## **3 Objectives and Activities**
The PCC (the Trustees) confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, the Revd Simon Reed, in the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England and in promoting within the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social, and ecumenical.
The PCC also has responsibility for the financial affairs of the parish and for supporting the District Church Councils as they strive to achieve the ideals embraced by their respective vision statements:
The Church of the Ascension – _“To create community and grow community”_
St Mary’s West Twyford - _“To be a church growing closer to God, each other, and our community.”_
## **4 Achievements and Performance**
The PCC met six times during 2021 with an average attendance of 57%. The two District Church Councils each met on six occasions. The Ascension DCC had an average attendance of 70% participating members (one _ex officio_ St Mary’s member did not attend and is not included in the statistics). The St Mary’s DCC had an average attendance of 78% (the one _ex officio_ Ascension member did not attend and is not included in the statistics). The deliberations of both DCCs were reported to the full PCC and discussed where necessary.

At the time of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 3 April 2022, the Electoral Roll stood at ?? with ?? members belonging to the Church of the Ascension and ?? to St Mary’s – a slight increase/decrease at both churches. The figures for 2021 were 97, 68 and 29 respectively.
Sunday service attendance figures cannot be directly compared with 2019 as regular services were suspended from 15th March. Up to that point there was an average attendance of 37 at the Church of the Ascension and 24 at St Mary’s (as compared to 37 and 26 for the whole year in 2019). Online joint Zoom services commenced on April 5th and a 9am service at the Ascension was resumed from July 19th with a temporary suspension from November 8th-29th. Total average Sunday attendance from April 5th onwards was 46 of which an average of 9 people attended the service in church. In addition videos of the online services posted on the Parish website received an average of 55 plays each.
Membership of the Planned Giving Scheme was 52 at 31st December 2021, with 35 members belonging to the Church of the Ascension and 17 to St Mary’s. The figures for 2020 were 54, 36 and 18 respectively.
## **5 Report on the Activities of the Parish Generally in 2020**
For the Ascension and St Mary’s, as for the rest of the world, 2020 was a year in which we found ourselves in a completely unexpected situation of global pandemic, and the completely uncharted waters of how to be church during successive national lockdowns. We have not only coped remarkably well but in fact have flourished and grown during these testing times.
We adapted with extraordinary speed to worshipping online. Our Zoom services are not only well attended but also offer a greater degree of personal engagement than the YouTube broadcasts many other churches have adopted. They have been attended by visitors from around the UK and abroad, some of whom have become regulars. Along the way we have gained 6 new local members (4 adults and 2 children). Special thanks must go to Lee Dewsnap, our Director of Music, whose newly acquired recording and production skills have enormously enhanced our worship. An unexpected hit has been online Daily Prayer, our very first online innovation, which has become an internationally followed parish prayer rhythm, accessed by somewhere between 15 and 40 people each day.
We also ran the 24-7 Prayer Course and the Bible Society’s Bible Course, both of which were well attended, and an online Alpha course which attracted 4 guests who were not church members. Prayer 24 and an Advent Quiet Evening also took place online. Our Youth Group has also continued in a climate in which many similar groups have struggled. Our online Carol service drew a higher number of visitors than normal services would in church. Simon was also involved in co-teaching several international courses for church leaders organised by the Community of Aidan and Hilda.
Our community activities of course had to close, but Rae White enabled us to offer support to isolated neighbours during the first lockdown, and Liz Williams has kept in regular touch with the Ascension Friends members. In these and other ways we have supported our members who do not or cannot attend online services. In the periods when lockdown restrictions lifted, Sue Lawes organised two very successful neighbourhood plant sales in the spring and at Christmas. We have also innovated to enable full communion services to take place safely in both churches when permitted.
In the background a long and still incomplete process of restructuring has been taking place in how we operate our church finances. Thanks are due to Lindsey Anne Carter, Rosy Sookias, Colin McKenzie, and Pete Harris for their work on this.
In summary 2020 was, despite all its considerable hardships, a year of innovation and growth for our churches. We ended the year with energy and momentum, not only looking forward to when we will be able to meet again with fewer restrictions, but also with optimism about the challenges and opportunities of continuing and developing as hybrid churches with both a face to face and online ministry locally, nationally, and internationally.
Revd Simon Reed (Vicar of the Parish)
## **6 Financial Review**
In 2020 we outsourced our bookkeeping to Kevin Ogilvie of Charity Bookkeeping and Examination Services, and in the process changed our accounting systems and made some small amendments to the way income and expenditure is reported. This arrangement continued in 2021..
As with most churches our income and expenditure was affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. However we were fortunate and are grateful that most members continued to give regularly by standing order or bank transfer while the churches were closed. In addition, towards the end of the year eleven Ascension members switched from direct giving to using the Parish Giving scheme. Despite this, the overall level of giving was lower than in 2020: excluding one-off unrestricted donations and reclaimable tax, totals were £28102 for the Ascension and £13173 for St Mary’s (2020: £34011 and £14798). Excluding legacies, parish giving was little changed at £7106 vs £6783. Church and hall lettings income was also considerably lower than the already low 2020 figures.
It has been the practice in previous years for the Parish to pay a less than one twelfth portion of its Common Fund each month, with a balancing top-up at the end of the year. The same was done this year, and we were able to pay a total of £50,000 (2020: £36,000). This is still much less than we were paying before the pandemic.
At the end of the year, the amount outstanding on our loan from the diocese was £25363, a reduction of £6057 from the previous year.
The Parish received a further legacy of £26498. This was allocated to a designated legacy fund, and the PCC are looking at various projects where this money could be used.
Colin McKenzie (Deputy Treasurer)
## **7 Reserves Policy**
It is PCC policy that the value of unrestricted funds should not exceed the value of approximately six months’ unrestricted payments. The balances at 31[st] December 2021 comply with this policy.
It is PCC policy to invest funds not immediately required with the Church of England Central Board of Finance.

## **Independent Examiner’s report**
## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 Respective responsibilities of the P.C.C and the examiner**
The P.C.C. members acting as the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) 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 Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given 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 the Independent Examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission and the guidance published in the PCC Accountability (The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC, 5[th] edition). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 18[th] March 2022

## **Independent Examiner’s report**
## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 Respective responsibilities of the P.C.C and the examiner**
The P.C.C. members acting as the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) 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 Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given 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 the Independent Examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission and the guidance published in the PCC Accountability (The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC, 5[th] edition). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 18[th] March 2022
Signed:
Stephen Hendy
