REPORT on the PCC and Parish Activities

Introduction:

We have continued with our worship, prayer groups and other activities during this year. We plan further to develop both our worship and prayer times and also our outreach and community service activities in these coming months. Numbers attending continue to rise.

One key constraint in all this is the number of volunteers we have and the amount of volunteering time given. We are asking everyone prayerfully to consider how they may help as any activity requires setting up, faithful attenders and then closing up afterwards.

Worship:

Worship has continued in church at 10am on Sundays with numbers attending slowly increasing. The Congregation are still offered the bread and the chalice. Live music every Sunday is still going well.

Church on the Phone continues every Sunday at 1:30pm. We have continued Zoom services on weekdays as well.

For Christmas we had a Christmas Eve and Carol Service as well as our Eucharist Service on Christmas Day.

Adult education and formation:

The Wednesday Prayer Fellowship has continued . We have focused on Romans and our 2023 Lent Book was Paula Gooder’s “Let Me Go There”.

Social and other activities:

We had a well attended social event to celebrate the Jubilee and also a social event out into town with lunch.

We are hoping to increase events this year if there is interest hopefully starting with a pilgrimage.

Outreach and other groups:

The Daniel’s Den toddler group saw larger numbers this year and as they were only able to use the space at the back of Church and ongoing logistical issues the PCC decided after careful deliberation to cease the use of this space at a time when they had found new premises.

The PCC hope that when we have more volunteers and will be able to have our own mother and toddler group in the future.

Our Elder’s Drop in has met monthly this year and attendance has doubled with both congregation members and people who do not attend our Church. All seem to really enjoy the group.

Junior Church :

Our children have been meeting together at the back of the church during the 10am service with trained and checked adult supervision. We plan to expand on our offering along with increases in numbers of children attending.

Halls:

During 2022 bookings for the hall have decreased, possibly due to cost of living and also the time restrictions.

One of our regular evening bookings has also cancelled their booking due to a decrease in numbers. We do have some evening and weekend availability and would welcome any groups to book who have procedures in place (such as insurance, safeguarding etc).

Building:

During 2022 all of our volunteers were busy keeping activities etc going. This year we hope to secure funding from charitable trusts and the Local Authority to move onto phase 2 of the heating project.

A new kitchenette has been refurbished at the back of Church, including a secure door and safe spaces for equipment. Various equipment and fixtures have been mended including the pulpit, altar rails and candle stands.

An accessible ramp has been fitted between the nave and vestry levels and new tables and chairs have been purchased for Junior Church and socials.

Other:

To make best use of finances we have stopped our photocopy hire and bought the relevant equipment.

We have also ceased our contracts with big contractors and will in future be using more local and cost effective contractors.

We have revamped our charitable giving and continue to give £80.00 per month but now split this among 4 charities, we review this yearly.

We also collected during Lent for Syria and will be sending all donations to the Awareness Foundation.

Safeguarding:

Our PCC and church endeavours to comply with all parts of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. DBS checks are up to date and all PCC members who need a refresher are booked on training.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Michael & All Angles Stonebridge

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 which are set in pages of the Annual Report.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church'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 accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
To 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 accounts, 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 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

Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualification is as shown below.

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 accounts 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.
