Trustees Annual Report for the year 2022

Aims and Purposes

All Saints’ Ascot Heath PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Fr Darrell, 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 All Saints’ Church, All Saints’ Hall, the Chapel of SS Mary and John, King Edward’s Hall and the clergy accommodation at The Parsonage in King Edward’s Road.

The PCC is required by law to produce an annual report of its activities together with a financial statement identifying how the activities of the parish have been funded.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and chapel and to become part of our parish community at All Saints’. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and, in particular, with the Ministry Team we try to enable the congregation to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

Risk Management

The PCC regularly reviews any major risks encountered by the church and takes appropriate action to manage and minimise those risks in accordance with best practice.

Review of Financial Activities and Affairs 2022

In 2022, All Saints’ Ascot income and expenditure both fell compared with 2021. There was a net operating loss of £2,586 but, when adjusted for the loss on our investments, there was a total deficit of £9,227.

Income

In 2022, total income was £170,242, compared with £178,681 in 2021. The principal reason for the decrease was the reduction in regular donations as some significant contributors have moved away from the parish. However, there was a generous response to the Rector’s appeal for additional funds for the Discretionary Fund.

Expenditure

Total expenditure in 2022 was £172,828 compared to £186,519 in 2021. Capital expenditure in 2021 included significant investments in the camera system and solar panels which are reflected in the increased tangible assets of the church.

The invasion of Ukraine resulted in a substantial rise in energy prices which increased our costs when the new gas and electric contracts started in October 2022. The full impact on our finances will not be felt until 2023.

Reserves

Net reserves amount to £818,086 and is analysed across funds in Note 13 to the accounts. Of these reserves, £26,541 was held in the TSB Bank current account and £114,018 in the CCLA deposit account.

Reserves Policy

In 2022 the PCC agreed to maintain at least six months’ average expenditure in unrestricted reserves. This currently amounts to around £92,000 based on the budgeted running costs for 2023 so the reserves are just below the target.

Rector’s Discretionary Fund

The Rector holds unrestricted funds identified to be used at his discretion to help people in need of support. At the end of 2022, the allocated fund was £9,598. As a result of the rapid rise in the cost of living during 2022, an appeal was made for additional funds to increase the total available for people in need. During 2022, 20 grants were made totalling £3,400.

Other creditors

The PCC holds money in its main account for The Friends of All Saints (£2,643 at 31 December 2022). This is recorded on the balance sheet within Creditors. The Friends exists to allow former members of All Saints and others to keep in touch and continue to support the aims and mission of the church.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC 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. At All Saints’ Ascot Heath the membership of the PCC consists of the Rector, the Curate, Churchwarden(s) and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll of the church. 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.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.

The full PCC met six times during the year via Zoom.
