financial giving were discussed and put in place. Reports from the Deanery of Oxford, and from ChurchÈ% Together in Central
Oxford, were discussed. The maintenanc¢ and fabric of the building continued to be a signific8nt item ol council business.
The COWD-19 outbreak and its consequent restrictions have been the major occupation of the PCC during the year. The PCC
has ensured that it complies both with the law and government guidance on public worship as well as diocesan regulations
and guidelines. The impact of COVID was severely felt on most èspects of the church's mission and activities.. public worship,
the opening of the church for prayer, pastoral care, and modes of teaching. The PCC took steps to mitigate the impact and to
continue to *05ter a sense of community insofar as was possible. The mitigation for Each activity is taken below under
Achievements & Performance.
The Parish Administrator is employed by the PCC to support the parish's ministry by fulfilling various administrative tasks, in

grateful to them for their assistance.
Before the COVID-19 restrictions, the Oxford UniveTsity Society of Change Ringers continued to ring the bells before the
principal seNice each Sunday and for special celebrations, a practice extending back 120 yea￿. The PCC is grateful to the
OUSCK for complementing our acts of worship $0 regularly and with such consideration for our needs and looks forward te
welcoming ihem back to patticipate in our worship.

Achievements and perforniance
Worship
The parish provides a centre of Catholic Anglican worship in the he8rt of Oxford with a strong tradition of preaching and
music with a full round of daily services 2nd accessibility to the sacraments.
In the usual pattern of worship. there is a High Mass on Sundays (preceded by Morning Prayerl and tsvo Low Masses. The
average attendance is usually in excess of 120.
On weekdays Morning and Evenin9 Prayer are normally said in church. drawing small but faithful congregation& The two daily
masses (lunch-time &nd evening) draw congregations from those who work in the city centre, or who are visiting the city. A
PTiest is available to hear confessions after the midday mass, and at other times.
Music of a high stsndard continues to play an important part in the Sunday worship of the parish,. the High Mass on Sunday is
normally accompanied by a semi-prole55ional choir of eight
Lent Holy Week and Easter nomially promde a gpecièl opportunity for outreach and mission. During Lent, a weekly Stations of
the Cross and Benediction L)f the Blessed Sacrament is combined with a sertnon series. On Good Friday, the Th￿e Hours
Devotion Inormally preached by the Vicarl is a major event in Anglo-catholic p￿a(hing, drawing a wide congregation. The
Congregation welcomes a lar9e number of visitors to the senJices of the Triduum and Easter Day. Al these opporrunrcies were
either lost or attenuated in online versions due to the first lockdtswn that began early in Lent.
COVID-19 Mitigotion
Public worship was suspended for a large part ol the year. The PCC sought to mitigate ihe impact of this by providing live-
streamed services conducted in a COVID-secure environment by minimal personnel. Sermons continued to be published on
the website.
The PCC sought to ensure thaL when public w0￿h1p became possible again, it was condutted in a COWD-5ecure manner,
ensuring soci31 distancing, providing sanit15er and masks, receiving communion in one kind IVIL, only the celebrant receiving
the chalice) and supressing congregational singing.
The pattern of worship was reduced to one ma55 per day during thè w&ek, and only one low mass on Sundays. A Sunday mas5
continued land continues) to be streamed even when public worship was possible to serve thosè sheltering at ho)me.
The PCC is grateful to the Director of Musi4 choir, and organist for ￿Sponding to the crisis with creatiwty, and especially for
providing extra music where cc)ngregational singing would normally occur.
Sacred Space
The PCC has met the challenge of keeping the church open at regular times during weekdays by employing an on site parish
administrator, ènd by drawing upon the goodwill of volunteer5 when he is not present Parishioners, citizens of Oxford, and
visitors to the city all make use ol the church lor prayer, or simply as a quiet place in the city.
The parish stall at St Giles Fair has not only beèn a very successful fundraising activity, but has also provided an opportunity to
'show off. the church to local people. The church building has continued to be used for concerts, which again has prowded
chance for the parish to make itself known to a wider range of people.

COVID-19 Mit£gation
Much of the foregoing was impossible for large parts ol the year as the Church was closed to visitors and the St Glles Fair did
not take place Iremoving one of the church's most important fundraising as well as mission opportunities). The PCC provided
resources for personal prayer on the parish website and signposted similar resources from the diocese and central church.
When the church could open again, Ihe PCC ensured that visitors were safe by providing masks, sanitise and signs explaining
stscial distancing rules.
The Vicar and Director of Music have kept abreasi of changes to guidance and regulation on public performance with a view
to allowing concerts to resume safely at the earliest opportunity.
Pastoral Work
Before pandemic restrictions, the parochial clergy continued to visit the sick and bereaved, and prepare Membe￿ of the
congregation and of tPte parish for the sacraments. Other members ol the congregation are also involved in visiting regularly
members of the cong￿gatIon in hospiial, care homes, or who are housebound.
COVID-19 Mit£grtion
During the height ol the pandemio In-pe￿an visiting was either prohibited or too high-risk to underrake. During those times,
The clergy and others involved with pastoral work kept in touch with pastoral cases via email and telephone, and the parish
developed an email list IGDPR compliant) to keep those who opted in up to date with parish news and in touch with the
clergy. The PCC were kept informed of the revised pastoral strategy (although not, of course, the details of individual cases).

Teaching
Work with children and students. and the support and encouragement ol those at any %Vdge of discemment of Christian
vocaiion, continues to be a priority.
A vocations network continue5 to be associated with the parish. During the year approximately tèn people connected with our
congregation have been in training or discernment The parish co-operates with the neighbouring parish of St Michael at the
Northgate in running a 'Children's Church."
A student discussion and study group club has met weekly during the University term. This has attracted students from both
universities and other collegèg in Oxford. A Bible Study Group, 'Scripture on Saturday" meets monthly as does 8 social and
educational group which gathers at the wcarage.
Two homegroups me&t regularly for fellowship and study.
A team of catechists, both lay and ordained, has been formed to proiqde initial Christian instruction and to agsist those
preparing lor the sacraments.
The"School of Theology. made up of clergy and ordinands associated with the parish, was launched in 2018 with a festival
weekend and during 2019 published its first book 'Love Makes no Sense An Invitstion to Christian Theology, with SCM pres%
This has been very well received and sales have been highly encouraging. Two more book projects We￿ undertaken in 2019
for publication in 2020. An extremely successful series of internet publications has been maintained the School webstt
which was managed by Dr Jong until his departure from the parish.
COVID-19 MitigGtion
Most groups continued to meet onlTne and keep in touch remotely, the Scripture on Saturday meetings on Zoom proved
especially popular, with increased participation. Sermons published to the website continued to provoke discussion and
correspondence with the clergy.
With the depanure of Drjong at the end of his curacy and the advent of the pandemic, the School's activities were de-
prioritised in lavour of core pastoral attivities. As we emerge from the Pandemio the PCC will consider appropriate steps to
continue and deepen the work of the School.

Promotion of Christianity
The leadership teams has conttnued to update and expand the parish website, a popular resource on the parish and Anglo-
Catholicism and the website of the 51 Mary Magdalen khool of Theology. The parish's presence on social media sites such as
Facebook and Twitter has increased, particularly as a means of engagement during the pandemic SeNices are St￿amed on
Facebook Live, so anybody with a Facebook account can join watch either live or on catch-up. The Sunday seryice is often
viewed by more than 100 Facebook users.
Supporting Charities
The parish hès continued to support the work of the Gatehouse Drop-in Centre, the Emergency Food Bank, and the Oxford
Winter Night Shelter.
Financial review
Over the year the net assets of the PCC decreased by £24,965
The PCC has continued to meet its target ol paying its Parish Share to the Diocese, accepting the Deanery strategy thai
parishes should cover at least their clergy costs that fall on the dicKese.
Resetves Poli
In past years the PCC has had no formal policy concerning reseNes. It has however, operated within a code of practice by
which it is understood that there should always be sufficient liquid ftjnds to cover the Parish Share paid to the Diocese, along
with charitable donation5 and all routine annual running costs as they fall due. The ability to do so has been monitored on a
rolling quarter by quarter basis, projecting forward 12 months, rather than a year endjudgement.
It has been an aspiration that tax efficient planned giving, augmented by the Gift Aid recovered, should cover the Parish Share.
Most of this is received thraugh the Parish Gimng Scheme which provides a reasonable level of security in managing cash flow.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The major risk is the impact of the pandemic on parish giving. The high proportion of giving through planned giving at St
Mary Magdalen's is a major mitlgation of the 8bsence of giving the plaie. HDwevÈr, the absence of the plate does remove a
giving venue, p3rticularly at Easter and Christmas when large numb&rs ol occasional worshippers are p￿Sent. It is not clèar
when it will be safe to reintroduce it. Moreover. those currently supporting the Parish through planned giving may find that
they are unable to continue to increase their donation5 in line with any rasing costs, especially as the financial and economic
impact of the pandemic unfolds over the coming years.
In 2015 the PCC purchased an investment property and in 2020 received rentsl income of £27,120.
Re13t&d to outgoings the fabric of the church building will always provide a level of uncertainty, even when propedy
maintaifted. Our insurance policies are ￿vieWed every three years Ilast in 20151. Major capital projects are undertaken only
after specific fundraising appeals and are underwritten by The St Mary Magdalen Restoration and Devel(>pment Trust
Future Plans
The PCC will continue to promote in the parish the whole mission of the Church through prayer and worship, teaching and
leaming, and seNtng the wider community. tn practice, we will achieve this by maintaining our pattern of services, continuing
our study programmes and ministry to students and ordinands, and engaging in pastoral contact with and minTstry to the
geographical parish as well a5 to the networks of our gathered congregation and our many visitors.

Notes to the Financial Staternents for the Year Ended 31 Decembèr 2020
l Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 1997 to
2001, the Charities Act 2011, applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ire5and IFRS 1021 leffective l January 20191- Icharities SORP IFRS L02)1.
The financial statements are drawn up under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of
investment assets at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for
which the PCC is responsible in law. These financial statements 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.
St Mary Magdalen Oxford Parochial Church Council meets the definition of a public benefit er)tity under FRS
102. It has been decided to report on the accruals basis in line with previous years.
2 Accounting policies
Funds
Unrestricted funds are general funds available for the general objectives of the church.
Designated funds are unrestricted fund5 that have been set aside by the PCC for particular purposes.
Restricted fvnds can only be used for the purposes for which they have been given, within the objectives of the
church. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against those specific funds. The aim and
use of each fund is explained later in the Notes.
Endowment funds are restricted funds which must be held pemianently and the capital maintained while the
income is restricted.
Incoming resources
Income is recognised in the SOFA when the church has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving is recognised only when
received. Grant5 and legacies are recognised as soon as the PCC becornes aware of its legal entitlement and the
amount due is quantifiable with probable certainty- Income tax recoverable on gift aid donatians is accounted
for when the gift is received. not when the tax refund is received.

2 Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources (continued)
When incoming resources have related expend iture las with fundraising incornel the incoming resources and
the related resources expended are accounted for gross in the SOFA.
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the church or the arnount actually
realised. Gifts in kind for use by the church are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable and includes any recoverable tax.
Realised gains are accounted for on assets held for the church's own use are tsken into account at the time of
sale.
Resource5 expended
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is rocognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation
to pay for goods or setvices.
All costs have been directly attributed to the various categories within the SOFA.
Any general support costs have been allocated across activity Cost categories on a basis conslstent with the use
of resources based on an allocation of actual costs.
As the church is not registered for VAT, all expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.
Governance costs include the cost of the preparation of the annual financial statements, the cost of PCC
meetings and the legal cost of advice on governance or constitutional matters.
Grant5 and charitable giving are accounted for when paid over or when awarded, if the award creates a binding
obligation on the PCC, provided that there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the
control of the church.
Parish Share is accounted for when paid except that any Parish Share unpaid at the end of the financial year is
provided for in the financial statements as a constructive obligation, although not a liability, and is included in
the balance sheet as a liability.

-.contir)ued
2 Accounting policies (continued)
Fixed assets
Consecrated and beneficed propety of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 of the Charities Art
2011.
Investment and freehold propety held for the PCC by Diocesan Trustees Ioxfordl Limited as custodian trustee
is included in the balance sheet.
Land and buildings held on behalf of the PCC for its own purposes are valued at cost. No depreciation is
charged against such properties, since in the opinion of the PCC these properties are maintained to a standard
that does not require depreciation, but any expenditure on maintenance or improvement is written off as
incurred. Provision will be made if there has been any permanent diminution in value.
All capital expenditure in excèss of £LOOO, for a single item or a group of similar items, is capitalised.
It has not been possible, without incurring expense and effort disproportionate to the value of those using
these PCC accounts, to establish the value of longstanding inventory assets of the PCC. and they have therefore
been excluded from these financial statements.
Otherwise depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost evenly
over the expected useful economic life of assets as follows.. Office Equipment: 3 years,. Music chests 20 years:
other fumiture, fittings and equipment 5 years.
Investments
Investments are shown on 31 December at market value.
Both realised and unrealised gains are shown under 'other recognised gains/llossesl' section of the SOFA.
Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared or) a goir)g concern basis. There are no material uncertainties
related to events or conditions that cast Significant doubt upon the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern.

St Mary Magdalen Ioxfordl PCC (PB 20141 participates in the Pension Builder scheme seuion of CWPF for lay sts*f. The Scheme is
dministered by the Church of England Pensions B08rd. wh￿h holds the assets of the schemes separately from those af the St Mary
Magdalen PCC and the other participating employers.
The Church Workers Pension Fund ha5 a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, a deferred annuity section known as PEnsion
Builder Classic and a cash balance sectton known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension PAJilder Scheme
The Pension Builder Stheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund 15 tnade up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder
2014, both of which are classed as defined benEfit 5cheme5.
Pension Buildcr Classic providcs a pension for members for payment from retirement accumulated from contribution5 paid and
converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from
tirne to time. Bonuses rnay a150 be added, depending on investment returns and other factor5.
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump surn that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension
contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuse5 added by the 8oard before ret1￿[ne￿L The
bonuses depend on irtvesKment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The accounL
plus any bonu*5 declared, 15 payable from rnÈmbers' Normal Pension Age.
There is no sub-division of a55ets between employers in each section ol the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scherne is 8 tnulti-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not Possible to attribute the penS￿n
Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined
contribution scheme.
The pensions costs charyed to the SOFA in the year are contributions payable12020.. £913, 2019.. £8721.
A valuation of the Pension 8uilder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December
2016. For the Pension Builder Classic section. the valuation revealed 3 deficit of £14.2m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the m05t
re￿nt annual review, the Board chose not to grant 3 diSc￿￿Onary bonus, which will have acted to improve the fijnding position. There is
no reouirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension 8uilder2014 section, the ￿luatIon revealed a surplus of £1.8m 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 employerfails. St Mary
Magdalen Ioxfordl PCC could become responsible for paying a Share of that empbyer's pension liabilities.
