> ‘The members ofthe Parochial Church Council (PCC),[who] are the trustees ofthecharity, present their 

> annual report and[financial] statements[for][the] year[ended][31][December][2020.] 

## Structure, governance and management 

> The PCCof St Mary the Virgin Leigh is an independent charity which is part of the Diocese of Manchester within the Church of England. Under rules introduced bythe Charities Act 2006, the Charity was formally registered with The Charity Commission from 13 February 2013 as charity Number 1150800. Registration[with] the Charity Commission did not alter the requirements placed 

> upon the Charity, because excepted charities always[have,] and continue to be, fully under the supervision of the Charity Commission. 

> PCC’s are governed by twopieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures. These are: 

- ‘The Parochial Church Councils (Power) Measure 1956 as amended, whichdefinesthe principal function, or purpose, of the PCC as “promotingin the parish the whole[mission] of the church” 

- * The Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended) 

he[method][of] appointment[of][ PCC][members] (trustees)[is][set][out][in][the][Church][Representation][Rules,] Members can be ex-officioor elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) usuallyfor a three-year period. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral[Roll] and stand for election to the PCC. 

Thereis a Standing Committee which has the powerto transact the business of the PCC betweenits meetings, subject to any directions given it by[the][PCC,][and][consists][of] the[Incumbent][(Chair)][and] Church Wardens. 

## Charitable objectives and principal activities 

> Members of St Mary's PCC, as trustees, have the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Kevin Crinks, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of[the][Church,] pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.[The][PCC] also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church building situated in St Mary's Way, Leigh. 

> The trustees have referred to the information containedin the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public[benefit][when] reviewing[the][aims][and] objectives[and][in] planning[future][activities.][The][trustees] believe thatthe activities carried out benefit the public by providing opportunities to meet as a community, to serve one another and to provide service and[otherwise][assist][those][individuals][in][need] 

> becauseof social exclusion, poverty, disability or lack of opportunity. 

## Church Attendance 

> Atthe 2020 Annual Parish Meeting there were 133 (2019: 126) nameson theelectoral roll.

## PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST[MARY] THE VIRGIN, LEIGH REPORTOF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR[ENDED] 31st DECEMBER2020 (CONT) 

The usual annual attendance count did not take place[this] year due the extra-ordinary circumstances regarding Covid-19 and resulting restrictions on church gatherings.[It][is][difficult] to assess[the][effect][of] the pandemic on church attendance on-line and in person. 

## Financial Arrangements 

> The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis and have been independently examined in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act. 

> As described more fully in Note 6, the PCCis thebeneficial owner of the playgroundat St John's school. The PCC earns incomefrom this asset. 

> The Vicar and churchwardensare trustees of the Travice Charity, while the Prescott Charity is the responsibility of the Deanery Chapter. ‘These charities are independent of the PCC and as such no 

> transactions or balances are included within these financial statements except for any[donations][which] might[be][received][from] time to[time][by][the] PCC from the char 

## Review of the Year 

The year was overshadowed in all respects by the worldwide coronavirus pandemic known as Covid19. There wasa national lockdown from March 2020 followed by lots of varying degrees of restrictions ar[and] as a[result][the][PCC] quickly[had][to][move] its meetings[on-line] using[Zoom.][Most] meetings[concentrated][on][the][rules][to][be][followed] to[allow][safe][church][services][as][well][as] ongoing maintenance ofthe building and surrounding grounds. There was limited interaction with the wider although[the][church][did] provide[online] weekly assemblies for the local ol[and][also][participated] in[three][collections][for][the][Food][Bank.] 

## Financial Review 

Income from unrestricted funds was £59,074 (2019: £73,922). Income has decreased by[20%,][due] mainly tothe loss of cash on the plate at services and income from baptisms, weddings and the vestry coffee activities. Income[from] restricted funds was £1,467 (2019: £8,213), as disclosed in note[9.] 

Expenditure from unrestricted funds totalled £69,630 (2019: £86.701) consisting mainly of Parish Share, utilities, insurance and church repairs. Cost savings were madein several areas asa result of the church building being closed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Onceagain, the PCC was pleasedto pay the parish share in full at £37,820 (2019: £34,000). Expenditure from restricted funds was £3,625 (2019: £5,584) as disclosedin note 9. 

> The overall result for the year on unrestricted funds was net expenditure of £10,556, (2019: £12.79). Losses on revaluation of investments were £2,134, giving a net decrease on unrestricted funds of 

> £12,690 (2019: £15,229). Restricted funds decreased by £2,158

> ‘The numberof people who gave regularly to general church funds through the bank or the envelope 

> scheme during the year was 54 (2019: 70) and of these 41 (2019: 54) donated throughthe gift aid scheme, The method of calculating these figures has changed this year to use monthly averages rather 

> than year-end figures, as this better reflects the changingprofile of regular giving. The comparative figures for 2019 have been recalculated for consistency. There has been a decline in the number of. regular[donors] that began[long] before the current pandemic. In the year total planned giving was £25,361 (2019: £27, }) and £6,745 (2019: £8,402) tax could be recovered through thegift aid scheme. 

> It is not possible to quantify, in financial terms, the work done by many volunteers but the PCC recognises and is grateful[for][this.] 

## Future developments 

> Our plans for the coming year are to resume worship without restrictions as Covid-19 vaccine permits and to develop a sustainable pattern of services, pastoral care and outreachto our wider community. 

> We plan to make substantial investment in a new sound systemtoreplace the present system, now in its fifth decade of use. The new systemwill include connectivity to the internet and video facilities to offer livestreamed services to those unable to attend in-person worship. We plan to invest in a capital project to develop[the] west[end][of] the nave to provide[better][facilities][for][the] community, including a kitchen, community cafe and after school clubs. This will entail the removal ofsome existing pews and the provision of additional storage. This will be partly financed from the desigriated funds from the sale 

> ofthe Institute in 2018 as well as from grants and other fund raising. 

## Risk funds and reserves review, policy 

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on general unrestricted funds (excluding designated funds) to cover both ordinaryrunning costs and those which arise unexpectedly. The PCC would always aim to hold at least[6] months"[running] costs in free reserves, and this would be approximately £40,000. At 31st December 2020, the balance stood significantly higher than this target range at 15 months running costs (2019: 13 months). The PCC will continue to review whether action should be takento reduce thelevel of general funds held. 

It is the PCC policy to maximise investment returns by investing surplus funds with CCLA. At the year-end there was a balance at £39,784 (2019: £69,529) in the Church of Englanddeposit account and a[further] £295,387 (2019: £297,521) invested in CCLA[Church] of England Investments, with £113,866 in the CCLA[Church] of England Investment Fund and £ 181,521 into the CCLA Chureh of England Property[Fund.] The PCC believe this split of investments will achieve a suitable balanceof income generation[and] long-term growth whilst minimising risk.

## INDEPENDENTEXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PCC OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, LEIGH FOR THE YEAR[ENDED] 31« DECEMBER 2020 

> This report onthe financial statements ofthe PCC for the year ended 31* December 2020, which are set out on pages 8 to[16,] is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (“the Regulations”) and s.144[of] the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”) 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The chari trustees[consider] that an audit[is] not required for this year (undersection 144(2) ofthe Charities Act 2011 and thatan independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine[the] accounts (under section[145] of the Act); 

- + to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 143(5)(b) of the Act); and 

- + to state whether particular matters have come to myattention. 

## Basis of this report 

My examination was[carried] out[in] accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept bythe charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of anyunusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertakendo not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequentlyI do not express an audit opinion ‘on the accounts. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

> Inthe course of my examination, no matter has cometo my attention 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

   - + proper[accounting][records] are[kept][(in][accordance] with[section][41][of][ the] Act);[and] 

   - + accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding ofthe accounts tobe reached.

The[funds] may only be expended on the specific purpose[for][which] they were given. Any balance remaining unspentat the endof the yearis carried forward as[@] balance on that fund. The PCC doesnot normally invest separately[for] each fund and,[when] necessary, interest is apportioned to individual funds. Designated Funds are[funds][which] are[not][restricted][by][the][donor][but][which][the][PCC][has][agreed][to] designate[to][be][used][in][the][future][for] a specific purpose.[They][remain][under] the[control][of][ the][PCC][as][part] of unrestricted funds and could be at time in the future at the discretion ofthe PCC. re-designated any 

Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can[be] used for PCC ordinary purposes. They[include] designated funds[and][free] reserves. Free reserves are those funds available to be[used][at] the[discretion][of] the PCC which have not been designated for any particular purpose

## 9 FUND MOVEMENTS (Cont) 

## Designated funds 

The PCC regularly estimates levels of non-recurring expenditure that they believe will be necessary in the foreseeable future and periodically they designate money out of general funds for such purposes. Any balancesnot usedat the end of the year are carried forward to subsequent years, but could be redesignated by the[PCC] as appropriate. The PCC designated £300,000 from the sale of the Institute in 2018 to support future parish income, in recognition[that] it may[take] some[time][for] new sourcesof income to[be] developed[to] replace[the][rental] income lost. It was anticipated that this designated fund would be released over the subsequent 10 years. During 2020 the transfer was[made] as planned even though the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic was not as severe as feared.
