The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure registered with the Charity Commission. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Barnabas. the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), the churchwardens (I vacant post), and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our ser4ices / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. ual FInan Rep1202
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. New members are offered and actively encouraged to undertake initial training into the workings of the PCC provided by the diocese. Since APCM 2020 our entitlement is for 9 elected members. We have 3 vacancies for elected members The full PCC met 10 times throughout the year with an average level of attendance of 60%. Four of the meetings were for specific iterns, the rest full meetings. All meetings from May onwards were held via Zoom. There was one PCC Resolution via email to agree the new tenants and rental for Vernon Rise. Sub-committees held meetings or email discussions between PCC meetings. Recommendations were reported to the full PCC for review and agreement as appropriate. pHrposes St Barnabas, Parochial Church Council {PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson, in promotin& 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 the Church complex of St Barnabas. Raglan Way. Northolt, which includes a residential property in Vernon Rise. Greenford. objestives octirfLties 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 Barnabas. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. However. during the 2020 pandemic, services have been severely curtailed due to the lockdowns so music has been absent. although a weekly Zoom sep4ice has been possible with those joining in able to participate. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish has been made difficult due to Covid rules although communion by phone has been enjoyed by some. Mission and outreach work has not been active as in previous years but nevletterS are circulated and information put on the parish's Facebook. However, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Barnabas and the Church complex, including the Vernon Rise property to provide the accommodation and resources for when we restart mission and outreach.

ALhievekKevQs apld perfoYkKoKLe Worship and prayer The PCC has always been keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year which our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Regrettably since March, the 8am service and weekday services have ceased and of course the various services at different festivals. Zoom services have proved popular especially those with families and those shielding or vulnerable. Those attending a enjoying taking part and the informality of the service. Our Sunday services were led by both the Reverend Edmund Cargill Thompson and the Reverend Patty Linders via Zoom and in the church when it was open. During 2020, there were no Baptisms or Weddings. but 7 funerals taken, 5 of which were held in church. Since the pandemic an average of 20 adults have attended when the church was open plus an equal number on the Zoom services. Zoom services have been watched by families, numbers slightly increasing when the church was closed. In December a Carols and Quiz was held on Zoom and enjoyed by many. 45 people attended Midnight Mass and Christmas Day services, 36 of whom were communicants. A Christmas Morning service was also held on Zoom. Church membership The year ended with 74 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. It was with great sadness that we lost 3 church members during 2019, Gladys Eribenne. Ann King and Althea Winspierre. All greatly missed for their various contributions to the life of the church. Pastoral care Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. During 2020, clergy visiting has not been possible but communion by phone has been given. Others have called by and had doorstep conversations with those and Barney Fellowship Group members. Safeguarding Nicola Inson has taken over from Emma Green as our Safeguarding Officer and ensures our Safeguarding Policy Statement is updated and displayed. Carolyn Walford is our Youth Champion and Jane Cox our Children's Champion. The PCC Annuol Fwnce PeK#J12020
complies with the duty under Section 5 or the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, in relation to having due regard to House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The Church Centre Complex Regrettably since March the church has been open less often for prayer but our Garden of Rest is still accessible by arrangement. The various groups who regularly use the hall have mostly not met since March. A couple of fitness and tuition groups have met when legal to do so. Mothers and Toddlers group who nomially meet on Tuesdays needs a new leader. Grateful thanks go to Danielle Lama, whose daughter has now moved on to school. The Barney Fellowship Group aimed at the over 55s. could not meet but each member received a visit and gift from Father Christmas. very much appreciated by The Community Payback Team. who have been able to work for parts of the year. undertake a lot of tasks both in and outside the hall. around the outside of the church and in the Garden of Rest. Their work reduces maintenance expenditure on our buildings. The Hall toilets refurbishment was completed in November and provides unisex toilets as well as a disabled toilet. Our Building fund holds £5000 for security work. Major problems were encountered by intruders gaining access to our buildings necessitating improvements to our boundary security. Further work is still needed to address other issues, including the continual dumping of rubbish in the bin area. There has been another change in tenancy at the house in Vernon Rise and at the time of writing the new tenants have just renewed for a further year, giving us a secure income for 2021. Mission and evangelism Sadly, the usual evangelistic activities held during the year have not been possible. Zoom services and the Christrnas Carol and Quiz event were advertised on our webslte and through social media. Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith but due to the closure collections and appeals for charities have not been possible. The Lent collection for ALMA, which was barely stsrted will continue in Lent 2021. Annual Finance Reprrt 3020
Ecumenical relationships
The church is a member of the Soul in Northolt and Greenford group {SING). The
main joint activity would be the Good Friday Walk of Witness to Northala Fields.
School visits to St Barnabas were not possible.
Deanery Synod
The Deanery Synod provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and
the wider structures of the church. During the year, we had two elected members,
one of whom is the Deanery Synod Secretsry. All Deanery Synod meetings are now
held on Zoom.
At the beginning of the year there were 47 members (38 gift aided their payments) in the planned giving scheme and the year ended with 41 members (33 gift aided their payments). In addition there are two members giving through the Parish Giving Scheme and another through the CAF Give as you earn scheme, giving a total of 44 regular givers. Occasional Services Fees (weddings and funerals) were down by £183 on 2019, at £380. Other income from events and activities was £233 (down £3,407 on 2019). Hall Income was £7,371 (down £15,234 on 2019). This income is used to cover general expenses not covered by voluntsry donations. Restricted donations of £6,275 were also ceIVed. these comprised £425 for flowers (£400 from 2019); £149 for the Toddlers group: £208 Barney Fellowship group £35 for charity appeals/collection; £50 for the Project 2004; £2435 Hall toilet refurbishment and £197 in refunded Gift Aid tax. Additional income of £61 was received from CCLA bank interest, which was slightly higher than 2018 {£54) The Project 2004 Fund has now been spent and the fund closed. £60,927 (down £450 on 2019) was spent from non-restricted funds to provide the Christian ministry of St Barnabas Church, including the parish's contribution to the Diocese of £22,040 (£30,000 2019) which contributes towards the stipends and housing for the clergy. This amount represented around 26% of the amount required to cover our relevant costs. the remainder is covered by the generosity of other churches. We originally committed to paying £33.(K)O in 2020 but by the summer it became obvious we would not be able to meet this amount, so the Financial Adviser at the Diocese agreed to a suspension in Common Fund for 3 months and then a further month in December. The Ios5 of voluntary income {£10,853} and Hall rents (£15,234) has impacted on our ability to be a viable church so we pray for an end to the pandemic and improvements in 2021. Clergy expenses were reimbursed up to an agreed budget. Utility bills in the church cost £2.333 (down by £162 on 2019). Hall utility bills totalled £1599 {down £1299 on 2019). Through non-use the hall bills have dramatically reduced. but the church heating bill remained high as the church was used by hall groups who were able to return in the auturnn but met in the church whilst the hall toilet refurbishment took place at a cost of £30,000 paid using the Project 2004 Fund. Alan's sponsored bike ride, a £2,500 grant from Greystar Greenford and other donations plus an interest-free loan. A further £2,000 needs to nual Anance Report2020
be raised to clear this loan. The replacement doors and windows in the hall were at a cost of £9768 using designated funds including money raised at Fun Days and the Christmas Fayre. Church roof quinquennial repairs were carried out (£2.635) and church earth bonding completed1£594) both paid for from the savings from Common Fund in 2019. A fundraiser was employed {£3,800) to apply for grants towards specific projects from the list of outstanding quinquennial work. Three grantors responded but we lack funds as we have not been able to build onto our Reserve Fund due to the loss of income. We have £20,000 set aside in the Reserve Fund for match- funding. Insurance for our buildings was paid in full £3,607 The year ended with liabilities of £610: Clergy expenses July to December, received January 2021. Reseyves poLiGy It is PCC policy to try to maintsin a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months, non-restricted payrnents. This is equivalent to £22,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was £23,000. As already mentioned above £20,000 for match funding. and £3,000 from advanced rent from Vernon Rise which will help towards the Comrnon Fund payments in the first few months of 2021. The agreed figure for Common Fund in 2021 is £25.000. A further £5,000 in restricted funds are held for a security system Since the Projert 2004 Fund has now been used up, the balance in the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund belongs to the Screen Fund. Purple Fund, Youth Walsingham donations and Youth Club funds.

VoLk¥+Lteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church a lively and vibrant community. Being a volunteer is part of what it means to be "the Body of Chrisy, (I Corinthians 12) and it is impressive that innumerable people have been involved in volunteering in some capacity or other. With the exception of the vicar, every job at St Barnabas is carried out by volunteers. If we had to pay for them, the cost of carrying out every job which is done by a volunteer would be many times our total income, so people's active commitment to serving God at St Barnabas is saving the church significant amounts of money Paid Employees St Barnabas is not currently employing any staff.
