ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Meadgate Church PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the team rector, the Rev. Canon Timothy Ball, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has the maintenance responsibilities for the Church centre complexes at the Parade and the Orchards.

Background information

Meadgate Church was established as a daughter church to St Mary the Virgin, Great Baddow, in 1963 to serve the needs of the Meadgate district which comprises a mix of former council housing now run by Chelmer Housing Partnership, and a number of privately owned dwellings. The church started in the home of one of the founder members and quickly grew, such that a church was built as part of the Meadgate Parade. Following various extensions as the church grew an opportunity to take over the site of the former Meadgate Junior School was taken advantage of and in July 2014 the Church took a three year lease from Essex County Council on the site now known as The Orchards, where as well as running Sunday services we have opened a cafe with under 5s soft play area which is open 5 days a week in school terms, as well as making the rooms available for other agencies serving the needs of the Meadgate Community. The lease was extended in 2017 allowing for discussions and agreement in principal for the purchase of the site, which completed on 16 September 2020.

Mission statement

Aiming to be like Jesus by being intentional, inspirational, invitational.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Church attendance

There are 107 people registered on the Electoral Roll (2021: 105). Approximately 70 adults and 10 children attend the services each Sunday.

Review of church council and church meeting business during the year.

The PCC meets approximately every quarter with additional sub-committee meetings for mission, buildings and finance held when needed. Copies of the minutes are available to all church members on request after they have been signed and agreed by the PCC. Meetings continued as planned during the year, and were largely conducted virtually.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Meadgate Church has once again witnessed the blessings and provision of God in respect of its finances.

We started the year with a budgeted surplus of £936 for the General Fund and Orchards Cafe Fund combined, and ended at break-even. However, this break-even figure included a transfer of £11,294 into the Reserve Fund, and so these combined Funds generated a surplus prior to the funds transfer significantly in excess of budget. The General Fund ended the year with an unchanged balance of £33,327.

Total income on ordinary unrestricted funds was £245,246 (2021: £205,198). Total unrestricted expenditure amounted to £222,619 (2021: £188,622). On the income side, giving by church members continued at similar levels to 2021, and both lettings and Cafe income were significantly higher than 2021 with there being no COVID impact in 2022. Expenditure was significantly higher than 2021, largely as a result of the church operating normally during 2022 without any COVID impact.

The Church continues to pay in full our Deanery Share (or Family Purse) contribution – this year £60,865 (2021: £66,176).

Following the purchase of The Orchards in 2020, the Orchards Purchase Fund is now sitting at £435,862 (2021: £415,531), represented entirely by the net asset value of The Orchards. £536 was transferred out of this Fund into the Reserve Fund. The Orchards Refurbishment Fund ended the year at £12,463 (2021: £16,414), with £48,858 having been spent on refurbishment works during 2022, these being primarily the replacement of windows and doors at the rear entrance of the building and at the front right-hand side. The PCC is extremely grateful to the Asda Foundation for its generous support in providing a matched-funding grant of £25,000 for the purpose of replacing the windows and doors at The Orchards. £20,000 of this grant was received in 2022, with the balance of £5,000 expected to be received in 2023 once further windows and doors have been replaced.

The Community Assist Fund is now sitting at £1,583 (2021: £1,444), with income in 2022 of £1,378 and having funded £1,238 of donations of food and other essential items to those in need.

BALANCE SHEET Page 17
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
46 The Parade is held on a long lease and, as a dedicated building that is used for Church purposes, its leasehold value
is not included in these accounts. Its insurance value in 2016 was £1,100,000.
The Orchards was purchased from Essex County Council (ECC) on 16 September 2020 for the sum of £650,000,
with a further £12,080 incurred in legal fees. Although the Diocese is the custodian tustee holding the deeds, the
purchase price plus fees has been added as a fixed asset on to the balance sheet, as Meadgate Church has taken
out a loan for £260,000 from The Diocese to finance the purchase and has yet to repay the loan.
The loan is for 20 years at an interest rate of 2.5% above base. The monthly repayments commenced on the 1st
October 2020, beginning at £1,390.45, and increased to £1,733.14 from January 2023 onwards.
It should also be noted that under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement with ECC, should The Orchards be
sold within eighty years of its acquisition by Meadgate Church, then 50% of any resulting profit will be payable to
ECC.
It should also be noted that the PCC made twelve monthly repayments in 2022, and an additional loan repayment
of £12,271 in September 2022, drawing down on the Reserve Fund. This additional repayment is reflected in the
2022 repayments shown in the table below.
