Annual Report 2020
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrews Eastern Green, Coventry, operating within the Diocese of Coventry, is a registered charity number 1177952.
St. Andrew’s Church has been serving God in the community of Eastern Green since 1875 and more recently Allesley Green and Bannerbrook Park.
Our purpose as a church is:
-
To encounter the life changing God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, through prayer, worship and bible study
-
To make disciples of Jesus
-
To serve those in need especially in our own local community as if they were Jesus
Achievements during lockdown
Building a support structure
-
Shopping – we utilised skills of the church family with members of the community, to safely recruit volunteers to food shop for the vulnerable or those who had to isolate.
-
Support line – we set up a support line for people to contact if they were in need or for family members living away to ask for help for a loved one who lived locally.
-
Phone volunteers – we safely recruited a group of church members to keep in contact with the elderly or those feeling isolated.
-
Food bank – The food bank in the neighbouring parish needed help managing it. St Andrew’s took over the responsibility by appointing a new manager and arranging for the food bank to open again at a time of greatest need.
-
Supermarkets – We negotiated with the local supermarkets to allow our shopping volunteers to undertake additional shopping for those who were vulnerable.
Church Services – People felt isolated from the church family and the opportunity to worship. In response, the Worship Team produced weekly recorded online services.
Zoom coffee mornings – These were introduced to maintain a feeling of fellowship after the Sunday service. They replicated the coffee and chat people were used to on a Sunday.
PPE – There was a need for PPE in our local care homes and wider within the city. Following an appeal, we received offers to meet the urgent need of those in the local area.
Structure, governance and management
The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, readers and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding how the funds of the PCC are spent.

-

Financial Review
Income
Income was seriously affected by Covid19. Stewardship giving rose by £800 but plate collections fell by £9,000. Income from weddings and funerals fell by £9,000. Donations decreased by £2,600 Tax refund from gift-aided giving rose by £1,400.
Other income including fundraising and grants for our youth work and administration decreased by £3,000.
Overall, our total income fell by £21,000 to £105,554.
We are incredibly grateful to you for your generous donations and regular giving during a very difficult year.
Expenditure
We made use of the Government’s furlough scheme during the year and salaries fell by £2,600. Staff expenses dropped by 47% to £3,500.
Premises costs fell by £8,000. In 2019 there was a major refurbishment of the kitchen area costing £7,600.
Parish share commitment was £13,000 less in 2020 for two reasons. In 2019 there was a remainder from 2018 of £3,000 and the Diocese introduced a parish share waiver scheme last year to aid parishes struggling to meet their targets. We applied for and were granted a waiver of £9,000.
Other costs fell by £10,000 due mainly to the reduction in funeral and wedding expenses and discipleship.
Overall, our expenditure fell by £37,000 to £91,955 which means that we ended the year with a surplus of £13,599.
Total funds at 31[st] December 2020 were £18,094 of which £10,688 was restricted or designated.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ("the Regulations") and the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
