## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST LEONARD’S PARISH, HYTHE** 


## **Aims and purposes** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the parish of St. Leonard has the responsibility of co-operating with the  church wardens and Rev Michael Darkins to promote in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of the two churches of the parish, St. Leonard’s and Holy Cross, and for the Parish contribution, agreed by the Joint Council, to the St. Michael’s Methodist Anglican Church Centre (StMMACC). 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our   churches and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve all those who live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through sacrament, prayer and scripture. 

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

i) worship and prayer, and the development of spirituality through study and discussion 

ii) provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish iii)missionary and outreach work 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the churches in the Parish.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## _**Worship and Prayer**_ 

The PCC is keen to offer a range of services throughout the parish that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Eucharist is central to our worship in the form of Sung Eucharist with choir at St. Leonard’s, and occasional services of Holy Communion and Christmas services were held at Holy cross. However Holy Cross has largely remained closed this year, but worship and more regular services are now restored. Holy Communion is celebrated once a month at SMACCS There is full choral evensong at St. Leonard’s each Sunday. There are also weekday services throughout the parish. 

Our main services are live streamed, also weddings, funerals and baptisms on request. 

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present, there are 116 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. The average weekly attendance for the whole parish, counted during October, was 122 adults and 10 children under 16. 

There has been 9 baptisms, 2 weddings, and 11 funerals held in church and 11 funerals conducted on behalf of the parish at crematoria and cemeteries. 

. 

## _**Deanery Synod**_ 

_**3**_ members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider diocesan structures. 

## _**Pastoral Care**_ 

The Pastoral and Healing Team of the parish, in liaison with the clergy, ensure that all those who are unable to attend church because of age or ill health are visited and given communion when requested, also our services are live streamed which has been appreciated by many. A service of healing and wholeness is held monthly. 

## _**Mission and Evangelism**_ 

Our monthly Parish Review is distributed widely in the community and is always available at the back of each church. 

The refurbishment of the property in the town has been completed and our 101 project has made a promising start with a small shop which sells local handicrafts and books and has an area for use of the community which local organisations are finding useful as well as a meeting space for church groups. 

The church continues to maintain strong links with Hythe Bay school, and we have been pleased to be able to welcome them in the church for church days and their services each term. 

Through these the children become familiar and comfortable with the church and begin to learn that the church is part of their town and for them to use.

## _**Ecumenical Relations**_ 

Churches together in Hythe and Saltwood are making an effort to get things moving and are making a positive step forward. 

## _**Financial Review**_ 

Total receipts for unrestricted funds were £130,222. In addition restricted income of £16,634 was also received and is detailed in the financial statements. 

Planned giving through bankers orders and weekly envelopes was £54,402 (£52,973 in 2021) while the plate collections at all services totalled £8,468 (£5,095 in 2021). 

The total expenditure required for the year totalled £233,750 of which £218,681 was from unrestricted funds and included a loss of £9,399 on investments. 

A total of £82,708 was spent on furnishing the High Street business premises known as the 101 Open Door Project. A Community Interest Company (CIC) was set up during the year and are now responsible for collecting income and dealing with the running costs of the project. 

The parish share as assessed by the Diocese of Canterbury was £81,279 and this was paid by the parish in full utilising £21,000 of reserves. However, there are still historical arrears of £102,306. 

## _**Reserves Policy**_ 

Following receipt of legacy funds 2021 the sum of £200,000 was invested in an income account with the remainder of the legacy is still held in cash.. 

Cash reserves held at the bank at the end of the year totalled £144,900.19 of which £140,090.76 is unrestricted. In addition there is a long term investment portfolio valued at £191,483 and further investments held with CBF Church of England funds of £8,744. Expenditure on the fabric at St Leonards Church is met by legacy funds or requires a request for funding from the Friends of St Leonards, a separate and independent charity. It is necessary from time to time to utilise some unrestricted reserves to settle the parish share. 

The parish receives rent from a residential property which may be used for general purposes as well as the upkeep of that property. 

## _**Volunteers**_ 

Our large team of volunteers is what makes the church function. These include members of the PCC, servers, church cleaners, sides persons, choir members, bell ringers, coffee makers, flower arrangers, churchyard maintenance workers and many others, all of whom add up to a band of helpers who willingly give their time for the good of our church community.We  are truly grateful to them all and offer our heartfelt thanks to them all.

_The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP._ 

_The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of freehold property and investment assets, which are shown at market value._ 

## _**Funds**_ 

_General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted._ 

_The accounts include all transactions, asset and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members._ 

## _**Incoming Resources**_ 

## _**Voluntary income and capital sources**_ 

_Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under covenant or gift aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due. Funds raised as a result of specific fund raising events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and guides are accounted for gross._ _**Other ordinary income** Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due._ _**Income from investments** Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year._ 

_**Gains and losses on investments**_ 

_Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investment on 31st December._ 

## _**Resources used**_ 

_**Grants** Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC._
