## **ANNUAL REPORT 2020** 

## Dear Brothers and Sisters 

This year has been very hard and testing one for our church. Within our community we have witnessed and experienced the impact of a pandemic and the effects of social isolation, loss, and ongoing struggles with health as we have coped with the effects of the virus and the restrictions upon our lives. Adapting to ever changing goal posts as we went in and out of lockdown left many feeling extremely tired and in poor mental health. The individual and collective need has been great. This year my role as a pastoral leader has been extremely challenging. 

We have however come closer together and developed opportunities to affirm our faith, to realise what matters most to us and to learn new ways of ministry. I have been encouraged by the positive responses with regards to our emerging online presence. It was evident that through this and other means we were able to stay very well connected as a Christian community, worship together and feed our spiritual need. It was very important that people who couldn’t engage online received prayer and worship packs in the post and were offered Christian support and prayer through other means. The national church was active in creating resources to be used in parishes to support congregations and we utilised many of these. 

One of the most important calls to mission that emerged from this year was to care for creation, to respond to the warning signs of the pandemic and to seek justice. This has encouraged us to look even further beyond our own current practice and engage in wider global action and change. We connected through online resources and by developing our education and creation tide worship. As a result, we have made some significant progress and further links within our community. Our pre-school began investigating ‘Forest School’ and looked at caring for creation in planning their curriculum. 

It is vital now that we focus on increasing our resources to do God’s work and develop our ministry and encourage leadership as we move forward. We now have opportunities to gather through zoom to study the bible, grow in discipleship and develop Christian support groups. Our new facilities though greatly impacted this year provide us with innovative ways to connect with our community and build valuable relationships. We have learnt that we need to be strategic and innovative in how we hire and use our spaces to reflect the current climate and meet our community and financial objectives. 

In order to flourish and grow, our church needs to be healthy in every sense. The congregation will need to make sure they regularly review their ongoing capacity to do the things they want. We began to develop conversations to take the vision day forward in line with finding a suitable framework for our ‘Called to Grow’ plan. To work on our next steps in growth and mission as a church and discern where God is leading us the PCC worked together on a stewardship plan. Now that the church has used its available capital to improve its facilities it will need to extend the regular parish giving and encourage as many as possible to invest in the church per month. Short term this is vital to maintain church stability and cover our ministry costs to retain our minister. 

Despite the difficulties this year we have continued to deepen our Christian journey through the love and support shared which has helped us in the deepest times of sorrow as we continued the path. My fond memories are very deep conversations on the phone, mastering zoom, leading worship with the family online, whizzing round the parish on Vicar Deliveroo, dancing outside to carols round the tree and filming the crib service. It has been wonderful to see new people join us, others return and those who live abroad join with everyone else through setting up our online worship. 

I give thanks for the blessing of our church wardens, PCC, parish administrator, caretaker, pre-school, our church ministry volunteers and congregation through this difficult year. For supportive friends and for all those who witness to God’s loving action here at our church in Days Lane. I owe my dear husband and children a big thanks for being so patient, for sharing their mum and for helping in service to our Lord. 

Yours in Christ 

_The Vicar, Revd. Mell Jemmett_

This Annual Report has been produced in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 1903, in preparation for the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. It covers the life of the Parish of The Holy Redeemer, Lamorbey, throughout the year 2020. The report sets out in brief the major events of the year just ended and includes a statement of the parish’s finances. There is a copy available for every household where there is a member of the Church Electoral Roll. 

## **PARISH** 

The Parish of The Holy Redeemer, Lamorbey, is part of the Diocese of Rochester within the Church of England. The Parish is an area of approximately one-mile square, bounded by the A2 trunk road to the north, a line running from the corner of Eltham Crematorium south to Old Farm Avenue, then eastwards to Hollies Avenue, and then a line going north to the A2 at the Westwood Lane flyover. The population of the parish is approximately 14,500. The address is The Holy Redeemer Church, 64 Day’s Lane, Sidcup, DA15 8JR. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission registration 1160471. The Parish Office is situated on the ground floor of the newly refurbished Holy Redeemer Community Centre. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The method of appointment of Parochial Church Council members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The function and purpose of the PCC is outlined in the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956. The PCC consists of elected representatives of the laity serving for a period of three years.  One third of this constituency retire each year. There are _ex officio_ members who hold office for one year at a time who are appointed by the Council in accordance with Church Representation Rules, such as the Readers as is determined by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). The PCC has the responsibility for co-operating with all clergy in promoting, within the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistic, social/prophetic and ecumenical. The Parochial Church Council is responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings, the church centre and adjacent lands.

**The following roles were also appointed and approved.** 

Safeguarding Officer (PSO) Mrs Dorothy Donovan Lead Recruiter DBS Ms Jennie Oliver GDPR Parish Administrator/Parish Vicar Pre-School Committee Parish Vicar, Chair of Trustees Malcolm Lay (curriculum and tracking) Brian Ayto (management and planning) Eileen Vamplew (management and practice) Margaret Lay (staff and finance) Envelope Scheme Recorder Ms Tina. Alabaster and Gift Aid Scheme Financial Banking Ms Anne Evans and Mrs Dona Dickson Magazine Editor Mr Paul Dyer Magazine Distributor Ms Anne Wallace 

## **STANDING COMMITTEE** 

The Standing Committee meets every other month with regards to parish finances and key fabric matters. To monitor income and expenditure, to nurture Christian stewardship in the parish and to prepare the annual budget. It also fulfils the role of the Standing Committee by transacting the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to direction. The committee is formed of the Vicar, PCC Secretary, Treasurer, Churchwardens, and co-opted members who may advise on stewardship or building matters. Fabric matters remained on hold for much of 2020 due to the pandemic and closure of buildings. In that time final snagging works were completed by contractors on project works to the church and hall in preparation for a final hand over. 

## **PCC FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

In common with most voluntary organisations in the UK, Holy Redeemer has had a challenging year financially. Covid hit our income from fundraising, collections and hall rental. We are surviving though, due to both the generosity of the congregation, and to great efforts to reduce expenditure. Thank you to all who have generously continued to contribute through the pandemic, and particularly to those who use bank transfer - that makes the treasurer's job much easier.  Please sign a gift aid form if you pay tax but remember to tell us if you have previously signed a form and then stop paying tax. Each year we need to cover our ministry costs and pay our Parish Share to the Diocese. It is important that we pay the full amount if Holy Redeemer is to be secure and viable in the long term. We paid most of what was requested in 2020, but only by using our hall repair and IT funds. Unfortunately, that is something we can only do once.  Going forward, we will need to find about another £1,000 a month by increasing income or by reducing expenditure. Three activities in 2020 will help our financial position. 

- The parish plans to run a stewardship campaign - we are currently very dependent financially on giving by quite a small group of people. 

- Hopefully, the end of lockdown will allow us to work on increasing rental income from the new hall. 

- The efforts of the committee and staff of the pre-school should put it in a much better position to keep paying hall rent. 

From a finance point of view, we need all three to succeed. The financial accounts for the year have been adopted by the PCC and are duly attached. 

_Alan Dickson, PCC Treasurer_

## **SAFEGUARDING** 

Dorothy Donovan continued to volunteer as Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) in 2020. A part of the safeguarding process involves checking DBS disclosure is up to date. Following the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) was formed in December 2012 by merging the Criminal Records Bureau with the Independent Safeguarding Authority. As a Diocese, we use this service (CCPAS) to check those who work, in both an employed and voluntary capacity, in a number of areas in the life of the Diocese and parishes. We are fully compliant with the above. We would like to extend our thanks to Ms Jennie Oliver for arranging these and for her expert assistance in this area. The Diocese, in line with new national church guidelines, has introduced new policy and training during 2020, which will be undertaken when due. In order to encourage communication and share knowledge, a first meeting between Diocesan PSO was attended. All Diocesan safeguarding information and new policies are available on the official website and a copy of the policy and certificate can be found on the church noticeboard, website and more information at rochester.anglican.org/resources/safeguarding 

## **PARISH ADMINISTRATION** 

The parish administrator is Mrs Margaret Lay. During building works hours were increased to provide duties in the parish office 12 hours per week on a flexible basis from Tuesday to Friday 9.30.am to 12.30 or 1.30 – 4.30pm (Monday being a day off) These hours were reduced to 8 hours a week during this year with the reduction of administration due to covid and the shutting down of the church and hall with some work completed at home. A screen in the office was put up to provide a designated hot desk for pre-school. During the year administration focused on covid safety risk assessment, hall hire closure and return and maintaining ‘essential’ church admin during these restricted times. 

## **MINISTRY** 

Thankfully we were able to complete our Bishops Certificate course on zoom from April last year, which has been a mixed blessing for both of us. Although it was beneficial not to have to travel late at night, perhaps the ethos of the course was lost slightly over zoom and we had to make adjustments with regard our assignments, as presentations and debates all had to be mastered on zoom. We had a very enjoyable term on Worship and Spirituality, during which time Brenda held a service of healing and Lindsey did a service of hope. Then we had a term on God’s word in the world, which focused on the Nicene Creed and we are just about to finish our last term on Pastoral care and Christian discipleship. Overall, this has been a life enhancing event for both Lindsey and I during which time we have developed a deeper understanding of pastoral care and hope to demonstrate this when lockdown restrictions have been lifted. Brenda has begun carrying out Bereavement support groups on zoom and Lindsey has prepared a Lent course, so we’ve both been busy preparing as well as studying. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Mell, as well as our formation team (Tina Alabaster and Dorothy Donovon) for all the support and the PCC for supporting us to do the course, also to everyone who has attended events we have hosted.

## **REPORTS FROM THE PCC** 

## **CHURCHWARDENS** 

2020 was a very difficult year for everyone due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The Annual Parochial Church meeting had to be held online via Zoom, when we were appointed Churchwardens for the coming year. The church and all activities had to be closed for much of the year due to the lockdowns and many church services have taken place via video link. Our thanks go to our Vicar, Mell, for organising communion services, morning prayer, and compline each week and to her husband, Brian, and Arwen and Arthur for all their efforts to help make the videos and to reach us. We have managed to open the church for private prayer for three days each week. Mell has been with us for just over three years now, and has worked tirelessly within the parish, with an even greater pastoral workload with bereaved families due to Coronavirus. The Community Centre had to be closed for much of the year and organisations have been unable to meet resulting in a loss of social engagement as well, of course, as income. However, the Wednesday café group has managed to maintain contact through regular Zoom meetings so thanks to Lyn and Jim for that. Mick Quinn and Margaret Lay continued as Caretaker and Parish Administrator respectively although on reduced hours. We suffered a minor break-in and a boiler house flood in July resulting in some damage to the vestry door, votive stand and a window was replaced at the west end. Our Quinquennial Inspection took place in December. We know work will be required on the exterior of the church. Gardening and site maintenance was kept up during the year while buildings were closed.

Works on the ground area at the rear of the kitchen was on hold to prepare for shed bases for storage for Pre-school, Guides and Brownies and church use once they return. 2020 ended on a sad note with the death of Syd Weekes a valued member of Holy Redeemer. We wish to thank everyone for their continued support during these difficult times. 

## _Anne Wallace and Margaret Furlonger, Church Wardens._ 

## **DEANERY SYNOD** 

The main business of the Synod meeting in February was a presentation by Paul Williams from A Rocha UK a Christian charity that works to protect and nurture God’s creation. In answer to environmental challenges firstly they engage and celebrate creation through worship, secondly, they actively work in five areas of church life: worship and teaching; buildings; land; lifestyle; community and global engagement. Ingrid Riches, Eco Rep from Holy Redeemer, that holds a Silver Award from A Rocha, explained how small changes could be made locally to support environmental needs such as substituting paper or china for polystyrene cups, using LED lights and growing endangered wildflowers in churchyards or gardens. The June meeting was cancelled owing to the pandemic. In November Synod reconvened again this time virtually on Zoom welcoming guest speaker Abi Hiscock, LLM. As ‘Growth Enabler’ for Bromley and Bexley Archdeaconry, Abi is helping to implement the diocesan ‘Called to Grow’ strategy in our deanery and particularly to weather the devastating impact of the pandemic. The immediate emphasis is on ‘recovery’ and a new focus on ‘connecting and collaborating’, promoting mutual support to build stronger relationships across parish boundaries. Lockdown has been very isolating for some and ministry/pastoral care on WhatsApp groups have been found to be supportive for both clergy and lay groups. Online services have been successful and reached out in many ways to new people. Synod was invited to consider how new initiatives might be developed further with a more collaborative approach. 

## _Paul Stevens, Deanery Synod Rep_ 

## **COMMUNITY CENTRE** 

2020 has been a frustrating year mainly due to the coronavirus pandemic as our hall usage was decimated. The year commenced on a relatively positive note regarding the provision of physical activities, potentially meeting LMCT targets securing an increased footfall in the number of participants. We were meeting our targets. Hall hire for non - physical pastimes were sound. Between the first and second lockdowns there was a resumption of some physical activities but with much reduced numbers. There was also a slump in bookings for other activities. This reduced level of participation in physical activity and other pastimes continued until the arrival of the second lockdown. However, we must still remain positive with regard to our initial vision; “to provide a refurbished complex enabling it to cater for a varied programme of activities for all community groups by being accessible to everyone. We now have a higher quality facility to cater for varied activities that will help towards fostering a stronger neighbourhood. It will be a centre where people can engage in physical and non- physical activities, encouraging people to integrate, combating social isolation”. We have been in contact with the LMCT and during conversation expressed our concerns regarding targets, the response was that with the current situation appertaining that it was a national issue. Contact has also been maintained with Bexley Council Leisure Services and dates have yet to be arranged for 2021. Looking ahead when we come out of the second lockdown, there will be a lot of work to do; realistically a new beginning. A revised business plan and extensive marketing will be priorities. We will need to recruit activity leaders ideally with skills in dance, Pilates and gardening. We continue to support the initiative with Bexley Council with regards to the activity pathway. This is social prescribing where older members of society are reintroduced into society, our community centre will provide a venue. We are awaiting a commencement date. This idea has attracted much media attention and after lockdown has ended certainly has its merits. 2021 will certainly be challenging! 

## _Brian Ayto and Margaret Lay, Hall Development_ 

## **HOLY REDEEMER PRE - SCHOOL** 

The pre-school continued under the official umbrella of the PCC. The delegated pre-school committee advised and reported to the Chair of Trustees and PCC on management and business matters. Concerns for a child’s safety are reported to Bexley Council MASH or the LADO for allegations against staff. A copy of the pre-school safeguarding policy is on the board in the community centre and copies are kept in the office. Mrs Margaret Lay assisted Laura Heath, manager with payroll of staff, HMRC, petty cash and the account, DBS, staff records, applications, new starter info, references and copies of contracts.

Administrative tasks were passed over to the managers as specified within their new role. Increasing daily numbers, strong leadership, safe recruitment, staff development and educational improvements have been the key focus for oversight by the pre-school committee. These along with work on a 3–5-year business plan were key objectives for managers who were meeting the demands of securing a _‘Good’_ Ofsted rating for the pre-school when it is inspected. 

## **PRE-SCHOOL MANAGERS REPORT** 

Holy Redeemer Pre-School has had a busy but unusual year like many in 2020. We closed on March 18[th] and did not reopen until the 4[th] September 2020. During this time staff updated all the policies and procedures and worked with parents of the children on role. We provided work packs and ‘how to’ videos throughout the lockdown to help keep the children occupied and learning. The keyworkers ensured all children’s files were kept up to date with their progress. At the end of the summer term, we said farewell to our manager Sarah Brown. Laura Heath then took temporary control whilst a new manager was recruited. Laura and Shelley Masher (a current key worker in the pre-school) then compiled a joint application for the role and were successful in their interview. Laura and Shelley took over officially on the 1[st of] November 2020. On return in September, we had to put a lot of new procedures in place to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, but we managed to get through the whole term without any cases, finishing with our annual Nativity which was watched and loved by parents over 2 days. All the children joined in with speaking parts and singing a collection of Christmas songs. A collection for Demelza house was held at the end of each nativity raising £120. Around £400 was raised from a sponsored match box event in October, this enabled us to buy some much needed equipment for the garden, such as a mud kitchen and a wooden shop front. Due to an increase in numbers, it was necessary to recruit a new member of staff who is due to start in January.

## **WORKING GROUP REPORTS**

## **The following representatives were approved** 

|Eco Church Rep|Ingrid Riches|
|---|---|
|CET Committee Chair|Lyn James|
|Charities Rep|Lyn James|
|Children’s Society|Marion Mills|

We continue to support the following charities: A Rocha, Christian Aid, Mission to Seafarers, Leprosy Mission, Bexley Homeless Winter Shelter, Embrace the Middle East and various Eco Charities. 

## **COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT** 

Community engagement social and community activities were suspended in 2020 due to the closing of the hall and restrictions on larger group gatherings. At the beginning of the year the Wednesday Community Café was very busy and full of people. In March there was a very successful Mystery Play written and performed by members and attended by friends of Holy Redeemer. During the year members of the community café kept in touch via what’s app and zoom. They also supported one another with phone calls, food shopping and kept up previous activities for wellbeing such as reading, drawing, painting, crafting, baking and poetry while in lockdown. Donations continued to the foodbank and money was raised through a Christmas raffle. Christmas toy donations were collected and made for Bexley Women’s Aid. Hampers were created and put together for the lonely, elderly and those struggling through being isolated at home. Donations were made online for our charities and through services for Christingle and the Christmas Crib. The vicar became a trustee for our local winter night shelter and worked with other church denominations on strategic planning for key workers, accommodation, food and support for covid safe winter shelter in the area for the homeless.

## **ECO CHURCH** 

This has been a year of sharp contrasts between positive and negative. The Pandemic and lockdown which has seen nature come to the forefront as animals reclaimed their habitat and entered towns and villages undisturbed. Birdsong was clearer with purer air quality. Everyone cooked at home which reduced food waste and landfill by 55%, the negative was increased food poverty and at Holy Redeemer we supported The Trussell Trust by on site deliveries. During Lent we raised £200.00+ for their annual ‘Jars of Change’ Appeal, Holy Redeemer has supported the Water Aid charity and donations were given online. Water resource is crucial, and we have installed water butts in the church gardens, more of this later. The negatives saw a sharp rise in single use plastics and discarded P.P.E. but the positives were organisations such as Keep Britain Tidy and Save Our Seas stepped up and have done amazing work. A painting was raffled and £250.00 was sent to The Marine Conservation Society to aid the work in saving the Coral beds. We held a month of Creation Time services led by Rev. Mell. The Rainforest destruction and Palm Oil industry, plastic pollution of great Rivers, and raising awareness of the plight of the Orangutans. £200.00 was raised for the sanctuaries that rescue Orangutans and the Rainforest Appeal. The children painted pictures of trees and animals and made string pictures and watered the garden from the rain butts. These were invaluable as we had two heatwaves during the lockdown. We ended Creation Time with a service of Hope, going forward we at Holy Redeemer have renewed our pledge and adopt the L.O.A.F initiative that is a simple reminder how to live more lightly on our planet. **Locally** grown to save the soil, **O.** organic where possible and in season, **A** animal friendly and **F.** fairly traded for all. God’s bounty is for all our brothers and sisters and every living thing. As an Eco Church we praise the God we worship and with every single action every day to save the world for tomorrow. 

_Ingrid Riches, Eco Church Rep_ 

## **CHURCHES TOGETHER** 

The Unity Service on the 19[th of] January 2020 at St. Lawrence’s Church was prepared by the people of Malta, involved a “boat”, and was well attended by about 80 people. The collection of £263-68 was sent to the Barnabas Fund. Lent Lunches in 2020 commenced at Christ Church where the new West Wing was used. Two Lunches took place on the 4[th] and 11[th] March before the Corona Virus Pandemic took hold. The collection for Christian Aid at the Lunches amounted to £382 which the CTiS Charman sent to Christian Aid by cheque. Richard Odufisan arranged a Saturday morning telephone Prayer meeting for CTiS from the 21[st of] March 2020 which has continued each week with only a break of a couple of weeks at Christmas. The Walk of Witness on Good Friday did not take place in 2020. Lark in the Park (LiTP) was unusual as it was just for a week and involved work on the Streets including a Christian leaflet distribution offering help to Homes in Streets where other members of the team undertook litter picking. Most Churches held Carol Services online or at Socially distanced services in 2020. Carol Singing in the High Street outside the fitness centre opposite Hadlow Road was in fact the distribution of a leaflet giving Church Web site contact details.

## **2[ND] LAMORBEY BROWNIES** 

Sadly 2020 curtailed Brownie meetings significantly.  We started the year well, completing a space challenge badge, called “Shoot for the Moon” and combined that with learning about some inspirational women in STEM. 

We completed the Google Badge, which was designed in collaboration between Girlguiding and the internet giant.  We learnt some very simple coding and learnt the importance of accurate instructions whilst building robots using someone else’s!! Sadly, our trip to Apple to learn more was cancelled. We did not meet between March and Sept but challenges, activities, puzzles, colouring etc sent out every 1-2 weeks to aim to alleviate boredom. We have taken part in a Virtual tea party/picnic, sleepover, Christmas fun activities. We managed 7 meetings in total, having smaller numbers of girls on alternate weeks in Sept/Oct and were pleased to welcome 5 new girls. Sadly, we than had to stop meetings again after October half term. We had previously opted not to meet online but now we are meeting on zoom for at least the first term of 2021 every other week and have welcomed 2 more new girls. Despite continued pressure at work, we felt we should, and it has been great to see the girls again, despite the work involved in running meetings virtually. They all seemed to be enjoying so far and we have already had a quiz and cook along!

## **2[ND] LAMORBEY (HOLY REDEEMER) GUIDES** 

2020, unlike any year we’ve ever known, proved to be challenging yet busy in a different way! Our membership remained constant from 2019 with an average of 19 girls during 2020.  The unit has one qualified leader and the newly registered unit helper that joined us in 2019 is now on the trail of completing the leadership scheme to become a fully qualified assistant leader.  Thank you and well done to Claire.  The unit also has regular support from parents when necessary. As stated before though, adults that wish to be involved are always welcome. January to March was busy with activities and badges being completed.  However, with the onset of the first lockdown our weekly meetings had to cease.  Even though several faceto-face events and activities that were planned for the year had to go on hold, Guides were able to take part in others via Zoom and such platforms that were made available. There was a Tea Party for the 75[th] VE Day celebrations, a virtual overnighter (girls were encouraged to make their own camps in their homes or gardens) and a picnic. We were able to resume meetings in September, in a restricted format (we managed just 4), but then Lockdown 2 put a stop to that!  The last online activity for the year organised by the County was a Christmas activity weekend when Xmas baking and craft activities were shared. We’re looking forward to getting back to our regular meetings in 2021 – but what happens then will be saved for next year’s report! 

## _Margaret Lay, Guide Leader_ 

## **Mission Statistics 2020 Worshipping Community**

There were approximately 128 in our worshipping community including pre-school children during 2020. Due to restrictions on social distancing on a Sunday there was between 40 -50 attending in person when we were open. There was up to 136 engaging in online worship on Sunday and in the week with wider engagement from those in other countries.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF LAMORBEY, HOLY REDEEMER** 

## **NOTES  TO  THE  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  31  DECEMBER  2020** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **a Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006  together with applicable accounting standards and SORP 2015. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value and the revaluation of fixed assets. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **b Funds accounting** 

Funds held by the PCC are: 

_Unrestricted funds_ - general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes 

_Designated funds_ - monies set aside by the PCC out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects. 

_Restricted funds_ - 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 the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund. 

_Endowment funds_ - funds the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from the investment of the endowment may be used, either as restricted or unrestricted funds, depending on the purpose set out in the terms of the original endowment 

## **c Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## _**Voluntary Income**_ 

_Collections_ are recognised when received. 

_Planned giving_ receivable is recognised only when received. 

_Income tax_ recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. _Grants and legacies_ are recognised when the PCC is legally entitled to the amount due. 

## _**Income from investments**_ 

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable.  Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. 

## _**All other income**_ 

All other income is recognised when it is receivable. 

## _**Gains and losses on investments**_ 

Realised gains are recognised when the investments are sold Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation on 31 December.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF LAMORBEY, HOLY REDEEMER** 

## **NOTES  TO  THE  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS (continued) FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  31  DECEMBER  2020** 

## **d** _**Resources used**_ 

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis and are accounted for gross. 

## _**Grants**_ 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded where the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. 

## _**Church Activities**_ 

The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for when paid.  Any parish contribution unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. 

## **e Fixed Assets** 

## _**Tangible fixed assets**_ 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Movable church furnishing held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated.  They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2006 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Individual items acquired since 2006 have been capitalised in the accounts and depreciated over their useful economic life. 

All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings and individual items costing under £2000 are written off in the year they were incurred. 

## _**Depreciation**_ 

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of tangible fixed assets, excluding freehold properties, over their expected useful lives.  The rates generally applicable are: 

Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Computer equipment 50% straight line 

No depreciation is provided on freehold property as it is the PCC's policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair.  The useful economic life of these assets is so long and residual values so high that any depreciation would not be material.  These assets will be subject to annual impairment reviews.  Provision will be made if there has been any permanent diminution in value. 

## _**Investments**_ 

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. 

## **f Current Assets** 

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown a debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. 

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds, or at the bank

The music fund is the  legacy from Arthur Crane that was left for a new organ. 

The £5000 denoted as Hall Concreting Fund was given by the Diocese towards providing hard standing around the hall. This is accounted for separately from the main development fund. 

The Restricted Charitable Giving Fund, represents monies collected by the PCC for distribution to other Charities. 

The Hall Repair fund and the IT fund were closed in 2020 and were used towards paying the Parish Share. 

In September 2016 the HR Pre-School was taken under the control of the PCC and reported as a Restricted Fund. Rent paid by the Pre-School for use of the Hall is now shown as a transfer between funds.
