STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Constitution or Document

The PCC is governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956) and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).

Recruitment of Trustees

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 Rector), other churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. In addition, ordained clergy who are licensed to the parish are ex officio members of the PCC, as are the elected representatives to Deanery Synod and representatives from the Parish who are Diocesan Synod members. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Nominations are called and persons voted for at an Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM).

Use of volunteers

The PCC employs a number of staff but also makes significant use of volunteers to carry out its work. Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the work and are supervised by leaders accountable to the PCC.

Organisational Structure

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 full PCC met six times during the year. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has a small number of committees which sometimes meet between full meetings of the PCC, with each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life, as detailed below:

Visionary Leadership Committee: comprising some PCC members and other lay & staff representatives of church ministries assisting the Rector and PCC in discerning vision for local ministry. Met 3 times this year.

Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. We did not need to meet this year.

Missions Committee: Assisting the PCC on external giving matters. Met once this year.

Risk Management

The PCC reviews the key risks facing the Church, the controls in place to mitigate them and any action required on an ongoing basis. The PCC continues to review and develop the strategic direction of the Church and considers how its exposure to risk changes as a result.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Background

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Michael’s Church, the Lighthouse, and the Rose Cottage Centre

Objectives and Activities

Purpose: To follow Jesus in living upwards to God, inwards to each other, and outwards beyond the church walls.

Vision: To see God’s river of life transform the church, Twerton, and beyond. (Ezekiel 47)

Mission: REFUGE & RESCUE

These aims and objectives are in line with the deanery’s current threefold vision:

The ‘Gathered & Scattered’ approach to meeting as a church community has its challenges but continues to bear fruit primarily in enabling a disciple-making culture with a clear balance of UP-IN-OUT. There are currently four Missional Communities each with the mandate to become extended families of disciples on mission to reach and make new disciples in pockets of Twerton and beyond:

Lighthouse Ministry

Public Benefit Statement

The PCC takes its responsibilities as a charity very seriously. The church has always contributed a great deal to the community and will strive to continue to do so. The reports below describe some of the work that St Michael’s has undertaken over the last year and includes reports for the Lighthouse Ministry and school Chaplaincy.

The PCC seeks to be as inclusive as possible in its work and strives to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our aim is to involve as many people as possible in both running and participating in events and activities, many of which are facilitated by volunteers. The worship, groups and activities are open to anyone within and outside the local community. The Church building, the Lighthouse and the Rose Cottage Centre are important local resources and are used by various groups and individuals not directly connected to the Church for their own activities and events.

While many who join us in our gatherings are very generous in their donations to the PCC, there is no requirement for anyone attending services to donate money to the church. Any charges levied for specific

Page 5

activities and events are kept as low as possible, and the PCC will always look to help where people are struggling to afford the cost.

The PCC has forged strong links with a range of individuals and organisations. It supports the work of other churches and charitable organisations in Bath, the UK and throughout the world to promote the Christian faith and to help the vulnerable and needy from all faiths and backgrounds.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Church attendance

At the time of the APCM there were _67__ names on the electoral role, compared to _61__ names in September 2020. As with many churches this does not necessarily provide the most accurate picture of attendance, and there are many on the electoral role who don’t attend regularly or have moved on and many more who are not on role who attend both Missional Communities and Sunday Celebrations regularly.

Rector’s Report

It has been another challenging year but as Covid restrictions finally and fully lifted we have been able to see the fruits of the pruning we experienced as a church during the pandemic. Jesus said to his disciples in John 15:2 “[My Father] cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” Whilst there may have been pain in the process, I believe we are a closer to being a community of disciple-making disciples on mission to see God’s river of life transform the church, Twerton and beyond. Across the country many dioceses are also having to prune and re-align resources. Our own diocese has not been immune to the financial challenges and so we will be prayerfully preparing for changes affecting our own deanery and pray this will likewise lead to greater fruitfulness.

Celebrating & Thanks

Wonderfully, our general giving has increased, our buildings are all being utilized and new people have joined the church in the last year. Thank you to everyone who has given sacrificially with time, energy and financial support. Thank you to those who have led our missional communities and volunteered many hours in serving ministries across the church. Thanks to the amazing staff team and PCC for all your dedication and vision. I want to particularly honour our treasurer, Chris Turner and outgoing church warden, Dan Shaw. Chris continues to demonstrate remarkable dedication to both excellent accounting and communicating complicated financial reports in accessible ways, managing the demands of this role with full-time work, marriage and other areas of ministry in the church. I am also grateful to Dan who agreed to continue as a solo warden for another year and I have been very grateful for his leadership as we navigated more change and his encouragement to PCC to revisit building projects ahead of the next Quinquennial inspection due sometime in 2023. He has decided not to stand for another year but has kindly agreed to be consulted and offer informal legal advice when required. I also want to thank Katrin Amlacher who stepped down from her role as Parish Safeguarding Officer last September. She helped us with the transition to the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard, which helps us keep track and monitor our policies and training. I have held the position of PSO in the interim and am happy to announce that, following successful completion of safer recruitment procedures, Qamar Rafiq will be formally appointed to the role at the next PCC meeting and will undergo

Page 6

necessary training with the diocese. In the meantime, please continue to report any safeguarding concerns to me at safeguarding@stmichaelstwerton.com.

Changes

One challenge has been how we support the role of church warden & treasurer in a parish with multiple listed buildings, growing staff team & significant financial budgets, but relatively low voluntary capacity to take on such demanding roles. PCC therefore decided that the most efficient and sensible decision was to adapt one of the current staff roles to directly support these church offices (Warden & Treasurer). The previous church administrator role came to an end last year with Sarah Jenkin’s departure and we advertised for a new role of ‘Buildings manager with finance’. Jennie Brind took up this position in the summer of 2021 and this new arrangement has been working really well, though will be under review this year as new people with different skills and capacity take up new roles and we continue to adapt to changing structures and the evolving shape of the Marlbrook Team ministry.

Through prayer and discussion, PCC agreed not to resurrect the 58:12 project to re-develop the church site, but rather to focus our attention, energy and resources toward specific missional projects. Some of these proposals were outlined to the church in January 2022 and please find below an overview of these projects:

Developing the Lighthouse Ministry

Last year we launched and developed our Lighthouse outreach ministry, promoting Nathan Gale to Lighthouse Leader, increasing his hours, and releasing him to enrol on a theology course with a day for study each week. Part of Nathan’s remit is to develop and establish a Lighthouse support network that builds a circle of both regular financial donations and prayer around the Lighthouse ministry. This will not only provide a more predictable and stable income stream but will allow us to expand the reach and capacity of Lighthouse, help other churches and organisations connect with Twerton, and strengthen the prayer covering for the mission work. Some of the developments we are dreaming about are maximising the café’s income and missional potential, offering a rehabilitative program for people overcoming addictions and being able to respond more effectively to needs as they arise in the community.

Lee Abbey Small Missional Community house

Following a year of prayer, conversations, and visiting we are planning to open a Missional Community House in partnership with Lee Abbey. The intended location is the first floor of Rose Cottage and we have instructed an architect to assist us in returning this space back to residential accommodation before recruiting individuals who sense a calling to live here as missionaries amongst us, praying and serving the vision of St Michael’s. Due to the age and condition of the building and the fact that the café will continue to operate downstairs, we need to follow expert advice, submit planning applications and meet specific regulations in order for it to be a habitable space. In the meantime we are continuing the conversation with the Lee Abbey trustees and will provide regular updates on the project. This project has the Bishop’s endorsement and is being viewed with interest as a potential replicable model of resourcing mission and ministry within a changing landscape in the diocese.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint

In line with the Church of England’s commitment to become ‘net-zero carbon’ by 2030, this year we began to explore the possibility of renewing our heating systems both to reduce costs but also to take seriously our role as stewards of this particular part of God’s creation. We have been speaking to experts and sustainable energy solutions will remain on the agenda for the coming year. Here is an illustration of some of the ways we will be exploring reducing our carbon footprint as a church in the future:

Measuring success?

Whilst the growth in giving, church membership and projects are indeed things to celebrate and may well be both a symptom of and a means by which we can further invest in spiritual health of the church, it is easy to just use these three measurements alone to ascertain their success rate as an organization. I would encourage us to keep in mind some of the ways Jesus seemed to measure success:

Page 8

It is difficult to measure these things in concrete ways as a whole community but one of the reasons for continuing our Gathered and Scattered approach and establishing a lay leadership team to work alongside the PCC was to keep these priorities on the agenda and hold ourselves accountable for becoming a people committed to the vision of seeing God’s river of live bring transformation to the church, Twerton and beyond.

With the upcoming retirement of our Team Vicar, Robert, the arrival of a training Curate, and the renewal of the Marlbrook Team ministry, we are looking ahead to a more collaborative future with opportunities to bless and resource other churches as well as to learn and receive support. We believe God is training us up to send us out, with new communities being planted, existing communities multiplying and everyone discovering their calling as God builds His kingdom in the city of Bath. I invite you to ask God how He is calling you to commit to the vision this year and make a difference in these communities.

Deanery Synod Report

Deanery Synod is a group of clergy and elected lay representatives of all the Church of England churches in the diocese. There have been three meetings over the year and we are now meeting in person again. Rev Richard White attends, as well as myself from St Michael’s.

I am passionate about churches working together in the area, as together we are stronger for Jesus and can learn from each other and support each other. Different churches may sometimes have different focuses and needs but it’s good to collaborate and see what encouragements in the body of Christ there have been, what outreach initiatives, as well as prayerfully support each other and discern new ways forward. Although Deanery Synod is a Church of England network, there have been presentations from leaders of other denominations and a growing desire to work more together.

Some of the priorities for the work of Deanery Synod for 2022 are:

● Relationship/Sharing

○ Collaborative working across parishes and traditions so we’re less separate, breaking down stereotypes, encouraging one another, continuing links made during Covid, welcoming diversity

● Personal revival

● Support education - plus support rural areas

● Mission and Relationships

Page 9

● Growth

Different focuses in meetings have included the environment and how we can make changes in our churches and communities to help steward our world (Lucy Turner also accompanied to that meeting), including a focus on CAFÉ BANES (Christian Action for Environment in BANES), which has Christians from over 30 churches in

the area and we looked at the theology of care for the environment, heard from different environmental projects different churches and communities are involved with and had a talk from Sarah Grimes, chair of Transition Bath – informing us about steps, like looking at the power of community, renewable energy, ebikes and other possible options.

Deanery Synod has promoted a Home for Good event, a central Living in Love and Faith course and there have been joint church prayer events in the Abbey on Shrove Tuesday and last November. There is a new 247 prayer opening at the SDA chapel next to the Abbey , between Ascension and Pentecost, 26[th] May – 5[th] June with a launch event on 24[th] May 7:30-9pm at Bath Abbey. (Let’s support it!)

If you’d like to know more, do ask, there is scope for another representative in the future too!

Staff Reports

Chaplaincy at St Michael’s School

Reflecting back on the last few months it continues to humble me to see how God provides opportunities to share His love in the school community.

Here are a few things that have been happening:

Page 10

this hasn't been possible. This is something I would value your prayers for in the coming weeks as plans are made.

These are just some of the highlights, but I thank God for the daily opportunities to get alongside staff and children in class and outside in the playground, to give a listening ear, support and encouragement. Several staff are leaving at Easter and your prayers would be appreciated for new staff who are joining the school.

Lighthouse Ministry Report

In the last year we have seen a lot of comings and goings with the Lighthouse Centre. We started off the year filling all the time slots with different agencies offering different services and this is how we got there:

Step1

We called time on the recording studio and decided to turn the then rec house into a bustling hub for our community . This started with the emptying of all the buildings and getting ready for a repurpose. Step 2

We put a new floor in the old recording room and turned that into the new foodbank cupboard and combined room for our kids on a Sunday. This has had a great positive response from all that are using it, from larders to kids and volunteers at food bank who are not all from St Michaels. Step 3

Finding open and willing partners to come and fill time slots to offer our community what support that might be needed. This consisted of Bath college, Food bank, DHI, Nest , Clean slate, Southside family support, Young advocates plus more one off bookings.

Conclusion

While some of the agencies have since stopped due to various reasons from funding to staff issues we still have a very busy building offering so much. We have had countless good reports from staff, agencies and service users of what a great venue the lighthouse centre is and how it's great that stmichales has been able to open its doors to make this happen.

We are never done right now. We as a team are looking at other ways we can serve this great community and who might be a good sustainable partnership going forward.

Church Building

It has been wonderful to see all three of our buildings back in regular use following the easing of COVID restrictions, none more so than our treasured main building, with regular worship services resuming in Easter 2021 (continuing a pattern of regular worship stretching back 500 years).

Our building continues to stand the test of time, the urgent repairs to the roof having been carried out following the last Quinquennial Survey in 2018 and regular maintenance ongoing, but significant work is required to modernise the electrical and heating systems and bring them into line with our long term vision of carbon neutrality. To that end, Richard met with the Diocesan Buildings Adviser, Emma Brown, earlier this year to discuss our aspirations and options for improvement.

A key area for improvement is our heating system, which is currently (although not unusually for a Victorian church building) very inefficient, in large part burning gas to heat empty roof space. A number of potential options are available, including solar panels on the roof (subject to Conservation Area consents) and ground source heat pumps. It was recommended that we arrange a proper survey of the building to assess viable heating solutions; I would encourage the new warden(s) to take this forward with Jennie’s assistance (and mindful that the next Quinquennial Survey is due in 2023).

On Emma’s recommendation, and with PCC’s agreement, we are also working up an application for permanent removal of the pews, which PCC agreed had been a success.

We hired a weekly gardener in the autumn to help maintain the churchyard (in addition to the high level maintenance carried out by the Council) and have benefitted from the tidier and more attractive environment. Occasional recreational drug use has continued to be a problem and we have taken precautionary steps, including installation of a safe needle disposal bin and gloves (for use by the gardener and staff) and warnings to parents and carers to supervise children on our gathered weeks.

Lighthouse Centre

As Nathan has reported, the Lighthouse Centre (formerly known as the Rec House) has been permanently repurposed from its former use as a commercial recording studio to support our growing Lighthouse Ministry and community outreach. The building remains in regular use by the church for children’s work and smaller gatherings.

A new wireless alarm system has been installed and, following an attempted break-in/vandalism earlier this year, PCC approved the installation of CCTV to improve security.

Signage has been erected in the accessway/parking spaces outside the building which has improved accessibility and safer use of this area by vehicles.

The future ownership and use of the Full Moon pub (not owned by the Church) remains uncertain but it will be helpful for the new warden(s) to note that the Church owns a small strip of land comprising part of the accessway and car park adjoining the Lighthouse Centre, for which a small annual fee is charged.

Rose Cottage

New wireless alarm system installed (in parallel with the Lighthouse Centre).

The first floor office has been in limited use following the rise of increased home-working during the COVID pandemic. With the boiler needing to be replaced (now carried out) and the central heating system serviced, PCC approved relocation of the office to unused space on the ground floor, where it remains.

In an exciting new vision project (mentioned by Richard above) PCC has approved the change of use of the first floor from offices (back) to residential, specifically for use as a Missional Community House in partnership with Lee Abbey. Jennie is ably organising the various architects, contractors and planning consents required to realise this vision and I encourage the new warden(s) to continue to support her in what promises to be a fruitful new chapter in the life our worshipping community.

It has been a privilege to serve as warden in the last couple of years and I am indebted to Richard and Jennie for shouldering much of the administrative load. We are incredibly blessed to enjoy these historical buildings and I look forward to seeing them blossom into their full potential as we continue to seek and serve the lost.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial year for St Michael's is the calendar year. Overall income for the year 2021 was approximately £181k, an increase of 26k on 2020, and the 2021 expenditure of £146k indicates a higher level of spending from the 2020 total of £133k. Therefore, in 2021 we oversaw a surplus of £35k, compared to a surplus of £21k last year and a shortfall of £20k in the previous 2 years. At the end of 2021, the financial assets of St Michaels total £247k comprising £141k in endowment funds, and £106k in cash reserves. Of these cash reserves, £31k is restricted, meaning it can only be used for the purposes specified by the donors.

I am immensely grateful to all those who give to Saint Michaels and your support means a lot. We say it almost every week, but we rely on giving for everything that we do. I’m aware that these past few years have come with significant financial pressures, so to see the planned giving from our church family just continue to rise is simply amazing. Thank you to everyone who is either a regular giver or has even just thrown the odd donation our way.

One of the big drives that I have had this year is to embody the “Everyone gets to play” ideas of mission that we have been exploring as a church. This has been done by encouraging members and volunteers to fill in expenses claims to contribute to the ministry they’re involved in with St Michaels. Richard and the staff team are not best placed to know where exactly all the money should be spent, so we now have a way of letting the church, the people, channel the resources that we have. It has been really exciting to see some of things the expense claims cover. This varies from food to craft materials, from easter eggs to sports equipment.

The PCC have pledged to make sure that we donate 10% of the previous year’s unrestricted income (meaning money received with no conditions on what we can spend it on) on giving to external causes. In 2021 in addition to the charities we donate to every month (Youth for Christ, Southside, Send a Cow, Genesis Trust, Mercy in Action, Church Ministry among Jewish people and Open Doors, for Christians in Nigeria) we donated to the following causes:

Page 13

By the end of 2021, we had £1,500 of the budgeted external donations left unspent. The PCC’s giving subcommittee elected to keep a reserve for reacting to any need for donations over the Christmas period and the underspend has now been donated to charities supporting refugees fleeing from Ukraine (Bath Welcomes Refugees, Julian House, Hill House retreats and World Jewish Relief).

Many of you pledged money to support the recruitment of a Next Generation lead worker in 2020, a role we hoped would oversee our work with children and youth. We have advertised multiple times for this role and have been unable to recruit each time. The money is still set aside for this purpose and we are currently reconsidering whether we need to adapt the role and how best to proceed. If you have any ideas or know of anyone who would be interested, please get in touch with the PCC.

The detailed breakdown of the 2021 accounts can be found in the following pages of this report. Please note, all figures presented in the following part of the report are rounded to the nearest pound. If you have any questions, or ideas please get in touch by emailing treasurer@stmichaelstwerton.com

Notes 1 to 7 on the following pages form part of these accounts.

Notes

  1. The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis.

  2. These funds were not used in 2020.

  3. Statutory Maternity Pay was received not as payments but as a credit against the HMRC payments. At the end of the calendar year, we have £2,529 credit in the HMRC PAYE account which is carried over to 2021 and will be used to pay 2022 staff HMRC costs.

  4. The income gained from Rec House project activities was gained from selling the Rec House recording equipment acquired in previous years.

  5. To quote Black Rock correspondence: Capital at Risk . All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/St. Michael’s and All Angels Church Twerton Bath PCC members of

On accounts for the31[st] December 2021 Charity no1147405 year ended (if any)

Set out on pages

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the responsibilities of accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not trustees and examiner required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general examiner’s statement 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
