Public Benefit Statement (Mandatory information)

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Brewood it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

• Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and

• Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
relationship with any related parties;
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them; (Put your Risk Assessment Policy here)

In June 2022 the vicar retired and since that date the churchwardens have taken on the general running of the church supported by the ministry team and PCC.

PCC Members (Trustees) are appointed by election at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) which is held each year, prior to the end of April. Members of the church Electoral Roll TAR 8 December 2022

December 2022

are entitled to be nominated, seconded, and voted into office by those at the meeting, who must also be Electoral Roll members. PCC members are normally elected to serve for a three-year term and can then stand for office again for a further three years. They must then stand down for a year before standing for re-election.

The Treasury team handles all matters of finance and donations, including gift-aid claims on behalf of the churchwardens and PCC. The treasury team is elected annually to this role by vote taken at the first PCC meeting following the APCM.

The Fabric Sub-Committee consists of both churchwardens, members of the Treasury Team, and one or more designated PCC members.

The Mission Sub-Committee is primarily part of the Staff Team which consists of the vicar, the assistant minister, the schools and children’s minister and the licensed lay ministers, and meets monthly, beginning with Morning Prayer, partly to develop the Mission Action Plan (MAP) which describes and informs the growth, in numbers and spirituality, of the parish.

The Standing Committee consists of the Vicar, churchwardens, PCC Secretary and treasurer. It meets as needed to consider and act on urgent matters between PCC meetings.

We have a strong relationship with our neighbouring parish church of St John the Evangelist, Bishops Wood. We share our vicar and leadership team with them, and our churchwardens and finance team have close relations, acting in concert when required.

We also have a close liaison with the two other Brewood church fellowships, which are Brewood Methodist Church, and St Mary’s RC Church. A committee with representatives from all four churches meets several times each year, and organises joint events, often coinciding with major church festival dates.

We have a good relationship with a number of local schools. St Mary and St Chad First School and Brewood Middle School are both church schools and are located near to the church; both frequently bring children to church for whole-school services, and members of our church team visit both schools regularly to conduct assemblies, etc. St Dominic’s School, also in the village, is an independent school with similar close links to our church.

Risk management is actively and regularly reviewed by the Vicar and churchwardens. A Safeguarding Officer is appointed, and a Safeguarding Policy is in place. We have employed one of our parishioners who is a retired Health and Safety professional, to carry out H & S risk assessments of church premises, and his recommendations have been implemented or are being actively considered. Annual safety checks are carried out on the church and church hall gas systems, lightning conductor system, portable electrical appliances and security alarm system.

The church and church hall are fully insured via the standard polices of Ecclesiastical Insurance Company, and these policies include Public Liability cover and Employers Liability cover. We have held recent meeting with EIC staff and have taken advice from them to minimised insured risks.

Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Brewood. The PCC maintains an overview of worship

TAR

December 2022

throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers;

The PCC does not have a policy on grant making.

Investments beyond our bank current accounts are held in CCLA funds.

We have one salaried employee, our Childrens Minister.

Most tasks, administrative and practical are carried out by volunteers who are members of the worshipping congregation. Tasks which are beyond the scope or abilities of our members are carried out by professionals on an invoiceable basis.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Every Sunday we hold a main service at 10am which is normally a Holy Communion service using modern liturgy, but which can also be a Family service (Wide Open Worship) or a ‘Morning Worship’ which does not include an act of Holy Communion. On the first Sunday of the month this is the only service that day. On other Sundays, there is also a said Holy Communion service at 8.30am using traditional BCP liturgy. On one Sunday each month we hold a Messy Church.

The average Sunday attendance during 2022 was 78 including those under 16. There were 8 baptisms, 14 weddings and 14 funerals. There were also 11 burial of ashes and 1 memorial service during the year. The average attendance of the midweek communion was 15.

We hold a service of Holy Communion on alternate Wednesday mornings. Authorised volunteers take Holy Communion to the housebound on request.

We have a policy of offering infant and adult baptism which can be at one of our main services or at a separate time to suit family wishes.

It is the church’s policy to offer wedding or marriage blessing services to those who request it, and wedding couples are expected to qualify through residence in the parish or through regular church attendance prior to the ceremony.

TAR

December 2022

It is the policy of the church to offer funerals or services of remembrance or celebration of a life, when requested. Burial in the churchyard is only available to those who qualify by residence in the parish, or by recent residence in the parish where the reason for leaving the parish was to move to a care home. Faculties for reservation of burial plots are not allowed. Our staff team also officiate at services in local crematoria or other local churches when requested. Pastoral help will be offered to all bereaved families as needed.

Ecumenical events have been re-established this year. Such activities are organised under the ‘umbrella’ of the 4-church ecumenical group mentioned in section B.

Also mentioned in section B is the work that takes place with three of the village’s four schools (the exception is St Mary’s RC School which mainly liaises with their own adjacent church). We are actively seeking to build closer links with our schools.

Brewood has an active branch of the Royal British Legion, and a Remembrance Parade and Service is held every year in November, with close Legion support.

Our local Parish Council holds a Civic Service annually, located in one or other of our local churches on a rotating basis, and our church plays an active part.

We work closely with our local Scouts and associated uniformed young peoples’ organisations. In recent years we have held joint events with them, including garden parties and church services.

A monthly ‘Church Sunday Lunch’ takes place regularly in one of the local restaurants, and this is a well-supported activity for those who would otherwise eat alone.

Section D Achievements and performance (contd.) During the year we have been working actively to further our objectives. These will fall into the three new categories being promoted by the Diocese, which are as follows:

1 Discipleship Summary of the main objectives of the charity 2 Vocation planned in the following 3 Evangelism year

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The church’s ordinary income in 2023 was approx. £77k. £53k of this was from voluntary giving by church members (£48k was from regular giving). £11k was from Gift Aid reclaimed from HMRC, £9k from wedding and funeral statutory fees. Additionally, we received £259k in legacies during the year, and this was invested in CCLA funds.
Our largest item of expenditure was £48.7k paid directly to Lichfield Diocese to provide us with a priest and a house for him to live in. The remainder of our expenditure pays for the costs of maintaining our building, heating, lighting, insurance and phone costs.
Our bankers are the Cooperative Bank, and they have an ethical investment policy which we support. Our investment policy presently is to maintain any funds up to £50k on an ‘instant access’ basis, and to invest any balance in CCLI funds with the advice of our Diocese Finance Department. Our Cooperative Bank balance at year end was £116. We had £249k invested in CCLA funds.
