**ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Annual Report for the Year ended 31 December 2021**
## **Aim and purposes**
The Parochial Church Council (PCC ) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Steve Burmester, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings and equipment and for employing staff.
## **Objectives and activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship and to become part of our parish community at St Chad’s.
Our vision is **Knowing Christ and making Him known** .
The values that help us to work towards the vision of being **Authentic, Bible-based and Spirit filled, Community-focused, Disciple-making, of and for Every Generation.**
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus
- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, we also consider it important that we maintain the fabric of the church and halls at St Chad’s.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The PCC has set out its aims in the objectives above. Achievements in these areas can be broken down into the three areas mentioned:
## 1. Worship & Prayer.
Throughout 2021 lockdown restrictions from the Pandemic have varied and this has led to a varied form of worship throughout the year. Whilst the country was in lockdown during the year the vicar was able to run weekly Sunday services from the church building using the video and sound equipment that had been installed at the end of 2020. This meant that services were able to be broadcast on YouTube for live viewing and the majority of the congregation were able to participate in some form of worship by this means.
As restrictions eased we resumed our Wednesday and Sunday services with a limited number of in-building attendees and a great number watching online through YouTube. This has continued throughout the year with an increasing number of people attending in the building.
We have been able to do baptisms, weddings and funerals in a similar fashion.
In addition to this we continued a weekly prayer meeting on a Tuesday evening via Zoom which has been maintained throughout the pandemic.

## 2. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish
The Pastoral Care of individuals in church has remained a high priority to the church family, especially during the Covid-19 crisis. The pastoral care team have met monthly using zoom and have ensured that people have been contacted regularly by telephone and that their practical needs as well as their spiritual and emotional needs have been met as far as possible.
The PCC and church have continued to work closely with two local charities. Pure Innovations who are based in Stockport are a charity that works with adults with learning difficulties in the workplace. Through their partnership with us in Café Aroma we’ve established a very successful community café which is used extensively by local people from the community. When the Covid-19 pandemic closed the café we were still able to allow the charity to use the premises (when restrictions were lifted in the summer) to meet with their clients and do baking and use the facilities without the café being open. As restrictions eased in the late summer of 2021 the café was reopened for 2 days a week which proved very popular. When the Omicron variant was identified the decision was taken to close again for the safety of our parishoners.
At the beginning of 2019 together with 2 other local churches, Vinelife Wilmslow and St John’s Knutsford established a new charity with the charities commission called ‘Hope Central’. When the Covid-19 crises began some of the work of the charity had to cease. It’s Hope Centre drop in mornings couldn’t continue and the job club had to close. However, the food bank became a major work in the local community, and in 2021 the decision was taken by the PCC to house this work permanently in the church buildings of St Chads. In addition to this work many other ministries were established through Hope Central in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP), a national Christian Charity. These ministries include a Job Club, Money Management course, Debt Counselling Centre and Freedom from life-controlling addictions course.
## 3. Missionary & Outreach Work
Our established missionary and outreach work continued as it did last year and is outlined below. However, in the summer of 2021 we were informed of 100+ asylum seekers being temporarily housed in our parish at a local hotel. These Asylum seekers are single adult men from the Middle East. In liaison with Serco we have established an outreach ministry to many of the asylum seekers who are housed there. This has included offering hospitality events, TEFL (English) classes, Sunday lunches and Alpha courses. A good number (15-20) Iranian Christians have been regularly attending our Sunday and midweek services and we were able to Baptise 4 of them in December 2021
Much of the regular outreach work in the community has continued to be through families and school’s work. In 2021 we continued our work in the schools by the vicar’s appointment to become Chair of the Handforth Grange governing body in Sept 2018.
When the Covid-19 crisis started in March 2020 this brought an end to in buildings schools work, but we were able to do some on-line assemblies via Microsoft Teams and run some Harvest services for the local schools. Handforth Grange school were able to come into St Chad’s for their Christingle Service this year.
With a tenuous end to the worst of the pandemic, over 1500 people attended our Remembrance day service, held outdoors at the war memorial and a similar number at our “Carols in the Paddock” service on Christmas Eve.

## **ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Annual Report for the Year ended 31 December 2021**
We have continued a strong support for home and international Missionary work and were able to interview people via zoom to inform our church family of the work of the mission groups that we support.
A full list of the organisations we support financially is shown in note 3 to the financial statements.
In spite of the severe restrictions to our weekly work that the pandemic has brought, the PCC is very grateful for all the hard work of many church members throughout the year in a variety of ways –cafe, resource teams, homegroup leaders, pastoral care, sides persons, musicians and technical support, cleaners and church office administration. Many have quietly and faithfully served in the life and witness of God’s church here in ways, which are not mentioned. But it is important to mention our wardens, Rob Moore & Sue Sanders, and our treasurer, Chris Birch, who have served willingly throughout the year. So, thank you to everyone who has served at St Chad’s this year.
## **Financial Review**
There was an overall financial surplus for the year of £7,557 (2020: deficit of £57,330). The large deficit in 2020 was mainly as a result of the amount spent on the refurbishment of the property at Pickmere Road totaling £53,000.
Reserves at the end of the year amounted to £463,047, of which £340,000 relates to the property at Pickmere Road.
## **Reserves Policy**
It is the PCC policy to maintain a balance on the unrestricted funds, to ensure that there are sufficient funds to maintain the current level of non-discretionary expenditure for at least 2 months and to provide for future maintenance and development to the church and other property. It is the policy of the PCC to invest funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.
PCC meetings were held during the year, they met monthly on Zoom for short update meetings.
In 2021, with its unique circumstances the PCC chose 2 specific aims to focus on growth. These were:
1. To ensure that the worshipping life of the church is maintained throughout the pandemic and contact is kept with people, and missionary outreach.
2. To continue and build up the work of Hope Central in terms of its food bank, jobs club and debt counselling as much as possible. And when possible to open up drop in centres.

## **ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Annual Report for the Year ended 31 December 2021**
Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of sub-committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, Mission, Pastoral, Worship, Resources and Children and Young People, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. During the lockdown the Mission and Resources committees have met. Worship, Pastoral, Children and Youth discussions were handled by the full PCC.

## **ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value except for freehold land and buildings, which are shown at their valuation. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
## **Going concern**
After reviewing the forecasts and projections of the PCC trustees have a reasonable expectation that there are adequate funds to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **Funds**
Restricted funds represent income from donations received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.
## **Incoming recognition**
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income to which it relates is recognised. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement to the amount due. Rental income from the letting of the church rooms is recognised when the rent is due. Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
## **Expenditure recognition**
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or awarded, if that creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
## **Volunteers**
The church benefits greatly from the involvement and support of its volunteers, details are given in the annual report. In accordance with SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the financial statements.
## **Fixed Assets**
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.10 of the Charities Act 2011. The PCC consider that the church halls, built on church property and integrated into the church buildings, have no separate commercial value.
7
## **ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021**
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). No value is therefore attributed to this property. All expenditure incurred on consecrated or benefice property, church halls or moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement is written off in the Statement of Financial Activities. Other equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight- line basis over 2 to 5 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
## **Current asset investments**
This is cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year.

The freehold land and buildings consists of a curates house at Pickmere Road, Handforth, which was revalued in February 2021 by Jordan Fishwick at £340,000.
It is considered that the estimated residual value of the land and buildings is not lower than the above value and hence depreciation would be immaterial.

## **ST CHAD’S HANDFORTH PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT For the year ended 31 December 2021**
I report to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) on my examination of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, set out on pages 5 to 13.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As PCC trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the PCC financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the PCC as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
