## MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING 

Held at All Saints Church following the Election of Churchwardens on 16 April 2023 

1. The minutes of the APCM 2022 were passed and no matters arose from those minutes. 

2. Father Neil stated that three PCC members had reached the end of their current term, namely: John Sutcliffe, Avril Kee and Amelia Billington. 

   - John Sutcliffe was nominated to stand again proposed by David Wallington and seconded by Clare Camp. Similarly Avril Kee was so nominated , proposed by Morag Roberts and seconded by David Wallington. Both were duly elected. 

   - Wayne Hurst was proposed by Clare Camp and seconded by Pam Baker, and Wayne was duly elected. 

3. Father Neil stated that of the three Deanery Synod members , namely Catherine Barlow, Jan Marshall and Paul Middleton only Catherine was willing to stand again. Catherine was proposed by Len Marshall and seconded by Mark Walmsley. 

   - Additionally, Colin Henderson was proposed by Len Marshall and seconded by Clare Camp. 

   - Both Catherine and Colin were duly elected as Deanery Synod members. 

4. The PCC Accounts were presented to the meeting and accepted. Catherine Barlow led a vote of thanks and applause for the two Treasury members present, Jo Wilson and Fay Brookes. 



5.Father Neil recommended that Simon Marshall be appointed as the Independent Examiner of the PCC annual accounts; Mick Allman proposed Simon’s appointment and David Wallington seconded the  proposal. There being no other proposals Simon Marshall was duly approved. 

6. Father Neil stated that Katrina Mitchell would continue as Deputy Church Warden, and with Harriet Mace standing down, Avril Kee would be appointed to replace her. 

7. The Electoral Roll report, which numbered the Electoral Roll at 133, was passed with no questions. 

8. The Rector’s Report was summarized by Father Neil. He said that the congregation numbers were growing, that members were working hard to further the aims of the church, but that there was still a huge amount to do, in spiritual projects and stewardship and fundraising. 

9. During Any Other Business Maureen Pring said that the email newsletter was great, and the occasional hard copiers were appreciated, but would it be possible to have a weekly pew sheet on the noticeboard . Father Neil assured Maureen that Rev Scott was already doing this. 

10.Maureen asked about the possibility of an 8am service once more, but Father Neil said that the PCC had voted not to bring this back owing to so few attendees ( two on several occasions). 

11. Maureen stated that 10am service rather than 0930am was difficult for her, because the morning was gone by the end of the service. She asked if there could be a vote on the matter. Father Neil said that in the Anglican church the PCC made the rulings on these matters. He added that the decision to temporarily trial a later start time would continue until the end of August. He accepted that there were different views on the matter, with the clergy and choir being appreciative of the extra 30 minutes for preparation for the service, and parents with young children making it clear that the extra time was invaluable for getting their children up and ready. 

12. Colin Henderson enquired about the large expenditures facing the church, some being around the £500k mark. Father Neil replied that quotes and advice were still being sought for roof repairs, but the figure could be about £400k. He added that the organ needed a lot of attention 



but replacing it had been ruled out on financial grounds, and that fixing the organ took second place to stopping the roof from leaking. 

13. Viv Mitchell asked about the relationship between the PCC and the congregation. She asked why a signed copy of the minutes of the PCC was not displayed on the church noticeboard. Father Neil said that ths would be amended. Len Marshall accepted the task of pinning the minutes up, if it was legal so to do. 

14. The date for the next APCM was set as 21 April 2024. 

15. The meeting closed with the Grace.

**ALL SAINTS with St JOHN THE BAPTIST, STAMFORD** 

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

## 1 **Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

Restricted funds represent those funds that the PCC are obliged to spend only on particular purposes. 

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and bequests are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed assets** 

The original Church Land and Buildings are not included in the Statement of Assets as there is insufficient cost information available and therefore these assets are not valued in these accounts. 

Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL SAINTS with St JOHN THE BAPTIST, STAMFORD PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 1 to 8. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

As trustees of the charity, The members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination. No matters have come to my attention: 

- 1 which give me reasonable cause to belive that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; 

have not been met; or 

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

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

## 1 **Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with applicable accounting standards and the SORP 2005. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

Restricted funds represent those funds that the PCC are obliged to spend only on particular purposes. 

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognized when received. Tax refunds are recognized when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and bequests are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognized when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognized when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Fixed assets** 

The original Church Land and Buildings are not included in the Statement of Assets as there is insufficient cost information available and therefore these assets are not valued in these accounts. 

Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL SAINTS with St JOHN THE BAPTIST, STAMFORD PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL** 

I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 1 to 8. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

As trustees of the charity, The members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination. No matters have come to my attention: 

- 1 which give me reasonable cause to belive that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; 

have not been met; or 

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