## **Report on the proceedings of the Parochial Church Council and General Parish Activities 2020/2021** 

The PCC has appointed the following three committees 

Standing Committee                      Fabric Committee Finance Committee 

1. This report covers the period since the last APCM in October 2020.  During this time the PCC has met on four occasions, and by Zoom only in the light of government COVID restrictions.  The PCC has considered at each meeting how to continue the worship of the church and ensure the safety of those attending during the pandemic.  It has reviewed arrangements for worship and associated risk assessments. It also receives a report at each meeting on safeguarding and health and safety and the PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016,  namely  to  have  regard  to  House  of  Bishops’  guidance  on  safeguarding  children  and vulnerable adults. 

2. The PCC has followed the practice of having a main item for consideration which is generally of longer term and strategic importance, as follows: 

   - November 2020: Reaching out to families and children, with Canon Margaret Dean 

   - January 2021:  Taking stock part way through the pandemic, resilience, learning 

   - March 2021:  Our response to climate change,with the Diocesan Environment Officer 

   - May 2021:  Looking ahead to options for the future ministry of St Nicholas Compton 

3. The  Council has  developed  several significant  building  projects since October,  including  the refurbishment of the church car park which had been delayed by a number of factors.  The work was completed successfully in December 2020 and within budget.  Three faculty applications were approved, including for the restoration of the east window glass, the automatic winder for the clock and the reopening of the north door. The Council has kept a careful eye on expenditure and agreed a principle that funding for these projects should be sought from special giving and trust funding rather than from reserves. 

4. The Council has received regular reports from the Finance Committee, and approved the 2020 Accounts.  Income and expenditure were carefully monitored through the pandemic, and the financial situation of the church has not been a matter for particular concern as regular giving has remained faithful and reliable.  It was decided not to hold a stewardship campaign at the usual time of year, leading up to the annual meeting but to plan a summer event looking at the needs of the church for the next few years. 

5. Parish  activities  have  been  fundamentally  affected  by  the  pandemic,  and  this  has  called  for considerable innovation as well as determination to continue worship and pastoral care. In place of weekly worship in church open to all, most services have been available on Zoom.  Members of the congregation have been engaged in caring for those who may be isolated or in need. In fact, the circles of worship and care have widened during the pandemic.  Attendance by Zoom has been above the usual numbers expected in church. There are 80 recipients of the weekly invitation to join the Zoom service. 

6. The celebration of Christmas and Easter had to be changed at short notice, and it was affected by the restriction on numbers.  Nonetheless, attendance was at the maximum permitted.  To compensate for the reduced numbers allowed, the church was open and decorated, and with helps to prayer and reflection around Christmas and in Holy Week and Easter.  While the numbers who came in to church were not large, it was good in principle for the church to be open, and for this to be advertised in the village.  We continue to benefit at festivals and in ordinary time from the skills and commitment of Steven Salmon and the choir, and especially their flexibility in the face of the changed circumstances.

7. The opportunities for learning have also been restricted by the pandemic, at least in their customary format of groups and meeting for discussion.  Instead, during Lent, a programme of six sessions on a Sunday evening were held by Zoom, and these attracted good participation of up to 30 plus. Thanks are particularly due to Jill Sandham and Annabel Harris as our local contributors to the sessions. 

8. A newsletter including a simple liturgy for use at home has been provided weekly to around 100 email addresses. It is also included on the village Facebook page.  This was an innovation from the start of the pandemic, and partly a response to the demise of the parish magazine. The newsletter benefits greatly from the excellent art work of Jo Dix, who in addition to being a diligent verger, is also a fine artist (and cartoonist). 

9. The Bishop in October gave us four priorities to work at during my time here. They are: 

   - forging a way through the challenges of the pandemic 

   - finding new ways of working which suit the new situation after the pandemic 

   - reaching out to younger members of the village, to families and children 

   - making stronger and deeper relationships in the village community. 

   - Some progress has been made and we can look forward to a better situation if and when the current restrictions ease further, and we can offer a more straightforward invitation to worship, to events and to the church building.  Several areas need to be developed, as follows. 

10. Encouraging younger members means being open to change in what we offer, especially in worship, and to when and maybe where we offer it.  There are good memories in St Nicholas of family worship and events around the church.  There is still scope for that style of approach, particularly around festivals, but younger families now often have busy lives and commitments, and our provision needs to reflect that.  We should also seek to offer opportunities for learning and growing in faith for adults as well as children. 

11. The church’s communication has developed considerably through the pandemic and is now aimed at a wider audience.  The next stage is to develop a website which can serve the needs of all ages, including those older members who want to keep in contact from home, as well as those who wish to visit the church.  The website should also be used to communicate faith and offer opportunities for learning about Christian faith and life. 

12. The pandemic has helped to create a greater sense of community and caused local institutions to look for partnerships.  As restrictions ease, that sense of partnership and neighbourliness will need to be nurtured in case we return to a more habitual state of getting on in our own bubble. The church has much to give to and receive from local institutions but will need to look out for ways to partner, and cover issues that matter. 

13. Two such issues are the significant personal and pastoral needs which flow from the pandemic, including in families and in mental health. A further issue is around climate change and the changes of behaviour required of us. As well as sorting out our own climate response as a church, we could also offer to others partnership in reflection and action for change. 

14. The church building is held in great affection by many in the congregation and the area, and there is a long tradition of caring for and improving it.  Strangely, this may limit our awareness of the wider significance of the building as an architectural, historical and spiritual asset. At present the service we provide to visitors and walkers, and students of history, is limited.  There is scope for making the building more accessible, including through the website, and sustainable as a result of the wider interest it can attract. 

-  2  - 



15. The current arrangements for ministry are secure until August 2022.  The PCC has already begun to consider options for the next stage of the ministry and the church’s work here, what kind of partnerships we can envisage and the financial implications.  This will be a priority for the Council over the next few months to ensure that we are in a good position and aware of our opportunities and needs when the Bishop and Archdeacon begin to work with us on the future. 

16. The PCC and the church as a whole only work on the basis of generosity and commitment so thanks are due to all of you who contribute to its life.  Particular thanks to Judith Green and Cax du Pon who are stepping down as PCC members, and to Margaret Davies for her work as PCC Secretary: and to Marian Williams who as Churchwarden has offered a lead in the church through some thin times recently, but with her customary patience and kindness intact.  I am personally very grateful to Jenny Lee as a valued colleague in ministry. 

The Revd Julian Hubbard Rector of Compton May 2021 fabric costs arise.

Annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020
Independent examiner's report to tbe PCC of St Nicholas, Compton
This report on ihe aecount5 of the PCC for the year end&1 31 December 2020. which are set out on pages I to 6.
is in respect of an examination carried out uEhdtt The Regulations of the Church Accounting Regulations 21M>6
('the Regulations,) and S_145 of the Chatiiies Att 2011 ('the Act.).
Respective reSPo￿lbilli1Q¥ ofthff PCC andihe examiner
As members of the PCC you are re5ponstble for the preparati4)n of the accoun￿ you consider that the audit
requLFement tsf the Regulaiions and section 144{2) of the Act do not apply. It is our responsibility to issue thi5 rewrt
on those acciNJnts in a¢¢ordance with the terms of the Reoulations.
Basis ofthis report
Our ¢xamination was cartied out in accordance with the General Direaions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5Xb) of the Ad and to be found in the Chureh guidance, 2013 edition, issued by the Finance
Division of the Archbishops, Council. That ek3rnination inclu(ks a review of ihe ac£ounting records kept by the
PCC artd a comparison of the a¢¢ount5 with those rec￿15. It also include5 considering any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanarions from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do noi provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil and consequently we do
not express an audit opinion on the vi¢w gi￿￿ by th¢ arrounts.
Independenl ￿￿mInerS $i￿¢ment
In Connection with our examin￿10ft. no matkr has come to our aitentioii:
(i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any maierial respect the requiremen
to keep accouniing records in aceordance with section lio of the Act- and
io prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the
Act and the Rwlations have not beert me¢
(ill to which, in our opinion. attention should be drawn in order to eoable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be r¢￿hed.

Respective reSPo￿lbilli1Q¥ ofthff PCC andihe examiner
As members of the PCC you are re5ponstble for the preparati4)n of the accoun￿ you consider that the audit
requLFement tsf the Regulaiions and section 144{2) of the Act do not apply. It is our responsibility to issue thi5 rewrt
on those acciNJnts in a¢¢ordance with the terms of the Reoulations.
Basis ofthis report
Our ¢xamination was cartied out in accordance with the General Direaions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5Xb) of the Ad and to be found in the Chureh guidance, 2013 edition, issued by the Finance
Division of the Archbishops, Council. That ek3rnination inclu(ks a review of ihe ac£ounting records kept by the
PCC artd a comparison of the a¢¢ount5 with those rec￿15. It also include5 considering any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanarions from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do noi provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil and consequently we do
not express an audit opinion on the vi¢w gi￿￿ by th¢ arrounts.
Independenl ￿￿mInerS $i￿¢ment
In Connection with our examin￿10ft. no matkr has come to our aitentioii:
(i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any maierial respect the requiremen
to keep accouniing records in aceordance with section lio of the Act- and
io prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the
Act and the Rwlations have not beert me¢
(ill to which, in our opinion. attention should be drawn in order to eoable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be r¢￿hed.
