The Parochial Church Council of Brownhills with Ogley Hay

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

Charity Registration No.1139697

Objectives and Activities

The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical parish of Brownhills with Ogley Hay it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively within the Ecclesiastical Parish and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and
Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole

We are active in promoting the local food bank with both time and food donations.

Our work would not be possible without the contribution made by volunteers especially during the recent pandemic.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Prayer – We offer a variety of services to suit all ages and tastes as well as many opportunities for the community to join us in prayer.

Deanery Synod – Our representatives attend regularly and report back to the PCC on a regular basis.

Church Fabric – As volunteers we regularly maintain our building through work parties for such tasks as window cleaning, gutter and drain maintenance and generally keeping the environment tidy. The church is inspected every five years (2019) by the Diocesan Architects.

Mission and Evangelism – Our volunteer team visit all primary schools in the parish regularly to present Open the Book – the Bible in a fun and understandable way. We also hold a Procession of Witness on Good Friday.

Church hall – Local community groups use the Hall, often with no charge. The facility is available for anyone to use.

Other Activities – We organise a range of coffee mornings along with a summer fete at which the community plays an active part .

Financial Review

Our overall financial position is steady, with accounts breaking even or making a small profit.

Our prinicipal source of funds are from congregational regular giving. Full use is made of Gift Aid.

We now have a Justgiving page through Lichfield Diocese.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance in reserves. They are held to allow for emergencies and any cash flow problems which may arise.

We operate a Restricted Account which contains money held on behalf of various church groups, including a need Fund.

It is our policy to invest the short-term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund and the remainder in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.

Safeguarding

The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ Guidance on Safeguarding, Children and Vulnerable Adults).

Fundraising

The PCC takes it fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all donors, whether regular or occasional, for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC take full responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. The PCC policy is for all fundraising to be for particular charities and not for the day to day running of the church.

Volunteers

The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church a lively, vibrant community.

Future Plans

Our plan as a PCC is always to move forward and to see where the Holy Spirit leads us.
