## **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 2022).
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 2023.
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.
- (2) The _Finance Committee_ reviews financial matters including preparing budgets.
- (3) The _Fabric Committee_ reviews all aspects relating to the church building and churchyard.
There are also three informal working groups, operating as committees of the PCC, which were established in March 2021 in anticipation of the interregnum. 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:
- (4) the Administration IWG
- (5) the Outreach and Growth IWG
- (6) 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 the 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, when we have had communion by extension, visiting Clergy have administered Communion. Rev. James Makepeace led Communion services on each second Sunday as well as each Wednesday morning until he left us to finally retire in November. His last service was on the 12th of November, Remembrance Sunday. We are grateful to James for all his willing service to St. Chads over the years. As James departed the Rev Paul Brown became available having just retired from Wombourne and he has continued to take most of the communion services, including Wednesdays since then.
The pattern of evening services has also been maintained twice a month, with Evensong and an Iona service alternating. Three services were held over the two days of Christmas including Midnight Mass, which was led by Dr Gregory Platten the Chancellor of Lichfield Cathedral.
There have been some memorable highlights in our services over the past year. We had a very successful service on the 7th of May to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles. On the 11th of June we had a Confirmation service in Church led by the Bishop of Lichfield. There was a full Church as we hosted several other churches in the Deanery. It was a joy to see 8 of our own young people present themselves for confirmation and we pray for their continuing Christian development.
At the conclusion of another very successful Scarecrow Festival, we had a Brass Band Concert in Church on the Saturday evening and a special Harvest Service on the Sunday evening.
More routine services which continued were the monthly Youth Service , organised by Barbara Tritton, the first Sunday services led by different members of the congregation , the visits by the children of St. Chad’s School for end of term services, the building of the Easter Garden service on Good Friday, followed by the Easter Egg Hunt and a devotional service led by Dorothy Steel and Geoffrey Dann. Other services have included the Harvest Thanksgiving, the Christingle service, organised and led by Chrissie Ringrose, the Christmas Eve Crib service led by Lisa Ainsworth.
Prayers for Peace have also continued throughout the year on Tuesday evenings.
There was a significant change of personnel on the musical front during the year. Greg Lewin left us to enjoy retirement and we welcomed Martin Fox and his wife Catherine in his place. Martin has already made a huge contribution to the musical life of the Church and has been a great acquisition to the staff.

So, the life of the Church has prospered during the year, the third of the interregnum. The variety of styles of worship has been much appreciated by morning and evening congregations and the numbers attending services has on average risen over the year. In the continued absence of a vicar, in spite of 4 attempts to fill the post, we must accept that, as the Church continues to prosper, this must be God’s will for St Chads at the present time. May He continue to bless all the efforts being made in His name.
## **Outreach and Growth**
The Outreach & Growth Informal Working Group has continued to explore ways in which the church can be relevant to the community.
Who’s for Lunch? continues to satisfy a need with a monthly lunch. Upwards of 40 have attended the lunch which is aimed at offering companionship to the lonely amongst our retired community. The innovation of Shower Singers has been very successful with more than 40 singers attending regularly. Held on a Wednesday evening there is no charge for attendance, but participants are encouraged to bring a donation for the Well food bank.
A brass band concert by the Staffordshire Band was held towards the end of the year and proved very successful with over 120 attendees. The event achieved a surplus of almost £1,000 which was split between the church, the Haven Refuge and the Well food bank.
The church fete was again a highlight of the year and attracted good support from across the village, with people working together for the good of the community and the church.
In August a Christian themed holiday club was run at Kingswood Trust for children aged 4-11, with the support of church members. In the event the majority were of the younger age range, but it was well received by children and parents. Unfortunately, a proposed trip to Go Ape on Cannock Chase was cancelled due to lack of interest.
Discussions in respect of the potential appointment of a Childrens’ & Families’ Worker has continued with the PCC agreeing a job description for the post. This appointment is to be pursued during 2024. Support for the Well food bank has continued with donations of cash, food and toiletries being received. The project leaders attended the Family Service in July and gave a talk about their activities. As part of The Big Help Out on Coronation weekend, a village wide litter pick was organised.
## **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**
Tracey Williams, as a valued member of the PCC, undertakes the vital role of Parish Safeguarding Officer, something which is now more prominent in all organisations where people meet together. Our policy, which is in line with the House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, is reviewed annually by the PCC. It is also displayed in prominent areas of the Church building and on the website. This means that the PCC has complied with the duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty which is to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Tracey submits a monthly report to the PCC, whilst safeguarding training is mandatory for all PCC members. It is also encouraged for leaders of various activities within our Church and, so far, 21 members of the Church have completed training appropriate for their roles. This has to be repeated every 3 years. Additionally, all Church leaders and volunteers for whom a DBS check is required, have completed this successfully and this is also up-dated every 3 years.
If anyone wishes to learn more about this subject, we encourage them to refer to Tracey.

## **Financial Review**
The PCC’s finances for 2023 on day-to-day activities show a surplus of £9,530 after net accruals (debtors and creditors) of minus £3,677 are considered. Or alternately a surplus of £13,207 prior accruals compared to a surplus of £1,598 for 2022. This turn around was largely due to the support received from Church Estates trust. The theft of lead from the Church roof occurred in 2023. The total cost of the repair was quoted in excess £35,500. The PCC submitted a claim for the theft of lead to Ecclesiastical insurance against this we received only £7,500 as settlement. However, due to weather conditions and other factors, only a temporary repair was conducted in 2023 at a cost of £2,020. The balance of the £7,500 held against the full cost of repair.
The PCC received grants totalling £55,661 from the Church Estates, this included the upgrade to the church clock winding mechanism took place at cost £12,661.
We were able to hold a church fete and a Scarecrow festival during the year, funds from which benefited St Chad’s C.o.E. first School Pattingham, and Pattingham Village Hall to the sum of £8,000, and the balance being designated for replacement of the church notice boards.
Planned Giving, plus gift aid raised £41,157in 2023 compared to £42,673 in 2022. In line with PCC policy for mission giving of 10% of this was donated to the various worthy causes. The PCC paid a Common Fund to Lichfield Diocese of £33,188 in 2023
The overall financial position of St Chad’s is based on an extremely healthy balance sheet, with cash at the bank and in hand of £214,027 and other Trust funds (endowments) of £235,945. .
Given the church has remained in interregnum for the whole financial of period and the challenges of high inflation of energy and other costs, thanks to the support of the Church estates trust. the outcome is to be commended. and 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 2023, which are set out on the following pages.
## _**Respective responsibilities of the PCC and Independent Examiner**_
**6 of 17**
_Parochial Church Council of St. Chad’s Church, Pattingham with Patshull_
_31 December 2023_
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.
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 2023**
## **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 2023_
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.
