Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Parochial Church Council of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton For the year ended 31[st] December 2021 Charity registration number: 1193760

The Parochial Church Council of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

Charity registration number: 1193760

Aims and Purposes

Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Rector, the Reverend Canon Andrew Wickens, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The parish comprises of four districts, each with its own place of worship and associated district church council (DCC) that is responsible for the maintenance of the district’s church building. The Reverend Geoffrey Eze has special responsibility for the district of All Saints, Hanley, where the DCC is also responsible for the maintenance of All Saints Church Hall, adjacent to the church. The Reverend Father Tommy Merry has taken special responsibility for the districts of Christ Church, Fenton and of St Paul’s, Mount Pleasant (until Easter 2022). The district of the Minster Church of St Peter ad Vincula rests directly under the responsibility of the Rector.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to supporting each district church welcome as many people as possible to worship and enabling them to become part of the Christian community. The PCC coordinates the activity of district church councils as they promote worship locally. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the four district churches and All Saints Church Hall.

Achievements and Performance

Since the impact of the global pandemic was first experienced in 2020, the normal activities of each of our churches have been significantly affected. Lockdowns continued in 2021 and COVID restrictions remained in place in some measure throughout the year.

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) normally takes place before the end of May each year. However, the Bishop of Lichfield granted parishes an extension to the usual deadline in view of the pandemic. Thus, the APCM took place instead at the end of October 2021. The term of office of post-holders was therefore extended for the duration. In practice, though the PCC was not able to conduct its business in 2021 as it had in before the pandemic. Although some churches have had success with video-conferencing, adapting quickly to the reality of lockdown, in the parish this had limited success. Members of the PCC did not uniformly have access to the technology. Thus an attempt was made instead to include everyone in decision taking using telephone conferencing facilities. The lack though of face to face contact proved detrimental and while decisions could be

2

taken by circulating email messages for approval, much discussion and strategic planning has had to be put on hold until such a time as the PCC can once again meet in person.

In all, the PCC met twice in 2021 to consider policy issues affecting the parish as a whole including safeguarding, finance issues as well as oversight of buildings.

Financial Review

The accounts for the parish are consolidated from the accounts of the respective district church councils as well as the team account which helps support the activities of the parish as a whole.

Each of the district churches is responsible for meeting the local costs of ministry and mission. In addition each district church council makes contributions towards central costs for the parish in administration.

Parish share is the contribution made by each church to the costs of ministry and mission across the Diocese of Lichfield. Although the benefice is one parish, it continues to receive two distinct parish share allocations. Christ Church, Fenton, which was a distinct parish until 2017, receives a parish share allocation from the Lichfield Diocesan Board of Finance (LDBF).

The other three district churches comprise what was the historic Stoke Team Ministry. The PCC accordingly receives a parish share allocation from LDBF for the historic Stoke Team each year. The PCC then reaches an agreement on the allocation of parish share amongst the district churches. Currently, this is in proportion to the allocation of stipendiary clergy across the Team.

The accounts show that despite reaching with LDBF a special assessment of £49,000 for the historic Stoke Team as a whole, the churches have continued to face difficulty meeting their financial commitments. St Paul’s, Mount Pleasant met its contribution in full. Both All Saints, Hanley and Stoke Minster have additional parish share arrears at the end of 2021.

Parish share arrears do not themselves constitute a legally enforceable debt. Were they such, the PCC would be required to take consideration of arrears in reaching a judgement as to whether it continues to be a ‘going concern.’ The PCC would clearly wish to meet its responsibilities in full but this has not been possible over the last year. It continues to review its activities in the light of financial reporting.

Risk Management

The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for child protection and work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing.

Statement on Safeguarding

The Parochial Church Council has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The Parish Safeguarding Officer, appointed in March 2021, is Mrs Dot Poggio. The Parish Safeguarding Policy was reviewed in March 2021 and is available to view at www.safeguarding.stokeminster.org. A copy is also available on display on the noticeboard of district churches.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to approximately £25,000. This is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. Free reserves at year end were -£17,593 (2020 figure £1,265). Many of the usual income streams to the parish from regular giving, collections, fundraising, lettings and statutory

3

fees were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus there was only limited fundraising income in 2021 as in 2020. There was also a shortfall in the parish share creditor of £14k.The trustees are currently looking at ways to increase income, and thus increase free reserves.

It is our policy to invest the short term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund and the remainder in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.

Climate Change and Investment Policy

The CBF Investment Fund is managed by CCLA whose statement on investment policy is outlined at www.ccla.co.uk/our-policies/climate-change-and-investment-policy – the PCC also notes the Church of England’s General Synod motion on Climate Change approved in February 2020 (see www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/news/general-synod-sets-2030-net-zero-carbontarget).

Fundraising

The PCC reports on the fundraising activities of the respective district churches in the parish. The PCC is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful. Neither the PCC or its respective district church councils has used commercial organisations or professional fundraisers.

Volunteers

The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work across our district churches in the parish to ensure that we are the welcoming, attractive and inclusive communities that the Church is called to be. Without the support of volunteers, including from those who would not consider themselves necessarily a part of the worshipping community, our churches could not serve their communities as they do.

Structure, Governance and Management

The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England (PCC Powers Measure 1956, and the Church Representation Rules 2006) and is a Charity awaiting registration with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2nd January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (CRR). A Scheme for the parish was made under CRR Rule 18 of 1 February 2018. This explains how district church councils are constituted as well as their delegated powers.

The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll as well as those elected to serve on the PCC by respective annual meetings of the four district churches. The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC as well as their respective DCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC usually meets at least 4 times a year.

The PCC of Stoke upon Trent & Fenton

Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

Accounting Policies

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements 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 their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.

There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.

Cashflow Statement

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000.

Going Concern

The accounts show that despite reaching agreement with LDBF for a special assessment of £53,379 for the historic Stoke Team as a whole, the churches have continued to face difficulty meeting their financial commitments, and the Parish Share arrears are increasing.

Parish share arrears do not themselves constitute a legally enforceable debt. Were they such, the PCC would be required to take consideration of arrears in reaching a judgement as to whether it continues to be a ‘going concern.’ The PCC would clearly wish to meet its responsibilities in full but this has not been possible over the last year. The PCC continues to review its financial position and as the restrictions imposed by the pandemic are eased, is hoping to be in a position to increase income through fundraising and bookings once more. If 65% of the Parish Share arrears were added back to the overdrawn unrestricted reserves at 31.12.2021, the amended reserves would be £28,474 surplus. If this amended figure is compared to the PCC policy in the Reserves note, then it is only slightly short of the £29,139 required, so the parish would fulfil the going concern test.

Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

Description of Funds

Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.

Restricted funds comprise of two elements :-

a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest

b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.

Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.

Income

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Governance and Support Costs

Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated and benefice property is not included from the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.

10

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.

Investments

Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.

Debtors

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash expected to be received.

Creditors and Accruals

Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

The Diocese agreed a Share package with the parish in 2016 to try to help with the arrears: If the parish had paid their share in 2016, 2017 and 2018 plus £1,035 each year by 31 December, then the Diocese would have written off £2,070 each year.

Unfortunately, as the parish hasn’t managed to meet this criteria, there are still share arrears which need to be addressed.
