REVIEW OF THE YEAR

Worship and Prayer

The Pattern of regular congregational worship has been severely restricted by the effects of the Covid 19 Pandemic. When permitted the following has been offered:

Every Sunday: 9.30am Service of the Word from St Chads (Streamed on Facebook) 11.30am Eucharist in St Chads

Daily prayer in Church Monday to Friday 8.30am

Mid -Week Holy Communion Tuesday 10.00am (Streamed on Facebook Wednesday 10.00am in St Chad’s

First Wednesday of every month

Jump for Joy (1.30pm Worship for babies, pre-school children and their

parents)

at St Chad’s

During the year active participation by the choir in church worship and all congregational singing was forbidden.

Due to the effect pf the pandemic including the restriction of numbers there was a drastic reduction in the number of ‘occasional offices’ in the church during 2020 ???

There are ???(as at 31 December 2020) on the Church’s electoral roll. The average weekly attendance (Sundays plus midweek) for the year was ??? including officiating clergy, adults and children).

Social Outreach and Community Engagement?

Financial Review

2020 was a difficult and financially challenging year, sadly the marked restrictions on normal activities caused by the Covid-19 pandemic reversed the effects of the positive improvements in parish finances achieved in 2019. Planned giving did increase by almost 17% during 2020 but cash collections reduced by 75%, fees reduced by 40% and the church hall instead of giving us a gain of almost £8,000 sustained a loss of just over £4,000.

The receipts in the totally unrestricted funds equalled £123,799 as detailed in the financial statements, £132,671 was spent to provide the Christian Ministry from St Chads including the

3

full payment of the parish share requested by the diocese for the financial year, plus twenty percent owning from the previous financial year. The net result for the year was an excess of expenditure over income of £8,872. After adding the current and deposit account balances brought forward at the beginning of the year the balance carried forward in the totally unrestricted funds at the 31st December 2019 was £30,618.

The income to the designated Fabric and Churchyard fund includes the dividends from the Global Equity holding, CCLA deposit account interest and the annual churchyard maintenance grant received from Lichfield City Council. During 2019 the income to the fund was £4,185 with an expenditure of £4,957. Revaluation of the holdings added another £9,189, resulting in an end of year fund value of £10,485.

No activity was reported for the Mission and Ministry Fund during the year, but it was agreed that it should be retained for further use.

Income into Elmhurst restricted fund during 2019 was £6219, £3030 was spent to provide the Christian Ministry from Elmhurst Chapel and a further £2,000 was transferred to the unrestricted funds as a contribution to the above mentioned parish share payment. The net result in the Elmhurst restricted fund at the 31st December 2019 after adding the balances brought forward at the beginning of the year in the current and deposit account equalled £16 , 333.

A further small restricted collection fund shows an income of £622 with an expenditure of £1482 this reflects the balance brought forward at the beginning of the year, no funds are carried forward to 2020.

The Giving in Grace stewardship campaign achieved 35% of the target we were aiming for, this result it was both positive and encouraging. Promised increases in the planned giving amounted to over £1,000 per month resulting in a much needed increase of just over £12,500 annually.

Reserves Policy

It is the trustees’ policy to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds which equate to approximately two months unrestricted payments. The unrestricted fund balance is considered adequate for this purpose.

Investment Policy

It is the policy of the trustees to invest our surplus funds in National Savings and Investments, The CBF Church of England Deposit Fund and Global Equity income Shares.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the Mothers Union Diocese of Lichfield Charity Number 249942 I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to6. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: ' examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; . to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and . to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.. Independent examinerfs statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met. 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
