The Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of Amberley with North Stoke (the “PCC”) present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Administrative information
The Parochial Church Council of Amberley with North Stoke is a charity.
The PCC is registered with the Charities Commission with registration number 1187780.
The address of the principal office of the PCC is The New Vicarage, School Road, Amberley, Arundel, West Sussex BN18 9NA, and its website is www.amberleystmichael.org.uk.
Trustees
During the year, and to the date of this report, the following served as members of the PCC:
Priest In Charge: The Reverend Gerry Burgess Churchwardens: Mrs Melanie Edge Mr Michael Davey Members: The Reverend Gerry Burgess Chairperson Mr Stephen Burgess Mr Michael Davey Secretary Mrs Melanie Edge Health and Safety Officer and Safeguarding Officer Mr Graham Elliott Treasurer Mr Guy Leonard Deanery Synod representative Mrs Mary Leonard Deanery Synod representative and Electoral Roll Officer Mrs Glenys Rowe Mrs Rosalind Simpson
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is an incorporated body governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended). Legally the council is responsible for the financial affairs of the church parish and the maintenance of its assets, such as churches and church halls, and for promoting the mission of the church.
A PCC is the executive committee of a Church of England parish. The membership requirements for a PCC are prescribed by the Church Representation Rules and include the clergy and churchwardens of the parish, any members of the General Synod, diocesan synod or deanery synod who are on the church electoral roll of the parish, and representatives of the laity elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Parishioners are warmly encouraged to stand for election to the PCC who try to ensure a balance of skills and experience where possible.
The full PCC met six times (including the Annual Parochial Church Meeting) during the year with a high average level of attendance. The Annual Meeting of Parishioners was held on 26 September 2020.
At the year-end, there were 68 parishioners on the church electoral roll (2019 – 68).
Aim and purposes
The primary aim of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Priest in Charge, the Reverend Gerry Burgess, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Objectives and Activities
The PCC:
-
is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our community at St Michael church.
-
seeks to build contacts with families through occasional special services and events and regularly hold services for children who attend Amberley Primary School and their parents.
-
runs courses which enable church members and others to learn more about Christianity and deepen their faith.
-
through the Parish Engagement Group and informally, aims to engage with the wider community, and particularly with those who may feel isolated in any way.
-
supports those in need by pastoral care within the village community and, more widely, is active in supporting several charitable organisations in practical ways and by donations from specific collections.
-
is responsible for the operation and maintenance of St Michael’s church, a building which is much loved and visited. We aim to make the Church a welcoming place for quiet and prayer as well as a centre for concerts and other activities. We also provide information for visitors interested in the history of the building, which is of twelfth century origin and Grade I listed.
The PCC fully recognises its obligations with regard to the House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults and has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016.
The members of the PCC confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Achievements and Performance
a) Attendance at worship
During 2020, the coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic affected all aspects of church life. In person services were suspended under government regulations from March until the start of July, and again during November. For much of this time the church building was closed completely. Church life migrated swiftly online, and the provision of a weekly email for the benefice with prayers and reflection has reached a considerably wider number than our usual congregation. Service provision was limited at first to short videos linked to the weekly email, but from November it was possible to live stream services. The uptake across Facebook and YouTube suggests viewing figures for these services, live or recorded, averaged approximately 60 per week.
From July to early November, we were able to hold services, which started when government regulations were relaxed. Some of these services were held outside in the churchyard but most of them were held in the church building which was adapted to be a Covid-19 secure environment. Attendance at Sunday services and midweek Morning Prayer recovered to pre-pandemic levels or higher during these months albeit with fewer visitors and more local people. One more informal service which proved popular was the Pet Blessing service, held on the village green.
Harvest Festival was well attended and the short Remembrance Sunday service, held outside at the churchyard War Memorial in line with regulations ruling at the time, was witnessed by some 50 well distanced people.
In person church services at Christmas were limited by Covid-19 concerns and numbers were much lower than usual, however the carol service held in the churchyard proved particularly popular. The online Christmas Day service was much appreciated. One person commented: ‘ I watched the video of your Christmas morning Service at Amberley. It really was lovely, and I was so sorry not to be able to attend it in person. It brought home to me afresh the big messages of the Christmas story, and I was very grateful.’

Annual Report of the Trustees (continued)
This year only one school service was held in the church, the school leavers’ service in July, but contact was maintained by the Priest in Charge through class worship and the year ended with an interactive Christmas service for the whole school delivered by Zoom.
Sadly, the usual joyful weddings and baptisms were all postponed. Funerals and memorial services continued, some of them well attended but others constrained to very restricted numbers at the graveside, but with the hope of a thanksgiving service later on.
b) Teaching, baptising and nurturing new and existing believers
Although there were no baptisms held during 2020 and activities for families were limited, we were able to support our village school in a number of ways. As the first lockdown began in March, Easter packs were given to all of the children, which included a palm cross, an Easter story booklet and an Easter egg. An Easter garden competition encouraged families to reflect on the Easter story through creating and displaying it for passers-by to enjoy. In the autumn, a trail around the churches of the benefice encouraged families to look closely at the buildings and their surroundings.
For adults there were several study groups across the year, including the Bible Course in spring up until lockdown and an Advent course by Zoom. Materials were also provided to encourage prayer and Bible reading at home, especially during times of lockdown.
Midweek Morning Prayer has continued whenever possible, meeting outside over the summer, and in church or on Zoom at other times. The outdoor meetings were particularly well attended. It has been good to join together to pray for individuals and local concerns as well as for the nation and the world during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
c) Evangelism and outreach
The Parish Engagement Group (“PEG”) has continued to seek ways of serving the community and building links with those who may be at a disadvantage in any way. The CAMEO group, established as a monthly informal meeting for friendship, particularly for older residents or those who might feel isolated, has also been a valuable support network. An outdoor cream tea was a welcome opportunity to socialise during the respite from lockdowns, but contact was maintained individually even whilst meetings were not possible.
The PEG was involved with a number of activities linking the church and the wider community during the year. Some of these included an element of fundraising but they were primarily held as bridgebuilding social events. Despite the limitations, there was a well-supported outdoor picnic concert and an ‘Amberley Revival’ classic cars event, as well as some smaller scale activities. The hugely popular Christmas Eve procession was replaced for 2020 by a motorcade of nativity characters though the village and an atmospheric nativity tableau set up in a farmyard over Christmas.
d) Provision of the church building for people to enjoy
St. Michael’s church continues to be a place appreciated for its peace and quiet with a well-used prayer corner: that has been especially valued during the anxious times of 2020. Once it had been made Covid-19 secure, the church was open daily as permitted by government regulations for private prayer and for visitors, even before services could resume.
The churchyard, with its recently developed and well-tended wildflower area, has been an attractive and peaceful haven for villagers and visitors alike particularly in the summer, as well as being the setting for a number of services and a memorable outdoor concert.
e) Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish
The Priest in Charge and members of the church normally visit and keep an eye on a number of elderly and vulnerable members of the community and those recently bereaved. When this was not possible during the year, contact was maintained by phone calls and occasional gifts of cards, flowers and Christmas cakes co-ordinated by CAMEO helpers.

Annual Report of the Trustees (continued)
During 2020, pastoral support provided by the church was more closely coordinated with help available through Amberley Parish Council, the village Welfare Trust and the network of local community care set up during the pandemic. The Priest in Charge and others have offered listening support and advice as part of the ‘Covid hub’ provision in the village, whilst many church members have provided practical and emotional support to neighbours during this lonely time.
f) Provision of tangible support to the poor and needy
Collections of food and other items for those in need have been made through the church for Family Support Work and Home-Start, working with parents and children. We worked together with the local school to increase awareness amongst local families of the support offered by these organisations.
Financial Review
a) Results for the year
The PCC recorded a surplus for the year of £8,810, an improvement from the loss made in 2019 of £46,415 which had largely been driven by expenditure incurred on completing tower repairs.
Clearly, the finances of the PCC were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic during 2020 most particularly as a result of the suspension of services during periods of lockdown. However, and as mentioned below, the PCC was able to mitigate the impact of the resultant reduction in service collections by taking action to constrain costs where appropriate, including use of the Government sponsored staff furlough scheme during the lockdown in the second quarter of the year.
Overall, the surplus for the year in Unrestricted Funds, which largely reflects the operating and charitable activities of the church, was £2,170 (2019 – loss of £3,846).
It was very pleasing to record that total unrestricted income from all sources, including voluntary income, fund raising and income from church activities such as service provision, magazine sales and advertising, and church hall lettings rose to £51,717 from £41,513 in 2019. Within this, collection income fell substantially from £11,141 in 2019 to £4,607 in 2020, but this reduction was more than offset by:
-
An encouraging increase in regular giving by standing order or other form of bank payment
-
Significant one-off or other non-regular donations, of which some of the previous year equivalent may have been restricted for use to the tower repair project.
Expenditure from unrestricted funds for the year was £50,013 up from £46,461 in 2019.
-
The overall Diocese of Chichester finances came under heavy pressure due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. The PCC was pleased to be able to continue to meet 100% of its agreed percentage share of the contribution requested by the Diocese from the four churches of the Wildbrooks Benefice, the PCC’s share being £15,161 for the year (2019 - £13,472). This contribution is paid to cover Parish Ministry Costs which include the housing, support, stipend and pension costs of the clergy of the diocese, training of new ordinands, a contribution to national church funds and shared costs of the Christian family throughout the whole Diocese.
-
Despite the suspension of services during the lockdown in the second quarter and use of the Government staff furlough scheme, running costs of the Church remained at similar levels to the prior year as most costs continued to be incurred throughout such as cleaning, insurance and utilities.
The surplus for the year on Restricted Funds was £6,640 which mainly comprised the receipt of the last instalment of the Heritage Lottery Fund grant, the aggregate of which had contributed significantly to the funding of the tower repairs in 2018/19. The loss in Restricted Funds in 2019 was £42,569 due to some £100k of expenditure on the repair work occurring in that year offset by other instalments of grants and fundraising income.

Parochial Church Council of Amberley with North Stoke
31 December 2020
Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
1 Accounting policies
The Parochial Church Council of Amberley with North Stoke (“PCC”) is an incorporated body governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended). Legally the council is responsible for the financial affairs of the church parish and the maintenance of its assets, such as churches and church halls, and for promoting the mission of the church.
1.1 Basis of preparation of these financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The PCC has elected to apply all amendments to FRS 102, as set out in the Financial Reporting Council's triennial review published in December 2017 and included in Update Bulletin 2 to the Charities SORP (FRS 102), prior to mandatory adoption for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The PCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
No amendments arising from the implementation of this Standard have affected the Company’s previously published financial position.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the PCC has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is that incurred on undertaking the activities which further the PCC's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is shown inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Notes (continued)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when the future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the assets can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition are included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of the tangible fixed assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
-
Freehold property - 50 years
-
Office equipment - 10 years
1.5 Investments
Fixed asset investments are financial instruments and are initially recognised at their transaction cost, and subsequently measured at fair value, unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Net Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.6 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slowmoving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when there is a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the PCC anticipates it will pay to settle the obligation or the amount received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must subsequently provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
1.10 Financial instruments
Other than investments, the PCC only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.11 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the PCC and which have not been designated or otherwise restricted for use for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the PCC for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aims and uses of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
