matters that affect the welfare of the parish.

having unLlergone safeguarding training during the earLy part of the year
with new members to be trained as soon as possibLe. Safeguarding is a
permanent agenda item on each full PCC meeting. Christ Church is also a
Dementia friendly church. having undergone dementia training anLI

understanding.
In order to conform with all standards required of the Charity by the Charity
Commission. the parish is compliant and has in In place poLlcles and
guidelines on the following:
Cornplaints: Disciplinary," Employer/Employee contract an¢J condurt:
Safeguar(iing [Chiid Protertion & Vulnerable Adults]. Grievance: Finance:

The PCC agreed to finan￿ a laptop computer for our Ministerfs use at home
for pastoral purposes at a cost of £355.00 on 23t¢l March 2020. A stand-
aLone computer purchased for Church use is also being used at the Minister's
home from March 2020. Both remain the property of the PCQ
As part of the Parish commitment for community outreach and public
benefit the PCC agreed to invest in BOOM [formerLy West Sussex Credit
Union], regular sums of restricted investment income. which is specific,
heLp those in need.
BOOM is regulated by the Financial Services Authority and are well versed in
offering affordable. low interest financiaL help and advice to those who are
most vulnerable and in most need- by investing in this credit union, the PCC
feel well placed to know that when and where there is need. BOOM are there
to help. It is also worth noting that whilst clients are asking for consideration
on loans, they are also encouraged to save with BOOM. to give that added
incentive of ownership. The PCC are please(J to state that throughout the
Covid-19 pandemic crisis, we were able to continue this quarterly depos1(
ensuring help to those in need during this challenging time. The PCC agreed
that this need couLd be well served by turning to BOOM. whose office is in the
town centre and in our Parish.

In March, the PCC agreed to make a discretionary payment to the Mothers
Union to help towards the refurbishment of their ststic caravan at
WincheLsea. The caravan has been extensively used for children with mental
and physical clisabiiities, aLlowing them respite with their parenucarers. The
Mothers Union informed the PCC that whilst there is confidentiality about the
Use, families from the Parish would have used an(J wouL(i be able to use the
facility, should there be a need. The Mothers Union informed the PCC. had it
not been for the help. the caravan would not have been operable.
It is good to see the use of Gift Aid through the Parish Giving Scheme [PGS]
and giving in general using the Parish Gift Aid envelopes. It is encouraging
to note that the PCC is cLaiming the maximum amount of gift aid allowed for
by the Government As the congregation grows there have been more joining
the PGS scheme.
Government and Church of England Covlcl advi￿ was there should be no
monetary offering during services. Instead. there is a coLLettlon point at the
entrance of Church.
This allows for some members to use the facility.
Others, instead, (Jonate directly into the Church banking system.
The PCC are attiveLy seeking alternate ways of encouraging giving. one idea
is mobile contactless bank machines.
The PCC decided that specific collection5 during the Advent ancl Christmas
period would be equally divided between the Missions supported by Christ
Church.
This was by way of compensating those societies normally
supported by the Wednesday morning coffee sessions and as well as our
Mission days.
The Largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum paid to the Diocese to cover
our Parish Ministry Costs [PMC]. This amount covers the housing. Stipend
and pensions costs of the clergy and a stsndard sum for dI0￿san central
costs, clergy training and a contribution to the nationaL church fund.
There were no trustees who sought reimbursement for ary Parish business
expenses in their role as trustee of the PCQ excepting the Chair of the PCG
the Reverend David Renshaw.
His expenses are detsiled in the Church
accounts which a￿ incorporate(I within this report and are detaile(J below: .
Taxable gain is levied on Fixed Monthly Charge for Telephone and Broadband

Internet and therefore is subject to HMR&C declaration by Clergy.
The PCC met 100% of their commitment to pay the Parish Ministry Cost
[PMC] of £35,247 for 2021. It is also important to note that the total cost
relates directly to the clergy of this parish, the remainder being shared costs
of the Christian family throughout the whole Church of England, including
assistance towards the upkeep of churches less able to manage than
ourseLves within the Deanery.
The PCC empLoy: A Verger. an administrator, and an organisL The PCC
contracts Mrs Lorraine Roberts to work as Verger and is paid £45 per
calendar month. The Verger role is paid at £10.38 per hour for one hour per
week. Additional time workecl is on a voluntsry basi& She is also a Trustee

voluntary basis. She is also a Trustee but receives no remuneration for this
role. The remunerations are above the nationaL hourly rate.
The Minister is also a Trustee but has received no remuneration for this roLe.
Trustees are entitled to claim expenses incurre(J in undertaking their specific
role as a trustse.
All employees are pald under the PA.Y.E system using HMR&C computer
software and the Parish is regulated and ￿gIstered by HMR&C for Income
Tax and National Insuran￿ purposes. The Parish is fully compLiant with all
HMR&C rules and regulations and offer the Parish options for training at any
time.
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds
[excLuding property] which equates to approximately three months, worth of
unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations. The
closing balance of £415.586. despite the deficit of £53.006 this year. is a
positive step and we still have enough cash flow to continue to pay bills when
they fall due from designated funds which form part of general fun(Js.
As welL as holding the above general reserves. from time to time the PCC WILI

re￿1ve a legacy and donations for expenditure on purposes, defined by the
donor. We aim to expend such money as soon as possible after receiving the
legacy or donation. depending on the specific objectives of the donor. The
legacy and donations of the Re-order fund fall into this category. If the PCC
identify that the specific purpose can only be achieved by delaying the
expenditure. the Legacy is invested. temporarily, until the need for
expenditure is identified and the donors notified.

There is no doubt that Coronavirus [Covid-19] in 2020, inftuenced the annual
finances of the Church for this year ending, but not to the extent feared.
Expenditure in some areas reduced. whilst in others increased. this was to
ensure communication with church members, one example would be postage
and printing.
It should be noted that the CBF Restricted and Endowment Investment Asset
[Item 5 to the accounts] totslling £116,228 is maintaine(i in trust by the
Chichester Diocesan Board of Finance and the Church of Englan(J Investment
Board known as the CCLA. The value of this investrnent saw a capital
increase in 2021, of £10.743. The PCC endeavour to use this specified

income. which is received every four months in a year a5 best they can. by
investing the income within BOOM formally West Sussex Credit Union. as
mentioned above.
It is encouraging to note that despite Covid-19,
investment continued to rlse. COIF Cortis Gift and COIF Investment E M
Garland fund vaLued at £25,637 are restricted funds to assist folk in need.
Efforts to realise the Investment Asse( as detaited in Item 5. could only be
agreed providing the terms in which the capital heLd is used specifically for
its restrictive purpose.
There remains a continuing need to explo￿ all tneans of increasing income
from the present church membership while at the same time, by our united

this is calle(J Gift Ai(1 SmaLI Donations Scheme [GASDS]. The maximum
amount of Loose collection is £8,000 over a previous tax period [6 ApriL to 5
Apri L].
In real terms this means the Parish could receive the maximum gift aid of
£2.000. The tax year for GASDS 2020/21 WILI show a redU￿d claim due to
Covid-19 and the lack of services from April to December.
The PCC agreed. for the budget year 2021. to seek help from a volunteer to
fuLfil the roLe of Gift Aid Officer. to be able to deal with Gift Aid and to
maximise the potential of help from HMR&C
The Parish Glving Scheme [PGS] alLows gift ai(J to be added to the giving in

the en(J of each month. There is also an Option to review giving annuaLIy.

The PCC wllL walk forwar(l. together in falth In the SU￿ knowleclge that God.
our Father. WILI guide and support us. Prayer is a positive and integral part
of our growth in His Ministry at Christ Church and in the town centre of
Worthing.
We take huge comfort in the verse above and from comments of those who
V151t an(i/or worship at Christ Church. All that we do at Christ Church is to
serve. We beLieve with His help Christ Church WILL continue to serve the
community and encourage alL to benefit from what He has to offer, the Good
News of his son Jesus Christ
Certainly, the PCC have thought carefully about the services to ensure they
engage the peopLe who come into town and those who regularly worship at
Christ Church.
The Church that prays together stay5 together and we have done this by
ensuring a clarity of reason and communication. by not allowing conftict and
vaLuing inpuL by spreading the workload, being cLear who is taking the lead.
by not Stopping change, Looking for quabty and continuity in the lead on
worship. by organising pastoral car& welcotning newcomers. and
encouraging attendance and Prayer!!!
Christ Church have a reputation for being friendly and community based with
Jesus at the centre. The Church is openly attive during the week. The PCC
need to be more intentional about making the most of these attributes. How
much do 7•ve think we can grow by as a church next Yea￿ How does our own
activity contribute to the wider faMIL￿ How do we engage with the Town
Centre?
The responsibiitty is ours. but GCKI also Sets the aim. and it is dear: _

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trusteeslmember5 of the Parish of WorthTrng Christ Churth. on the annual accounts for the
year ended 31st December 2021.
Resp•ctive responslbllltles of trustees and examiner
The t￿Stee5 conslder that an audit is not requlred for thls year (under section IHI2) of the Charities Act
2011 (the Art), and that an independent ex6mination Is needed.
It Is my responsibilFty to..
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act).
to follow the procedures lald down in the General Directlons gtven by the tharity Commi5SÉOll
(under sertion 145(5){b) of the Act, and
to stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis ol Independent examlner's statement
My examinatr.on was carrred out in accordance wlth General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.
An examination indudes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a cornparison of
the attounts presented with those ￿OrdS. It also indudes considerdb'on of any unusual items or
dF5cIosures In the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees conceming any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be ￿quired in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is gwen a5 to whether the accounts present a Irue and fair vTrew' and the report Is
limiteij to those matters set out In the statttnent below.
Independent examiner's siatement
In the course of my examlnatlon. no matter has come to my a￿￿tt10n
whlch gives me reasonable cause to bdieve that in. any mat￿la1 respett, the trustees requirernents..
to keep accounting records in accordance wdith sertlon s.130 of the Att. and
to prepare accounts which accor(I with these atcounting records have not been met: or
to whith, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandlng of the
accounts to be reached.
