Our aims and purposes as a charity

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Priest-in-Charge, the Revd Andrew BIRKS, in:

What we planned to do to achieve our charitable objectives

When planning our activities for the year, our Priest-in-Charge and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on ‘charities for the advancement of religion’.

The council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

For this year we discussed and planned the following objectives and activities to fulfil our aims:

What we achieved and how we affected beneficiaries’ lives

Attendance at worship

The church family welcomes visitors from within as well as outside the parish boundary. Visitors attend by personal choice and, it is our great pleasure to welcome anyone from all walks of life to take part in the life of the church. We contend that voluntary attendance to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, is a major demonstration of the public benefit of our activities.

2

The average regular weekly attendance, counted during “Dear Father Andrew, Thank You so much October was 34 adults and 6 children. Over the course of the for all you did to help them have the year we have seen a steady rise in service attendance and it has wedding they had hoped for…..…R & D been a great encouragement to welcome new families to our churches. We look to encourage the deepening of faith for all ages. We have been able to start the Sunday School again which

is great to see the children back in church and very much part of our services.

Christmas is a very special time of celebration where many sections of the community come together to join in the services. Children and adults alike join in and memories are made. The numbers on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were West Stoke Carol Service was simply encouraging from last years figures with good numbers in our magical, wonderful and made a congregations across advent and Christmas in all our services, both wonderful Christmas Eve the ‘special’ services and the Sunday services.

Likewise at Easter we saw good numbers of families attending our services. We had the Stations of The Cross at Funtington, and then carried our cross from Fungtington to St Wilfrid’s Hall, where we had lunch and a devotional service. We then continued the journey to Chidham, St Mary’s for Veneration of the Cross and Communion. On Easter Morning 32 of us gathered at 7am for a service on Cobnor beach where the paschal candle was lit on the shore. The light was taken to both Chidham and Funtington where the respective paschal candles were lit.

Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers.

A greater number of the church family have been involved in leading various aspects of worship, lending great encouragement to those involved, as well as the whole congregation. We continue to seek to extend the opportunities for the exercise of ministry and gifts within the life of our community. We are forging links with our local schools and developing ways of working more closely together. This is an ongoing process. As already stated, the Sunday School has restarted, and there is continued support of the schools within our parish.

Evangelism and outreach

We have had a number of social events in the parish with HM The Queen’s Jubilee, and the lighting of the beacon being a highlight of our summer. The fireworks party, hosted at Adsdean was another huge success with over 100 people attending the events. Our Christmas Fair was a huge success with nearly £1,000 raised.

Provision of the church building for people to enjoy

It was with great delight that we celebrated the baptism of 4 children.

During the year there have been 3 weddings and 1 wedding blessing; 6 funerals.

The main focus this year has been to explore ways in which the church building can be used for events in addition to services.

It is important to us that the church is available for private prayer not just to the church family but to the wider visiting community. To this end the church building is always open.

3

Many remark not only how refreshing it is to find an open church but, also the sense of peacefulness and

spirituality the church pervades.

“Lovely space to come and just think about life and give thanks” M.A-L

Other remarks include the sense of history within; that people of much earlier generations found life and presence there and, comments on the appreciation of the architectural beauty of the building and biblical archaeology.

Spatial reordering of the church building and future projects

The church had a plan for some major repair and renovation work to be completed in 2022 and we tried to ensure that worship and use of the building was not impacted, and where it was impacted by the works, it was minimal. We began work to repair the roof in early June, which impacted on 2 wedding services.

The work was completed and there was national media interest in the church being one of the first in the country to have solar panels fitted on the roof. Often churches are not able to have solar panels because of them being listed buildings, but the design of St Mary’s, Funtington meant that we were able to have them installed. We are receiving requests for more information about them which has been forwarded to the architect to address.

We are faced with the issue of having one priest with two parishes which has an impact on making sure that there is enough cover for the services that we provide. We need to ensure that when the priest is not able to be at Funtington, West Stoke or Sennicotts, a service can still take place albeit the service may not be a Eucharist one. We have been extremely grateful for the support of both clergy and Readers from our parishes and neighbouring parishes who have provided cover for us on a weekly basis. As pressure for clergy increases, it may be that the service times are reviewed again in 2023.

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish

We do not have a Pastoral Care Team, but we do work closely with Good Neighbours, and we will need to look again at the Pastoral support of our community in the new APCM year.

Other charitable giving

The parish magazine continues to be distributed to all households in the parish. This helps to maintain links between the church family and those who have not yet felt the need to take part in what we do.

During the year £1,000 was raised at The Christmas Fayre (in 2021), which was then donated to a number of local, deserving charities. The church family has supported many other mission and charitable societies, Chichester Diocesan Family Support Work, the Children’s Society, Stone pillow and the local foodbank.

Staff costs

The PCC reviewed the cost and requirements for the graveyards. There has been a significant saving for the parish in the respect of new contractors. The contractors at Funtington have made a huge improvement to the grounds, and there has been much favourable comment on their work. The grounds at West Stoke have also come under review and there is a reduced cost compared to the previous contractor. Sennicotts is also well maintained and cared for. All of our churchyards are in good order, and where work is required, plans are in place to deal with these in 2023. We were pleased to finally see the southern boundary fence (which had been kindly donated to us by a local resident) installed. We are currently awaiting permission to replace the boundary fence on the eastern boundary.

Trustee payments and expenses

The PCC supported the clergy by paying Council Tax, Water and other charges for the Vicarage at Chidham where the Priest-in-Charge resides. Environmental charges, electric and fuel oil for the three Churches have also been paid.

All payments to persons related to or connected to the Trustees are recorded in the annual accounts note 15.

Repairs to the fabric of the church building.

The repairs to the church include the repairs to the roof and Ratham Chapel which has been the major works completed in 2022. We had our Quinquennial Inspection of St Mary’s Funtington of which all the issues of concern have been or are being addressed by the architect. Where we were able, VAT was reclaim using the application for a grant to cover the VAT paid. The grant comes from the Department for Culture Media and Sport.

Why we hold some money in reserve.

It is PCC policy to invest temporarily surplus general funds with the CBF Church of England deposit fund, and Blackrock Fund Managers, returning proportionately these funds to our current account, as they are needed, to pay day-to-day bills.

The PCC has decided to keep a minimum reserve of £25,000 within our general fund on the basis that it would provide for 4 months of normal expenditure.

As well as holding the above general reserves, from time to time the PCC receives restricted legacies for expenditure on particular purposes, defined by the donor. We aim to expend such money as soon as possible after receiving the legacy, depending on the specific objectives of the donor. Where we have identified that the specific purpose can only be achieved by delaying the expenditure, we invest the legacy temporarily until such time as the need for expenditure is identified. During the year we received no restricted legacies.

Notes to the financial report

1 Accounting policies

a Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current (2019) Statement Of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (FRS 102).

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.

b Funds accounting

Funds held by the PCC are:

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

Designated funds - monies set aside by the PCC out of unrestricted funds for specific future purposes or projects.

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 .

c Income and endowments

All income and endowments are accounted for without deduction for any costs of receivability, are recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Collections are recognised when received.

Planned giving receivable is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable, and the amount accords with the Gift Aid declaration or other record of intention to donate.

Gift aid recovered is recognised when the income to which it is attached is recognised.

Grants and legacies are recognised when the formal offer in writing of the funding, is received by the PCC.

Charitable activities

Fees for weddings and funerals are recognised when the events are in the accounting year and receipt is probable.

Other trading activities

Trading activities are where income is receivable in return for selling goods or providing services. Income from trading is recognised when received.

Investment income

Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.

10

Notes to the financial report (continued)

All other income

All other income is recognised in accordance with the above overall policy.

Gains and losses on investments

Realised gains are recognised when the investments are sold.

Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December.

d 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.

Church Activities

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.

e Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011.

Movable church furnishing held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected but are not included in the financial statements. For other property acquired prior to 2010 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore the cost of such assets is not stated in the financial statements.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of tangible fixed assets, excluding freehold properties, over their expected useful lives. The rates we have applied are:

Fixtures and fittings - Organ 3%
Fixtures and fittings - Solar Panels 10%
Audio visual equipment 25%

No depreciation is provided on freehold property as it is the PCC's policy to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair.

Investments

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

f Current Assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown a debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible.
