CHRIST CHURCH, WEST WIMBLEDON
Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31 December 2022
Christ Church is situated on the corner of Cottenham Park Road/Copse Hill, West Wimbledon. It is part of the Merton Deanery, within the Kingston Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Southwark.
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC registered with the Charity Commission during 2011, and is now a registered charity. The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC adopts appropriate training procedures to ensure members are updated on all matters affecting the parish. Any major risks to which the PCC is exposed, as identified by the PCC members, have been reviewed and systems established to deal with those risks. The Parochial Church Council is the governing body of Christ Church and is also legally constituted as a charity and so must comply with all other charity laws.
Led by the Vicar, the PCC is the lay leadership of the church. Together they are responsible for the overall wellbeing, practical and spiritual, of the church members, and the church buildings. Note that during a vacancy the PCC is led by the Lay Chair. The PCC also has a duty to promote the mission of the church within the wider community - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Although some of the responsibilities are devolved to the Vicar and Churchwardens, members of the PCC have the right to be consulted, to know what is proposed, and to have the opportunity to express an opinion on it. The Vicar chairs the PCC, and also the Standing Committee to deal with business between meetings as any arises. At Christ Church the Standing Committee includes the elected officers - Churchwardens, Secretary, Treasurer and one PCC representative.
The PCC annually appoints a treasurer to manage the day-to-day finances of the parish and report to each PCC meeting. PCC members are trustees of a charity and are responsible for managing the Church’s finances. They must ensure that all funds are properly accounted for, the books properly maintained, and the PCC annual accounts inspected or audited, and formally approved by the PCC, prior to the APCM.
In law, the PCC is a body corporate. This means that it is a separate body from the people who serve on it so PCC members are not personally liable for any debts incurred by the PCC. However, the trustees do have certain responsibilities under the Charities Act. The PCC is responsible for the care and maintenance of the fabric of the church building. The PCC is required by law to meet at least four times a year, though the Christ Church PCC meets more frequently
All those regularly attending Christ Church are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and are reminded that they can stand for election to the PCC.

Annual Report 2022
OBJECTIVES
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at Christ Church and to become part of the parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can reach and involve the people of the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament and encourages us to express our faith in practical ways in our day to day living.
When planning our activities for the year, the Incumbent and PCC have considered the Charities Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary, outreach, education and ecumenical work
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church and Hall Buildings of Christ Church to a high standard. We also take responsibility for the Health and Safety Policy and for the Safeguarding Policy for Children and Vulnerable Adults. We also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
PCC REVIEW OF 2022
As at the 2022 APCM, there were 160 on the roll, of which 55 are living in the parish and 105 outside. The average weekly attendance, counted in October, was 80 adults and 12 children. Covid-19 inevitably continues to have an ongoing impact on Sunday worship and at festivals.
As reported last year, ‘stop-start’ was very much the theme of 2021 but this year, 2022, has been much more ‘full steam ahead – with caution’! As the year unfolded, many of our activities were opened up again – including our Toddler Group, Junior Church, Together on Thursday social group and our KFH youth group. Our Hall has fully re-opened with thanks to Stefan Bown, Angelina Skelton and Corinne Phillips for their ongoing supervision and to our weekend caretakers. We are grateful to Tom Theakston who kept our musical life going during 2022. Many other people contribute much to the life of Christ Church and we are glad that they have been able to assist the church once again. We are grateful to them all including our children’s group leaders, refreshment servers, altar servers, church cleaners, flower arrangers, the choir, readers, intercessors, stewards, study, book club and prayer group convenors, gardening group, grass cutters and the social events committee amongst others, as well as Bill Petch who does so many odd jobs for us. Thank you also to Paul Brazier for maintaining the website, which has been a crucial tool of communication to keep us all together in the past year and to Tish Mousell and Naomi Lowe who are currently working on a template for a new website.
We are particularly grateful to Julie Grainger and Tish Mousell as our Churchwardens. They have been absolute towers of strength and we could not do without them. Generally, our buildings remain in a good state of repair, thanks to their hard work and vigilance. We continue to be grateful to our two Readers, Farhad Hedayati and Flis Banks for their support and work for the life of the church. The whole church continues to be hugely indebted to Sara Taylor our Administrator who works tirelessly behind the scenes ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Annual Report 2022
The PCC met every other month during 2022 and all members have worked hard: in particular we thank Judy Luddington for her work as PCC Secretary and John Davey for his work as PCC Treasurer working alongside our part-time paid bookkeeper, Margaret Hamps.
Two big projects successfully came to fruition in 2022: achieving the Silver Award as an EcoChurch and welcoming to Morden a Syrian refugee family being sponsored and supported by us for two years. A huge amount of background work went into these two imaginative initiatives and we are very grateful to Lucy Christie and Chris Larkman respectively for heading up the leadership teams who have worked extremely hard over these past years.
In November we were delighted to present six of our young people for Confirmation. All of these had been nurtured by the church since their birth – indeed five of them had been baptised at Christ Church and the sixth at a church in Mitcham. A real credit to Christ Church.
Safeguarding is a vital issue for every church to ensure proper and robust procedures are in place to care for our children and vulnerable adults and we are grateful to Jenny Tomlinson and Jane Simpson who look after this important aspect of our life for us – their formal report is below.
In all this, we should never forget that uniquely the local Church of England parish church exists for those who are not its members. It has been wonderful that the easing of Covid regulations has meant that visits to the schools and residential homes in the parish have picked up again, as well as our round of Life Events. We also play an active part in the life of the Diocese of Southwark, the Deanery of Merton and Churches Together in West Wimbledon.
Finally, one significant change to record was the announcement in October 2022 by the Reverend Michael Burns that he would be retiring on reaching his 69[th] birthday after 5½ years in the parish as Vicar of Christ Church. His last Sunday with us was on 8 January 2023. We wish him a happy retirement. The Churchwardens and the PCC are now working hard with the Archdeacon of Lambeth to move forward on the recruitment of a new Vicar. We pray that God may bless and guide us at Christ Church through whatever 2023 will bring.
SAFEGUARDING:
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
The Parish Safeguarding Officers (Jenny Tomlinson and Jane Simpson) report that there have been no safeguarding issues at Christ Church during 2022 and during the year Jenny reported to the PCC that she had completed the annual safeguarding parish audit, which has been submitted to the Diocese.

Annual Report 2022
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR: FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Unrestricted income was lower than expenditure by £24,033, producing a deficit during the year. In addition, falls in investment values on world stock markets resulted in a net loss on investments of £107,575 so funds reduced by £124,548, compared to an overall gain of £55,632 in the previous year. Total Income did rise but largely because of restricted donations. Planned giving reduced. Church hall lettings increased slightly. Church maintenance was £12,457 compared to only £3,950 in the previous year. There was also a cost of £4,200 for hall roof repairs.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on General Fund which equates to approximately six month’s unrestricted income to cover emergency situations which may arise from time to time. The residual balance on General Fund and substantially all the Designated Funds are being held to provide funds for the ultimate replacement of major parts of the Church fabric that wear out, including the organ.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The investment policy of the PCC is designed to achieve an appropriate balance between growth and income, together with a diversification of risk and the retention of a degree of liquidity to meet possible emergencies. Long-term investments are made in collective funds and are split between several fund management groups. The proportion of investments held in equity based funds, fixed interest funds and deposit is kept under review. An important component of the PCC’s policy is to protect the value of the investment portfolio over the long-term from erosion by inflation. With this in mind a significant proportion of equity based investments is retained .

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE PCC OF CHRIST CHURCH, WEST WIMBLEDON
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on Pages 9 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination no material matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with my examination to which attention should be drawn, in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2022
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of the PCCs, and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, together with FRS 102 (2017) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2017 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities, (SORP (FRS 102)).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
Fixed assets - Consecrated property and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements, in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. Movable church furnishings, held by the Vicar and the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are regarded as inalienable property unless consecrated and are not valued in the financial statements. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the year in which it is incurred.
The church hall has been included at a deemed cost being its 1997 valuation. The building component is being depreciated over 25 years with effect from 2006.
Individual items of equipment used within the church premises with a purchase price of £5,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. Equipment over this purchase price will be depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years, but no such equipment has been acquired in the last five years.
Investments - Investments are included at market value at 31 December. Brewin Dolphin Ltd, specialist investment managers providing charity services managed the church investments on a discretionary basis. The objectives set for the church portfolio are to maintain and grow the value of capital over the long term (over 10 years). The current arrangement is for income to be reinvested. Ethical investment criteria have been set within the definitions of the Church England. At the yearend investments were held within nine different funds. The total under management at the year end was £582K which included cash of £18K.
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.
Restricted Funds are those funds which must be spent on specific purposes. Endowment Funds are funds where the capital must be retained. Details of the funds held, and movements during the year, are in note 9.
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.
Incoming Resources - Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax recoverable under Gift Aid is recognized when the incoming resource to which it relates is received.
Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable, and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.
Dividends are accounted for when due and payable, and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.
Rental income from the letting of the church hall is recognised when the rental is due.
Resources Expended - Grants and donations are accounted for when paid, or when awarded if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan contribution or parish share is accounted for when due.
Contingent Liabilities - Christ Church PCC has agreed to underwrite the expenses required in settling a refugee family under the terms of the Government scheme, up to a maximum of £9,000. The scheme is proceeding and funds have been raised to cover expenses so far.
