Trustees Annual Report for 2021

1. The primary objective of St Mary de Haura’s PCC is “the promotion in the parish the whole mission of the church” that is, the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Canon Ann Waizeneker, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, besides the usual maintenance responsibilities that an ancient Grade I listed church building presents.

2. The PCC is required by the regulations to have a Standing Committee which has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings and when it is not practicable to convene a full meeting. No Standing Committee meetings took place during 2021. The full PCC met on seven occasions during the year, six times as part of its schedule of quarterly meetings and once to plan for the future as part of the Diocese of Chichester’s Vision for Growth 2020 – 2025.

3. The PCC is also responsible for the Friends of St Mary’s Church, New Shoreham[2] and the New Shoreham Church Trust which manages the church-owned premises in New Road and East Street. The Incumbent and Churchwardens are the sole trustees of both charities.

4. The PCC has one Committee (‘Mission 2020’) which was established in 2018 and is now focussed on plans for the redevelopment of the two-storey property close to the church. The freehold of this property is held in trust for the church by a separate charity[3] of which the Incumbent and the two churchwardens are the sole trustees. A summary of the work of this Committee is provided in paragraphs 33 - 36.

Objectives and Activities

1. The principal objective in 2021 has once again been to support our congregation and wider community through a second year of learning to live with the Pandemic. While continuing to ensure sufficient funds are available to maintain the church and meet expenditure with restricted income streams.

2. We have been able to gradually bring back church services, groups and activities as the Covid restrictions were lifted, but all the time balancing this with care for those most vulnerable, both physically and mentally. We have achieved this by continuing with online worship side by side with a gradual return to church services. The PCC has taken all decisions on this journey, including numbers allowed at services, wearing of masks, when to reintroduce singing by choir and then the congregation. Our main aim has been to instil confidence in those returning whilst making provision for those still not ready to come to church physically.

3. We have continued to offer support to those who live on their own / are most vulnerable. Towards the end of the year we have been pleased that we have been able to resume limited hospital visiting and visiting local care homes.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

II. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2021

Highlights

1. The year was again heavily influenced by the pandemic. Many activities which we have come to see as part of the fabric of church life simply could not take place again. But although the range and scope of our physical activities were constrained, in many important respects the life of the church in pursuit of its charitable purposes continued to thrive. Sustaining this was our continued practice of prayerful reflection. A theme of this was learning to live with difficulty and difference, and how adversity can sometimes better nurture virtue than prosperity.

2. Our well-established arrangements for worship online, which probably no one would have thought would have worked as well, maintained our weekly services. We were though delighted gradually to resume worship in the church. The graduated relaxation of restrictions was the subject of continuous and careful consideration of the Ministry Team, the Churchwardens and the PCC. In retrospect, it appears that the measures we took to balance the risks with the natural desire to return to more conventional practices, worked well. Critically, the arrangements which were made had the intended effect of instilling confidence, particularly in those for whom a return to social contact may have presented greater risks. The relaxations also enabled pastoral care, including visits to hospitals and care homes, to resume a more natural form. Throughout the restrictions we were acutely aware of how those who live alone, particularly the more vulnerable, had been adversely affected by the pandemic.

3. An uplifting event occurred in September when our curate, Revd Steve Emerson, was ordained priest by Ruth, Bishop of Horsham, at Henfield Church alongside one of his colleagues, Revd Heather Wilkin. On the evening of the next day Steve celebrated his first Eucharist at St Mary’s, which was followed by drinks in the churchyard. While these events were still subject to Covid restrictions, they did not prevent both from being joyous milestones in the church’s year.

4. It was also in the autumn that Canon Ann announced plans to retire in January 2022 after almost 10 years as vicar. She explained that the time was right and that she planned to move to Worcester to be near close family and where she hopes to continue in ministry as a retired priest. Naturally, the announcement of an incumbent’s intention to leave is a momentous one but given the depth and range of Ann’s achievement as our vicar and the genuine warmth of fellow feeling for her which her skills as a pastor has engendered, the impact was profound.

5. However, it was recognised that as a parish we are well placed to manage the Vacancy. The fact that we have a full-time (and much loved) curate in Revd Steve, Revd Jane at the Church of the Good Shepherd (COGS, the other church in the benefice), Jonathan Smith our Lay Reader and retired clergy who contribute much, enabled us to plan for the Vacancy with greater confidence than we otherwise might. The Ven. Martin, Archdeacon of Brighton & Lewes, highlighted these points when he met both PCCs in early November to discuss arrangements for the vacancy.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

Services and other church activities

1. The impact of the pandemic both this and last year is clearly seen in the numbers attending church services as set out in the table below. The numbers for previous years have been included to allow comparison to be made. What it does reflect encouragingly is that 2021 did mark the beginnings of the recovery. And we must remember that numbers alone only tell part of the story: behind them lie a strength of commitment which provides the confidence on which we look forward to 2022 and the challenges as well as the opportunities which the Vacancy will present.

Attendance at services	2018	2019	2020	2021
Baptisms	36	30	7	12
Confirmations	8	4	0	0
Admission to Communion before Confirmation	3	2	0	0
Easter Communicants	263	237	0	89
Christmas Communicants	179	227	0	144
Church attendance on an average Sunday	194	189	c.75	c.90
Weddings and Marriage Blessings	7	7	5	5

1. During Easter 2021 we were able to observe Holy Week through a combination of online and in-church services. Numbers attending church were restricted but 89 people attended the Easter Vigil and Easter Day service. It was truly uplifting to celebrate this most important Festival, particularly as no church services had been permitted at Easter in 2020.

2. We were also able to host the Town Remembrance service. Although this had to be with restricted numbers, it was good to restore this important civic tradition both in the church and at the War Memorial where many more people were able to gather to observe the two minutes silence. Restrictions imposed to manage the risks of the pandemic continued to the end of the year, so at Christmas alongside the usual Town Carol Service we introduced two shorter carol services on 23rd December. These were much appreciated and it was agreed that an afternoon service should be continued in years to come – it is more suitable for those who don’t like being out in the dark and a good one for children.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

By the end of the year we were able to increase numbers attending church in person and end the requirement for people to book to attend services. It is important to note here quite how constraining that requirement was. Although for those regularly attending services it may not have been much of an imposition, our tradition as a church is to be able to welcome people which a requirement to book in

advance can easily impede. However, by the end of the year it was encouraging to see people returning to

church if not yet in the numbers in which they had attended before the pandemic. The numbers attending our Teatime Worship, the Sunday afternoon service for children and young families, gradually began building up, helped by the Pop-up Nativity at the December Teatime service. We expect, as other churches have experienced, it may take longer for numbers to return to our Shine Sunday School and All Age Worship.

1. In addition to church services and the range of pastoral work which underpins much of the reach of the church into the community, activities included Bible study and discussion groups. Perhaps because worship in church was more restricted, the number of people attending these groups throughout the year (not just in Lent and some of which were lay-led) was encouraging. We hope that even with a return to more regular church services, the interest in these groups will be sustained next year. For a second year we did not offer confirmation classes or preparation for admission to communion because meeting in person wasn’t possible which for activities of these sorts is important.

The restricted social activities which the Covid restrictions necessarily imposed severely constrained opportunities to raise money which have been important in the past. The generosity of church members has notably helped ease what would otherwise have caused greater pressure on our finances. However, a number of important fund-raising events were able to take place. First, Mark Potter again secured from his employer, Legal & General, match-funding up to £5,000, for the 30-mile sponsored walk he undertook one Saturday from St Mary’s to Chichester Cathedral, and over £13,000 was raised. Revd Steve and friends also held the ‘Duck Race’ on the river Adur which raised over £500; and Keith and Val maintained a wonderful tradition for fundraising hospitality with their firework and prosecco evening which raised over £600.

1. Wordfest, Shoreham’s annual literary festival, was able to hold several of its events in the church, helping to cement our place at the heart of the community. Sadly, two key events in the church calendar couldn’t take place for a second year because of the pandemic: the Art Exhibition and Turning Tides Christmas Tree Festival. In addition, a new event - Christmas Readings – had to be cancelled as we approached Christmas as a precaution to manage the pandemic.

2. The ‘Ride and Stride’ sponsored event at which participants visited churches in the area on foot or on a bike, took place on Saturday 11th September. It raised a total of £706, half of which comes to St Mary’s and half to Sussex Historic Churches Trust who provide grants for repairs and maintenance to churches in Sussex.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

Children & Families

1. Our commitment to nurture new members of the church and to support family life has continued despite the pandemic. It has been spearheaded by the indefatigable efforts of Sarah Sayers, our Children & Families Coordinator. While the pandemic has, inevitably, restricted both the range and nature of the activities undertaken to reach out to young children and young families, much has been achieved.

2. During the lockdown, when it was not possible to meet, weekly updates and newsletters were sent to the children and families with whom we already have contact. As the restrictions on social and other activities were eased, events were planned and took place. These included the Scripture Union’s ‘Adventure through the Churchyard’ over Easter; ‘Shine’ (Sunday School on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month) resumed; Mary’s Music (a drop-in for preschool aged children and mums/carers) restarted in June; the Teddy Bears’ Picnic in August; Mini Disciples in September; and in place of the ‘Summer Club’ during the school summer holidays, a range of different activities spread over several weeks took place which were well attended. Numbers initially attending events were slow to pick up but gradually returned to levels which existed before the pandemic – and a significant increase occurred when the requirement to book places was ended as this had inhibited several from attending.

3. It has been particularly pleasing to see the full range of all these activities return, and attract such interest. For example, the Teatime Worship in Sunday afternoons once a month saw 40 attending in November; and the Monday drop-in session now regular attracts 17 families.

4. Although we were concerned that the effect of the restrictions to manage the pandemic might diminish the interest in our Children and Families work, it has been heartening to see a level of interest and engagement return. We thank Sarah Sayers particularly for her resilience and fortitude throughout, to whom much of the continued success of this important part of our ministry is due.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

Safeguarding

1. In January 2021 we were pleased to welcome Ash Sayers, a serving police officer, as our new Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO); and we are equally pleased to report that no safeguarding matters of concern were raised in the course of the year.

2. The PSO has continued the tradition of working closely with the incumbent. Canon Ann was particularly grateful for the contribution the PSO made with advice on the implementation of the Covid regulations where the PCC had discretion to tailor them to local needs.

3. More formally, the parish continues to be registered with Thirtyone:Eight, the independent Christian safeguarding charity. The PSO reported that we are up to date with DBS certification, in spite of some administrative delays which the pandemic had caused. This includes, obtaining the checks for the ad hoc volunteers who assist at ‘Shine’. We are also up to date with all mandatory safeguarding training, including for the two new Churchwardens.

Church buildings

1. The maintenance of the fabric of the church has continued to require the constant attention which a building, parts of which dates back nine hundred years, inevitably requires. While the principal issues identified in the last quinquennial review (2017) were addressed, a number of other repairs and refurbishment projects remain to be done. These include major work on the tower, repairs and redecoration to the interior masonry and the re-leading of south aisle windows and repairs to choir east window.

7

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

A second application was made to Historic England under the second round of its Grants for Programmes of Major Works for repairs to the stonework around the south and west walls. However this was unsuccessful. Repairs were undertaken to the stonework around the south transept window and new guttering was fitted to the blower room roof, together with repairs to the existing guttering on the north side of the church.

We continue to be grateful for the generous support provided by The Friends of St Mary’s. This has enabled the repairs to the guttering and to the floor by the font and in St George’s chapel to be undertaken. Minor works have included the replacement of the church alarm with a motion sensor; repairs to the flagpole; PAT testing of electrical equipment; and the incremental replacement of the floodlighting bulbs with more reliable and greener LEDs.

1. The PCC is also grateful for the diligence with which Sue Clay, both as Churchwarden and Parish Administrator, has ensured that necessary works are brought to its attention and the repairs commissioned and carried out. It also notes the valuable support Chris Davis has provided keeping a keen eye out for potential problems so that these can be nipped in the bud.

Mission 2020

1. In spite of the pandemic, steady progress has been made in working up proposals for redevelopment of the New Road/East Street property, the freehold of which the church owns through the New Shoreham Church Trust. As reported before, the property has long been in need of substantial refurbishment. Until then its uses are severely restricted and the rents we obtain from the retail businesses occupying parts of the ground floor are much reduced. The Mission 2020 committee leads for the PCC on working up plans for the building’s redevelopment following the failure, several years ago, to sell the building to a property developer. That Committee comprises the incumbent and John Tyson, Becky Allinson, Ian Tompkin, Sue Clay and Mark Potter, from the PCC, and is supplemented by local councillor Kevin Boram whose advice on preparing for the formal planning application was invaluable. Three important milestones in planning the redevelopment were passed this year.

2. In June the PCC spent a morning discussing the preliminary work the architect and other professional advises had undertaken. This careful consideration examined a range of options which established the robustness of the basis on which the project will proceed. We remain therefore confident that the project will be affordable and, once completed (in three years, we estimate) will provide a steady income stream for the church and better facilities. As a result of this meeting further work was commissioned from our advisors to enable us to engage the Local Authority in what is called the ‘preapplication’ (or ‘pre-app’) stage before we will submit a formal planning application which will involve public consultation.

3. The next milestone was passed at the PCC meeting in September when the outline proposals were incorporated into the Mission Action Plan. We drew up this plan as part of the diocese’s Vision for Growth 2020 – 2025 strategy. Although we face a Vacancy following Ann’s retirement, it was agreed that it was necessary to push ahead now that we have got this far rather than pause before taking things further until the new incumbent is in post, which may not be for over 12 months.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

1. Finally in December, Revd Ann informally met representatives of the local planning authority to gauge the Local Authority’s likely response to the project once developed. We are pleased to report that Ann met with a very warm reception. Plans to firm up arrangements for the ‘pre-app’ stage were then put in train.

The Church School – St Nicolas and St Mary’s

1. It has been another very busy year at St Nicolas and St Mary’s managing the continued difficulties presented by the pandemic which included high numbers of staff and pupil absence. The whole school community worked tirelessly to address gaps in pupils’ learning and provide an innovative, inspirational and inclusive curriculum.

2. However, as Covid restrictions were eased, it was wonderful to get back to whole-school worship and assemblies; and it was great that we were able to showcase Nativities by our Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes in December. Also just before Christmas we welcomed back the Brighton and Hove City Mission team and we again hosted an in-person Prayer Space for the children. Activities included thinking about what we are thankful and sorry for, shining a 'spot light' on parts of the world where there are problems such as war or poverty, asking 'Big Questions' and having the opportunity to breathe deeply, reflect and simply 'be still.'

3. Worshipping in smaller class bubbles has however helped the development the way we deliver ‘Class worship’ in classrooms. Using videos made by the Senior Leadership Team and discussions facilitated by teachers, children had more opportunity to talk and reflect on their faith more personally and deeply. One example of this is the new ‘Spiritual Journals’ which children have across Key Stage 2, where they can note down their ideas and prayers.

4. Other developments in the school have included the adoption of the Empowerment Approach. This is a research-based multi-disciplinary approach that incorporates neuroscience, psychology, coaching and education aimed at helping all children feel safe, happy and able to learn. It enables each child to build prosocial and pro-learning skills. Among other things, the approach teaches young people about their needs and how to manage well even when these needs aren’t being met; how to prepare to be at their best for learning and socialising; and how to solve problems when things go wrong so they feel good and those around them do too. One of the principles behind the approach is that people who feel better, do better. We have already noticed a very positive impact on pupils and their understanding of themselves and their behaviour.

5. Looking forward, we are excited at the prospect of becoming part of the newly formed Bishop Otter Multi Academy Trust (or BOAT). Plans for this have been developed by our Executive Headteacher, David Etherton, and our Trustees.

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

Report form the Director of Music, Stuart Hutchinson

1. Music continues to play a significant and motivating role in the worship and life of St Mary's. Our Services are enriched by choral and organ music – and we support the local community in being able to provide high quality music at weddings, funerals, memorial, and school services. In addition, we host many concerts and other events, attended by large numbers of the local community and beyond. Many of these events are produced under the auspices of Music at St Mary de Haura.

Activity in 2021

1. Understandably, much of our musical activity in 2021 was suspended due to the Coronavirus pandemic. While Services were delivered via Zoom, Tim Williams (Cantor) provided a welcome weekly contribution to online singing. Director of Music, Stuart Hutchinson had been furloughed in April 2020 and continued to be until July 2021. Choir activity was suspended during this time. There was a brief but welcome intermission in this for Holy Week, when a Quartet of singers were able to sing, ‘socially distanced’ in St George’s Chapel. Upon their return to Services in September the Choir have been remarkably adaptable, singing whilst wearing masks and visors. Having greatly missed the annual Christmas Eve Town Carol Service in 2020, it was a thrill to be able to deliver this again in December 2021. Due to the continued restrictions on congregation attendance, Director of Music and Choir volunteered to sing two additional Carol Services (slightly scaled down) in the form of Carols at St Mary’s.

St Mary’s Choir

2. The invaluable contribution of St Mary’s Choir is key to the music in our worship.

The Choir rehearses on Friday evenings (19.30-20.45) and sings at Sunday Eucharist, Choral Evensong (third Sunday) and important dates in the liturgical calendar – including Advent, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter.

• The Choir is an Affiliated Member of the Royal School of Church Music and is committed to the RSCM Voice for Life training and awards scheme.

The Choir is a voluntary organisation, and there is much musical reward in regularly singing the repertoire of cathedral-style music on just minimal rehearsal.

A wide repertoire of music from all centuries is used during the Church year.

We have a fine team of dedicated singers. Member numbers for Choral Evensong, weddings and funerals are augmented by the valued support of other local singers, and we regularly have 14-16 singers on such occasions. The annual Town Carol Service is particularly well supported by some 35 singers. During 2021, the Choir sang at 4 Weddings/Blessings and 4 Funerals/Memorials.

Choir Rehearsals are held in the Study Room (St Mary’s Hall) and the Choir benefits hugely from use of this facility, being a more practical and economic rehearsal space (especially in winter months!) than the large church. We are particularly grateful to Barbara Sealy and Louise Gill for giving many voluntary hours to the administration of music, to Pauline Cakebread for her maintenance of choir robes and to Tim Williams for his design, printing and editing skills.

Resources (St Mary’s Choir)

1. Fees received for singing at weddings and funerals are distributed between our own Choir and other local singers who support us. The majority of singers chose not to take their personal fee, making generous donations to the St Mary de Haura Church Choir fund. The Choir banks with HSBC. Total Choir funds held as at 31 December 2021: £2,812 (2020: £2,400).

From these personal funds the Choir spent £528 on music, resources and expenses in 2021 (compared with £456 in 2020).

10

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

Instruments

1. The church has a fine 3-manual Norman & Beard organ of 1894 (restored in 1994 by Pat Christian). Maintenance continues to be provided by Pat Christian, to whom we are grateful for his care and attention. The organ suffered a few mechanical and electrical faults in 2021, all due to humidity, resultant corrosion and shrinkage.

2. Rehearsals in the Study Room are supported by a portable Roland digital piano, purchased in 2014 with funds from Music at St Mary de Haura.

3. Currently, the church does not possess its own acoustic piano. The PCC benefits from the long-term loan of a Yamaha C3 grand piano. We are most grateful to Ann Wroe for this generosity, which greatly facilitates our music in worship and concert. Music at St Mary de Haura promotes at least one event a year raising funds for Gospel Oak Action Link (GOAL) - the charity founded in 1992 by Ann’s husband Malcolm Wroe. The church will need to buy its own piano at some point in the future. Music at St Mary de Haura currently holds reserved funds of £7,221 towards the future purchase of a piano (a new piano comparable to the one on loan would cost £29,000).

4. MASMDH also holds the David Bennet Memorial fund (£6,067), established in 1989 to encourage young organists with financial support for organ tuition.

III. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income and expenditure

1. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the year once again presented many financial challenges and we are very grateful to finish the year in a strong financial position. We received a bequest totalling £90,000 which, together with the £11,000 from the Synod Holy Trinity Trust referred to below, has strengthened our finances substantially. We continued to receive regular giving through the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) and standing orders and continue to receive donations through the contactless card terminal installed in 2020.

2. The total receipts received on the general unrestricted fund were £222,149 (2020: £128,530) and are detailed in the financial report. Total expenditure on the general unrestricted fund was £122,842 (£2020: £112,453). Grants have been received from:

3. Coronavirus Job retention Scheme (CJRS) £7,815 furlough payments.

4. Historic England £3,697 exterior stonework repairs – final payment.

5. Hove Deanery SHTT (Synod Holy Trinity Trust) Distribution £11,000. The Trust was set up by Hove Deanery in 2016 to administer a capital sum for the Deanery being part of the sale proceeds received by the Diocese for the sale of Holy Trinity Church, Hove. The balance of the fund was distributed between the parishes in the Deanery.

6. The Government’s CJRS scheme (for furloughing staff) enabled us to retain the staff we employed in 2021; and in the course of the year we are pleased they were able to return to work once restrictions to manage the pandemic were lifted.

11

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

1. Fundraising, albeit restricted for much of the year, continued to provide much needed income in 2021 and the final total for the year was an incredible £12,600 excluding gift aid recovered (2020: £10,458) . This income stream is so important because we do not have a church hall or other facility which we can rent. Our grateful thanks go once more to everyone who contributed to this. Particularly thanks are owed to Mark Potter for his sponsored walk from St Mary’s to Chichester Cathedral. With the money raised being match-funded by his employer, Legal and General a total of over £10,500 was received (rising to £13,000 after gift aid recovered). We also had a Duck Race (£300) and Prosecco and Sparkler’s evenings (£850) and a mini Christmas fair (£500).

Parish Share, staff costs and payments to Trustees

1. The largest expenditure of the PCC was the sum of £57,594 paid to the Diocese for our share of all churches’ Parish Ministry costs and church insurance incurred by the Diocese (2020: £40,352). This amount covers the housing, stipend and pension costs of the clergy, the church insurance and also a standard sum for diocesan central costs and clergy training. In 2020 and due to the pandemic, we were only able to pay 80% of our Parish Share. We are extremely pleased to report that in 2022 we were once again able to pay in full.

2. The PCC employed four staff part-time: a Director of Music; a Parish Administrator; a Children & Families Coordinator; and a Verger. Two of those positions that of the Parish Administrator and the Children & Families Coordinator, are members of the PCC – Sue Clay and Sarah Sayers respectively.

3. Other costs incurred and paid included Council Tax, water charges and expenses for travelling and telephone for the vicarage together with the clergy expenses amounting to £6,647.

Outward Giving

1. Most of the collections and events which produce funds for a range of charities were unable to take place this year and so our giving was once again greatly reduced:

	2021
Christian Aid	£600
British Legion	£281
The Children’s Society	£371
St Mary’s Pickering	£25
TurningTides	£345

Reserves and other funds

1. The PCC’s policy is to maintain a balance in the general unrestricted funds which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted payments as contingency fund and to allow time to identify and develop new sources of income or to cut back on related expenditure. Three months’ worth of essential expenditure, approximately £19,000, comprises salaries, utilities, photocopier rates and contingency. The unrestricted reserves are approximately equal to 10 (2020: 4) month’s essential expenditure based on the expenditure of the year ended 31[st] December 2021 which is considered sufficient and in line with the policy. Free reserves totalled £129,169 (2020: 29,862) at the balance sheet date.

12

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

1. St Mary de Haura is a Grade 1 listed building and the Friends of St Mary’s is a separate charity with the responsibility for raising finance with which to support the on-going restoration of St Mary’s. The Trustees are the Vicar and Churchwardens.

2. The PCC holds three designated (that is, restricted) funds which are invested within the Church of England Central Board of Finance Deposit Accounts:

1. Membership of the PCC is determined under the Church Representation Rules and consists of certain ex-officio members (the incumbent, curate, lay readers licensed to officiate in the church), the churchwardens and members of the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synods and 12 members of the church who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Members are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC and we try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.

2. The PCC has one Committee (‘Mission 2020’), established in 2018, to plan for the redevelopment of the two-storey property close to the church. The freehold of this property is held in trust for the church by a separate charity[4] of which the Incumbent and the two churchwardens are the sole trustees. A summary of the work of this Committee is provided in paragraphs 33 - 36.

3. In addition, the responsibilities of the PCC for the maintenance and upkeep of the church, parts of which are nine centuries old, are supported by the work of another charity, The Friends of St Mary’s Church, New Shoreham[5] . The Incumbent and Churchwardens are also the sole trustees of this.

4. In accordance with our duties as stated in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act, we have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. This public benefit has been demonstrated by the activities undertaken since the inception of the charity outlined in the ‘Objectives and Activities’ section above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEW SHOREHAM CHURCH TRUST

I report on the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Legal Status

The Church is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales, further details can be found on the front cover of these accounts.

2 Accounting policies

2.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current (2015) Statement Of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Parochial Church Council of St Mary De Haura meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. There are no material uncertainties about Parochial Church Council of St Mary De Haura’s ability to continue as a going concern. This conclusion takes into account the financial effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their affiliation to another body, nor those which are informal gatherings of church members.

2.2 Funds accounting

Funds held by the PCC are:

Unrestricted funds - general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes

Restricted funds - a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest; b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on that fund.

Endowment funds - funds the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from the investment of the endowment may be used, either as restricted or unrestricted funds, depending on the purpose set out in the terms of the original endowment.

2 Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and accounted for gross.

Grants

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

The diocesan parish contribution is accounted for on an annual basis, reflecting the allocation set by our Deanery. Any parish contribution unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

2.5 Fixed Assets

Investments

Investments are stated at fair value at the balance sheet date.

2.6 Cash Flow Statement

In accordance with Section 7 of FRS 102 the charity is claiming exemption from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on account of its size.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The Trustees seek to use short term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flow.

2.8 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

2.10 Estimates and judgements

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed by trustees on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The trustees do not consider that there are any critical estimates or areas of judgement that need to be brought to the attention of the readers of the financial statements.
