be more effective as a deanery. 

Voluntary social and training gatherings have also suffered although deanery Chapter has had more regular meetings. 

We have enjoyed having Assistant Diocesan Secretary Peter Evans as our Deanery Accompanier. He has been present at most Mission and Pastoral Group meetings. 

Suzy Kirkam is now Curate at Christ Church, Clevedon. She was made deacon on Sunday 27[th] September. 

Laura Downs, Curate with the Portishead Team, was ordained priest on Wednesday 30[th] September. 

22 



We say farewell to Martin Little as he moves to Highbridge and Burnham, and Chris Judson as she moves to The Huntspills and Mark. 

Jules Harris moved from Wraxall to be Rector at Nailsea Christchurch and Tickenham. Fran Binding moved from Wraxall to be House for Duty Priest at Kenn & Kingston Seymour. Trevor Jordan resigned from St John's Clevedon and moved to Portugal. An announcement about an interim replacement for Father Trevor is expected shortly. 

James Harris was appointed Rector of Long Ashton with Barrow Gurney and Flax Bourton. 

Lesley Farrall stepped down as Deanery Secretary in September. We desperately need a volunteer, or possibly paid worker, to take her place although she will remain on Synod and part of Deanery Mission and Pastoral Group. Currently Steve and Rob are sharing the work of minuting meetings and Rob is covering the admin work. 

Astrid Tiemsema-Samson was appointed Assistant Area Dean and licensed at the September meeting. 

We are grateful to the clergy and officials of all the deanery churches for their hard work and commitment during this difficult year. 

_Rob Norman (Lay Dean) Steve Tilley (Area Dean)_

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY, NAILSEA** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, 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) and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 6 

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of members. 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.  Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **Funds** 

_Endowment funds_ are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established. 

_Restricted funds_ represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment , interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

_Unrestricted funds_ are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Collections, planned giving and donations are generally recognised when received, unless specified otherwise by the donor.  Receipts from a Gift Day at the end of one year, in anticipation of the following year's budget, are deferred until the following year.  Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is recognised.  Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due.  Dividend and interest income is recognised when it is received.  Rental income from the letting of church premises and all other income is recognised when it is receivable.  All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The Diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Expenditure in respect of the redevelopment of the Trinity Centre has been capitalised and the premises is being depreciated to spread the cost over its estimated useful life.  Whilst this is not strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 relating to consecrated buildings, which require that the expenditure is written off immediately, the PCC believes that this treatment more fairly reflects the ongoing value of the building to the PCC.  Similarly, as the buildings are conjoined, the same policy is applied to Trinity House, which is being depreciated over its estimated useful life from 2015, the effective date when the buildings came into full use; similarly the cost of hard landscaping in the Trinity Garden which was completed in 2017. 

Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and Church Wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. 

All expenditure incurred in the  year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

The Church Hall is not depreciated as it is considered that the majority of the value relates to the land on which it is situated. Depreciation is provided on all moveable church furnishings and equipment used within the church premises at rates calculated to write off the costs, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its estimated useful life as follows: 

|Moveable church furniture|5 years|
|---|---|
|Computer equipment|3 years|
|PA Equipment|4 / 5 years|
|AV Equipment|4 / 5 years|
|Kitchen Equipment|10 years|
|Trinity Centre, House and Garden|50 years|



## **Investments** 

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

## **Endowment Funds** 

The income received from the Court Shrine endowment fund  can be used on all property related matters across all our church buildings, including Trinity Centre, House and Garden, rather than just the church itself. The income received from the Graveyard endowment fund can only be used for the upkeep of the graveyard. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

Trinity Project: fundraising for the Trinity Centre Development began in 2007.  This fund now includes all aspects of the Trinity Project: the Trinity Centre Development, purchase and refurbishment of Trinity House. The Uganda Fund consists of gifts received which are being passed to various projects in Uganda for medical and other supplies. 

The Roof Repair Funds consists of grants received and costs incurred in reroofing the south nave 

## **Unrestricted Designated Funds** 

The Development Fund was set up in 2006 from legacies received, which will be held to finance building and other larger projects. Income from this fund is transferred into the Worship & Mission Enhancement Fund (previously the Jubilee  Fund). During 2007 the proceeds from the sale of the Grove land were added to this fund.  The PCC has decided to use this fund to support the Trinity Project. 

The Worship & Mission Enhancement Fund (previously the Jubilee Fund)  originally consisted of monies received from the Diocese as part of their Jubilee initiative.  It has been bolstered by part of a legacy received in 2017. The fund is used to support projects to enhance worship and support mission outreach. 

The Church Hall, Morning Break and Pop In funds record their income and expenditure in separately designated funds within general funds. 

The Children & Youth Fund (previously the Sue Jutsum Fund) results from a legacy left by the late Sue Jutsum in 2012.  It has been enhanced by part of a legacy received in 2017. 

The PCC has decided to utilise this fund towards the costs of specific activities within the church's Youth & Children's work. 

The Fabric Fund has been established to hold funds to meet the cost of major works to church buildings and facilities; specifically the new Garden of Remembrance and relaying the Trinity House drive The Skate Festival Fund provides ongoing resources for the annual Skate Festival held each year in Nailsea

## **14 CHURCH WORKERS PENSION FUND** 

Holy Trinity Nailsea PCC (PB Classic) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. 

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. 

## **Pension Builder Scheme** 

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. 

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors.

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY, NAILSEA** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **14 CHURCH WORKERS PENSION FUND - continued** 

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members’ Normal Pension Age. 

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. 

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102.  This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.  The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2020: £4,575: 2019 £1,621). 

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2016. A valuation as at 31 December 2019 was under way as at 31 December 2020. 

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £14.2m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose not to grant a discretionary bonus, which will have acted to improve the funding position. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. 

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £1.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. 

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Holy Trinity Nailsea PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities.
