AiTnS and Purposes
Sioke-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 eoumenical. The parish comprises of four districts, each with rt$
own place of worship and assoGiated district church council (t)cc) that Is responsible for the maintenance of
the district's church building. The Reverend Geoffrey Eze takes responsibilrty for the disliicl of All Saints.

church. The Reverelld Father Tommy Merry has taken responsibility for the distri¢ls of Chrlsl Church, Fenton
and of St Paul's. Mount Pleasant (urslil Easter 20221. The district of thè Minster Church of St Peter ad Vincula
iests direGlly under the responsibility of the Ractor.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to supporting each distri¢l church welcome as many people as possibte to worship
and enabling them to become part of the Christian community. The PCC coordinates the actr.vity of district
church councils as they prO￿Ote worship locally. Our services and worship put faith into praGlice IhrDugh
prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through non-sacramenlal activities of hospitality and
fellowship we aim lo serve people in the local community more broadly.
Public Beneflt
The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit- specifieally for
the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit. The trustees have had regard lo this guidance in Iheir
administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the WOTk of the Church of England in
the EcclesiastiGal Parish of Stoke-upon-Trent & Fenton il helps to promote the whole mission of the Church
(pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenicall more effectively, wthin the Ecclesiasti¢al Parish. and Ihal in
doing so it provides a bgnefil to the public by..
Providing fa¢ilities for public worship. pastoral care and spiritual. moral and intellectual development, bolh
for ils members and for anyone who wishes t? benefit from what the Church offers,. 8nd
Promoting Christian values and servio by members of the Church in and to their commLsnittes, to the
benefit of indivsdual$ and society as a whole.
To facililale this work it Is important that we maintain the fabri¢ of the four district churches and All Saints
Churth Hall.
Achievèments and Pérformance
Perhaps the main change facing the parish in the course of 2022 has come with the departure of Fr Tommy
Merry and the churches adjusting in consequence lo the reduction in stipendiary ¢lergy stafffng. Since the
parish was constituted in 2018 it has always been expected that the staffing level would normalise al
effectively 1.8 posts. It has only been during 2022 that the full impli¢atrons of this have begun lo be apparent.
In all, the PCC mel four times in the course of 2022 lineluding the inaugural meetin9 following the Annual
Parochial Church Meeting} to consider policy issues affecting the parish as a whole Including lone working,

data protection. The PCC has also considered the management of the respective church buildings in the
paflsh.
During 2022 a Special Parochial Church Meeting was al$0 called which gave the PCC authority to undertake
business on behalf ot a district church as and where the local district ¢ttufch council is in abeyance.
Risk Management
The Church Wardens carry OL¢1 regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect p￿MISeS for
potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in pla￿ for child prolects.on and work with vulnerable
adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annualty to
ensure adequate Cover. An infomial review of ally new risks which may impael the work of the ChLirch in the
Parish is ongoing.
Statement on Safeguarding
The Parochial Church Council believes that it has has fulfilled ils duty under section 5 of Ihg Safeguarding
and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops, guidanGe on
safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The post of Parish Safeguarding Officer is currently vacant and
the PCC is actively recruitillg a new postholder. The Parish Safeguarding Policy was reviewed in March 2021
and is available lo view al www.safeouafding.slokeminster.org. A ¢opy is also available on display on the
noticeboard of district churche$.
Reportlng Serious Incidents
A S8rious Incident is an 8dverse event, wheth&r aclu81 or alleged, which results in or risks signrficant harm to
the charity's beneficiaries. employees, office holdeTS, volunteers or lo others who come into contact with the
charity through ils work, loss of the charity's money or assets, damage to the charity's propety or harm lo
the charity's work or reputation.
The Iruslees have given Consideration of potential Serious Incidents and concluded that the threshold for
reporting to the Charty Commission was not mel in the last year.
Financial Review
The accounts for the parish are consolidated from the accounts of the respe¢tlve district ¢hurch councils as
well as the team account which helps support the activities of the parish as a whde.
Each of the district churches is responsible for meeting the local c051s of ministy and mission. In addition
each district church council makes contributions towards ￿ntral oosls for the parish in adminlstration.
Common Fund (fomiedy Parish Share) is the conlributitsn made by each church to the costs ol ministy and
mission across the Diocese of Lichfield. Although the benefice is one parish, it continues to receive
dislincl Common Fund allocations. Christ Church, Fenton, which was a dislincl parish until 2017, receives its
own Common Fund allocation from the Li¢hfield Diocesan Board of Finance (LDBF).
The other three distrirt churches comprise what was the historic Sloke Tèam Ministry. The PCC accordingly
receives a Common Fund allocation from LDBF for the histori¢ Stoke Team each year. The PCC then
reaches an agreement on the allocation of Common Fund amongst the district churches. Currently, this is In
proportion to the allocation of 8tipendiary clergy across the Team.
The accounts show that despi18 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 finan¢ial cominitments. St
Paul's, Mount Pleasant met its contribution in full. 80th All saints, H8Dley and Stoke Minster have additional
parish share arre8r$ al Ihe end of 2021.
Common Fund arrears do not themselves constitute a legally enforceabla debt. Were they such, the PCC
would be required to take consideration of airears in reaching a judgement as to whether it continues to be a
'going concern. The PCC would cleaty W￿$h to meet ils responsibilities in full, but this has not been possible
over the last year. It continues lo revlew its activities in the light of financial r8POrting.

Reserves Pollcy
11 is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free resetves {nel current asset5) which equates to
approximately £25,000. This is held to smooth out ff uctuations in cash ftow and to meet èmergencies. Free
reserves al year end were a deficit of £57.516, substantially below this largel {2021 figure -£17,593). There
was also a shortfall in the parish share creditor of £108,222, The trustees are cu¥rently looking at ways to
increase income, and thus increase free rese¥ves.
It is our policy lo invest the short term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Depo8lt
Fund and the remainder in the CCLA Church of England Invgstmenl Fund.
Climate Change and Investment Policy
The district churchos ol Christ Church. Fenton and Stoke Minster both have investments administered by CCLA
land in the latter case also a deposit fund).
The charity is granted F)ower lo invest in suitable investmen15 under the PCC Powers Measure 1956 and the
TTUStees Act 2000. As a charity, the Trustees have a duty of care to l¥ke such advi￿ as is appropriate before
investments are undertaken. This advice is sought from the Central Board of Finance ICCLAI in London.
The charity's investment policies are based on key principles.. _
Ethical Investment~ this includes ensuring that investments are held in companies which have high
standards of corpofale goverriance act in a responsible way towards stakeholders.
Long-lerm responsibilities - the Irusleès are aware of their long-lerm responsibilities in respect of the
Restricted and Unrestricted ￿5￿[YeS and as a result follow a prudent approach lo investment decisions.
Investment policy for long-lerTn funds is aimeEI primarily at generating a sustainable income, with due regar¢J lo the
need for ihe preservation of capital value, and the possible need lo realise investments lo meet operalional needs.
The charity does not havè 8 policy of generating income al excessive or high risk- kno￿￿ as'purchasing
income. where high returns are guaranteed at the expense ol capital.
In summary, the charity has an overall policy lo maximise income while preserving the real value of its ￿n￿8. Due
to the natu￿ o)f the charity, an ethical investment policy is taken into consideration when ir7veslmenls are made..
The charity follows the Ethical Inve$lmentAdvisory policy as recomrnended by the Lichfield Dio¢ese which
includes the following..
"We aim Ip invest in companies that..
11 develop their business in the interests of shareholders-,
demonstrate responsible employment practices.,
are conscientious concerning issues of corporalo govemance, the environment and human rights.,
are sensitive lo the community in which they operate."
Planned givlng, collections and donations are the main source5 of fund raising along wlh tax recoverable.
The CBF Investment Fund is managed by CCLA whose statement on investment policy is oulined al

England's General Synod TTrQtion on Cllmate Change approved in February 2020 (see

Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work acr055 our district churches in the
parish lo ensure that we are the welcoming, attractive and inclusive communities that the Church is called to

that an independent examination is needed.
