## **Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31[st] December 2022**
## **(Continued)**
## **Structure, governance and management**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and can stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The PCC met six times during the year. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC also has a Standing Committee to deal with matters arising between meetings, and this met an additional five times during the year. The Standing Committee is responsible to the PCC and reports back to it regularly with matters discussed and decisions made as necessary.
## **Objectives and activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church, to develop their faith, and to build up a sense of community within the parish of the Annunciation. The PCC maintains an overview of worship and activities throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how these can involve the many groups who live or work within our parish, as well as those visiting our neighbourhood. For example, our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament, as well as preaching and teaching. We thereby try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Close links with the parish VA school - Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, and with Wetherby School
- Missionary and outreach work through community events, such as classical concerts and carol services.
The PCC is continually looking for new ways, within its capacity and resources, to build up its parish life, for example investing in our growing provision for young children and parents. To help finance such activities, the PCC makes use of its main asset, the church building, to raise income by letting part of the crypt and a section of the west end of the church under license to the Bryanston Nursery. To maintain its support both for parish activities and the letting of the church building to other community users, the parish regularly undertakes work to maintain and, where possible, enhance the church building and its facilities.

## **Achievements and Performance**
## **Worship and Prayer:**
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year to the benefit and spiritual fulfilment of our community. For example, a spoken daily Mass during the week provides a quiet and reflective environment for worship, whilst opportunities to engage in more dramatic worship is also provided in Sung Masses on Sunday mornings and occasionally at High Feasts. Everyone is welcome to attend our regular services.
This year the church has recovered well from the impact of the global pandemic, welcoming more people into our church than in recent years, including lots of new young families. This recovery is evidenced by the successful reestablishment of our Sunday School provision, as well as significant numbers of infant baptisms through the year. In addition, thought has been given to considering how best to enable all our community to celebrate key High Feasts, with our provision on Christmas Eve, for example, being adapted so that families, including young children, could celebrate the Nativity at an early evening Crib Mass. It is pleasing to report that the new arrangements have been well received.
At present there are 177 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. 8 names were added during the year and 1 removed (because they moved overseas). The average weekly attendance, counted during October and recorded on the parish return to the Diocese, was 563, which included 400 people engaging with God through our work with local schools. The weekly figure is often higher, but this data is recorded during a period that includes a school half-term.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of new life, through confirmation we enable people to claim their baptism promises as their own, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing, and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for a life now completed in this world, and commend the person to God’s gracious keeping. In 2022, we celebrated 19 baptisms, as well as seeing 7 young people confirmed by the Bishop. However, there were no weddings or funerals held in our church in 2022, although we did hold one memorial service. The church has also relaunched its work with the London Deaf Church following its disruption during the pandemic, running a successful Christmas Carol service, as well beginning to develop an annual programme of events for the Deaf Community to mark significant moments in the Christian year. The church’s work with Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School also remains at the centre of our parish life, and we continue to enjoy welcoming Wetherby School into church each Friday for their weekly assembly and act of worship. Along with Sunday School, it means around 750 children are engaged in church activities each week during term time.
## **Deanery Synod**
The Vicar and one member of the PCC currently sits on the Deanery Synod. The synod provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. For example, it has enabled the PCC to consider a wide range of issues, including providing an opportunity for members to hear about Eco- Church and environmental sustainability when we hosted the Synod in October.

## **(Continued)**
## **The Church Building**
To facilitate the work of our church it is important that we maintain the fabric of the building and encourage people to visit and make use of our services. We want our church to be open to our community for private prayer as often as possible and have therefore opened the building each day during the week from 11am-3pm. Unfortunately, the building can’t always be staffed outside these times given the limits of our resources, although it is often open for longer periods when possible. We have also begun to work closely with London Town Chamber Fest to offer music concerts to the public. An initial concert at the end of the year was a great success, and a programme is now being developed for 2023. During the week the church undercroft is also used by Bryanston Nursery, which offers day care to children. After all the disruption of the pandemic, it is pleasing to see that the building has been well used in 2022.
However, the building fabric has been causing concern for some time. A detailed report on its condition was prepared by the church architect, Alex Sherratt of Matthew Lloyd Architects, after a scheduled Quinquennial inspection in November 2021. The PCC had already anticipated the need for major structural renewal, and so it is our policy to make provisions from general income in the expectation that matchfunding will be required as part of any successful funding application. Remedial work at high level has needed to continue in the interval to ensure the building remains safe. Nonetheless, it is on Historic England’s ‘At Risk” register. We therefore tried to make significant progress on restoration and development work in 2022, putting together a number of applications for financial assistance. We were grateful to Benefact Trust for a small grant towards the restoration project in 2022, but will continue to work on this project in the coming year.
Aside from the behind-the-scenes work on a major restoration/development project, we have made some modest progress with the building this year as well as undertaken remedial work to keep aspects in good working condition. We continue to make use of the “Gutter Maintenance Scheme” to ensure water runs freely from the building. The cause of a leak which damaged a toilet in the undercroft has also now been fixed, though the repair of the toilet still needs to be done following a protracted negotiation between the relevant insurance companies. We have had several walls repaired and painted, for example the back corridor, as well as getting a structural engineer to examine various cracks at high level in response to the Quinquennial Report.
However, we unexpectedly needed to begin a different repair and conservation project in 2022, following an act of vandalism on our Calvary War Memorial on the corner of Old Quebec Street. Following consultation with the Diocese of London and the War Memorials Trust, our architect produced a schedule of work which was put out to tender. A wide range of quotes were received for this specialist work, as well as correlated fundraising applications. We were delighted to be awarded a generous grant of £20,000 from the War Memorials Trust to help pay for the work once it begins. We await news other applications for the remainder of the funds, but the work is scheduled to go ahead in 2023.
We also received a condition report on our organ from Bishop’s and Son in 2022, which set out a proposed schedule of work to keep it in good order. The projected cost was estimated to be in the region of £130,000, which would require another major work in fundraising. Given the necessary restoration work to the building following the Quinquennial Report, it was decided that no further progress could be made on maintaining the organ at this time. Nonetheless, the decision will remain under review.
## **Pastoral Care**
Fr Lincoln Harvey visits those who request pastoral support in the parish. For example, he visits those who are dying, are sick, or who seek God’s blessing on their new home. Some members of the parish are unable to attend church services, so we also offer an online service of Compline each week to enable access to anyone who wants to pray remotely.

## **(Continued)**
## **Volunteers**
The church depends on many volunteers, who generously help run its activities. The PCC would therefore like to thank everyone who works so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular we want to thank our churchwardens Dr White and Mr Phillips who work so tirelessly on our behalf and also Mr Najjar who manages the church’s accounts and its finances, as well as the church office. We are also especially grateful to the dedicated teams of Sunday School Leaders, Servers and Refreshment Teams, who generously devote time and resources to the benefit of our local community.
## **Mission and Evangelism**
Our parish newsletter is distributed weekly to all subscribers and is also made available on the church’s website. The newsletter keeps people informed of forthcoming services and public events, as well as a prayer list for intercessions and invitations to seek pastoral care. The church also publicises events on its external noticeboards, as well as distributing flyers to the local community (including the many local hotels) for major festivals and events. The church also advertises its activities through social media channels and through its local networks, such as the parish school’s mailings.
## **Ecumenical Relationships**
The church is a member of Churches Together in Westminster. Fr Lincoln Harvey has also established closed links with the neighbouring Rabbi at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue, with regular meetings to discuss shared matters of interest to our respective communities.
## **Financial Review and Reserve Policy**
The total incoming resources on unrestricted funds were £176,207 with expenditure amounting to £174,951, as detailed in the financial statements. There was no gain or loss relating to investments leading to a resulting net incoming of resources of £1,256 with unrestricted funds, at 31st December 2022, totalling £197,088.
Incoming resources for 2022 have been fairly consistent with previous years. These did not however include tax claims for Gift Aid receipts or VAT refund through LPWS. Both amounts will be claimed during the 2023 financial year.
The Annunciation, made its full contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund in the year, amounting to £85,200. This contribution largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The sum that the churches in the Deanery have to find is shared between the churches according to a formula that is based mainly on a head count of the congregations.
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance held on unrestricted (including designated) funds at the year end, together with the amounts payable to and by the PCC, was in excess of this target. Though this suggests we are on a firm financial footing after the pandemic, the aftershocks of Covid continue to be felt. Income remains pretty much flat, whilst costs continue to increase. This means that our existing budgets are under sustained pressure and the expansion of our mission and ministry continues to be frustrated. This is partly because we’re still in the process of negotiating with Bryanston Nursery to reach a financial settlement related to debts they incurred with us during the pandemic. A contingency plan was put in place in 2021 which remains until a final settlement is reached with the nursery, which is why reserves are currently at their level. It is the PCC’s hope that once a settlement is reached, monies can be used for match-funding in grant applications to address the serious issues with the building that were identified in the Quinquennial Inspection and enable us to move off Historic England’s ‘At Risk’ Register and encourage greater community use of the building through sympathetic development to improve facilities (such as providing a disabled toilet) .

## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities**
The Parochial Church Council’s members are responsible for preparing accounts for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its state of affairs at the end of the year. In preparing the accounts, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
- select suitable policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Independent examiner**
The Parochial Church Council thanks Mr Simon Mee for taking on the role as The Annunciation’s Independent Examiner. He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors.
Whilst Mr Mee is a member of the congregation, he has no direct involvement with the PCC that might compromise his independence.
Approved by The Annunciation Bryanston Street PCC on 21[st] May 2023 and signed on their behalf by the Revd Dr Lincoln Harvey.

## **Independent Examination – Annual Report & Financial Statements for Year End 31/12/22 - Parochial Church Council, Church of the Annunciation, Bryanston Street (Registered Charity No.1146634)**
The Charity Commission’s directions for an independent examination of accounts fall under the following headings:
- 1- Examination & accounting thresholds
- 2- Documentation
- 3- Understanding the charity
- 5- Comparison with accounting records
- 6- Analytical procedures
- 7- Examiner’s report
- 4- Accounting records
1. Examination & accounting thresholds – The gross income for the year ended 2022 was less than £250k (mainly lettings income, planned giving, Gift Aid envelope donations, other donations and Culture Recovery Fund Grant).
- Under the Charities Act 2011, a charity’s accounts can be subject to independent examination rather than audit if gross income is ‘ _no more than £1 million, provided that if its gross income is more than £250,000, its gross assets (fixed assets plus current assets) are £3.26 million or less’_ . As the Charity’s gross income in 2022 was less than £250k and its assets were less than £3.26 million, the 2022 accounts qualify for independent examination.
2. Documentation – The examination working papers which have been retained include a draft copy of the annual report and accounts (received 18 March 2023) and a copy of the end of year workbook (with worksheets for cashbook, incoming, expended and bank accounts).
3. Understanding the charity – The examination included review of the draft annual report for the year ended 31/12/22 (not yet completed as of 18 March 2023).
4. Accounting records – The records above were provided for examination along with relevant invoices; receipts; HSBC bank statements for 2022 for three accounts (a/cs 22426552, 20232173 and 91372858); and CCLA COIF Charities Deposit Fund 31/12/21 statements for three accounts (a/cs 816500001C, 816500002C and 816500003C).
5. Comparison with accounting records – The 2022 accounts were compared to the accounting records (see 2 above) to verify the expenditure related to the work of the church, voluntary income, income from activities and asset values.
6. Analytical procedures – A comparison of the 2022 to the 2021 accounts was carried out to identify any material changes between the two years that required further explanation; and, an analysis of the 2022 balance sheet was undertaken to determine if the totals were in line with the Charity’s activities in the year.
7. Examiner’s report – As a result of my examination, I am generally satisfied that the accounts accurately represent the income and expenditure items in the accounting records and that the accounting records are adequately supported by documentary evidence. Further, the items in the balance sheet are appropriate and are supported by the accounting records and relevant documentary evidence.
- **Crypt lettings income 2022**
- The draft 2022 accounts (as of 18 March 2023) indicate that of the £125,000 contracted rent for 2022, the tenant paid £109,375 with £15,625 recorded as debt in the balance sheet.
- However, at the end of 2021 the tenant owed £12,471 in rent (after £100,000 was transferred from the tenant’s deposit of £125,000 to cover 2020 and 2021 shortfalls). The tenant’s total rent debt for 2021 and 2022 was **£28,096** and I have suggested that this is the figure which should be recorded in the 2022 balance sheet (unless further drawdown from the remaining deposit has taken place).
I understand that the Church is in discussion with the tenant regarding the rent debt and reduced deposit. I recommend that suitable commentary for how the Church is managing the risks associated with rent debt and reduced deposit is included in the 2022 annual report’s financial review.
## **Gift Aid received & Listed Places of Worship Scheme (LPWS) VAT refund 2022**
I noted in my examination that the draft accounts did not record the receipt of Gift Aid or of an LPWS VAT refund in 2022. I understand that both will be claimed in 2023.
## **Examination Certificate**
I agree with the contents of the examination certificate in the 2022 draft accounts i.e. there is no material misstatement in the accounts, the accounts accord with the accounting records and the accounts/accounting records are in line with the 2011 Act.

## **Unrestricted Funds**
General funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.
## **Restricted Funds**
Donations or grants received for a specific purpose or invited by the PCC for a specific purpose. The funds may only be expended on the specific purpose for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.
## (c) **Incoming Resources**
All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
## **Voluntary Income**
Collections are recognised when received. Planned giving receivable is recognised only when received. Grants and legacies are recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due.
