FRIENDS OF CIRENCESTER PARISH CHURCH REPORT AND ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 272334
FRIENDS OF CIRENCESTER PARISH CHURCH YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 TRUSTEES. REPORT OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The Objects of the Charity are to assist in the care, preservation and adornment of the Parish Church or any other ancient and historic buildings vèsted in the Parochial Church Council (the °PCC"I, togelher with their goods and omaments, and *0 assist the PCC with maintenance and development of the worship and life of the Church. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The evaluation of the susS of the Charity lies in its ability to respond to requests forfunding of projects by maximising the return on its investments. The requests cover projects ranging from major conservation work relating to the fabric of Cirencester Parish Church to projects of enhancement, maintenan, or repair of the fabric or for other religious purposes in conjunction with the PCC. The Charity has normal powers of investment, as contained in the Trustee Act 2000. There has been no change of investment stralegy during the year. Investments are managed on a discretionary basis by Brewin Dolphin without prior instruction from the Trustees. The performance of investments in the Charity's portfolio is reviewed regularly with the investment adviser and discussed at meetings of the Council. The estimated gross yield on investments held in the portfolio before fees was almost unchanged at 2.680 (2019= 2.800A}. The Charity's operalions were impacted by the coronavirus which significantly limited the abilily of churches lo hold serVIS or be open for private prayer. Restoration projects were largely placed on hold. but Ihe Charity was able to support the development of streamed servi8 for parishioners who could not attend church. During the year, the Charity considered requests from the PCC for funding of projects and, where appropriate, provided funds or undeTwrote the costs of refurbishment work undertaken by the PCC. In 2020, grants totalled £18,327 (2019.. £21,200} of which £4.360 related to the Tower Statues Project. With that background, Ihe Trustees review the investment policy on a regular basis. The Trustees take account of both the cost estimates and proposed timing of expenditure of approved projects where funding has been requested by the PCC to ensure that funds required for approved projects are available on a timely basis. The Tower Statues Project is not a project managed by the Charity but is separately managed. However, selected income and expenditure relating to the project is administered by the Charity on behalf ofthe Project Group. FINANCIAL REVIEW The total of Funds on 1 January 2020 was £882.542. During the financial year. unrestricted income fell by 31°h to £21,068 {2019'. £31,397) due to reductions in both general donations and lower investment income resulting from the pandemic. Restricted income associated with The Tower Slatues Project was £10,739. unre$tried expenditure was lower at £20,849 (2019.. £30,249). Expenditure on charitable activities amounted lo £14,327 which included support PayWntS to the parish for gas supplies when its income collapsed in the earfy stages of the pandemic. The other notable gpnt was made to support the acquisition of computer equipment which has been used to produce the successful streamed services for the parish. Page 1
FRIENDS OF CIRENCESTER PARISH CHURCH YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 TRUSTEES, REPORT Despite the volatility of the Stock Market during the year, our investment manager continued to buy and sell invéstment assels in accordance with the mediuTrFlerm oUt1k adopted by the Charity. Sales of investment assets yielded prOed$ of £81,635 realising a loss of£15,081. The proceeds were reinvested following the advi of the Charity's investmenl manager. The Charity's results take accounl of unrealised profits and losses on investments held at the end of the year. Whilst the holdings of individual equities incurred losses during the year, these were more than offset by gains in the values of most of the bonds and investment funds. Overall, there was an unrealised gain of £56,193 after the value of investments was marked to market on 31 December 2020. Accordingly, the value of investments held by the Charity rose to £791,506 on 31 December 2020. Cash held on deposit with the Charity's bankers and at its investment manager totalled £100,657 of which £21.850 is attributable to The T¢)wer Statues Project. Total a¢cumulated funds at the balan sheet date amounted to £930,613 (2019.. £882,542) of which £22,044 is held as a restricted fund for the restoration of the statues on the parish church tower (The Tower Statues Project). PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Friends of Cirencester Parish Church continue with the plan to increase membership to provide additional funding. Legacies will also be encouraged to build up capital for the future. Applications for grants to fund projects are invited from the PCC.
