## **Annual Report** **&** ## **Financial Statements** ## **of the** ## **Parochial Church Council** **For the year ended 31[st] December 2022** **Ashley Samantha Ivy Haywood** **May She Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory** 2 ## **Vicar’s Report** In many ways, for St Andrew’s, 2021 was a year of two halves. The year began with another lockdown and a decision to hold online services until Mothering Sunday. We received Fr John Hawkins for his Archdeacon’s Visitation in May (The first he had held in person since the outbreak of Covid 19). His report was most encouraging and the church and community found to be in good order all things considered! However we continued to lament our inability to hold social functions and church attendance remained low. It was only after September that things started to feel more “normal” and we were able to host schools to celebrate harvest, restock the foodbank and put together a truly remarkable programme of music and arts events for the autumn. By November there was a concert or performance of some kind almost every week in the church or hall which helped us to reach out to the community and welcome many strangers through our doors, at the same time as tentatively spending time together in a more informal way. The particularly large attendance at the All Soul’s service highlighted the way in which Covid had made loss and bereavement even more challenging than usual and people had had to work through sorrows and grief in a far more isolated way. Pastoral care continued to be a challenge with restrictions and as the church opened up again we had to prioritise that care which we did by looking firstly towards the most isolated, the elderly and those who live alone. We worked hard to ensure the Memory Café and Lunch Club continued to offer in person fellowship once a week to all comers. We also found increasingly that the Can Bank was as much about offering people a place and time of human contact, as it was about the provision of food itself. I personally chose to put my energy into as many online Bible Study sessions as I could manage, as this also felt like a very positive place of connection, of humour, joy and community, even when we were still cautious of meeting together in person. Behind the scenes a great deal of work was also continuing. I would like to particularly thank the Standing/Finance Committee for diligently keeping an eye on a potentially very challenging financial situation. But in truth, the generosity of our congregation and the hard work of Juliette Winter to keep the buildings open meant we were able to end the year with a healthy bank balance. Another aspect of church life which deserves a mention is the music. The choir fought through isolations and resulting absences to deliver a truly spectacular carol service and even went out robed into the parish to sing at the doors and windows of those who were unwell, creating lasting memories and raising money for the Enfield Young Carers. Alongside this, the church band grew and really helped to raise the spirits at our children’s services. The Crypt N14, our very own music studio opened and by the end of the year was being well used. Perhaps the highlight of 2021 was the confirmation service, one of the first large events after all the lockdowns. Bishop Rob was on great form and baptised and confirmed a great many candidates. The choir sang beautifully and the servers enriched our worship with their dignified choreography. And, of course, being St Andrew’s, there was nibbles, wine and cake afterwards! _Fr Edward Turner_ 3 **The PCC of St Andrew’s Church, Southgate comply with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, in relation to having due regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.** ## _Safeguarding_ Safeguarding is at the very heart of our Christian faith. You hear the word “safeguarding” on the news, on the radio, read about it in the newspapers, but what does it actual mean? In very simple terms it means the action we take as a Church to promote a safer culture for all but with a particular emphasis on children, young people and vulnerable adults who are less able to look out for themselves. We carry out a Safe Guarding Audit each year, just after the newly appointed Parochial Church Council ( P.C.C.) meet for the first time, around April/May, to review all the measures we have in place to protect everyone and to see how we can improve further. It’s a never-ending cycle that needs to stay at the heart of everything we do and is everyone’s responsibility. It’s not just about making sure all our volunteers have a valid Data Barring Check (D.B.S) which I am pleased to say we do, all 38 of them. They also have undertaken on-line training courses applicable to their roles from a Basic Awareness Course right through to the newest course which was launched recently a Domestic Abuse Course. The Diocese of London have a dedicated support team that we can reach out to at any time for guidance and advice. They have just appointed a new Head of Safeguarding who has updated the resources on the website and created a monthly newsletter which is very helpful. I would just like to say a huge thanks to all who help keep everyone as safe as possible, who respond to my numerous requests for yet more training and their continued support. I would just like to close by saying please if you ever see something or hear something that just does not seem quite right to you, speak to me or Fr Edd or any of the P.C.C in confidence. We all have a part to play to help ensure of church environment is a safe and welcoming space for all. _Anne Anderson Safe Guarding Officer._ 4 ## **1. Aims and Objectives** St Andrew's Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Edward Turner, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church halls. ## **2. Objectives and Activities** The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St Andrew. The PCC maintains an overview of worship, outreach and charitable work throughout the parish. Our worship and activities put faith into practice through prayer, music, charitable giving and Sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: - Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ. • Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. - Missionary and outreach work. To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Andrew and the Church Halls. ## **3. Achievements and performance** ## **A) Children and Youth** ## _Toddlers_ Toddlers has gone from strength to strength since our return after lockdown. Since September we have been back to running our full session from 10 - 12 after Little Fishes every Friday. We are increasingly finding many parents are arriving just after 9am, who of course we are welcoming as it shows what a valuable resource the group is to them. Weekly fees are £3 per family and we are also offering for parents to pay for the half term (5 or 6 weeks) in advance at a reduced rate of £2.50 per week. So far take up for paying like this has been slow despite many people coming every week. The card machine is a popular payment method with many parents now using this method. We are getting around 30 - 35 families attending each week with new parents arriving regularly. Each week there is a craft activity which is linked to a specific event on the calendar from St Andrews Day to National Squirrel Appreciation Day. I am trying to keep costs of craft materials to a minimum by using many of the items we already have. 5 A few weeks ago we introduced real coffee which we make in the cafetière and decant into the pump action thermos. This has proved to be incredibly popular with many parents commenting on it, in addition it is quicker to serve which has allowed the teas and coffee to be easily served by one person rather than two. We have a great team of 8 volunteers including myself however we are always looking out for more people to come to serve tea and coffee. We are planning to send out a request via the school once we have sorted the safer recruitment process. ## _Philippa Santoro_ ## _St Andrews School_ In terms of school entry admissions, half the spaces for those starting in 2022 were already allotted to siblings even before church affiliated admissions were even considered. This is positive considering the current trend in the borough (and Greater London in general) of primary school applications. The board of governors attended an in-person evening session on campus earlier this year (the first in two years) to attend a workshop to discuss the anticipated Ofsted inspection. This was very informative and it was clear that the leadership team at St Andrew’s is taking a very proactive approach. On 01 March, St Andrew’s hosted a SIAMS review with Sally Moore, Primary Advisor, School Support Services (LDBS). She was very impressed with the incredible amount of work that has been done since her last visit. It was very clear from attending the whole school assembly and speaking to students that the new mission statement, ’ _Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with your God_ ’ Micah 6:8, has been embedded throughout the school. Some findings from the day are as follows: - Collective worship is well – planned, invitational and inclusive and involves pupils. - Father Edd provides teachers with resources for classroom collective worship · The vision is well – known and is beginning to be embedded in the life of the school. A lot of work has been done to ensure that the children understand the vision at an age appropriate level. All teachers have played their part in this and the evidence is in the RE books. - The children speak knowledgeably and passionately about the vision and are able to give examples of where it impacts on their own behaviour and attitudes. Pupil voice is strong. - RE books are very well presented. The syllabus is followed throughout the school and there are high expectations for the quality of pupils’ work. Children are challenged and provided with regular opportunities to think deeply about the big questions. They are developing their religious literacy skills and subject specific vocabulary is a key focus in each unit taught. 6 · The RE leader is strong and is able to communicate the expected outcomes of RE, supports teachers who are new to the subject in a church school and provides regular professional development opportunities. - Prayer opportunities are built into the school day, shared with parents, and pupils write their own prayers which are often used in whole school collective worship. - Each classroom has a reflection area and an RE board which displays the big question, key vocabulary and sometimes provides an opportunity for pupil voice. - The school is working on an inter-generational project with the local community and supports carefully chosen charities. _Jodie Commons_ ## _Sunday School_ Sunday school restarted in June 2021. We have held regular term time activities with the average number of attendees of 7. There is a core group of children attending weekly, with majority being pupils at St. Andrew’s Southgate or planning to continue their education there. The ages of the children at Sunday school range from 2 to 11; regular attendees and our largest audience group are 6-8 years old. We continue to use Blackburn Diocese Educational board packs that work well and are easy to adapt for our space and resources. To date, we have enjoyed obstacle courses, sock fights, some failed scientific experiments and weekly crafts and conversations. Our volunteer numbers decreased from 11 to 7 people that plan and deliver the sessions; we also have 2 helpers to assist younger children with crafts and activities. We are currently revising our recruitment protocols as per updated Church of England Safer Recruitment and People Management Guidance and aim to add new members to our team. If you’re interested in becoming a Sunday school volunteer, please speak to Fr. Edd or Alex James; no experience is necessary, and training and support will be provided. We would like to thank our congregation for patience and encouragement of Sunday school kids sharing their learning experiences during the main service. Thank you all for your feedback and ongoing support. _Alexandra James_ 7 ## **B) Worship and prayer** The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. With this in mind we have held Morning Prayer both on zoom and in person. This supplements the usual Sunday services: The main 10.30am Eucharist which is sung, the evening service which is in the style of the Taizé Community and the 9am Holy Communion which is spoken, and the Children’s Eucharist which are on the first Sunday of the month. We also have the very popular Little Fishes service for preschool children on Fridays. All are welcome to attend our regular services. The Electoral Roll as at 1 March 2022 for the year ending 31 December 2021 remains unchanged as no one has been in touch to request for their names to be removed. There has also been no new register or application received due to the pandemic. The next preparation of Renewal of Electoral Roll will be 2025, which means everyone must come off the Roll and re-apply. The Electoral Officer reports a total of 162 people registered; of which 75 of those registered live in the parish (45%) and remaining 87 (54%) of those registered live outside the parish within 10 mile radius to the church. There were no services from January to March owing to lockdown. We resumed 10.30am services on Mothering Sunday and Taizé services in September. The average attendance from March to December was 59 including both ordinary and special Sundays. As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God's blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. We have celebrated 3 baptism, 1 wedding and our ministers have officiated at 3 funerals this year. St Andrew’s school services partially happened in 2021. The harvest service took place with a small congregation and the Christmas service was recorded in the church with children but no parents present. We hosted the Osidge School Harvest and Christmas Services and hosted one school visit from De Bohan School. **Altar Servers.** After the resumption of services in the Church in the spring, servers started to be used once again. At first this was mainly the older children and the established servers but once the summer holidays had passed many of the younger children from the age of seven upwards were successfully recruited such that by the end of the year there were fifteen regular servers that could be called upon. Older teenagers away at university were asked to serve when they were at home during the holidays. Servers were used at all services except the Children’s Service on the first Sunday of the month and by the end of the year it was thought that a good idea would be to start a Server’s WhatsApp group in order to coordinate the rota and to communicate easily if children became unavailable for their scheduled turn. This has worked very well. 8 Going forward we will be trialling using four or six servers at some services so nobody has to wait too long for their turn. The support I have received from all the parents and carers in organising the rota has been absolutely brilliant and I would like to thank them for their commitment and also the commitment of their super children. Special thanks to our Head Server Jenny (who organises our children so well) and Tony our Crucifer for all their hard work. We look forward to expanding the team and their responsibilities. **Church Music.** Music at St Andrew's continues to bring so much joy- even more so now that in-person choir practises and services have resumed. Choir practise on a Friday 7-8pm has seen us expanding the range of harmonies sung to tunes in New English Hymnal and working on new anthems to be sung on Sundays such as 'How Shall I Sing That Majesty' (a piece so beautiful as to make heaven seem a bit closer). Inclusivity and enthusiasm have been in abundance. Another big aim is to encourage congregational singing on a Sunday morning and we will continue to work to make sure musical choices reflect this goal. On a Sunday evening the Taizé service brings calm and a space for reflection and music has expanded to include pieces from the Iona community and celtic songs from Lindisfarne. Highlights of the past year were 9 Lessons at Christmas where the robust numbers and hearty sound communicated the joy of the season and door-to-door carols also brought festive cheer to parishioners isolating with Covid. Easter Sunday saw another absolutely stunning effort from the band (with a Gloria that brought the house down). Special thanks go to Liz for organising the robes, Zoe and Hannah on the organ all the members of choir and the Sunday morning and Taizé bands and, of course, Fr Edd and Charlotte who share their talent and professional musicianship in a way that allows us all to be involved. _Katharine Robinson_ 9 **C) Pastoral care and social** **Hospitality and Social Events.** 2021 was a bleak year as far as social gatherings were concerned due of course ot Covid. However, come October things were looking brighter and on the 31[st] we were able to hold our annual All Souls’ Service, which was followed by coffee/tea and biscuits. And although still wearing masks, we were all able to gather together to chat and catch up. 6[th] November, Father Edd and Alex ran the annual fireworks display for the children with Jan and Jenny cooking up the hotdogs. This is always a great success enjoyed by children and adults alike! 29[th] November the Finchley Symphony Orchestra gave a really enjoyable concert which packed the church and to which we were asked to provde a bar (licence granted) together with a coffee/tea bar, both of which were very successful and made us a good profit. On 27[th] November the Southgate Symphony Orchestra ran a concert and again we provided a bar, selling wine, beers and soft drinks together with teas/coffees and hot chocolate. On the 30[th] November we had the confirmation service. Presiding over it was Bishop rob (Bishop of Edmonton) and there were many candidates. After the service there were sandwiches and nibbles for everyone to enjoy plus a glass or two of wine! Bishop Rob was persuaded to cut the confirmation cake so everyone could enjoy a slice. Again a really good social gathering. 3[rd] December was a children’s concert but they provided their own drinks for this occasion. 11[th] December the Adoramus Choir gave a beautiful concert – no alchohol was required but we provided tea/coffee and soft drinks. And 18[th] December the Philippino Choir gave a lovely concert both in the afternoon and the evening and again we provided the bar. The Christmas Craft Party run by Lisa of Artstop was a big success with refreshments organised by Juliette. We now have a bottle fridge in the kitchen so are able to build up our supplies and keep all the drinks at the temperature that is required to create a more professional bar. The other added advantage is our card machine as people tend to spend more money if they can put it on card! We are hoping that now the restrictions are lifted that in 2022 we will be able to run a few more social gatherings especially for the church community. It just remains for me to say a big thank you to Denise and Janice for all their invaluable help during the last year. _Trish Jones_ **Visiting.** Unfortunately regular services at the care home were still not possible in 2021. Home visiting by clergy was resumed. _Fr Edward Turner_ 10 ## **D) Mission and evangelism** **St Andrew’s CanBank turns 80.** For 80 Saturday mornings between 10 and 12 St Andrew’s food bank been open to anyone who pops their head round the door. The only question asked normally by Les is “do you prefer fish or meat” this helps make up more useful parcels and identifies vegetarians. Cups of tea, a friendly chat and a bag of food to take home – enough to make a couple of family meals or stretch the weekly shop. Unsure at first how it would work and where the supplies might come from the CanBank began with little more than Harvest Festival gifts and Father Edd’s optimism. With no cold storage facility we offer cans and long-life products. Donations in both cash and kind come from church members and other individuals, local churches and charities such as Southgate & Enfield Rotarians. Guests are old & young, male & female, regular and occasionally regular. We don’t pry but do get to know snippets “three kids”, “a Chelsea supporter”, “just four weeks old”, “looking after someone” and so we try to add a few treats people might like. A big thank you to all who volunteer and everyone who has donated. Particularly thanks to Les, Maureen, Andrew and Adrian who help week in week out – indeed Les has been at every CanBank session from day one. Practical support for our friends and neighbours is important for us all, thank you to everyone for your support. **Christian Aid** As with many other church activities, normal fund raising efforts were cancelled because of Covid. These would have included the, usually well supported, Circle the City organized by Christian Aid, fund raising in ASDA for two weekends, which usually raises a significant sum. There had also been plans to end the rounders and cake sale in Oakhill Park and replace that fund raiser with half of the proceeds from the annual Strawberry Tea and cake sale which, of course, did not take place. **Children’s Book Project.** Thanks to your generosity St Andrews have collected hundreds of children’s books for this amazing charity. Since January 44,000 Children have had the chance to take home two books of their own. The project works with schools, prisons, food banks and women’s refuges. Thank you all. _Diane Bowman_ **Bible Study.** Meeting on zoom, sessions have been very popular with over a dozen attending on a regular basis. In 2021 we studied the books of Daniel and Revelation. Catch up sessions were made available on YouTube. _Fr Edward Turner_ 11 **Confirmation Classes.** Classes were held over a 12 week period at St Andrew’s School. ## _Fr Edward Turner_ **Lunch Club and Memory Café** After lockdown all events (where feasible) were scheduled for Thursday in order to make it easier to keep the church cleaned and maintained in the safest possible condition. The Wednesday Lunch Club was moved to Thursday and resumed after the early year 2021 lockdown. This weekly event is an important meeting place for (mostly seniors) to catch up with other members of the congregation and meet new people. The lunch is very reasonable and is open to anyone, not just church goers. When it resumed the tables were set at a distance from each other and chairs were spaced out. It was well attended and, at a later date in the year was combined with the Memory Cafe run by Southgate Rotary on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. This has proved to be a very successful combination with everyone enjoying the camaraderie of being together and benefiting from the quizzes, music and entertainment provided by Rotary. It is anticipated that, as the Memory Cafe becomes more well known the attendance will increase and prove to be an even more important benefit for our local community ## _Tricia Webb_ **Baird Homes.** The Baird Homes committee met three times in 2021. The Charity is healthy financially having made wise investment decisions in the past, and the decision has been made to investigate making use of the money for the betterment of the community. We are regulated by the charity commission and that sets limits on what we can spend the money on- while we investigate these limits, we are upgrading our existing properties. ## _Clive Gomme_ **Other social action and community activity.** Various activities were hosted or supported by St Andrew’s church in 2021. This includes: The North London Anxiety Support Group, Overeaters Anonymous Group, Age Aware Footcare Service, Mature Movers, Artstop, Bangladeshi Over 50’s Association, NHS Blood Donation Service (three sessions in 2021) and acting as Polling Station for elections. 12 ## **E) Ecumenical Relationships** **Churches Together.** There were no Churches Together events in 2021 however the Street Pastors continued to meet and pray at St Andrew’s before beginning each of their patrols. **Deanery Synod.** 2021 was a year of reopening from the pandemic. Of the 3 deanery Synods of this period only the 1[st] was on zoom. The first meeting, in April 2020 saw the election of a new standing committee and a debate on The Edmonton Deanery response to the Diocesan vision 2030 – The following two meetings discussed how effective we are as a Deanery, how we can work together and co-ordinate more. The Deanery now has a Facebook Page to allow churches to communicate better. A committee has been set up to look at other initiatives, such as joint events. _Clive Gomme_ ## **F) Communication** We have used the following methods to inform members of the congregation and the people of the parish of all that happens at St Andrew’s: - Weekly Notice Sheet (with details of services and activities) (Only at the beginning of the year) - Notice Boards (which have been kept up to date and full) - Temporary banners (for special events and youth work) - Stand-alone board (to tell people when the church is open) - Website www.standrews-southgate.org - Email - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram - Whatsapp groups - Youtube ## **G) Sidesman’s report** The sidesmen appointed by the PCC for 2020 have not been called upon for their duties since the first lockdown in March 2020. Limited access to services in church has involved providing hand sanitising, offering face masks and recording contact details for those attending. We are very grateful to Chris Binns who has ensured in a quiet and friendly way that the guidelines and social distancing have been observed. 13 ## **H) Church building and fabric** 1. A Covid 19 risk assessment was updated as new regulations were announced. 2. Gutter maintenance was carried out by Ian Howell. 3. Organ maintenance and tuning was carried out by Vincent Coggins. 4. The fire extinguishers have been checked and serviced as necessary. 5. The logbook of repairs is maintained and filed. 6. The Terrier and Inventory has been digitised and maintained. 7.

A plaque was made by David Santoro for the small statue of Joseph. _Alex Lewis_ ## **I) Church halls fabric** 1. A risk assessment for Covid 19 was updated as new regulations were announced. 2. The fire extinguishers have been checked and serviced as necessary. 3. The boiler was repaired. 4. Privacy film was installed in the small hall due to unwanted attention. 5. Happy Drains was called to unblock the drain which runs between the church and hall after heavy rain resulted in overflowing toilets in the small hall. 6. A drain on the pavement side of the hall was unblocked after water from the flat was found leaking into the women’s toilets. 7. Two new LED spotlights were added to the lighting rig in the large hall. 8. The urinal in the men’s toilets was repaired. 9. The stage door was repaired but will need replacing before too long. 10. The radiators and pipes were painted in the large hall. 11. The flat was given a minor refurbishment ready for new tenants. _Alex Lewis_ 14 ## **J) Lettings and facilities** Happy Days Nursery School continue to be the main hirer of the Large Hall, hiring Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 3.00pm during the school term. They have been with us since 5 January, 2015. During the lockdown period at the beginning of 2021 (January to mid April) the Nursery School was the only business at the church halls permitted to operate and during this period they were able to work without the usual daily set up and pack down of equipment. Our cleaning costs were reduced during this period as the halls were quieter overall and the Nursery School were responsible for their own cleaning. The Nursery School paid their full rental income throughout 2021. At present we hire the premises to groups offering children’s education - currently maths, English and Spanish, and have several groups offering different types of adult exercise and fitness including Pilates and Zumba style workouts. We have several groups offering dance activities for adults and children. Many of these groups, in both the Large Hall and Dance Studio (formerly the Small Hall) have been at St Andrew’s for several years. Finchley and Friern Barnet Operatic Society joined us as a regular hirer in 2021, rehearsing in the Large Hall and hiring at a weekend for a public performance in December. We continue without taking party bookings, instead focusing on long term hirers with whom we can build a trusting relationship. Despite the interruption to normal business at the beginning of 2021, where many groups were suspended from operating due to COVID restrictions, the church halls have generated a good level of rental income in 2021 without the need to return to taking party bookings. The church is used by a number of musical groups both orchestral and choral, hiring in the evenings to rehearse and periodically at weekends for concerts. Southgate Symphony Orchestra rehearse on a Wednesday evening and the Haraya Choir on a Tuesday evening. The income from these groups has helped to keep the buildings heated throughout the week. We had a series of concerts in the church during 2021, several in the weeks before Christmas, all of which help to develop our relationships with local people and build our credibility as a good venue for future similar events. Cleaning costs were managed carefully again this year with a lot of volunteer assistance in the church halls and a paid cleaner from M&A Cleaning Services returning to some regular hours in the halls from July 2021, increasing in paid hours as the activity in the halls increased. Some cleaning in the church was paid for during November and December when the weekend concerts were taking place. Gas use has been carefully monitored during the year with frequent adjustments to the programmable central heating timer in the church halls and similar in the church but by daily manual adjustments when needed. With further replacement of light bulbs and fluorescent tubes in both church and halls to LED lighting and regular monitoring of the buildings in person we have endeavoured to ensure electricity usage for lighting has been managed economically. Attention was paid to the lighting in the church before the concerts in the autumn and winter months with some brighter LED bulbs and spotlights replaced in the nave. The flush mechanism in the church toilet was replaced for the third time with a push button flush which continues to work well and stood the test of the increased attendance _Juliette Winter_ 15 ## **4. Financial review** Overall, 2021 was a better year financially than we expected. Our overall surplus was £23,993. Included in this is a large donation for the music studio of £10,249. ## **Expenditure:** Our expenditure was contained and was £842 under our budget of £102,500. We did not have many very large items but did keep up with maintenance and critical repairs such as to our boilers. Our largest expenditure is £37,800 for the Diocese f London Common Fund. This was at the same level as for 2020 but below 2019 level which was £51,150. Discussions about the 2023 Common Fund will start in May and the PCC needs to consider whether we maintain or increase our Common Fund contribution. ## **Income:** Compared to 2019 income from Hall lettings recovered to £44,476. This is £5,562 more than 2020 but still well below the pre-pandemic figure of £60,334. We had income of £8,150 from the Hall Flat. This is only part year income and we should have more income from rental of the flat in 2022. Stewardship and open collections were down compared with 2020 by £9,651 but above 2019 levels. Church rental recovered to close to 2019 levels at £6423. As noted above we had a large donation for the music studio. ## **Assets:** The Hall Flat has increased in value in line with overall residential property values. Our investments have also increased significantly due to the good year for the stock market and especially commodities in 2020. There is an outstanding issue about how to value the Hall. Our independent examiner has raised issues with our current approach as did our previous examiner. We currently change the value each year in relation to increases or decreases in rental income. We are trying to arrive at a better approach to valuation without going through the expense of employing a valuer. ## **Prospects for 2022** Looking to this year we will have substantially increased utility costs and we have just completed the installation of new windows in the Hall. This is a good investment but the cost is over £25,000. It is suggested the PCC assign the remaining sum in the Eileen Hayes legacy fund to this expenditure. Use of the Hall and of the Church is increasing and we can expect more income from these sources but with pressure on household budgets we should not expect increased giving through stewardship and open collections. Full details of the accounts are presented at the end of this document. 16 ## **5. Structure, governance and management** St Andrew’s Church is within the area of Enfield, the Deanery of Edmonton and the Diocese of London. It is managed according to the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. PCC members are either ex officio (the Vicar, Curate, Church Wardens and Deanery Synod representatives) or are elected at the Annual Parish Church Meeting by members of the congregation who are on the church electoral roll. The PCC may also co-opt members and invite guests to its meeting who do not then have voting rights. The PCC members are charity trustees, bearing responsibility for its income and expenditure and for making all decision on matters affecting the management of the church. PCC members during 2021were Vicar The Reverend Edd Turner (Chairman) Church Wardens Pennie Bongomin and Alex Lewis Deanery Synod reps Julia Chen and Clive Gomme Elected members Anne Anderson, Cordella Bart-Stewart, Chris Binns, Diane Bowman, Jodie Commons, Pam Dean (Secretary), Colin Green, Trish Jones, Philippa Santoro, Judith Stones and Tricia Webb Also attending Juliette Winter The PCC met on nine occasions during 2021, by Zoom with 77% attendance. Zoom meeting were very successful in drawing the PCC together. The Standing/Finance Committee reported regularly to the PCC on St Andrew’s income and expenditure.

**by fund**|Unrestricted at 31/12/20| |---|---| |Tangiblefixed assets|407675.64| |Investment assets|52322.18| |ChurchChairs|18092| |Current assets|61350.37| ||539,440.19| ## **Note 11 Accounting Policies** These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Church Accounting Regulations 1997 as amended in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2017 with applicable accounting standards and charities SORP. ## **Funds** General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. The accounts do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. ## **Incoming resources** Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. Funds raised by events and sale of books and magazines are accounted for gross. Rental income from letting of Church premises is recognised when the rental is received. Investment income is accounted for when receivable. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December. ## **Resources Used** Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 31/10/21 10 The diocesan Common Fund is accounted for when payable. Any Common Fund unpaid at 31 December is an operational (though not legal) liability and is therefore shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. ## **Fixed Assets** Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts section 96 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable Church Furnishings held by the Vicar and Church Wardens on special Trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church’s inventory. For inalienable property acquired prior to 1 January 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and there fore such assets are not valued in the accounts. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings, individual items under £2,000 or the repair of movable Church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off when the asset is acquired. Other movable Church furnishing and equipment used within the Church premisses is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected lifetime e.g. Church Chairs. At present the Church Chairs are being depreciated over 20 years. The Church Hall (land, building and contents) is given a value in use by appreciating or depreciating the value in the previous year by the increase or decrease in Hall lettings. The hall flat is valued as a property investment using the Nationwide Building Society London House Price Index. Investments are valued at market value on 31 December. ## **Reserves Policy** In accordance with guidelines from the Charity Commission and the Church of England, the PCC intends to keep reserve of three months expenditure £25,414 at the end of 2021 in liquid assets for the General Fund in order to manage cash flow and handle emergencies. At the end of 2021 the General Fund had £61,350 in immediately available funds. In longer term investments the PCC had £52,322.18 primarily from legacies. ## **Risk Management Policy** The PCC does not currently have a formal risk management policy. ## **Related Parties** Members of the PCC are trustees of the Charity. No remunerations were made to PCC members and their close relatives during 2020. 31/10/21 11 ## St. Andrew’s Church Southgate - Accounts 2021 ## **Income** |Actual

This value is the cost of reinstatement if there was a total loss of the hall and flat building. Flat valued using Nationwide House Price Index. The total insured value of the hall and flat is £2,960,000. The insurance schedule is attached. Should we use this as the valuation of both the hall and flat and not account for the flat value separately which we change each year using the Nationwide House Price index? This would be more straightforward and has the same result as valuing the flat in relation to the housing market valuation and then deducting this from the insured value of the hall and flat. Chairs depreciated by £1392 a year. Investments valued on 31[st] December 2021.

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. The accounts do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. ## **Incoming resources** Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. Funds raised by events and sale of books and magazines are accounted for gross. Rental income from letting of Church premises is recognised when the rental is received. Investment income is accounted for when receivable. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December. 07/06/2022 9 ## **Resources Used** Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan Common Fund is accounted for when payable. Any Common Fund unpaid at 31 December is an operational (though not legal) liability and is therefore shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. ## **Fixed Assets** Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts section 96 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993. Movable Church Furnishings held by the Vicar and Church Wardens on special Trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church’s inventory. For inalienable property acquired prior to 1 January 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and there fore such assets are not valued in the accounts. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings, individual items under £2,000 or the repair of movable Church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off when the asset is acquired. Other movable Church furnishing and equipment used within the Church premisses is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected lifetime e.g. Church Chairs. At present the Church Chairs are being depreciated over 20 years. The Church Hall is given a value based on its insured value less the value of the hall flat. The hall flat is valued as a property investment using the Nationwide Building Society London House Price Index. Investments are valued at market value on 31 December. ## **Reserves Policy** In accordance with guidelines from the Charity Commission and the Church of England, the PCC intends to keep reserve of three months expenditure £25,414 at the end of 2021 in liquid assets for the General Fund in order to manage cash flow and handle emergencies. At the end of 2021 the General Fund had £61,350 in immediately available funds. In longer term investments the PCC had £52,322.18 primarily from legacies. ## **Risk Management Policy** The PCC does not currently have a formal risk management policy. ## **Related Parties** 07/06/2022 10 Members of the PCC are trustees of the Charity. No remunerations were made to PCC members and their close relatives during 2020. 07/06/2022 11 ## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Andrew’s Church Southgate Parochial Church Council I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 1 to 11 of the annual accounts. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act); - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below. In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
