## **Risk Assessment**
The PCC conducts regular Risk Assessments, and is confident that it has reacted appropriately to the risks it encounters. Financial Risk is minimised by robust accounting procedures, and strict procedures for the counting and receipt of monies. Burglary is a major risk and the PCC has undertaken a number of preventative measures. Fire protection is well maintained and the Incumbent and Administrator are Fire Marshall trained. Health and Safety has been risk assessed and the Incumbent, Administrator, Caretaker and other staff are First Aid trained. The Incumbent, Administrator and Caretaker regularly review the premises for other Health and Safety issues and take appropriate remedial action. The Incumbent is DBS checked, as are any other adults who have unsupervised access to children.

The PCC 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.
## **Church Attendance**
Because of the pandemic, average church attendance is hard to estimate. The average church attendance on Sundays when church was OPEN before the first lockdown was 48, an understandable drop from previous years. During first lockdown, we did not keep numbers of those who zoomed in. The average attendance between first and second lockdown was 38. In addition an average of approximately 30 watched on zoom. When we reopened, the average attendance was well down at 29, but with approximately 34 watching on zoom.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PAUL, COVENT GARDEN TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **Overview of Church activities**
The Church was built in 1633, the first church to be built and dedicated for Anglican worship since the Reformation. It was formally dedicated in September 1638 and regularly established as a parish by Act of Parliament in 1660. It has continued as an Anglican place of worship since then.
In 2020, due to the pandemic the normal range of our activities was massively reduced. When the national lockdown was announced, we only missed one Sunday before moving to zoom. So:
34 Sunday Eucharists were conducted in church ( _the rest, minus one, were celebrated on line) (52 in 2019)_
58 weekday Eucharists were conducted. (104 _in 2019)_
6 Choral Evensongs were celebrated (12 _in 2019)_
1 Baptisms were conducted (0 _in 2019)_
4 Marriages or blessings of marriages were conducted (3 _in 2019)_
2 Funeral Services were conducted – this does not include funerals at local crematoria, which, as a result of the pandemic, were considerable up (3 _in 2019)_
3 Memorial services were conducted (13 _in 2019)_
2 carol services or carol concerts were conducted (24 _in 2019)_
_(6 others were recorded and later streamed)_
We also hosted a ‘Wish You a merry distance’ carol event in the garden.
2 other services were conducted (16 _in 2019)_
2 School Masses and Services were conducted (6 _in 2019)_ We hosted 35 concerts and theatrical performances. (120 _in 2019)_
0 garden events (6 in 2019)
In total therefore we conducted approximately 150 events in 2020. This compares with approximately 400 events in 2019.
## **Public Benefit**
In 2020, we continued our close links with the local community – particularly with **Covent Garden London** , ( _the owners of the Piazza_ ), the **Covent Garden Community Association** , **In and Around Covent Garden** , the **Covent Garden Area Trust** and others.
The Incumbent is Vice Chair of Governors of **St. Clement Danes School** , and visiting Priest. He undertakes a number of duties for the school, including interviewing potential staff, deals with disciplinary matters, has a weekly meeting with the Headteacher, and takes a weekly assembly. We also conduct 8 School Masses annually, and host a number of other school events, such as the Easter Service.
The Incumbent continues as a Director of the **London Academy Trust.**
The Incumbent continued as Chair of Governors of **The Courtyard, St. Mary Magdalene Academy** , a Special School for children on the autism spectrum. This work continued through 2020
In 2020, because of the pandemic, we worked closely with TCUK and with SOLT to try to help the theatre industry in crisis.
In 2020, because of the pandemic **Iris Theatre** were unable to perform their normal repertoire, but did a number of ‘pop up – events in the garden in late August.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **Future Plans**
In 2021, we will focus on recovery of church attendance, financial recovery and rebuilding our concert and theatre business.
## **Fabric Report**
In 2020, because of the pandemic, very little work was done to the fabric of the building. We did, however, redecorate the office. We also undertook some re-wiring of the building, some kitchen repairs,
## **Financial Review**
Due to the pandemic both Income and Expenditure were significantly down on the 2019 figures. We achieved an overall surplus of £28,142 compared to £10,292 in 2019.
We are fortunate to have significant reserves of £1.5m which will be used to maintain the fabric of the building and sustain the long term future of the charity.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the accounts**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PAUL, COVENT GARDEN NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **8 Trustees**
This year there were church expenses of £31,784 paid for by the Treasurer Mrs Marisha Widdas and she was reimbursed £30,244, the charity still owes her £1,540 at the year-end. This was due to banks being closed as a result of COVID, not having online bank (unable to make bank transferred) and cheques being refused as forms of payment, therefore to fulfil payments the treasurer covered the expenses and was reimbursed by the charity. The only other member of the PCC received any reimbursements for expenses or remuneration was Mr D. Alexander who received £3,000 (2019: £3,000) as sacristy verger.
