## **Structure, governance and management**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church members are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Members of the PCC are either ex officio or elected at the Annual Parish Meeting. Members may be Co-opted to fill casual vacancies.

Deanery Synod members are elected for 3 years. Clergy, readers and churchwardens are ex officio members.
## **Teams**
In addition to the main PCC, there are also teams established by the PCC to look at certain matters and report back to the main PCC meeting.
## _Standing Committee_
This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council.
## _Fabric Team_
This team has responsibility for all aspects of the maintenance and upkeep of the Church Fabric.
## _Worship and Discipleship Team_
This team meets to review all aspects of our worship.
## _Friends of St Luke’s_
This team has been formed to launch a Friends Group to provide resources and support to the parish by way of social & fundraising events involving the wider community.
## _Youth Work Team_
This team coordinates our outreach to young people within the churches of Tiptree and the wider community.
## _Stewardship and Finance Team_
This team receives regular financial updates, reviews income and expenditure and coordinates the PCC’s stewardship scheme.
## **Objectives and activities**
St. Luke’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish of Tolleshunt Knights with Tiptree the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St. Luke’s Church, the Churchyard and Church extension, Tiptree together with graveyard at Tolleshunt Knights. The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. We have good links with our fellow churches in the village and with the local schools. Our extension is in regular use by both church groups and other groups from the wider community.
## **Achievements and performance**
## _**Church attendance**_
All are welcome to attend our regular services. As of May 2021 there are 114 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 5 of whom are not resident within the parish. A complete revision of the electoral roll took place in 2019. The average weekly attendance at Sunday services, when not affected by Covid restrictions, including children is approximately 65. Due to the Covid19

**Parish of Tolleshunt Knights with Tiptree Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2020 – continued**
pandemic there were no services held in church over Christmas 2020 apart from an outdoor Carol Service. Services were held over Zoom. As well as our regular services some of which had to be online due to Covid, and some with restricted attendance when restrictions ease, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life.
## **Review of the Year**
The following is a report of the proceedings of the PCC during the year. Other reports on aspects of worship at St. Luke’s are in a separate booklet.
_During 2020/21 (from the time the 2020 APCM was due to be held) the PCC met four times via Zoom, and there were also a further 5 Standing Committee meetings via Zoom plus several Joint Standing Committee meetings with the other 3 churches in our part of the Team. PCC membership was as follows:_
- _Anne-Marie Renshaw (Chair)_
- _Ian Calvert (Churchwarden)_
- _Mike Puttick (Churchwarden)_
- _Harold Toms_
- _Clive Eastbrook (Assistant Churchwarden)_
- _Martin Sergeant (stood down at the October APCM)_
- _Penni Vigar_
- _Pauline Swindle (Deanery Synod)_
- _Paul Green_
- _Alison Weston_
- _Richard Reynolds_
- _Sheila Gunson_
- _Eric Wilson (co-opted for 1 year in May 2019, elected at October 2020 APCM)_
- _Martin Borgartz (Deanery Synod & Treasurer)_
- _Wendy Borgartz ( Deanery Synod & Secretary)_
_There are currently 2 vacancies._
_The PCC has complied with the duty under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults._
_Due to the current restrictions, none of the Teams have operated over the past year. Two Standing Committee meetings were held in June 2020. The first one agreed to continue with work on the Extension while the building could not be used. It was also agreed to enter into a partnership with the Colchester foodback which formalised the arrangements, opened up proper training for volunteers and means our activity is included in the Trussel Trust figures. The second meeting in June considered the changes agreed to the layout of the doors to allow the office door to be behind the locked door for security and a revised lone worker policy. Progress on the works to the hall was also discussed. A further standing committee meeting was held in June jointly with the other PCCs in this part of the Team to plan the re-opening of services from the beginning of July and how this could be achieved safely._
_In July, the first full PCC meeting was held via Zoom. It was agreed to undertake repairs to the memorial wall and to pave over the flower beds by the drive once the other work on the building was completed. It was agreed to allow burial of ashes that were in cardboard boxes or caskets, but they must be standard sized with no plastic handles or any kind of lining, with the preference for them to be loose. It was confirmed that the APCM could not be held electronically and had to happen by the end of October, so all PCC members remained in office until the APCM was held. The PCC discussed the re-opening and agreed that services had to continue to be made available_

**Parish of Tolleshunt Knights with Tiptree Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2020– continued**
_electronically. It was agreed that we would aim to have services for harvest, Remembrance Sunday, a memorial service and advent and Christmas, but that we would have to limit what we could do to what was allowed and not plan any big events. The financial position was considered with a generous legacy received, giving was reported to be holding up as people have sent in cheques or set up standing orders into the bank account._
_In September a joint standing committee meeting was held to discuss arrangements for the APCMs of the 4 PCCs, contingency planning in case Anne-Marie or Harold contracted Covid or had to self-isolate, and arrangements for harvest festivals, Remembrance and memorial services. A PCC meeting at the end of the month also considered the arrangements for the APCM to be held on 18 October, the harvest festival, memorial services and Remembrance Sunday plans, and drew up an online plan for Christmas in case this was needed. The Treasurer reported that Stewardship was holding up well, extension income was much reduced, and that a big proportion of the Parish share still had to be paid but that it would be paid in full. The work on the Hall was now almost complete, except for the kitchen._
_A Standing Committee meeting was held at the beginning of November where it was agreed to keep the church open for one session of private prayer on Saturday mornings. It was reluctantly agreed to cancel the Christmas tree festival due to uncertainty. A PCC meeting was held later in November, which received the annual safeguarding report. Sidesmen were appointed and it was agreed to keep Team membership unchanged, but only Extension Management and Finance may meet until things get back to normal. A new appendix to the lone working policy was approved. Plans for December services, if these are permitted, were discussed and it was agreed to trial having a Communion service in church at 9.30 and a Zoom service in the afternoon. Online services were agreed for Christingle, the crib service, also a 9 lessons and carols service. In person services were to be held if possible for Midnight and Christmas Day, if not to do on Zoom with Anne-Marie receiving communion on our behalf at home for Midnight. Although the Christmas Tree festival had to be cancelled, it was agreed to place pictures from previous years online, one a day, through Advent. The soup run was discussed, and it was agreed to continue to support people in Tiptree rather than Colchester, which means supporting the Tiptree foodbank instead of the soup run._
_A further joint Standing Committee meeting was held in early December, to discuss the simultaneous administration of both the wafer and wine at our future Holy Communion services, now that this had been approved by our bishops. A joint Standing Committee meeting was held just before Christmas which agreed that in the light of the designation of much of Essex as tier 4 the wisest, fairest and simplest course was to close all our churches and hold the services online instead. In early January, with the announcement of lockdown 3, the PCC agreed via email to suspend public worship in our churches until the 21 February. A further joint Standing Committee meeting was held in early February to discuss arrangements for Lent, Holy Week and Easter, and planned for a range of online and outside services._
_In February the full PCC ratified the resolution to suspend public worship passed via email in January and agreed to suspend public worship until 25 April 2021. The APCM date was moved from March until 23 May. The plans for Lent, Holy Week and Easter were also ratified. The Treasurer talked the PCC through the 2020 accounts. We lost all the fundraising income for the year, hall lettings were significantly lower, some stewardship was lost – regular giving continued but all casual donations were lost, as was fee income. Once we are back in church we need to catch up on fundraising, get hall lettings back up and keep an eye on spending. The accounts were approved unanimously and the PCC thanked the Treasurer for his hard work. The sale of a piece of land owned by the PCC in Simpsons Lane finally completed in January, the Extension works have all been paid for. The 2021 financial position was considered, there will significantly less hall letting income again this year and fee income is also likely to remain low_

## **Parish of Tolleshunt Knights with Tiptree Annual Report Year ended 31 December 2020 – continued**
_At the meeting in April the PCC considered the arrangements for the APCM and set dates for future meetings. The Holy Week and Easter services were reviewed, it was agreed the cross outside the church was something to repeat. The Good Friday services need rethinking, as numbers have been very low in recent years for the three hour service, the shorter service outside was much better attended. The Easter fire with everyone outside was also something to repeat. The Agape meal went well on Zoom, but the preference would be for a meal in the hall next year followed by Communion in church. The re-opening was discussed. The future pattern of services following Lydia Smith’s resignation was discussed, and the PCC agreed we would have to compromise, as the other churches are doing, and to have one service per month that was not a Communion Service, to be led by Harold._
_Wendy Borgartz PCC Secretary”_
## **Financial review**
Our total income on all funds during the year was £203,182 compared to £160,380 in 2019. This included a legacy of £96,598. Grant income comprised £28,849 received from Colchester Borough Council and £2,500 from the Fowler, Smith & Jones Trust in respect of the expenditure on extending the Church Extension. Grants of £5,000 Friends of Essex Churches and £1,500 from the All Church Trust were also received towards the cost of retiling the back of the church.
Our total expenditure for the year was £253,459 (2019: £138,811). General fund expenditure was £242,710 (2019 £120,544). Our contribution to the Diocese towards the costs of providing the stipends and housing for the clergy and providing the support and infrastructure of the Diocese of £56,606 (2019: £56,156) was paid in full. The major cost in the year was £149,830 spent on the extension to the church extension.
The expenses of the team administrator and other direct costs are recharged to the other team parishes in proportion to their Parish share. At the end of the year £4,476 (2019 £1,794) was still owing.
The net result for the year is an excess of payments over receipts in total of £50,277 over all funds of which unrestricted funds showed an excess of payments over receipts of £52,136. The total of unrestricted general funds carried forward is £75,887.
The accounts reflect the impact of Covid19 on church activities. For most of 2020 we were unable to let out the extension, fee income from weddings and funerals were reduced, and fundraising activities were not possible. Positively, our stewardship giving appears to have held up.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible) which equates to approximately 6 months unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations which may arise from time to time. The balance of £75,887, which includes designated funds meets this target.
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the vibrant community it is, and who work behind the scenes to maintain the fabric of the church, provide administrative support and do all the unseen jobs that need to be done.
Approved by the PCC on 9 February 2021 and signed on their behalf.

**PARISH OF TOLLESHUNT KNIGHTS WITH TIPTREE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements of the PCC have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts & Payments basis.
## **Funds**
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any special restriction regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC.
Where money has been received which has restrictions on how it may be spent, this is identified as a restricted fund and the reasons for the restriction noted. The bank balances in respect of these funds are shown separately.
The accounts include monetary transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC can be held responsible. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
Subject to the above, receipts and payments include income as received and expenditure when irrevocably paid.
## **Statement of Assets and Liabilities**
The following assets are recognised but not necessarily valued in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
- Movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal.
- Land and buildings held on behalf of the PCC.
- Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment where the PCC is free to dispose of such assets without faculty and where the original cost exceeded £1000.
The following assets are recognised and a monetary value given as part of the description in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
- Amounts owing to The PCC.
- Legacies where formal notification of entitlement and amount has been received at 31 December by the PCC.
- Investments held beneficially by the PCC.
Closing bank balances as shown in the receipts and payments account.
The following liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
- Any loans or overdrafts advanced to the PCC
- Creditors for goods and services where the supply has been received at 31 December.
## **Legacies**
The PCC regards all legacies left to St Luke’s Church as a gift to be gratefully received and wisely used. When a legacy is given for a specific purpose the PCC are required to use the legacy for this purpose. Where no restriction is placed on a legacy the money will be put into a designated fund within the General Fund of the PCC accounts to be used for a specific purpose or purposes. This purpose will be decided by the PCC following recommendations from the Finance and Stewardship Team or the Standing Committee.
- **2** The expenses paid to clergy may include a small immaterial proportion, which relates to their function as PCC members. PCC members receive reimbursement of certain legitimate expenses incurred. No PCC member receives any payment as a direct result of their being on the PCC. C Eastbrook (deputy churchwarden) receives fees from the PCC in respect of his duties as organist. The fees are set independently by the PCC in line with recommended fees from the Royal School of Church Music.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of the Parish of Tolleshunt Knights with Tiptree**
I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of the PCC and examiner**
The members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The PCC members consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act:
- To follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
- To 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 PCC 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 you as 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 financial statements 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
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.
