Structure, governance, and management
The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England (PCC Powers Measure 1956, and the Church Representation Rules 2020) and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Charity registration number: 1151604. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended, and the Church Representation Rules that came into effect on 2nd January 1957 (most recently updated in 2021).
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 raised and spent.
The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery Synod, other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those on the Electoral Roll and up to two co-opted members. There are up to twelve elected members of the Council serving for a term of three years. One third of these retire each year (and are eligible for immediate re-election). This policy helps to ensure continuity of experience and policies whilst providing opportunities for new members to join and contribute. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.
The previous incumbent retired during 2021 and a new incumbent has not yet been appointed so we have been in interregnum (or vacancy) throughout 2022.
The PCC has three committees which meet as required between the meetings of the full PCC:
-
(1) The Standing Committee required by law, consists of the Vicar, the Wardens, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Vice Chair. It transacts the business of the council between meetings subject to any directions given by the council.
-
(1) The Finance Committee reviews financial matters including preparing budgets.
-
(2) The Fabric Committee reviews all aspects relating to the church building and churchyard.
There are also three informal working groups which meet as required. They were set up in March 2021 in anticipation of the interregnum. Three informal working groups (IWGs), which are committees of the PCC, were set up. Each group has two co-chairs who may appoint such persons as they consider appropriate, whether members of the PCC or not, to be members of the group.
The informal working groups are:
-
(3) the Administration IWG
-
(4) the Outreach and Growth IWG
-
(5) the Spiritual Leadership IWG.
The PCC is aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have regard to it in its administration of the Charity. The PCC believes that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Chad it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:
-
Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care, and spiritual, moral, and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers; and
-
Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in, and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society.

Aim and Purpose.
Pattingham with Patshull Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting 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 Parish Church of St Chad in Pattingham and its churchyard, as well as the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, Patshull, the fabric of which is now under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
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 many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music, and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and 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, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. Chad and the Churchyards under our care.
Worship and Prayer
The Spiritual IWG has maintained a service schedule which was introduced at the start of the interregnum in 2021. The format of the first Sunday family service and a third Sunday Youth service has been maintained with Communion services on the remaining Sundays. With a few exceptions, visiting Clergy have administered Communion and we have been deeply grateful for their unwavering support. On occasion, we have had Communion by Extension administered by our own Lay Readers, Dr Kenneth Scott and Dr Iain Coleman whilst James Makepeace has led Communion services on each second Sunday as well as each Wednesday morning. Additionally, an evening service has been maintained twice a month, with Evensong and an Iona service alternating. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to all those who have regularly led our worship this year and it was a particular joy to welcome Bishop Clive on Christmas Eve to lead our Midnight Mass.
Barbara Tritton has continued to organise the monthly Youth service whilst different members of the congregation have led the first Sunday services. The children of St. Chad’s School have been welcomed into Church for end of term services, as well as for the Harvest Thanksgiving service whilst the School choir has sung during Family service. The whole school attended Experience Christmas, an interactive experience delivered by our Readers and a small group of volunteers. Children from Year 4 also planted daffodil bulbs in our Eco Wild area. Additionally, a large number of families, including children, attended the Christingle service, organised and led by Chrissie Ringrose, as indeed she has done for many years to support The Children’s Society, the Christmas Eve Crib service and the Building of the Easter Garden service on Good Friday, followed by the Easter Egg Hunt. Once the covid pandemic had receded some members of the congregation returned into School each month to “Open the Book”, a much valued exercise in opening up the bible to a range of ages in school.
The Church joined forces with the Parish Council to organise a celebratory weekend for the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II and this included a memorable service in Church on Sunday morning, lead by Dr Kenneth Scott and supported by Mike Coope. A similar celebration was held to commemorate her life and service to the nation following her death shortly afterwards.
The whole community was welcomed into Church for a three-day Christmas Tree Festival, generously supported by local businesses and organisations and on the Saturday evening a concert given by The Brewood Singers was performed to a packed church.

Prayers for Peace was originally established as a response to the invasion of Ukraine, where a number of people met in the Lady Chapel for 15/20 minutes each day, other than Sunday. The frequency has gradually reduced but many have found this to be very worthwhile as it has brought much valued focus to the conflict in the Ukraine. It has also prompted the Church to donate in support of a Ukrainian family living in this country and a Christmas Tree, decorated by the Prayers for Peace group, won the popular vote at the Christmas Tree Festival.
In summary, the interregnum has created an opportunity for a wide variety of styles of worship and this has left the entire congregation in good heart. Indeed, overall attendance levels have recovered following the impact of the Covid pandemic with an average Sunday attendance during the year of 75 (68 adults and 7 under 16s) whilst the total attendance at services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were an encouraging 320 (235 adults and 85 children).
Outreach and Growth
This informal working group has continued to explore ways in which the Church can lead activities within our local community. Who’s for Lunch? was re-established in May 2022 and continues to satisfy a need with a monthly lunch, attended by many who are lonely in our community. Closer ties with the Parish Council were established and this led to a weekend of celebrations to mark our late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with the Church playing a leading role.
Further work has been undertaken to maintain our commitment to our environmental responsibilities and to up-hold our bronze and silver Eco-Church awards. The Eco Wild Area has been seeded with meadow grass seed and children from St. Chad’s School have planted daffodil bulbs and ‘Bug Hotels’ are in place. Additionally, a community wide litter pick has been established in order to contribute to a tidy environment.
Exploratory meetings continue to determine the Church’s capacity to appoint a Family and Young Persons’ resource in our village whilst club type activities for our youngsters are also being considered. In this regard, early progress has slowed following a re-evaluation of our earlier plans.
The Church fete in July attracted good support and again involves people from right across our village. Whilst a very useful fund raiser, this event also sees so many people working together for the good of the Church and the community.
A Christian themed Holiday Club was run in August 2022 by the Kingswood Educational Trust for children aged 4 – 11 years, supported by members of our Church. A total of 32 children attended and this was well received by both children and parents alike as it represented a departure from the traditional format of this event.
Our Wardens
An interregnum places enormous demands on the role of Warden and, as a Church, we are so fortunate to enjoy the unparalleled commitment and support of Dorothy Steel and Clive Pendrell. They are leaders of the highest calibre who have represented Pattingham not only locally but with distinction in both the Deanery and the Diocese. We are most grateful.
Safeguarding
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
This now represents an important and fundamental part of Church life as we ensure the safety of all children and vulnerable adults. We have therefore been extremely fortunate to attract Tracey Williams to the PCC

during 2022 and she has taken on the role of Safeguarding Officer. This is leading to a comprehensive review of our systems and practices and we are grateful to Tracey for leading this important function.
Financial Review
The PCC’s finances for 2022 show a surplus of £279 on day-to-day activities compared to a surplus of £8,090 for 2021. The overall financial position of St Chad’s is based on a very healthy balance sheet, with net cash of £197,143 and other Trust funds of £203,486.
However, the pattern of voluntary giving continued to move from in church giving (yellow/ green envelopes) to direct giving and bank transfers. Planned giving, plus gift aid raised £42,673 in 2022 compared to £48,289 2021.
The Church Estates Trust maintained its recurring annual grant of £20,000.
We were able to hold a church fete and a Christmas festival during the year, funds from which benefited the Acorns Childrens hospice with a donation of £350.
In line with PCC policy for mission giving £4,761was donated to various good causes. Lichfield Diocese replaced the parish share of £41,418 in 2021 with the Common Fund of £33,188 in 2022
Given the church has remained in interregnum for the whole financial of period and the recovery of the Covid 19 pandemic the outcome is to be commended as it provides a sound base from which the PCC can develop its plans or the future.
Reserves Policy
It is a PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible) to maintain all monthly payments to be made as well as enough to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.
It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund.
Declaration
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report and financial statements.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/members of the PCC of St Chad’s Church of
Pattingham with Patshull
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the PCC for the year ending 31 December 2022, which are set out on the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and Independent Examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
6 of 17
Parochial Church Council of St. Chad’s Church, Pattingham with Patshull
31 December 2022
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
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 the 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
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records, or
the accounts 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 come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the principal accounting policies adopted (which have been applied consistently, except where noted), judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, is set out below.
Basis of financial statements
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 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 also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 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 affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Cash flow statement
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Accounting estimates and prior year errors
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.
Description of Funds
Unrestricted funds are income funds that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.
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 abated in line with assets' annual depreciation charges in the SOFA. Designated funds remain unrestricted, and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.
Restricted funds comprise of two elements:
-
(a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest.
-
(b) donations or grants 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. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
Details of the funds held, and restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
10 of 17
Parochial Church Council of St. Chad’s Church, Pattingham with Patshull
31 December 2022
The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund.
Incoming resources
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Resources expended.
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
Fixed assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10 (2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
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). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred.
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash expected to be reived.
