Persevernnce- not giving up - 15 an essential part of our Chrisrian faith. God want5 US to persevere no matter vthat happens. For the second 5ucce5siYe year. we have had to learn how to overcome the challenges. obstacles. difficukies and tria15 which we a5 a church family faced, directly and indirettly, as a result of the Impacr of the Covid pandemic. In the midst of rhe rapidly rising number of Covid cases during the first half of 2021, our individLRI an¢J collective faith mOti￿4ted us to persever& no matter whai we faced. As trustees. we want ro tell our story of how as a church we have adapted to living with Covid. In particular, the actions we took to keep the church witness alive within the wider communlry, to support those members who understandably felt isolated and cut-off from human contacc to reassure those who feared the worse for themselves and for their familie5, and to draw near to those vtho had rK) one to turn to for cornfort and communicapon during the lengthy lockdowns. As a charity operating for the PUl￿1C benefil we take seriousty our ducy to prorect our members. our hall hirers and users. and the public who visit the premlses to worship, and tts shop. Protecting people and keeping them safe has been a hallmark of our approach. Ours Is a scory of Perseverance- keeping going despite the obmcle Providing Pastoral 5UPPOrt to keep mordle up. Planning for vny5 to keep all those who used our premises safe on reopening. Preparing for the inevitable influx of newcomers into Paddock Wood. some of whom have started ro a￿Thd our church. Sn search olfriendship and fellow5hlp. This the biggest challenge we faced when the year began. As January the I" came. Kent vrns already in Tier 4 of the Government's Covld measures. We had for the first time in our history at Sr Andrew's had to cancel our physical Chriszmas services. It was sadly clear thac rhe resE of the counrry was seeing an increase in number5 of infection. and so on the 6" January England vftnt Into its 3" lockdown. From having had a good reopening after rhe first lockdown in 2020 we went back to onllne servlces and held our Lent course via Zoom. Thi5 later evenl certainly had a great up take but as 15 usual with modern technol¢>gy Ihere were some initial gremlins! The video format of service5 allowed once again the opportuniy to record some intrrviews with people arbd to receive report5 from mission panners. an aspect we have carried on into some of our l 0.30am services.

During lockdown 3 we also managed to continue w meet the majority of our cornmitments as a Church Council. in our school's worl to home group members. and with the occasional soclal event. Sharon also ran a 5uc¢essful Alpha course on Zoom and thi5 has certainly given u5 ideas to follow up for those not able to come out of an evening. In truth eyeryching took much longer to prepare and deliver and l am grateful to all those who helped support and deliver everything from weekly prayers through to our online services and 50 much more. We must at this point thank John Dean for his SUPPQrt in helping pur togecher rhese online services, for his patience and concern to make it 'right on the night. and hi5 professionalism. Wlth an eye on the future and the releaslng of lockdown. meetings were continually regarding when to bring staff back from furlough, how we open up gradually to both hall users and church servlces, and how we would reassure members of the congregation that it wa5 safe to return. Again a grea¢ amounc of thanks mus¢ go to Rachel Smrth who helped and guided us back at the various stages of change that occurred in 2021. We were glad to set our sights on an Easter reopenin£ which thankfully happened and through the 5ea50n of perseverance. which brought tiredness and challenge, resurrectii)n was experien¢ed. This area of the churches life was once again given high pri¢yity not only by those In leadership but generalty by the whole cowegatioTr. On a more fornial basls the congregation had been divided Inw 2. groups with home group leaders look after those they would normally have suppor￿. Whilst the remaining120 members dlvided irlto groups with a narned person who would make contact from rime to (ime. However, we are a150 avrare that many from the congregation supported friend5 and neighbours and lived out their Chrlsrlan calling in very practical ways. We were also con5CiOU5 of those vtho had kindly agreed to go on furlough (our paid sraffj, and Line managers and the Vicar reached out to them from time ro time to reassure them they had not been forgotten, and to glve some locus to the conversarion around po￿ntial return dates. The Steering group mei on a weekly basis to re￿eW the ministry of St Andrew's and where possible to guide and support care directed to individua15. Prayer was also an Impor¢ant part of the weekly meecing and we experience some real encouragemenr5 and answers to those prayers. Some of rhi5 work still coniinues especially focused on those who we have not seen return to the congregation in worship. During the Last two Yea￿ lives have changed health wise, for some increased anxiety, and for others the needs to be transporEed to church have increased. Whilst we do our best to respond to some of 'human re50urce5 at this end has a150 decreased. This has then had a knock on effecc where our Home Communion numbers has increased during 2020.

Finally. pastornl support was also offered by our church through Ihe continued support of The Communiry Storehouse and rhe Christmas lunches- again delivered to households. A new enterprise supporring families during school holidays called FEAST was a150 Started in the summer. and this is currentty in a pilot phase before we fully commi¢ to rt. nni For much of the lasr years, time hJs been spent planning. risk assessing. lisTrning to people working through a list of restrlcuons and guidelines in addition to planning for Services and to keep the life of St Andrew'5 going. We have all had ro be ivnre of what ha5 or hasn't been allowed. what safeguards ro put into place. and to read what the general public wish to see. Throughout thi5 time the congregacion has regularly been infomied of changes that have needed to be made vla letter, or em211. We have Taken as our central concern the desire to keep all safe and co ask people to remember it is not just ourselves but others with hidden needs tsr concerns. This it was felt was the righr appropriace Christian response to take. think not only of ourselves, but of other5. Due to the Covid restriction our halls in parricular suffered financially. A great deal of effort VAS put into looking out for the In￿reSt of the hall users, both in pastoral care and supporL Phone calls during lockdown, working wlth them for a pocenrial opening, moving hall usage around to maximise use and numbers. New Tenns and cor￿1￿1)n$ were written to reflect each stage and posr lockdovm scenario. Our usual prattice of planning for a year ahead has not happened due Eo the uncertainty and so general planning of evencs. services etc. have been raken quarterly. However, that does nor mean that we haye not been keeping our eyes on the future. Coming out ol lockdown and opening ro physical events has seen a number of surprises and encouragemerbts. We changed the time5 of our serylces from 8.IX>am to 9.00am and l O.00am to l 0.30am. The first of these service5 has seen a great increase in attendance, maybe in part at the cost of the 10.30am service. but it has been good to see chis service Ydlued. Our l 0.30am remains our maln Se￿Ce and it is to rhis seThice that we have seen the majority of newcomer5 attending. In September we held a newcomers tea and fourteen people were in attendance. Since then we have seen another six people actend in 2021. Some come with a faith ready formed. others are searching, bur we look forward to encouraging them all to make St Andrew's their spiritual home and to journey with u5. To help those new to the church and our existing member5 get to know each other we have during our seryices been running 'This Time Tomorrow.. an opportunrty for people to share testimonies about themsefves and let people know who each other are.

We have conrinued to reach out to the new housing development in Paddock Wood {Mascalls Grange) and have door knocked at the times of major festi￿￿15, offering invitrs ro services. Ac Christmas we held an ecumenical carol singing evening with mulled wine and nibbles which despite the weather went down well. With the new development near Foalhur5t Wood starting to be occupied we will reach out to these homes in Easter 2022 and will need to Sfart reaching out to Ehose on Church Farm larer this year. Our 2021 Lent appeal vlas co supporc our ACTS 2 Fund which vrds set up some 13 years ago by a former curate. This fund has helped and SUPFX>rted individua15 in financial need with a one off glfL Wlth new monles this year we were able to help one or trio people who had been drawn to our attention, and the congregaoon a150 responded with help in other ways. Finally the developmenc of individuals gifts and ttlents has also been worked on in some quarters. During the summer three members of the congregarion embarked on Hearing God's Word, Teachin8 God 5 Word a course developed by Rochester Diocese to train people in becoming occasional preachers. Sue Chalkley, Peter Hammerton and Matthew Watts underwok this course and in the beginning of 2022 it is hoped we will hear them preach their first semon at St Andrew's. We are also expkjring with a member ol che cler&y the p0$5ibiliry of him having Permission to Officiare at St Andrew's granted by the &'5hop which we hope will be in 2022.

Sarah Sadly due to Covid we did not have the opporwnicy to meet up either as a leadership team or as congregations during 2021. Furthermore Father Tesafamichael left Stjustus for a new appointment and wa$ replaced by Fathtr Saju Thomas who again Irjoks after Paddock Wood and Tonbridge Roman Catholic churches. We have already met Thvice and had shared lunches together and have been working on the Week of Prayer for Christian Uniry 2022 service. Already there feels a p0S￿Ve feel to the reLationship and hope it will grow and develop.

In 2021 Paddock Wood Baptist Church left the Primary school which they had been using for a base and came to hire one of aur halls on a Sunday evening. Thi5 we understand has worked well for them and we have enjoyed two open air services with them and more recently a Christma5 Day Service at which their Pastor S¢eYe Collingw¢>od preached. 8 of us mec weekly via Zoom between June and Nov .21 (viith a break in August!). Some came from St Andrew5 and also Tonbridge Methodisr Church. one from Edinburgh and one from Peterboroughl It was so good to Share together aboui the Christian faith- to explore and to ask quesrions. The weekly wdeos were engaging and helped us reflect on our own thinking. I admlred the honesty and the frlendships that developed in the group- Zoom was no barrier.

This has been partially offset by the receipt of Furlough and other Governrnent Grnnrs. The nec result for the year, before rewaluition of the Halls complex, is an overall deficit of £31,475 (2020 £37.397) of which £33.243 (2020 £34,179) Yns the charge for Depreciation of the Halls and equipmenL The balance ol free reserves is now reduced 10 £37.338. which is well below the amount the Trustees consider should be retsined lor working capital. It Is. of course, hoped that for the current year. the Halls will be able io operare more normally and for this reason. a break*¥en position is budgeted. However, for the Church's operations there needs to be a signrficanc increase in income to avoid a further drain on our re5er¥es.

The Trus￿e$ identified no material uncerfainEies or Covld-19 i55ue5 which would mean that the Church would be unable ro operate for the forseeable future. In che case of the Fair Trade Shop (a restricted fvnd), our policy is to di5tribure virrually all of its Surplus for the year as grants to tharities, after providing for a ￿Ve1 of reserrfes equivalent three months, normal expendFwre, including a contingency margln of l 0%. Based on 2021, out¢urn, this level 15 £4,IXIO. Separately, and in addition to the above working capital need, an amount of £3,881 was spent during 2021 on refurbishing and upgrading the r￿t￿re5 in the shop ouc of the £5,500 set aside as reserves in 2020 to meet this expense. The expenditure of £3.881 was incurred in the firsr year of a two-year upgrnde plan. tov4ards which it vrds decided to set aside a further sum of £1,380 to meet tplanned expenditure in 2022. The total set aside a5 reseryes for this purpose was £3,000 at the end of 2021. In addition. funds amounting to £3,000 which were tonsidered surplus to the shop's working capital requiremenu, were (rdnsferred to the Acts2 Fund and the Bereko Fund (both

restricted). This redeploy7nent meant that the shop's reserves at the end of 2021 were reduced further. in keeping with the policy outliried above. 7.

A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank and active management ol debcors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital by the chariry. The financial position is reviewed by Council. at each meerlng, in lighr of advice from the Flnance CommSttee, whlch meefs regularly ¢0 monitor and scrutinise the charity's financbal performance against budgeL tf it proved co be necessary. or desirabl¢ a Stvwardship Campalgn would be promoted. Al￿ntIOn has also been focused on n n-fin ￿￿1 risks arising from Safeguarding. food hygiene. fire and health and safety of those who use the church's faciliues. These risks are managed by ensurin8 thac we have up to date and robust pdicies and procedure5 in place, and regular awareness training for 5tsff and volunteers working in these operational areas. The trnstees keep the major risks to which the chariry is exposed under active review. Re5ponsibiliry for overseeing the martagement and proper operarion of the charity's risk systems and risk policies Is vested in rhe Secretary to the Church Council (Cad Warren). Twho 15 also a rrusree. All committees are required ro prepare a risk assessment for each activiry undertaken in the church's name, particularly where proposals m ￿hr affett children. the church's reputation, or have financial implications. Steps are always taken to manage any risks (such a5. for example. seeking to share the risk with other5, insuring against the risk, srrengthening inornal financial controls, or not undertaking the activiry). Health and Safety, personrbel procedure5 and office fvnctions are reviewed on a regular basis. All comfnittees are avrdre Ihat for insurance

In light of the Covid pandemic. the trustees also reviewed other operntional and business risks {including those to which the Fair Trade Shop were exposed). facing Ihe charity. and believes that the measures which were taken to mitigate and control the svdnificant risks were adequate and effective. Measures taken included. were not limited to, regular risk 35se55ments relating to access to, and use of. the Shop prernise& and the implemenration of strict and frequenr sanitisation controls. QpsL1llQ￿ri$k is managed mainty through supporting only appropriately gifted, qualified and supervised Christian workers and volunteers who fill positions of pastoral responsibiliry. I0￿rISk is managed mainly through supporring only Christian workers who have been rigorously vetted and trained. In addition, rhe Church of Englands Safeguarding Policy requlre5 that all trustees, individuals involved in regular work with children and young people provide references and submic to a Disclosure and Barring Seryice {D8S) check. In addition, the trustees now require all trustres, sraff and volunteers to undergo formal Safeguarding Trninlnx. All committee chairs were asked in November 2021 by Carl Warren (the trusree responsible for governance and risk assurance marrersl ¢0 idenufy the major risk5 they faced, and to review the measures they had in place for actively monitorirt& managing and mitigating the risks arising In thelr area of operation5. The committees were asked w reassure themselves that they had plans In place to effectively deal all identifiable risks. It was left co committee chairs to repon to the Council, on an exceptional basls, any risks whlch they felt were necessary to drdw w the Council's attention. Despite the clos4Jre of the church complex for part of 2021 as a result of l¢xkdown restrictions in England, and the subsequent curtailment of activities by hall hirers as a result of the Covid pandemic, the trustees ensured that regular risk assessmenrs were done whenever the buildings and facilities were used, and in relation to all ourside activitie& 8.

We are indebted to our paid staff who have shown great flexibiliry 2nd resilience during this last two year5 as we have tried to juggle the needs of the church and the reality of making ends meeL Some work was generously carried out by existing staff members. whilst others were monitored by volunteers. A very big thank you for all your support and giving. Along with our volunteers and building. our staff team is a much- valued resource in the day-10- day operations of our Church. We employed 2 full-time and 3 part-time sraff during the year. In addition, with the permission of the Church Council, one of the Wardens. Carol Barner4 covered the office part-time when the Operations Manager N*dS on furlough. The Human Resources {HR) Committee were activety involved in staff matters during the year. The HR Committee advised on the furloughing of staff and ensured Ihai the staff affected were kept abreast of developmenu through regular contact with thelr line manager. In july, at rh¢ Vicar's requesk the committee carried out a major review of the pay of both the Youth Worker (Sarah Woodcock) and the Children and Families Worker {Hanna R05ser). It's report and recommendations were accepted by the Councll. Staff performance reviews were all completed on time. The HR Committee independently reviewed all the performance report5 and concluded thac the assessments were a fair reflectlon of the high standard of performances reported on. The Committee VAS pleased co confirm from this revlew that the recommendation of the Finance Committee for pay increases for all staff for 2022 was jus¢ified. The Vicar and Methodist Minister have helped co-ordinate and further the objectives of the charicy. During the year, over one hundred Yolunteers from within and OLrtside the church gave wide-ranging help acros5 all the different aspects of the chariw's work Without all of this dedicated and committed work the charity would not be able to accompllsh all that it d¢xs. We conclnue co be indebted fo all of our congregation who share thelr gifts ind skills with the wider body, and for the rime and energy they commit ro the ministry here. Here. mention should be made of the contribution of one Member in particular- Ra h whose knowledge of infection control has been invaluable in keeping everyone using the premises safe. Rachel continues to be our lead for assessing risks. Overseeing safety measure5 and ensuring compliance with all government regulations. Smith

However, this year has once again reminded us of the 3geing profile of our corh8re8ation, and of the frailcy of some of our long.5erving volunteers. vthich has caused chem to stand down. For in5tancq the Mission Partners Support Team. vthich has been $0 effectrve for decades, is now short of two permanenr members. We need now to be encouraging and developing those younger members of our congregation to use their grfts and skills so that the work of Christ can continue and the church function as an affe￿1Ve body of witness. We are worktng on to involve some of the new members of the congregation. but family and work responsibilities coniinue co be factors lirniung the ex*nt to which they are willlng to commit the necessary ume for involvement In church activities. 9. Plans for future perlods Due to the uncertainty of the last two years we have not made long term plans for anything.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the seeking of 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 the matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect:

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below:

(a) Basis of Preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011, the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015), and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

St Andrew's meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or replacement cost, unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Church Council is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, or those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Given the Church’s level of free reserves at the year end, the Trustees consider that there are adequate resources to continue for the foreseeable future. The Trustees identified no material uncertainties or Covid-19 related issues which would mean that the Church would be unable to operate for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

7 (b) Income recognition

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when there is evidence that the Church Council is entitled to the income, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the income will be received, and the monetary value can be measured reliably. Details of individual sources of income and the basis on which each source is included are set out below:

(c) Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities or income and expenses unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

7

(d) Donations and Legacies

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the Church Council. Collections made by the church on behalf of another charity are excluded from the accounts, where the church acts as an agent in such situations. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised when received.

I ncome tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Claims have not been made on receipts from donors who are no longer liable to pay income tax. This income is shown separately.

Income from Government and other Grants and Donations

Grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to the grant and the grant will be received. Grants do not need to be applied for at the reporting date in order to be booked in the accounts, as long as there is reasonable assurance that the grant claim will be successful and relate to the period in question. In accordance with FRS 102 (section 24), the accrual model has been chosen as the accounting policy for the purpose of recognizing government grant income.

Grants were received for the Fair Trade Shop from Tunbridge Wells Borough Council during the year amounting to £10.955 (2020: £11,905).They were given as part of the Government’s business support scheme to help charities, among other businesses, stay afloat during the lockdown periods from March 2020. There were no unfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to the grants. The Fair Trade Shop has not benefitted from any other form of government assistance during the period under review.

Where a grant is received specifically to assist in financing a tangible fixed asset, a Designated fund is created equivalent to the amount of the grant and released to match the depreciation charged over the useful life of the tangible fixed asset. The amount not yet released in this way is carried forward on the balance sheet.

In the case of a donation, entitlement usually arises immediately on its receipt.

Legacies to the Church Council are accounted for as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

(e) Charitable activities

Parochial Fees due to the Church Council for funerals, weddings, banns, etc. are recognised when received.

Sales of Christian books and Bible reading notes from the Fair Trade Shop are accounted for gross.

8

Income from Halls lettings for church purposes is recognised when the rental is due.

Events - Funds raised by the St Andrew’s Day Event, the Harvest Supper, Children and Youth events and similar events are accounted for gross. The net proceeds of the St Andrew’s Day Event and the Harvest Supper are distributed for charitable purposes. G ifts in kind are brought into the accounts at cost or estimated value to the Church Council. Individual gifts with a cost or value of less than £1,000 are recognised and written off in the same period in which they are received. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of land and buildings at the end of each year and shown on the face of the SOFA in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

(f) Other Trading Activities

Sales of the Fair Trade Shop and Halls lettings for non-church purposes are recognised on a receivable basis.

(g) Interest Receivable from Investments

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.

(h) Donated goods and services (Professional and Voluntary)

Donated goods to the Fair Trade Shop are not recognised because of the difficulty in arriving at a fair value for them.

Donated professional services are recognised as income when the charity has control over them, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and economic benefit can be measured reliably.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of members and friends of the church is not included in the accounts, but is described in the Trustees Annual Report.

(i) Expenditure and liabilities recognition and irrecoverable VAT

Liabilities are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

9

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in these cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across both categories on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(j) Grants payable

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. Provisions for grants payable are made when the Church Council decides on the recipients and the amounts when finalising the annual accounts. Recipients are not informed in advance.

(k) Denominational Pledge and Quota

From 2015 the Diocese includes the cost of ordained clergy in arriving at the requested Parish Pledged Offer. It is no longer collected separately. The cost of a curate is shared across the Diocese. The Church supports the local Methodist ministry through a quota contribution under a local ecumenical agreement. No part of these contributions was unpaid at 31st December 2021.

(l) Allocation of Support Costs and Governance Costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity, but are not associated directly with charitable activities undertaken. Support costs include music and choir, organist, upkeep of services, and evangelism and outreach. Support costs including governance costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities.

(m) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised initially at historical cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Asset category Annual rate Freehold land and Buildings over the remainder of its useful life (31.12.21 36 years) Furniture and Equipment over 4 years Solar Panels over 10 years

10

Notes;

Land and buildings

The church hall complex, built in 1997, is owned by the Church Council. The complex and contents were revalued on 29 September 2021 on the basis of the replacement cost of the building and contents, as calculated by the church insurers, Ecclesiastical Insurance Group plc for insurance purposes. Depreciation on the complex and contents is calculated on the revalued amount so as to write off the asset, by equal annual instalments, over the remainder of its useful life (36 years).

Heritage and Other Tangible fixed Assets

The Church Council does not own the church building, which is vested in the Rochester Diocesan Board of Finance. Accordingly, the value of this heritage asset has not been brought into these accounts.

Other tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost.

Depreciation, commencing in the year of purchase, is provided on a straight line basis over ten years for solar panels, and for other equipment used within the church premises, over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price below £1,000 are normally written off when acquired.

Moveable church furnishings

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the Church Council, 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. All expenditure incurred in the year on individual items under £1,000 is written off.

(n) Current assets

Debtors : Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered . Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Stocks held for sale have been valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are not recognised in these accounts because of the difficulty in valuing them at fair value. Stocks of consumables have been valued at cost.

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund, Rochester Diocesan Board of Finance or at the bank.

(o) Creditors and provisions for liabilities

Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

THE ANGLICAN AND METHODIST CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW, PADDOCK WOOD

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2021 (Continued)

FUND DETAILS

Unrestricted

General

Parochial Fund - the main church account

Church Halls Fund : This comprises the revenues from Halls lettings, and the cost of maintaining the Halls.

Children and Youth Fund : Income and costs of running youth activities

Designated

Church Maintenance Reserve Fund : This was created as a fund

for the financing of major church expenditure as and when that may occur (heating system, interior redecoration, carpeting, major organ repairs etc.)

Diocesan Church Repair Fund : Organised by the Diocese to assist parishes to make systematic and adequate provision for the prompt routine repair of churches and other buildings. In accordance with guidance from the Diocese, this fund has been treated as unrestricted.

Halls Maintenance Reserve Fund : Created out of the net revenues of the halls to meet the cost of maintaining the interior of the halls complex including furniture and equipment to a high standard of repair. Diocesan Halls Repair Fund : This fund was created in 1997 from the balance on the Church Halls Reserve Fund, in a form similar to the Diocesan Church Repair Fund. It is intended to be used for the maintenance of the church halls complex.

Fixed Assets Reserve This represents the net book value of those fixed assets which are not represented by restricted funds.

Revaluation Reserve This represents the cumulative gain on revaluations of the Halls complex less the amounts transferred to equate with the relevant depreciation charged.

Properties Upkeep Fund

This fund was created to meet major maintenance costs of the Vicarage and 3 Ashcroft not funded by the Diocese.

Mission Opportunity Fund. This has been set up on the advice of the Archbishops’ Council to enable the church to respond to specific and urgent projects. One fifth of the annual tithing is normally allocated to this fund and use of the fund is subject to the recommendations of the Mission Partners Support and Evangelism Committees.

16

Restricted

Fair Trade Shop Fund : The net income arising from the shop’s trading activities is distributed by way of grants to a number of UK based charities operating at home and in developing countries.

Bereko Fund: Created during 2003, the funds were used for building a church and supporting the Ministry in Bereko, in the Diocese of Kondoa, Tanzania. The building was completed in 2011. Funds continue to be used in supporting the Ministry and Mission of the Church there.

Acts 2 Fund The Acts 2 Fund was created towards the end of 2008 to assist persons who are suffering hardship in the Parish. Grants are made at the discretion of the Vicar in consultation with a Nominated Trustee.

Ashburnham Fund The Ashburnham Fund is for those who could not afford the full cost of an Ashburnham weekend and is used.to assist those who would not otherwise be able to attend.

Definitions: A fund is a pool of unexpended resources comprising money and other assets held in trust by the Church council. It may be an unrestricted fund to be spent on general purposes, at the Church Council’s discretion which will include designated funds; or it may be a restricted fund. A designated fund is a fund set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. A restricted fund is a fund subject to specific trusts (e.g. by a letter from the donor at the time of gift, or by the terms of a public appeal). It may be a capital fund, which cannot be spent, but must be retained for the benefit of the Church, or it may be an income fund, which must be spent on the specified purpose(s) within a reasonable time.

Church Society – Funding

The Church Society, which is a national charity and has no organizational connection with St Andrew’s, has for many years acted as trustees of the Paddock Wood Parochial Hall Trust, whose funds were intended to be used for evangelical purposes. Part of those funds was invested in a property at 3 Ashcroft Road, Paddock Wood, which over the years has been the designated accommodation for curates during their training with St Andrew's. During 2015, however, the trustees of the PWPHT reached agreement with the Diocese of Rochester for the purchase of the property at 3 Ashcroft Road, and the proceeds of the sale are being used to fund the cost of employing at St Andrew's, a Youth Worker, subject to conditions. The amount held by the Church Society at 31.12.20 was £176,898.The amount released by the PWPHT trustees during 2021, and shown in the accounts, was based on the actual cost (salary, pension contributions and travel) of employing the individual concerned.
