PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF DORCHESTER AND WEST STAFFORD

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All congregations at the four churches are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll, that totals 368, and to stand for election to the PCC.

EXAMINATION AND BANKING

Edwards and Keeping, Chartered Accountants, 34 High East Street, Dorchester are the examiners and Lloyds Bank plc, 1 High West Street, Dorchester, are the PCC’s bankers.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the clergy in promoting the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

There are four churches in the parish, each with its own church committee: St George’s Church, Fordington Green; St Mary’s Church, Edward Road; Holy Trinity, St Peter and All Saints (commonly known as St Peter’s), High West Street; and St Andrew’s, West Stafford.

The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

The PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

The PCC complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 by having due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults within the parish. Safeguarding is an item on every PCC agenda, giving opportunities for the Safeguarding Group to report on a regular basis. We are also fully compliant by showing the relevant link on the front page of the website.

The PCC met four times during the year. At each meeting there were reports, and opportunities for questions, from each of the four churches with reports from other groups being received in rotation.

The Clergy Team continue to grow and settle in to their different ministries and are grateful that they at last feel that they are in the post-COVID era. Revd Keith Magee is Team Rector with responsibility for St Peter's. Revd Cora Yarrien has responsibility for St George's and St Andrew's. Revd Jimmy Holden is half-time Team Vicar at St Mary's as well as being a Chaplain at Dorset County Hospital.

The team was further enhanced in June when Revd Heidi Merrett was ordained deacon. With Keith as her Training Incumbent, Heidi will be mostly based at St Peter's, although she will also be gaining valuable experience from the variety of opportunities from ministry across the rest of the team.

The retired clergy of our benefice continue to support and encourage the churches through their willingness to share in ministry and in the care of our worshipping communities. We are very grateful for their willingness to serve and express our heartfelt thanks to them.

Overall, the last year has been one of rediscovering our way and finding out what the new 'normal' is, so that we can continue to share the abundance of God's love and blessings within our church families and in the wider communities in which we find ourselves. Our prayer is that we would each know the leading of the Holy Spirit and be equipped to follow, looking to our Lord Jesus Christ as our example and inspiration.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES

Global events have, again, had a significant impact on the finances of our churches. As they were beginning to return to pre-Covid levels of activity the energy crisis, and its affect on the stock market, have made budgeting extremely challenging.

There was a significant decrease in the value of investments with endowment funds falling by just over £46,000. The subsequent reduction in interest and dividends will undoubtedly, cause problems at a time of rising costs.

With a return to full services, fundraising activities and greater use of church halls there was an overall increase in unrestricted income but this has to be offset by unprecedented levels of spending, particularly on fuel. These funds did, though, manage to show a small net increase.

It is encouraging that all the churches have paid their diocesan share in full. There is good mutual co-operation between the treasurers who are able to support one another and share good practice.

The PCC's policy is to invest the major part of its endowment funds in CBF Church of England Investment Fund Income Shares to achieve a level of growth that at least outpaces inflation over the long term, with a modest level of income. The remainder of the PCC's funds are in CBF Church of England deposits and bank accounts.

THE PCC AND THE CHURCH COUNCILS

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Dorchester and West Stafford (Dorchester and West Stafford PCC) is a body corporate under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and Church Representation Rules 2006 and a registered charity number 1138023.

In so far as the law allows, the authority for the day-to-day work, management and outreach is delegated to the Church Committees of each of the four Parish Churches. They are responsible for the exercise of that authority, in co-operation with the Team Rector and clergy team, in the maintenance of their buildings, care of the congregations, and development of worship and outreach. The PCC retains ultimate responsibility and its members are encouraged to undertake training through conferences and study days, the better to discharge their roles.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PCC

I report to the members on my examination of the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Dorchester and West Stafford for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the PCC’s members and also the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the PCC's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the PCC’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention that giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

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

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF DORCHESTER AND WEST STAFFORD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The PCC constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the Charities Act 2011, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention modified to include investment assets at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They 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.

(b) Funds

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. Unrestricted funds may include designated funds representing amounts set aside by the PCC for particular purposes.

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the year end must be carried forward as a balance on that fund.

Permanent endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Expendable endowment funds are funds the capital and income of which may both be used.

(c) Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received and any income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when a claim is submitted to H M Revenue and Customs. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All income is accounted for gross.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF DORCHESTER AND WEST STAFFORD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

(d) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis and gross of irrecoverable VAT.

Church activity costs form the majority of the PCC resources used including charitable giving, clergy and service expenses, running and maintaining church property, church admin and magazine costs. Fundraising activity costs are shown separately from income. Other expenditure represents amounts paid for the compilation and independent examination of the statutory accounts.

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when payable. Any ‘share’ unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

(e) Investments

Investments are valued at mid market value at 31 December and the unrealised gain or loss on revaluation is shown in the statement of financial activities. Realised gains or losses on the disposal of investments are recognised in the statement of financial activities when investments are sold.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF DORCHESTER AND WEST STAFFORD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Unrestricted funds

The St Peter's designated choral scholars fund respresents sums earmarked by the council for choral scholars and St Peter's development fund represents funds earmarked for the development of the church.

All other unrestricted funds, whilst allocated to the parish or individual churches, can be used for ordinary PCC purposes.

Restricted funds

Restricted funds represent amounts received via trust, bequest, donation or grant for specific purposes as provided in the terms of the trust, bequest or funding appeal. Such funds can only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Where insufficient funds are held to complete a specific purpose, the PCC may approve a transfer from general funds to fund the deficit, which is repaid once funds become available.

The St George's Puzey Legacy Fund is an expendable endowment fund. Both income and capital is available for the general purposes of St George’s. The fund is administered at the discretion of the vicar and churchwardens of St George's.

Income arising from the Quibell, Megisson and Wynne Bequest Funds is administered at the discretion of the churchwardens of St Mary's.
