3. Aims and Purposes

Frensham PCC with the Incumbent, Revd Jane Walker has the responsibility to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical throughout the ecclesiastical parish. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St Mary the Virgin, Frensham and The Church of the Good Shepherd, Dockenfield. As trustees of the Charitable Trust of the Benefice of Frensham, the purpose of each PCC member is to be responsible for the management, the running, the review, evaluation and reporting on the charity.

4. Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our Churches and to become part of our parish community within the Benefice of Frensham. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout our parish, and our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, our objective is to enable people to live out their faith through:

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of St. Mary the Virgin, Frensham and The Church of the Good Shepherd, Dockenfield.

9. Fabric, Goods, Ornaments & Churchyard

Fabric

Following the departure of Roderick Adam Smith as chair of the Fabric Committee, Richard Potter chaired the Fabric Committee, followed by Eunice King when Richard stepped back. Meetings were held regularly and minutes fed back to the PCC with meeting papers.

The Church of the Good Shepherd

Due to Covid, the Church of the Good Shepherd was closed for the first 5 months of 2021. We held its’ first reopening service on 6[th] June which was a celebratory Worship and Fellowship service. Therein afterwards the usual pattern of services resumed by having Book of Common Prayer communion services on the remaining Sundays of the month. Prior to restarting the services, the church was thoroughly cleaned with the help of many local villager volunteers, for which we are truly grateful.

During the time of closure, the church was checked weekly to monitor both possibility of damp and the damage that the bat excrement and urine was causing.

Hiring of the church did not recommence until June 2021 when the people involved felt they could more safely meet under Covid guidelines. Please see Hall hiring report from Barbara Potter.

During 2021, the PCC sought to assess the viability of the church of the Good Shepherd by initially asking the community of Dockenfield if they would like it to reopen, to which there was very little response. Due to the lack of response, the PCC then sent out a survey to the community which outlined that if there was little response then it would not be viable to keep the church of the Good Shepherd going. The response was better, and due to a number of local people being passionate about it being used for both church and community use, we are now on a journey of promotion for the building with the support of the Dockenfield Parish Council and the public in general who did not want to see the only public building (apart from the Blue Bell public house) in Dockenfield close.

On the back of this rise in positivity, the project of pew removal and insertion of new chairs in the Church of the Good Shepherd was again raised at the PCC to make it far more useable for both church and community. As funds were available for the complete cost (due to previous donations and a government grant to reimburse the church for finances lost due to lack of hall hire during the pandemic), once the PCC were in agreement, we were able to go ahead with ordering 48 chairs. Then it was suggested at a subsequent PCC that the Dockenfield Parish Council might purchase a number of chairs, as the building was to be for both church and community, so that we could have more for bigger village meetings and increase its general use. The DPC agreed to pay for 20 chairs and the PCC 40 chairs, thus a total of 60 beautiful and useable (lighter in weight and stackable) arts and crafts chairs were ordered in line with the faculty stipulations from the Lord Chancellor. At this time, it was also agreed by the PCC that we would remove extraneous furniture from the Church of the Good Shepherd (a cupboard and the curate’s chair) as they are not needed. The faculty covered all of this. It has been possible to sell the majority of the pews to local businesses and people, although there are still two left, which we will continue to try to sell.

The following actions were carried out during the year:

St Mary’s Church

The church is in good condition overall. Following another lockdown from Boxing Day 2020 until the end of March 2021, the church was not open for Sunday services. However, we were allowed to film them under Covid guidelines and this we did and put them up on YouTube so that both congregation and parishioners, etc. could still worship God. During this year when the church was open for prayer, all Covid guidelines of sanitisation, mask wearing and social distancing were observed and the prayer pews were cleaned at the end of each day. Out first Sunday service together was outside the church on 28[th] March, Palm Sunday and a full risk assessment was completed in order to achieve this. Subsequently our first service in the church was Easter Day, with greatly reduced numbers. Therein, with all Covid restrictions in place we have continued with services inside the church.

In order that the people of the congregation did not have to handle books or papers and also that the people watching on-line could join in with the liturgy and hymns, the content of the service was shown by PowerPoint on a portable screen by use of a projector, which was placed on a board on the pulpit – this being the most visible and safe place for the screen to go. Whilst there were some concerns about health and safety with this system, this was mitigated by careful cable taping, and red tape around where people should not walk or touch equipment. Also, only those trained in the erection of both screen and projector are authorised to do so. It has been a very successful system and enabled interactive worship and prayer which have very much benefitted the people of God. We continue to use this system as have not been able to fundraise as yet for an integral system for the church.

Regarding the bell refurbishment, the faculty was processed for which myself and the PCC are truly grateful to Eunice King for completing. Then it was just a case of fundraising when we were able and applying for grants from various bell and other charities. We give grateful thanks to Bell Tower Captain Harry Glover for his extensive work fundraising and planning for the work required when the bells will be taken out in January 2022. We also thank Paul Marshall (Tower Keeper) and all those bell ringers who constantly assist with the tower maintenance, as well as ringing for us on a weekly basis.

The following actions were carried out during the year:

General

Church insurance continues with Trinitas at annual cost of £1,998.20 for St Mary’s and £1,031.63 for the Good Shepherd.

Both Rev’d Jane Walker and the PCC are hugely grateful and give great thanks to Chris Mitchley and Brian King for their hard work throughout the year and for supplying much of the materials needed for all these repairs and maintenance. Overall, this has saved a huge amount of money for the church at a time when funds are very tight. We also greatly thank Eunice King who has both guided the work using the Quinquennial report and who has also carried out the health and safety assessment which has led to the need for much of the work.

Goods and ornaments

The goods and ornaments for both churches are in good order. The vestments at the church of the Good Shepherd are in such poor condition that this subject was taken to a PCC meeting and it was agreed that the priest could wear an alb with a simple stole. Rev’d Jane has offered to purchase new ‘arts and crafts’ stoles for the church in the liturgical colours. She will investigate ones with sheep or the good shepherd on when next at a Christian Resources exhibition.

Four items of silver from St Mary’s continue to be lodged in Guildford Cathedral Treasury, comprising flagon, paten, chalice and salver. Due to continued Covid restrictions, these were not used during 2021 and so have remained at the Cathedral.

Page 8 of 25

Regarding the goods and ornaments, and indeed the entire contents of both churches, Rev’d Jane Walker and the PCC recognise the massive amount of work that Eunice King has devoted to completing both terriers and log books for both the churches over a period of two years, even after she had stepped down from being church warden last year. We are truly grateful for all the time and effort she has given to complete this for the church.

Churchyards

St Mary’s - Revd Jane Walker and the PCC are truly grateful to David Millais and the team of volunteers who graciously give up their time to maintain the 2 acres of graveyard. This year during the summer the majority of the graveyard to the rear of the church was allowed to go to meadow in order to help with the natural ecology. Despite writing about this in the church magazine Rev’d Jane did receive a number of complaints (mainly from people who live away) but these were mostly appeased when an explanation was given. At the end of the year, it took a huge effort and much extra work to bring the graveyard back in order. We are very grateful to the volunteers for all this extra effort. Certainly, it was worth it for all the increased wildlife – especially butterflies – that were observed. We will aim to do this again in 2022. Over the year Chris has continued to move extra soil to even up various areas of uneven ground. David Millais has also generously continued to get the mowers serviced for which we give heartfelt thanks. Finally, we give great thanks for all the team leaders who supply fuel for the machines – your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Good Shepherd - Revd Jane Walker and the PCC are truly grateful to Rob Cregeen and his team who mow (and also supply fuel for the mower) the grass at the Good Shepherd. The pattern outlined by Dan Bosence has been maintained and the wildflower meadow areas were even more successful this year. The area to the right of the path also looked fabulous in Spring when all the extra bulbs planted at the October Harvest service came up. Huge thanks to Rob, Olly, Robyn, Tim and Mark who helped to cut the hedges in September ready for the winter.

In the absence of a church warden this report was written by Rev’d Jane Walker, Vicar.

10. Farnham Deanery Synod

Farnham Deanery Synod had planned to meet on four occasions in 2021 (January, April, July and November), but the pandemic continued to disrupt normal routines and only the third and fourth meetings actually took place. The first meeting of the year was held at the Area Dean’s church (St Mary’s in Frensham) on Saturday 24 July, preceded by a socially-distanced communion service, led by the Area Dean. Looking outwards at the wider church, the meeting noted:

Looking internally, the meeting discussed the Deanery website and the Deanery Leadership Team:

This may extend to resource allocation in due course, but at present the Synod does not have such powers or functions.

But the most important topic for discussion was the impact of the pandemic on the parishes. Synod members from the various benefices described the negative and positive (yes, there were positive) effects on their congregations and communities:

Page 9 of 25

One question that emerged was what to do for on-line contacts once normality returns.

The second meeting was held at St Alban’s Church in Hindhead on Thursday 4 November. The first topic was the Archbishop of Canterbury’s visit to the Diocese in September, with a series of events planned to cover different angles and appeal to different audiences. The Archbishop used fresh material each time, but was not able to cover all the questions raised.

Then the Synod discussed the pandemic and various members gave an update on its continuing impact on parish life:

The meeting was informed that the new Deanery website was now sufficiently advanced to be useful and a link would be provided to all the parishes. A draft strategy programme or framework had been prepared by the Deanery Strategy Team and was circulated to the synod members. It covers the 2022-2023 timeframe.

Looking forward, a full programme of four meeting, with dates selected to match Diocesan Synod meetings, was announced.

11. Frensham Parochial Charity Trust

During the year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 the charity had an income of £2,664.99 and an expenditure of £2,600.00. The balance in hand was £729.02.

The Trustees met on 19 October 2020 and agreed a distribution of £650 to each Parish.

Frensham spent this money by a combination of vouchers in the village shop and grants to parishioners in need. During the pandemic the trustees met on 27 October 2021 and agreed a distribution to each of the four Parishes of £700. In Frensham, the majority of this was used in the form of vouchers at the village shop for the parishioners and a contribution towards the lunch club, and Tea at 3.

12. Hire of Buildings

St Mary's Church Hall

St Mary's Church Hall reopened for bookings in June 2021 and since then many different classes and events have taken place including:

The Good Shepherd, Dockenfield

The Good Shepherd also reopened for bookings in June 2021. The removal of the pews has made the Church more versatile so that it can be used for different events and classes. These have included:

Both St Mary's Church Hall and The Good Shepherd, Dockenfield are getting very well used but more bookings are always welcome.

13. Music

St Mary’s Choir

I must admit that I find myself challenged to write this report. Most of the past year has been spent trying to keep our heads above water – musically speaking. However, the choir has risen to the occasion numerous times and demonstrated enthusiasm, resilience and determination to keep singing in St Mary’s Church.

The year began with the “choir” being limited to 6 singers, socially distanced, at both rehearsals and services. This meant that our choice of music was limited and that we had to ensure that the chosen 6 singers were able to attend both the Tuesday rehearsal and the Sunday service. What would we have done without emails??

We continued with 6 singers until July when, on Tuesday 20th, we were able to have our first full choir practice of 2021! This marked our return to some form of relative normality.

In addition to the Sunday services, we were able to sing at several weddings during the summer, a choral evensong in October (Smith Responses, Walmisley in D Evening Canticles and the anthem, “Give us the wings of faith” by Ernest Bullock), Pat Clough’s funeral (“A Gaelic Blessing” by John Rutter, “Cantique de Jean Racine” by Fauré) and at Malc & Jill Billing’s wedding (“A Clare Benediction” by John Rutter and “Jesu, joy of man’s desiring” by J S Bach). We sang Will Todd’s wonderful anthem, “The call of wisdom” at the All Souls’ service at the end of October.

In November, we sang “So they gave their bodies to the commonwealth” by Peter Aston at the Service of Remembrance and for Advent Sunday evening we sang a service of readings and music based on the Great “O” Antiphons – this was a magical service, starting in candlelight at the back of the darkened church and progressing through the service to a glorious “O come, O come, Emmanuel” as the final hymn.

It was, therefore, a great disappointment that, for the second year running, we were unable to have the Carol Service in the church. Again, the choir rose to the occasion and, with only a few days’ notice, we swapped the accompanied carols for unaccompanied ones and braved the cold for another delightful Carol service outside – the stuff of which a certain type of Christmas card is made – but without the snow!

The change to the outdoor service was particularly disappointing to me as for the past 6 years I have been awaiting the publication of Philip Stopford’s carol, “I wonder as I wander” which was to end this year’s Carol service – perhaps next year? And so for the second year running, here’s hoping for an indoor Carol Service in 2022!

During the year we welcomed Richard Walker into the choir bass section – it has been great to have him singing with us!

Page 11 of 25

I would like to thank Jane for her support and wisdom, Barbara for sorting music after we have used it, Aly for her musical wisdom and both Aly and Mark for conducting when I have been playing the organ.

Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the choir for their dedication, their musicianship and their friendship. St Mary’s Choir is a very special group of people and long may it continue to sing God’s praise in Frensham.

Mike Smith Organist

St Mary’s Organ

The organ has been used throughout the year for Sunday services, weddings and funerals, for recitals and concerts. This year I restarted the series of Tuesday lunchtime organ recitals with a recital on Tuesday 14th September with some of my favourite pieces. We subsequently changed the dates of the recitals to the 3rd Tuesday of the month when I realised that St Andrew’s, Farnham, were planning to restart their series of lunchtime organ recitals on the 2nd Tuesday of each month!

Since then we have welcomed Gillian Lloyd, Rob Goldfinch and Brian Cotterill to play for us and entertain a small but loyal following of listeners. So, if you are free on a Tuesday lunchtime and would like homemade soup and bread at 12:00 followed at 13:00 by a recital of organ music, old and new, played on St Mary’s fine organ, do come along. There is no charge for admission, but donations to cover the series expenses are most welcome.

I believe the organ in St Mary’s to be a marvellous instrument and it continues to be a source of great joy to me.

Mike Smith Organist

14. The Vine Centre, Aldershot

Firstly, I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported The Vine Centre with donations during 2021.

2021 started with a new lockdown and as a result an increase in demand for delivered food parcels, home cooked meals and care packages to the most vulnerable and isolated people in the community.

In 2021 The Vine Centre also introduced:

Please continue to support The Vine Centre during 2022 which will no doubt be another very difficult year for many people and remember to look out for my updates each month in the Parish Magazine.

Page 12 of 25

Finally, I would like to thank the Frensham Village Shop for their continued support for The Vine Centre. There is a 'Vine Centre' box in the shop where you can buy and leave your donations. You can also leave your donations in the Vine Centre basket at the crossing in St Mary's Church.

THANK YOU once again for all your tremendous and continued support for The Vine Centre and always remember that the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest impact.

Karen Nockels PCC Member & The Vine Centre Ambassador

14. Parish Friends

Over the year there were a few changes to the team of Parish Friends who continued to manage the evolving COVID19 environment and support all those resident in our villages. After many years of transport service, Guy Olden retired from the team and we thank him for his help. Trisha Verity joined in November and we look forward to introducing her in our February 2022 meeting.

Parish Friends continue to support by keeping in contact with neighbours, transporting those needing help for vaccinations, boosters and regular hospital appointments and collecting pharmacy items or supporting those recovering from illness at home. They also visit newcomers to the villages taking a Parish Magazine, an updated Welcome Booklet and a Frensham Village Shop bag-for-life voucher.

The Welcome Booklet went through quite an update with a full fact-check of contacts and useful local information together with beautiful colour photographs, thanks to Simon Claiden. The first print run in May 2021 was exhausted within months, with so many new residents in the villages, so a further 25 copies were printed in November. Parish Friends meet at least twice a year to cover regular business, collect Baptism anniversary cards to send and to make contact and discuss any concerns or areas of worry. The February meeting was conducted via Zoom and also contained a presentation from our local Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity, with CEO Andy Cook explaining what goes on down Arkell Lane and Claire Hughes detailing what she does as educational consultant for the charity.

In October, the team met in person at St Mary’s to conduct regular business and distribute the annual Harvest Produce and flowers. These were taken to parishioners by their Parish Friends, with the excess donated to The Vine Centre and the food bank. It was also agreed that Parish Friends would again distribute income from the Frensham Parochial Charitable Trust in the form of Village Shop vouchers to some parishioners at Christmas, on behalf of the Vicar.

A small sub-meeting took place in November, when Trisha Verity joined the team, to agree areas for Trisha, Vicki Hinde and Lynda Newman to cover, moving forward. These areas are now agreed and are published monthly in the Parish Magazine, just inside the cover in the Yellow Pages. The full list of Friends with their local telephone numbers and the areas they cover are available for anyone to see and get in contact, as they see fit.

Finally, with only one baptism taking place in 2020, it was pleasing to witness thirteen baptisms of children during 2021! Each child has a Parish Friend assigned to them, who will continue to send anniversary cards for the next four years.

Claire Hughes (Co-ordinator) Morag James Parish Friends Chairman

15. Parish Magazine

We continue to try to cover as many different aspects of parish and village life as possible and to find articles about a range of subjects which we hope will interest our readers.

The new (or fairly new) colour photo on the cover is beginning to generate quite an interest among local photographers and each month we, with the help of Revd. Jane, Mayonne Coldicott (Distribution & Subscriptions) and Liz Pollard (Commercial Adverts), have the enjoyable (but sometimes difficult) task of selecting which photo to use. All the photographs are then put on the church website so that everyone can enjoy them.

Page 13 of 25

As always we are grateful to Mayonne Coldicott for handling subscriptions and distributions, to Liz Pollard for organising the commercial adverts, to the distributors, contributors and, of course, our readers.

Philippa Hall & Penny Garrard Co-Editors

Parish Magazine Financial Report

I was fortunate in inheriting a well-functioning distribution system from Susan last spring. There’s a natural flow, from Editors, to the Printer, back to Frensham and out to our subscribers, via a team of 36 distributors. However, the next step in the process, annual subs collection, was disrupted 2 years ago. Many subscribers now pay by bank transfer; a surprising number forget, causing some aggravation to our patient distributors, who take responsibility for their own rounds.

Financial results for Parish Magazine for 2021 reflect an increase in subscription price from £7.20 to £10 pa, and an increase in our printing costs for the 'new look' magazines.

Subscriber income totalled £4,347 (a 71% increase over 2020) and Advertising income £3,440. Costs totalled £5,135 for the year, so the Parish magazine generated a healthy net surplus of £2,652 for the year.

I’d like to thank Philippa and Penny for welcoming me to the team – it’s been fun!; to Susan Farnell-Watson and Jon Savage, for the thorough hand-over; and to Jill Billings, our Treasurer, for her patient support. And there are special thanks to our supportive distributors, the final links in the chain, getting our local news through letterboxes every month.

Mayonne Coldicot Parish Magazine Manager

Parish Magazine Commercial Advertising

Susan diligently handed over the PM advertising to me last summer and the PM team have kindly welcomed me to the fold, thank you!

This has been an interesting role reversal for me as with my ‘daytime job’ in marketing I am more accustomed to buying advertising space than selling it. However, it has not been going too badly. We lost 6 advertisers at renewal time in Nov/Dec 2021 for a variety of reasons including pending retirement, cessation of trading and non-payment (!). However we have gained another 10, including 2 more starting in March and another in April, and that number will continue rising I hope. It is a very effective way of promoting local businesses.

16. Safeguarding Report

I am pleased to report that there have been no ‘Safeguarding Issues’ in 2021.

Disclosure & Barring (DBS) renewals are a continuing exercise. The online service makes the process simple for both the applicant and me.

I can report that all our volunteers are up to date with their Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks and Safeguarding Training requirements. The following table gives an overview of the number of volunteers involved.

Note that:

17. St Mary’s Frensham Bell Ringers

For much of the first half of 2021 the church was closed as a consequence of the Covid lockdown restrictions, so we had no service ringing and no practices. The very limited ringing that did occur mostly involved just one ringer at a time, and including ringing for:

During the first half of the year, several ringers ‘rang’ together using an on-line virtual ringing programme, called ‘ringingroom.com’. Once lockdown restrictions eased we were able to ring four bells for Sunday services and weddings between 23rd May and the end of July. Then following further easing of restrictions we were able to re-start ‘normal’ ringing practices on 26th July, wedding ringing on 28th July and service ringing on 8th August.

However, we have not been able to revert to our pre-Covid numbers and have lost several ringers for a variety of reasons. On the ‘plus’ side we have four new recruits.

As is usual, the Union Jack, the Diocesan Flag and the RAF Ensign were flown from the top of the Tower on appropriate dates during the year.

We held our AGM in Holy Week on 29th March, not in person, but via Zoom; the following officers were elected:

Page 15 of 25

During the course of the year a Purchase Order was placed with Taylor’s Bellfoundry in Loughborough for a ‘once-infifty-years’ overhaul of our bells. The work started on 10th January 2022 and is anticipated to take about 10 weeks. In addition to earlier donations and pledges, we received further generous donations and over £3,000 from the Village Shop’s “Giveback’ initiative, so we are well on-track to meet the expected cost of some £33,000.

No Peals or Quarter Peals were rung in 2021, but it is hoped that some will be rung in 2022 once the bells are re-hung. Our last ringing of the year was on Christmas Day, and preliminary work – before arrival of the Bellhanger on 10th January 2022 – was started on 28th December.

18. Report of the Parish Priest

This report is a comprehensive appraisal of the practical and spiritual life of the church for the year Jan- Dec 2021. Our strategic mission, pastoral ministry and worship of the Trinitarian God for the Benefice of Frensham in 2021 continues to be underpinned by the vision of Guildford Diocese’s ‘Transforming Church, Transforming Lives’. However, as ‘Transforming Church Transforming Lives’ was refreshed at the Diocesan Synod in March 2022 in order to link more closely with the National vision and strategy work, I shall be using the new format for the structure of my report. TCTL now contains just three broad groups:

Growing disciples, Growing community, and growing diversity.

All these are underpinned by the five marks of mission in the Anglican communion which are:

  1. To proclaim the Good News of God’s Kingdom

  2. To teach, preach and nurture new believers

  3. To respond to human need by loving service

  4. To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation

  5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

Note: due to the closure of the churches and reduced numbers in the congregation due to the ongoing pandemic, this report does not contain the usual appendices giving the numbers of attendees or yearly trends.

Introduction

Whereas 2020 was a year of illness, death, isolation and loss of freedom (all of which generally or specifically increased people’s anxiety and depression), 2021 has been a rollercoaster of a year coping with these very real emotions and worries whilst trying to work toward health recovery and a ‘new normal’ – often taking 1 step forward and 2 back. The added work of doing risk assessments, seating plans, maintaining Covid restrictions and at times policing crowds so that people adhered to the rules, on top of trying to get back to ‘being church’, was incredibly stressful for all in leadership for the Benefice. Consequently, with the need for frequent risk assessments and necessary implementation of precautions due to the vacillating global pandemic situation and varying national restrictions in 2021, this has meant that we have had to mainly prioritise attention to these over our Benefice Church Development Plan (CDP) in order to

Page 16 of 25

‘keep the show on the road’. This is not to suggest there has been no development! There certainly has, which is impressive given the stress we have all been under.

The CDP aims we had in place were:

  1. Communication to the wider public in the Benefice - Continue improving relationships with council and other local groups.

  2. Organise a whole church vision day

  3. Send invitations for people to join in prayer – develop a prayer group.

  4. Fill church vacancies

  5. Develop projects making the church more visible in the community

  6. Invite more people to services and courses. Start a programme of inviting those who come for baptisms, marriages and funerals to Alpha courses or other spiritual/ worship courses or events. Focus and connecting with new people and making it easier for them to attend church in different ways.

  7. Grow the family friendly services

  8. Development of healing ministry

With the arrival of the Delta coronavirus variant late 2020 came another 3-month lockdown from Christmas Day night 2020, so the new year started with most people feeling incredibly low in spirit. However, because we had learnt and developed so much during the first year of the pandemic, we were able to continue recording services and put them up on YouTube, and continue to have zoom and Microsoft team meetings for both the church and the community with ease and confidence. Many people have e-mailed me to say how much they have appreciated and enjoyed the YouTube and on-line services – one lady wrote, ‘they have kept me connected to God and church’.

Having built effective community links by developing many activities such as the Nativity Nature Trail and joining with the village Saturday night quiz, which were both physical and virtual in 2020, these closer links have borne fruit in 2021 with new community projects, which will be appraised in this report under the relevant sections.

Growing Disciples: an appraisal of CDP 3, 6, 7, 8

Growing disciples is about proclaiming the Good News of God’s Kingdom in worship, teaching preaching and nurturing new and long-term Christians on their faith journey, and responding to human need in loving pastoral care. As a benefice we have achieved much this year despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic and necessary restrictions.

Regarding worship:

The Church was closed again for worship the first 3 months of 2021 and so we continued recording and putting the services up on YouTube at this time, and in fact for the whole of 2021, as when we were allowed to have an inside congregation again, numbers were very limited. This has been no mean feat and I am supremely appreciative and grateful for the skill and commitment of Jon Savage and Eunice King in continuing this essential service, which has been praised by many from far and wide. We recorded the Palm Sunday service outside the church and the Easter Day service was the first inside the church under strict Covid restrictions with a seating plan. I am grateful to Eunice King for doing this.

I am hugely grateful to Mike Smith and the choir who, when we had to close the church again this year, has continued to persevere in providing music and hymns for the services. Mike continued to collate recorded voices, editing and compiling hymns on the computer, to the benefit of all who tuned into the services. Once we were back in the church and could have a choir, all rose to this new challenge of how to sing and not continually reinfect each other. Despite many contracting Covid again, we have continued to have a choir for all the services. I am grateful for each member for respecting the Covid restrictions which enabled the choir to enhance the worship of God greatly.

A new said evening prayer service on the third Sunday of the month started up in 2021 following a request from Richard Walker and a group from Rowledge. Following each service there was a talk on a famous Christian which was

Page 17 of 25

both interesting and illuminating, followed by refreshments. I am grateful to Richard, Lesley Voice and Roy Waight for organising this.

I give a special mention here of Peter James, to whom I am truly grateful for organising the Remembrance services this year, again under exceptionally restricted conditions, this time more due to third parties not being able to cover the insurance for personnel, road closures and a procession from the Frensham memorial to St Mary’s church. This meant we could not be by the Frensham memorial this year but had the service on the green. With larger crowds than last year and with a risk assessment and seating plan for the church, it was a resounding success celebrating 100 years of the RBL in Frensham. My huge thanks to Barbara Potter who made an outstanding altar frontal using poppies and to all who assisted in making this essential service of remembrance possible.

This year, due to the death of Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, we did a special prayerful service to honour him, as the Queen is our Patron. This was recorded and put up on YouTube.

The Advent carol service inside the church whose focus was on the ‘Great O’s’ was very prayerful and spiritually moving. It was quite well attended too.

The Christingle service was very enjoyable and carefully interactive considering the restrictions. But numbers were very low in comparison to ‘normal’ years.

The outdoor ‘Carols at the Royal British Legion’ were actually indoor and sadly quite poorly attended this year, but this was on the back of yet another variant of Covid and people were very fearful of mixing indoors at this time.

Surprisingly the ‘Christmas Carol’ service at the front of St Mary’s Church was packed! People came well wrapped up with their garden chairs ready to participate. We ran out of orders of service and mince pies and mulled wine! Everyone was so appreciative that we tried to keep them as safe as possible given the new stresses with regard to higher Covid infection rates. My thanks to all who made these special services possible, especially Jon Savage, Eunice and Pat telfer for ‘Verging’, Brian King for sorting the PA system and lighting; Mike and the choir; all the readers and everyone who helped set up and tidy up afterwards. I believe this outdoor Christmas Carol service may become a tradition!

The crib services were held in both churches this year but with very low numbers.

The Christmas Day service was a joyful affair and with good numbers of people attending who had booked and we had both a risk assessment and seating plan, with Covid restrictions in place to ensure everyone’s safety.

Throughout this year, I continue to give thanks for the commitment and dedication of my verger Barbara Potter, the sacristans, the sidesmen and Jean Shepheard’s care of the fine linens, without whom worship couldn’t happen to such

Page 18 of 25

a high standard. I give thanks also to Harry Glover and all the bell ringers who have brought joy and called people to worship even though severely limited with the Covid-19 restrictions.

Reflecting on the CDP aims regarding worship:

3: We have not developed prayer groups this year due to the vacillating Covid conditions. Depending on the next vision day for the PCC in 2022 when the CDP will be updated and no doubt changed, prayer groups may or may not occur in 2022.

7: We have not developed the family services this year due to the vacillating Covid conditions. Depending on the next vision day for the PCC in 2022 when the CDP will be updated and no doubt changed, these may or may not occur in 2022.

Regarding teaching, preaching and nurturing new and long-term Christians on their faith journey:

This year there has been much teaching through the forum which has been both on-line through Microsoft teams with the help and organising by Jon Savage, for which I am hugely grateful. The diversity in which we study and learn is great and includes Bible Study, politics, environmental subjects, other faiths, hobbies, experiences and many other interesting topics.

We started our first Alpha course in September in person in St Mary’s Church Hall which was well attended and much appreciated by both the church goers and new people who were exploring about faith. Thank you especially to Jon Savage who has done all the administration for the Alpha Course. Thank you to Barbara Potter for helping me with the cooking and Cheryl Savage for being our ‘washer-upper.’ We are looking forward to starting another course in the Spring.

This year the Lent course was ‘Bridges to contemplative living’ with regard to our faith, which used meditations by Thomas Merton (a Cistercian monk) and was held on Microsoft teams with a small attendance.

In preaching throughout the year, I have continued to convey the love of God for all God’s children, welcoming those of all faiths and none by being inclusive and sticking to our progressive mission statements of ‘creating an environment where God’s love gets through’, ‘meeting people where they are at’, and ‘walking together in God’s love.’ New people have started attending regularly at both churches and so I believe the message of God’s Good News in Jesus Christ is getting through.

Archbishop Justin Welby came to Frensham at the end of September 2021 to encourage new Christians to ask him any question. We are truly grateful to Jon Hetherington, the head teacher of More House School and his staff for hosting this prestigious event which was well attended, although the questions were somewhat lacking in either theological or practical depth! I’m not sure it achieved its overall premise of getting more new people to attend local Christian courses, but it was really good to meet with the Archbishop, who was a very engaging and thoughtful man who clearly liked to be amongst the people and have conversations with them.

Due to the various closures and restrictions on visiting the schools I have been unable to do assemblies or ‘Open the Book’ this year, although I have recorded some services which have been shown to the children at St Mary’s school. However, behind the scene I have been working closely with St Mary’s School and helped to develop a more connected and unified vision programme between the church and the school. Also, because we could not do any of the usual services or teaching of the Holy Week and Easter story with the children, we developed an outside Holy Week and Easter Walk (HWEW) between the churches (on a similar model to the Nativity Nature Trail but with the story of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection). This also was well received by all who did the walk. The children all also received a book about Easter as a gift from the church.

Also due to the various closures and restrictions on visiting the schools, I have been unable to visit the children at Edgeborough for assemblies, although I have been able to support the staff through various personal difficulties. I also was able to visit and support and pray for the head master Dan Thornburn as he left Edgeborough at Christmas. We await the new head teacher after Easter 2022.

Page 19 of 25

Cherubs parent and toddler group started up again in September at Dockenfield every Thursday in term time and has been steadily growing. There have been times when we have had 28 children! I am very grateful to Fiona Ricketts for her help each week.

Regarding nurture: I particularly thank Morag James my Pastoral Assistant for her continued and devoted service with regard to weddings and baptisms and pastoral care. I am also thankful for the Parish Friends who keep in contact with Baptism families for 5 years following a baptism and send a card each year on the anniversary.

In 2021, we were able to baptise 1 adult and 13 children. Most of the preparation and form-filling-in for baptisms was done on Zoom, which was very effective.

In 2021 we caught up with many of the marriages which were postponed from 2020. This continued to be a very complicated and stressful process for all requiring a marriage risk assessment and then seating plans for each marriage. We kept Covid restrictions in place but, for a number of reasons, quite a few people did not want to adhere to them, which added to the overall stress. Also, in 2021 there ceased to be marriage registration in churches, which was a huge change and required the changing of marriage liturgy. This again complicated an already complicated Covid system and took a while to take on board at a particularly stressful time for both couples and priests! In 2021 we were able to marry 6 couples and conduct 1 marriage blessing.

I did do some marriage preparation both in person in St Mary’s Church Hall under Covid restrictions, and also via zoom, but this is always much harder than being together in a group and could not be as extensive, deep or spiritual as usual. I am truly grateful for the support I have from both Barbara Potter and Morag James with marriage preparation, which is always a big learning curve for our couples who are quite affected by the depth of teaching that occurs and the guidance and support we give them.

Reflecting on the CDP aims regarding teaching, preaching and nurturing new and long-term Christians on their faith journey:

6: Whilst we have invited people to Alpha courses and various services, we haven’t yet linked this to weddings, baptisms and funerals. This is due to the amount of administration this would need, and without a parish administrator I have not been able to achieve linking weddings, baptisms and funeral to Christian courses in 2021.

Regarding responding to human need in loving pastoral care:

In 2021 I was still very much restricted in being able to visit people in their homes, so as not to spread the virus. However, as things eased a little, I have gradually been able to take home communions to house-bound people and give healing prayers with people again, although still maintaining social distancing in their premises, in their gardens or at the churches.

I am greatly appreciative of Morag James, Claire Hughes and the Parish friends who are my eyes and ears in the ground and who have visited and cared for the people in their streets/area over this year. Many have particularly helped with transport to hospital and other appointments as well as getting food or medicine supplies. Thank you all.

With regard to funerals and bereavement care: whilst maintaining Covid restrictions I have been able to support many families during this truly difficult time with regard to death and bereavement. At the start of 2021 we were still only allowed to conduct graveside funerals of which I conducted 5. When we were allowed back into church with Covid restrictions I conducted another 4 funerals and 4 memorial services. I also interred the ashes of 8 people.

This year two cherished members of our congregation passed away. David Jones died after a difficult time in hospital. He was our Deanery Synod Representative for many years, on the PCC and amongst many other church duties, also loved dressing up and acting out Bible stories for the children at St Mary’s school, where he had been a governor for many years.

Pat Clough also died in 2021 after a long battle with cancer of which she always made light, never wishing for attention on herself. Quite honestly it is impossible to name all the roles Pat took on over her long and faithful service, but to name just two of great importance - with her amazing organisational skills - the parish magazine flourished and with her leadership of the WI, the village lunch was born and continued to nourish the community for many years.

Page 20 of 25

We miss them both greatly.

Reflecting on the CDP aims regarding responding to human need in loving pastoral care:

8: We have not restarted the healing services in 2021 due to the vacillating Covid conditions. Depending on how the pandemic works out, these healing services may or may not occur in 2022.

Growing Community: an appraisal of CDP 1, 2, 4, 5

Growing community is not only about growing the church community but also specifically about how the church is part of, and interacts with, its’ local community. So, it is about responding to local need by giving loving and prayerful service where required, as well as helping to transform unjust structures of society, challenging violence of every kind, whilst pursuing peace and reconciliation through our prayers, intentions and actions.

Regarding growing the church community:

Growing the church community involves having the right people and management structures in place that positively enable more people to come to Church, in order that they can be transformed by the loving power of the Trinitarian God and to learn how to be a Christian by walking together with other Christians. In order to continue giving glory to God, which is the primary function of both the church buildings, it also means we need adequate funds to keep the churches open with all health and safety measures, together with satisfactory care of the church fabric, in place to keep everything running smoothly and effectively.

Right people: Eunice King stepped down as Church Warden in April 2021 and sadly no-one felt able to fulfil this role, thus we have been without any Church Wardens for the rest of 2021. Later in the year someone did come forward to enquire regarding the role, and discussions are on-going discerning what this post now entails as it has changed greatly.

Also we have not had a parish administrator for the last year (indeed since 2019). All this has meant that I have had to take on this responsibility and the practical and administration duties as well as cover church warden duties, which I have done to the best of my ability. I am truly grateful to Eunice King in that she has left everything in very good order, and has continued to work at both the church log books and terriers since retiring in order to have up-to-date hard copies as well as put them up on Office 365. I am also hugely grateful to Pat Telfer who has walked alongside me with sound advice and practical, prayerful help since I came to Frensham and continues to do so to this day! Thank you, Pat. I am grateful to Mrs Val Chadney, our PCC secretary, for all she does regard the PCC meetings and much more. Regarding Deanery and Diocesan Synod: Esther Van Rooyen remains as our only Deanery representative, so we still have two vacancies for Deanery and one for Diocesan Synods. Thank you, Esther.

On a practical level, we still need more readers, intercessors, sidesmen, flower persons and gardeners.

Adequate funds: Over the last year overall there has been less expenditure as the churches were closed for some time, but finances were still very tight as attendance in the congregation has been slow to pick up. Thank you to all who walked the ‘Beating the Bounds’ sponsored walk with me again this year in September and for all who sponsored us. It all very much added to the success that we achieved and, together with the financial gifts of hugely generous people, we were able to pay our Parish share again this year. Huge thanks to Jill Wright, now ‘Jill Billings’ our treasurer as we (very much) celebrated her wedding to Malc Billings (deputy chair of Frensham Parish Council) in October this year. Her careful budgeting, advice and monitoring have been essential to keep us on track.

I appreciate greatly the huge effort that Barbara Potter and her daughter Ruth made to make and sell Christmas wreaths which raised a superb amount for church funds, as well as the Christmas Stall she had at Coffee Stop, Dockenfield. Barbara also usually manages the hall lettings which also bring in income for the general church funds, but these have also been limited this year due to the late opening of the Church of the Good Shepherd and people doing their lessons on-line.

Church fabric: Eunice very kindly completed the health and safety checks with Tim Merricks, Brian King and Chris Mitchley in March 2021. This will need assessing again in March 2022. We are truly so grateful particularly to Chris and Brian who have simply ‘pottered on’ doing many repairs and general maintenance in both churches which have kept us both healthy and safe. Please see fabric report for details.

Page 21 of 25

We are also very grateful for the Friends of Frensham Churches who have pledged money for new chairs in the Church of the Good Shepherd as well as the bell restoration fund. Thank you to Roger Holmes and the trustees.

Regarding interacting with the local community:

The first great community success in 2021 was the rebirth of the Village lunch, which we did in partnership with the Royal British Legion and the community. This had stopped pre-pandemic but there was a growing need for safe sociability within the village again as we journeyed through 2021. So, we started meeting to plan for this in July and our first Village lunch was on 27[th] October with our signature Shepherd’s pie as main meal, and our second was our Christmas meal on 24[th] November. Barbara Potter and I coordinate the buying of the food and the cooking of the meals as Barbara has a level 2 food hygiene and handling certificate, and we are used to cooking for large quantities of people. We have been congratulated on the high standard and generosity of our cooking. Huge thanks must go to Pam Watmore particularly, who has pioneered this community project, and to all the volunteers who help with cooking, preparing the RBL, handling the money, serving, washing up and clearing up. We are very much looking forward to growing this service in 2022.

The second great success in 2021 has been ‘Coffee Stop, Dockenfield’ which was pioneered by Barbara Potter. Every Friday morning from 10am – 12pm, after the Church of the Good Shepherd was thoroughly cleaned in June 2021, Barbara and her team of volunteers have been selling refreshments and cakes, not only to increase the use of the Good Shepherd but also to enhance the local community’s sociability and involvement with the church. It has also increased locals’ knowledge of the church building itself, which is so beautiful, and what we ‘do’ as church. It has also brought in well needed funds into the church which hopefully should enable it to stay open. I give grateful thanks for Barbara’s pioneering of and commitment to this and to all those who help make it happen.

Our strong links with the Vine Centre in Aldershot have continued by the super efforts of Karen Nockels our Vine Centre ambassador throughout this Covid ordeal. I am truly grateful for her commitment to conveying all the provisions given by church and village. It is a joy to do special projects which specifically help The Vine with their specific needs and the relationship between us has grown stronger over the many years we have been linked. We were again able to provide more than usual Christmas Bags which were gratefully accepted by all who received them. Thank you to everyone who provided the bags filled with goodies as well as essentials.

Karen also usually connects us with the Ahmadiyya Muslims at Tilford as well, but this has been more limited due to the pandemic.

This year we were still able to help parishioners who are in poverty through the generosity of the Frensham Parochial Trust. I am grateful to Nick Harris as secretary of this Trust, who enables the distribution of funds. I also give grateful thanks to Morag James and the Parish friends who helped distribute the funds in the form of Christmas vouchers which can be used in the village shop.

Regarding communications with the community: Our newly revamped Parish Magazine has gone down very well with those who receive it. All are liking the different covers each month which tie in with both the ecclesiastical and natural season and encourage people to send in new photos. I am truly grateful for all the hard work that Philippa Hall and Penny Garrard give as editors for the Parish Magazine, also Mayonne Coldicott our administrator and organiser of distribution, Liz Pollard our Advertisement organiser, and all who deliver magazines.

Page 22 of 25

Jon savage and Hilary Lee-Corbin have also been communicating with our church volunteers by way of ‘Church Life’ for which I am very thankful.

Whilst DNL is not affiliated in any way to the church as it is civically funded by Dockenfield council, I am very grateful to Michael Foster for entering in the information both myself and Eunice King have submitted to him for publication this year.

Reflecting on the CDP aims regarding 1, 2, 4, 5

1: Communication has much improved between the church and local councils, especially Dockenfield Parish Council due to the ongoing concerns about keeping the church open. In the future we will continue to be proactive in this area as the bilateral sharing of information has reduced barriers, prejudices and judgements for all involved. It would be good to be more connected with Frensham Parish Council as well.

2: Due to restrictions we haven’t been able to organise a whole church vision day, which would greatly help us to enlarge our consciousness of working within the community more, which also could increase the community of the church more. We have however, been able to join together as a PCC due to the skills of Jon Savage on Microsoft Teams and this has been both spiritually and practically helpful.

4: We are still very much in need of people to fill the many vacancies.

Growing Diversity: an appraisal of CDP 2,6

Growing diversity can be understood in many ways: firstly, it could be about enabling people of different abilities, ages, ethnicity, sexuality or gender to come and be part of being church. Secondly, it could link with the 5[th] mark of mission of the Anglican church: to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth – so could apply ecologically to us as church. Thirdly, it could apply to growing our links and assistance for those charities that are and work beyond our borders, but that we can help nonetheless. In order to grow diversity, we do need to bring this big topic into our church vision overall.

Enabling people of different abilities, ages, ethnicity, sexuality or gender to come and be part of being church : Apart from our totally inclusive strap line of ‘welcoming people of all faith and none’, which we do, we actually don’t have many people come to the church of different abilities, ages, ethnicity, sexuality or gender at present.

As the family services have not started back up yet, we don’t have many young children in church coming with their parents. Although we have good access for those perhaps less mobile, we hardly have any people attend services or activities in wheelchairs or using mobility aids, but we have everything in place to make access and egress easier. At present we only have one lady of different ethnicity and none of different sexuality and gender attending church. This may be due to a number of factors due to the area in which we live, perceptions about the church (possibly too traditional?) and its Christian culture, etc. I am hoping to start discussions about this in 2022 with the ‘Living in Love and Faith Course’ which I will do as a Lent Course. It would be healthy to include this in our PCC vision day when that occurs.

To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth:

This year, after discussions with the church gardeners, we let virtually the whole of the rear of St Mary’s graveyard go to meadow for the sake of the environment and to increase diversity of species as well as bees and butterflies. It was a resounding success ecologically although I did get a few complaints from people who had come from afar to see their loved one’s graves. After compassionate but explanatory correspondence this was all resolved. The only concern is how much work it took to bring it all back into control for the winter. The gardeners worked so very hard as we came to winter. Thank you all so very much.

We also let the church yard at Dockenfield go to meadow in a designated pattern (guided by Dan Bosence) for a second year and this also reaped results with many more orchids and other species flowering this year. Thanks to Rob Cregeen and his team, especially for bringing all the hedges under control in September.

Page 23 of 25

Links and assistance for those charities that are and work beyond our borders:

Despite the limitations of the pandemic, we were still able to support those beyond our borders with the help of St Mary’s Frensham Trust. I am thankful to David Millais, the Chair of this trust as well as all the Trustees for their continued commitment and management of this Trust which gives grants every year to charities which are local, national and international. I am also grateful to those on the church electoral roll who nominated the charities and gave us information concerning them. It is a joy that we have the confidence to be able to do this year after year, despite economic or pandemic difficulties.

Our links with Christian Aid have been continued by Susanna Millais who is our Christian Aid ambassador and became Farnham regional coordinator this year. My wholehearted thanks to Susanna who keeps us informed of the yearly vision and focus, together with the support we can give and actions required.

Reflecting on the CDP aims regarding 2, 6

6: Once we have a parish administrator in place we could start to invite different individuals and groups to the church to improve learning of diversity.

Conclusion

In conclusion I believe the Benefice of Frensham and its churches together with the whole community have done remarkably well in 2021 when actually the stresses and strains through the changing rules and restrictions for Covid and coming out of Covid have been particularly challenging.

Our church human resources were much reduced in number and every action had to be risk assessed and carefully planned and enacted to keep within Covid-19 guidelines to protect the population and prevent the spread of this devastating virus. But even with all this we have actually achieved far more than I thought was possible between church and community and with regard to the CDP aims. We have also paid our Parish Share to the Diocese.

We have continued to ‘ create an environment where God’s love can get through’ , we have continued to pray to God and praise God throughout in many and diverse ways, and we have ‘walked together’ with the local communities developing and adapting our ways whilst walking in God’s love, supported by the integrity of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

I reiterate my thanks and appreciation on behalf of the entire PCC for the amazing team effort to all those who have participated in:

Page 24 of 25

Thank you all so very much.

We do have still more challenges going forward which include the need to fill vacancies and particularly fill the posts for two church wardens and Parish Administrator come the next APCM. I am confident we will meet each of these challenges in the faith, hope and love that God gives us. Thank You and God bless you all.

We were also in receipt of a one-off grant of £10,096, from Waverley BC for COVID-19 support. This has been put into a designated fund to be used on community projects. Easy Fundraising continued to provide a healthy income stream in 2021, and achieved £469.

Although our usual fundraising event of the Frensham Fayre was cancelled, the Harvest Festival and Beating the Bounds went ahead along with wreath making.

The Coffee Stop at The Good Shepherd has been an unmitigated success raising £1,375 In its first part year, with thanks to the hard work of Barbara Potter and all of the volunteers. Church lettings were up on 2020 at £1,483 – up 50% .

Parish Magazine income rallied in 2021, increasing by £1,953 year on year – an increase of 33%.

Our total income from Activities for Generating Funds was £15,290 .

Once again, the generosity of our parishioners is simply amazing and humbling.

Receipts on restricted funds were £9,273 of which £6,874 related to the Bells Refurbishment Fund and £953 to the Organ Fund, £200 to the sound system fund and £1,100 to the Good Shepherd Chairs fund – from the sale of pews.

£59,893.36 (2020 - £54,926) was expended from unrestricted funds to provide Christian ministry from St. Mary’s and the Good Shepherd. Included in this figure is the diocesan parish share of £55,555.08 (2019 - £51,789); the parish share was frozen at the 2020 rate

(we received a discount in 2020 which was not replicated in 2021). In addition, Other Ministry Costs increased by 38% from 2020, Reverend Jane Walker started claiming expenses again in 2021, and a well attended Alpha course ran in the autumn. There were still savings due to no parish administrator being engaged.

The underlying running costs of the church were £13,630, 25% up from 2020.

£11,430 was expended from restricted funds. The main components of the amount shown under restricted funds resources expended are as follows:

Bells Refurbishment – deposit £ 7,995 Depreciation – Fixed Assets £ 2,974

Net movement in unrestricted funds is a surplus of £1,385 net movement in designated funds was £10,096 and the net movement in restricted funds resulted is a deficit of £2,157. After taking into account balances brought forward, the balances carried forward on all funds are in surplus. However, it should be noted that future depreciation costs will be deducted from the relevant funds going forward.

Reserves

Reserves held reflect three different objectives:

Details of the reserves held are set in note 6 to the Financial Statements. There are no funds in deficit.

Volunteers

I personally would like to thank everyone who has helped me in performing the treasurer duties. This includes Mark Vardy and his banking team (Patrick Farmer, Tim Finlow and Hugh Evans) who take care of the weekly banking duties, Peter James for his ongoing work and support as Gift Aid Secretary, Mayonne Coldicott and Liz Pollard for maintaining the Parish magazine accounts, Morag James for invoicing for weddings, Karen Nockels for picking up the hall invoicing, and Barbara Potter for the Coffee Stop and all of her other fund raising efforts, including the selling of the pews from the Good Shepherd!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Nicholas O’Brien who has once again taken on the role of our Independent Examiner for a second year, and the rest of our

4

“circle of Guildford Diocese treasurers” to perform this essential service for one another, in an independent manner at zero cost to each of our Parochial Church Councils.

Statement of Trustee Responsibilities

Approved by the Parochial Church Council on March 2021 and signed on its behalf by:

The notes on pages 8 to 11 form part of these financial statements.

Notes

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General information The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Frensham is a registered charity, number 1173223 and having its office address at The Vicarage, The Street, Frensham, Surrey GU10 3DT.

The principal activities of the Parochial Church Council are described in the Vicrar's report.

Basis of preparation

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions, and they have been prepared under FRS102(2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102).

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 do they include groups that are informal gatherings of church members.

The PCC have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Parochial Church Council has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason the PCC continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

ASSETS

Consecrated and benefice property

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of 'charity' by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.

Moveable church furnishings

These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost informaiton is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church's inventory in any case.

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts-in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows: - St. Mary's Shed 2 years - Vicars Laptop 5 years - Internal & External LED Lighting 10 years - St. Mary's Hall AV Equipment 10 years - St. Mary's Hall Moveable Fixtures & Fittings 15 years - St. Mary's Hearing Loop/Sound System 15 years - St. Mary's Play Area Fencing 15 years - St. Mary's Hall Fixed Fixtures & Fittings 20 years Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose values derive from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at the PCC's best estimate of market value.

Short term deposits

These are the cash held on deposit either with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund or at the bank.

FUNDS

Unrestricted Funds These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC. Designated Funds

These are income funds that have been set aside by decision of the PCC, for particular purposes, and details of the funds held and the intended uses are shown in the notes to the accounts.,

Restricted Funds

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts

Income

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resource, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are readily quantifiable. Income from operating activities to further the PCCs objectives and to generate funds:

Funds raised by activities and events and the sale of books and magazines are accounted for gross. Income from activities and events, parochial fees due for weddings, funerals and other occasional services are accounted for when received; any fees outstanding at the end of the year are accrued.

Grants & Donations

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC.

Voluntary help

No financial benefit has been reflected in the accounts in respect of the time and effort freely given by many members of our church involved in the running and administration of church activites.

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try and maintain a £20,000 balance on its designated Capital Fund. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and meet emergenicies or exceptional expenditures as they arise. If used, it is the PCC's policy to repay the amount within two years.

The Charities Act 2011 states in Section 10(2) that benefice property (sub-section (a) and consecrated property (sub-section (c)) are removed from the definition of charity for the purpose of the Act. Therefore, the value of our church buildings is excluded from theses accounts.

Church equipment comprises kitchen fixtures and fittings, audio visual equipment and stacking chairs all located in the St. Mary's hall, St. Mary's sound system, Church notice boards, St. Mary's internal & external lighting, children's play area fencing for St. Mary's chuchyard, Vicar's laptop (2019 addition) and the equipment shed located in St. Mary's churchyard.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

This report together with the attached schedules comprises the financial statements for Frensham Parochial Church Council (PCC) for 2021. The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102). The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and within the Regulations’ “true and fair view” provisions, and they have been prepared under FRS102(2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)).

The charts shown below show an analysis of our Unrestricted Funds Income and Expenditure in 2021.

----- End of picture text -----

Overall income recorded under Unrestricted Funds was 6% above the budgeted figure for 2021, and 9% below 2020 results.

2

Our profile of giving and voluntary receipts continued to change due to ongoing COVID19 restrictions, planned giving down by £3,282, a 9% decrease year on year, but offset in part by credit card donations of £4,229, Loose Plate donations of £2,292 (an increase of over 100%) and one off gift aid gifts and other donations of £7,504.

We were also in receipt of a one-off grant of £10,096, from Waverley BC for COVID-19 support. This has been put into a designated fund to be used on community projects. Easy Fundraising continued to provide a healthy income stream in 2021, and achieved £469.

Although our usual fundraising event of the Frensham Fayre was cancelled, the Harvest Festival and Beating the Bounds went ahead along with wreath making.

The Coffee Stop at The Good Shepherd has been an unmitigated success raising £1,375 In its first part year, with thanks to the hard work of Barbara Potter and all of the volunteers. Church lettings were up on 2020 at £1,483 – up 50% .

Parish Magazine income rallied in 2021, increasing by £1,953 year on year – an increase of 33%.

Our total income from Activities for Generating Funds was £15,290 .

Once again, the generosity of our parishioners is simply amazing and humbling.

Receipts on restricted funds were £9,273 of which £6,874 related to the Bells Refurbishment Fund and £953 to the Organ Fund, £200 to the sound system fund and £1,100 to the Good Shepherd Chairs fund – from the sale of pews.

£59,893.36 (2020 - £54,926) was expended from unrestricted funds to provide Christian ministry from St. Mary’s and the Good Shepherd. Included in this figure is the diocesan parish share of £55,555.08 (2019 - £51,789); the parish share was frozen at the 2020 rate

3

(we received a discount in 2020 which was not replicated in 2021). In addition, Other Ministry Costs increased by 38% from 2020, Reverend Jane Walker started claiming expenses again in 2021, and a well attended Alpha course ran in the autumn. There were still savings due to no parish administrator being engaged.

The underlying running costs of the church were £13,630, 25% up from 2020.

£11,430 was expended from restricted funds. The main components of the amount shown under restricted funds resources expended are as follows:

Bells Refurbishment – deposit £ 7,995 Depreciation – Fixed Assets £ 2,974

Net movement in unrestricted funds is a surplus of £1,385 net movement in designated funds was £10,096 and the net movement in restricted funds resulted is a deficit of £2,157. After taking into account balances brought forward, the balances carried forward on all funds are in surplus. However, it should be noted that future depreciation costs will be deducted from the relevant funds going forward.

Reserves

Reserves held reflect three different objectives:

Details of the reserves held are set in note 6 to the Financial Statements. There are no funds in deficit.

Volunteers

I personally would like to thank everyone who has helped me in performing the treasurer duties. This includes Mark Vardy and his banking team (Patrick Farmer, Tim Finlow and Hugh Evans) who take care of the weekly banking duties, Peter James for his ongoing work and support as Gift Aid Secretary, Mayonne Coldicott and Liz Pollard for maintaining the Parish magazine accounts, Morag James for invoicing for weddings, Karen Nockels for picking up the hall invoicing, and Barbara Potter for the Coffee Stop and all of her other fund raising efforts, including the selling of the pews from the Good Shepherd!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Nicholas O’Brien who has once again taken on the role of our Independent Examiner for a second year, and the rest of our

4

“circle of Guildford Diocese treasurers” to perform this essential service for one another, in an independent manner at zero cost to each of our Parochial Church Councils.

Statement of Trustee Responsibilities

The members of the PCC, who are trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law, regulations and accounting standards.

Notes

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General information The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Frensham is a registered charity, number 1173223 and having its office address at The Vicarage, The Street, Frensham, Surrey GU10 3DT.

The principal activities of the Parochial Church Council are described in the Vicrar's report.

Basis of preparation

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions, and they have been prepared under FRS102(2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102).

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 do they include groups that are informal gatherings of church members.

The PCC have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Parochial Church Council has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason the PCC continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

ASSETS

Consecrated and benefice property

In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of 'charity' by Section 10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.

Moveable church furnishings

These are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their useful economic life other than where insufficient cost informaiton is available. In this case the item is not capitalised, but all items are included in the Church's inventory in any case.

Tangible fixed assets for use by charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or else, for gifts-in-kind, at a reasonable estimate of their open market value on receipt.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the capitalised cost of fixed assets less their currently anticipated residual fair value over their estimated useful lives as follows: - St. Mary's Shed 2 years - Vicars Laptop 5 years - Internal & External LED Lighting 10 years - St. Mary's Hall AV Equipment 10 years - St. Mary's Hall Moveable Fixtures & Fittings 15 years - St. Mary's Hearing Loop/Sound System 15 years - St. Mary's Play Area Fencing 15 years - St. Mary's Hall Fixed Fixtures & Fittings 20 years Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose values derive from them are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at the PCC's best estimate of market value.

Short term deposits

These are the cash held on deposit either with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund or at the bank.

FUNDS

Unrestricted Funds These represent the remaining income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC. Designated Funds

These are income funds that have been set aside by decision of the PCC, for particular purposes, and details of the funds held and the intended uses are shown in the notes to the accounts.,

Restricted Funds

These are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts

Income

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resource, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are readily quantifiable. Income from operating activities to further the PCCs objectives and to generate funds:

Funds raised by activities and events and the sale of books and magazines are accounted for gross. Income from activities and events, parochial fees due for weddings, funerals and other occasional services are accounted for when received; any fees outstanding at the end of the year are accrued.

Grants & Donations

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC.

Voluntary help

No financial benefit has been reflected in the accounts in respect of the time and effort freely given by many members of our church involved in the running and administration of church activites.

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try and maintain a £20,000 balance on its designated Capital Fund. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and meet emergenicies or exceptional expenditures as they arise. If used, it is the PCC's policy to repay the amount within two years.

The Charities Act 2011 states in Section 10(2) that benefice property (sub-section (a) and consecrated property (sub-section (c)) are removed from the definition of charity for the purpose of the Act. Therefore, the value of our church buildings is excluded from theses accounts.

Church equipment comprises kitchen fixtures and fittings, audio visual equipment and stacking chairs all located in the St. Mary's hall, St. Mary's sound system, Church notice boards, St. Mary's internal & external lighting, children's play area fencing for St. Mary's chuchyard, Vicar's laptop (2019 addition) and the equipment shed located in St. Mary's churchyard.
