REPORT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2020

The members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.

Introduction

The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 21 September 2018 and operates under the Charities Act 2011. The governing documents for the charity are the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 (as amended) and the Church Representation Rules.

Objects of the charity

The charity is responsible for co-operating with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church be it pastoral, evangelistic, social or ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for maintaining certain church property situated within the parish, namely the church building at Church Grove, Hampton Wick.

Review of Activities

Our vision is to Love Jesus, Build Community and Transform Lives.

There are 275 adults on our electoral roll, and 515 adults, 177 children and 87 youth are involved in regular Sunday worship. A variety of family life, employment and Christian basics courses are regularly run throughout the year with attendance from both church members and also the wider community. There are thriving Children, Youth and Student Ministries.

In March 2020 government advice and legislation was introduced to help contain the outbreak of COVID-19. This required the temporary suspension of all physical gatherings. St John’s was able to continue many of its activities using online media, including recorded and live-streamed services, courses, ministries and events. As a consequence, St John’s has continued to welcome new members and visitors during this time. Furthermore, a new Love Your Neighbour ministry was launched to practically help those isolating or unwell due to COVID-19, to help feed people experiencing homelessness in Kingston, and provided Christmas Day lunch and support to elderly and vulnerable members of our local community.

Over the course of the year, St John’s has maintained its connection with other local organisations, including Hampton Deanery, Kingston Churches Together, Churches Together in Teddington, Kingston University, Twickenham Sea Cadets, The Hampton Wick Association, HM Prison Service, St John the Baptist Junior School and Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School.

Many of the PCC’s activities are undertaken by volunteers and the PCC could not operate effectively without their efforts. In particular volunteers help to support Children, Youth, Men’s and Women's ministries, run courses (including the Alpha Course, Marriage Course, Pre-Marriage Course), lead Worship and help with Church administration.

In planning the activities the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Financial Review

In 2020 St John’s reported a surplus of £40,895 (2019: £38,422). This was the result of strong and continuing levels of giving and careful cost management. The members of the PCC also agreed to accumulate reserves during 2020 with the aim of using these to develop and upgrade the existing church buildings to accommodate the requirement for additional space to support our ministry.

Overall, income decreased by £25,918, to £642,730. Largely as a result of COVID-19, there was a reduction in the amount of donations received from those coming to the church, the income received from activities organized by the church and from letting property. This reduction in income was offset, in part, by the grants received this year from the government’s Job Retention Scheme in respect of employees that had been furloughed. Expenditure decreased by £28,391 to £601,835. Again, largely as a result of COVID-19, there was a substantial reduction in the PCC’s normal operating expenses. These savings were offset, in part, by a larger contribution to the Diocese, an increase in clergy related expenses, and an increase in grant giving (in particular to those affected by COVID-19).

Net assets increased by this year’s surplus, which was £40,895, to £290,172. This is largely represented by cash of £226,120 (of which £173,401 is unrestricted) and fixed assets (which include this year’s upgrade to the church’s visual system and the audio system in the warehouse) of £50,309.

Future Plans

Our future plans continue to:

Reserves Policy

To ensure that the PCC always has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations to employees and creditors, the members of the PCC established a policy whereby the unrestricted cash held by the PCC should cover three months of planned expenditure after taking into account regular giving. For 2020, to comply with this policy, the members of the PCC determined that the charity should hold unrestricted cash of no less than £30,000. The PCC ended 2020 with unrestricted cash of £173,401 and the PCC plans to use much of the excess to help fund the upgrade of St John’s church building.

Risk Statement

The members of the PCC have reviewed the risks to which The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St John the Baptist Hampton Wick is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis. The schedule of major risks and mitigation identified by the members of the PCC are as follows.

No Potential Risk Mitigation
1 Reputational damage due to the behaviour of
senior leadership or staff members.		 The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St
John the Baptist Hampton Wick has clearly defined values and
behaviors which are regularly communicated and oversight
structures are in place for staff and senior leadership.
2 Harm comes to those in our care due to lack of
appropriate and compliant child and adults at
risk safeguarding procedures.		 The Church Council has adopted and co-operates with the Di-
ocese in its Safeguarding Policy and safer recruitment process.
DBS checks are made before any member of staff or volunteer
is engaged to work with children or adults at risk.
3 A shortfall in income and/or inadequate cashflow
results in an inability to meet salary and creditor
payments.		 Strong budgetary and financial controls are in place with regu-
lar financial reports and forecasts discussed at Parochial
Church Council meetings. Reserves are also maintained at a
level based on the net of three months 2020 budgeted ex-
penditure and income.
4 Harm comes to visitors or staff due to lack of ap-
propriate and compliant Health and Safety pro-
cedures.		 The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St
John the Baptist Hampton Wick has robust Health and Safety
processes, training and monitoring to ensure visitors and staff
are kept safe.

With regard to the PCC’s obligations to safeguard children and adults at risk, the members of the PCC confirm that they have complied with their duties under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.

Structure, governance and management.

The appointment of PCC members is governed by, and set out in, the Church Representation Rules. The PCC comprises all the clergy licensed to St Johns Hampton Wick, the two Churchwardens (elected annually at the annual Meeting of Parishioners) and up to twelve lay members elected at the Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). This also includes up to six lay members of the local Deanery Synod.

Page 4

Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the PCC should operate rests with the members of the PCC, who meet regularly to review and plan activities. The members of the PCC have delegated responsibility for the day to day operation of the PCC to a leadership team led by the incumbent. The members of the PCC receive training and advice from the local Diocese.

The PCC meets approximately six times a year and holds a retreat or vision meeting once a year. Additionally the Vicar and the two Churchwardens form the Executive Committee which meets twice a month. This Committee is empowered by the PCC to make decisions as may be required between PCC meetings and any key decisions made at this Committee and requiring approval by the full PCC are communicated to the PCC members for their approval via email.

Clergy and lay employed staff are responsible for the various ministries and for the finance and administration of the church; and make regular reports to the PCC.

PCC members are kept informed on matters affecting the parish, including health and safety, relevant legislation and safeguarding. One of the PCC’s employees is appointed as Church Safeguarding Officer and advises the members of the PCC on all matters relating to safeguarding. A Health and Safety Policy is in place and is kept under review. The PCC has adopted and co-operates with the Diocese of London in its Safeguarding Policy and safer recruitment process, including DBS checks made before any member of staff or volunteer is engaged to work with children or adults at risk.

The PCC co-operates with the Diocese of London at all levels in the pursuit of its charitable objectives.

Remuneration Policy and Principles

Our aim is to reward staff, irrespective of seniority, competitively with our peer organisations, informed by the following principles:

All of our directly employed permanent staff are paid at least £10.75 per hour which is the current London Living Wage.

COVID-19

In March 2020 the PCC took measures (in line with government advice and legislation) to help contain the outbreak of COVID-19. This included the temporary suspension of all physical gatherings and the PCC had to curtail, or change, how it operated. The PCC has been monitoring income and expenditure and has taken measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the PCC's free reserves. The PCC has not had to make any staff redundant but some staff were put on furlough; the PCC has received government funding to help it pay salaries to furloughed staff.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Members of the Parochial Church Council

The PCC is responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity law requires the PCC to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the PCC are required to:

  1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently

  2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

  3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

  4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts

  5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business

The PCC is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF

THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST HAMPTON WICK

('the Charity')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31 December 2020 on pages 8 to 19 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 11 to 13.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1 Statutory Information

The Parochial Church Council of The Ecclesiastical Parish of St John the Baptist Hampton Wick (the PCC) was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission in England & Wales on 21 September 2018. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The financial statements include all activities for which the PCC is legally responsible; the activities of informal gatherings of church members and groups that owe their main affiliation to another body are excluded.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Church Accounting Regulations 2006, the 'Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)' ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Use of merger accounting

The PCC was registered as a charity on 21 September 2018 and its first financial statements were in respect of the period commencing on that date and ending on 31 December 2019. The PCC was dormant during the period from 21 September 2018 to 31 December 2018 and had no assets or liabilities on 31 December 2018. On 1 January 2019 The Mission Community of St John's Kingston Bridge (charity number 1148264) ("SJKB") transferred its assets, liabilities and activities to the PCC. As permitted by the Charities SORP, this transfer has been accounted for as a merger because it qualifies as a charity reconstruction (whereby the charity has simply changed its legal form). In accordance with the requirements of merger accounting, the assets and liabilities of SLKB were transferred at book value, not fair value, to the PCC.

b) Going concern

The PCC have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The PCC have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the PCC have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly (e.g. due to the outbreak of COVID-19). The PCC have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

c) Income

Income (which includes planned giving, collections and other donations) is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part income is generally recognised when it is received by, or on behalf of, the PCC. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In particular volunteers help to support Children, Youth, Men's and Women's ministries, run courses (including Alpha Course, Parenting Course, Marriage Course, Marriage Preparation Course), lead Worship and help with the Church administration. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church conferences, events and courses.

Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. It includes income from the letting of property held primarily for use in charitable activities.

The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

d) Expenditure

Contributions in respect of the diocesan parish share are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for all amounts agreed to being payable for the financial year. Any contributions that have not been paid over by the year end are included as a creditor.

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.

The Charities SORP requires charities with income over £500,000 to allocate costs to the various activities undertaken by the charity. The nature of the work of the church is considered to be so integrated that the core charitable activity costs are considered to be for the one activity.

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

f) Tangible fixed assets

Consecrated and beneficed property is not included in these financial statements by virtue of s.10(2) of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure on consecrated or beneficed buildings is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Movable church furnishings held by the incumbent and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are capitalised in accordance with the policy set out below. These items are regarded as inalienable property and are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. Inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 has not been capitalised as there is insufficient cost information available.

Certain clergy accommodation are held in trust by the Diocese on behalf of the PCC. These properties are essential for the mission of the church and have been in use for many years but they have not been included in these financial statements as there is insufficient cost information and their depreciated cost is unlikely to be material.

The PCC has been granted exclusive use of Bank House Storage (known as 'The Warehouse) for church and mission purposes, by the leaseholder, the London Diocesan Fund (LDF). The LDF took this 21-year lease from the landlord (HSBC Bank) with this sole purpose in mind. It is anticipated that the PCC will eventually take over this lease however, at 31 December 2020, this lease remained with the LDF. Though the PCC expects to have continued use of the Warehouse, it does not have any legal interest in the property and therefore the amounts spent on refurbishing the property have not been capitalised in these financial statements.

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:

Equipment 3 years

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

No staff received salaries at a rate of more than £60,000 per annum.

Revd. Jerry Field, Revd. Anna Evans and Revd. Jon Kissell (who are clergy members of the PCC) receive a stipend from the Diocese and so they are not employees; some of the Parish Share paid to the Diocese is used to help meet the cost of these stipends. Revd. Anna Evans was provided with accommodation (which is customary for clergy) so that she could better perform her duties and the cost of this accommodation (and related removal costs) to the PCC was £31,215 (2019: £6,136).

No member of the PCC received employment benefits in either the current or preceding year.

12 Pension commitments

The Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF)

The PCC participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. The Scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the schemes separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

The Church Workers Pension Fund has a section known as the Defined Benefits Scheme, which comprises a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic and a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

Pension Builder Scheme

As previously mentioned, the Pension Builder Scheme of the Church Workers Pension Fund is made up of two sections, Pension Builder Classic and Pension Builder 2014, both of which are classed as defined benefit schemes.

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension for members for payment from retirement, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Bonuses may also be declared, depending upon the investment returns and other factors.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. This account may have bonuses added by the Board before retirement. The bonuses depend on investment experience and other factors. There is no requirement for the Board to grant any bonuses. The account, plus any bonuses declared, is payable from members’ Normal Pension Age.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable (2020: £8,244, 2019: £10,465).

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent was carried out as at 31 December 2016. A valuation as at 31 December 2019 was under way as at 31 December 2020.

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a deficit of £14.2m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose not to grant a discretionary bonus, which will have acted to improve the funding position. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £1.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The legal structure of the Scheme is such that if another employer fails, the PCC could become responsible for paying a share of that employer’s pension liabilities.
