STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Committees
The PCC operates through a number of informal panels that report back to the PCC for decision-making:
Standing Committee :
This Committee consists of the Chairman, the Vice Chairman, Churchwardens, Secretary and a PCC member. This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.
Other Committees:
Finance - overseas the general financial dimension of the work of the parish by monitoring income and expenditure against a pre-planned budget, budgeting and co-ordination of the annual review of the Christian Stewardship of money through planned giving.
Fabric - attends to matters relating to the stewardship of the fabric of the church and two halls together with the surrounding land. The general upkeep and maintenance of the Churchyard is the responsibility of Ipswich Borough Council as the graveyard was closed for burials, except for existing double grave vacancies and spaces reserved by faculty, by Order in Council sixteen years ago. There have been 7 interments of ashes in the Yew Garden, 4 internments of ashes and no burials in the graveyard during the year.
Mission - attends to matters relating to the mission and outreach of the parish and to the promoting of Christian education within the congregation.
Social - arranges and oversees social occasions offering opportunity for fellowship and also promotes fundraising ideas and events for the benefit of the Parish. It was felt that fundraising could also be used as a form of mission, and to publicise the Church around the area.
Communication- organises the parish publicity via The Whitton Times, the weekly Pew Sheet, and the parish web site. In addition it arranges the distribution of information regarding Parish events.
Liturgy and Worship- prepares the service booklets for each of the Church seasons. It is also responsible for the smooth running of the services.
Church Attendance .
There were 88 parishioners on the electoral roll at the end of 2020, 37 of whom were not resident within the parish. During the year 2 people died and 3 moved away.
Page 3
The average Weekly Attendance, in person (at the normal Sunday and Wednesday services) counted during October 2020 was 51 adults and 3 children under 16 years of age. Church at home estimated viewing 192.
Due to the pandemic there were no occasional services held in Church during 2020.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical [PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 Section 2]

-
different types of Worship and prayer; learning about the Bible; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
provision of pastoral care for people living in the Parish.
-
activities for children from Schools in the Parish.

Missionary and outreach work.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the year
The full PCC met 7 times during the year with an average attendance of 80%.
Our Learning Community and panels have met between meetings and reports of these were presented at the following PCC or Vision meetings and discussed as necessary. From April these were held on Zoom.
The general running repairs and maintenance of the Church, churchyard and halls have been addressed by the Parish working party. Since receiving the North Aisle faculty, grants have been received and a ‘Buy a Brick Appeal” was initiated to meet some of the costs of the work which has successfully reached its target.
We continue to participate in Inspiring Ipswich through our learning community. Our own vision has been the basis of our ideas for growth.
The fabric of both the Parish Hall and the Ascension Hall continues to give rise for concern. A grant for replacement of guttering at the Church Hall has been received and work will commence in the New Year. Unfortunately this year we have been unable to let either of our halls for income. This has had a severe impact on our finances.
Sadly because of the pandemic the spring bulb planting programme was unable to take place.
Due to the pandemic it was with regret that the following activities were unable to take place this year:
Family Services, Mums and Tots, Open the Book, Service of light and life, visits from schools, movie club,Wikidz and visits to Thurleston Nursing Home.
Remembrance Sunday service this year was held online. Individual wreaths having been laid the day before, following the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial which was filmed. We were able to have a short service of Remembrance in the churchyard at St Mary Akenham.
The Scout and Guide organisations have been unable to meet in our halls but have continued to meet on Zoom.
Page 5
Thanks to the goodwill of many people our participation in Operation Christmas Child resulted in 60 filled shoe boxes which were sent to children overseas.
After January and February the Elders were unable to take Holy Communion to the house bound but have kept in touch with people by telephone.
During the year our online Church at Home Sunday Services, fondly known to us as Conservatory Church, has been a great success and comfort to many and has reached across the world.
Shortly after the first lockdown an online service of Compline was initiated. This takes place every evening at 9.00pm reaching up to a 100 people and is led by Clergy and Lay people.
In November we established, in conjunction with the BASIC Life Community Charity, a pop-up shop for the people of the parish. BASIC Life is a Christian charity which endeavours to provide food and support to those in need in our community. After seeking a team of volunteers to assist in the project our shop opened on Wednesday 18[th] November and is held each Wednesday in the Church between 1-2pm. In exchange for £2 a re-usable bag is provided which may be filled with items from the produce

available. The bag can then be brought back to re-fill in the following week for a cost of £2. The produce on offer varies from fresh fruit and vegetables to pasta and long-life milk, tinned goods and toiletries. Anyone in need may come, no referral is required and there is no means testing.
There were 2 Weddings held during the year. In February a “Songs of Praise for Marriage” service, which was followed by the “Wedding Evening”. In January and February 2 Baptisms were held. There were 8 funeral services held in Church. In addition the Incumbents of the Parish conducted 18 funeral services at the Ipswich & Seven Hills Crematoriums.
Prior to the first lockdown we were able to squeeze in a Men’s breakfast and a ladies continental breakfast. We were very lucky to enjoy our Parish Dinner, two days before lockdown, when we were entertained by Charlie Haylock.
Sadly both social and fellowship activities were curtailed including, an outing, parish lunch, harvest supper, May and Christmas Fayres, Cheese and Wine in the Churchyard, Cream Teas at Akenham and a quiz. We look forward to these again happening in the future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The planned giving through the envelope scheme gift aid was £33,221.58 .This is a decrease on last year of £6,335.96 (2019: increase of £5,026.68). Cash collections decreased by 34.7 % (2019: decrease of 13.2%) this equates to an overall decrease in giving of 11.7% (2019 increase of 10.0%). We paid 45.9% of our Parish Share obligation. (2019 100.0%).
Reserves Policy
The PCC of St Mary’s & St Botolph met on 2[nd] March 2020 to review and agree the Parish policy on reserves. It was agreed that:
The Fabric Fund reserve should be no less than £1,000 to cover emergency payments.
The Organ Fund reserves should contain £500 to cover general maintenance costs.
General Fund Reserve (Deposit & Current Account) should be maintained no less than £8,500 to cover one month’s operating expenses. Missions Fund, no less than £500 to cover emergency grant aids.
The valuation of Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF) Investment reserves was agreed to be not less than £25,000, to reflect the current stock market situation, and would be kept under review.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Page 7
The PCC (as charity trustees) has reviewed and amended the comprehensive, strategic plan compiled in 2003, setting out the major opportunities available to the Church, and the risks to which it is exposed. The PCC has monitored progress against the strategic objectives set out in the plan at each meeting and a comprehensive review of the plan will be carried out annually. The PCC has set up through the Finance, Fabric, Mission & Social committees an ongoing review of all aspects of risk assessment, which cover the following aspects.
Financial Risks – The Finance committee maintains a constant overview reporting to the PCC ad hoc. The PCC believes that most aspects of financial risk are reviewed at regular meetings of the committee. They produce an annual budget, which is passed by the PCC, the budget is then monitored on a regular basis, and any major expenditure is investigated by the committee before approval by the whole PCC. It is the view of the PCC that financial risks are greatly minimised by the activity of the committee.
Reputation Risk – Over the last year any sensitive issues that have been discussed in confidence at PCC meetings always took into account the reputational concerns when making decisions. During the year the joint committees have reviewed how we avoid unwelcome publicity, which hinders the mission of the Church.
Statutory and Legal Requirements -The Parish has adopted the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy and to ensure that the policy is maintained a Safeguarding officer, has been appointed. Key workers are to be checked with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Other people working with children are to complete a confidential Declaration. The fabric & social committees ensure that activities carried out meet the necessary legal requirements. These committees will continue to review their activities and assess the risks so as to ensure that health and safety, employment law, and associated difficulties, which could lead to compensation claims, are minimised. Regarding Health & Safety, the Ecclesiastical Insurance model policy has been adopted. The PCC has complied with the duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure to have regard to the House Of Bishops guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
ST MARY’S & ST BOTOLPH’S CHURCH, WHITTON, IPSWICH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2020 TO 31 DECEMBER 2020
RISK ASSESSMENT (continued)
Operational Risk -Through the work of the Church Elders, Church Wardens & other church officers, systems are in place so that services can go ahead without Clergy, in cases of emergencies. The PCC will continue to carry out a full risk assessment on threats to the Church ability to deliver its objectives.
The PCC [as Charity Trustees] has established systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan. The implementation of procedures
Page 8
have minimised any potential impact on the charity. There has been nothing adverse reported.

ST MARY’S & ST BOTOLPH’S CHURCH, WHITTON, IPSWICH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES (MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL)
I report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 10 to 22.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and the Examiner
The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, 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 the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (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 report
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 with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with the Act; and
-
b. to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met;
-
or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

2. Accounting policies
2.1. Fund accounting
-
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the PCC in furtherance of the general objectives of the church. Unrestricted funds include revaluation reserves representing the restatement of investment assets at market values.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the PCC for particular purposes.
-
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
2.2. Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the PCC are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliably.
2.3. Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT
Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
2.4. Allocation of costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.
2.5. Grants and donations

2.10. Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
2.11. Investment gains and losses
