## Charity Commission
Trustees Annual Report for the year ending Dec 31[st] 2021 St Francis Church, West Bessacarr Registered Charity No 1169458
## **Aims and Purposes**
St. Francis Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Richard Heard, in promoting 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 St Francis Church and Meeting Room and its operation both as a church and as a centre for community activity in Bessacarr.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and become part of our parish community at St Francis. At each meeting the PCC reviews how effective our recent activities have been. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. Our pastoral team works with those in the church community who have needs due to ill health, aging, isolation, financial or other reasons.
The PCC also sees that part of its evangelistic role is to minister, to the local community through a variety of activities based at our hall and café which provide a social and community benefit as well as the opportunity to discover, explore or grow in faith for those who are interested. The church hall and café is centred on the shops in Nostell Place, West Bessacarr and so we reach local people as well as many of whom do not live in the ecclesiastical parish.
When planning our activities for the year the incumbent and the PCC bear in mind the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish Evangelistic and outreach work
In addition we offer the use of the building, at a rate which is aimed to cover our costs, to any member of the local community regardless of race, religion or any other factor with the one proviso that only Christian worship takes place on the premises.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of St Francis Church and Meeting Room.
Our activities have still been partially impacted by Covid which has altered the response to the situation but not the aims and intentions of the PCC.
## **Achievements and Performance**
## A: Worship and prayer
This year gradually more and more people returned to church in the building for a 9.15am service. As we knew that a number of people still felt unable to meet in the building we also continued to offer a full pre-recorded online service each week.
Aware of how difficult it was for families during Covid and also how running children’s groups during the pandemic was difficult we started a second experimental service at 11.15 initially with just families invited sitting in family groups for accessible all age worship following the same theme as 9.15 but with much more interaction and a more accessible style. Over time we opened this service up for those without young children who wished to join at this later time slot.
We also relaunched Morning Prayer each weekday morning at 8am and did this on zoom as a space for worship, discipleship and Bible study and prayer. We continued with weekly prayer meeting on zoom
## B: Pastoral care
A group meets together regularly with the church’s pastoral care coordinator, the pastoral worker and the incumbent to discuss the health and personal problems which members of the congregation are facing. Any practical help which could be of benefit is arranged and prayer is offered in all cases. This has continued on zoom meeting fortnightly.
Café Theo has provided a regular space four times a week for people from the church and wider community to meet up, develop friendships and receive care
Up until the end of March 2020 Toddler Club met weekly and split into two sessions to expand the range of situations. It plays and finishes with a bible story and song. Parents and carers are offered a drink and time to discuss whilst the children are busy. All major expenditure is by agreement with PCC. Due to Covid concerns this was not yet relaunched
Until Covid hit the longstanding monthly lunch for older people called Meet and Eat which has an attendance of about 30 continued. This is matched by less formal meetings on the other weeks. Here again overall financial control rests with PCC but the expenditure is more than covered by the charge made for the meal. There are always trained listeners on hand if bereaved people want to talk through their experience of grief with someone outside of their immediate family. Monday J.O.Y (Just Older Youngsters) activities of Chit Chat and Puzzle Corner were relaunched in the summer in a Covid secure way and numbers have gradually been increasing. Instead of Meet and Eat we now run something called Coffee Cake and Quiz which is popular and meets a need.
Two groups are associated with the church but are financially independent. The first is a large Mothers’ Union branch which has now relaunched a popular monthly Soup Lunch in the café. The second is an initiative called Aspire which brings together people who live alone and there is something they wish to do but have no one to share it with. Aspire activities relaunched in person in the summer and were popular
Up until the end of March 2020 there was a very well attended fortnightly group for families called Integrate. This allowed much interaction and connection with people from different age groups and backgrounds and included a time of games together and learning about faith and sharing a meal. Throughout the pandemic
there were attempts to support and connect with families through email, social media and some zoom meetings. When the pandemic hit attempts to keep in connection with these young people proved to be more difficult although there were a variety of online offerings created via YouTube and Social Media. This has not yet relaunched as we are looking to recruit a paid or voluntary families worker to lead the group
The weekly youth group on a Tuesday evening which was called Fuse, relaunched in October and is now called Connect and has attracted a good mix of young people from the surrounding community. The young people enjoy crafts, games, sport and engage well with a short talk or activity exploring an aspect of the Christian faith .
## C: Deanery Synod
Three members of PCC sit on the Deanery Synod and bring issues from the wider church to the notice of PCC. Usually Synod meets 3 times a year.
## D: Mission and Evangelism
As part of our vision statement we seek to be a church that grows, loves, builds community and brings transformation in Christ’s name. To this end our café, toddlers, Integrate families group, community fun mornings, community meals, youth work, older people’s work all seek to bring something of God’s love and care to those outside of our “regular congregation”. People from the congregations are encouraged to seek to make a positive, loving difference wherever they are and whatever they are doing.
Throughout the pandemic a small team that does school assemblies continued to provide these regularly for the local primary schools via zoom or You Tube.
Thanks to a local authority grant and donations from the church congregation we were also able to provide food parcels up until
march for the families that the school identified were struggling the most financially.
Just before Christmas thanks to local donations from church family we delivered “bags of kindness” as a Christmas gift to school families that were struggling as well as isolated, bereaved and others who had experienced a very difficult 2021. This, along with an active social media and online services enabled the church to maintain and perhaps even increase its profile during what was a very challenging season. The food parcels and bags of kindness were given freely with no strings attached. But they did also include a short letter and “why Christmas” book and details about our online services and social media accounts so that people could engage further if they wished. We found that our outdoor Christmas carol service was attended by many more than usual, possibly partly because of our increased social media and the compassionate work in the community
## E: Relationships with other Churches.
The incumbent cooperates with the incumbents of two other local Anglican churches and the Methodist, Roman Catholic and Evangelical churches in the area to arrange occasional joint services and activities. The church is part of a deanery and the incumbent is co-area dean and so is involved in meetings that are at least monthly and the church seeks to be engaged in supportive relationships with other churches through the deanery forum.
## **Volunteers**
An organisation such as ours could not exist if it were not for the voluntary efforts of a considerable number of people. The PCC are grateful for all who make the church the lively and vibrant place it is. In particular their work has been gratefully received whilst the church as in lockdown
## Financial Review
## **TREASURER’S REPORT 2021**
_For ease of understanding figures below are approximates, commentary is given for principal expenditures only_
## Giving / Income
The year was again dominated by the impact of Covid 19, however regular giving in the year slowly began to rally by 1.4% over 2020 to £86,400 and reversed the decline experienced since 2019. As a precautionary measure we had revised our giving to the Diocese to £35,000 (including the £5,000 December bonus) in order to ensure that we could continue to pay furloughed staff at 100% of salary. Due to the unexpected extension of the Furlough scheme we enjoyed an unbudgeted income of £9,700 which together with stronger giving enabled us to undertake essential building maintenance on our flat roof using revenue rather than depleting the capital that we have accumulated in advance of the proposed major development.
A closer analysis shows giving through plate fell by a further 80% (2[nd] year running) , and envelopes fell by 27% but this was offset by a 4.8% increase in standing orders (mainly through the Parish Giving Scheme) and an up-lift in one off donations. Gift aid funding although down 14% was above expectations and added £4,100 to income.
We continued to support the activity of a youth worker throughout the year with regular income covering the costs. The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) continues to be the predominant way of donating to the church accounting for 76% of our income compared to Plate at 0%, direct debit 13% and of course envelopes at 11%. The scheme has proved a life line for the church during our period of closure and offers the church the benefit of receiving gift aid almost immediately as opposed to waiting for an annual return. Once again I would like to make my request for as many people as possible to consider moving to donation via this scheme to guarantee our cash flow.
## **Activities**
Hall Activity – rent rallied during the year against 2020 as we recommenced rentals from August, and delivered £6,400 income. Regrettably we lost our two largest historical renters due to our cautious approach to recommence rental and both Rock Choir and Slimming World found new homes. However we managed to retain Dance On, Rugbytots and the various uniform groups. We need to now seek new renters to drive income back to the pre covid levels of nearly £18,000.
Toddler activity – due to the pandemic we ceased to operate the Toddler group and as such enjoyed no income during the year. Cafe Activity – Our cafe recommended trading from May and delivered a much needed £12,100 to the bottom line (almost covering its costs of £13,900). It will however take some time to reestablish trading at the levels experienced pre covid of nearly £33,000.
Meet And Eat Activity – activity was largely curtailed during the year delivering just £213 for the year to church funds.
General events – our outreach events were curtailed due to the pandemic. However, we continued to provide an outreach to the community by way of a shopping, prescription and general help line. We commenced the year delivering food hampers during January and February and closed the year delivering bags of kindness during November and December. These activities were funded through a combination of grants and the generosity of people’s time and financial donations.
## **Funds**
Building Fund – remained static Cafe grant fund - remained static. Flower fund – remained static.
The Toothill Altar fund had no transactions during the period. The JOY fund was expanded during the year and includes the donations and grants that were received to facilitate outreach into the community during the pandemic (details are found in the
general activities section). The fund increased over the year by £1,591 and the balance of the excess funds will continue to be invested in community support during 2022.
The legacy fund remained static, however, church members are encouraged to consider this as an option for their own wills. Finally the designated funds for the Kitchen/Building have both been static during the year.
The General reserve fund shrank by just £1,730 – an excellent outcome against a backdrop of such uncertainty. It will continue to enable PCC to utilise the reserve against a number of options including common fund, building or youth work.
## **Charity**
In addition to our own funding we continued our commitment to Agape - £500. Furthermore we collected and distributed money to five charities - Shelter, CMS, Christian Aid, Trussel Trust and the Children's Society.
## **Conclusion**
Our overall funds fell from a starting position of £106,999 to £106,429, a decrease of just £570 which is a solid financial performance against the backdrop of a pandemic during which we were able undertake essential maintenance on our building , deliver a realistic Diocese share and retain all of our loyal employees on 100% of their take home pay.
We have yet to commence our construction work to improve the operation and fabric of the building, but we have appointed a new architect and plans are being put in place to begin work after the end of the pandemic during 2022. This once again leaves me with the conclusion that we remain in a strong position to continue our growth. My thanks extend to Liz Smith for her accurate recording of transactions, David Rogerson for his continued guidance and experience, and Michael Fenton for his support with the auditing of the figures.
Phill Jackson, Treasurer
## **Structure, governance and management**
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Francis the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, the churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services and are part of our worshiping community are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how the funds of PCC are to be spent.
The full PCC met on ten occasions during the year with an average level of attendance.
Urgent business was dealt with by a Standing Committee consisting of the incumbent, any curate, the wardens, PCC lay vice chair, PCC secretary and PCC treasurer which also acts as the agenda committee for PCC. This committee, except in an emergency, has a limited budget and reports all matters of relevance back to PCC for approval.

Commission. An examination indudes a review of the accounb'ng records kept by the dlarity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disdosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees
conmIng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would
be required in an audit, arKI 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 (rt in the ststement below.
Independent examlnerfs sLitement

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in aordan section 130 of the 2011 Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord wth the accounting record5 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.
