_PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2023 : Charity No. 1202588_ 

The trustees of the Parochial Church Council of St Laurence Foleshill present their annual report. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

St Laurence Foleshill is a Church of England Parish Church in the Diocese of Coventry offering charitable services to the locality.  We hold weekly Sunday services as well as family; children’s and youth work; food poverty relief; pastoral support; and other Christian events, courses and ministries. 

The Parochial Church Council of St Laurence Foleshill (PCC) has the responsibility for promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. 

We are a community called to: 

- worship God 

- grow as disciples of Jesus 

- transform the communities of North Coventry in love 

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church building and the church hall together with the surrounding grounds.  The PCC is also responsible for maintaining a freehold property (house) in Gayer Street, Coventry that it owns, which is let out to tenants to provide additional income.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

This is the first Annual Report and Accounts since we registered with the Charity Commission on 31[st] March 2023.  Prior to this we were an excepted charity, but our turnover has now exceeded £100,000. 

The church works at the centre of the community in partnership with the local school, care home and other groups (such as Coventry Foodbank and Christians Against Poverty) who share our aims.  The Hope Hub offers emergency food support in a warm, safe place with additional help (such as debt support) available and it is always busy.  The Family Link Worker works with the local primary school and co-ordinates regular activities for families, children and youth (including food), along with a holiday club during school holidays (including lunch at a time when there are no school meals available).  The staff team offers pastoral support in various ways to those within our community.  The church hall (that is the base for most activities) is also an affordable resource space for community groups to hire.  We have a dedicated safeguarding lead, with regular training and support for all staff and volunteers in their work with children and vulnerable adults.  We do everything we can to protect people from any form of abuse, neglect or harm of any kind. 

Over the course of the year we have offered our normal range of services and activities.  These include:- 

- Weekly services enabling the community to meet together to worship, with Sunday Club for primary aged children and a monthly All-Together Family worship. 

- Special services at Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and Harvest. 

- Weddings, baptisms and funerals as required. 

- Distributing 20 emergency food parcels a week to those in need and also offering support, a warm safe space and signposting with food and drink, a charging point and Databank available (Hope Hub). 

- Working with the local Church of England Primary School (who partially fund our Family Link Worker) running after school clubs, baking classes, stay and play sessions, supporting staff and hosting weekly school assemblies in the church. 

- After school activities for families (Connect). 

- A monthly informal service of worship and prayer (Encounter) which welcomes members from other local churches across the Deanery and Mission Hub. 

- Holiday clubs for families. 

- Youth group (JJs and TTs) that is majority BAME. 

- We are part of Coventry North Deanery. 

## Our hall users include:- 

- Ladybird Pre-School Playgroup with places for 40 children. 

- Cocaine Anonymous with an average of 10 individuals supported each week. 

- • Dance Club (health and fitness) with 15-20 young people a week. 

- Groups from BAME communities with 50-60 people in each.

## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** 

## Highlights of the year are:- 

- Our average weekly attendance has increased to 54 adults (from 27 in 2022) and 39 children (from 28 in 2022). 

- We have celebrated 7 baptisms. 

- A former member of our youth group was confirmed at Coventry Cathedral at Easter. 

- The PCC had a successful Away Day with input on “Family on Mission” from a missionary serving in Peru. 

- The Hope Hub celebrated its 4[th] Birthday. 

- Hope Hub fed over 2,000 people (part funded by a grant from Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Communities Fund). 

- Hope Hub Christmas Dinner served for 45-50 people, and 200 Christmas hampers distributed (part funded by a grant from Love Christmas) 

- The mid-week youth group grew too big for a front room and relocated to the main church hall. 

- The number of older children at Connect increased. 

- In June we supported the ALIVE praise party and children from Key Stage 2 at the Primary School attended. 

- We hosted a Mission Hub retreat at Lee Abbey. 

- At Pentecost we ran a prayer room at Riley Square (a local shopping centre) for 10 days as part of Thy Kingdom Come. 

- Our Mission Hub set up 2 huddles for leaders overseeing mission and ministry with children and young people. 

- We welcomed over 800 children into the church for Christmas assemblies 

- The monthly Mission Hub Leaders Formation Huddle has grown in membership and depth of relationships. 

- We were awarded a Bronze Award as part of the National Eco Church project. 

- A new tenant moved into our Gayer Street property. 

- Electrical remedial work on the Church Hall was completed. 

- The Deanery Synod met 3 times and heard about the ALIVE event, Eco-Living, Women’s Ministry and the Deanery Plan to be younger and more diverse, serve generously and be bolder and together. 

There have been some staffing changes during the year.  One of our assistant ministers left in May 2023 to serve a neighbouring parish.  We were successful in appointing a replacement (funded by the diocese) who will begin her ministry with us as a Mission Hub Associate in February 2024.  In July our previous curate left and a new one was appointed.  We appointed a new (paid) cleaner in June 2023 and a (voluntary) treasurer in May 2023.  We also welcomed an extra curate for a final year placement.  All volunteers and staff have been safely recruited and appropriate safeguarding training has been completed

## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** 

Our plans for the future include:- 

- We hope to expand the work of our Hope Hub (we are applying for the grants we need to make this possible). 

- We are exploring further community projects in Riley Square 

- We hope to develop a Greenhouse community for North Coventry, encouraging parishes, clergy and lay leaders to develop potential new mission ideas or initiatives through training, coaching and support. 

- We are working towards our Silver Award with the Nation Eco Church Project. 

- Lightening Protection and Electrical remedial work for the church is planned and the Quinquennial Inspection is due 

- We hope to update the church heating system when funding is available 

We would like to thank our staff team and the large group of over 30 volunteers who contribute time and energy to help our activities run successfully.  We would also like to thank our 15 regular donors, together with those who have given us one off donations and grants during the year.  All this has enabled us to serve the local community in the many different ways described above.

_PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2023 : Charity No. 1202588_ 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Review of financial position at end of year** 

The total receipts on unrestricted funds were £95,400.  This came from donations (£49,641 including Gift Aid), letting out our hall, weddings and funerals and other operating activities (£38,899), letting out the freehold house in Gayer Street (£6,790) and other investment income (£70).  We also received £14,904 of restricted donations (for our Hope Hub, children/youth work and fabric maintenance) and £3,011 of restricted investment income (for fabric maintenance), making our total income for 2023 £113,315. 

£98,358 of unrestricted funds and £14,674 of restricted funds were spent on the activities and achievements described earlier in this report (total £113,032).  This included our £26,472 contribution to the diocese (the parish share that helps provide stipends and housing for the clergy) and our staff salary costs (£32,423). 

The net result for the year was a small excess of income over expenditure of £283. 

We carry forward a cash balance of £39,617 unrestricted funds and £20,542 restricted funds totalling £60,159.  The unrestricted funds are split between the general fund (£8,487) and the designated capital projects fund (£31,130) which is earmarked for large projects. 

Full details are in our Financial Statements in Appendix A. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months of unrestricted payments.  This is equivalent to £24,590.  It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies.  The cash balance of £8,487 held in our general fund at the end of the year was much lower than this target _._ It is the PCC’s hope to increase this over time, as and when funds are available.

_PCC St Laurence Foleshill Annual Report and Accounts 2023 : Charity No. 1202588_ 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006). 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.  At St Laurence’s the membership of PCC consists of the vicar, associate ministers and curate, the church wardens, the treasurer and PCC members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. 

All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.  New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.  The PCC met 6 times during the year.  Some of our PCC members are paid staff or related to other PCC members.  Where there is a conflict of interest these PCC members withdraw from the discussion and decision making. 

In between PCC meetings the standing committee (vicar, church wardens, treasurer, family link worker, administrator) make any significant decisions, reporting back next time the PCC meets. 

The staff team (ordained staff, paid staff, plus a church warden/safeguarding lead) are responsible for day-to-day decisions. 

## **Safeguarding** 

The PCC of St Laurence, Foleshill is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within our church community and has made the following policy commitments:- 

- Promoting a safer environment and culture 

- Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children, young people and vulnerable adults within the church 

- Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation 

- Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse and other affected persons 

- Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations of abuse and other affected persons 

- Responding to those that may pose a present risk to others 

We have a dedicated safeguarding lead and regular training and support for all staff and volunteers.
