Structure, Governance and Management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under statute law, The Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 . PCC members are charity trustees. The rules of appointment of PCC members are governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020 . Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and consider election to the PCC.

The work of the PCC is supported by working groups which meet between full meetings of the PCC. Their deliberations are reported where necessary to the PCC for discussion and action. A budget is prepared annually by the Treasurer after consultation with those groups which have expenditure. This is presented to the PCC for discussion and approval before being presented to the APCM. Any expenditure which may be proposed during the year and has not been approved within the budget has to be presented to the PCC for specific approval.

St. Mary’s PCC met on seven occasions through the year.

Standing Committee

This is the only committee of the PCC required by law. It comprises the Rector, Churchwardens, Treasurer and Secretary and has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. Other members of the PCC may be co-opted to the Standing Committee as necessary. The Standing Committee met on one occasion during the year.

Leadership Team

Whilst the PCC and Standing Committee are the only required formal decision making bodies, the appointment of members to a Leadership Team remains a priority for the Rector.

At the heart of this team is the recognition that ministry leadership is based on calling and gifting. The role of the Leadership Team is to take overall day to day responsibility for ensuring that St. Mary’s continues its progress towards its vision and therefore works closely with the Rector and is accountable to the PCC. This team aims to be made up of those having overall ministry and leadership responsibility for the key dimensions of our vision: leadership, discipleship, worship, mission and fellowship.

In 2022, St. Mary’s Leadership Team comprised the following:

Revd Dr David Archer Debbie Corrigan

Bronwen Greenslade (until July 2022)

Working Groups

In the last year the following working groups have reported to the PCC, comprising the following:

Building Team

Revd David Archer, Mike Adnett, David Davies (Chair), David Manning, Geoff Williams.

Finance Team

Revd David Archer, Anne Bolland, Debbie Corrigan (Chair, Treasurer, Stewardship Secretary), Anna Saverton, David Watts.

Safeguarding Team

Revd David Archer, Jean Chudleigh (DBS Verifier), Beckie Head (Parish Safeguarding Officer), Dan Head.

Mission Partners Group

Revd David Archer (Chair), Sheila Adnett (Secretary), Kathryn Tolson, Bob Trendell, Charmaine Trendell.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC has the responsibility of working with the incumbent, in promoting the mission of the church in the parish – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. St. Mary’s mission is to be whole-life disciples of Jesus Christ who changes lives, communities and nations.

The PCC has responsibility to support and develop the mission of St. Mary’s both home and overseas. The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities for the church, ancillary buildings and churchyard.

Achievements and Performance

Our prayer is to be a vibrant and growing church. With this in mind the PCC has invested significantly in mission action planning and this report marks progress against our church vision which, given the significant upheaval of COVID-19, remains as Connecting People With God, 2016-21.

It focusses our priorities around the following goals and objectives:

Every year, the PCC commits to prayerfully identifying one or two goals from our vision, which it perceives to be the most pressing, or timely for the season ahead, and to make these their “wildly important goals” (WIGs). However with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic still visible, the PCC considered that ministry activity needed to continue to focus on the process of rebuilding and strengthening certain key ministries. With this in mind, it is helpful to think of the image of ministry as “trellis and vine” – where the vine represents actual ministry activity and growth, while the trellis refers to the support structures that enable such ministry to occur.

The following three areas, initially highlighted in 2021 as important for our recovery, remained a priority for the PCC in 2022:

Although by the close of the year, the most obvious impacts of COVID-19 had receded in terms of what was permissible in church services and our activities and events, it is difficult to accurately assess by how much, and in what ways the pandemic is still impacting what we are able to do. Clearly the pandemic has deeply affected certain church behaviours and patterns of how we do things – for example, communion by intinction instead of sharing a common cup; the use of contactless giving instead of via a traditional plate. Some of what we used to do is unlikely to ever return to how it was before the pandemic. Other areas will need to be reinstated carefully, and some things will grow in completely new ways.

It is also worth acknowledging that COVID-19 remained in circulation throughout the year, and at certain times virus infection rates again surged meaning church activities were undoubtedly impacted – Holy Week and Easter was one such period.

More generally though, during 2022, Sunday and midweek ministry returned to the following shape:

As first noted in last year’s report, various observations have been made about how the pandemic years have impacted church life, especially with regards to Sunday attendance and the level of engagement of existing church members. These continue to be widely reported, affecting both small and large churches, and seen across multiple denominations. They include:

In contrast, St. Mary’s onsite Sunday weekly attendance during October was 90% rising to almost to 100% when we include the weekly midweek communion, and to over 100% when taking into account online services (these figures exclude Messy Church which has not resumed).

Our Sunday attendance comprised on average 14 children (0-16’s) representing 18% of our usual Sunday attendance (uSa). It is sobering to reflect on figures from the Church of England in 2018, that 32% churches reported having no 0-16’s, and 71% of these reported having 5 or fewer 0-16’s. Later statistics also show that under 16’s are not distributed evenly across the Church. 44% of all 0-16’s are to be found in only 6.4% of churches and parishes. It is likely that these figures have further deteriorated as a result of the pandemic.

For reference, St. Mary’s electoral roll figures for the last decade are as follows:

Electoral Roll 108 107 107 110 109 112 122 117 111 113

There are many encouragements we can take from these figures and they are testament to the church members who serve faithfully to enable Sundays to be a genuine encounter with God – be that through leading our worship, musically or in other ways; serving in our children’s and youth ministries; supporting the services through AV; serving on our Welcome and Hospitality Teams; working to decorate and clean the church. All these are vital ministries and integral to what we offer, Sunday by Sunday.

It is likely that the three focus areas identified in 2022 will remain a focus into 2023. Of particular note is the need to invest more heavily in the strengthening and growing our existing Connect Group structure, as this is key to the spiritual health of the church, and in providing pastoral care to church members.

On the horizon there is also the exciting prospect of the construction of our children’s cabin. This is a crucial new resource, that will provide urgently needed extra space for our children’s and youth ministry to flourish in the coming years, until we realise our vision to build a dedicated children and youth centre.

It will also be vital that we refocus our missional outlook, rebuilding various existing outward looking ministries, as well as establishing new ministries that align with a renewed church vision. Defining a new vision is an area requiring urgent attention in the coming year.

Over the last year, we have tried to promote community life and pastoral support in whatever ways we could, with the resources available to us. Singing For Fun is now back to full strength, and our monthly Tuesday Lunch Club is operating well. Our Clergy and Pastoral teams try to maintain contact with church members who are unable to attend Sunday worship, or who are not members of a connect group; regular pastoral letters have been sent to the church family; Mother’s Day flowers were distributed, and a Father’s Day gift given to the men of the church. Men’s Curry Nights and the Ladies Christmas Meal also resumed this year.

In addition we have tried to maintain a missional and outwards looking focus: this has included prayerfully and financially supporting our global mission partners; supporting the work of our local partners Rahab and Yeldall Manor ; maintaining the profile of our Readifood food collection point and delivery of collected items to the central foodbank in Reading town centre; editing and distributing our monthly Purley Parish News ; offering a Community Memorial Service and leading the Remembrance Sunday Service at the Memorial Hall during November.

With all the ups and downs of the previous years and ongoing changes to what has been permitted to take place within the church building itself, special thanks are due to our Churchwardens who have taken on a large workload, including having oversight for the smooth running of in-person Sunday services and the additional health and safety requirements as a result of the pandemic. The effective running of St. Mary’s church is also dependent on the effort and work of various teams, including our dedicated Finance Team and a newly formed Safeguarding Team.

Again in this last year we have been served well by our Buildings Team who quietly and efficiently maintain our buildings to a high standard, through the ongoing and necessary task of monitoring the buildings and carrying out essential repair works. The five yearly, quinquennial inspection was completed in January, concluding the church building is in “ good condition” , only requiring a few specific items of work to be completed in the short and medium term.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS

Finance Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

Overview

The financial year 2022 ended in an overall deficit of £15,740, (2021 surplus of £2,751) taking restricted and unrestricted funds together. £9,449 of this was because of timing differences between receipts of restricted funds for the children’s cabin in 2021 and deployment of this funding in 2022. The fact that so much of our income comes from giving, 95% in 2022 (97% in 2021), stands us in good stead, and we are so grateful for the generous and faithful stewardship of our church family.

The key financial position is that of general unrestricted funds. For the third time in the last six years, there was more expenditure than income receipts and the general unrestricted fund fell by £7,287 (£7,719 in 2021). This was an expected position, with the early forecasts pointing to this outcome.

Overall unrestricted income fell by 4.5% on a like for like basis (2.5% in 2021), and unrestricted donations dropped by the same percentage (they grew by 0.76% in 2021). Unrestricted expenditure was £93,118 (2021: £97,555) and was 4.55% lower than in 2021. (2021 also saw a fall of 2.9%).

It has been another challenging year in many ways, the finances continue to be difficult to manage, but the emphasis we place on regular giving has enabled us to continue to weather the storm of post COVID times and the cost-of-living increases. We give thanks to God. God is faithful . (Genesis 22:14 Jehovah Jireh; The Lord will provide)

General Fund

Receipts

Regular unrestricted and planned stewardship decreased by 1.12% to £63,814 (2021 saw an increase of 1.24% to £64,534). The graph below shows the trend in regular unrestricted and planned giving (yellow line); regular giving has flat lined after a slow post 2018 decline and we must continue to place greater focus on this area. The gift day in December 2022 and continued emphasis and teaching on regular giving has resulted in two new regular givers so far, however we have also seen movements the other way, so we need to continue to focus on this. An interesting fact is that unrestricted regular giving has increased by 20% since 2014, however in the same time period inflation has reduced the value of giving by 22.4%, so £10 given in 2014 and never reviewed is now only worth £7.75, an excellent reminder to regularly review personal giving in light of pay and pension inflation rises.

Online and contactless giving continues to increase and to supplement service collections. Income tax receipts up to October 2022 amounted to £16,273 compared to £18,629 in 2021.

Lettings income recommenced in 2022, after zero income from lettings in 2021, wholly due to the closure of the church under the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. Thanks go to Fran Jones who administers this area of income.

Net income from fees shows a loss due to our cash based reporting. Some funeral directors are far slower than others to pay their fees and an amount of circa £700 was outstanding at the end of December 2022 with only half of this having been received to date.

Net income from the Purley Parish News continues to show a loss. In 2021 this was largely because subscribers were offered the opportunity to pay for a reduced two-year subscription in 2020. 86% of subscribers took up that offer. 2022 has seen a continued reduction in advertising income. Much work will be required to grow the advertising income once more and to grow the number of subscribers which has fallen from over 700 to circa 550.

Fund raising income was five times higher in 2022 than in 2021 due to the slow post COVID return in 2021. The majority of this was due to Village Concerts, which has returned with vigour. Thanks go to the team who put these events on. St Mary’s receives 20% of profits and all bar profits.

Restricted fund total receipts in 2022 amounted to £2,784 (£11,427 in 2021). Giving in this area was wholly targeted at youth/children’s work with a key focus being the purchase of a cabin for children and young people.

We received a one off energy grant from Oxford Diocese in 2022 of £708 to help with energy costs.

Payments

The total unrestricted payments for 2022 amounted to £93,118 (2021 £97,555), 4.55% lower. This reflects the fact that we despite restarting in-person services, we are yet to increase activity on mission and outreach, although we did purchase bibles for year 6 at Purley Primary School for the fourth consecutive year at a cost of £188.

Our largest area of expenditure, the Parish share, continued to dominate. It remained broadly the same amount. Once again, St Mary’s paid it in full. The agreed Diocesan parish share is reported in the accounts. This agreed Diocesan parish share is reduced at the Deanery level, with other Deanery parishes funding the Area Dean role which is seen as a shared post. This role is currently performed by David Archer who requested that the difference between the gross parish share and the net parish share is retained and used to help offset the St Mary’s Curate rental costs. Designated fund accounting has once again been actioned and a surplus of £996 was made on this unrestricted designated fund, with the balance being retained to help fund future years.

Mission giving was £8,319 (2021 £10,490). The PCC policy is to donate 10% of our stewardship giving to our selected mission partners. What a privilege it is to be able to give to others from our plenty and to sow into the Lord’s work in the UK and overseas.

Expenditure on utilities and cleaning increased to £7,794 (2021 £5,180). Utility costs (electricity) started to rise in October 2021 and have not stopped since. Electricity costs have more than doubled in 12 months. St Mary’s energy is purchased through the Parish Buying Scheme to try and achieve the most cost-effective rates. A refund of electricity costs is outstanding due to estimated bills being charged and actual usage being much lower. A system of monthly meter readings is required, or a smart meter installed.

Repairs and maintenance costs have increased by 13% to £1,898 (2021 £1,678). The costs of repairs to the sewage pump continue to be a concern and all are reminded to ensure that wet wipes are not placed in the toilets.

A significant investment of over £11,000 was made in the children’s cabin in 2022 with continued expenditure into 2023. We pray this will be a fruitful resource in the coming years, until we can restart the building project.

Stationery, computing, publicity, and photocopier costs were still high at £4,045. £2,728 of this was contractual costs for the photocopier. Little use is made of this expensive resource and the PCC has agreed to return the machine at the end of May, in an effort to save cost. £458 was the cost of the online financial ledger, and 2022 saw the introduction of the Churchsuite database which will assist with meeting GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) and managing rotas and contact details. The remainder was for Zoom, the website and publicity.

The balance sheet reports balances on the general fund of £14,110 as at 31 December 2022, £8,338 on the designated fund and £21,868 in restricted funds. PCC has an agreed reserves policy of retaining circa 3 months of expenditure in case of need. We are now short of achieving that and will need to work hard to deliver a balanced budget and financial position during 2023.

We all need to keep a close eye on our giving. If we stand and worship an almighty and loving heavenly Father, who gives us so much, we need to respond (Lamentations 3:21-25).

Building Fund

Since 2013 we have spent over £44,000 on concept designs, professional fees, legal advice and feasibility studies. A further late payment of £1,146 took place in 2022. We now need to take stock and re-focus post COVID-19 to finalise the vision and to get this exciting project over the line.

Future

The PCC has agreed a broad breakeven operational budget for 2023, but will be focussing on increasing and encouraging more giving alongside reviewing expenditure.

2022 has once again been a challenging year but there have been ongoing glimpses of God’s favour through the generosity and financial faithfulness of our church family. Our hope is that God’s favour would continue to be on us, as we seek to grow the numbers searching for and turning towards God in our community.

Thanks go to the banking team, to Anna Saverton in her role supporting the Treasurer, the finance team, to Anne Bolland for her work on the funerals register and fees, and to the independent examiner for his efforts in providing the examination of the accounts.
