The method of appointing PCC members is as set out in the Church Representation Rules and in the Parish Scheme as approved by the Bishop’s Council on 29[th] October 2002 and subsequently amended on 2[nd] October 2006. All members of the congregation are encouraged to apply for membership of the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Page 1 of 5 In addition to ad hoc working parties, there are three subordinate bodies which report to the PCC, namely: 1) the Standing Committee which is empowered by the PCC to transact business between Council meetings and which, for the period covered by this report, comprised the Vicar, Minister at St Mary’s, Church Wardens, Deputy Church Wardens, PCC secretary and the Parish Treasurer. 2) the Church of the Ascension District Church Council to which the PCC delegates the day to day management of the Church of the Ascension part of the parish and which comprises some PCC members and some directly elected members according to the requirements of the Parish Scheme. For the period of this report this comprised the Vicar, the Minister at St Mary’s, the Pastoral Assistants, the Church Warden, the Ascension Deputy Church Warden _,_ the Parish Treasurer, Ascension elected PCC members and the following elected members: Mrs Iyabo Adeola, Mrs Stella Bell(from 03/04/22) Mr Lee Dewsnap, Mrs Susan Lawes (to 03/04/22, then co-opted from 12/05/22), Dr Lucy Pavesi. 3) the St Mary’s District Church Council to which the PCC delegates the day to day management of the St Mary’s part of the parish and which comprises some PCC members and some directly elected members according to the requirements of the Parish Scheme. For the period of this report this comprised the Vicar, the Minister at St Mary’s, the Pastoral Assistants, the Church Warden, St Mary’s Deputy Church Warden, the Parish Treasurer, St Mary’s elected PCC members and the following elected members: Mr Kester Worme. ## **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 2022 with an average attendance of 66%. The two District Church Councils each met on six occasions. The Ascension DCC had an average attendance of 64% 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 66% (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. In addition to routine business and receiving reports from subordinate committees, the PCC or Standing Committee considered the following matters in particular: Page 2 of 5 - Parish budget and Common Fund contributions - Parish external mission giving - Repayment of the St Mary’s Restoration Project loan - Bank account switch - Setting up of Finance Committee - Appointment of an adviser on energy efficiency - Appointment of Hall Bookings manager - Annual Safeguarding update and PCC training - Parish Mission Strategy Group - Ascension & St Mary’s Mission Action Plans - Review of Parish policies In addition to routine business, the Ascension DCC considered the following matters in particular: - Mission Action Plan update Inc. Alpha - Social events - Installation of bike racks - Church heating system - Hall kitchen upgrade - Church and Hall maintenance, including Quinquennial works In addition to routine business, St Mary’s DCC considered the following matters in particular: - Mission Action Plan inc. Alpha - The Open Door - Montessori School proposal - Energy consultant report - Future direction for St Mary’s - Social events - Boundary fence with 46 Brentmead Gardens - Twyford Abbey development - Church and Community Hall maintenance, inc. Quinquennial works Page 3 of 5 At the time of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 23 April 2023, the Electoral Roll stood at 96 with 69 members belonging to the Church of the Ascension and 27 to St Mary’s. The figures for 2022 were 97, 69 and 28 respectively. ## **5 Report on the Activities of the Parish Generally in 2022** Sunday service attendance figures still cannot be directly compared with previous years due to the impact of lockdowns and the introduction of online worship and hybrid services. In 2022 there was a total average Sunday morning attendance at the Ascension of 34 people (20 adults, 4 u16s, 6 online). At St Mary’s the average was 19 people (14 adults, 5 u16s; plus two joined the Ascension online service. The online evening service, The Sunday Word, had an average attendance of 7 people. 2022 was the first time since 2019 that we had a full year without lockdowns, although Covid still caused disruptions, particularly at Easter. Across the world there has been a widespread and understandable desire to return to the pre-pandemic normal, but it is increasingly apparent that in the church, and probably other contexts, things will not be the same. The situation we saw emerging at the end of 2021 was confirmed in 2022: reduced church membership and attendance, fewer volunteers, and (less openly discussed) high levels of ongoing fatigue among clergy and other leaders. Looking back over the year, it took a great deal of energy just to maintain what we were doing. Nearly all of our leadership team, Pete, Liz, Rae and myself, supported by Rosy, Arby and Colin, saw increased demands, for various reasons, on our own time and energy. Despite the difficult context, the year was not without positives. Despite sometimes large weekly fluctuations, attendance at both churches has held steady, and although there have been some departures, we have significantly also seen new members at both the Ascension and St Mary’s. One important feature of this year has been a focused effort to think more strategically about mission and evangelism. Assisted by a Deanery Mission grant we have been able to carry out commercial mail drops for the St Mary’s Barbecue, the autumn Alpha, and the parish Christmas services. This has brought new people to our events and services. We only need small regular gains to grow. We ran face-to-face Alpha for the first time in at least five years but a lack of guests meant it did not take off, and it seems likely that it is now less effective as means of outreach than it once was. Much contemporary mission is focused around community initiatives and we also spent time carefully planning for the launch of the Open Door Café offering food and clothing support, initiated and led by Rae. We were also able to engage with our neighbourhoods through an Ascension Spring event in Audley Road, and the St Mary’s Barbecue. Autumn was over-shadowed by the need to replace the Ascension Church boiler which failed in the summer, and whose working life we were not successful in extending. Philippa Bird brought her planning expertise to the task of organising a replacement, for which we were all grateful. Worshipping in the hall and in a church with temporary heating was a stretching challenge but we got through it. The heating crisis was helped by the fact that the Eco team had already begun considering improvements to our heating. Philippa reports as follows: “During 2022 the Parish Eco team has consolidated its activities. After receipt of the Eco Church Bronze Award we have started to work towards the Silver level and are further reviewing the performance of the parish in eco terms. As part of that a major report covering all buildings in the parish was commissioned from Ray Gooder of Gooder Technical Services Ltd which advised on a range of strategies to make our premises more energy efficient, less carbon hungry and requiring lower energy bills. This has stood the Ascension in good stead when seeking a replacement boiler. Meanwhile monthly articles have been published in the Parish Magazine and the nature area has continued to develop at the Ascension with a first family of blue tits making one of our nest boxes their home!” Given the challenging circumstances in which we, like most churches, find ourselves, it is not an insignificant achievement not only to be offering regular Sunday worship with a solid core of worshippers, but also to be reaching out in mission and service to our community, with a desire to do more. We thank God for that, and for all who make it possible. 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 2022. In November 2022 we switched our bank account from HSBC to Co-operative Bank. The main reason for this was the charges that HSBC had begun to levy for operating the account. As with most churches our income and expenditure were affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, but there was a good recovery in 2022. Income from lettings of both churches and halls nearly doubled compared to 2021, and is now close to pre-pandemic levels. Membership of the Planned Giving Scheme was 52 at 31st December 2022, with 37 members belonging to the Church of the Ascension and 15 to St Mary’s. The figures for 2021 were 52, 35 and 17 respectively. During the year, more parishioners joined the Parish Giving scheme, to give a total of 20, all but two from the Ascension, and a total income for the year of £19612 before tax recovery. Other planned giving income was £17251 for the Ascension, and £13096 for St Mary’s, so overall planned giving was around 30% higher than in 2021. In addition, we were very grateful to receive a substantial anonymous donation of £31000, which was added to the Legacy Fund for major expenditure. It has been the practice in previous years for the Parish to pay less than one twelfth of its Common Fund each month, with a balancing top-up at the end of the year. This year, the total given was £36,000 (2021: £50,000), so there was no end of year top-up. 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 £13674, a reduction of £11689 from the previous year. The legacy fund stood at £108,177. I am pleased to report, that excluding the large donation, parish income exceeded expenditure by about £16,000, but this is mainly due to the reduced Common Fund contribution. Colin McKenzie (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 2022 comply with this policy. It is PCC policy to invest funds not immediately required with the Church of England Central Board of Finance. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Independent Examiner’s report** ## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner** The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they 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. 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.

10,335| _Page 7_ ## **Independent Examiner’s report** ## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner** The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they 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. 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.
