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

Trustees’ Annual Report 2021

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 2021 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 continued to do so through most of 2021. The MIE Standing Committee continued to meet on a regular basis to plan and take action to keep the purpose of MIE alive. PCC meetings started again first over Zoom and towards the end of the year in person.

Worship, prayer and fellowship

The worshipping life of MIE has continued in a variety of formats during the last year. We have met 'in person' whenever restrictions and our Risk Assessment have allowed us to do so safely, while Live Streaming the service for those who have been continuing to shield, or who have felt uncomfortable coming into our buildings in person.

During the last term of the year we have seen an increasing percentage of our congregation physically returning to our services.

We have continued to meet in home groups and prayer groups and in special one-day / one off events, again utilizing a mixed economy approach on a case by case basis; whilst running Christianity Explored online. We have been restricted to running the principal services at St

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

John the Baptist, St Andrew and Bixley Farm due to capacity, but hope to see other services re-launched in 2022. We owe a debt of gratitude to our ministry team, musicians and technical team for their flexibility and hard work making the service available in a variety of formats, and enabling so many in our congregations to stay connected to the life of the Church throughout the last year.

Evangelism

We started 2021 in another lockdown due to the pandemic however we managed to run online courses including Christianity Explored and facilitating other small groups to meet online. We continued to look at ways to connect through social media and again using the outside of the church buildings to provide Valentine’s blessings for people to pick up containing a knitted heart and a Bible verse.

In February the mission that we were preparing was postponed however we were joined for a very inspiring morning of training led by Rico Tice in anticipation for the mission to be held in 2022.

As we began to come out of lockdown we felt called to begin something new in the Taste cafe and after consideration we have started a small service at the Taste Café which is run by the church, allowing people to take part in a craft, to pray and reflect.

Dawn and Tracey planned a boundary walk around Ipswich which happened to fall on one of the hottest days of the year but we walked over 20 miles in a day, around the boundary of Ipswich praying for the town having been sent out from MIE in prayer.

In the summer we started a Mission Ipswich East Running group, as another way to reach out to the community. We completed training to become running group leaders and invited runners and non-runners, and church and non-church people to come along. This has been going well with a mix of people who are getting physically fitter and hearing a Bible message each week.

We have also encouraged the whole church to be involved with Evangelism by running a Lent course and a Church Army course called Faith Pictures over the summer.

In the Autumn we decided to re launch E squad as a way of forming a group of people specifically interested in being part of the Evangelism at MIE and are undergoing monthly training together as a way of focusing our attention to this.

As a staff team we have worked together on some joint projects including completing our Growing leaders training, the Living in love and faith course and doing an Easter trail around the parish.

Late Autumn saw the Evangelism hours increase which will lead to new opportunities for MIE.

This year we encouraged people to join in with Doorstep Carols connecting with your own neighbours as an alternative to carolling around the parish as per usual tradition. The year finished with a very well attended carols in the car park over at Bixley Farm Church and we should like to build on that going forward.

Although 2021 again 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 Elders suffered, along with many others, the effects of the pandemic. Visiting especially was a challenge especially those in hospital and care. The closure of Jeian Residential came as a blow, as we were not able to follow up on those with whom we had formed a good relationship but at least we were able to keep in touch up to the time of

2

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

closure through a monthly letter and treats. Throughout the year Elders have continued giving ongoing support to others, sharing with them the grace and love of Jesus. Like many others in the church we pray that things will ease or we will perhaps learn to live with the pandemic, but one thing is certain: ‘Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.’ Lamentations 3 :22

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. 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

Sunday Club group at St Andrews continued to meet every Sunday morning on Zoom until May when we started meeting again at church. The children engaged well through Zoom and it was encouraging to see them growing in faith during this time. The established group continue to join us on Sunday morning at church.

Cruizers (Years 3-6)

The leaders continued to pray and find ways to keep in touch with all the children from Sunday Club and Cruizers with deliveries of materials through letterboxes, emails and packs to pick up from church. We held a special one off Cruizers evening at the end of the summer term for the year 6 children so that we could see them all and support them in their transition to high school.

Cruizers restarted in September with the start of the Autumn term and our theme for the term was Psalms. This was an opportunity explore several psalms and think about how we can talk to God and worship him through the Psalms.

Looking forward, 2022 will be the 20th year of Cruizers and a time to give thanks to God for the many children with whom we have shared God’s love.

2021 has been a year of mixed economy in our children and families work.

Sunday groups and Connect have been running most weeks during term time sometimes on zoom and sometimes in person, depending on the covid restrictions. Likewise with Messy Church.

Our schools work has also been affected by Covid restrictions. We have managed a few in person Open the book assemblies in St John’s and Sidegate along with recorded assemblies which we sent in when we were unable to go in person. We also managed to put on the Christmas and Easter journeys in church with extra precautions.

In the summer Tiddlers was able to restart outside with restricted numbers and then as normal from September. Numbers quickly returned to pre-covid levels!

Holiday clubs also ran at St Johns’s and St Andrew’s during the Summer holidays.

Throughout the summer term last year, youth groups gradually restarted in person, albeit with many COVID restrictions in place. Very few young people had booked on camps last summer -in the end, the unexpected extension of COVID restrictions for secondary age pupils meant that all camps the young people had booked onto were cancelled. There was however, freedom for family summer holidays, which meant we were unable to organise any at home alternative or summer programme as young people were all away at different times.

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

With the start of the new academic year, and the weighting of youth demographics shifting considerably, it became clear that for this year a third youth group was needed. Fuel spanning four years had always been awkward with the minority end of the age group (whichever way it fell) often choosing not to attend. Time seemed ripe for a rebrand, and so Beta became Pathfinders (still 11-14) the new group was christened Trekkers (15-16, taking the Thursday night slot that had been previously occupied by Cru) and the elder group Fuel, (now just comprising of those over 17) became Marathoners. Each group has around 6-8 young people though numbers can sometimes be more and less than that.

Growing the youth team in order to accommodate a third group has been a great difficulty, but Trekkers now has it's own Youth Team. The Pandemic severely hit the Fuel team though, and currently it's still run on a weekly basis by the vicar and youth worker. Youth attendance in the main service has continued to grow, with a knot of young people at the back of church now a staple at the end of Sunday services.

Clubs for the elderly

Lunch Club at St John’s was not able to meet during the first half of 2021 but in August it was possible to invite members to a tea and then September saw a return to weekly lunches with most of our members returning. Members were very pleased to return, although many had suffered physically and mentally due to isolation. We successfully ran through to Christmas with 27 wonderful volunteers (cooks, helpers and drivers) who have been responsible for providing nourishing meals, company and support for the 37 members. In return the members give us the chance to get to know them and pray for them as they enrich our lives.

We have been able to provide exercise sessions, talks on the solar system (and beyond), accompanied sing-a-long, solo singing by talented people and talks on Ipswich, Advent and Christmas.

Following Covid restrictions easing in May last year, Leisure Club began meeting again in two groups of six, in different areas of the building. Even with all the Covid rules, members were very keen to meet up again, having spent so much time on their own during lockdown. During the autumn term we able to meet all together and share food. We just managed to fit in our Christmas Lunch with carols sung by the team and entertainment by The Ukulele Band before Covid infections increased significantly.

At the beginning of the pandemic we had 17 members; we now have 8. We still have a committed and enthusiastic team of volunteers and resources to match but we need to increase our numbers, if we are to continue this ministry. We believe there are many socially isolated older people living in our community, who could benefit from what we have to offer. Please pray for the future of this ministry.

Drop In remained closed with just a few gifts being given 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.

After being closed due to COVID for most of 2020 and the start of 2021 the Cafe was finally able to reopen on 24[th] May 2021. The cafe has provided a meeting place for the MIE connect group.

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

Pop-up Shop

The Pop-up shop has provided a vital support for people in financial difficulty throughout 2021 and saved several tons of good food from going to landfill. 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. It has been good both to serve those in need and to invite people into the church, to pray with some of the families and share the gospel. From the autumn it was possible to serve coffee, tea and biscuits and many have stayed for a chat.

Coffee Space at Tower Hall

Coffee Space has been running every Friday from 2 - 3.30pm at Tower Hall since September.

We regularly have over 20 people meeting together, enjoying coffee and cake. Several members joined us at Carols on the Car park.

Coffee, Craft & Chat at St Johns

CCC re-started meeting in summer 2021, with joy to be with real people again and thankfulness to God. We’re cautious & careful to minimise Covid risks. Each person brings whatever craft or art activity they wish to work on and ideas & and advice are shared. So is laughter! It’s been especially encouraging to ‘get out of the house’ particularly for those who live alone or feel a bit low or anxious. We enjoy coffee/tea & biscuits, and we have a pause for prayer. And because so much else stops during school holidays, we usually keep meeting all year round.

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; Neil and Jennie Nield (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.

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 2021 there was an increase of £4,052 (2.2%) in planned giving and regular collections to the

5

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

regular work of the church although, due to a reduced number of one off other donations, overall giving including reclaimed tax and grants decreased by £3,948 (1.7%) to £230,800.

Other restricted gifts and grants totalling £6,144 were also received:

General Fund

Total income for the regular work of the church was £255,672 (+£3,523). Income from church activities and other trading activities started to recover rising to £23,952 from £17,023 as the church premises opened up again.

Expenditure was £259,940, an increase on 2020 (+£6,194)

Significant increases in expenditure compared to 2020 were:

A total of £10,500 was transferred from the General Fund to the Fabric, Equipment and Organ Funds, no change to 2020. £100 was transferred from the General Fund to the Reserve Fund(- £1,000) reflecting a small increase in the General Fund expenditure budget for 2022.

Overall the operational deficit increased by £2,082 to £15,118. In order to maintain the required end of year cash balance a transfer of £14,745 from the unrestricted Development Fund was made at the end of the year.

Taste Café

The Taste Café made an operating profit of £1,680 on a turnover of £9,099 (including gifts of £2,229) but helped by Government COVID grants of £4,096.

Clubs for the children and the elderly

The St Andrew’s Drop-in and Leisure Clubs made a small loss on their regular operation of £157 as compared to a gain of £37 after transfers of £200 to the General Fund in 2020.

The St John’s Lunch Club contributed a profit of £787 to the General Fund.

Tiddlers (St John’s) contributed a profit of £572 to the General Fund.

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

Reserves

The PCC holds reserves in a number of designated funds for fabric, equipment and organ replacement and future development. In 2021 the balance of these funds reduced by £6,997 to £87,095.

A separate Reserve Fund is also held in accordance with the reserves policy (see below). £100 was transferred to this fund, to increase the balance to £36,400.

Cash position

At the end of 2021 the value of net current assets stood at £150,256. The cash balance reduced over the year by £12,892 to £148,675 of which £5,309 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. At 31 December 2021 the Cash and Bank balance for the General Fund was £10,484. This was due to income in respect of the year not being received until after the year end and some expenses in respect of the year not being paid until after the year end. 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) Fabric Committee (St Andrew) Global Church Group

Designated people are responsible for their own areas of ministry under the overall supervision of the PCC.

Governance and management

The Trustees are the members of the PCC, which is the governing body of the church.

The responsibilities of the PCC include:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

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.

13

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.
