THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, ROSS4)N-WYE Registered Charity No.: 1163776 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ending 31 December 2020 Aim and purposes St Mary's Parochial Church Council (PCC) had the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, The Reverend Sean Semple, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has the responsibility for the maintenance and development of the church building and St Mary's Church Hall. 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 Mary's. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and Scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable parishioners to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: Worship and prayer; leaming about the gospel; developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish Mission and outreach work. To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church of St Mary's and St Mary's Church Hall. Since March 2020 the Covid pandemic has forced us to move much of our work on-line, a move which has enabled us to reach people well beyond the parish of Ross-on-wye. Achievements and perfomiance Worship and prayer The PCC has considered the need to extend the range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. The Thursday moming Eucharist plays an important role but our main efforts have been towards encouraging more young people to become part of the community at St Mary's. Our Intergenerational Missioner has continued her work for the third of her five years appointment in the Parish, Toast and Toddle Club, LEAF Club and school's work with Sox ministry using sock puppets and Open the Book at Brampton Abbotts C of E Primary School have all continued, Toast and Toddle and LEAF moving on-line as necessary. Other members of the Clergy Team assisted in holding Picnic Church on summer Sundays and in starting Messy Church in the autumn. All are welcome to attend our regular services and the PCC is grateful to the Clergy Team for their work in the services that are offered and for the additional opportunities that are offered by way of Lent and Advent courses. The two regular Bible Study groups have met on-line, and an on-line Alpha course was successfully held in the autumn. The church electoral roll is renewed every six years and following the full revision in early 2019 there are currently 128 parishioners on the roll, a large proportion of whom are resident within the parish. Three names have been removed through death.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, ROSS-ON-WYE Registered Charity No.: 1163776 There is a rota of volunteers to visit all who are sick or unable to get out for any other reason and to keep them in touch with church life. During lockdowns members of the Ministry Team and volunteers have maintained contact with older and vulnerable parishioners by telephone Deanery Synod Three members of the PCC sat on the Deanery Synod during the year. The Deanery Synod provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the Church. The Reordering of the Church and the use of St Mary's Church Hall Phase 2 3 of our reordering work in St Mary's Church was completed atthe end ofthe year and involved the remodelling of the main, north, porch and doorway to provide a brighter, more welcoming entrance, fully accessible to the disabled. The church hall is managed by the St Mary's Church Hall Committee on behalf of the PCC. Before the pandemic there were regular paying users of the hall. The two tenants have continued to occupy much of the first floor, with one room being retained for church use. Work is being investigated in order to improve disabled access to the building and this will be funded from our available reserves if charitable grants are not available. The Ross-on-wye Community Larder continues to operate successful from the basement but the Job Club has had to close during the pandemic. Grant making policy The PCC have a policy of making donations of 5 % of the income from other unrestricted giving including Gift Aid receipts under a pattem of regular giving or otherwise. The donations are made in support of both UK and overseas charities under the recommendation of either members of the PCC or the congregation of the church rather than in response to any applications made to the PCC. Although the decision is nomally made towards the end of the accounting period each year, This year we delayed the payments pending a review of the way these grants are made. Ecumenlcal relationships The church is a member of Churches Together in Ross-on-wye. Financial review Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £97,099 of which £53,067 was unrestricted planned voluntsry donations, and a further £13,255 was from income tax recovery on Gift Aid. Our membership of the Parish Giving Scheme has improved the collection of tax repayments but we have still failed to enhance the level of donations to any significant extent. We have opened an account with PayPal which has enabled donations to be given on line and we also have a card reader situated by the North door to enable visitors to donate electronically. We have received legacies and residue payments from Estates totalling £400 during the year and a generous grant of £1000 from the Ross Education Trust that is restricted to our educational work with children and young adults under the age of 25 years. The freehold house at 3 Redwood Close, Ross-on-wye is now occupied by our curate Rev'd Tiffany Jackson. The income from this letting was £995, prior to her occupation. Our regular fundraising activities have been curtailed by the covid pandemic but the 100 Club remains a successful source of income. Our rector undertook a 'Table Mountain Challenge, which raised £1751 and together with other fundraising events has had a positive effect on income.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, ROSS-ON-WYE Registered Charity No.: 1163776 Net movement in funds on unrestricted funds was a deficit of £37220 (excluding the contribution to the salary of the Intergenerational Missioner). This has reduced our balance of unrestricted funds to £116,162. As a PCC we are mindful of the fact that this represents a balance that is too large for our day-to-day needs but the current uncertainties over Covid are a con￿rn and ways need to be found to improve our income if annual deficits are to be addressed. The cost of the re-ordering phase 3 (£102,897) has been paid from restricted funds and since the end of the financial year we have received a grant of £16,106 to cover the VAT cost of this work. Reserves policy It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) at a level which ensures the continued operation of the church and building. As highlighted earlier, we still maintain a balance of unrestricted funds that are too great for our needs but must be considered against our failure to ensure that our Budget runs at or near breakeven. In time we anticipate that a necessary reserve of at least three to six months unrestricted payments will need to be maintained. This would be equivalent to £35,000 to £70,000. It would be held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies and the PCC will decide the position taking into account the annual deficit with which we continue to be fa￿d. It is our policy to invest the short term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund, and the remainder in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund. The investments are shown as valued as at 31 December 2019 and during the year the value has increased by £1676. The investment policy of the PCC has remained unchanged during the year. Volunteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who give their time in whatever way towards the work of our church. Structure, governance and management The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.

Basis of Independent Examinerfs 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 rtems or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is gNen 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 examlnerfs statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attentK)n which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: the accounting records were not kept in accordan￿ with section 130 of the 2011 Ac( or the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements conceming the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Report5) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts gNe a 'true and fairf view which is not a matter cOns￿ered as part of an independent examination.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, ROSS-ON-WYE Registered Charity No.: 1163776 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020 1. Accounting Policies Basis of financial statements The financial ststements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordan￿ with applicable accounting standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and applicable accounting standard FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. 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 main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members. Fund accounting Endowment Funds are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the PCC'S discretion. the income from the endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted income funds depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established in the first place. Restricted Funds represent a) income from endowments that is to be expended only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor, and b) revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC activity intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on any pooled investrnent is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis. The PCC does maintain a number of separate accounts for some of the restricted funds to ensure correct apportionment of interest. Unrestricted Funds are income funds that are to be spent on the PCC'S general purposes. Designated Funds are general fvnds set aside by the PCC for use in the future and are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only. Designated funds remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds. Incoming Resources Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resour￿ to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered certain and the amounts due are readily quantifiable. Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable and interest as and when accrued by the payer. All incoming resources are accounted for gross, except for PayPal, where receipts are net of the charges.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 20201continued) 1. Accounting Policles (continued) Resources Expended Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan common share contributions are accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. Fixed Assets Consecrated and benefice propety is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. The property 3 Redwood Close, Ross-on-wye was acquired jointly with the Diocese for use by a Curate that is in post at any time. The PCC contributed the sum of £50,000 for their one-third share of the cost and no revaluation of the propety has been undertaken. Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.
