Report of the PCC
Our vision: Live | Pray | Serve
As part of the Portsmouth Diocese the parish adopted the Live | Pray | Serve vision in 2016, and it has guided our thinking ever since. As a church family, we want to equip people to live as disciples of Christ; to pray , individually and together as a worshipping community; and to serve those living in our local neighbourhood. As part of this process, we are seeking growth in depth of discipleship, our impact on society and the numbers of those who are becoming disciples of Christ. We seek to achieve this by: -
Growing in Depth:
-
sharing a prayerful Rhythm of Life where our Christian faith inspires all our relationships and actions;
-
celebrating an Identity in Christ , where we speak of what God has called us to be, and how our vocation fits alongside the calling of others;
-
offering a Generous Stewardship of our time, resources and finances, and appreciation of the gifts and beliefs of others.
Growing in Impact:
-
working towards the Re-purposing of our Church Buildings in a way that serves our community,
-
creating churches as the Focal Point of the Community , bringing people together in reconciliation;
-
empowering Christians to play a central role in Preserving God’s Creation through environmental sustainability.
Growing in Number:
-
inspiring Christians to Speak Vibrantly about Faith and share their experiences joyfully;
-
creating Fresh Ways to Explore Faith , through digital communities, pioneering communities and new ways of being church that fit the local context.

Structure and Governance
The Parochial Church Council of All Saints’ (the PCC) in the ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints’ Botley in Hampshire is a body corporate established by the Church of England and is governed by the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956. The PCC has the responsibility for working with the Rector in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical within the ecclesiastical parish. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission (number 1160056).
Under the Charities Act 2011, the PCC is required to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have taken account of the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Our assessment is that we have met the public benefit criteria under the ‘advancement of religion’ charitable purpose. In addition, the Trustees believe that its support of Botley Primary school fulfils the ‘advancement of education’ purpose and that some of the non-devotional aspects of its church activities fulfil the ‘community development’ purpose.
The Rector Revd. Gregg Mensingh serves three parishes including the parishes of St Peter’s Curdridge and Holy Cross Durley which together form ‘BCD Churches’. The Rector is assisted in his role by Rev. Richard Wharton who conducts services on a voluntary basis and Mrs Janet Clark a lay reader, together with a number of retired clergy and lay readers from the Diocese. The three parishes share clergy expenses and the cost of parish administration.
Churchwardens
The parish currently has only one churchwarden - Mr Stephen Townsend. The Director of Music Mr David Burgess has been designated a deputy churchwarden.
PCC membership

Financial review
The attached financial statements show a surplus for the year on the General Fund of £9,840 compared with the surplus of £3,496 in 2020. In addition, generous donations from members of the congregation and fundraising for the organ, roof and tower repairs increased Designated Funds by £8,942 and Restricted Funds by 14,221. Overall, our funds increased by £22,898 net of depreciation charges, although it is anticipated that these additional resources will be expended on repairs over the coming 12 months.
Although we anticipated that church activities would return to normal during the year, the emergence of Covid-19 variances meant that church services were conducted under significant restrictions for much of the year and other activities were substantially reduced. Notwithstanding these difficulties, our congregation maintained their generosity and fundraising activities (including Summer, Michaelmas and Advent markets and Carols in the Churchyard) proved to be very successful. Our coffee mornings resumed and sales at auction of donated items realised over £1,800 for the roof repairs.
As planned, we asked members of the congregation to consider converting their annual All Saints’ Gift Day donations to regular gift-aided donation by standing order. The majority of donors agreed and, together with other increased giving, this meant that regular gift-aided giving increased by over 30%, more than offsetting the reduction in Gift Day income.
Once again, there were savings in church maintenance costs and the limitations of face-to-face meetings, and hence travel, substantially reduced clergy expenses. However, the largest saving was in our Parish Share which unexpectedly fell by £8,000 but will increase again in future years to its former level. The PCC was able to maintain the level of our charitable and other giving.
In light of the economic uncertainties, the PCC last year set three primary financial objectives for 2021: -
1. To break even on General Fund
- This objective was substantially exceeded although, as explained above, much of the surplus was a function of our much-reduced Parish Share requirement.
2. To develop a plan to encourage more members of the congregation to include provision for a legacy in their wills.
The plan was developed but will only be implemented this year as congregation numbers increase again.

3. Re-assess plans for the building repair and refurbishment works identified in the quinquennial inspection report.
During the year, the PCC concluded that its plans for the refurbishment of the Church Room should be deferred pending the completion of urgent quinquennial and organ repairs.
Our financial objectives for 2022 are to: -
-
1) Ensure that we can build our net income to allow us to meet our ‘normal’ Parish Share
-
2) Roll-out our legacy programme
-
3) Fundraise so that we can complete the urgent roof and tower repairs identified as a result of the quinquennial inspection.
Reserves
The PCC maintains three different categories of reserve: -
Restricted Reserves – These are funds resulting from donations or other sources which were received on condition, or understanding, that they are to be applied for a specific purpose. They are not available to be used for other purposes. The largest two of these are the Organ fund (£14,551) and the Fabric (restricted) Fund (£53,960, both of which will be used in due course for planned major repairs. Organ Repairs are likely to cost in the region of £60,000. Pending clarification of likely costs of roof and other fabric repairs, the PCC has no target level for the Fabric Fund.
Designated Reserves - These are ‘unrestricted’ reserves which the PCC has earmarked (‘designated’) for specific purposes indicated by their titles. Given the nature of most of these funds, their quantum is dictated by the medium-term plans for which they were established. The PCC is seeking quotations for the cost of the major roof and tower repair work identified by the most recent quinquennial inspection report and will then develop a fundraising project with a set target.
The Fabric (designated) fund (£12,517) will be used towards these repair costs. The balance on the Church Room Project fund (£13,395) will be applied in the repair of the roof and other parts of the Church Room. The PCC agreed in September that, since regular mission expenditure is included within its General Fund budgets and it has no immediate plans for the application of the bequest previously designated as the Mission Fund, the balance on that Fund (£26,106) will be applied towards the roof and tower repairs, with the expectation that it will be partially reinstated in due course from surpluses on General Fund.
General Reserve
The General Reserve represents surpluses that have been built up in previous years and is held as a buffer against the possibility of future adverse financial experience. It is the PCC’s objective, whenever possible, to maintain a balance on its General Fund which represents at least three months’ annual unrestricted expenditure. The balance on the General Fund at 31 December 2021 stood at £25,241 and thus the target was met.
Fixed Asset Fund
This reflects the cost of the extension to the church constructed in 2007 which was financed by a the Maffey bequest and a combination of other fund raising and grants. Since the assets supporting the fund are not liquid and the Fund cannot be realised the PCC has no policy for this fund.

Finally, enormous thanks are due to all those who committed to regular giving or increased their giving during the year and to those have made one-off donations in addition to all who continue to fundraise for our planned repairs.

Rector’s Report
I want to begin my report, by saying just how good it is to have the new Bishop of Portsmouth in place. Bishop Jonathan Frost was installed on the 12 March and has already made it his stated aim for the churches in our diocese to reach out to young people and connect them with the resources of faith and the message of Jesus. What a challenge to us all, but what a great place to start!
Last year when I sat down to write my Rector’s report for the APCM, we were just beginning to come out of the third national lockdown, a time of stress and anxiety and indeed loss for many across the nation. We are coming to terms with living with the reality of COVID and government statistics have revealed that in the last week of March alone 1 in 13 people in the country were probably infected. Mercifully, the vaccines have prevented most of these people from being hospitalised. All of this means that we must still exercise caution in the way we gather, minister and reach out in our villages.
As we came out of the third lockdown many were beginning to wonder what we would do with our Zoom services. We have learned so much from our foray and exploration in worshipping online together across BCD. A great many in our congregations had enjoyed the online format and so with this in mind a decision was made to keep the 10 a.m. service, on the first Sunday of each month, online. We still regularly attract 60+ worshippers when this happens with people participating and leading using laptops, computers, tablets, smartphones and by telephone (we post the service). There is an 8 a.m. service for those who wish to attend an “in person” act of worship.
The Remembrance service two years ago had to be held online due to the need to keep people safe. Thankfully, this year we were able to hold our Remembrance Sunday service in the usual way. People were very appreciative that we were once again able to meet in person for this very important national act of worship. Thanks to Julia Hayes and all who assisted her in arranging for the railings to be beautifully decorated with poppies.
Christmas is a hugely important occasion for our church. Since the annual Carols in the Square event was cancelled, a small team of us put together an alternative “Carols in the Churchyard”. There were stalls selling mulled wine, tea and coffee, minces pies, a BBQ and we even had our own label “All Saints’ Christmas Ale”. All of this was made possible with generous sponsorship from businesses on the High Street and a good number of kind village volunteers.
Two years ago, we were unable to host our usual Christmas services because of the pandemic. This meant that everything had to be streamed so that we could reach out with the good news of Christ’s birth. This year we were able once again to invite the community to our Stir Up, Crib, Midnight Mass and Christmas Day services. Although numbers were down, many commented on how wonderful it was to be back for these important religious festivals.
We always round off the Christmas season with our Christingle service and this year we were supported by the school choir and good numbers of children from our church school with their parents for All Age worship. One of our school foundation governors, Felicity Poole, organised mince pies and hot dogs outside to round off our time together.
It’s hard for us to imagine but the last time we were able to celebrate Easter in our churches was 3 years ago. Easter worship will happen in all three churches and there will no doubt be a great sense of joy at being able to do this again. It will kick off with our Palm Sunday service preceded by the procession to All Saints It will be a delight that children from our C of E church school will lead the reading of the Passion gospel.

The relationship between our school and our church is one that we must never take for granted and we must continually look for ways to strengthen it. The school is at the heart of our village, and I would urge us all to pray for its children, staff and head teacher Joe Cooil - everyday. To have our own church school is a gift. In addition to the Rector, foundation governors are normally selected from among the congregation, but we are now sadly at the point where we have had to source two of our three allotted governors from other churches. While disappointing, we are however extremely fortunate that we have Felicity Poole from among us as a foundation governor.
As part of the whole governing body foundation governors ensure that the school’s Christian ethos is maintained to guide not only the education of the children but the way in which they are shaped and formed through Christian principles and specifically Anglican spirituality. Felicity has driven forward the introduction of ‘Reflection’ areas in each classroom where children can write prayers, reflect upon and explore issues “in the moment.” It is a wonderful resource that enables teachers to nurture children’s spirituality and interactions with each other.
She is also playing a vital role in working with the head to ensure that the school is ready for its 5 yearly SIAMS inspection (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools). The table in the foyer shows all the work we’ve done to enhance the children’s knowledge of Christian faith since the last inspection.
Julia Hayes, our art coordinator, is also playing a deepening role in the life of the school. She has enabled a whole school approach to making artistic contributions which can be seen on the church railings and in the school. Julia is a familiar face in school, and I know she delights in finding the children very willing to engage at break and lunchtimes with Christian themes through artwork. We are grateful that whole school collective worship (assemblies) is now once again happening “in person” and that for the first time in 3 years, the whole school were in church for the school Easter service. Felicity has again organised the Botley Easter Trail, a partnership between the school and the church. . I know that the school children are really looking forward to claiming their prize chocolate Easter eggs courtesy of the The Dolphin pub.
Because of the pandemic and the unique challenges that it poses for interaction between children and adults our children’s work has not yet restarted as hoped. Our Church School Days, a rolling programme of Christian Education where every year group of the school comes to the church once a year is due to restart soon. We have Marion Bishop to thank for this massive contribution to the education and spiritual life of our school children. The plan is that Messy Church will meet 4 times a year, but we need to make sure that our fantastic older members feel able to return to this ministry. One of them is 90 years old – so there is no excuse for anyone else! Without their contribution it will not be possible.
Fund raising of course is very important for the life of our church (as it is for all three churches). We need to fix our church roof which is going to require dedicated effort. In this respect we are enormously grateful for all who coordinate our monthly church coffee mornings which regularly raise well over £250 at each session. Even so, those who run it are adamant that it’s not about the money. Rather it’s about positive relationships and wellbeing. Everything else comes as a consequence of this motivation.
In fact, virtually everything that is done by our church brings us into contact with hundreds of people. We must do more to raise the profile of our church in Botley. In this respect we are grateful to Elspeth Lamb for the publicity and posters that she designs for all the events which take place. All of us must be more prayerfully invitational if our church is to grow. I know members who regularly invite people to church and more of us could do the same. We have to do more to translate the encounters that we already have with people into church growth.

Which is why on the 19 March this year we had our joint BCD PCC's vision day. Before they met, they had a small amount of homework to do about what they considered to be the most important priorities moving forward for all three churches. The morning ended with us having discerned three new mission priorities for the next two years:
-
The first is a desire to grow our congregation in depth enabling the existing congregation to have a deeper understanding of their faith.
-
The second will help us to grow in impact on our community by addressing the need for youth work with the possibility a youth worker working across all three parishes. This precisely links with Bishop Jonathan’s challenge that the Diocese deliberately engages with young people.
-
The third is figuring out how we engage with those who don’t consider themselves to be religious or spiritual in any way, encouraging them to consider faith and purpose in life.
The three groups will be taking the work forward over the next two years. We believe that God has called us to pursue these priorities to encourage a new generation of people that God is calling into a relationship with himself.
There are many in our congregation who make the church’s presence a reality in our village and further afield, so I want to thank every one of them, but I won't fall into the trap of missing anyone out and instead say that I am proud of all that has been accomplished over the past year under still difficult conditions. On behalf of us all thanks to Stephen our Churchwarden and all the members of the PCC who support me in my ministry. Huge thanks too are owed to their spouses who support them in their duties.

Independent Examiner’s report to the PCC of All Saints’ Church Botley
I report on the financial statements of All Saints’ Church for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 11 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The PCC members as charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees 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:
-
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
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 financial statements 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value (unless otherwise disclosed) using the accruals basis of accounting and in accordance with: -
-
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102);
-
The Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (Charities SORP); and
-
The Charities Act 2011
The financial statements include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC has responsibility. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe an affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. They are presented in £Sterling.
Charitable Funds
The PCC accounts on a Fund basis where income from different sources is allocated to different funds which are then applied according to their separate purpose. As prescribed by the SORP, the following categories of Fund are used: -
Restricted Funds - These are restricted to the purpose for which they were raised, or by the conditions placed on the relevant donation or bequest. They cannot be applied for any other purpose.
Designated Funds - These are ‘unrestricted’ funds which, although available for any purpose within the broad charitable objectives of the PCC, have been designated by the PCC to be held and applied for specific purposes.
General Funds - These are unrestricted funds which are generally available for any purpose within the PCC’s charitable objectives.
Accounting Policies
Incoming Resources
-
Incoming resources from Donors : - Offerings at services and donations by bank transfer or cheque are recognised when received. Amounts receivable which attract Gift Aid are recognised when paid and the related income tax recovery is accrued in the same period.
-
Income for operating activities is recognised when the activity takes place.
-
Grants and Legacies are recognised when the PCC is notified of its entitlement and the amount to be received is certain.
-
Parish magazine subscriptions and advertising revenue received in advance are deferred and matched with the related publications.
-
Fees due to the PCC for weddings and funerals are accounted for when the relevant ceremony takes place.
-
Income from Investments is accounted for when receivable.

Resources Expended
-
Grants and donations are accounted for when approved by the PCC .
-
Other costs attributable to the activities of the church, the administration thereof and parish’s share of the Diocesan costs are accounted for as they fall due.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings are inalienable property, which are vested in the Diocese and are thus not valued in these financial statements.
New land and buildings acquired are capitalised and depreciated over their expected useful life or 50 years (whichever is less). In accordance with the SORP, assets acquired in prior periods which have not previously been capitalised have not been revalued and are therefore not reflected in these financial statements.
Other Fixtures and equipment used within the church is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its normal useful life. Individual items with a purchase cost of £1,000 or less are charged directly to the Statement of Financial Activities on purchase.
