The PCC presents its report with the Accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Principal Activities and Governing Documents
The principal activity in the year under review was that of a Parochial Church Council to a Church of England Parish Church. The Church of England and its parishes are "exempted charities". The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC "is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical".
Objectives and Activities
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 St. Chad’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the diverse and cosmopolitan community that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, and teaching (sermons), music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Regular public worship for all.
-
Provision of sacred space for personal prayer & contemplation.
-
Pastoral work e.g., visiting the sick & bereaved.
-
Teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses, and small groups.
-
Religious schools’ assemblies.
-
Young people’s meetings and activities, and Pre-school with a Christian ethos.
-
Activities for senior citizens, parents & toddlers.
-
Supporting other charities in the UK & overseas
Achievements and performance in the year
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the objectives and activities of St. Chad’s Church have had to adapt significantly in order to respond to the circumstance.
Church and Worship
Our church building was closed at the end of March in line with government guidelines and we moved to online services and blogs. We utilised our church ‘Facebook’ account as well as our website to deliver regular updates of our church’s activity as well as Christian teaching and worship. Over the summer months there was a little respite from the national lockdown requirements, and we were able to open the church building for limited worship. Whilst the church building was opened, we organised an online ‘Booking in’ system, obtained a QR
Page 3

(Charity Registration No: 1150077)
code for our church to enable Track and Trace and redesigned the seating / spaces to adhere to social distancing. We continued to deliver online material for those not attending our church in person.
After a further lockdown we were able to open our church in the new year of 2021 in a greater way. Our Technical Team, under the leadership of Graham Wallis, purchased various items that allowed the development of ‘Streaming’ services. We had already purchased a ‘Zoom’ account to enable meetings to take place. That account was also used for social events such as our church quizzes.
Our regular services and blogs included:
-
Monday -Vicar’s Update: Information about St. Chad’s and what’s happening
-
Tuesday - Curate’s Blog: Christian teaching
-
Thursday - Obi’s Blog: Christian teaching
-
Friday – Vicar’s Blog: Christian teaching
-
Saturday – Family Service: Fun ‘Church’ with craft activities, worship (usually an action song), interactive prayers and story.
-
Sunday – Main Church Service
Church Hall
When the pandemic hit and the government announced the ensuing lockdown, Barking & Dagenham Council (LBBD) asked us to partner with them in the provision of a ‘Community Hub.’ We opened a ‘Foodbank’ in our Royal Room that was headed up by Neil Welsby. Our Children & Young People’s Worker, Belinda Ramsay, and our Children & Families Worker, Ella Cox, (who became partly furloughed as their face-to-face work became greatly reduced) staffed the main Hub which consisted of the Chadwell Ward (around 40,000 residents) of LBBD. They organised a volunteer base of people who, in line with government guidelines, delivered food parcels to residents who were housebound or vulnerable. They also organised the collection and delivery of medicines. Belinda and Ella worked closely with LBBD, collating and dealing with referrals as well as liaising with other local Hubs in the provision of supplies.
Pastoral Support
Ring-around
After the initial ‘shock’ of lockdown it became apparent that the situation was not going to be resolved easily. Our office manager, Pauline Loomes, assisted by Sarah Haler, our administrative Assistant, drew together and coordinated a team of 20 volunteers who had the ability to telephone others. We divided all of the people on our church database who were connected in some way with St. Chad’s and grouped them equally, asking each volunteer to keep in regular contact with the group of people they were allotted. This proved to be an essential piece of work that helped maintain the church family and provide opportunities for help and support to be given to those most in need. It also broke the isolation of those with a lack of family support or who could not keep in contact with others easily. The ‘Ring Around’ continued across the entire pandemic.

(Charity Registration No: 1150077)
Other pastoral work continued through our Home Groups as leaders kept contact with their members.
Social events
In order to not only keep contact with people but also help to strengthen the mental fragility that the lockdown was causing us all we ran a variety of ‘Events’ on Zoom, social media or our website. These include quizzes but also fun ideas such as ‘A view from your window’ where people were encouraged to send in photographs of their ‘View.’ Many were creative and photos came to us from far afield as well as locally. When lockdown was eased, and people were being encouraged to exercise for their own well-being, we had a ‘Chadwell Heath Treasure Hunt’, a quiz where people could walk the perimeter of St. Chad’s Park answering various questions as they went. It was a family orientated activity that took about 40 minutes although individuals enjoyed it too.
Children and families’ work
Through much of the lockdown face-to-face activities ceased. Both Belinda and Ella kept in regular contact with their various cohorts. Belinda held and holds Zoom sessions for the Youth when face-to-face activities are not allowed. She also assisted families with laptops when ‘Home Schooling’ was happening, but the families did not have the resources their children needed. Both Belinda and Ella put together and delivered ‘Craft Packs’ for families. These were tailored to the different age groups but included activities, goodies of some description (sweets /chocolate) colouring sheets, quizzes and bible stories. And Ella regularly kept in contact with families, meeting with them (in rotas at times) in open air venues when that was allowed. Because neither Easter nor Christmas were able to happen in the normal way, Belinda and Ella made an effort to make those festivals special. We had a ‘Walk Around Nativity’ where seven households depicted something of the nativity story in their front gardens or front windows so that people could walk around (with accompanying maps and information) and journey the Christmas story. We also had a ‘Drive in’ nativity in which various families pre-recorded items that were then consolidated into a nativity film. The sound was beamed through a radio station so that families in their cars could listen on the car radios. Again, ‘Goody Bags’ were on offer.
Mission and Evangelism
Despite a reduction in the church’s income in 2020 we continued to support financially our UK and overseas charities.
A significant amount of our mission was through the use of our church hall as the local “hub” (See above).
Pre-School
The pre-school continues to be a large outreach for our church. Our managers are employed by the local council to help and support other Pre-Schools in Barking & Dagenham, assisting in the mentoring of their staff and management. We also continue to be used by the borough for those children with special needs. As always, the work of the Pre-School goes beyond the children and Victoria Burke and her team continue to support parents and carers in many ways.

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. At St. Chad’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens 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 Annual Parochial Church Meeting is usually held every April, however, due to the pandemic it was held on 23 May 2021. At this meeting, the PCC reports on its activities and presents its accounts. Members are then elected to the PCC by those on the Electoral Roll in accordance with the Church Representation Rules.
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. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.

Committees: The PCC has continued to meet over Zoom, albeit on a less regular basis. It has continued to work to strengthen the structures of St. Chad’s Church and its governance to increase our resilience and improve our operation. In relation to the pandemic, this has been especially true in relation to finance.
The following sub-committees exist to assist the PCC:
Finance Team: Our finance team has continued to work to strive for best practice across our ministries, including the implementation of new, robust financial policies, as well as continuing their budgeting requirements in this difficult financial year. To off-set the deficit of income through lack of hall use we obtained grant monies. We also took advantage of the government’s furlough scheme where appropriate. Extra impetus was given to encouraging regular church family members to make their donations through standing orders and this has had some success.
We have undertaken training on the Data Developments Finance Co-ordinator book-keeping system and have been working with our accountant to facilitate the amount of information that is available to the Finance Team. Our thanks to our bookkeeper Priya Balakumar, our Gift Aid secretary Fiona Roy, and to Colin Gilchrist, who joined the Finance Team in 2020.
Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. This group consists of Martin Court (Chair), Christine Harding (Associate Minister) Bob Crowther (Vice Chair and Church Warden) Julie Court, Rosanne Baptiste. The standing committee continued to meet across the year as a WhatsApp group to discuss the changing strategies needed and implemented as the pandemic wore on.
Senior Leadership Team : This team is both an accountability team for the incumbent but also a sounding board for the leader where strategic issues have time to be thought through. The team has no legal power but is instrumental in helping the incumbent to assess and discern where certain aspects/ ministries / logistics of the church are and help to plan towards the collective vision of the church. Members of the team bring experience of Banking, Administration and H.R. management. This team consists of: Martin Court (Senior Leader), Christine Harding (Associate Minister) Julie Court, Bob Crowther (Church Warden and Vice Chair of the PCC) and Rosanne Baptiste.

Leadership Team: This is comprised of the people who head up our ministries and activities in the church and those who hold senior leadership posts, met in small groups, when allowed, to discuss our reaction to the pandemic and begin to formulate a pathway forward. We also had Zoom meetings when lockdown rules were in place.
People on this team include: Martin Court (Senior Leader), Julie Court, Christine Harding (Associate Minister), Bob Crowther (Church Warden), Julian Cartwright (Church Warden), Chika Nduku (Curate), Pauline Loomes (Office Manage/ PCC secretary), Graham Wallis (Head of Tech Team), Victoria Burke (Pre-School Manager), Julie Clist (Head of Welcome Team), Joy Blackwood (Head of Prayer ministry Team ), Ella Cox (Children& Family worker), Belinda Ramsey (Children & Young People’s Worker), Denise Lewis (Catering Manager), Colin Gilchrist, Debbie Karlettis, Iain Torrance, Marian Childs, Anne Foster, Ray Childs, Rosanne Baptiste and Sue Wells.
Deanery Synod: Three members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod —Ingrid Robinson, Carol Welsby and Mark Harding. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. Martin Court is the Area Dean and Chair of the Deanery Synod.
The Electoral Roll: Pauline Loomes is our Electoral Roll Officer. Details with regards to our Electoral Roll can be found in the full APCM Report.
Safeguarding and Training: Belinda Ramsay arranged a variety of training for those working with our Children & Young People which included updated Safeguarding Training. It also included supporting children and families who experienced Special Needs.
Volunteers
There is a considerable amount of work undertaken at St Chad’s by volunteers. Our thanks go to Bob Crowther, our churchwarden, for the support that he has given to the Clergy and the Staff team during 2020. Particular thanks to Julian Cartwright, who had served six years as churchwarden and this year stepped down. He continues to undertake many of the duties that he has previously carried out including, with Alan Harding, a great deal of the running repairs to the church and church buildings.
Financial review
The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church, and which ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993and the regulations issued in 1995 and 2000, revised in 2005. This report has been produced according to guidance dated 2006 issued by the Archbishop's Council of the Church of England. The PCC is 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 PCC is an exempt charity for taxation purposes as a church defined as a place of worship under the Place of Worship Act 1855.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.

-
It is my responsibility to:

-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given 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 you as 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 Examiner’s Statement

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019
1. Accounting Policies
a) Accounting Convention
The PCC is a public entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs and with the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions. They have been prepared under FRS102 (2019) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2019 version of the Statement of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investment assets which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible by law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
b) Fund accounting
Funds help by the PCC are:
Unrestricted funds are income funds which are to be spent on the PCC’s general purposes.
Restricted funds comprise (a) income from trusts or endowments which is to be expended only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor and (b) revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC activity intended by the donor. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.
Designated funds are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future. Project funds are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Funds designated as invested in fixed assets for the PCC’s own use are abated in line with those assets’ annual depreciation charges in the SOFA. Designated funds remain unrestricted, and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.
c) Incoming Resources
Voluntary Income
Collections are recognised when received. Planned giving receiving is recognised only when received.
Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies are recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due.
Income from Investments
Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.
All Other Income
All other income is recognised when it is receivable.
Gains and Losses on Investments
Realised gains are recognised when the investments are sold. Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation on 31 December.
d) Resources Expended
Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross, apart from independent reviewer’s remuneration and accountancy and grants and donations which are accounted for when paid over, or when rewarded where the award creates a binding obligated on the PCC.
The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when paid. Any parish contribution unpaid as at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.
Page 13
THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST CHAD CHADWELL HEATH
(Charity Registration No: 1150077)
e) Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property , in so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of ‘charity’ by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.
Moveable church furnishings , held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected (at a reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore, such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1st January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated on a straight-line basis in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life.
Other Buildings , properties are included in the accounts at valuation. The PCC reviews the valuation annually, and any permanent impairment in value is transferred to the SOFA. No depreciation is charged on these buildings as, in the view of the PCC, the estimated useful life is so long that any charge would be immaterial.
Other Assets , Equipment used within the church premises with a purchase price exceeding £1,000 is capitalised. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Depreciation, Depreciation is provided at the following rates to write off fixed assets over their useful lives. In addition, an annual impairment review is carried out, and where appropriate the carrying value of an asset is reduced to the higher of net realisable value and recoverable value through continued use.
Church furnishings 5% straight line, 20 years
Furniture, fittings and office equipment 33% straight line, 3 years
f) Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC as at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds, or at the bank.
g) Going Concern
The church is able to pay its liabilities as they fall due, has no significant contingent liabilities or post balance sheet events that would contradict this view and has sufficient reserves to continue to operate for at least 12 months from the signature date of these accounts.
