## SARISBURY PARISH ## ST PAUL’S, SARISBURY ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 ## INCUMBENT THE REVD SANDY MATHESON BANK LLOYDS TSB SWANWICK BRANCH 1 MIDDLE ROAD PARK GATE SOUTHAMPTON SO31 7GH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER MR DAVID CREAL PETERKIN HOUSE 76 BOTLEY ROAD PARK GATE, SOUTHAMPTON Aim and purposes st. Paul's Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Sandy Matheson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Churchi pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Paul's Church building and its extension in Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green. Objectives and Activities The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at st Paul's. The PCC maintsins an oveNiew of worship throughout the parish and make5 suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our seNices and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our 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. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: Worship and prayer Teaching and learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. Missionary and outreach work. To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of St. Pauls Church and related buildings. A5 a principle the churth building is open daily for private prayer. Achievements and Perforniance Worship and Prayer There are two principal *rvi￿5. One at 10.30am every Sunday morning with an average attendance of around 50 and another which takes pla￿ every second and fourth Sunday at 4pm specifically focused on families with younger children which attracts broadly similar numbers. These Se￿iCe$ are complemented by a service of Moming Prayer on Monday Wednesday and Friday and other services throughout the year to support festivals, especially at Christmas when Christingle Services and Crib services are held; these services attract more than 200 worshippers in totsl. There are also some small groups which meet regularly for Bible study and prayer; these are an important component of pastoral support within the church community. In addition, other servI￿s, Baptism, Wedding and Funeral (in church and at local crematoria) are held as need arises. With the restrictions imkY)sed during the Covid-19 pandemic services have been significantly curtailed but with the growing experience of using livestreaming and Facebook we have maintsined regular Sunday services and prayer sessions a number of times a week. Deanery Synod Two members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link be￿een the parish and the wider structures of the church. Bullding Maintenan Major work was carried out this year on the tower, and the clock was serviced and refurbished. Grants from Fareham Borough Council and Hampshire County Council assisted with the costs of the latter. Pastoral Care During the week the new extension is used for: There 15 a monthly bring-and-share lunch for those who a￿ retlred which is normally attended by about 20 people. There is regular weekly cafe attended by 15 to 20 people on average. This is run by a team of volunteers and provides a valuable means of pastoral support. Once a month there is a group aimed at reaching Dads called 'Who let the Dads Out?, Coffee, bacon sandwiches, Scalextric and games for their children are available. Once a month the church also runs a slot racing club and 'pub nighv for men with the aim of developing links with the wider community and well as pastoral care. Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Regular visits take pla￿, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital, or just to check they are okay. Again, due to the restrictions imposed during the pandemic this has been severely curtailed for a second year. Mission The PCC aims to support a number of other causes. These include the New Life School in Sarberia, West Bengal and the local foodbank. This year we also made a donation towards costs incurred by a member of the congregation who is training for work in the religious sector. Ecumenical Relationships St Paul's is part of the Western Wards Church Network which is an inter-denominational network of all churche5 in the Western Wards of Fareham. Volunteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it Is. In particular we want to mention our churchwarden Mr5 Dulledge for her efoorts on our behalf, Mr Dulledge who has helped us all to understand the church's accounts and its finan￿S, and all the other members of the PCC and the wider church membership for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church running. Strurturei governance and management The method of appointment of PCC members is set OLrt in the Church Representstion Rules. At St. Pauls the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwarden5, a retired minister with permission to officiate, the reader and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. Al those who attend our serviceslmembers of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met three times in person and seven times using Zoom video conferencing during the year with an average level of attendan￿ of 780/0. Administrative information St. Paul's Church is situated in Bames Lane, Sarisbury Green. It is part of the Diocese of Portsmouth within the Church of England.

The PCC is a body corkK)rate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission. PCC members who have seNed from 1st january 2021 until the date this report was approved are: Ex Officio members Incumbent: Churchwarden: Treasurer: Retired Minister.. The Rev Sandy Matheson Mrs Janet Dulledge Mr Chris Dulledge Mrs Lorraine Snape Chair (Also on Deanery Synod) (Honorary) Elected members: Mrs Jill Sharland Mr John Meridith Mr Tony Moore Mr David Hodgson Mr Paul Smith Mr Rob Leslie Ms Julia Jones Mr Nigel Sutton Mrs Elaine Cordner (from April 2021) (from April 2021) (from April 2021) Deanery Synod Mr Phil Rutt Safeguarding Ststement At the first meeting following the delayed APCM the PCC re-adopted the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. It was agreed that Janet Dulledge would continue as our Safeguarding Representative. There have b*n no matters of concern raised during 2021. Financial Review Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £79,320. There were no Re5trirted Funds donations. Planned giving through envelopes, bank transfers and the Parish Giving Scheme is essentially flat. As can be seen by the relatively low Collections figure we are extremely tax efficient and are able to claim Gift Aid on most of our giving. Although we continue to keep costs very low, the reduction in Size of our congregation over the last few years makes meeting the expected Parish Share is diffficult. We have paid in full this year, and cleared all previous year shortfalls, but the future is still likely to be challenging. Work on the clock and the tower was been largely financed by grants, an earlier donation from the St Barnabas Fund, and successful applications to the Listed Pla￿S of Worship Scheme for the VAT amount (this scheme has limited funds, so applications have no guarantee of SUC￿$5 even if accepted a5 meeting the requirements). The net result for the year was an excess of re￿Ipts over payments of £13,382 on unrestricted funds. As a result, a payment was made in January 2021 to clear the shortfall of Parish Share which will be shown in the 2021 accounts. We cary reserves.. the restricted funds are as in the accounts, with building funds still required for work on the tower. Reserves policy It is PCC policy to maintain an uninvested balan￿ on unrestricted funds, (if possible), which equates to at least two months unrestricted paymentsi equivalent to £12,000, to cover emergenLry Situations that may arise from time to time. The current account balance of £31,651 ex￿eded this. There are no fixed policies for investments. st Pauls Sarisbury Statemenl of Financial Activitie5 For the period from 01 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 Unr•$irl¢t•d Ae•lrfci•d lynds Endownwffll Toi01 fund• Prfory PL3nned g￿lf￿) CDIleCbDn$a￿0lh0l￿l￿Mg 0th8rtrading activitie$ Oihervoluntary rttOp)ts Nid r8cav8r8d In￿l￿¢Thts OthBrieceipts R8C8IPlsfr¢Jffl church a¢tlVlDg5 35.999 550 893 35.999 550 893 36,132 20, 31,188 13.5 T4tBI rnc*lptg 78.320 79.320 103.830 PJyments Mbwnary affldQhdritabl*Glvlfflg F£nsh Share 18rgyand Slatfing oosis Chuf¢h Running Expenses Hall Cosls Chur¢h Rewrs 8 ￿￿￿19ndre?
