MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

Trustees’ Annual Report 2020

Establishment

The parish of Ipswich St John the Baptist with St Andrew was established on 1[st] April 2019; it incorporates the previously separate parishes of St John the Baptist and St Andrew Ipswich.

The working name of the parish of Ipswich St John the Baptist with St Andrew is ‘Mission Ipswich East’; this is the name that will be used in the rest of this report.

Objectives and activities

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical [PCC (powers) Measure 1956 Section 2].

Public Benefit

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance to charities on the advancement of religion.

The primary purpose of Mission Ipswich East (MIE) is the advancement of the Christian religion. The public benefit requirement is fulfilled through a range of activities, including:

Particular activities carried out in 2020 are detailed below.

Achievements and performance

Impact of COVID 19

The arrival of Coronavirus in the UK in early 2020 had a significant impact on every aspect of life and it very quickly became clear that the church would need to adapt. From March onwards the MIE Standing Committee met regularly, as often as once a week, to be able to promptly react to the latest directives from the UK government and the CofE and to plan and take action to keep the purpose of MIE alive.

Within a week of Church services having to close we were able to launch our first Online Service on YouTube (particular thanks are due to Henry and Jonathan Kent for their part in this). As soon as it was permitted to open the church for prayer we put the processes in place to do so and later when services at church were allowed to resume we seized that opportunity and moved to livestreaming our services for those shielding and unable to attend.

Another initiative begun almost as soon as the first lockdown was announced was a very much increased presence on Facebook with daily 15 minute video slots providing contact and encouragement. Regular weekend quizzes were run over Zoom and many home groups moved to meeting over Zoom often meeting weekly to support each other.

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

Our Vicar, Mark Prentice, began a series of video talks that were posted to the MIE web site, along with many more articles for the church to engage in and regular updates by email.

At the start of 2020 the church had begun reading the Bible in a Year with the readings for each day available on the Web Site. Every month there would be a Breakfast meeting which then moved to Zoom.

From the outset a list of those with no internet access was compiled and everyone was provided with a buddy to ensure that they would be kept informed.

Worship, prayer and fellowship

The worshipping life of MIE has continued in a variety of formats during the last year. We have continued to meet 'in person' whenever restrictions have allowed, while LiveStreaming the service for those who have been shielding, or who feel uncomfortable coming to our buildings. We have continued to meet in homegroups and prayer groups via Zoom, along with running Alpha, Christianity Explored and Discipleship Explored online.

We have been restricted in the number of services we have been able to run, and are dependent on Tower Hall's availability to meet at Bixley Farm. We owe a debt of gratitude to our ministry team, musicians and technical team for their flexibility and hard work making the service available, and enabling so many in our congregations to stay connected to the life of the Church throughout the last year.

Evangelism

We started January 2020 by running 2 Alpha courses one at St Andrew’s church and one at St Johns primary School aimed at reaching out to the parents of the pupils there. There was another couple of Alpha courses being run independently by members of the congregation for friends and groups that they were connected with. In February we offered valentine cards for all at MIE with the intention that these would be given sharing God's love and letting people know that they are loved by God. A planned prayer walk aiming to reach out across Ipswich through prayer was postponed due to Covid.

As the worldwide pandemic struck we completed some training and looked to moving Alpha online. The online format worked well (running 2 Alphas in the Summer and a further 2 in the Autumn Term) and several people have continued to meet. Alpha courses were followed up with Christianity Explored and Discipleship Explored courses. We have also encouraged congregation members to be involved with The Word One to One – sharing the Gospel of John with a friend or contact on a one to one basis.

We have been increasing our social media presence over the last year. Initially with a weekday daily blog in which many members of MIE went live to give a reflection. This later developed into a twice weekly series of talks

As Christmas approached we sought to find new ways to engage with our community over the time of Covid. We recorded 12 tips of Christmas which we put onto the MIE website to equip and encourage people to reach out evangelistically over the Christmas period. At Christmas many people knitted angels which were given out to contacts – along with an invitation to our online Christmas services. We also sent a Christmas card to each house in our Parish with a few words written by Mark Prentice and again an invite to Christmas events including the online Carol concert, usually a time where many could bring a non Christian friend too. We encouraged people to join in with Doorstep Carols as we couldn't gather to go carolling around the parish as per usual tradition. The Taste cafe were unable to hold their Christmas service so instead placed the story of Christmas in their window for all to see as they passed by.

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

Although 2020 meant we had to change the way we did things, there was still a strong focus on Evangelism at MIE. With thanks to all the volunteers who have helped support all of the above.

Pastoral

Pastoral care is an important aspect of the mission of the church. MIE is fortunate to have a dedicated team of elders who undertake prayer and regular contacting of members of the congregations. At the outbreak the Elders contacted those people in particular who perhaps fell outside of the normal support of home groups etc., and those who perhaps had a more ‘tenuous’ link with MIE. They received positive feedback from those who were appreciative of their call with requests to hold them in our prayers.

One of the roles that fall within the remit of Elders is to assist in Holy Communion but also to take Holy Communion to those who are housebound, in hospital or in care homes; this sadly has not been possible of course but we have been able to maintain that contact and link which is often long term. We have managed to keep contact with the residents of ‘Jeian Care Home’ in which we shared a regular monthly service before lockdown, and were able, with the cooperation of staff, to sing carols at Christmas through the patio doors. Elders in MIE continue to come alongside those whom they have been keeping a watchful eye over along with so many in our church who have shown genuine concern and practical pastoral care for each other and to those outside the church.

Global mission

MIE continues to play an active role as part of the Global Church, being connected with individuals and organisations involved in a range of ministries in the UK, Asia and Africa. In spite of the restrictions, some of our mission partners were able to be with us in person and others have contributed to Global Church services via video. In addition, MIE took part again in the TearFund Big Quiz – this year an online event. The Global Church Group allocates grants on behalf of the PCC, leads the planning for Global Church Sundays and other events, and encourages prayer for our link people and individuals.

Children and Youth

Up until March 2020 we continued our usual Messy Church events, toddler groups, Sunday and midweek groups.

As people were confined to their homes during lock down, we concentrated on keeping in touch with families, encouraging them to find ways to learn about Jesus together at home, and supporting them with phone calls, zoom groups, quizzes, Facebook encouragements and the occasional video of puppets doing silly things. Over the year we have sent out packs for children to participate in the events we usually hold during the year. In the same ways (keeping in touch, sending out activity packs) contact was maintained with Cruisers and Messy Church families.

The summer holiday club normally run at St Andrews was not deterred and run online instead.

When we were able to meet again in church we started children’s notes in the services, and then children’s groups in the building. Sadly this did not last long before lockdown began again. So we have started zoom groups on a Sunday morning, and keep sending out ideas for families to worship at home together.

Throughout the year we have continued to offer Open The Book assemblies at Sidegate Lane Primary School and St John’s Primary School. Since September, these have been prerecorded and sent in remotely but we are encouraged that the schools are still sharing the stories with their children, both in school and online.

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

COVID saw all the youth groups move online within two weeks of the first lockdown, with an exception of the Sunday morning group for 11-14s. The outreach club continued online until the summer holidays, but has been unable to start again under COVID regulations. The youth homegroups have continued, online or in person under the leadership of our paid Youth Minister. Both of them have seen an increase in attendance since last March, not only with regularity in attendance, but also several young people joining/rejoining who had been on the fringe of youth/church activities.

MIE had intended to take many of our 11-14s to Contagious, this however was cancelled and in the temporary regulations instituted for the summer holidays, we were able to have a streamed Keswick Convention at Church four day holiday club. While no replacement for the camp experience, it was nevertheless a highly valuable time where the young people grew closer to God, each other, and in their understanding of Church. This has proven helpful in enabling the young people to engage in Church Services with their families, with the support of Sermon Note Sheet clipboards being available in the service, more sermon notebooks given to the 11-14's, and at the end of the year, was decided would be supplemented with post sermon 'Sunday Lunch discussion points' emails for parents, which have been well received.

The closing of two groups and associated practicalities has freed up resources to channel into considerable growth in the young people meeting up one-to-one with a member of the Youth Team, not only in numbers, but also frequency, and most of all spiritually. In the first Lockdown, many took the opportunity to meet weekly, prompting considerable spiritual growth. This has become the primary means of discipling young people, with programmatic ministry taking a supporting role, and being much more effective for it.

Clubs for the elderly

Lunch Club at St John’s ran as normal during January and February and then with hot meal delivery for the last two weeks in March before regrettably ceasing in order to keep our members safe.

However some of the volunteer helpers, drivers and cooks have kept in touch with members regularly through phoning. There have also been regular mailings of letters, prayer and hymn selections, exercise sheet, dietary advice, quizzes and cards for birthdays. Christmas goodie bags were distributed to members by many of the willing volunteers which was a chance to see them personally.

When restrictions allowed Leisure Club met together four times during the pandemic. The team are continuing to keep in regular contact with members via phone calls, cards, quizzes and the delivery of a cream tea in the summer. At Christmas we delivered gifts too. We have all valued the contact we have had with our members, as I believe they have too. We pray that we have shown something of God’s love in these difficult times.

Janet Damant has been phoning Drop In members weekly throughout the pandemic, which has been much appreciated. Janet also delivered gifts at Christmas.

Taste Café

The Taste Community Cafe provides a welcome and friendly location in our community where we can create and strengthen relationships with those who may not choose to enter a church setting.

The last year has been a challenging and frustrating year coping with the many challenges thrown up by Covid and having little opportunity to engage with the community at a time when need is great. The team look forward to welcoming guests as soon as we are permitted.

Taste operates as part of MIE while inducing members of other churches as volunteers.

Pop-up Shop

At the end of November the church started a Pop-up shop to help people in financial difficulty. Food is purchased from FareShare and added to by donations and anyone can turn up to purchase a bag of food and essentials for £2. In the short time that the shop has been running we have seen an ever increasing demand. It has been good both to serve those in need and to invite people into the church.

Volunteers

The work of the church is supported by a very large number of volunteers who fulfil a wide range of roles to whom we give our thanks. Without their support we wouldn’t be able to function.

Safeguarding

The safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults remain a priority for MIE; Elisabeth Jeyasingh and Dominic Nasmyth-Miller (Parish Safeguarding Officers) and Liz Constance (Administrator) have continued to ensure that the safeguarding training and procedures introduced by the Diocese are followed.

General maintenance

During any year there are many things that need to be done to maintain the buildings and equipment used by MIE. From the start of the pandemic all non-urgent work was put on hold. Major work undertaken during 2020 is set out below in the Financial review.

Management of Risk

In order to strengthen its management of overall risk the PCC has established a Governance Committee; this is tasked with reviewing regulations from the Charity Commission, and advising the PCC on appropriate improvements to policies and procedures.

Financial review

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)’ second edition published in October 2019.

Giving

The church is dependent on gifts from church members to maintain its ministry. In 2020 giving to the regular work of the church has increased by £3,522 (1.5%) to £234,748 (including reclaimed tax)

Other restricted gifts totalling £5,717 were also received:

Mission Support Fund £3,553
Taste Café £2,164

General Fund

Total income for the regular work of the church was £252,149 (- £14,388). Planned giving held up remarkably well despite the impact of COVID with income from giving and donations increasing by £3,500 on 2019. Unsurprisingly Income from church activities and other trading activities fell sharply to £17023 from £24,856 as the church premises had to stay closed for most of the year.

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

Expenditure was £253,746 (- £27,841). Again the main reason for this was the impact of COVID.

Significant increases in expenditure compared to 2019 were:

Significant reductions were:

A total of £10,500 was transferred from the General Fund to the Fabric, Equipment and Organ Funds(+ £1,500). £1,100 was transferred from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund(- £8,600) reflecting a small increase in the General Fund expenditure budget for 2021.

Overall the operational deficit decreased by £19,836 to £13,036. In order to maintain an end of year cash balance of £12,000 a transfer of £12,452 from the unrestricted Development Fund was made at the end of the year.

Taste Café

The Taste Café made an operating profit of £2,878 on a very reduced turnover of £6,282 (including gifts of £2,320) but helped by Government COVID grants of £11,334.

Clubs for the children and the elderly

The St Andrew’s Drop-in and Leisure Clubs made a small gain on their regular operation of £37 as compared to a loss of £370 after transfers of £1300 to the General Fund in 2019.

The St John’s Lunch Club contributed a profit of £553 to the General Fund.

Tiddlers (St John’s) and Little Lambs (Bixley Farm) contributed profits of £89 and £115 to the General Fund.

Crus and Cruizers covered their costs from subs.

Global Mission

A total of £38,980 was given to support global mission, of which £35,427 was contributed by the General Fund, and £3,553 from the Mission Support Fund. The balance of this fund has increased to £3,340.

Fabric and equipment

A total of £1,683, including purchase of fixed assets, was spent from the following funds:

Fabric Equipment Organ (St John)

The most significant costs are shown below; full details are shown in the notes to the accounts.

St Andrew’s

St John’s

Reserves

The PCC holds reserves in a number of designated funds for fabric, equipment replacement and future development. In 2020 the balance of these funds reduced by £2665 to £94,092.

A separate Reserve Fund is also held in accordance with the reserves policy (see below). £1,100 was transferred to this fund, to increase the balance to £36,300.

Cash position

At the end of 2020 the value of net current assets stood at £155,530. The cash balance reduced over the year by £379 to £156,568 of which £507 was restricted.

Investment policy

Funds over and above day to day needs are held in business savings accounts. For major banks which are subject to the Bank of England stress tests there is no limit on the amounts deposited; for other banks the amount deposited is limited to that covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Reserves Policy

Funds are transferred each year from the General Fund to the Fabric and Equipment Funds in order to cover occasional larger costs. The PCC also maintains a Reserve Fund set at 1½ month’s budgeted expenditure, as a provision against any significant drop in income. A yearend cash balance of £12,000 is maintained in the General Fund to cover monthly cash flow needs. Exceptionally for 2020 the cash balance has been increased to £17,000 to cover deferred expenditure. Legacies and other large gifts are allocated to the Development Fund in order to cater for future needs.

Structure

The PCC has overall responsibility for the running of the church in partnership with the Vicar and Wardens who have specific duties laid down in statute.

The Standing Committee is elected by the PCC to conduct business between meetings of the PCC, and to advise the Vicar and Wardens.

Other committees are established by the PCC to manage aspects of the life of the church, in particular:

Ministry Team Operations Committee (St John)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31[st] December 2020

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The PCC is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs and with the Regulations “true and fair view” provisions, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Ireland (FRS102) and Charities Act 2011.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

The accounts 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 an affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the PCC.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the PCC which the PCC has decided at its discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Funds designated as invested in fixed assets for the PCC’s own use are abated in line with those assets’ annual depreciation charges in the SOFA. Designated funds remain unrestricted and may be moved to other unrestricted funds at the discretion of the PCC.

Restricted funds are revenue donations or grants which the donor has specified are to be solely used for a specific PCC activity or project.

Where funds (other than the Reserve Fund) have unspent balances, interest on their pooled investment is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis. The balance is allocated to the General Fund.

Income recognition policies

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received.

Tax refunds are recognised when the income to which they relate is received.

14

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of:

Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the PCC has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the PCC, or the PCC is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Grants are accounted for when it can be considered probable that all of the following conditions apply:

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental is due.

Interest on funds held on deposit is accounted for when receivable.

All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Donated goods and services

Donated goods are recognised as income when the PCC has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the PCC of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated goods are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the PCC which is the amount the PCC would have been willing to pay to obtain goods of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

The contribution of general volunteers is not included as income in the accounts.

Expenditure recognition policies

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

The diocesan parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due.

Fixed assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Moveable church furnishings held by the incumbent and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and inalienable moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.

15

MISSION IPSWICH EAST (PCC OF IPSWICH ST JOHN THE BAPTIST WITH ST ANDREW)

Equipment and fittings used with the church premises which are not inalienable, and with a purchase price greater than £1,000, are capitalised within the balance sheet and depreciated on a straight line basis over the following periods:

Portable and office equipment 5 years Fixtures and fittings 10 years Freehold property 20 years

No cost information is available for the land used for the St John’s car park; a value of £44,558 has been assigned based on a 1997 market valuation of the site. Land is not subject to depreciation.

Current assets

Current assets include:

Debtors are recognised at the amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rent or other income. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts.

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term deposits available at six months’ notice or less.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised at the amounts owed by the PCC at 31 December in respect of goods and services received.

Pensions

The PCC operates two defined contribution pension schemes to cover all employees:

The scheme is part of a multi-employer scheme operated by The People’s Pension, and fulfils the church’s obligations under auto-enrolment.
