MARKET BOSWORTH PCC
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
This is the eighth annual report of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Market Bosworth, Cadeby with Sutton Cheney and Congerstone (referred to as the Bosworth PCC in this report).
The PCC is responsible for four churches: -
St Peter, Market Bosworth All Saints, Cadeby St James, Sutton Cheney St Mary the Virgin, Congerstone
Each of which has a church hall, although the ones at Sutton Cheney and Cadeby are administered as separate charities.
The PCC forms part of the Bosworth Benefice.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Bosworth PCC will continue to exercise its responsibility to the whole mission of the Church within the Diocese of Leicester. It remains committed to working with all the churches of the Benefice as well as ecumenically with other Christian denominations and faiths within the parish. We continue to work closely with The Roman Catholic Church of our Lady and St Gregory's in Market Bosworth, and the Market Bosworth Free Church.
The PCC also recognises its responsibility for the maintenance of its Churches and church halls noted above.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to engage with our churches.
Our aims are:
To enable as many people as possible to worship in our churches and to share the love of God through worship, prayer, music and sacrament.
To express the Christian faith through daily discipleship, love and compassion for all our neighbours.
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.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The parishes rely almost totally on the active participation of volunteers to ensure the successful organisation of its services and managing the Churches.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Achievements and performance (Community & Missional Achievements and Sustainability) Bosworth Benefice comprises seven churches of which four make up the administrative unit of Bosworth PCC. We are a predominantly rural Benefice with Market Bosworth being the 'hub'. Market Bosworth is by population size a village whilst having many features of a rural town.
We are a busy Benefice. One ordained stipendiary minister, one curate in training, who is also now employed as our Benefice Discipleship Enabler (BDE) - see below, 2 readers and 2 Children's Ministry Enablers (CME's) - see below, also employed by St Peter's Fund who make up the 'ministry' team. Regardless of the size of any of our churches we aim to be a visible and active presence in the communities we serve. Instinctively, major festivals are times when we do this most.
In 2021 once again our usual calendar of services was adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which meant not all regular weekly services and other significant events could take place, or were held with restricted numbers or via digital online platforms.
We noted in 2020 the need to 'support our more rural churches and their communities, and also that work with children should have increased priority'. We subsequently prepared Job Descriptions, advertised through the Diocesan channels and interviewed candidates for the two roles of Benefice Discipleship Enabler (BDE) and Children's Ministry Enabler (CME) and appointed Revd Ann Hall to the post of BDE and Mrs Sue Poskitt and Mrs Susan Webster as joint CMEs.
The overall vision for the role of BDE is stated as follows :'To work alongside and in conjunction with the Incumbent and Ministry Team to facilitate, assist and enhance the missional and discipleship activities of the Benefice to share God's love within the rural communities that comprise Bosworth Benefice.'
And for the CME role as follows: 'To encourage, develop, enhance and lead activities to share God's love with children and deepen their understanding of the message of the Good News of Jesus.'
The appointments were made in September 2021 with reviews set for 6 months. To date both roles have brought significant benefits enhancing our resources, contacts and opportunities.
St Mary's, Congerstone continues to develop its opportunities. There have been additional local history presentations and publication of information regarding life at Gopsall Hall. It has also provided a suitable venue for a new 'Come and See' enquirers service and 'Little Fishes' pram service.
Services at Cadeby were significantly curtailed due to the pandemic, but have begun again in 2022.
The project to develop a Sculpture Trail depicting different elements of the battle of Bosworth as a local visitor attraction has moved on and is gaining support. The first one of these is proposed to be in the grounds of St James, Sutton Cheney and depicts the 'Night before the battle'. The project is being led by the 1485 Group in conjunction with the Borough Council and local organisations.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Factors likely to affect future financial performance or position
The appointments of a Benefice Discipleship Enabler and a Children's Ministry Facilitator will have some effect on St Peter's Fund, but only in relation to the Interest gained. The appointments would be for an initial period of 18 months and assessed through monitoring and recording to ensure that we are investing our finances wisely and effectively.
The land assets recognised for potential development in the Neighbourhood Plan (known as The Station Fields site) are still on-going. The Borough Council, Parish Council, Neighbourhood Forum and ourselves are working in partnership to fulfil the recommendation of the Neighbourhood Plan for development. Complication has always focussed around suitable access to the site. In the meantime we continue to work through our agent and solicitor. As interest, motivation, and pressure have built around this potential site, there have been increased costs to maintain and hold our position until a 'master plan' has been completed and agreed so that the project may advance.
Whilst we keep a close-eye on these costs, we know that if the project were to go ahead, they would be covered by the sale of the site.
Overall the trustees continue to be mindful that economic factors could impact the return on investments but are in regular discussions with CCLA with regards the risk profile of the investments.
Corporate Governance
We continue to maintain our attention to the reporting and governance as guided by the Charity Commission and implemented by our Finance Committee.
At its Annual Meeting, the PCC confirmed Fortus remain the appointed auditor for the third year of a three-year contract to work with us in preparing the Annual Accounts and Report for 2021.
The Suspension of Presentation was lifted in December 2019 and we are now recognised as Bosworth Benefice. Our current incumbent's license is likely to be amended to read 'Rector'.
Fabric & Buildings
St Peter's Church, Market Bosworth, and St James' Church, Sutton Cheney had Quinquennial Inspections (QI) in 2021. St Mary's Congerstone requested a 1-year extension as their restoration works were very recently completed - this was agreed by the PCC and Archdeacon of Loughborough. Each church continues to work to the recommendations of their QI reports. There have been no major fabric incidents during 2021.
A mature beech tree, that was originally thought to belong to St Peter's Church, lost a large bough early in October 2021 during a storm. A tree specialist was called who removed the bough and cleared the area before the end of the day. The church's insurers were immediately notified and based on a recent tree condition report and the adverse weather conditions at the time of the incident, concluded the PCC had acted responsibly. Subsequent enquiries with Land Registry showed that the tree came under the ownership of the neighbouring hotel group. The PCC informed the hotel's head office and the tree officer at the local authority. A neighbouring resident, who was pursuing an insurance claim because of property damage, has now been referred to the hotel group.
At Cadeby, investigative work on the boundary wall has been completed, the relevant faculties applied for and tenders for the project being sought. A grant was received for a new picnic table and also funding for planting native daffodils and snowdrops in the churchyard.
A rededication service led by the Bishop of Leicester and attended by Lord and Lady Howe was held on 16 October 2021 at St Mary's Church in Congerstone to celebrate the completion of the initial restoration and building works. Additional work to replace the lead on the tower roof and re-erect the weathervane will start early in 2022.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity had funds at the beginning of the year of £9,636,448. There was a deficit of £2,751 before investment gains and a surplus of £813,856 after the gains on investment assets and revaluation of property. Therefore, giving reserves carried forward at 31 December 2021 of £10,450,304.
The significant event that has affected financial performance and financial position is the Covid-19 pandemic, during which many of our regular Church services were unable to take place, such as Sunday services, weddings, baptisms and funeral services, nor were we able to welcome large congregations to our seasonal services at Easter, Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas. Our Church Halls were closed for significant periods and so hire income was drastically reduced. There was only limited income gained through fundraising activities during the year.
Total income for the year was £242,919 (2020: £232,493) of which £80,514 (2020: £68,008) were unrestricted receipts.
The charity has investments which generate income and in 2021 this included £46,105 (2020: £46,108) in the form of rental income and £100,743 (2020: £97,285) from listed investments.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources of the charity are:
-
Donations and collections
-
Rental income
-
Income from investments
-
Fees from weddings and funerals
-
Church hall lettings
-
Fêtes and other events
Periodic grants and legacies are also received.
These sources of income have been expended in the furtherance of the charity's objectives.
Investment policy and objectives
The listed investments are managed by CCLA who are selected because of the extent to which they assess environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. CCLA are a leader in stewardship and ethics and are a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and the UK Stewardship Code.
The listed investments form part of the St Peter's Fund and the portfolio is balanced between providing an annual income to support the objectives of this fund whilst maintaining capital for the future. The rate of return of the investments is considered by the trustees to be satisfactory.
In 2022 we plan to meet with our Client Relationship Manager at CCLA.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Parochial Church Council of the charity ('Board of Trustees' - St Peter's Fund) have determined that each church comprising Bosworth PCC should retain sufficient unrestricted funds as follows :
Current reserves are:
| Insuranc | RPI 1.2% | Total | |||||

| Total | 8,185 | 9,600 | 6,583 | 13,346 | 37,714 | 2,827 | 40,541 |
As at 31 December 2021 the level of the combined reserve was £166,849 which is sufficient against that set in the reserves policy. This balance can be further analysed below:
Cadeby Parish Church: £41,565 Congerstone Parish Church: £4,800 Market Bosworth Parish Church: £109,632 Sutton Cheney Parish Church: £10,852
The trustees have designated the funds equivalent to the net book value of the buildings which total £591,000 as at 31 December 2021. This has been designated as the assets cannot be realised without undermining the charity's work.
At 31 December 2021 the restricted fund balances were £9,651,926, the designated fund balances were £631,529 and the total funds were £10,450,304.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
We aim to progress on our vision to reorder St Peter's Church internally. We are working with the DAC (Diocesan Advisory Committee), the Buildings Development enabler and our architect to consider options. The General Synod of the church and Diocesan Synod have committed the church to review and reduce its 'carbon footprint' and this will be a factor in any plans put forward. Our churches aspire to work more closely together. Our aim remains to welcome and establish God's Kingdom in our hearts, lives and communities as we grow in faith in this Benefice, Deanery and Diocese. The Leicester Diocese Synod agreed in November 2021 to a new 'Shaped by God' framework for organisation of parishes and ministry resource. We anticipate there will be further developments in the implementation of this framework throughout the coming year.

MARKET BOSWORTH PCC
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Charity constitution
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 part of the Diocese of Leicester within the Church of England.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Members are elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the four churches. All those who attend our services/ members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to their DCC and the PCC. Training is available for PCC members through the Diocese of Leicester in areas such as finance, safeguarding and administration. The Charity Commission's Guide The Essential Trustee is provided to new trustees.
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 managed. In addition to the Annual Meeting, the full PCC meets in accordance with the Church Representation Rules, which is to hold a sufficient number of meetings to enable the efficient transaction of its business. In 2020, the PCC held two meeting in addition to the Annual Meeting, two of these occasions were via an online meeting platform.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Risk management
We are required to state in the annual report that "the major risks to which the PCC is exposed have been reviewed and that systems or procedures designed to manage those risks have been established."
One main area of risk relates to the St Peter's Fund that comprises of agricultural land and investments to generate growth and income. Whilst the value of the investments can underperform, CCLA were selected for reasons outlined above, and trustees are satisfied that their investment management strategy avoids excessive risk. Land is managed by reputable land agents, Andrew Granger, who are able to advise us and act where necessary to ensure risks are identified and managed.
Other financial risks could occur through poor budgetary/spending control and financial reporting. The Incumbent chairs the Finance Committee and works with the administrator to produce reports for PCC meetings. Book-keeping and reporting is now performed using Finance Co-ordinator software. All budget limits and expenditure require PCC approval, and payments are authorised by a minimum of two signatories.
The coronavirus pandemic continued to be a significant threat to the health of the finances. A budget was prepared accordingly which was regularly monitored. Whilst the day to day church and hall income and associated costs were impacted again, the investment with CCLA continued to performed as well as previously predicted and income from land rental was also unaffected.
Since the appointment of the Premises Officer, a regular schedule of health and safety checks are performed. Risk assessments are carried out for any areas of concern, for example access to the tower and battlements. Health and Safety and Safeguarding Policies are in place and reviewed annually.
A structured programme of work is continuing to ensure policies and procedures are in place and reviewed.
The Trustees are satisfied that adequate insurance is in place to protect the churches, buildings and structures.
The trustees are committed to the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and have the required policies and procedures in place, as provided by the Leicester Diocese Safeguarding team, copies of which are publicly available in each church and hall. We work in partnership with the Diocese Safeguarding team to ensure policies and procedures are up to date. Notices detailing who our Safeguarding Co-ordinator is, along with other relevant contacts, are displayed. All volunteers fulfilling relevant roles have received appropriate Safeguarding training. Any concerns are appropriately dealt with in partnership with the Diocesan Safeguarding Co-ordinator.

MARKET BOSWORTH PCC
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For The Year Ended 31 December 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 17 May 2022 and signed on its behalf by:
David Surtees - Trustee

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARKET BOSWORTH PCC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Market Bosworth PCC (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 10
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARKET BOSWORTH PCC
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework..
We understood how the charity is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquiries through review of board minutes and discussions with those charged with governance.
We assess the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by discussion with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. We considered the procedures and controls that the charity has established to prevent and detect fraud, and how these are monitored by management, and also any enhanced risk factors such as performance targets.
Based on our understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations identified in the paragraphs above.
We also performed audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For The Year Ended 31 December 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Valuation of investment properties
The investment properties are stated at fair value based on the valuations performed by Andrew Granger & Co and updated by the Trustees at the year end. The valuers used observable market prices adjusted as necessary for any differences in the future, location or condition of the specific asset. The Trustees are of the opinion that, based on available market evidence, there were no material changes to the property valuations.
Income
Legacies are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is considered reasonably certain.
Grants and donations are included in the SOFA when any preconditions preventing their use by the PCC have been met. For collections and planned giving this is when the funds are received.
Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid is recognised at the same time as the income.
Donated assets are accounted for as soon as they are received and are included in the accounts at a reasonable estimate of their value.
Funds raised by fetes and other social events are accounted for gross.
Rental income from the letting of church properties is recognised when the rental is due.
Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer.
The PCC receives substantial practical assistance from individual church members, but the financial value is mainly unquantifiable and no attempt is made to reflect this in the accounts.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised at the earliest point that there is an obligation to make a transfer of value to a third party.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2021: £1,686, 2020: £1,200).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 3% following improvements in the funding position over 2021. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Market Bosworth PCC could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer's pension liabilities.
