The PCC members present their report and accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 for the
Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Crawley, St John the Baptist (Operating under
the name of St Johns Crawley).
PCC Member Training
All staff, volunteers and PCC members undergo a formal recruiting and selection process, followed
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
by an induction period that includes any training considered necessary to effectively perform their
role. Senior Management of the Church consists of Clergy, whose pay is set via a stipend, the level of
which is set by the Diocese, and the management team, whose pay is set by the PCC with reference
to appropriate market rates.
Risk Management
The church’s operations are wholly reliant upon the members of the congregation continuing to give money and time to support the church’s staffing and activities. Should this funding cease the church would be unable to continue to support all its current activities and staffing levels. This risk is managed on behalf of the church by the PCC which is chaired by Revd Steve Burston.
The management accounts of the church and considers what activities and staffing the church is able to commit to and agrees the necessary remedial actions to ensure the church is able to continue its operations. The preparation of the management accounts is overseen by the treasurer of the church. Grant Making The charity pays grants in the form of mission giving. The level of mission giving is set at the start of each financial year by the PCC members and is based on the charity’s projected income and asset levels.

The Vicar’s Report
We have seen the storms of life hit this world, this nation and this town. As the storms of Covid, economic, social and political turmoil hit us, Liz and I have been deeply moved by the inspirational way St John’s and the other churches in Crawley have responded. The team, the PCC and the members of Church have shown the Love of Christ in showing up time and time again, be that with shopping, a listening ear or helping hand up. Thank you for all that you have done and do.
It is strange time as we come out of lockdown and we look to the future and recast a new vision as we partner with God in this place and this time. Thank you to all the Churchwardens that have support Liz and I and to our amazing team that have completed many of the reports below. I would normally outline where we are as Church in figures and diagrams. In Covid world it is difficult to gauge where we are as a Church as some have left to move to different areas of the country including Revd Jimmy Young and others have joined from the Alpha Course.
What I can tell you is that this is year that we need to put each other inside and outside the church first. St John’s needs to be a people first church. To give each other time. We remain committed to the Vision, the Values and culture below. This season we will be seeing what it looks like on 27[th] June when we open (the Lord willing) fully and we see what are the needs in Crawley and where the spirit might be moving in the coming year. We listened as team to talk recently from Revd Nicky Gumbel who told us that need to have the Roar of Love, the Roar of Justice and the Roar of the Good News. Our stakes in the ground remain Alpha, Sunday Services, Social Action and Discipleship.
The reports below are heartening on how God has moved in this place and this time. I could many personal highlights but for me I can only pick 5 in the space that permits.New Staff members – Hazel Operation Director, Nicky PT PA to me (do pray for her!), Laura LYN Hub Manager, Paul Full Time Creative Lead, Abby PT Youth Pastor, Laura LYN Hub Manager and of course Revd Sam Buck Curate.
Love Your Neighbour – has been extraordinary at meeting the needs of Crawley in this time with a grant of £112,141 (£45000 received in 2020 and £67141 received in 2021) and the generous nature both in time, volunteers and financial of the other Churches in Crawley. We reorganised and Liz heads up that team and amazing volunteers. From personal note I like to say thank you to my wonderful wife who works tireless like so many into the evenings! Easter - Good Friday and Focus Sunday! Just amazing services online! Lape dance – the unity of the worship – the cocktails delivered to peoples door – the Albie workout and the spirt of God.
Alpha, Bereavement and Marriage Courses! We were so surprised that Online worked and how it has worked – 10 people have come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour. We ran 2 marriage courses by the wonderful Moulders (now in Wales) and the bereavement course. The Way of Jesus – the teaching series and the video series has had by far the most positive comments since I have led St John’s. Focussing on being with Jesus, become like Jesus in order to what Jesus did! I pray that heart transformation happens in all of us. To disciple well we all need to be emotionally mature knowing who we are in Jesus, we must emphasis
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
being instead of doing, we must rediscover the spiritual patterns of Jesus and we must move from success to significance. Think Pattern and the Way of Jesus sets us off in the right direction partnering with the Holy Spirit.
DISCIPLESHIP
Groups/Pattern/Preaching
Our Central (Mon), North (Tues) and South (Thurs) have continued online in lockdown. The quizzes, games, bible study and prayers have kept us in community! Pattern Groups have continued to meet and grow. As lockdown ends we hope to encourage more people into these Pattern Groups as we explore being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus and doing what Jesus did. Important to that has been the preaching series and videos of The Way of Jesus. We have seen over 40 people have take tpart in the Way of Jesus Course. Mike commented for the first time that it was his faith that he had discovered in Jesus rather than his partners. - Steve
Pastoral care
Over 2020 we’ve needed to find creative and innovative ways to maintain and increase the level of pastoral care at St John’s, particularly as people struggle in many different ways through lockdowns. Loneliness and isolation have been key concerns, as well as the risks of missing important pastoral situations through the lack of face to face contact. Liz Burston did a fantastic job in setting up and coordinating the Keep in touch (KIT) system through which individuals who give their consent can be contacted regularly by a designated KIT person. This has enabled us to keep in contact with most of our church family on a regular basis as well as creating new friendships and deepening others. It has meant that many more people are now actively engaged in pastoral care.
This year Sam Buck took over the coordination of KIT, which continues to grow and has become a great way to connect with new comers. As society continues to open up we are really looking forward to connecting with people face to face more and more and to resume regular home visits as permitted. However, I think KIT will be here to stay for a long time to come. - Sam
Apprentices - LDY
Over the course of the academic year our Apprentices have been engaging in the Leadership development year (LDY) along with others from St Peter’s Brighton. This takes for the form of weekly input sessions run by staff at St Peter’s, ideally face to face, but often on zoom by necessity. The course input alternates between theological and leadership training, with the addition of monthly extra leadership input from HTB’s central intern training program. Our apprentices have been inspired and challenged by much of what they’ve learnt each Monday and have regular group or 1 to 1 feedback and reflections with Sam to begin to process what they’ve heard.
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
We began the year with 5 Apprentices and now have 7, which is really encouraging. They each add incredible value to all that goes on at St John’s and continue to inspire us with their service and attitude. – Sam
Young Adults
St John's Crawley Young Adults, for those aged 18-30 has continued to grow and develop having formally started in Feb 2020.
Jeanne Tilos, who leads YA's with me has done a great job in helping me lead YA's and looking after the woman in Young Adults. Alex Lindsay-Stewart continues to grow and develop in the internship he has done for us, looking after social action. We have also had 2 new people join the team which has been great who regularly help out with socials and planning. We are also grateful for all hard work our team does on social media which has really taken a step up this year with Emily Hamilton taking over running it and the support the team brings.
Since the last report we have just started in person socials in groups of 6 which attract regularly 15 people and the post 6pm bible study- Reappearing Church where we go deeper has 12 YA's regularly attending. This is really encouraging to see young people being hungry for God and seeking more of the presence of God.
In the future we aim to meet in larger groups, connect more with Crawley College and put on a dating and singles night- an informal evening to chat about dating as a Christian and being single. Will

EVANGELISM
Alpha
Since Alpha was launched at St John’s in January 2018, a course has run every term with over 300 people attending. Over 30 people attending Alpha, found faith in Christ and have since become active members of the church. The past year during the pandemic has seen Alpha move online. We have been amazed how successful Alpha Online has been, seeing people who wouldn’t or couldn’t come to church or attend in person, join us from their home. This past year, 46 people attended Alpha Online with 10 becoming Christians and 2 giving testimonies of physical healing. As such, we won’t go back, and from September plan to run Alpha both in person and online. To provide continuity for when Martin’s curacy comes to an end, Mickey Seward, who has run many Alpha courses and is passionate about bringing people to Jesus, has taken over the leadership of Alpha at St John’s.
The Bereavement Journey
In response to the pandemic, St John’s ran ‘The Bereavement Journey’ course led by Martin & Nicky Walker. Ten members of the church attended the course, finding it helpful in discussing their own experience of loss and grief in a safe space. We plan to open the course up to the wider Crawley community, running an annual course every spring and inviting all who have held funerals at the church in the previous year.
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
The Marriage Course
The Marriage Course, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build stronger marriages ran continually throughout the pandemic. Led by Will & Sian Moulder, over 70 people attended the course, with wonderful feedback given. As the Moulder family move away, we are looking for another couple, with a heart for marriage, to pick up the batten for the next season.
County Mall Chaplaincy
Retail in the County Mall has been one of the victims of the pandemic with all but essential shops ceasing to trade, staff furloughed or made redundant. St John’s support was offered to all staff who may be struggling at home with Love Your Neighbour, Alpha, The Marriage Course and the Chaplaincy. With Debenhams closing and the lockdown easing, the Chaplaincy has returned in person, listening to people’s stories of lockdown. With the new development of the bus terminal right outside and increased flats being built nearby, the future of the Mall is promising. St John’s has an excellent relationship with the County Mall management, who have agreed to offer a venue for a Love Your Neighbour foodbank. Discussions are in place as to how the Chaplaincy may develop in the future. - Martin
WORSHIP
It has been so good to be able to be together in church and worship together - despite still having to “have a happy hum” rather than sing, it has been so encouraging to see the worshipping community of St John’s begin to re-gather in the church. As we re-gather and grow as community it’s also been really encouraging to have 5 people starting to explore joining the worship and production team. We are really looking forward to the 27th June (hopefully that will be the date!) As well as focus at the end of July for times of presence and praise as a church family. James
At the 9am Traditional Eucharist we have been indebted to our wonderful organist Aaron and Claire for singing – who with the help of Sam in compiling the liturgy, June the fantastic pew sheets (thanks so much for posting them out every week!) and Marion that has helped choose the hymns. Its not the same but it has been very good in the circumstances. It has been nice to see the familiar faces return .Holy Week showed the value of the contemplative services as journeyed together to Easter. It be so nice when we return on our Patronal Festival on 27[th] June for singing, servers and a procession! - Steve
St John’s Online
St John’s Online has continued to facilitate services for those isolating or staying at home, with around 20 people watching the live eucharist, and 50 people watching the live 11:30. In the week following the livestream, the eucharist averages a further 50 views and the 11:30 a further 100.
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
Since we began live-streaming services last year, our YouTube channel now has nearly 350 subscribers, nearly 50,000 views and a total watch-time of over 13,600 hours.
Another massive thanks from me to all the production team who have served every week the whole time of covid in order to facilitate St John’s Online services. – James
Christmas
Despite being sandwiched in between two lockdowns, it was so great to be able to gather inside the church over the Christmas period, with the majority of our usual Christmas services being able to take place as well as online; 24 hours of prayer, kids carols, 2 contemporary carols services, 2 carols by candlelight services, 2 crib services, midnight mass and of course Christmas Day. We saw 360 people attend Christmas services in person, and our Christmas service livestreams have accrued around 780 views. -James
Easter
Easter this year was a great highlight for me, from the daily reflections and compline on St John’s Online, journeying through Holy Week through the daily Eucharists in the church, a wonderful time of community through the Agape meal (and such delicious food - thank you Helen and the team!), such a powerful demonstration of church unity at the Good Friday churches together service, and amazing times of celebration on Easter Sunday. -James
I was particularly thankful to have the opportunity to be involved in the Good Friday Churches Together service, where we saw such wide participation from many Crawley churches be it through the worship, the reflections, or the readings from Crawley Christian charities. This service, streamed from the Love Your Neighbour Crawley youtube channel, has had nearly 1000 views at the time of writing. – James
Focus
As Focus 2020 could not happen as usual, in July ’20 we had “Summer Sunday”, where we live-streamed for the whole day, including our usual Eucharist and 11:30 services, a BBQ, content from Kids and Youth, a unity service and of course Call-A-Cocktail!
This year we are so excited to be hosting Focus locally for our church family, at Holsted manor from 23-25th July, for a time of people, presence and praise. As Steve shared on Vision Sunday this fits in with the vision of St John’s for this time, as we re-gather we are expecting a powerful time of community, and coming together to worship God and spend time in his presence this summer. -James
Comms
Since September we have had Becky our apprentice in the comms team. As well as participating in the Leadership Development Year at St Peter’s Brighton, Becky has been
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
able to get involved in many aspects of the communications team here at St John’s, from writing copy and creating content for our social media accounts, designing the noticeboard layouts for the prayer and Christmas noticeboards, as well as overseeing and delivering on the whole project of the Easter trail, which involved directing and filming the content, as well as editing, rendering and uploading to Youtube. Becky has been such a valuable asset to St John’s this year, and has grown immensely in both her spiritual journey and her creative and technical abilities.
It was great to welcome Paul to the staff team at the beginning of 2021 as our Creative Lead. Paul got stuck straight in by producing and editing the videos for The Way of Jesus series, and now creates content for all St John’s and Love Your Neighbour Crawley social media accounts, as well as creating the branding for events like Easter and Focus, and any other creative tasks which come our way! - James
SOCIAL MISSION
Love Your Neighbour
LYN now has 18 Crawley churches involved and a very large Helpforce team who, in the last 12 months have: done nearly 800 shopping trips, delivered around 400 prescriptions, made over 2650 hot meals, 6000 sandwiches, not to mention food parcel deliveries, phone friends, gardening and other vital errands, and to top it all, a 50 strong team are helping with the COVID vaccination programme! As friendships with regular clients have been made, we’ve seen people interested in coming to church, asking about Alpha and receiving prayer. This is such a good opportunity to show people Gods love through action and share our faith!
Laura, the Hub Manager is doing a brilliant job running our Re-Works programme, we have heard such encouraging stories of people getting back into work! Mel, our Helpforce (volunteer) Coordinator continues to do an incredible job looking after the Helpforce Team, no small task with 190 on our books!
We are in the process of securing a ‘LYN/Crawley Foodbank Partnership ‘drop in’ Hub in the town Centre where people can come for a coffee and chat, supported and sign posted to both secular and faith based groups. It’s so exciting to have the opportunity to share our faith and offer prayer where appropriate. - Liz
The Bridge Café
The Bridge Café which partners with the Probation service, offers a safe and welcoming space for those on probation to meet with their probation officer and enjoy a ‘home’ cooked breakfast. Although since the end of March 2020 the café was only open between October and December Helen and the team has kept in regular contact with the probation service and some clients and LYN have supported many clients with food parcels/phone friends and many who are in temporary accommodation have been receiving sandwiches
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
etc. Emmy and Community Payback have been working on sanding and painting the hall doors and putting up the new fence too!
The Bridge volunteers have stayed in contact by zoom pretty much weekly since April 2020 and they can’t wait to meet again as the café opens its doors again on Wednesday 12[th] May with a brand new kitchen which has doubled in size! - Helen
Hope Into Action
The HIA house is running well, with two befrienders, Alan and Richard, coming along side our longest standing tenant who has attended SJC fairly regularly. Their support has been incredible, they both spend time with him, do activities with him and never let up, even when he is going through a tough time. They are such a blessing to him, serving so humbly. Nigel, HIA, has a a couple more potential tenants in the pipeline for whom we will be looking for more befrienders so if you’re interested do get in touch. - Liz
Recovery Course
This group is currently running every Monday evening on Zoom for anyone going through any kind of addiction or compulsive behaviour. The team of two, Steph and Kevin, are loving supporting their regulars and are so looking forward to being able to meet in person again, though zoom has had it’s advantages. They are keen to expand the team to build up some resilience so if you’re interested do get in touch for more information. - Steph
OPERATIONS
Finance
Please see attached 2020 end of year accounts as prepared by an independent accountant. The Treasurer (Mark Chappell) stepped down from his role in September 2020, leaving the position of Treasurer vacant.
In December 2020 we instructed Sussex Payroll to take on the payroll for St. John’s employees.
Our Operations Director has had some basic training in the use of our finance software and has been working with our Accounts Clerk to oversee our day to day financial activities. In 2021 we have started to use Bankline to make our payments which enables us to request dual authorisation of all payments made and adds an additional element of security to our financial procedures. Two members of the PCC have taken on this responsibility of dual authorisation.
We are in the process of updating the signatories on all our accounts to reflect the current PCC and relevant staff, this has already been done for the Natwest and CCLA accounts. In 2021 we will begin to transfer the money that was raised for the Queen’s Square project from St. John’s account to the Queen’s Square account which is overseen by a separate Board of Trustees.
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF CRAWLEY, ST JOHN THE BAPTIST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Charity number 1175626
As Mark was both Treasurer and a Qualified Accountant, there is a significant gap in knowledge in this area currently. It is important we appoint a Treasurer and look to add some additional support in this area.
We received a generous donation from Janet Bastable legacy which will be used to fund Mission, as defined by the Church of England Five Marks of Mission.
Safeguarding
In September 2020 our Safeguarding Officer stepped down from her role on the PCC, leaving the position vacant.
During 2020, the Associate Vicar managed the processes and administration of
our safeguarding processes, which was then handed over to the Operations Director at the end of the year.
We are currently reviewing our processes and developing our safeguarding systems and will be rolling this out throughout 2021.
HR
In 2020 St. John’s had the total of 14 employees and 3 x new staff roles (Operations Director, Love Your Neighbour Hub Manager, Love Your Neighbour Co-ordinator). A number of staff were put on furlough between April and September 2020 where we were able to benefit from the Government’s Job Retention Scheme.
At the end of 2020 new policies were introduced to help streamline some of St. John’s processes. These included Annual Leave Policy, Disciplinary and Misconduct Policy, Grievance Policy, Privacy Policy, Sickness and Absence Policy and Statement of Faith and Behaviours. These were developed alongside an HR consultant.
In 2021 we are introducing a one year fixed term part time post of a Wellbeing Chaplain alongside Saxonbrook Surgery. We hope this will start in the summer of 2021.
Buildings and Maintenance
The Community Payback team continue to support of us with their workforce and at the end of 2020 started painting the hall doors and clearing the hall garden. In 2021 they have continued to paint the hall doors and have almost completed erecting the fence which marks out the garden behind the hall. In summer 2021 the team will also support us in clearing the churchyard and helping to maintain the area around the graves. With the help of some funding from Love Your Neighbour, in 2021 we have been able to renovate the hall kitchen, extending into the hall which will enable us to increase the capacity of the food that can be cooked and enable us to expand the use of the kitchen to serve more of the Crawley local community.
In early 2021 it was decided in the long run we would discontinue renting out the flat above the hall and change it’s use to office space as the team has now expanded and more space will be needed once everyone is back working in person and working from home has reduced.
In June 2021 the Church Wardens and Operations Director are planning to develop a buildings committee to create a plan for the upkeep and renovations to the church, inline with the most recent Quinquennial report.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
Note 2 Accounting policies 2.1 INCOME Recognition of These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the PCC becomes entitled to income the resources, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are donations met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the PCC has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the PCC or have been met. Government grants The PCC has received no government grants in the reporting period.
Tax reclaims on Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift donations and gifts Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Volunteer help The church benefits from the dedicated work of a great number of volunteers. In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of volunteers is not recognised in the accounts. Income from This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be interest, royalties measured reliably. and dividends 2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the PCC to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
| Mission Giving with | Where a grant or donation has conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output |
|---|---|
| performance | to be provided, the obligation is only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has |
| conditions | provided the specified service or output. There were no such grants or donations made during this |
| reporting period. | |
| Mission Giving | Where there are no conditions attaching to a grant or donation, a liability for the full funding |
| payable without | obligation is recognised once it is probable that the payment will be made and the amount of the |
| performance | grant can be measured reliably. |
| conditions | |
| Redundancy cost | The PCC made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. |
| Deferred income | No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. |
| Creditors | The PCC has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. |

Provisions for liabilities Basic financial instruments
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
The PCC accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP.
2.3 ASSETS
Consecrated land In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of and buildings and 'charity' by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial other church statements. All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or benefice buildings is written off property to the statement of financial activities.
Other tangible fixed These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are assets for use by valued at cost. Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The the PCC periods used are: - Furniture and Fittings 5 Years - Office Equipment 5 Years - IT Equipment 3 Years - PA/AV Equipment & Musical Inst 3 Years Investments The PCC holds fixed asset investments only in cash deposit accounts. The value can therefore be reliably measured. Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the PCC. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Current asset The PCC has cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes investments rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
Leased assets: the Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by PCC as leasee finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the PCC. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation in each period.

Note 11 Fair value of assets and liabilities
The PCC's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) is small as the debtors usually have a long-standing association with the PCC and/or are local authorities. The PCC monitors the expected cashflow over future months, taking a conservative view of expected income in order to minmise the liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands). The PCC has only investments held in cash, there is no exposure to market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market).
