**2022-23 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of ST MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS, TWERTON ON AVON** _**Part of the Marlbrook Team**_ Incumbent Rev Richard White Bank LLOYDS BANK Plc Independent Examiner Colin Goater Church Office Rose Cottage, 42 High Street Twerton BATH, BA2 1DB 01225 351 643 Page 1 **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PCC For the year ended 31st December 2022** ## **LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** ## **Charity details** The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Michael and All Angels, Twerton on Avon. It is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Rectory, Watery Lane, Twerton, Bath, BA2 1RL ## **Charity Registration number: 1147405** ## **Details of Trustees** PCC Members are either ex officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. Elected members normally serve for 3-year terms. The following served as trustees and as members of the PCC during the year following the AGM: |Incumbent (Chair)|Richard White| |---|---| |Team Vicar|Robert Pimm (retired October 2022)| |Reader|Dilys Smith| |Church Wardens|Chris Tatchell| ||Iain Kyle| |Deputy Church Warden|_Vacant_| |Deanery Synod Representative|Rachel Hicks| |Treasurer|Chris Turner| |Secretary|Kirsty Pitkin| |Safeguarding Officer|Qamar Rafiq| |Elected Members|Richard Eaton| ||Julie Lewis| ||Chris Turner| ||Scott Wheatley| ||Nicky Grizzell| ||Lisa Morris| ||James Hicks| Page 2 ## **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 nine 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. We did not need to meet 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. It met once this year. Marlbrook Finance Committee: comprising of a selection of PCC members, admin staff and volunteers from both churches to discuss, draft proposals and advise on matters of joint finance across the team ministry. ## **Risk Management** Page 3 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** ## **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 **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 Oldfield Park_ *. (Ezekiel 47) ## **Mission:** REFUGE & RESCUE - Providing places of _refuge_ to those in crisis & those in need (Lighthouse Ministry) - Introducing Jesus, our _rescuer,_ through extended families on mission reaching out to people of peace (Missional Communities) These aims and objectives are in line with the deanery’s current threefold vision: - Prayerfulness - Hospitality - Innovation _*this addition has been included following a renewed commitment from both churches to serve under a shared Marlbrook vision_ ## **Strategy for achieving the objectives** The ‘Gathered & Scattered’ approach to operating 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 three _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: - **Roots & Shoots** (reaching those with roots in Christianity) - **Agape** (loving and drawing in those on the edge) - **Wild Church** (formally known as ‘Families’ modelling kingdom family across the generations) Page 4 A fourth missional community, E.A.T, made the decision to take a break from meeting, but those in the group have joined other communities and the leaders remain committed to the vision and are seeking God for direction about future mission. ## _Lighthouse Ministry_ - Lighthouse Café at Rose Cottage (opens Tuesday & Wednesday) - Lighthouse Chaplaincy at St Michael’s Junior School. - Food Bank distribution run by a team of volunteers from St Michael’s church & Genesis. This operates Tuesdays & Thursdays at the Lighthouse Centre - A new Warm Space launched to meet the needs of those battling the food and energy crisis (See reports from Nathan & Gwen below) ## **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. 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 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. ## **ACTIVITIES & ENGAGEMENT** ## **Church attendance** At the time of the APCM there were _70_ names on the electoral role, compared to _67_ names in May 2022. As with many churches this does not necessarily provide the most accurate picture of attendance, and Page 5 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** ## _Weekend Away_ Following a period of embedding and consolidation of mission and ministry, St Michael’s enjoyed a successful weekend away in June at Windmill Farm in Oxfordshire. Due to the generous donations we were able to not only cover costs of this event but have a designated fund for future church retreats. ## _Deanery Pastoral Reorganisation_ Following the news of the Diocesan 5 year plan to reduce stipendiary costs with a requirement to make savings of five posts within the Bath Deanery, I received a proposal from the Area Dean to explore the possibility of St Barnabas coming into the Marlbrook Team with a view to sharing resources across a larger team. Together with the wardens from all three churches, Robert and I began discussions with St Barnabas PCC about whether this was viable. However, the initial willingness to explore this partnership was hampered both by the withdrawal of the incoming curate, and then further complicated by some theological disagreements. However, despite this plan for expansion being placed on hold, it precipitated both Ascension & St Michael’s PCCs responding positively to the call to embark on a renewal of the Marlbrook vision preceding the retirement of its team vicar, Robert Pimm. This has enabled a much closer partnership and sharing of resources. Both administrators have adapted their roles to serve the wider team with one post administrating the maintenance of buildings and the other finance & bookings. The Lighthouse leader and chaplaincy roles remain focused on Twerton. Further information about the deanery plan can be found under the Deanery Synod Report ## _Energy Crisis – Sacrifice to Serve_ Following reports of the coming increases in energy costs both PCCs made a decision to share a building for gathered services on services and it was decided that St Michaels building would temporarily close (except for occasional offices and occasional school services) for the winter resulting in an estimated saving of £6000. This proved to not only save us money but also enabled the fostering of relationships between congregations and combined with a grant from National Grid, we also were able to resource a Warm Space food project feeding up to 80 people in Twerton over the winter period. We can also celebrate the fact that we reduced our carbon footprint by reducing our use of gas and electricity. We further invited and received a green energy audit from ‘Green Journey’ who identified measurable ways we could save energy and reduce our environmental impact. PCC have considered these proposals and when capacity allows will continue to explore how to integrate greener solutions into the future running of our buildings. If this is an area you are able to provide time and expertise then please contact the wardens. ## _Pews & Re-ordering Project_ Those who have been long-time members of St Michaels will recall when the last of the pews were removed. In October 2017 we were given temporary permission to reorder the internal space by removing the remaining nave pews, moving 5 radiators to the sides and laying a carpet over the whole space thus creating one large, open, flexible space. This temporary license expired on 31st August 2018 but the combination of a vacancy and then Covid in the following years delayed the application to make these Page 6 changes permanent. These changes had also formed part of a much grander project called the 58:12 Project that aimed to re-develop the site to enable an accessible integrated space for the wider community. PCC revisited this project in 2022 and discerned that embarking on such a costly ambitious building project in the context of a cost of living crisis was inappropriate, but that we should still seek to apply for a permanent faculty for the removal of the pews. The process is ongoing and the DAC require more detail about both the history and future vision for the building before submitting the application to the chancellor. ## _Lee Abbey Small Missional Community house_ You may remember that last year we signalled a desire to establish a missional community house in partnership with Lee Abbey and identified Rose Cottage 1[st] Floor as the preferred location. We had plans drawn up and planning permission was granted. Contractors have inspected and quoted and applications for grant funding have been submitted. However, we only managed to secure very small amounts of funding and the only two quotes we have received are deemed cost prohibitive. We continue to trust that the vision for a community house of prayer and mission is from God and are open to exploring alternative avenues to enable this project to progress including the use of alternative buildings. The vision was never about a particular building but about a community of people committing to a life of prayer and mission in the parish(es). ## _Giving Thanks_ Wonderfully, we can say again that 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. We thank our church wardens, Iain Kyle & Chris Tatchell who are standing for another year. Our treasurer, Chris Turner, has taken the difficult decision not to stand for another term and so I’d like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to him for all he has done to enable the smooth, efficient, strategic and faith-filled use of the gifts given and grants awarded over the last three years. We continue to see the merit of the paid administrative support being focused around supporting both the roles of warden and treasurer enabling these voluntary roles to be more manageable and efficient as ministry demands continue to place additional demands upon our limited finances and historic buildings. Our next Quinquennial inspection is booked for the summer of 2023. - _Richard White (Team Rector)_ ## **Deanery Synod Report 2022** It has been a year full of significant developments on Deanery Synod, all of which have had a very direct impact on Ascension Church and The Marlbrook Team. We make no apologies for the length of this year’s report as we feel it is essential to understand the wider situation and how it is impacting on all church communities. The 3 key areas of focus have been: - The Deanery Plan which has been developed in response to financial challenges facing the diocese and involves pastoral reorganisation within the diocese - A detailed session on the state of finances within the diocese led by Matthew Pinnock, Diocesan Head of Finance and Operations, who gave a presentation on the Diocese’s Financial position at January’s meeting. Page 7 - The proposals for General Synod and the resulting debate and decisions, around same sex relationships and marriage. These proposals come after several years of listening to God and one another through the Living in Love and Faith process which many have engaged with Each meeting began with a time of worship together through music and a time of prayerful and biblical reflection. We have also had Archdeacon Ven Dr. Adrian Youings and The Rural Dean Stephen Girling in attendance at 2 Ascension PCC meetings allowing our PCC opportunities for discussion and questions on our way forward as a church. _Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all [ Ephesians 3;20-21]_ ## The Deanery Plan This is an extensive document outlining a Diocesan 5-year plan [ 2022-2027]. It defines and details the pastoral reorganisation that will take place. This is in response to a necessary reduction in resources that had been outlined in advance to PCCs within the diocese [ Archdeacon Adrian’s visit to PCC in May 2022] and which all PCC members had the opportunity to respond to. Essentially the reduction equates to 5 full time clergy or equivalent across Bath – 22 down to 17. Decisions around the level of licensed ministry will reflect the number of people in the worshipping congregations under its care. [ N.B this is not the same as the number on the electoral roll] No vacancies will be advertised until proposals have been considered by the Deanery Mission and Pastoral Group [DMPG] Church growth will be pursued through a “mixed ecology” of church. Traditional worshipping congregations [church buildings on Sunday] alongside growth through outside groups based around common interests [e.g. sport] or common spaces [café/pub/school etc.] Pioneering projects are to be encouraged [ e.g. café church, muddy church]. Partnerships between churches to enable sharing of resources is to be developed. The Deanery Leadership Team will be responsible for recruiting and training Lay Worship Assistants [LWA’s] and Lay Pastoral Assistants [LPA’s] The changes need to be seen alongside the diocese work on “enabling ministries” - https://www.bathandwells.org.uk/ministry/enabling ministries/ Bishop Ruth [ Taunton] says: “ We have already done a lot of reflection on what it means to be Church. Over the next few years, we shall continue to put that thinking, praying, listening into practice. We will build on what is good among us and developing new ideas and ways of organising our life together” The main points arising from the discussions around the plan were extensive with many questions raised at the November 2022 Deanery Synod meeting. It is clear that significant financial savings need to be made. Several members expressed concern about the capacity of the laity to take up the roles of LWA and LPA. The Deanery Plan is going to place a high level of demand on the remaining clergy and the laity. We raised the concern about the burden on lay readers and general laity who are currently leading and managing churches on a voluntary basis and the real possibility of burn out for some of these, especially where there are very few within a church prepared to take on these roles. Also, the pressure on our ordained ministers when they may have a considerable increase in work load. We asked for the number of Marlbrook Team ordained ministers in the draft plan to be corrected to reflect the current situation following Robert’s retirement. A few other practical concerns were raised e.g. The special nature of the needs of Magnificat parishes; focus on partnerships to ensure “no one in ministry alone”; not prioritising urban over rural parishes; not undermining new growth by removing essential resources, alongside some Page 8 specifics relating to accuracy and accessibility of language within the document. The time for discussion of the lengthy plan was limited. Claire Horton is available for parish support and spoke briefly about her role. Mike Taylor [ Freshford Church] spoke about training of Lay Worship Assistants – An 8-session course for those interested in leading worship. The 5 Year Deanery Plan is available should more detail be required ## Current Deanery Financial position: Reading reflection: Ecclesiastes 11 v 1-6 We had a very detailed meeting on this in January led by Matthew Pinnock where the finances were presented with great clarity and questions were answered. I have identified some of the key points from his presentation below: A breakdown was given of financial contributions across the Deanery over time, so it was easy to see the clear shortfalls which the Deanery 5-year plan is attempting to address. ## **Diocese overview – Key Statistics –** _**this really does set the whole financial challenge in context, particularly the drop in regular worshippers since 2014 - a drop of over 20%. Interestingly, the drop in Parish share is only approx. 10% but this means that fewer people are contributing more financially**_ **:** Stipend £27,764 Pension contributions 28% Housing costs >£7k Estimated average cost of stipendiary minister >50K Estimated adult population of the diocese 800,000 Estimated regular worshippers 2014 21,926 Estimated regular worshippers pre pandemic 18,962 Estimated regular worshippers current 16,117 Parish share received in 2019 £10.2m Parish share received in 2022 £9m Number of benefices in the diocese 178 Cost of minister x Benefices £8.9m Matthew and Stephen Girling presented us and our church communities with the following questions: - What opportunities exist to grow our church communities? - What could we do differently to appeal to our existing and new church communities? - How do we nurture and cherish those inside the church without them taking on all the financial pressures? - How do we encourage the wider community to support their local church One key question from the deanery synod reps. was about parish share and whether this should be reduced if a vicar was not being replaced. It was explained that all the parish share monies are put into 1 pot and then divided out to pay for the stipendiary clergy. This was a very interesting and challenging meeting which clearly laid out the very stark challenges that the church is facing and the urgent need for action. Again, further details are available if required. General Synod Proposals for Same sex relationships and marriage This has been another significant development which will have an impact on all churches and follows on from several years of listening praying and discussion through the Living in Love and Faith process. Page 9 Richard has kept both churches fully updated on the issue and made his own position very clear to all which has been extremely helpful. Matt Orr was elected to be one of our Deanery Synod representatives at General Synod and he produced an excellent series of daily video clips explaining the debates taking place at General Synod in February. Other representatives are Christina Baron, James Cary, Emma Joy Gregory and Nic Tall. Those in the House of Clergy were The Revd. Roger Driver, The Revd. Simon Robinson, The Revd. Jo Stobart and The Ven Dr. Adrian Youings. A final decision is to be made by The Bishops in July, allowing clergy the opportunity to feedback their responses. A letter from The Rt Rev Michael Beasley [ Bishop of Bath and Wells] and the Rt Rev. Ruth Worsley Bishop of Taunton was sent to all PCC’s and is available should more detail be required. So, in summary this was a year with major challenges for the Anglican community and a sense of urgency in addressing them. For anyone thinking of becoming a bit more involved in understanding the issues, finding solutions to these issues and contributing to how the church moves forward, we can highly recommend standing for Deanery Synod. It has certainly been a very interesting 3-year experience and we would be very happy to talk it through further with anyone who might be considering it. Kath Brownell [Ascension] Fiona McCartney [Ascension] Rachel Hicks [St. Michaels] ## **Staff Reports** ## _**Lighthouse Ministry Report**_ 2022 has been a hard year for all and because of this we have seen our outreach (lighthouse) become in more demand. This has taken many forms from supplying food support to advice and help with work and or benefits. I will break down what each of our outreach arms have done in this last year and where we would like to see improvements for the coming year. ## **Rose cottage** The cafe has seen an increase in numbers through the door (120 -150 a week)as we have seen people in our community reach for something even if many don’t know what. The cafe has the same issues many have in the form of dramatic increases of food costs and energy bills and much more but during this time we have endeavoured to keep our prices rock bottom to offer a place for all to come even if they don’t have much there was still a place theory could come and hang out and not feel like a charity with hands out. That being said we made the decision that we would make a fund available for those that can't afford it through a ‘pay it forward’ scheme. I have to admit that this has brought its own challenges as we have yet to find a way so people can come in and get food but at the same time look like they are paying as normal as while some don’t have an issue I believe some would rather go without asking instead of asking. So this is point one for the coming year we want to develop a way for a discrete transaction to happen. We are only open two days a week at the moment and this is partly due to me having Thursday as my study day so Tuesday and Wednesday are our main days again. This will be looked at for the next year when my studies come to an end or we hire a kitchen manager. Page 10 All said and done we have been able to support and love many people this last year which has made our relationships deepen and give us the foundation to share the gospel. We also started an inter church prayer meeting on a Tuesday morning at 830 we have regulars from genesis and mercy in action all doing stuff on our high street. ## **Lighthouse centre** We continue to house the food bank which can be accessed on Tuesday and Thursday. We have been actively strengthening our partnership with genesis (the umbrella charity for foodbank) in a few ways one of which is inviting team members to the Tuesday prayer time ., Other agencies reaching out from the lighthouse centre are bath collage DHI and nest. Again, nest is a long term partnership which we are continuing to build on. ## **Chaplaincy at St Michaels** A window into some of highlights from the Chaplaincy at St Michael’s Junior Church School April 2022 – April 23 - Celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee - Said ‘goodbye’ to staff who left the school and helped welcome new staff in September - Helped lead the school in a time of Remembrance for HM The Queen - Encouraged Twerton Infants to join us in the church for Harvest, Christmas and Easter celebrations. Staff and children from both schools have said how it’s been to be altogether - Richard and Nathan continue to join Gwen in leading worships in the school on Wednesdays. We have been using a resource ‘It’s Jesus’ which draws on stories from the gospels. - Richard and Gwen (and Rachel) helping support the school in getting ready for the SIAMS (Church School inspection) - Working with the Chaplaincy Crew – 12 children from Year5/6 to help lead worships - Lunchtime BiF Club for children in Years 5/6 - Praying weekly with Nicky Grizzell in school for school - Conversations with children and staff; sharing in their joys and pains - Opportunities to support staff practically and to follow up at times outside of school - Helping to re-establish links with Cleeve Court after Covid and taking in groups of children - Helped support some of our Muslim children through Ramadan - Helping the school community to remember that in a constantly changing world that God loves us unconditionally and that He is Immanuel 'God with us'! ## **Lighthouse garden team** Mike Smith started the Gardening Group as part of the timebank charity in 2020. At the request of the charity a small group started clearing and then planting in a small piece of land that was overgrown and strewn with litter. As part of the church Mike also offered the groups services to clear and tidy the gardens of vulnerable people who were unable to look after their gardens. In February 2021 social services contact Mike to see if they could clear a back garden and move play equipment so that a child could use the garden as her father was unable to do so because of injury. Since that time the group now consisting of four men who regularly attend and others who may help on an ad hoc basis have cleared numerous gardens and planted hundreds of bulbs in the Twerton area. Examples of their work is as follows Page 11 1. The parents of a four old boy with learning and behavioural difficulties asked for help and the Hackers have cleared and levelled part of the garden and built a trampoline which has enabled the child to use the garden which was considered unsafe 2. The Hackers cleared a garden that had not been touched for 16 years. With the help of other volunteers the garden was cleared and allowed the family to have access to the garden 3.On the first Tuesday of the month the Hackers will work on the community gardens in Twerton and litter pick on the high street 4. The Hackers regularly attend a children's nursery (first steps) that is a charity and help clear the borders and help create areas where preschool children can grow vegetables The aim of the Gardening Group is to help those in need and who are feeling overwhelmed with an overgrown garden. It is hoped that these actions reflect the love of God that can be seen in the life and death and resurrection of Jesus. - Nathan Gale, Lighthouse Leader ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The financial year for St Michael's is the calendar year, from January to December. Overall income for the year 2022 was approximately £178k, an slight decrease of £3,000 on last year. The overall expenditure for the year was approximately £177k indicates a higher level of spending from the 2021 total of £146k. Therefore, in 2021 we oversaw a small surplus of £800, compared to a surplus of £35,000 last year. At the end of 2022, the financial assets of St Michaels total £242k comprising £136k in endowment funds, and £107k in cash reserves. Of these cash reserves, approximately £54k 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. This year has seen an incredible amount of financial pressure, with interest rates rising and the energy crisis still ongoing. It's therefore all the more a testament to God's goodness to see the giving within our church family just continue to rise. Thank you to everyone who is either a regular giver or has ever donated to St Michael’s. The PCC agreed a budget last year with a greater focus on spending. As we had received such a great surplus the last two years, we felt that now was the time to invest that into some of our projects. We invested in initial investigations for how to transform the upstairs of Rose Cottage into a small missional community house. There are also plans for repairs to the church building based on recommendations from the previous Quinquennial and to work to improve the energy efficiency of our Church building to support the Church of England’s plan to be net zero by 2030. 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 did not try to recruit for this role in 2022, as we have been waiting to see what the Marlbrook team relationship looks like. Both churches have a desire for a youth and children’s worker and both have some reserves set aside for that purpose. All the money donated in 2020 has been kept as restricted to Youth work, and we have over £5,000 reserved to support this. 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 2022, in addition to increasing regular giving to the charities we donate to every month (Bridgemead, Youth for Christ, Southside, Ripple Effect, Genesis Trust, Mercy in Action, Church Ministry among Jewish people and Open Doors, for Christians in Nigeria) we made one-off donations to the following causes: - The Life Project - The Nest Project Page 12 - Bath Food Bank - Barnabas Aid, focussed on Christian flood victims in Pakistan - Church Ministry among Jewish people, Mercy fund - Ripple Effect ## **PCC Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements** The PCC is responsible for all parish finance, its management and control, including the appointment of a treasurer. While it may delegate some of its duties, this does not remove its legal responsibilities. Charity law requires the PCC as trustees of the Church to prepare an annual report and financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the Church's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. The PCC is also required to ensure that these are subjected to an annual independent examination or audit and to present these to the APCM in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. In preparing these financial statements, the PCC is required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Church and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and applicable accounting standards. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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 2022. 3. 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._ The PCC benefits from four endowment funds: • Vernon Terrace: capital sum on £51,000 with the income and gains from this being deposited early each year into the Associated Minister restricted fund, retaining the original capital sum. • St Peter’s Sunday School and Parish Room charity (number 264498) comprises two investment funds, with Black Rock and M&G investments. In 1988 the PCC used capital from this fund to refurbish the Rec House. Recoupment of this is over a 60-year period and is partly met by annual reinvestment from St Michael’s of £450-£172.75 to Black Rock and £277.75 to M&G. Black Rock provides solely capital growth whilst M&G also provide quarterly dividends. The purpose of the charity is to support the “church hall” and so all receipts and payments relate to the Lightouse (formerly called Rec House) restricted fund . - Twerton on Avon SS Trust: investment with CCLA with dividends paid quarterly, for general funds. 4. Balance of Agency funds at year end, payable to Diocesan Wedding/Funeral Fees. ## **5.

The **of trustees and examiner** charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not 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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** 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 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 2022. 3. 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._ The PCC benefits from four endowment funds: • Vernon Terrace: capital sum on £51,000 with the income and gains from this being deposited early each year into the Associated Minister restricted fund, retaining the original capital sum. • St Peter’s Sunday School and Parish Room charity (number 264498) comprises two investment funds, with Black Rock and M&G investments. In 1988 the PCC used capital from this fund to refurbish the Rec House. Recoupment of this is over a 60-year period and is partly met by annual reinvestment from St Michael’s of £450-£172.75 to Black Rock and £277.75 to M&G. Black Rock provides solely capital growth whilst M&G also provide quarterly dividends. The purpose of the charity is to support the “church hall” and so all receipts and payments relate to the Lightouse (formerly called Rec House) restricted fund . - Twerton on Avon SS Trust: investment with CCLA with dividends paid quarterly, for general funds. 4. Balance of Agency funds at year end, payable to Diocesan Wedding/Funeral Fees. ## **5.
