GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Tidenham Parochial Church Council (The PCC) is a body corporate established by the Church of England. All PCCs are governed by two pieces of Church of England legislation, called Measures:

Aims and purposes

All PCC members are Trustees of the charity. The PCC is responsible for: -

Objectives and activities

The PCC seeks to promote the whole mission of the church by engaging in activities including: -

Grant making is not a primary activity. However as part of its charitable purpose of promoting the whole mission of the Church, the PCC makes grants to other charitable organisations with complementary activities which help us achieve our purpose.

Public Benefit - Engaging with the community

In planning the activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Built into the parish vision is a commitment to ‘doing relationship well’ and therefore a strong emphasis is placed on building community, loving engagement and wellbeing within the Parish. In particular we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: -

PCC Structure

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. It consists of both ex-officio and elected members, and all members have full charity trustee responsibilities.

Ex-Officio PCC members

Tidenham PCC consists of the following ex officio members: the vicar, two churchwardens, curates, readers and Deanery Synod Representatives.

Trustees’ Report 2022

14 March 2023

Page 3 of 17

Tidenham Parochial Church Council

Forest South Deanery Synod

Three church members are elected every three years at the APCM to sit on Forest South Deanery Synod and become ex-officio members of the PCC. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the Church. Deanery Synod members were elected at the 2020 APCM for a 3-year term.

Electing PCC members

In addition, twelve ordinary PCC members are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) by those members of the congregation who are on the church electoral roll of the parish. PCC members are elected for a 3-year term, with a third of members elected each year. The PCC may co-opt up to two additional members as necessary.

The APCM must be well advertised and held by 31 May each year using a standard agenda. It was duly held in Tidenham church on Sunday 08 May 2022. As the Annual accounts for 2021 had not been independently examined by that date, the Bishop of Gloucester authorised a Special Parochial Church Meeting in Tidenham church on Sunday 25 September when the annual accounts for 2021, which had by that date been independently examined, were presented to parishioners.

Church Electoral Roll of Tidenham Parish

All those who attend services in the Parish are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll, which is reviewed each year by the PCC prior to the APCM. Church members are encouraged to stand for election to the PCC, if they have the appropriate gifts, skills and commitment to contribute to the spiritual life of the parish and the management of the church’s affairs.

The Church Representation Rules require each PCC to create a completely new church electoral roll every six years, and this was duly achieved during January and February 2019 in advance of the 2019 APCM.

At 01 January 2022 there were 182 people on the church electoral roll, of whom 137 lived in the parish. The roll was revised in April 2022 in advance of the scheduled APCM. At 31 December 2022 there were 182 people on the church electoral roll, of whom 132 live in the parish.

PCC Management

PCC Meetings and sub-committees

The full PCC met eight times during 2022 (all in person) with an average attendance of 58%. Safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection are mandatory topics for the agenda. Once signed the Minutes are public documents and are available from the PCC Secretary. Highlights of the PCC meetings are published in the Link church magazine.

Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These sub-committees, which include buildings, finance and charity giving, are responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly.

The PCC has also authorised certain church members to be responsible for particular areas of church activity, such as safeguarding, health and safety, pastoral visiting, liaison with Tutshill Church of England primary school, visiting families to prepare for baptism, and care home services. The members of these committees and post holders are reviewed each year at the first PCC meeting after the APCM.

CHURCH BUILDINGS

General

To facilitate our activities it is important that we maintain the fabric of the three church buildings in the parish. In November and December our church architect undertook the Quinquennial Inspections of our buildings. As part of this process a drone survey was conducted for the first time. All work arising from the 5-yearly fixed wiring inspections carried out in 2022 by an NICEIC-approved contractor was completed.

Tutshill church

The recently re-ordered main church building has required no significant work this year. The PA desk was completed in January; our Broadband connection went live in July and a new portable altar was consecrated by Bishop Robert in October.

Tidenham church

Tidenham church has required no significant work this year. The PCC continued to develop plans to repair the tower and in November submitted its request for a faculty to the DAC. The PCC is supporting the Friends of Tidenham in their ongoing scheme to reorder the north aisle.

Tidenham Chase church has required no significant work this year.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Covid 19 Crisis

Although all UK Government’s legal restrictions ceased on 19 July 2021, their extensive guidance and that of the Church of England centrally and Gloucester Diocese meant that church life and activities were far from normal as we started the new year. Responsibility for determining what could be done in each parish rested with the incumbent, and Revd David took that responsibility very seriously, very ably assisted by his churchwardens. Although there was a blip of Covid cases in December 2021, the situation had eased by the end of January 2022, such that Revd David Treharne issued a public notice, setting out the measures to be implemented at all of our public acts of worship. This meant that we restarted congregational singing and holy communion [in one kind] albeit with everyone still wearing masks.

Access to care homes was still limited and indeed our regular services at Care homes did not restart during 2022 due both to Covid, and staff shortages and other illnesses at the care home.

Communion in both kinds was not offered until Pentecost – 5[th] June.

It is still the case that by the end of the year a number of previously regular churchgoers did not feel able to return to public worship.

Public Benefit - Access to Church buildings

St Luke's Tutshill and Tidenham Chase were both open to the public on 3 days a week for personal prayer, and access to Tidenham church can be provided on request to the Administration Assistant or churchwardens. The churches may be used for community purposes. Local Schools and the local nursery can and do use the Church for regular acts of worship during term time and for other services during the year.

Public Benefit - Worship and Prayer

Public worship is conducted by those licensed and authorised to do so by the Bishop of Gloucester, which as well as the incumbent, curates and readers of Tidenham Parish listed on page 2, includes Revd David Rees, an Ordained Local Minister from St Briavels and Hewelsfield.

All three churches in the parish held a public Christian worship service each Sunday with additional services at Tutshill and Tidenham during the week.

Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and, through funeral services, friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in the world and to commend the person into God’s keeping. We celebrated 12 baptisms; 5 weddings and we held 26 funerals in our churches and at local crematori ~~a~~ ~~.~~

Parishioners are encouraged to learn about the Gospel, and to develop their knowledge and trust in Jesus, not only through teaching during services, but also by joining one of the small ‘Life groups’ which met regularly once again in person to discuss the Christian faith and how it affects their lives. Unfortunately the annual quiet day usually organised in Spring at Ty Mawr Convent, had to be cancelled for a third year.

Public Benefit - Pastoral Care

Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. The ordained ministers are assisted in the pastoral work by a pastoral visiting team, whose usual activities, providing pastoral care in local hospitals and via home visits to the bereaved, sick, elderly and housebound, are still not back to normal. We were once again able to hold the monthly lunches at the local Woodcroft Christian Centre, which offered social activity for senior residents of the parish, but we were unable to restart the fortnightly visits to a local care home.

In person activities were run for children and teenagers to help them explore Christianity in a fun and engaging way. We managed to restart our weekly in person sessions for our Parish baby and toddlers groups.

The Wellbeing Chaplain spends the equivalent of one day a week at Sedbury Space, and visits many people both in their homes and places of work and liaises with the community police and social services.

Mission and Evangelism

The PCC’s commitment to Mission and evangelism was demonstrated by its continued support of the full-time Youth, Children and Families (YCF) Missioner and part-time Wellbeing Chaplain, both of whom made presentations to the PCC. The YCF Missioner takes a monthly assembly at a local primary school and collaborated with the Parish Council Youth worker and Sportily to offer a comprehensive suite of activities for local youth during the summer.

The Parish produces a 'weekly briefing' for members and the wider community which is circulated on email, posted on the Parish website and placed at the back of each church. Easter cards designed by members of the congregation were again delivered to every home in the Parish. The Parish Christmas card was delivered to Royal Mail who sadly failed to deliver any of the cards. YouTube and Facebook posts reached well beyond the usual church membership.

The Link, our parish magazine, has reverted to become a printed magazine issued 4 times this year, but it is also available via the parish website.

The church website provides information about our church buildings, life events, contact details and a comprehensive calendar of events.

During the year, the PCC gave £2,882 (2021: £1,373) to a range of other charitable causes in the local community, nationally and throughout the world.

Ecumenical Relationships

As we are located right on the Welsh border, we are a member of the Chepstow-based Churches Together in Wales (Cytûn), participating in foodbank collections and Christians Against Poverty.

STAFF

Paid Staff

During 2022 the PCC employed a number of full and part-time staff: -

Volunteers The PCC relies almost entirely on volunteers to carry out its objectives, and thanks them for all they do to make our church in the Parish of Tidenham the active and vibrant community that it is.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The PCC has a duty to identify and review the risks to which the church is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against those risks.

Safeguarding

The church engages in activities with children and young people and may come into contact with vulnerable people in the course of its pastoral ministry. The PCC has reconfirmed its acceptance of the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Parish Safeguarding Handbook.

The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to The House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

The PCC has arranged for all trustees to undertake the mandatory domestic abuse training or obtain an exemption. Most members have successfully completed their training in 2022, but a few members are outstanding. The PCC was compliant by 28 February 2023.

The PCC has a safeguarding policy for working with children and young adults and a separate safeguarding policy for working with vulnerable adults. These key policies are reviewed, revised and reissued each year, usually at the first PCC meeting after the APCM.

The Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) ensured that:

There was one new safeguarding incident during 2022, which was reported to all the relevant agencies

Insurance

The PCC has insurance policies covering both its church buildings and its activities. It has comprehensive health and safety policies, which are reviewed each year, and a contract for the provision and annual maintenance of fire extinguishers in its buildings.

Data Protection

The PCC has always taken its responsibilities for data protection very seriously, and issued a privacy notice in January 2022 as part of its review of the church electoral roll. The PCC has reviewed the data it holds and believes it complies with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018. No data protection issues were recorded during 2022.

FINANCE REVIEW

Total receipts (i.e. income) on the General Fund were £93,719 (2021:£95,042) (2020: £86,698) a 1.4% decrease year on year. Total General Fund voluntary receipts of £76,248 (2021:£80,092) (2020:£76,583) decreased by 4.8%. Income from the recovery of Gift Aid: £8,547 was down £7,767 (48%) over 2021: £16,314.

The amount spent from the General Fund to provide Christian Ministry throughout the Parish was £100,175 (2021: £91,560) (2020: £92,143), an increase of 9.4% on the previous year. The Diocesan Parish share of £68,292 (2021 & 2020 : £64,428 & £64,427 respectively) was paid in full during the year. At £26,196 Church running costs were up 32.3% compared with the previous Covid affected year (2021 £19,805), including utility costs of £7,561 (2021 £7,495) (2020 £4,999). A refund of £3,843 was received from SSE during the year. The present fixed price contract with SSE ends in December 2023. Insurance costs during the year were £4,308 (2021 £4,296) (2020 £3,931). There were no Building Repairs and improvements paid from the General Fund in 2022.

Reserves Policy After a comprehensive revision in 2021, the reserves policy remains unchanged requiring the PCC to maintain a reserve of £20,000 in its General Fund and £5,000 between the main Restricted Funds being YC&F and Wellbeing Project and Wellbeing Chaplain.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Members of

Tidenham Parochial Church Council

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 10 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

As trustees of the charity, the members of the Parochial Church Council (“ PCC ”) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (" the 2011 Act ”) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

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 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 matter has come to my attention:

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting policies

As the PCC’s gross income is below £250,000, apart from the exceptional one-off legacy of £120,000 for the restoration of Tidenham church tower, the PCC has made use of the exemption in s.133 of the Charities Act 2011 to prepare a receipts and payments account and a statement of assets and liabilities. The PCC expects its gross revenue for 2023 and subsequent years will not exceed £250,000. Receipts are included as received and expenditure when irrevocably paid. The financial statements are therefore not prepared on an accruals basis, and thus are outside the scope of the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006. They include monetary transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC can be held responsible. They do not include the accounts of other church groups that owe an affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Restricted funds represent income which can only be spent for specific purposes, which are set out in note 10. The restrictions arise when specified by a donor, or when funds are raised for a specific purpose.

Unrestricted funds represent the remaining funds of the PCC which are not restricted, and may be spent as the PCC wishes in accordance with the objectives of the charity. The PCC may designate certain unrestricted funds for particular uses, such as an upcoming project, and such designated funds are not included in its free reserves.
