## **St Matts Leeds**
## **Year Ended 31st December 2020**
## **Trustee's Annual Report**
## **Public Benefit Statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of the Christian faith through the provision of worship and teaching services and the relief of sickness, financial hardship and promoting good health. This has been achieved by the provision of funds, and services.
## **Organisational structure; recruitment, appointment and induction of new trustees**
St Matts Leeds (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charities Commission (registration number 1165174). The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll 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.
## **Financial Review**
Below is a summary of our income and expenses over the past year. The main elements that have impacted our finances are:
1. The decision to make our children’s worker and our youth worker full time. This increased our budget to £210,000 with our expected income to be around £190,000.
2. Covid has also understandably impacted our finances. Fortunately in 2020 our income from giving remained relatively stable. Our income from the church centre did reduce significantly. However, our expenses were a lot lower this year as the buildings were not used as often and fewer activities went ahead.
Overall our income this year exceeded our expenses so we have a comfortable buffer in the bank. Looking ahead to 2021 and beyond our required budget will still be above our expected income currently. Due to the buffer in the bank this does mean we are not currently in financial difficulty. However, if we want to grow and invest more in the activities of the church income will need to increase for us to be able to do this.
The fund balances at the year end were as follows:
||2020|2019|
|---|---|---|
||£|£|
|Unrestricted Funds|532,146|464,576|

## **Achievement and Performance (Vicar's Report)**
As I prepare to move on James has asked me to give my reflections on this last year in the life of St Matts. Over the last year, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about these verses from Romans 5, and about hope. Throughout the pandemic I’ve heard this kind of sentiment a lot: ‘if you’re struggling, it’s important to hold onto hope’. Which sounds good but I often wonder… What are people hoping in? And how is that working out for them? We’ve seen our short-term hopes repeatedly dashed over the last year: opening up, lockdown, opening up, lockdown. And what do long-term hopes count for if we can’t even plan a month ahead?
But within St Matts I’ve seen evidence of a different kind of hope at work. Not a fickle hope, not a mindtrick hope, but a lasting hope. The hope that Paul describes as the ‘anchor of the soul’ (Heb 6.19). A hope built on Jesus’ resurrection and expectant of ‘the glory of God’, as Paul puts it in this Romans 5 passage.
And as we’ve put our hope to work, we’ve seen that glory burst through into the present in all kinds of different ways: people supporting one another through regular phone calls; committed Connect Group leaders and members; persistent-pray-ers; Covid-support for the community of Burley and other communities; people serving us through various ministries and teams; People becoming Christians on Alpha, new people becoming part of the family of St Matts (with all the barriers of facemasks and Zoom?!), new Connect Groups, new people leading in different ways, stories of people blessing their friends, neighbours, colleagues in new ways… As we’ve allowed hope to lead us, God has shown us his glory.
The last year has also been a year of suffering at the hands of Covid. We have all suffered in different ways – some aspects shared, some aspects unique to our experience. Speaking personally, I have so much to be thankful for. And yet one of the things going on in the background for me and my family – but which affects the whole of St Matts – has been the church planting process not working out as we’d hoped. It has been a long process of discussing, praying, discerning - and it is a real sadness that the outcome is that we won’t be planting with St Matts. A number of factors have led to this outcome, and while it is not an outcome that anyone involved wanted, it is where we find ourselves.

## **Achievement and Performance**
So… What next?? It seems to me the adventure of faith continually leads us back to that question, and that in it all, our priority (for me, and for St Matts) is still hope. As we all face uncertain futures, the priority is to keep our hope in the right place. And as we embrace the call to hope, God turns suffering into perseverance, perseverance into character, and character back into a firmer hope. And ‘hope does not disappoint’. Already God has provided in the gift of Rolfe coming to join us to plant in an area of both huge need and huge opportunity. It goes without saying that he has my full support and prayers.
I want to say a huge thank you to St Matts for supporting and praying for us in the process, checking in on us, and supporting my ministry. I also want to thank James, who has been a hugely supportive colleague and friend throughout. But it is not yet the time to say goodbye, so I’ll stop there for now! ‘Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful’. Hebrews 10.23

## **Independent Examiners Report**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St Matts Leeds ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

In 2020 St Matts Leeds started to analyze expenditure catagorys by function in more detail than previously disclosed for the benefit of the end reader of accounts. As this is the case it is likely that some expenditure classifications between category's will be slightly different from 2019 to 2020.
## **Parish Share**
St Matts Leeds is a parish church of the Church of England in the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds. By means of Parish Share the Diocese helps the funding of ministers, particularly parochial clergy, the work of various Diocesan bodies and work of the Church of England as a whole. The Diocese is a community resourcing a common task, and not a charity trying to raise funds to meet a need. In 2020, the amount paid by the PCC under the parish share was £41,278 (2019: £34,114).

## **Fund Transfers**
Resource Church Other diocese account
A transfer of £29,940 has been made to the general fund from the Resource Church restricted fund to reflect the purchase of the new boiler which is held as a fixed asset by the church.
The fund has dated back for over 25 years and the carried forward balance on the fund was unknown as to what this related to. Due to all avenue being explored to confirm what the restriction was being unsuccessful and the immaterial nature of the fund the balance was transferred to the general fund.

During this time their has also been a reduction in expenditure due to the pandemic, however this not been possible to reliably estimate compared to the income.

## **14 Consecrated land and buildings and other church property**
The PCC has the use of the church property which is excluded from the accounts by virtue of s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are capitalised where appropriate and allocated to the appropriate fixed asset category. The church halls and certain clergy accommodation are held in trust by the Chester Diocesan Fund on behalf of the PCC. These properties are essential for the mission of the church and have been in use for many years. Accordingly, they have not been capitalised as there is insufficient cost information and their depreciated cost is unlikely to be material. All expenditure on consecrated or benefice buildings is written off in the year of expenditure.
## **15 Related party transactions**
There were no related party transactions which took place during the year (2019: £0)

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
