2020 Report for the Parochial Church Council of

St. Luke’s, Cannock and

St. Thomas’ Huntington

Building Community with Christ at the Centre

St. Luke’s and St. Thomas’ Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Rev. Vicky Fleming, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St. Luke’s Church Centre and St. Barnabas Hall, Hampton Street, Cannock.

The PCC is committed to working together better and enabling as many people as possible to worship in our churches and to become part of communities. Our services, worship and our many activities put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music, sacrament and outreach events. We maintain the fabric of our church property to facilitate this important work. Our strap-line, Building community with Christ at the Centre , sums up our aims and objectives.

The Covid Pandemic led to the disruption of services and all of our groups and meetings. Services were recorded and put on our website and Facebook pages. When we could open for private prayer we did this on a Wednesday with suggested prayers and meditations on the screens. We were able to have some services in church. Full risk assessments were carried out. The prayer diary continued to be produced and the magazine became digital. A pastoral care team has maintained contact with the housebound on their list.

With restrictions in place we were only able to conduct 5 baptisms, 1wedding, 27 funerals in our churches and 11 funerals at crematoria this year.

Vicar’s Report

This year has been particularly taxing with the Pandemic curtailing much of my ministry in the parish. I had to learn new technological skills very quickly so that I could record services at home and when we were able to open for worship in church. PCC meetings and much of the normal work of the church ceased but we were able to hold the APCM in October!!

I have been unable to get to know people and visiting has been virtually non existent. I did not have any contact numbers so that I could call and only towards of the end of the year was able to send a couple of letters to all the members of our churches on the electoral roll.

With our Administrator on furlough I produced the Pew News and maintained the website and Church Near You website with the able assistance of Sam Eldon who also maintained our Facebook page.

We are just coming out of lockdown as we prepare for the APCM and ‘normality’ is very slowly returning but things will not go back to how they were because so much has changed. We need to pray together and establish what the future can look like and this is a process I have started with the Standing Committee and PCC. I hope we will be able to draw together our relationships, take care of and support one another.

I would like to thank the members of the Standing Committee who were a great support and took on various extra responsibilities like doing risk assessments. Another person that has been a wonderful support and done so much for the church—beyond the roles for which he is employed— is Mike Heeley. The churchwardens have also been so helpful as we have worked together to keep the ‘show on the road’.

1

My gratitude and thanks to my husband, George is beyond words. He has delivered services and Bible Studies for me to record as well as being there for me in the most stressful of days,

My prayer is that we shall all continue to work together towards the vision of ‘ Building Community with Christ at the Centre’.

Everyone is important and has a role to play in the body of Christ in this area. Let us celebrate that and get to know one another as we build community with Christ at the centre.

Rev. Vicky Fleming

St. Luke’s Church, Cannock Wardens’ Report for 2020

Well, what a year!! I feel that I must begin this report by giving my thanks to Vicky and George for their commitment to providing online services and studies for us during this very difficult time. I am sure that this isn’t the start that they envisaged when they moved to Cannock. It is hoped that our congregations will come to know them better in the months ahead. My thanks also go to Gill, Di and David for their input during this year.

In between the lockdowns some services were held and I am pleased to say that, considering the situation, they were quite well attended. The Wednesday morning church opening was well received with George providing a videoed service that was shown in Church and then went online. The Sunday services were also videoed and put online along with the Pew News. Prior to the lockdown in November, Vicky presided over a very poignant Rosemary Memorial Service which was very well received by the people who had lost loved ones in the past year. It is anticipated that another such service will be held to commemorate the loss of loved ones during the pandemic and who could not be remembered in the way that families would have wished.

For most of the year the Church Centre has been closed and Donna has been on furlough. This, along with a drop in donations and stewardship funds, has caused us considerable hardship and its is hoped that in the future we will be able to recoup some of our funding by holding fundraising activities. All ideas welcome!

‘Zoom’ has been our friend this year. The Standing Committee and PCC have held their meetings this way and very successful coffee meetings are being held at 11.00 a.m. every Sunday. My thanks to Vicky for getting to grips with the technology.

At the time of writing, we are coming to the end of the third lockdown and looking forward to being able to hold our Easter Day service and our regular Sunday services. Here’s hoping for a better 2021!

Janice Middleton St. Luke’s Churchwarden

Wardens Report for St Thomas’ 2020

2020 was, of course, an incredibly quiet year due to Covid-19 and the National and local lockdowns imposed. We had few services or social events. This had financial as well as fellowship/social implications. Social events generally raise a good sum of money towards St Thomas’ finances and are usually very well attended.

A donation of £76.00 was made to Kathryn House Hospice in January, from donations from the congregation in lieu of sending individual Christmas cards to one another.

At the beginning of the year, we managed to hold our usual monthly Coffee Mornings for January, February and March. These made a total of £325.55 towards church funds.

We attended the tabletop sale at St Luke’s in January and held our own clearance sale in February, which made a total of £484.79 and help clear some items from our vestry!

Our final event for the year was our cheese and wine quiz evening on 13th March. This was very well attended and there was the usual banter and good humour. Little did we know it would be

2

our last event for 2020. We raised £273.00.

On Sunday 15th March we held a special service to say farewell to Rev Alex, who was moving to her own Parish in Derbyshire. We did of course have St Thomas’ customary “cake goodbye”, although the cake was cut and bagged ready for people to take away, as this was a couple of days before the first lockdown.

We were able to hold our Harvest Festival Service in October and the congregation very generously donated 12.05kg of food for the local Food Bank.

The repair work to the bell tower and porch were finally completed to the architect’s satisfaction. We hope to purchase a bell rope as a final touch to our refurbished bell when we are able.

Unfortunately, ‘Songs for You!’, singing sessions for Dementia sufferers had to be cancelled and their new sessions are now held online.

The virus has also meant that Holy Communion services at Ashcroft Hollow and to home communicants have also been halted.

While the church is closed, we have continued to keep in touch with our congregation by telephone and refer them to the online services provided by Vicky, George and others or to those provided by Lichfield Diocese.

During the year, no Baptisms took place; 1 Funeral was conducted in the church; No weddings took place.

The average Sunday attendance was 21 adults and 3 children.

The total worshipping community was 59 (2019 – 71).

Margaret Young and Tricia Archer, St. Thomas’ Churchwardens.

Treasurers’ Report for 2020

2020 proved to be a very difficult year financially with our parish assets being reduced by over £41,000 at St. Luke’s and £6,000 at St. Thomas’s. We were able to furlough both Donna and Teresa at various times but the loss of Church Centre hire fees, and of the Church Fete and Tree Festival, accounted for the increase in the loss from £29k in 2019. The St Thomas’s spend included final payments on their roof repairs which meant that they were unable to contribute to Parish Share and office costs.

It is pleasing to report, however, that we were able to pay our Parish Share of £75k, in full from St Luke’s funds. We were pleasantly surprised when this was reduced by the Diocese from the original £86k because of the pandemic.

Overall Giving to St. Luke’s, remarkably, stayed roughly at the same level as 2019 of £46k with contributions from envelopes, standing orders direct to church, standing orders through Giving Direct, JustGiving, the introduction of a contactless machine and cash donations. We are very grateful to those people who switched to giving by standing order which has considerably helped with cash flow.

St Barnabas Hall has had a successful year, mainly because the main hirer has continued to use the hall on a regular basis. They contributed over £5k to the overall funds.

At St Luke’s a majority decision was reluctantly made to reduce charitable and missionary giving by half to £3,750. This did not preclude paying the other half early in 2021 although the significant loss in 2020 would make this inadvisable.

The Share allocation for 2021 has been confirmed as ‘unchanged’ at £86,724, a very daunting challenge! With the need to find an extra £13,000 in Parish Share and, with the uncertainty over a full return to ‘normal’ activities, a loss of over £50k is likely. A further push to sign people up to

3

electronic giving and to the envelope scheme will be a priority.

Geoff Pick Treasurer

Church Centre Report

The Church Centre has suffered as a result of the restrictions and lockdowns imposed on us all. We are indebted to all concerned who have maintained the contact and support to those who have required assistance from the centre in these most challenging of times. Needless to say we are looking forward to some degree of normality when we can once again welcome back the various groups and organizations that bring such joy, satisfaction and income to our Church.

Ringing Masters’ Report 2020

In the early part of 2020 we were ringing 6 bells each Sunday morning. This continued for a few weeks but then, under lockdown, Sunday ringing had to be restricted to 5 ringers on bells 2,4,6,8,10 and with practice nights suspended. Ultimately, when we were reclassified as Tier 3, ringing stopped completely.

It is hoped that we can resume in the next few months without restriction. Our numbers are declining and it remains to be seen whether we still have any younger ringers after the resumption. Recruitment will be essential although it is not easy to see how this can be easily achieved.

St. Luke’s Friendship Group – 2020-21

As the Church Centre has been closed since the first lockdown, Margaret Walker and I wished to keep in touch with our members. Apart from ‘phone calls we started to hold “Zoom” meetings every Monday morning for those who were able to access this. On average there were 6-10 people meeting each week.

During 2020 we had a successful virtual McMillan coffee morning, making just over £247.00 for the charity.

During the Zoom meetings we have done quizzes, bingo and even managed to bake (in the microwave) a chocolate cake in a mug. We even learned a little sign language, although I must confess without general use I have forgotten most of the signs.

The large quantity of knitted hats, vests and blankets did not make it to South African but they will be going to other local causes. I.e. premature baby units.

Finally, we all wish to thank Margaret for her efforts in setting up the Zoom meetings and doing a monthly report for the Parish Magazine.

I am sure we are all looking forward to starting our meetings again in the Church Centre in the near future.

Linda Hopley

Mother’s Union

The last year has been unusual in that although we had a full diary for the year with speakers/ lunches etc we were unable to meet after March with everything that happened with Covid and the restrictions that were put in place to protect everyone.

4

We managed to have three meetings up till March starting with our AGM in January and the committee remain the same with myself as Branch Leader, Mary Towers as Treasurer and Janet Anderson as Secretary. February was our fish and chip lunch which was well attended and we had Julie Perry from Jackson Perry talking about wills and powers of attorney for the March meeting. We were unable to have any further meetings due to the lockdown.

Since this happened we have tried to keep in touch with everyone by telephone and have occasionally seen friends when things eased a little. We weren’t able to have any M U meetings at Doxey but these were carried out by Zoom. I did manage to attend some of them with some technical help from my daughter and it was certainly a new experience for me.

I hope that things begin to improve now that we have the vaccine and it won’t be too long before we can all meet up again with our monthly meetings in the church centre and have our Wednesday morning coffee. I can’t see restrictions being lifted for us to have our Ploughman’s lunch in April but all being well we will be able to have our Harvest lunch in September. Let’s all look forward to better times ahead.

Madeline Farnell, Branch Leader

Choir report

The unfortunate events of 2020 saw the closure of St Luke’s and with it the inability of the choir to meet for rehearsals and services. Even when services were allowed, singing was not, so for us as a choir we felt the effects of lockdown on not only our daily life, but also our personal and spiritual well-being. We do have a WhatsApp group where we can share items of news, be they personal or church related.

Towards the end of the year, we were able to meet, following the rule of six, for a couple of rehearsals, with a view to singing at the Midnight service on Christmas Eve. Very stringent Health and Safety measures were in place and we managed to sing in the choir stalls for the service, following strict social distancing rules. This made singing harmony parts very difficult, but we were so glad to be able to be with Vicky and a few members of the congregation for this special service. It was difficult to remember to replace our face masks after every hymn!

Looking forward, Vicky has recorded us singing a few hymns for her to put on the online services, and we hope that those members of the congregation who watch these, will be pleased to hear our voices once again. Vicky has asked that we sing at an Easter Sunday service, and we look forward to another rehearsal in the not too distant future.

We look forward to the day when we can once again sing together our hymns and settings of the service.

Jane Coxon

Associate Ministers Report

2020 has been a strange year for us all. When I reflect on the events of the last 12 months of my ministry I realize that I’m not sure what a normal year looks like for me. In fact, in the 4 years of my ministry every year has meant adapting to the changes and challenges of church life. When I had my end of Curacy interview with Bishop Clive he asked me what areas of ministry I might want to take forward, I was at a complete loss, as I’d not had chance to think about that!

2020 was also the year I successfully completed my Curacy and I am now a fully fledged P/T non -stipendiary Assistant Curate (OLM). I also managed to complete my BA degree in Theology and I will receive my final marking sometime in May this year. My thanks to the wardens and congregations of St Luke’s, St Thomas’ and St Saviour’s for supporting me in completing this.

5

Having welcomed Vicky to our Parish I was looking forward to everything settling down and perhaps taking time to consider what areas my ministry might take. But, as we all know if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans!

2020 the year of lockdowns and church closures. Whilst we have not been able to meet as a church this year, my ministry has rather surprisingly focused on ministering to my work colleagues. I belong to a team of Criminal intelligence Analysts, who are normally based in offices across England and Wales. A week before the first national lockdown we were sent home to work and designated key workers. The first 3 months involved quickly adapting to new work, supporting the processing of the increased Universal Credit Claims, and coping with lockdown. But in this strangest of years we have gown together as a team in a way that would never have happened had we still been office based. We have been supporting each other mentally and emotionally and we have got to know each other. Colleagues have opened up to me and each other in ways that would have been unheard of, previously. My expertise as a vicar has been sought after and not just for the Christmas Quiz! In the later part of the year I have been supporting 9 new members of the team arranging their training. So for me this year has been one of emotional and mental intensity

At the start of 2021 I was invited by the Rural Dean to be a part of Rugeley Deanery’s Strategic Review, along with three other clergy and guided by a Diocesan Adviser. This is part of the Diocese’s Shaping for Mission. “Traditionally, deaneries has had two roles: to provide governance for the diocese; and to provide a support network for those in ministry”. To this role, the Diocese has now added to “discern the mission of the church in their area”. This review began in 2020, and from Easter we will begin looking at vision-setting. Later in the year the Bishop and senior staff will begin the process of translating our vision into action and aligning resources accordingly.

Inevitably people will think this is a cost cutting exercise. But even before the Pandemic the cost of ministry was becoming unsustainable, and a review of resources was inevitable. Churches have been asked about their current missionary activities and their vison for the future This way, the review allows churches to have some say in what they see as their mission, and how it can be resourced and as a Deanery we can perhaps see where joint working or resources can be focussed. The Diocese has made a commitment to fund current resources until 2023. We are fully aware that church will be different once we come out of the current situation and our activities will inevitably change, so to some extent until June it may be difficult to say which activities we wish to or even able to start up again; or even what direction we see our ministry and mission going.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 Charity registration number 1157373

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

Charity Law 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 its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

Governance and Management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. PCC members are elected annually from those on the Electoral Roll. It has been formally agreed by that the PCC will consist of 17 members in total, elected from both churches.

Objectives, Activities and Achievements

Public Benefit statement

The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in the administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Cannock and Huntington, it helps to promote the whole

7

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

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months’ unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £47,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves (including designated) at the year end was £59,968, which is higher than this target. There are no funds that are in deficit at the year end.

Safeguarding

The PCC believe that they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

Risks

The income for 2020 is substantially lower than in previous years due to the impact of the Covid19 pandemic. This has affected most of the income streams, but most significantly giving, hall and centre hire, wedding and funeral fees, and fund raising. The result of this was a deficit for 2020 of £69,000 on unrestricted funds. Although there are substantial accumulated unrestricted funds at the moment, they will quickly get depleted if the church remains closed or in restrictions.

Related Parties

Donations from Related Parties

Donations from related parties during the year totalled £5,500. All these donations were received without conditions.

Remuneration paid to Trustees

None of the trustees have been paid any remuneration or received any other benefits from employment with the PCC.

Expenses paid to Trustees

1 trustee was reimbursed £851.87 for travel and subsistence during the year.

Investment Policy

The charity is granted power to invest in suitable investments under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the Trustees Act 2000. As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to take such

8

advice as is appropriate before investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance (CCLA) in London, the Diocesan Office in Lichfield.

The charity’s investment policies are based on two key principles: -

 Ethical Investment – this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high standards of corporate governance and act in a responsible way towards stakeholders. Long -term responsibilities – the trustees are aware of their long-term responsibilities in respect of the Restricted and Unrestricted reserves and as a result follow a prudent approach to investment decisions.

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.

oncern

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

ance Sheet Events

The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 virus represents a significant event since the end of the financial year. The Charity has reviewed its cash flow forecasts and considered the impact on going concern, concluding that the going concern basis remains an appropriate basis of preparation for these financial statements given the likely cash flow impact of operations for 12 months from the date of signing this report. COVID-19 is considered to be a non-adjusting post year end – for accruals) event and therefore has not been taken into account in preparing these Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019.

ing 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.

ion of Funds

Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC 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.

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. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

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.

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.

ture

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.

nce and Support Costs

Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

sets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included from the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable 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.

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remianing useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.

Other tangible fixed assets, relating to small fixtures and fittings within the church, are valued at historical cost. All items are now fully depreciated and have been disposed of during the year. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 7.

ents

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 are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash expected to be received.

s and Accruals

Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees/members of the PCC of Cannock and Huntington

Registered Charity number: 1157373

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 which are set out on the following pages.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility

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 give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

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.
