ST THOMAS’ BRAMPTON with ST PETER’S HOLYMOORSIDE

INTRODUCTION

In this document, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) presents its annual report with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The PCC is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission (charity number 1138026).

The accounts are presented in the prescribed manner in order to comply with the Charities Act 2011 and Church Accounting Regulations 2006. Accordingly:

  1. The annual report outlining the activities of the PCC for the year is an integral part of the document.

  2. The financial statements of the daughter church, St Peter's, Holymoorside, are required to be consolidated with those of St Thomas'.

  3. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis. This means that they take into account amounts owing to or by the PCC at the year end and are not limited to cash transactions.

  4. The current year financial statements are presented by fund type (unrestricted, designated, restricted and total funds) in columnar format showing income / expenditure and assets / liabilities in the appropriate fund column. Only total figures are shown for the prior year.

This document has been compiled in line with the guidance provided by the Church of England in the book “PCC Accountability: The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC (5[th] edition, incorporating the Statement of Recommended Practice 2015)”. A copy of this book is held in the St Thomas’ office if you would like to refer to it.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the accounts include prior year adjustments. Full details are provided in note 12 to the financial statements. The main purpose of these adjustments is to ensure that balances the PCC owe the Derby Diocese in relation to the Hope House project and are owed by their subsidiary companies are appropriately included in the financial statements.

I hope these accounts give you a good understanding of the overall financial position of St Thomas’ Brampton with St Peter’s Holymoorside at the end of last year, where money has come from during the year and where it has been spent to support the work of the parish. However, the accounts do not illustrate the financial activity and position separately of St Thomas' or St Peter's. If you require further information, please contact the treasurers of the two churches.

In the short time I have been Parish Treasurer, I have become increasingly aware of the hard work and dedication of those who held this role before me. I would particularly like to thank David Oldale for assisting me in my transition into the role during the severe constraints placed on us all during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition, I would like to thank Geoff Walker for acting as our Independent Examiner for many years. This will be the last year that he provides this service for us.

Lastly, I know that not everyone is as interested in or knowledgeable about financial statements as the accountants among us. However, if you would like to know more about these numbers or have a question you would like to ask, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will be delighted to explain as clearly as I can.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

AIMS AND PURPOSE

St Thomas’ Brampton with St Peter’s Holymoorside Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility for working with the Acting Rector in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical within the ecclesiastical parish. It also has overall responsibility for the District Church Council (DCC) of St Peter’s, Holymoorside.

VISION AND VALUES

Our vision is to be a church of disciples making disciples who reach out in the love of Jesus to see lives transformed by him.

Our values are those of:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Vacancy

In September 2020, the Rector of St Thomas’ Brampton with St Peter’s Holymoorside, Reverend Canon Matt Barnes was confirmed in his role as Director of Discipleship, Mission and Ministry for the Derby Diocese – a role to which he was seconded in April 2018. The parish is now officially in Vacancy (previously known as Interregnum). Our church wardens are drawing up a Parish Profile and we offer them our prayers and support in this important work.

Covenant with St John’s, Walton

Under the covenant between St Thomas’ and St John’s Walton, signed in August 2019, Reverend Nick Green, the Vicar at St John’s is the minister in charge of St Peter’s, Holymoorside while St Thomas’ continues to provide administrative support.

Worship and Prayer

All are welcome to attend our regular services. St Thomas’ offers different worship styles at the 9:30am, 11am and 6pm services and St Peter’s holds regular Sunday morning services. The church buildings have also been open for private prayer. The parish Electoral Roll, as updated in March 2020, lists 275 parishioners of whom 234 are members of St Thomas’, and 41 of St Peter’s.

4

2020 has been an exceptionally difficult year when, for much of the year, we have been unable to gather in person for public worship due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Online services started during the first lockdown with Church@Home. When our church buildings could be reopened, initially this was purely for private prayer and funerals. When we were able to gather again for public worship, our services were limited to a congregation size of 30 at St Thomas’ and 20 at St Peter’s to enable the necessary social distancing. Our thanks go to all who acted as stewards for private prayer and at our services for helping to keep us Covid-secure. Other online gatherings and streamed services have been provided on Sundays and during the week throughout the year since the pandemic started. Our thanks go to all the technologically-savvy people behind the scenes who have made this possible.

We held 14 funeral services in church during 2020 (11 at St Thomas’ and 3 at St Peter’s) with restrictions meaning that many services were only possible at the crematorium or cemetery.

Deanery Synod

Five Deanery Synod representatives sit on the PCC. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the Church.

Pastoral care

Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Members of the clergy and licensed distributors have visited those church members who have requested it, to celebrate communion with them at home.

A community support scheme was set up at the start of the pandemic, to support people living alone, particularly those finding themselves without the support of friends and family nearby. For sustainability, the system was initially set up using the structures that were already established within church life, namely house groups and community groups, such as Knit & Natter and Thom’s Blokes. Others who did not belong to such groups were brought into the scheme and supported by individual volunteers, as were members of our community who contacted the church for support. In the main, support consists of weekly phone calls (with some ‘mutually agreed’ variations), and others being supported in more practical ways such as shopping, collecting prescriptions and dog walking, though many of these arrangements have been made ‘between friends’, and not officially through the scheme.

In addition, the Community Support page that has been on the church website since April 2020 is regularly updated with information and contact details that we hope have been, and still are, of value during the pandemic. Our thanks go to Tony & Marie Witham and Jane Simmonds for all their work in this important area of support.

St Thomas’ church centre

During 2020, the church centre continued to be our ‘beacon to the community’ by providing a warm welcome for church members and non-church members alike. The coffee shop remained popular (and retained its 5-star hygiene rating) and the meeting rooms hosted our church and many other groups – at least when Covid-19 restrictions permitted. The coffee shop and the group meetings have been sorely missed when the centre has had to remain closed.

Mission and evangelism

The PCC continues to follow the biblical ethos of tithing with 10% of St Thomas’ unrestricted donations and the associated Gift Aid being transferred into the World Mission Fund each year. The distribution of this fund is administered by the World Mission Committee who take into account the views of the congregation in agreeing the main beneficiaries of this charitable giving.

5

The main beneficiaries during 2020 were:

During the year, we provided financial support to Jackie Santos, one of our previous international interns, by contributing £300 to the funding of his tuition fees at Calvary College.

The publication of our parish magazine, Ploughshare, was affected by Covid-19 during 2020 with only 3 editions being produced. When restrictions permitted, we delivered the magazine to those subscribers who were unable to access it electronically via email or through our website.

Ecumenical relationships

The church is a member of Churches Together in Chesterfield. Under normal circumstances we would have taken part in the annual Churches Together service and the Whit Walk but these, like so many other events in 2020, were cancelled due to the pandemic.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The accounts show that total expenditure exceeded total income by £14,065 in 2020. However, where possible, expenditure was made from designated and restricted funds to maintain our unrestricted reserves.

£186,605 was spent from unrestricted funds during 2020 to provide the Christian ministry of the parish, with a further £25,456 spent from the designated fund for the 0-18 Director role. This expenditure includes £100,236 contribution to the diocesan common fund (an increase of 1.9% from the previous year) which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy.

The closure of our church buildings has resulted in significant reduction in income from open plate donations. A stewardship campaign (TRIO – The Responsibility is Ours) was undertaken in both churches to encourage church family members to give regularly through bank transfer or the Parish Giving Scheme. Our thanks go to all our donors who continue to give so generously.

The majority of the expenditure from restricted funds related to a replacement boiler and new flooring in the ladies’ toilet of the St Thomas’ church centre and the completion of the memorial garden at St Peter’s.

STB (Chesterfield) Ltd opened the coffee shop and meeting rooms when Covid-19 restrictions permitted, during a year that was extremely difficult for all businesses operating in the hospitality sector. They have obtained financial support from the government’s furlough scheme and nonrepayable grants. They have recovered most of their outstanding debts, with only a small amount of non-recoverable debt being written off, and have repaid the PCC the remaining £2,000 of their start up loan (see note 8). Overall, the company made a profit of around £1,000 which they will retain to put towards the future cost of replacement equipment.

STB (Hope House) Ltd has recorded several significant transactions during 2020, including repaying the diocesan loan instalment of £2,000 on behalf of the PCC in February 2020 (see note 9b), funding £66,000 towards the renovation of the property at 91-93 Derby Road, Chesterfield and recovering corporation tax of £6,386.

6

The running of Hope House will be undertaken through a separate company, Hope House (Chesterfield) Ltd, which is also a registered charity (charity number 1183254). This company is not connected to the PCC and, at 31 December 2020, had not yet commenced trading.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance of free reserves to cover at least three months’ planned expenditure. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flows and to help cover emergencies. The PCC defines free reserves as unrestricted net current assets excluding amounts owed by subsidiary companies since this money is not considered to be readily available.

Based on the 2021 expenditure budget, the amount required to meet the reserves policy is £49,000. The balance of the free reserves at 31 December 2020 was less than required by this policy at £43,029. However, when the amount set aside by the PCC for the funding of the 0-18 Director role is included with the free reserves, this balance stands at £60,043 (2019 restated £71,620). The PCC believes that ministry with children and young people is crucial to the health of the church and is seeking further funding to continue the important work in this area.

In addition, at 31 December 2020, a total balance of £52,196 was held in restricted funds to meet the costs of development, repairs and maintenance of St Thomas’ (£42,521) and the church centre (£9,675). Expenditure from the St Thomas’ restricted fund is likely to be required in the near future since the ceiling of the church is showing signs of water damage. Details of the balances on the other restricted funds can be found in note 11 to the financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956. The PCC is a registered charity and all members of the PCC are charity trustees.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. PCC members can either be ex-officio through their role or elected. All members of our congregations who are on the electoral rolls of the churches are able to vote and stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive a booklet into the workings of the PCC. The PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees are all responsible to the PCC.

The full PCC met 4 times during the year (in person for the March meeting, then by videoconference in June, September and December) with an average level of attendance of 75%.

A major topic of discussion throughout the year was the impact of the pandemic on our overall wellbeing – in our church, our church family and the wider parish. Our thanks go to Julie Barton for her diligence in completing the many necessary risk assessments for PCC review and approval.

Following the announcement in September of Matt Barnes’ appointment to the diocesan role he had been seconded to in April 2018, the PCC discussed the process through which a new rector is to be appointed. Our thanks go to Carol Coslett, Archdeacon of Chesterfield, and Karen Hamblin, Area Dean, for their knowledgeable and helpful input to our discussions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

To the PCC of St Thomas’ Brampton with St Peter’s Holymoorside

I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31[st] December 2020, which are set out on pages 12 to 25, in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (The Regulations) and section 145 of The Charities Act 2011.

Respective responsibilities of Members and examiners

As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to you:-

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43 (7) (b) of the Act and to be found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statement 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 I do not express an opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner’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

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act; and

  3. to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records; and

  4. comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations

have not been met

or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ST THOMAS’ BRAMPTON with ST PETER’S HOLYMOORSIDE

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

1: Accounting Policies

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of Financial Reporting Standard 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair” provisions, together with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Basis of preparation

The aggregate gross income of the PCC and its wholly-owned subsidiary companies, STB (Chesterfield) Ltd and STB (Hope House) Ltd, is less than £1 million. The PCC has therefore taken advantage of the exception relating to the requirement to prepare group accounts provided in the Charities Act 2011 and SI 2008/629.

These 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 or those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Prior year adjustments

The prior year figures have been restated mainly to include shareholdings in and balances held with the PCC’s two wholly-owned subsidiary companies, STB (Chesterfield) Ltd and STB (Hope House) Ltd. Full details of the prior year adjustments are given in note 12. This note is a long and complex one and has been included as the last note to try to avoid confusing the reader of the financial statements.

ASSETS

Consecrated and benefice property

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011, such assets are not capitalised in these financial statements.

In simpler terms, these financial statements only include property that is owned by the PCC. The one property owned by the PCC is the House for Duty in Holymoorside. Other clergy housing is owned by Derby Diocese and is capitalised in their financial statements.

The freehold of the church buildings, the churchyards and St Thomas’ church centre vests in the incumbent (who is the temporary custodian), rather than the PCC, so their values are not included in these accounts. However, it is the responsibility of the PCC to maintain these properties and any expenditure on maintenance is written off as incurred.

Moveable church furnishings

Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. In this case, the items are not capitalised but they are listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time.

All expenditure incurred on these items at any time has been written off.

14

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

These items are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts in kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt.

No depreciation is provided on the property held as a House for Duty, as its estimated residual value is not less than its carrying value and the remaining useful life of this property currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation would be immaterial. An impairment review is carried out at each year end and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of other fixed assets, less their currently anticipated residual fair value, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

No depreciation on fixed assets has been charged in these financial statements.

Investments

The shares held by the PCC in its wholly-owned subsidiary companies are shown at their nominal value.

Short term deposits

These are cash deposits held at the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Credit Union.

FUNDS

Unrestricted funds

These 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.

Restricted funds

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held are shown in the notes to the accounts.

INCOME

Voluntary donations

Gift Aid donations, other planned giving, gifts on plate and sundry donations are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.

Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is received. Legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Other Income

Income from the sales of books and magazines is accounted for gross, before any related costs have been deducted. Income from the letting of the church premises is recognised when due. Parochial fees due to the PCC for weddings, funerals etc. are accounted for on an event-by-event basis. Income from fundraising events and other church activities is recognised when received.

15

EXPENDITURE

Grants for Mission

Grants and donations for mission are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

All other expenditure is accounted for when due.

Staff Pension Arrangements

St Thomas’ Brampton PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of the Church Workers’ Pension Fund for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

Pension Builder Scheme

The Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers’ Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes. St Thomas’ Brampton PCC participates in the Pension Builder 2014 section.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members’ Normal Pension Age.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2020 £2,599; 2019 £1,846).

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2016. A valuation as at 31 December 2019 was under way as at 31 December 2020.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the funding valuation revealed a surplus of £1.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, St Thomas’ Brampton PCC could become responsible for paying a share of the employer’s pension liabilities.

Unrestricted funds

These comprise of the general funds of the two churches, St Thomas’ Brampton and St Peter’s, Holymoorside, but includes £248,000 Fixed Assets, the value of the property held as a House for Duty, and the investments in subsidiary companies.

The World Mission Fund is used to hold and administer the 10% of St Thomas’ unrestricted income from donors set aside by the PCC for its own missionary and charitable donations. This fund was previously disclosed as a Restricted Fund.
