Vicar’s Report
2020 will inevitably be remembered as the year of covid. The impact of the pandemic, and the church’s response to it, is apparent in every report compiled in this review. For the periods when it was allowed, St Peter’s remained open for public worship, within the guidance set by the government and the national church. But for much of year, it has been a steep learning curve, as we have adapted to new technologies and new ways of keeping in touch. We have had to make better use of social media, and master the art of Zoom meetings. We have learned how to sing online; and how to film, edit and upload worship and school assemblies. We have developed our online and contactless giving, and invested in new technical equipment for the church. Many of these steps have been positive: online worship, for example, has enabled people to watch, and to sing, read and preach (!) over the last year not only from their homes in the UK, but from Germany, Australia and the USA, and the live-streaming of worship on a regular and permanent basis is now a long-term intention for St Peter’s Church.
But it has also been an extremely hard year for many. Many in our congregation have been isolated and alone for long periods of time; families and children have been placed under stress; and some of those in employment have seen their jobs disappear or their businesses collapse. Those who are NHS or care workers have often faced immense pressures at work; significant numbers of our own congregation contracted covid; and some among us have lost family members or friends. As a congregation, we have tried to keep in touch with each other, and particularly with vulnerable or elderly parishioners, with phone calls and zoom meetings. We have collected for Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank, and continued to support other local charities helping those in need. Inevitably, there will have been people we have failed to look out for, opportunities we have missed, and times when we simply haven’t been able to offer the kind of care we would have wanted: the experience of having to give the last rites over a telephone (because of restrictions on in-person visits) to a dying resident at Chiswick Nursing Centre is one which will stick in my mind. On a practical note, the church’s own finances have also suffered, as with so many other charities and businesses.
We are not out of the pandemic yet. But looking back, I am extremely thankful that no members of our own congregation have been lost directly to covid over the last year: unlike so many other clergy, I have not been placed in the awful situation of conducting a funeral arising from covid for one of our own. And I am also extremely thankful for the wonderful responses to the pandemic shown by so many in this church and in the wider community: for all those who delivered shopping to those in isolation, and looked out for vulnerable friends and neighbours; for those who gave generously of their time or money to support those in need; for those who worked (sometimes at personal risk) in the NHS, care homes, and other key sectors to support the rest of us; and for the willingness shown right across our congregation to embrace new technologies and new ways of doing things. We are grateful too for our wonderful church wardens, singers and musicians, administrator, treasurer, virger, occasional preachers, stewards, PCC members, children’s worker, technical team, and our (now departed and much missed!) curate – as well as the large numbers of volunteers who serve in all sorts of capacities across the church, often behind the scenes. You have all been absolute stars!
Revd Charles Clapham
Curate’s Report
The last year has been shaped by the pandemic, and adapting to changing restrictions. The technical side of filming, editing and streaming kept me busy, even if the novelty wore off somewhat. And of course it continued to provide those unable to come to services or shielding with the opportunity to participate from home.
During the second half of 2020 I spent a fair amount of time researching and sourcing technical equipment needed to ensure that we can continue our online presence even after our doors have reopened for good. This will widen our reach and attract others to come after they have found us on-line, as recently happened with a young family who moved into the area.
So far we have acquired a remotely controlled camera, an ambient light rejecting motorised screen, quality microphones and a laptop for live streaming. When the screen is finally installed above the altar together with a new projector, it will allow us to project services live - and thereby considerable increase visibility for those sitting in the gallery.
We have been grateful for the generous contributions of several donors, who made it possible to make our ambitious vision of providing quality online content possible. At the time of writing my husband Alistair is sharing the technical knowledge he has gained over the last few months with other volunteers who it is hoped will take over when we leave.
We continued the monthly Women’s zoom lunches, and tried to keep in touch pastorally by making home visits while allowed, or phone calls at other times.
Women’s Lunch on Zoom
I am grateful for all I have learnt during my time at St Peter’s, for Charles’ input, and the kindness and warmth Alistair and I experienced at St Peter’s Church, and it will be sad to say goodbye after Easter. Even though I am moving a fair way to Chelmsford Diocese to take on the post of Vicar to Coggeshall, Marks Hall, Cressing, Stisted, Bradwell-juxta-Coggeshall and Pattiswick, I have been delighted to find out about the many pre-existing links between people of St Peter’s and their friends or families who live in and around Coggeshall, which will make it easy to stay in touch. I have no doubt that St Peter’s Church will continue to grow and flourish and pray for God’s blessing as you serve Him in this area of London.
Rev’d Heike Prentice
Outside ‘Covid Safe’ Singing After Easter 2021 Sunday Service
Churchwardens’ Report
2020 was an extraordinarily difficult year for St Peter’s, as it was for everyone in the UK and indeed throughout much of the world. Several members of our parish caught the Covid-19 virus, and many had their movements severely restricted by the ‘stay at home’ rules. Notably Heike Prentice, our normally indefatigable curate, suffered quite severely from the virus and then from what is now known as “long covid”. Charles Clapham, our vicar, suffered from continuing migraines, apparently related to the effect on his eye-sight of excessive screen-time necessitated by the circumstances. And we had to adapt to stringent lockdown provisions imposed by both the government and the Anglican hierarchy, which meant the church was totally closed for several months.
It is a great tribute to both Charles and Heike that, despite their own health problems, they rose to the many challenges and devised new means of keeping the parish functioning. Especially noteworthy was the successful institution of online worship. Every week, we were able to tune in to beautiful celebrations of the Eucharist and excellent sermons, recorded initially at their respective homes while they were forbidden to enter the church even alone. Then, when services in church were able to resume, they were live-streamed. That proved popular not only with parishioners unable to be present in person, but to quite a number of people outside the parish.
Of course, they did not do this alone. On the technical side, Heike’s husband Alistair played an indispensable role in establishing the mechanisms for the online services and then for the livestreaming; it wouldn’t have been possible without him. Lesson-readers and intercession-leaders soon got used to having to video-record their contributions at home and forward them electronically for incorporation in the online service. PCC meetings were held by Zoom. All those involved found their technical skills considerably enhanced!
Outstanding in this respect was the performance, both musical and technical, of Sam Hanson our Director of Music, Eleri Gwilym our soloist, and the choir. We have become used to being able to watch Sam’s feet (represented by his left hand when he is recording at home) in the introductory and closing organ music. With the amazing coordinating screen skill of Mark Levesley (from Spain!), week after week we have been able to enjoy watching and hearing members of the choir singing hymns and difficult anthems – all from their respective homes. For the rest of us this has been uplifting, a real treat.
When services were permitted to resume, Stewards and Senior Stewards adapted to having to try to enforce the rules about registering, social-distancing and mask-wearing. People attending services were in general very good about observing these rules – although it was difficult to refrain from chatting inside the church before and after services. . .
Throughout this unusually trying period, the largely behind-the-scenes work of many volunteers has continued. It’s impossible to mention everyone, but notable were Steve Haude, our Verger, Leslie Du Cane, our Treasurer, Ruth Hawkins and Bridget Stevenson, who record donations and extract sizable gift-aid rebates from HMRC, and Follett Balch, who helps us to understand and deliver the requirements of the Quinquennial Review. Underpinning everything was the calm, willing, can-do approach of our Administrator, Lucy Miller; she is amazing.
On behalf of ourselves and of the whole congregation, we thank Charles, Heike, and all those who have contributed to keeping our parish alive and indeed vibrant during 2020. Now in 2021 we hope that the various restrictions will gradually be lifted and that, for instance, we will finally be able to benefit from our new kitchen, finished just in time to be put out of use by Covid!
Very many thanks to all, and very best wishes for a more normal future!

Virger’s Report
The past year is one perhaps we don’t have many fond thoughts, but it will always retain some fond memories. We really found out the stuff we’re made of. We all came together, albeit distanced, and the love we have for each other shone brightly. Health issues have affected many of us both physically and mentally (I’ve got very fat and legs starting to give way!).
The old virger couldn’t do much ‘virgering’ in non-services, but true virgers are ‘backroom’ boys and girls! Tech took over, but I could still go to our beloved church to fill the candles, tidy up and change altar frontals ready for our fantastic clergy to record/video the online services. From my home I’ve ‘zoom-mastered’ the AGM for the Guild of Virgers, our virtual Annual Dinner (crisps, sandwiches and Merlot) plus meetings with my Episcopal peers in the USA.
So much talent emerged from our congregation. Teamwork! Together, the clergy, choir, readers and tech team came together and produced lovely online services. We’ve had inspiring sermons from Charles and Heike as well as James Rawls and Simon Brooke. Alistair Prentice and Mark Levesley are remarkable tech bods, while our Lucy is beavering away in the office keeping everything on track. Thank you all for the virtual warmth of your arms around me.
Things are beginning to look brighter. Joyous family services and 10.30 Eucharist both back alive and in church. There’s so much more to look forward to in the future. Light will shine when we light the Pascal Candle on a glorious Easter Day. St Peter’s is a great and living church! Love to you all…
Steve Haude
Music
The sudden onset of the first lockdown in March 2020 forced us to think very quickly about how we might continue with musical activities without being able to meet physically. Our first virtual-choir performance was Stainer's "God so loved the world", and since then we've filmed more than 50 pieces of music, each choir member filming their part individually whilst watching a video of me conducting and listening to a backing track with headphones. The individual videos are then sent to Mark Levesley, who combines them all together into a single video, a process which requires a great deal of time and care.
During the non-lockdown months, we were, for the most part, able to resume singing together in church, albeit as socially distanced as possible. The need to reorganise the schedule of services for social distancing purposes reduced our available rehearsal time, but we were still able to prepare a good range of pieces on a weekly basis. I'm grateful to the choir for the additional preparation they put into the anthems and hymns during the week to make up for these shorter rehearsals.
The congregation has been unable to join us in singing the hymns for the entire pandemic, and we look forward to the time when this restriction will finally be lifted. Our carol service took on a different form this year, consisting entirely of carols performed just by the choir, and
supported by half a dozen virtual congregational carols which featured in our virtual carol service.
In a year which could have seen a complete halt in musical activities at St Peter's, I feel very fortunate to have been surrounded by people who have met the challenge head-on and allowed us to continue making music together. My sincere thanks go to the whole choir for their perseverance during this past year, to Eleri for contributing various virtual solo items, to Charles, Heike and Lucy for giving us a platform on which to perform in the form of the virtual services, to Alistair for live-streaming the physical services, and to Mark for all his work in combining all the choir videos together each week.

Children’s Work & Sunday Clubs
Due to the current circumstances, we have been unable to run any of our wonderful children and family events this year. However, in true St Peter’s style, we tried to keep calm and carry on! During lockdown we felt passionate about including the children and family in some virtual services. We had montages of the Lord’s Prayer created by the children and put together by the talented Stephen Downer, videos of children’s views on what ascension is, and videos of craft activities relating to bible stories also made by the children. So many families were involved and it kept us strong through a difficult time. In September, family services resumed in
church. This was an opportunity to change the way things were done and get the community more involved in the church services. Each week there would be a prayer written and delivered by a child, and a craft relating to the bible theme, also created by a variety of families. Whilst (at the time of writing) we are still not allowed to run Sunday Clubs we will continue with our family services trying to involve as many people as possible. This has been a challenging time for everyone and as a church we have shown how strong the community relations are and hope that this continues to grow this year.

Deanery Synod
The principal task of our local Deanery Synod - a subordinate body which reports to the Church of England’s governing General Synod - is to co-ordinate parishes’ contributions to the London Diocese’s Common fund. Synod meetings include financial reports, any voting and appointments which require to be made, and the major part of the evening is given to a presentation and interactive session, which allow for discussion, networking and learning from each other.
Because of the pandemic, there were fewer Deanery Synod meetings, in December 2020 and February 2021.
At the December Deanery Synod Bishop Graham shared London’s 2030 Vision, which came as a result to extensive listening and contributions from the parishes and people of London Diocese. The Vision is “For every London to encounter the love of God in Christ”. The way to achieve this vision is to nurture confident disciples, to build compassionate communities and contribute to creative growth, by becoming younger, safer and more racially diverse. Some key slides can be seen below:

St Peter’s Primary School
Links between the church and school continue to be strong. Many parents who attend worship at the church have children at St Peter’s School; and a number of regular worshippers from the church also serve as school governors. The vicar and curate take weekly assemblies at the school, and lead acts of worship for the whole school at significant times of the year, such as Harvest, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, and Easter. This year, of course (!), because of covid, this has all been done online, with the clergy recording or live-streaming acts of collective worship for the school, rather than leading worship in person.
Events
What an extraordinary year! The first event planned in 2020 was a Bingo Night for all ages, held on Friday 6 March. Young and old battled to get “full house” and fuelled their enthusiasm with hot dogs, beer, wine and soft drinks! We on the Committee rejoiced in the new “Buttery” and a good time was had by all. We raised £500.
And that was it! Who could have imagined what lay in store for us all a couple of weeks away? We battened down the hatches. In December Marie-Pierre Moine decided to raise everyone’s spirits – and about £800 in Events money – by selling some lovely, Christmas wrapped “mystery” cookery books and by organising an on-line Advent Calendar. Parishioners of all ages contributed music, readings and short talks and demonstrated crafts and recipes – one item released each day. This was enormous fun and greatly uplifting and there have been many requests for this to become an annual event. Many thanks MP – who may have landed herself a job for life!
Now we are looking forward to brighter days when we can all meet up once again.

Talkback
Talkback usually meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 55 Ashfield Road. We have a cup of tea and a chat for around 30 minutes and then start around 8.30. Someone leads the session and this past year we have discussed topics such as anger, terrorism, different passages in the bibles to name a few of the sessions. We talk about the topic, how relevant our faith is in the topic and look at relevant bible verses to the topic. This lasts for around an hour. It is a time of thought, discussion and reflection on our world and our lives today. We end the session with prayer.
However, for the past year we have meeting weekly on zoom with the first Wednesday of each month being a usual Talkback session, on the other weeks in the month we meet to say Compline together. This has been a very special time for us, a time of quietness and prayer.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this, please contact either Vicky Lambert or Simon Bruce for the zoom details. To be able to spend an hour out of our hectic and busy lives thinking about different aspects of life and our faith is very special. Please do come and join us.

The Parochial Church Council (‘PCC’)
The PCC works with the Vicar in promoting our mission. It shares the pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical work of the church. The PCC is responsible for the administration of the church property, the setting of an annual budget and the raising of funds to carry out the mission and to maintain and preserve the fabric.
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity, number 1135462.
The PCC comprises the Vicar, the Churchwardens, the Treasurer, the Deanery Synod Representatives and members who are elected at an Annual Parochial Church Meeting to serve for a period of three years. The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules.

We want to record our thanks to Nicholas Heaton, Stephen Downer, Ewan Thomson, Trelawny Williams and Kathryn Park who all stepped down from the PCC or Deanery Synod at the APCM in 2020, and whose help and advice over the years has been much appreciated.
The Events committee is responsible to the PCC. The PCC also receives reports from those who are responsible for finance, fabric, for children’s work and Sunday clubs, and safeguarding. Reports of the activities of the committees can be found in the Annual Review for 2020. There was no reported activity relating to St Peter’s link to Messumba in 2020.
The PCC met on five occasions in 2020. There are usually seven meetings a year, but two were omitted due to covid (March and July). Meetings were held via Zoom from May. Following permission from national church authorities, the APCM was delayed from April to October. In
addition to discussing administrative and financial matters, the PCC covered many other issues over the year, principally concerning matters arising from covid: closing of the church for public worship, arrangements for re-opening, provision for children and families within covid guidelines, technical equipment and live-streaming, music and the choir, pastoral care for those who were isolated, and Food Bank collections.
Other matters included: withdrawing from the resource church programme, the Quinquennial Report, adoption of safeguarding policy, school governor proposals, and the Common Fund. Much of the usual discussion about aspects of church life, such as events, choral scholars, concerts etc. was placed on hold for 2020.
Electoral Roll
Helen Kelly reported that the electoral roll currently stands at 208 (it had been 285 in 2018 and was completely cleared and restarted in 2019).
Church Attendance
Figures submitted to the Diocese for usual Sunday attendance during the period when the church was open for public worship (but excluding festivals or special occasions) in 2020 were 136 adults and 40 children. Over the Christmas period, despite covid restrictions, the numbers were substantially greater, with nearly 650 in total attending Christingle, the Carol Service, Midnight Mass, and Christmas Day worship (with a maximum safe capacity of 160 for each service, allocated via a booking system). This is considerably down from the usual numbers of over 1000 for these services.
There were 8 baptisms during 2020 and 7 funeral services or memorials during the year. No candidates were presented for confirmation, and no weddings were held at St Peter’s.
Safeguarding
The PCC confirms that it has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. Jackie Hall serves as the church’s safeguarding officer. We are extremely grateful to Cynthia Sparke for her work as the DBS checker: she is standing down from this role, which will be taken up by Lulu Crutchley. The church operates in accordance with the Diocesan policy and good practice guidelines in terms of safeguarding.
Fabric
A great achievement was the completion of the new kitchen - just in time for the lockdown! During 2020 work began to implement the recommendations of the late 2019 Quinquennial Report. This will be the subject of detailed consideration during 2021, and it is expected there will be major financial implications.
FINANCE
The Accounts and the Treasurer’s Report which follow set out the financial position. In summary, net expenditure exceeded income by £11,500. By the end of 2020 our reserves were £71,000.
Reserves Policy
The PCC aims to maintain general (unrestricted) reserves of around £100,000, which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted expenditure. However, in 2016 the PCC decided to reduce the reserves to a minimum of £50,000 and use the remaining capital to fund the fabric project.
We are still working to rebuild the reserve but the closure of the church because of the Covid19 pandemic reduced cash receipts. We are optimistic that with the church reopened, the introduction of contactless giving, and the savings on rent with the departure of our curate, we will be able to resume building reserves during 2021. However, we will soon be facing major expenditure on fabric.
The PCC annually assesses the major financial risks affecting St Peter’s Church and makes plans accordingly.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements.
1.1 Basis of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on 16 July 2014 (the Charities SORP (FRS 102)) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a “true and fair” view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Parochial Church Council (“P.C.C.”) is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
There are no material uncertanties regarding the Church's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Church, and are rounded to the nearest £1.
1.2 Legal form
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
1.3 Fund accounting
Restricted funds comprise revenue donations or grants for a specific P.C.C. activity intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on their pooled investment is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis.
Unrestricted funds are income funds which are to be spent on the general purposes of the P.C.C.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the P.C.C. for use in the future. Project funds are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Designated funds remain unrestricted and the P.C.C. will move any surplus to other general funds.
Details of all P.C.C. funds are set out in Note 7 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1.4 Income
Donations and legacies
Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the P.C.C. is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are reliably quantifiable.
Investment income
Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when it becomes due. Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer.
Gains/(losses) on investments
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.
All other incoming resources are accounted for gross.
1.5 Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the P.C.C. The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when paid; any contributions unpaid at 31 December are provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability, and are shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.
All other expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenses including governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
1.6 Fixed assets and depreciation
Consecrated property and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the P.C.C., and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s Inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property, acquired prior to 2000, there is insufficient cost information available, and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.
Subsequent to 2000, all expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings and on movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, has been written off when incurred.
Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment
Musical instruments used within the church premises are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Office equipments are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
1.7 Investments
Except where otherwise indicated in the notes to the financial statements, investments are valued at market value at 31 December.
1.8 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
1.9 Cash at Bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.10 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.11 Financial instruments
The church only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
1.12 Judgements in applying accounting policies
In the application of the Church's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates but are unlikely to be material.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Peter’s Church, Hammersmith
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 1 to 8.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1 Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements.
1.1 Basis of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on 16 July 2014 (the Charities SORP (FRS 102)) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a “true and fair” view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) rather than Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Parochial Church Council (“P.C.C.”) is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
There are no material uncertanties regarding the Church's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Church, and are rounded to the nearest £1.
1.2 Legal form
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
1.3 Fund accounting
Restricted funds comprise revenue donations or grants for a specific P.C.C. activity intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on their pooled investment is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis.
Unrestricted funds are income funds which are to be spent on the general purposes of the P.C.C.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the P.C.C. for use in the future. Project funds are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Designated funds remain unrestricted and the P.C.C. will move any surplus to other general funds.
Details of all P.C.C. funds are set out in Note 7 to the financial statements.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
