2.              Structure & Management

St Faith’s Church is the principal church of the Havant Deanery in the Diocese of Portsmouth within the Church of England.

Incumbent

At the start of 2009, St Faith’s was in a vacancy following the departure of the previous incumbent, the Reverend David Gibbons, on 31st July 2008.

The process of finding a replacement incumbent began in August 2008.  The PCC chose to let the Bishop nominate candidates, rather than advertising nation-wide, the latter being at St Faith’s expense.  Having failed to identify a suitable candidate, the Bishop advertised the post in November 2008 (at no cost to St Faith’s); two applicants were interviewed but no appointment made.  The Bishop then nominated a further candidate as a result of which we were delighted to welcome the Reverend Canon Peter Jones as our incumbent.  Peter was inducted on 1 June 2009.

During the vacancy, the church affairs were the responsibility of the two Church Wardens.  This put a considerable workload on them and the remainder of the PCC.

Parochial Church Council (PCC)

The method of appointment of PCC members is as set out in the Church Representation Rules.  All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.

Charitable Status

In common with all other Church of England PCCs, St Faith’s PCC has been recognised as a charity for many years, but was exempt from the requirement to register with the Charity Commission.

Under the terms of the Charities Act 2006, the Parochial Church Council (PCC), having an annual income in excess of £100,000 is now registered with the Charity Commission; this registration was confirmed on 26th February 2009.

Accountability

The PCC is fully aware of the risk factors involved in the running of church affairs and continues to ensure that all our properties are adequately insured, including public liability.  We have a Health and Safety policy which our officers follow and have implemented the Disability Discrimination Act.

Our Child Protection Officer, Fiona Hedley, who is a member of the PCC, has ensured that the Child Protection Policy approved by the PCC, has been applied across all church activities as well as ensuring that the owner of the private nursery which hires rooms in Church House is aware of our child protection responsibilities.

Public Benefit

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance and requirements on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had due regard to it in their administration of the PCC. As a part of its general promotion of the whole mission of the Church, the PCC provides a benefit to the public by:

·         providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and

·         promoting Christian values, and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

3.              Objectives & Activities

The principle function of St Faith’s PCC is promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

St Faith’s PCC has responsibility for St Nicholas Chapel in Langstone and the following properties which are either let on tenancy agreements or hired out either on a regular or one-off basis:

  • Parish Hall complex, including Church House and Coach House;
  • Christchurch Centre and Christchurch Bungalow, Havant
  • Nos 1 & 2 Churchfields, Havant

The incumbent and the 2 Churchwardens are also Trustees of the Church Institute which is responsible for 2/4 North Street, Havant.

The planning and resourcing of Sunday and weekday Eucharistic and non-eucharistic services and the conducting of occasional offices (see below) give rise to careful and extended preparation in relation to Christian Initiation and Holy Marriage as well as bereavement visiting.  Home Communion is administered by three laity licensed for the purpose.  See ‘Development’ section for significant new activity in secondary and tertiary educational establishments which extends out ongoing work with children in four local primary schools.

In support of its objectives and responsibilities, St Faith’s also runs a number of support groups, including:

·         Sunday Club

·         Youth Church

·         Young Believers Club

·         Bible Study Group

·         Women’s reading group

·         Prayer Group

·         Communion before Confirmation classes

·         Confirmation classes

·         Lent Groups

·         Men’s Group

·         Ladies Group

·         Art Group

A review of objectives formed an essential part of the Rapid Parish Development Programme which formally began in November.  See ‘Developments’ section.

Baptisms:                   16

Confirmations:          3*

Weddings:                   5

Funerals:                     3#

4.              Review of 2009 Activities & Achievements

Church Attendance

There are 165 parishioners on the Electoral Roll.

The average weekly attendance, counted in October 2009 was 88.  This increased at the Easter, Christmas, Civic and Remembrance Day services; the attendance on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (combined) was 813.

These figures are used by the diocese to determine the parish share to be paid by St Faith’s to support the running of the diocese.

Ecumenical and Wider Church

Throughout 2009, St. Faith’s continued to take a full part in the life of the Deanery and Diocese.  There are two Deanery representatives on Deanery Synod.

St Faith’s was represented consistently on the Churches Together in Havant and Bedhampton group.

Charitable Support

St. Faith’s has continued to support two particular missions: the missionaries in Sendai, Japan through the ministry of Rod and Glenda Thomas under the auspices of Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF) and the parish of St John the Divine, Nsawam, Ghana through the Inter Diocesan West African Link (IDWAL), in which the Portsmouth Diocese is linked to Ghana.

St. Faith’s also supports a boy in Boystown, India and has supported other charity organisations as nominated by the PCC.

Publicity & Communications

“Faith Matters”, the monthly parish magazine, was published each month in 2009 as in previous years.  Each contained varied articles, puzzles and a “what’s on” feature to keep parishioners informed about parish life.  A summary of the meetings from the PCC, PDG and BMC were also included.  The magazine continued to be self supporting, gaining its income from magazine sales and advertisements.  Circulation was around 175 copies per month.  Colin Carter and his wife Beryl are to be commended for their efforts in publishing this efficiently each month.

St Faith’s also has its own Website - www.stfaith.com - which is very well established and attracts interest and correspondence from around the world.  It was maintained up to date throughout 2009.  The magazine editor is also the Website manager.

The Weekly Bulletin continued to be produced for the Sunday services, highlighting events taking place in the near future.  It also contained the readings for the 9.30am Sunday Eucharist.

Development

The new Incumbent has undertaken a review of the parish aims in the light of previous development plans and our current finances.  Consultants have been engaged to facilitate this review, titled Rapid Parish Development.  The first session was held in November 2009.  This was open to all members of the congregation and attracted a lot of interest and support.  Further meetings have been held in early 2010.  The report is due in Spring 2010.

Negotiations, which are still ongoing, took place with the Dynamo Youth Theatre for their use of our Hall.

Our properties at Christ Church (Centre and Bungalow) are now let together with Churchfields (Nos 1 & 2).

The new incumbent assumed the responsibilities specified in the Schedule of Agreement under the new partnership between the Diocese of Portsmouth and Warblington School.  The parish is encouraged to forge links and the Rector has access to worship in the school and to its curriculum development as well as providing drop-in chaplaincy services.

The new incumbent was formally appointed Chaplain to Havant College of Further Education in December 2009.

He continues his diocesan responsibilities as Bishop’s Advisor on Inter Faith Matters, and Bishop’s Clerical Examiner for prospective ordinands.  He agreed to act as Mentor and to deliver the Initial Ministerial Education (4-7) programme to the five assistant curates planning to serve titles on the mainland part of the diocese, commencing in July 2010.

Social & Fundraising Events

Social & fundraising events took place through 2009.   Of particular note in inviting the community into the church and raising funds for the Restoration and Redevelopment Appeal are:

·         Coffee mornings

·         Concert by Snohomish Choir in aid of Organ Fund

·         St Celia’s Day concert with Bosmere Junior School

·         Town Fair

·         Deanery Fair-Trade Fashion Show

·         Havant Rotary Community Carol Service

 

5.              2009 Financial Review

In comparison with the previous year, 2009 saw an improvement in overall finances. The main factors were:

·       Christchurch Centre and Christchurch Bungalow were both let in the year.

·       Churchfields 1 & 2 were both also let.

In the case of Christchurch Centre, the lease agreement required payment of £16,000 up front for the first 15 months.  This means that there will be no more rental income until August 2010, a factor which has been taken into account in preparing the 2010 budget.

There were unforeseen repair costs associated with the failure of fabric within many of our buildings; the 2010 budget will not rectify this but future budgets must do so. Whilst all properties required repairs, there was a net income from property.

As in other years, St Faith’s continued to pay all bills and the parish share promptly and in full.

For the Restoration and Redevelopment appeal, parishioners once again put significant time and effort into fundraising, raising a total of just under £6,500.

There has been some adjustment of funds at year end to establish the values agreed by the PCC; specifically the organ fund and Lighting / CCTV fund.  The restricted robes, piano and youth club funds were all spent by end 2009 through the purchase of choir robes and the A Frame for the piano, and youth club activities.

In preparation for the diocesan Stewardship Renewal Service in September, it was agreed that in view of the overall poor level of planned giving at St Faith’s, currently half the national average (source: Diocesan Stewardship Advisor), a well founded campaign would need to be undertaken at the earliest opportunity.  Advice would be sought as to whether such a campaign might also include an appeal for monies towards specified capital projects relating to repairs and renovations detailed in the 2009 quinquennial inspection report.

The new incumbent noted the absence of any report on stewardship in the 2008 Annual Report.  A clear analysis of current giving trends is a prerequisite for planning future campaigns and annual renewal services and events.

It was noted that the 2009 budget had not been prepared on a basis of planned growth in specific areas of mission.

6.              Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the PCC to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the PCC, at a level which equates to three months’ unrestricted expenditure.  This provides sufficient funds to cover parish management and administration as well as the activities directly relating to the work of the Church.  It is our policy to invest surplus funds with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

 

We confirm that unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout 2009.

7.              STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

The members of the Parochial Church Council are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the PCC and of the surplus or deficit of the PCC for the period.  In preparing those financial statements, the PCC is required to :

1)         select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

2)         make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

3)         prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the PCC will continue in operation.

The members of the PCC are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the PCC.  They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the PCC and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 St Faith’s PCC confirms that it is aware of these responsibilities and that it has exercised them to the best of its ability.

Notes

1.              ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP (2005).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value and properties which are shown at valuation as at 31 December 1998.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.  Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law.  They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.  Following new regulations introduced in respect of the year 2007 and subsequently sums collected for specific charities (eg at “special” and funeral services) are now excluded from the financial statements.  Previously they were included in both incoming and outgoing resources.

Incoming Resources

Voluntary income and capital sources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. 

Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when received.

Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Sales from the church shop are accounted for gross.

Other income

Rental income from the letting of premises owned by the church is recognised when the rental is due.

Income from investments

Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable.

Gains and losses on investments

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold.

Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.

Resources Used

Grants

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Church activities

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid.  Any parish share unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet.

Resources expended

All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

Fixed Assets

Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by S.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993.

Movable church furnishings held by the Rector and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable property unless consecrated.  They are listed in the Church’s Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time).  For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts.

All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off.

Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment

Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Assets capitalised are written off over the estimated life of the asset.

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.

Other properties

Properties are shown at professional valuation as at 31 December 1998.  Valuation of a nominal £1 value has been placed upon the Church House and the Church Hall as at that date it was not intended that these properties would be disposed of.

Investments

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December.

Current assets

Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the COIF Charity Investment Fund or at the bank.

Volunteers

The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF
ST FAITH’S, HAVANT

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2009 which are set out on pages 13 to 25 is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘The Regulations’) and Section 43 of the Charities Act 1993 (‘The Act’).

This report is made to the members of the PCC in accordance with the terms of my engagement.  To the fullest extent permitted by law I do not accept any responsibility to anyone other than the PCC for this report.

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and examiner

As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statementas; you consider that the audit requirement of ‘The Regulations’ and section 43(2) of the Act do not apply.  It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition, issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishop’s Council.  That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records.  It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s 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 41 of the Act; and

·       to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or

2              to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
