Trustees Annual Report 2020

Aims and purposes as a charity

The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Revd Gary Ingram, in:-

Our plan to achieve our charitable objectives

When planning our activities for the year, our Incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

For 2020 we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfill our aims:

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives

Attendance at worship

During the majority of 2020 we have been unable to worship in the church building and have relied on recorded services on our website and live ‘facebook’ services conducted by the vicar from the vicarage. These have been very well supported and appreciated by folk from the village and beyond!

We have been able to keep telephone links with members of the congregation who were in lockdown and when government guidelines permitted, we have resumed worship in the church but with limited numbers and strict ‘distancing’ rules.

The building has been open for private prayer and reflection every morning for three hours and a team of ‘sanitisors’ have ensured safety and cleanliness every day.

The reports in this booklet explain more of what is happening in our Church community and our work and outreach in the village and further afield.

Financial Review

The church is dependent on income largely donated from its supporters and congregation, together with other donations, fees from church services and hire of the church hall and some investment income.

The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £76,000 paid to the diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry Costs, approx. £5,000 more than the previous year. This amount covers; clergy stipends, national insurance and pensions, clergy housing, training for clergy, support services such as safeguarding services and building advice.

The trustees maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level to meet a minimum of 6 months normal running expenses and to cover governance costs. The church is able to release some investments to generate cash should further funds be required.

Expenditure exceeded income in the year by approx. £31,898. Income amounted to £114,124 (excluding transfers) and expenditure £146,022 (excluding transfers) however the church has donated 14% of the annual income to worthy causes.

The full year’s results and the financial position at the end of the year are included in the report under the financial statement, trustees are satisfied with the position.

Structure, governance and management of the charity

The Parochial Church Council [PCC] is registered with the Charity Commission as required by the Charities Act 2011.

Its governing document is the Parochial Church Council [Powers] measures 1956.

During the year the following served as members of the parochial Church Council:

Ex Officio member

Vicar

Churchwardens:

Lay Members of the Deanery Synod:

Katie Baird Alison Gompertz from October 2020

Susan Young Graham Tovey

Lay Members of the Parochial Church Council:

Margaret Metcalf Gwen Chinnery Janet Fabian

Anthony Hall

Christopher Hansen

Tim Harris

Susan Pratt

Margaret Mason

Christopher Green

Meetings of the Council in 2020:

There were only 2 full meetings of the Council and the Standing committee communicated by e-mail on a regular basis. In such an unusual year, statistics would be meaningless.

Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain ex-officio members (the Vicar, the churchwardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synods) and members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). We try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible and to encourage parishioners with particular gifting to stand for election, ensuring that they fully understand the responsibilities of Trusteeship.

This Trustees’ Annual Report was approved by the PCC and signed on their behalf by The Revd. Gary Ingram, PCC Chairman.

St Andrew’s Church Treasurers Report January 2020-December 2020

This year our accounts have been independently examined by Claire Young

Well, what a year definitely not one we could have predicted or planned for or one we want to repeat but, as always, our family at St Andrew’s have come up trumps!

Income

As can be seen from the end of year report this year it looks as if our income is above that of the previous year however, I need to explain the figures further. Our income total for the year is £174,124 but this includes £45,000 from a cashed in investment to be used to pay for our beautiful new stainedglass window and £15,000 transferred from Santander to the Lloyds account as at the beginning of the year Lloyds funds were getting low, so it is a straight forward in and out transaction on the income /expenditure report. Taking these figures into account income would be £114,124 which is £7,701 less than last year considering the year we have had I think this is remarkable and it has meant we have been able to meet all our bills as usual.

Our income from Berkeley Court looks higher but the tenants have paid a year in advance and in fact we have had to reduce the rent slightly to attract tenants. We have also received £2,000 from legacies for which we are grateful, because we had to suspended services a number of categories look considerably lower than last year, no services mean no loose plate collections etc. Our fund-raising activities (Home Mission) have not been able to happen even coffee on Sundays usually generates a healthy income in a ‘normal’ year.

However, you have been extremely generous and many of you have given extra donations to help with our finances. This has not always been easy to account for as money was donated anonymously or from kind people who are not known members of our community, again grateful thanks to each and everyone of you. Many of you have continued with the yellow offertory envelopes and where this happened, Gwen was able to record the offerings to benefit from gift aid, however for some money I have had to ere on the side of caution and if we were not aware that we could claim gift aid I have just paid the money directly into general funds. An up side to this is that some members have decided to donate using a standing order which accounts for some moneys not received in the envelopes this has been a great help.

Gwen has once again worked her magic and we have received £11,636 recoverable on gift aid, so as you can see it is well worth you gift aiding your offering where possible.

Expenditure

Again, our expenditure figure £161,022 includes the £15,000 previously explained and therefore £146,022 is actual spending which means our expenditure is £31,898 above our income. This has been a continuing picture for some years now and despite your wonderful generosity this year I feel I have to point

out we are living well above our income and would therefore ask if possible, for supporters to consider a small increase in your regular offering which would be gratefully received. That being said, we are aware of how difficult finances are for many, and understand this may not be possible.

Once again, the PCC have agreed a small increase to be added our Diocese Parish Share, which supports other parishes not as fortunate as ourselves who find they cannot afford to meet their share of the diocese costs. The Diocese Parish Share (£76,000) – our largest expense, enables the diocese to fund:

Clergy stipends, national insurance and pensions

Clergy housing

Training for clergy

Support services such as safeguarding services and building advice

Investments

You can see that most of our investments have devalued this year (with the exception of the CCLA fund) but in this challenging year it is to be expected and investments are long term so we will remain with those ethical investments chosen and hope for an improvement next year. Be aware that M & G Investments are the fund we withdrew the £45,000 for the new window from.

Giving, relief and development

Obviously, we have not been able to be as generous with our giving, relief and development this year however we have been able to donate almost 14% of our income largely made up of the £15,000 that was promised to our local primary school.
