Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From 1[st] January 2022 to 31[st] December 2022
Charity name: The Parochial church council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Peter & St John’s Rugby.
Charity registration number: 1185009
Objectives and Activities
St Peter & St John’s church council has responsibility, together with the incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical.
The church works to the Diocesan goals of ‘Worshipping God, making disciples and transforming communities and therefore all our activities are geared towards one of these goals. We hold a variety of services for worship at varying times and days, we offer groups to nurture faith and friendship and we have sought to benefit the wider parish by enhancing the accessibility and usefulness of the building which has significantly improved facilities. It is confirmed that the trustees have regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and Performance
2022 has seen a growth in many areas as we saw the lifting of pandemic restrictions from 2021. Following the decision to join with St Georges church as one benefice, it has been good to worship and pray together with our friends from that church. In September we warmly welcomed Philip as vicar of the new benefice, thus beginning a new phase of ministry both for him and the 2 churches.
The worship offered reflects a broad range of styles so that we might engage with a good crosssection of the community. The services at this church include Holy Communion, worship for families and young people (All Age services), morning prayer/worship (both during the week and monthly on Sundays) and more contemplative prayer services (Breathe and Prayer Group services). At key points of the year, such as Christmas and Easter, additional services help to highlight the story of the Christian faith. Towards the end of the year we started discussions to re-start of Messy church in 2023, so strengthening our link with families in the area.
Social activities have included such events as Christmas Fair, Quiz night, bring and share lunches. One stand out event was the cheese and wine evening we held to welcome our new vicar Phillip to our church. Home groups continue to thrive and attract new members thus strengthening our fellowship amongst members.
Our involvement with Eastlands Primary school has continued to flourish. At Christmas, the school came in for their annual Christmas turn up and take-part production. Twice a term, the school visit us for after school activities. The arrival of Philip, as our Vicar, has also led to the re-establishment of our connection with St Andrew’s Benn primary school. Philip has been in to lead assemblies which are now being formalised as a monthly, collective worship session and the school used PJs as the venue for their Christmas Carol concert.
It has been encouraging to see the hall being used by the community and we are grateful for the continuing use and interest in the facility. Regular groups have regained their momentum once again after Covid and we have various groups in each day of the week. The small meeting room is used on a regular basis throughout the month. The hiring of the church and hall as a place for concerts has also grown this year with regular bookings from the Rugby Music Union throughout the year, a new and exciting booking from the Rugby Concert Band, and requests from local music teachers to hire the venue for small concerts for their students.
Major work has been carried out on the roof as identified in the last Quinquennial inspection. There has also been an upgrade on our AV system. We were delighted to have welcomed some young people from the Princes Trust who did some work in the church garden during the spring.
The church received a substantial donation from Warwickshire County Council to make improvements to our building as a way of increasing footfall. We are delighted to have used this money to install a new kitchenette in the small meeting room and to refurbish the adjacent toilet. This has helped to make this area a standalone venue which can be hired out to the general public. We have also been able to refurbish the parquet flooring in the main hall and are planning a brand new kitchen to be installed in 2023.
With the support of the OurJay Foundation, we were also able to install a defibrillator on our building for use during medical emergencies. This is accessible to the whole community, not just those who access our building, and is again helping to place us as an important focal point in our local community.
Financial Review
Income
The total income in 2022 amounted to £59,437 on the general fund and £83,393 on designated funds. The latter included £80,000 from WCC in respect of work to be carried out in 2023 on the hall. Other donations received were for AV update and organ work to be carried out in 2023. We received 2 grants totalling £4800 towards the roof repairs included in the general fund.
Income received from donors was down on previous years (over £9000)
as a result of members ceasing to give to the church. However, it is good to report that both our fund raising and hall hire increased by about 50% on previous year.
Expenditure
The total expenditure for the year amounted to £64,846 on the general fund and £21,381 on designated fund. Repairs to the roof amounting to £26,710 & the vestry refurbishment £6,486 result in the high figures shown on major repairs/renovation.
The parish share figure of £33,500 now sees us contributing as a benefice with St Georges & this has been paid in full. Other costs are in line with previous years except administrative costs (increased by just over £1000).
The General fund shows a deficit of £5,409 for the year.
Shares included in the endowment fund have decreased in market value since 2021 by £3585 (last year there was a similar increase in value).
Designated funds now amount to £77,312 which as indicated earlier include the amount from WCC.
As shown on the Balance sheet, total assets held at 31[st] December 2022 amounted to £119,398.
It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equate to 3 months unrestricted payments, to cover any emergency that may arise. Currently this figure is around £14,000.
The balance of reserves available at 31[st] December 2022 was £42086.
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is governed by 2 Church of England measures – The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended, which defines the principle function of the PCC and the Church Representation Rules 2011 .
The charity’s constitution is an Unincorporated association
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Members are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Representatives normally serve for 3 years.
