_Reg. charity no: 1196804_ # **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ANDREW, TAUNTON** ## **ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **For the year ended 31 December 2022** 1 **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ANDREW, TAUNTON ANNUAL REPORT 2022** ## **Administrative information** St Andrew’s Church is situated in Taunton. It is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells within the Church of England. The correspondence address is St Andrew’s Parish Office, Greenway Avenue, Taunton, Somerset, TA2 6HU. Parochial Church Council (PCC) members who have served from 1 January 2022 until date this report was approved are: _Incumbent_ The Revd Robin Lodge Chair (ex-officio) _Curate_ The Revd Katy Gough (ex-officio, until February 2022) The Revd Richard Kelley (ex-officio, from February 2023) _Churchwardens_ David Budd Vice Chair (ex-officio, until APM 2022) Tony Blackshaw (ex-officio) _Deanery Synod_ Stephen Grimshaw (ex-officio) _Representatives_ Henry Haslam (ex-officio) Darren Chalmers (ex-officio) _Elected members_ Ali Aish (from APCM 2022) Carol Dimmer (from APCM 2022) Phil Emond (to February 2022) Sue Goodman PCC Secretary Mervyn Jones Alison Perry (from APCM 2022) Di Rudd (from APCM 2022) Antony Yeo PCC Treasurer _Co-opted members_ Steve Bull (from APCM 2022) Bill Perry (from APCM 2022) _Permission to attend_ Lesley Gold Parish Administrator _and speak_ [APM = Annual Parish Meeting APCM = Annual Parochial Church Meeting] ## **Structure, governance and management** The PCC is a registered charity, numbered 1196804. It does not have any other related trusts or charities. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules (2020). All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. The PCC meets approximately bi-monthly to conduct church business. Sub-committees of the PCC exist for the management of St Andrew’s Church Hall, and to progress the New St Andrew’s Project. Limited life working parties are set up occasionally to fulfil specific tasks and consist of PCC members and others by invitation. The ministry of the parish is sustained by its Parish Priest, the Revd Robin Lodge and two Readers: Mrs Ruth Cook and Dr Jeremy Harvey. The Curate, the Revd Katy Gough, left to take up a new post in February 2022, and the Revd Richard Kelley joined us from the Wellington & District Team Ministry in February 2023 to complete his curacy. There is also a small team of Lay Pastoral Assistants and several other teams of volunteers covering a wide range of church life, which report regularly to the PCC. 2 ## **Objectives and activities** The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 summarises the charitable objects of the PCC as “cooperating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.” St Andrew’s PCC sees this as a calling to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it has been received by the Church of England by the nurture of faith among the community by word, pastoral care and practical service. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church and the church hall. From 1 September 2013, St Andrew’s Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School converted to academy status and became a member of the Bath & Wells Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and was renamed St Andrew’s Church of England School. The Revd Robin Lodge and Mrs Dawn Booth, both former foundation governors, continue as members of the Local Governing Committee as MAT appointees but once again known as foundation governors. Mrs Booth is currently Chair of the Local Governing Committee. Robin Lodge is to step down from this post in July 2023, at the end of his current term of office. At this time it is likely that is replacement will not be found from among the St Andrew’s congregation. 3 ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ANDREW, TAUNTON** ## **ANNUAL REPORT 2022 (CONTINUED)** ## **Achievements and performance** ## _Church attendance & Statistics for 2022_ The number on the Electoral Roll at 31 December 2022 was 100 (105 at 31 December 2021). The average Sunday attendance including children, counted in October was 78 (54 in 2021) but larger numbers attended for special services, such as at Christmas and Easter. In 2022 the number of baptisms was 10 (2 in 2021). There was one wedding in 2022 (0 in 2021). In total there were 9 funerals both in church and at local crematoria (12 in 2021). ## _Review of the Year_ The earlier part of 2022 began with the gradual emergence from the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic. In-person worship is now possible as previously, although it proved necessary to assure church members that, at the Eucharist, physical contact at the Peace and the receiving of the Common Cup were to be regarded as voluntary. It could be said that this has been the lasting visible damage from that period in our history, although it has become clear that the pandemic accelerated other changes that were already coming down the line. The PCC met eight times in 2022. Average attendance was 77% (81% in 2021). The Standing Committee (six meetings, of which 2 via Zoom), the Hall Committee, and the New St Andrew’s Group met between meetings. Minutes of their meetings were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. Other focussed groups and teams regularly report to PCC meetings. In line with diocesan policy, the PCC sets its priorities and expressed them in its Mission Action Plan. In September 2022 a parish conference was held to “press the reset button” on parish life and it established a set of values which would govern the choices made about priorities on emerging from pandemic conditions. These were to be: outward facing, reaching out to others in a way that is inclusive, accessible and welcoming to all; caring towards each other and our community; growing in confidence in our faith in a generous and loving God; responsive to change in society so that we are flexible in our worship and in how we serve others; and proactive in nurturing discipleship across the age groups. These were reviewed in October 2022 resulting in agreement to prioritise the reordering of the church heating system, which had collapsed earlier in the year; to seek a settled and workable provision of music in our worship following the retirement of our Director of Music at the end of September; to develop the use of the newly refurbished Narthex to meet the needs of the community and congregation; and to enhance opportunities for growth in our discipleship through prayer and study. Although there is no formal provision for children during worship, simple creche-type facilities are provided for the small children that attend. This will be reviewed during 2023. Church Mice and Messy Church, the latter in conjunction with Rowbarton Methodist Church, successfully relaunched during 2022. As noted above, schools work continues to be an important part of our work with children and young people. As well as involvement in governorship at St Andrew’s School, the Vicar shares weekly acts of collective worship in school with the Revd Deborah Kirk of Rowbarton Methodist Church, our own Reader, Ruth Cook, and our Curates. The Vicar is also a member of the Ethos Committee at The Taunton Academy, a church secondary school and part of the Richard Huish Academy Trust, which lies in our parish. Ongoing support for Collective Worship, Religious Education and Chaplaincy is available on request. “Easter Cracked,” a dramatic presentation of the Easter story for children from schools in the area run by members of MINT (Mission in North Taunton), successfully ran in 2022 and 2023, along with Nativity on the Green in December 2022. MINT is a federation of ourselves, Rowbarton Methodist, Oakwood Community Church and Wellsprings Chapel. Our work with Priorswood Primary School, which also lies within the parish, has consisted only of sending in occasional pre-recorded acts of Collective Worship. 4 ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ANDREW, TAUNTON ANNUAL REPORT 2022 (CONTINUED)** St Andrew’s has a Safeguarding Policy for the protection of children and vulnerable adults in line with diocesan guidelines. It is reviewed and updated annually. A copy of the policy is displayed in church. Names of all volunteers and their roles, not just those with Disclosure & Barring Service clearance, is available to the PCC as the body legally responsible for running the church. Full Job Descriptions have been formulated for each post, and training is regularly undertaken at an appropriate level for all those working for the PCC in a volunteer capacity. The PCC also has a Lone Worker Policy for employees and volunteers who need to work alone in church or in the community on its behalf, an Employee’s Complaints & Grievance Policy, and a Data Protection Policy. The PCC also has a range of other policies governing aspects of parish management. Home Communion is now fully available to individuals again following the pandemic, but work with care homes now mostly consists of providing end-of-life spiritual support when requested. A full programme of public fund-raising events ran in 2022 providing both enjoyment for all and a much needed boost to church funds. Donations sponsoring the spire lighting continue. Parish finances have been enhanced by a number of generous bequests over the last three years, although the PCC works hard to make sure that these unrepeatable windfalls are used wisely for the good of the work of the parish so loved by their late donors. All financial decisions are made with great care. The PCC also has a Financial Reserves Policy which ensures that we always have enough cash to cover all commitments for a minimum of 3 months in case of emergency. St Andrew’s continues to be represented at meetings of the North Taunton Partnership, and practical assistance given to Taunton Food Bank, Arc (formerly Taunton Association for the Homeless) and Taunton Welcomes Refugees. The grouping of the four churches of the Local Ministry Group has still not restarted since the beginning of the pandemic, although these groupings no longer form part of the diocesan structure. Nevertheless, connections between the churches remain valued, and joint services with our neighbours at Rowbarton Methodist Church restarted in 2022, but without the involvement of St Peter’s Lyngford. Many individual church members use household collecting boxes for the Children’s Society. There remains no planned giving from PCC funds. The church’s Health and Safety Officer is Mrs Lizzie Budd. She reports to the Churchwardens as she is not a PCC member, but regularly provides a report to PCC. A Health and Safety policy statement approved by the PCC is on display in church. Health and Safety is a standing PCC agenda item along with the reporting of any entries in the Accident Book as to whether any action is required. The most recent Quinquennial Inspection was made by the PCC’s (now former) architect, Mrs Jo Hibbert, in December 2020, and although a number of modest actions were needed, priority has had to be given to the reordering of the heating, the absence of which has meant public worship being held in the Church Hall during winter months. In 2015 the decision was made to take the Use of Buildings Report as a general direction of travel for the modernisation and reordering of the church. A group was appointed by the PCC to take this forward, chaired by Alan Cook, who was also appointed Project Manager for this work, handing over to Mr David Budd during 2022. So far we have achieved additional toilet facilities, and supported the PCC with improving the main entrance and refurbished Narthex. A faculty application has been submitted to remove the pews from the South Aisle area so that the church building can be used more flexibly for congregation and community alike. During late 2022, Jo Hibbert resigned her role as PCC Architect, and Mr Michael Vaughan, of B2 Architects of Wedmore, was appointed in her place. The Hall Committee, led by our Hall Manager, Lesley Jones, has continued to oversee the use of the building and implement planned improvements, one of the most recent being the installation of Wi-Fi so as to attract business and public service organisations. The monthly magazine that had been produced ended at the close of 2022 when its editor retired with no replacement. A weekly electronic and postal mailing, a refurbished parish website, a Facebook page and an Instagram page are the other main means of communication. Following the pandemic, we will need to continue working on how to respond to a changing church brought about by that tragic period and other societal factors. This will inevitably involve change, which for many 5 does not always come easily. It is not yet clear what the shape of the wider Church will be, nor the implications that will mean for St Andrew’s, but we hope that we will respond faithfully to the needs of the community we serve. 6 ## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ANDREW, TAUNTON** ## **ANNUAL REPORT 2022 (CONTINUED)** ## _Financial review_ Total receipts on funds were £138,423 and are detailed in the financial statements. £129,155 was spent to provide the Christian ministry from St Andrew’s Church, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The parish share paid this calendar year was £49,614. The net result was a surplus of £9,268, including Restricted Funds. It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately three months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. It is our policy to invest our fund balances in the CBF Church of England deposit funds.
