Thompson was appointed Clerk for the meeting. ## 2. Minutes of the Meeting of 25[th] October 2020 These minutes had been circulated in advance of the meeting. Approval of the minutes was proposed by Mrs P. Dean, seconded by Mr A. Dean and, by a show of hands, the minutes were approved. Page 3 3. Reports ## 3.1 Electoral Roll Mrs K. Thompson read out the electoral roll report. With a loss of 0 names and a gain of 2 names the roll now stood at 163, representing a net gain of 2 names. The roll would be available for inspection in the parish office. There were no questions. ## 3.2 Annual Report and Financial Statements These, comprising The Independent Examiner’s Report, The Annual Report of the PCC and Review of the Year 2020, The Financial Review and Accounts for year ending 31[st] December 2020 and Statements of Funds and Property had been distributed prior to the meeting. Mrs Carol Reid was not present at the meeting, but the Vicar asked if there any questions. There were none and thanks were expressed to Mrs Reid for all the work she did as Treasurer. Adoption of the Annual Report and Accounts was proposed by Mr S. Brown, seconded by Mr D. Edgerton and, by a show of hands, was carried. ## 3.3 Fabric. Goods & Ornaments Mr Lee reported on a few items of routine maintenance and minor repairs. He noted that 2020 had been very different for everyone with lockdowns and restrictions, and challenges continued. There had been a lot of focus on health and safety, and he thanked Mrs Gillian Taylor for her help coordinating the maintenance items and the extra work brought about during the pandemic. The audio-visual systems had been upgraded so the services could be enjoyed by everyone. The coming year would see more maintenance work, particularly on the pinnacles, which should start in the summer of 2021. The Vicar noted that the work on the pinnacles would involve a considerable amount of scaffolding. There were no questions. Adoption of the Fabric Goods and Ornaments report was proposed by Miss G. Tompsett, seconded by Mrs G. Collier and, by a show of hands, was carried. ## 4. Budget for 2021 – Presentation and Discussion The Vicar asked for questions on the budget – Mr Crane asked about the deficit of £22,000 being budgeted for and what the plans were to correct this position to prevent the church running out of funds. In Mrs Reid’s absence, Mr Lee noted that in 2020 there was a surplus of £20,000, which would be added to reserves and this would be used to help balance the books. The Vicar noted that St. Paul’s was following God’s lead and being realistic. Mrs L. Downes noted that it was very impressive that there was a surplus last year so that could be carried over. Mr A. Roberts said that he thought the money sitting in the reserves was very high and these resources should be being used for the work of the church. He was concerned that the budget showed a reduction of £2,000 in mission where it should arguably have doubled. The Vicar noted that she looked forward to him joining the PCC shortly to discuss this further. Acceptance of the Budget for 2022 was proposed by Mrs J. Ferguson, seconded by Mr D. Edgerton, and by a show of hands this was carried, with one against. ## 5. Appointment of the Independent Examiner for the Ensuing Year Martyn Atkinson at Sopher & Co had agreed to continue as examiner. Approval of this was proposed by Mrs K. Thompson, seconded by Mr A. Roberts and, by a show of hands, carried. Thanks were expressed to Mr Atkinson for all his work on the accounts. Page 4 ## 6. Safeguarding at St. Paul’s Mr Simon Brown, Safeguarding Officer for St. Paul’s, stated that there was nothing to report. ## 7. Election of Lay Representatives to serve on the Parochial Church Council The Chair thanked those coming to the end of their term on the PCC for their service: Mrs Jane Ferguson, Mrs Lee Downes and Mr Bernard Mayengehama. Mrs K. Thompson, Mr S. Brown and Mr D. Edgerton had also come to the end of their terms, but as they held particular positions, they would be co-opted for a year. Nominations for 2021/2022 were: Mr Alan Roberts, Mrs Pat Dean and Mrs Louise Grainger. En bloc their nominations were proposed by Miss G. Tompsett, seconded by Mrs F. Reynoldson, and by a show of hands, they were elected. The Vicar welcomed the new members to the PCC. ## 8. Barnet Deanery Synod The Vicar reminded the meeting that the West Barnet Deanery Synod had merged and become one Deanery Synod for Barnet. Because of the COVID situation and the appointment of a new Area Dean things had been difficult and there had only been one meeting. The Vicar noted that the General Synod would be discussing same-sex marriage and LGBTQ issues and reiterated that St. Paul’s had never agreed with the blessing of same-sex marriage and had followed the Church of England policy. A resource had been put together to help parishes discuss these issues together and this would be done towards the end of the year. ## 9. Lay Representative to Serve on the Barnet Deanery Synod Nominations for 2021/2022 were: Mrs Ide Adelaja, Ms Jane Shelbourn and Mrs Fiona Reynoldson. Proposed by Mr M. Fleming, seconded by Mr J. Lee, by a show of hands they were elected. ## 10. Election of Sidespeople The sidesman list was unchanged since the last APCM. ## 11. Date of the First Meeting of the New PCC This would be held via Zoom at 8.00pm on Thursday 20[th] May 2021. ## 12. Vicar’s Report Revd Jo James reflected that the first report that she shared in April 2019 had talked about uncertain times. This paled into insignificance given the events of the last two years and the fact that this was the second APCM held via Zoom, and was an indication of some of the upheaval endured in the last year, both as a church and individually. Some of the good things to be celebrated since last October included Christmas going ahead and the church being beautifully decorated by Anne and Peter Coles, Pauline Pescod, Pat Wildman and Jan Lowe. St. Paul’s School made some of the decorations and there was a large tree and lights. Most of the services were streamed and St. Paul’s School were able to have their Christmas services Page 5 in three ‘bubbles’ in the church. The ability to livestream services, including funeral services, had been a huge blessing, as it has prevented people from feeling isolated from church. Thanks were expressed to John Lee for setting up and monitoring the Internet connection each week and operating the camera during the services, and also to her husband Peter, not just for playing the organ, but for setting up the hymns and songs, and monitoring the sound balance. Andrina Barnden, Liz Kettle and Jane Shelbourn had also mastered the CD and volume control for services, and it was hoped that more people could be trained to spread the load. Night Shelter had continued to receive support from St. Paul’s in the hotel in Golders Green. The Vicar requested meal cover for some slots in the coming weeks. Some food had also been provided to local families who were struggling to give their children enough to eat and financial support had been given to various mission organisations. Two sad occasions took place at the beginning of the year: the funerals, firstly of Valerie Ross, a choir member and longstanding, dear friend of many, who was greatly missed, and also Spencer Layman, who had recently become a member of the churchyard team and who is also greatly missed. We grieve their loss and hold in prayer families and friends of all those who had lost loved one over the past months. The start of the year saw the beginning of the pre-recorded services, streamed when the church was closed during lockdown, and then during Lent the live-streaming started when everyone was allowed back into church. There had been a fantastic celebration on Easter Sunday, where there were 67 people sitting socially-distanced in church; it was also wonderful to see Aryan baptised that day. A priority for St. Paul’s was nurturing the younger members of the church, and the 9.30am family worship had started up again, allowing families to meet in the hall to get involved with craft, Bible story and worship. The Vicar thanked June Lee and Ide Adelaja for their help and support in talking and sharing with the families. The main service was still being held at 10.30am, originally done to accommodate a coffee Zoom at 11.00am, and it would continue at this time while things were still uncertain. The focus over the coming months would be to remain ‘rooted in prayer’, growing the church family and reaching out to the local community in God’s love. There would be an event in June as part of Churches Count on Nature Week – Simon Brown had more details. When singing together was allowed again in church it would be good to get together to enjoy singing favourite hymns. Some teaching was also planned to look at what it meant to live as a Christian in today’s world, encouraging everyone to dig deeper and to grow in faith. Being ‘rooted in prayer‘ meant being committed to seeking God’s direction for our future and asking how St. Paul’s can better serve the local community. This included supporting Revd Ryan Venn-Dunn’s work as a pioneer paster in Millbrook Park and building on links with local schools. After a tough year, the Vicar thanked everyone for being here and continuing to show care and commitment to one another at St. Paul’s. She thanked her family for their encouragement and support. She was grateful for the support of the St. Paul’s staff team, clergy and wardens, who were focused on seeking God’s guidance going forward. Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering and persevere in prayer. There was a lot to be thankful and hopeful for. 13. Any Other Business – none. 14. The meeting closed with prayers.

The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC has ultimate responsibility for a wide range of matters affecting the parish, including compliance with health & safety, disability discrimination legislation, data protection, safeguarding and child protection, and to this end participates in appropriate training procedures including Deanery Training Days attended by a PCC representative who reports back to the PCC. There is a stated policy of preferring not to have more than one member of the same family serving on the Council concurrently. ## **Objectives and Activities** St. Paul’s PCC is responsible, in co-operation with the clergy and Churchwardens, for promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, both within the parish and further afield. The Pandemic has meant that this mission has continued to be somewhat curtailed, but the situation has been immeasurably better than the previous year and church worship and meetings has increased where regulations have allowed. Consideration has been given to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, particularly the advancement of religion. This includes: - Prayer meetings four mornings and one evening a week in church or via zoom when church closed - Termly worship of St. Paul’s School meeting in church in socially distanced class bubbles - Weekly Collective Worship for St Paul’s School via video recordings - Occasional Collective worship at Millbrook Park Primary School - Membership of Governing Bodies of St. Paul’s School and Millbrook Park School There is also the opportunity for all to participate in: - Regular worship and prayer through daily morning prayer emails, zoom, pre-recorded and live-streamed services - Bible study groups and Lent courses - Pastoral care from designated church members and the clergy for all those living in the parish, particularly an increase in phone calls and emails - Community support to Night Shelter Hotel - Families work in the church The full PCC met 6 times during the year via Zoom, with an average attendance of 83%. the management Committee met between PCC meetings and minutes of their deliberations were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. The PCC operates through two committees and various working groups. The Standing Committee, the only committee required by law, has the authority to transact the business of the PCC, subject to any directions from the Council. It meets only when required. The Management Committee is a small committee that meets between the full meetings of the PCC, to which it submits a written report. It is responsible for the finances of the church and church hall buildings, the churchyard and the house at 46 Shakespeare Road. The Stewardship Committee comes under the aegis of the Management Committee. Page 9 **___________________________________________________________________________** **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL’S, MILL HILL** ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS OF THE CHARITY, IT’S TRUSTEES AND ADVISERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** **_______________________________________________________________________________** Working Groups operate as and when required, reporting directly to the PCC. The current working groups are Family Worship and Mission. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## Worship and Prayer In normal circumstances, St. Paul’s seeks to offer a variety of services throughout the year, catering for quiet contemplation, family worship and more formal worship. When possible this year, families attended special services set up in the church hall to enable meeting in family groups with social distancing – music and craft activities were enjoyed by parents, carers and children alike. ## Church Attendance All are welcome to attend our regular services. There were 163 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. ## The Church Buildings St. Paul’s buildings provide a source of interest and delight to visitors. Ordinarily, the buildings would be open as much as possible, providing visitors with a tour given by informed parishioners. ## Deanery Synod Currently there are three members of the PCC who sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with a valuable link between the parish and its neighbours in the deanery, helping to give reference points and a broader overview of common issues. The deanery synod members report to the PCC on speakers and discussions, enabling St. Paul’s to gain insight and share the thoughts of other parishe s. ## Mission St. Paul’s has been faithful in its commitment to help those in need as a tangible demonstration of our Christian faith. The Mission Committee advises the PCC in its giving and ensures that funds are purposefully targeted both home and overseas where it was felt they would be put to good use. Our weekly Church Family Update, emailed and posted to those not on email, has kept people up to date with general notices, planned worship events and any other important news items, to enable all members to remain in touch with church life as much as possible. ## **Review of the Year** The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, continued to cause disruption in 2021, and the beginning of the year saw heavier restrictions again. However, this did not stop St. Paul’s keeping its congregation in touch, as online services ensured regular worship when members were unable to attend in person. Revd Ryan Venn-Dunn continued to be in contact with families throughout this period and the Tuesday evening prayer group kept going throughout. The church was open for an hour to remember Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, following his death on 9[th] April. Easter saw the church re-open weekly for main services and the 8am services restarted at the end of June; numbers gradually recovered a little, with new families slowly increasing. Groups started to meet again, Tuesday Group and Men’s Breakfast, and there were Lent courses online. Page 10 **___________________________________________________________________________** **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL’S, MILL HILL** ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS OF THE CHARITY, IT’S TRUSTEES AND ADVISERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** **_______________________________________________________________________________** June saw St. Paul’s host a churchyard event, Churches Count on Nature, the aim of which was to discover the variety of flora and fauna found in churchyards across England and Wales and was jointly run by the conservation charities Caring for God's Acre, A Rocha UK, the Church of England and the Church of Wales. It was a lovely day and well attended – thanks go to Michael Worms and Simon Brown for their work on this. Revd James, Lowe and Revd Venn-Dunn regularly went into St. Paul’s School doing assemblies. Revd VennDunn took a group of youngsters to the Isle of Wight during the school holidays and The Urban Saints began holding social meetings at St. Paul’s to encourage fellowship and giving the opportunity to grow their relationship with Jesus. At Christmas, the carol service saw some children from St. Paul’s School join with the adults to sing; thanks go to Mr Peter James for teaching the children and for his help with the music every week during services. The Night Shelter could not operate in the church hall as previously, but the hotel in Golders Green continued to host the homeless guests and local churches, including St. Paul’s, provided meals for them. In the autumn, the Harvest service was followed by a successful family lunch in the church hall and the annual Memorial Service took place in October. The biggest event in terms of the church buildings was the refurbishment of the pinnacles. Their condition had deteriorated over the past few years, and they had to be stripped back and re-rendered by DBR Ltd. The process was managed for St. Paul’s by Mr John Lee, involving liaising with the contractor and keeping the PCC up to date with developments, for which grateful thanks are given. The scaffolding was erected in August and was taken down when the work was completed in December, just in time for Christmas services. The church was open throughout the process and there was no obstruction to general church business. The Churchyard Working Party kept the flora and fauna under control and Mr Mike Toon saw to general maintenance items, for which we thank him. The cleaner deserves recognition for helping to keep the church open during throughout COVID restrictions and the extra cleaning this involved. The churchwardens have worked very hard this year and have had a lot to cope with. Our Parish Administrator, Mrs Gillian Taylor, gave notice that she intended to retire in 2022 and the search to fill such big shoes will be a difficult one. 2021 saw the sad loss of Mrs Jean Clarke, Mrs Peggy Williams, Miss Pamela Coote, Miss Wendy Davis and Mr Spencer Layman. There was 1 baptism, 1 confirmation and the happy occasion of the wedding of Miss Emma Reid and Mr Andrew Cheasty. ## **Financial Review of the year ended 31 December 2021** ## **General Funds** Income was £10,500.00 above budget, but £5,356.00 down on the previous year. Gift Aid was down by £2,244.00 and Stewardship by £7,000.00. The Open Collection was down by £1,400. Hall income was up by £4,000.00; the hall lets would be increasing again in 2022.

Page 1 6 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL'S MILL HILL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 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 under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011. Parochial Church Council of St Paul's Mill Hill constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Page 1 7 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL'S MILL HILL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ## **1.2 Income** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Members' Report for more information about their contribution. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. ## **1.3 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. Page 1 8 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL'S MILL HILL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ## **1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the financial statements by virtue of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: - Church equipment 25% straight line The freehold property relates to the Church Hall and Curate's House, which are held on behalf of the PCC for its own purposes, although at present the Curate’s House is rented on a temporary basis, and are valued as at 31 December 2000. No depreciation is charged against such properties because the PCC has reviewed the current value of these properties and concluded that their residual value is not materially different from the carrying amount of the asset. However, any expenditure on maintenance is written off as incurred. ## **1.5 Investments** Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliabily in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **1.6 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. ## **1.7 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Page 1 9 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST PAUL'S MILL HILL** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ## **1.8 Cash at Bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **1.9 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. ## **1.10 Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **1.11 Pensions** The charity operates a defined benefits pension scheme and the pension charge is based on a full actuarial valuation dated 31 December 2013. The charity operates a defined benefits pension scheme. The scheme is a mult-employer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal course of events, to identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employers. Therefore, as required by FRS17 'Retirement benefits', the charity accounts for this scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities represents contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. ## **1.12 Fund accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Members in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1,194,420| |---|---|---| ## **15. PENSION COMMITMENTS** St Paul's Church PCC (Mill Hill) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers. CWPF has two sections: 1. the Defined Benefits Scheme 2. the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections; - a. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and, - b. a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014. ## **Pension Builder Scheme** Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes. **Pension Builder Classic** provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors. **Pension Builder 2014** is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65. There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder 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 the contributions payable (2021: £533, 2020: £467). 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 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.

PENSION COMMITMENTS (continued)** For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 3% following improvements in the funding position over 2021. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time. For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m 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 Paul's Church PCC (Mill Hill) could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.
