PCCI: Charity Number 1137599.
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 De￿rnber 2021, which are set
out on pages 6 to 10 of the Annual Report.
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner
The members of the PCC (the charity's trustees) are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements. The members of the PCC consider that an audit is not required for
this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Chartties Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions grven by the Charity
Commission (under section 145{5)(b)) of the Charities Act,. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Inde￿ndent Examlnerfs 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 members of the PCC 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil 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 Examlner's Statement
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 accounkn'ng records in accordan￿ with section 130 of the Charities Act;
and
to prepare accounts which accord wrth the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirerrEnls of the Charities Act have not been met,. or
{2) to which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the accounts to be reached.

THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. WERBURGH, WEMBURY
Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for Year ended 31.12.21
Aims and Purposes
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Werburgh, Wembury Ihereinafter
called the PCC) has the responsibility of cckoperating wrth the incumbent Team Rector, th6
Reverend Alan Ryan and the Team Vicar, the Reverend Kim Lovell. In promoting in the e¢clesiastical
parish, the whole mission of the church - pastoral, evangeliGal. social and ecumenical.
Objoctives and Activltles
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possibFe to worship at the church and to
become part of the parish communty of St. Werburgh, Wembury The PCC maintains an overview
of worship and undertakes a revision of our printed serVi￿S on a regular basis, together with the
clergy team, to ensure that our services continue to involve as many people as possible who live
within the parish and others who wish to share in our worship Our SeNi￿S and worship put faith
into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sa¢rament. When planning our activities for
the year Ihe PCC have considered the Charty Commission's guidance on public ben&fit and, in
particular, the specific guidan￿ on chanties for the advancement of religion. We especially aim to
enable ordinary people to live out their farth as part of our parish community through..
Worship and prayer. leaming about the Gospel. and developing their knowledge and trust
in Gt)d as revealed in the life and teaching of Jesus
Provision of pastoral c2re for people INing in the parish
Missionary and outreach work
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. Werburgh and
its surrounds to a high standard.
Achlevements and Perfomiance
Worship and Prayer
The PCC is always keen to offer a range of services, not only on Sundays, but also during the week,
that our community will find both beneficial and spirrtually fulfilling. Our worship fomiat is formal and
informal applied in a style to help everyone to be V￿l¢Omed and involved.
In nomial circumstances there has been a range of services offered during the month both at the
church of St. Werburgh and sometimes at another Mission Community church. These have included
a regular monthly Together at Ten servi￿ with other Mission Communty churches, as well as a
hybrid Holy Communion 10.00 am Servi￿ which is both in the church of Holy Cross, Newton Ferrers
and is sent out live on Zoom for those in the Mission Communty who are vulnerable, shielding or
cautious.
During the pandemiG, the Morning Prayer worship has been widened from one moming a week lo
five days online, from Monday to Friday.
As well as our regular seNices, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the
milestones of the joumey through ljfe. There have tEen 20 funerals, 4 baptisms and 16 weddings.
Impact of Comnavirus pandemic
We reverted to only online services in January 2021, as part ofthe pandemic lockdown, and resumed
ServI￿S in late March. The vast majorty of these services have been at 10.00 am and have been a
combination of Parish Communion, Moming Worship and Together at Ten. These services have
been shared with the rest of the Mission Communty through Zoom.
Page 1

We have continued to take precautions throughout the year, including social distancing, the weanng
of masks and limitalions on singing.
Attendances have been lower than in normal times due to people Isolating or being uncomfortable
with wearing masks to ¥Norship Zooming the servi￿$ has provided the opportunty for these groups
of people and others to access our ServI￿S throughoLrt the year.
Plate collections, including yellow envelopes. were signfficantly down on normal years.
We were able to hold two fundraising events during the year raising funds for the upkeep of the
Church.
As we had not been able to raise the necessary funds. we were unable to commence the final phase
of the remedial works to the Church T¢)wer during 2021. However, we now have the ne￿sSary
funds and authorisation will be given for the works to Commen￿ as soon as possible. In the 2020
report it was mentioned that the Quinquennial survey carned out in 2020 had identified problems
with our bells and that we V￿re awaiting a rewrt from Nicholson Engineering Ltd. The report, which
was received in January, identrfied work that required immediate attention and this work was
completed in April al a cost of £1,237. However. this same report also identified work that needs lo
be undertaken in the next five to seven years. after this time the bells would be considered unsafe
to ring. The cost of this addrtional work was quoted as being £75,500.
At the church of St. Werburgh, V￿ continue to struggle in this period of Un￿rtaInty, and again, we
were unable to meet the diocesan share in full.
On Going Conc&m
The pandemic has impacted on the income for St. Werburgh Church in 2021. The PCC has reviewèd
budgets and forecasts for receipts and payments for 2022 and anticipate a shortfall in this year,
Diocesan and Deanery Synods
The parish had two represenlatives at Deanery Synod.. the main areas of discussion have
continued to be mission areas, with the leader of Chrislian Surfers UK speaking about engaging
young people and a speaker talking about Anna Chaplaincy
Mission and Ev8ngelism
In 2021 w& slarted an informal aftemoon Servi￿ on a monthly basis in the village hall. The idea
behind this is to develop a ministry for those couples who come to be married and for the baplism
families. So far, attendan¢e has been around 25 to 30. Young and old engaging in infomial worship
together.
Hélping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. During the year St. 1Olerburgh Church has
raised funds of £2.031. which have been distnbLrted amongst various charrties both at Home and
Overseas. The chanties beneffting from our grants were..
Granls of behyeen £250 - £500.. St Luke's Hospice
Grants up to £250- Alzheimerfs Society, Arts & Minds Project. Children's Hospi￿ SW,
Church Urban Fund, Compassion UK. Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, Dementia UK, Devon
Air Ambulan￿. Gable Fann. J-A-C-K. Plymouth Foodbank. Plymouth Street Pastors,
Salvation Army, Royal Brrtish Legion, Wembury RNLI, Wembury Surgery.

Flnancial Review
The financial statements and accompanying notes on pages 5 to 10 of this report provides a
detailed analysis of our income and expenditure for the year.
Total receipts on our unrestricted and designated funds were £70,124. In addition, restricted
donations of £7,119 were also received.
Over the year we have seen the receipts from planned 9iving via the Parish Giving Scheme IPGS)
in¢rease by 4.OOA. Being in the PGS ensures a steady flow of donated funds, which helps with
financial rnanagement and budgeting
enabling us to efficiently continue serving the whole
communrty. By the end of 2021 we had 60 indtvidualslcouples as members of the PGS. We will seek
to encourage more individuals to transfer over to this method of donation in 2022.
We are extremely grateful for the legacy of £5,OC4J r￿1Ved from the estale of Mrs Audrey Bridges
and the generosity and support of all those parishioners who have continued with their financial
support during these very challenging times.
£52,346 was spent to provide the Christs'an ministry from St. Werburgh Church. This includes our
contribution towards the Di0￿san Parish Share, which enables mission and ministry to be provided
across our diocese. The parFsh share that each church in the diocese is asked to find is calculated
according to a formula that is based mainly on the numter of people in rts worshipping community.
Our parish share for 2021 was £43,806. which was a 13 6% decrease on the previous year.
However, in view of the continued impact of Covid-19 on our income during 2021 and the fad that
we were unable to undertake the fund raising activrties that we would have wished, the PCC decided
that we would only pay £26.806 towards our pansh share. The £17,000 withheld would then enable
us lo proceed with the urgently needed Phase 2 of the Tower Restoration Project.
The expenses of the Yealm & Emie Mission Communrty are shared between the six member
churches according to a formula that is based on the number of recorded participants for each
church. Our Mission Communty share for 2021 was £2.654, which was paid in full.
As will be seen from the financial statement on page 8, the net ￿sUIt of the year was an excess of
re￿iptS over payments of £24,897. Whilst our bank balance of £22,032 at the end of 2021 looks
healthy it must be pointed out that this comprises £17,264 of uncleared cheques and £3,100 of
monies held as deposits for weddings to be held in 2022 and 2023.
The balance of our unrestricted and designated funds hekl In our Central Board of Finance (CBFI
accounts was £27,606 as at the 31 December 2021.
Our main challenge for 2022, apart from trying to meet our Diocesan Parish Share, will be to raise
monies towards the repairs required to the Bells and Bell frames.
Rèsorves Policy
The main purpose of holding cash reserves is to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and meet any
emergencies that might arise.
It is PCC policy to maintain, rf possible, a balan￿ on unrestricted funds which equates to three
months. unrestncted payments (pre Covid-19 this was equivalent to approximately £25,000) to cover
unforeseen situations that may anse from time to time. Taking into account the £17,264 of uncleared
cheques. the balance of our free reserves as at 31 December 2021 was £33,020. which is above
our target.
It is our policy to invest our funds balances wilh the Central Board of Finance (CBF) Church of
England Deposit Fund.
