Emeritus (co-opted|onto PCC)|Dilys Smith| 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 eight 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 met once 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. We did not meet this year. ## **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-INOUT. 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) ## _Lighthouse Ministry_ Page 4 - Lighthouse Café at Rose Cottage (opens Tuesday, Wednesday and re-introduced Thursday opening hours toward the end of 2023) - Lighthouse Chaplaincy at St Michael’s Junior School (Gwen Kearley works 3 days a week in school) - Food Bank distribution run by a team of volunteers from St Michael’s church & Genesis. This operates Tuesdays & Thursdays at the Lighthouse Centre - The Warm Space initiative launched in 2022 to meet the needs of those battling the food and energy crisis, transitioned in April 2023 to an all-year-round community meal project called ‘Come to the Table’ facilitated by a coordinator (Lauren Cattle) funded by a grant from Quartet. (See detailed reports from Lighthouse Ministry Staff 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 _73_ names on the electoral role, compared to _68_ names in May 2023. 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. Page 5 ## **Rector’s Report** 2023 has been a year of consolidation, contending and challenge in the life of St Michaels and the wider Marlbrook benefice. ## Consolidation Both PCCs in the Marlbrook Team renewed their commitment in 2022 to revitalising a shared ministry vision and this included the sharing of staff team and mutual support, including the administrative staff focusing their support toward the roles of warden and treasurer. During the last year we have adapted to a new way of working and it has led to the mutual flourishing of both churches as well as relieving the pressure upon our church wardens and treasurer allowing these key roles to feel more manageable. This year we were able to invest some funds in communicating this renewed vision in our online platforms and building signage. We developed a new Marlbrook brand, a new shared website and new signs at all of our buildings displaying to the community that we have entered a new chapter with a fresh vision for transformation. All three missional communities continue to bare fruit with new people joining and reaching out to those on the margins, provide places of belonging and enable an approach to discipleship that encourages all involved to engage in disciple-making. Two huddles of leaders met regularly to provide support and accountability for lay leadership. One, called the Garden Huddle, served the established leaders in mission & ministry and the other, Greenhouse Huddle, provided a context for praying and sharing missional ideas. During the Autumn both huddles were invited to join an online course run by a church in Bradford called ‘Introduction to Disciple-Making Movements’. It offered spiritual formation principles, a missional toolkit and a framework for disciple-making. The relationship between Lighthouse projects and other mission and ministry continues to strengthen and is far more undergirded by prayer with a significant increase in corporate prayer throughout the week. With a focus on being prepared for revival during the Autumn, we began the term with a week of prayer & fasting, the launch of a monthly ‘Revival Ready’ prayer meeting and a new catechesis course called ‘Firm Foundations’ offering monthly sessions for seekers to explore the foundations of the Christian Faith through a question & answer format. In July, we welcomed the arrival of Revd Ben Notley as Curate. Despite having to battle medical challenges, he quickly settled into life in the benefice and made a positive impact on both the churches and those in the wider community. In the short time he was with us he managed to gain experience in a range of ministry settings and served the churches with uplifting preaching and pastoral care, particularly nurturing those facing difficult personal challenges. Having Ben around did help to minimise the impact of the deanery plan and the pastoral reorganisation upon Marlbrook, but conversations continue with regards to how the deanery commit long-term to supporting ministry in Magnificat parishes. With a plan yet to be firmly agreed, and proposals on the table relating to the retention of Ascension Vicarage for ministry purposes, we placed on pause both the Lee Abbey Small Missional Community project and the recruitment of a youth & children’s worker. Contending When I arrived four and half years ago, I was informed there was a temporary faculty that had been used to remove the pews from the church. This had since lapsed and required a review and submission Page 6 of a permanent faculty. However, following an attempted application it came to light that the pews that had been stored with Bath Abbey’s pews had mysteriously been disposed of without our knowledge when the Abbey sold their pews. This meant that it would be very difficult for the Chancellor to insist that the St Michael’s pews be re-instated. Therefore, an investigation along with a re-submission for a permanent faculty for the removal and disposal of said pews was submitted at the end of 2023. We posted notices offering local residents the opportunity to register their objections and historic preservation societies were also consulted. Following an extension of this notice period at the request of Historic England and the Victorian Society, we await the Chancellor’s final decision and will continue to contend for ministry to remain at the centre of decision making as well as requesting those who are responsible for the mistakes be held to account. This has to be dealt with carefully however, due to the informal nature of the arrangement that had been made with regards to the storage of our pews and the lack of proper monitoring in the intervening years. Another area in which some felt compelled to contend related to the decision by the House of Bishops in February 2023 to commend prayers of blessing for same-sex couples and revise the guidance for clergy in same sex partnerships. This has caused significant division both within the Church of England and across the global Anglican communion. The Marlbrook clergy felt extremely concerned by the decision to introduce liturgy and practices that appear contrary to the Church’s own doctrine and made their concerns known to both churches and senior leadership in the Diocese. With the Bishops apparent support for such reforms, the PCC voted to support the clergy in contending publicly taking the difficult decision to pause their parish share contributions to the diocese and reviewing their partnerships during 2023. Allocated share contributions have been kept in a restricted fund ready to be released to the diocese as and when the PCC decides to resume payments again. However, due to the deficits in our own financial accounts we may need to review this decision to continue holding parish share contributions, which are a voluntary gift, in ‘restricted funds’ and consider moving them to a ‘designated fund’ in order to allow greater flexibility going forwards. ## Challenge Despite efforts by a few parishes in the diocese and many more across the country warning Bishops not to proceed down the route they have taken on LLF, the marginal support from General Synod for their proposals means that the trajectory has been set and Prayers of Love & Faith were formally commended for use in December 2023. This left clergy like myself feeling isolated from the institution to which I had sworn oaths of allegiance. I had the difficult choice of whether I continue to submit to the authority of Bishops who would no longer defend the doctrine of marriage or whether I have to make the difficult decision to resign? One way that Bishops could enable clergy to resolve this problem would be to offer alternative episcopal oversight (invite and extend authority to a Bishop who holds to orthodox teaching) for those who don’t feel able to submit to their diocesan Bishop. However, this was not something Bishop Michael was willing to consider here in Bath & Wells and, therefore, I had to make the hard decision to inform the Bishop and the churches that I would be resigning in 2024 ending five years of fruitful ministry. One of the unfortunate consequences of this decision was that the Curate’s placement would need to change and so Marlbrook would have to prepare for two members of clergy leaving in quick succession. This was unavoidable but was discussed and discerned early on in the process to allow Ben the time to explore the implications and come to terms with the inevitable transition. Whilst 2023 again saw new people joining the church, there were also some who found that they could not remain in membership following the decisions taken by the PCC to support the clergy in contending for orthodoxy. With increasing ministry demands, additional staff and cost of living, income has not kept up with expenditure this year and we face a significant monthly deficit. We are also facing some Page 7 very significant capital projects following the Quinquennial inspection identifying various significant repairs needed on the church building. There will be some difficult decisions ahead for the PCC as they consider how to respond to and resolve these financial challenges in the midst of a vacancy. Please pray and consider how you might play your part in this season ahead to support continued ministry in Marlbrook and serving the local community in Twerton. ## Thank you Thank you to everyone who has given sacrificially with time, energy and financial support this year. 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. We also thank Tom Riley, who gallantly offered to support the PCC as co-opted treasurer this year and although lacking confidence in this role has helped to provide some stability in what has been a difficult year. 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 continue to place additional demands upon our limited finances and fragile historic buildings. Finally, thank you to all of you for your prayer, support and, at times, hard questions and challenge that have helped Catherine and I to lead you as well as we could with the Lord’s help through some choppy waters. We continue to pray for you and cheer you on in your commission to be disciple-makers in the places and the people to which you have been called. - _Richard White (Team Rector)_ ## **Deanery Synod Report 2023** - _Verbal Report given by Rachel Hicks & Scott Wheatley_ Following a period of consultation with implicated PCCs the following proposals were voted through November’s Deanery Synod. Bath Deanery Synod recommend to Bishop Michael that: 1. When the Incumbency of Freshford, Limpley Stoke and Hinton Charterhouse falls vacant, the next Incumbent be a House for Duty. 2. When there is a vacancy for an Incumbent in the Bath Abbey with St Michael's Without Group Ministry (apart from Abbey Rector), that the vacancy is not filled until a review is carried out for the DMPG with the 2 PCC's, to enable the Group Ministry to transition from 4 stipendiary incumbents to 3. 3. A pioneering Incumbent be appointed to the benefice of St Barnabas, Southdown. 4. The Marlbrook Team be dissolved and a benefice of St Michael's Twerton with Ascension Oldfield Park be created under 1 full-time Incumbent. 5. The Diocese be asked to support an application to use Ascension Vicarage for a new missional community house. And that: 6. The Area Dean and Lay Dean continue to help Incumbents identify partnerships benefices to offer more shared leadership and support. 7. The DMPG identify additional people and resources for the Magnificat parish of St Michael's Twerton. Page 8 These proposals did not take into account the feedback provided by the Marlbrook Team Council and after enquiring the following response was given by the Area Dean: _We decided that as the proposals are ‘guidance’ to inform the Bishop in his decision making, and as the feedback was very mixed in its form and extent, that we would give the result of the vote to the Bishop and offer the feedback as additional information._ _There is clearly a lot more work for the DMPG to do, not least in the light of current and forthcoming vacancies. We had a short discussion on your proposal for more resources for Twerton but need more information and further consideration, that’s more for us for 2024, and a steep learning curve for the new DMPG. (Email from Revd Stephen Girling 21.11.23)_ - Deanery Synod Reps & Rector ## **Staff Reports** ## _**Lighthouse Ministry Report**_ 2023 has been a hard year for all and because of this Lighthouse Ministry has seen an increase in demand for support. This has taken many forms from supplying food to advice and help with work and or benefits. I will break down what each of our Lighthouse Ministry 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 they 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 and pay forward. This has had a great reception and been very positive for the customers that need to use it and the ones who like to provide for it. The uptake has not been as big as I thought it would be and I am not entirely sure why but it is on offer and we are making folk aware. We have expanded our opening hours with an extra 2 days. This includes Thursday cafe opening and then on Mondays we launched a thrift shop cafe. We have also improved our coffee offer to the public signing a contract with _Rijo_ coffee. They have supplied us with a new coffee machine which will enable us to provide much better quality and a greater variety of coffee as well as hot chocolate. 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 have seen a bit of growth with the inter church prayer meeting on a Tuesday morning at 8:30am. We have regulars from Genesis and Mercy in Action all doing stuff on our high street. The most recent innovation has been the thrift shop cafe launched in February of this year. After the charity shop closed Rachel, who ran it, came over and started volunteering for us and as time went by I felt she was ready to take on some more responsibility. So she will be running the day. We are selling clothes and other soft stuff in a jumble sale style whilst selling cakes and coffee to customers. All proceeds go toward the Lighthouse Ministry. Page 9 ## _**Lighthouse Centre**_ We continue to house the food bank which can be accessed on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. 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 Project. Again, Nest is a long term partnership which we are continuing to build on. We have Bath College holding adult learning and cookery courses. As it stands there is only one vacant slot on a Monday at the moment so I am really pleased to be finally seeing the vision of our doors open every day in both centres becoming a reality. ## _**Come to the Table (formally Warm Space)**_ In November 2022 we started running a Warm Space, aiming to reduce the cost of living for people in Twerton. Our customers were able to access a warm environment, with kind and friendly volunteers to enjoy delicious hot meal. As time progressed and spring came, it became apparent that everyone who used the warm space was not only benefiting from a free meal, but also the sense of community and friendship it harboured. So, we decided to continue to run throughout the summer and transition into a community meal called ‘Come To The Table’. We focused less on giving away as many free meals as possible, and more on developing relationships and supporting people whilst being generous with food and company. We aimed to make the atmosphere like a positive family dinner table, where all were welcome, and that is what it has become. The customers and volunteers rely on this social interaction each week and the overall kindness shared, people chat, play games together, and some occasionally bring their guitars and have a sing along. Throughout the time we have been running, we have benefitted from grant funding allowing us to distribute over 2’500 meals and it has become a highlight in many peoples week. The project will draw to a close at the end of March 2024. ## _**Chaplaincy at St Michaels**_ Looking back over the past year it's good to be able to share some highlights from a Chaplaincy perspective at St Michael's Junior Church School - in no particular order: - Strong links have been re-established at Cleeve Court Dementia Care Home this year with children from Years 4/5&6 visiting regularly. The children have grown in confidence as they have made friends at the Home , and I've given support to some when they learned about the death of one of their much loved residents. - Prepare weekly / termly plans for Collective Worship in school and help to lead on a weekly basis. - Richard and Nathan have continued to visit the school to lead Worships on a Wednesday. - On going work with the Chaplaincy Crew - a group of 12 children from Years 4/5 who help to lead and input ideas into the Worships. - The school have visited St Michael's Church for their Christmas Service and for the first time in a few years parents were able to join us. - Lunchtime BIF Club (Bible is Fun) continues to meet on a Monday lunchtime, currently for an enthusiastic group of Year 4 children. - Richard, Rachel and Gwen continue to help support the school in preparing for the SIAMS inspection, due this academic year. - Continued links with Bristol Children's Help Society who run Barton Camp for children - contact with parents to enable children to attend a half-term camp. Page 10 - Planned and ran a Prayer Space for the school - an opportunity for children and staff to spending a time giving 'Thanks' whilst engaging in a variety of creative activities. Feedback from this was positive - the children have commented since how much they enjoyed the activities! - Lunchtime 'open space' in the Chaplaincy room to support those children who need some quiet time with Lego, jigsaws and drawing. - Send out a weekly 'Prayer for the Week' to all staff of the school. - Meet on a Thursday morning to pray for the school with Nicky Grizzell. - Serve 'Hot chocolate & biscuits' each week to those who pay their 50p, which helps to build up funs for charity giving /special events in school. - Initiate a Lent Challenge for the school - with the aim of helping to keep the cross at the centre of the Easter story. - Supported children from the school as they prayed in the recent 850[th ] Celebrations at the Abbey for the St John's Foundation. - Opportunities to get alongside staff - to listen, encourage, supporting practically and through prayer. It continues to be a privilege to be in the school each week as a practical expression of my faith and the Churches' commitment to bless the school community. ## _**The lighthouse garden team (Twerton hackers)**_ The Lighthouse gardening group continued this year working in the gardens and sometimes the homes of people in need of help and unable to undertake the work themselves or need help to get started. The group consists of four men who are retired with various DIY and gardening skills. They have occasional help from other folk, men and women who are able to assist. Most of the work is undertaken in the Twerton Parish but we have travelled further afield to assist. We refer to ourselves as the ‘Twerton Hackers.’ We meet on Tuesday mornings We always start at Rose Cottage with a coffee and then spend a couple of hours working. It is enjoyable for us to work together see great progress and make a difference in people homes and lives. We have been referred work from Mercy in Action, social services and individuals. Examples of our work are as follows 1. We continue litter pick on the high street and work on the community garden in Hanna Close 2. The hackers helped a single mum with mental health difficulties with her garden, overrun with brambles and painted her 10 year old daughters bedroom walls that had been stained with damp 3. We cleared a large growth of Ivy that had covered an elderly ladies house and was causing her great distress. This required several trips to the recycling centre 4. We have continued to help the local nursery and this year we will be helping the staff create safe area in St Michael school for the children to grow and hopefully eat herbs and vegetables The aim of the hackers continues to be to glorify God as we help those struggling to cope with their gardens. We are continuing to make Lighthouse Ministries a model of refuge and rescue, wanting to see all our buildings with doors open offering some sort of support and love from the Marlbrook family or close partners. We want to be more than practical help which is why we are gospel driven to see lives transformed. - Nathan Gale, Lighthouse Leader Page 11 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** - _Verbal Report given by Tom Riley (Treasurer)_ ## **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 Page 13 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. PCC twerton is negetive at year end but already postive as we were too late in moving funds from the cottage café ## **Fund by movement type** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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 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. **Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my **examiner's** attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: **statement** ● accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or ● the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 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. **Signed:** Colin M Goater **Date:** 14th March 2024 **Name:** Colin Michael Goater **Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** 102 Freeview Road **December 2024** **IER** Page 17 ## BATH BA2 1DZ ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . **December 2024** **IER** Page 18 **----- Start of picture text -----**

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. PCC twerton is negetive at year end but already postive as we were too late in moving funds from the cottage café ## **Fund by movement type** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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 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. **Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my **examiner's** attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: **statement** ● accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or ● the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 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. **Signed:** Colin M Goater **Date:** 14th March 2024 **Name:** Colin Michael Goater **Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** 102 Freeview Road **December 2024** **IER** Page 17 ## BATH BA2 1DZ ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . **December 2024** **IER** Page 18
