All Saints with Holy Trinity Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is responsible for the maintenance of the All Saints Church building and leases Fearon Hall to Fearon Hall Community Association. From January 2021 to October 2021 Rosebery St Peter’s was leased to Loughborough Inclusion Partnership and has stood vacant since. The field is leased to 3M.
The PCC intends both public benefit and growth in our church. As part of the Inclusive Church network we seek to be a place where everyone can find a welcome and participate fully in the life of the church regardless of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality.
The PCC gives consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion, when reviewing the church’s aims and objectives and planning future activities and policies.
Worship and Prayer
2021 continued to be affected by the pandemic. With a large building we were able to return to in person services with appropriate risk assessments in place. We continued to make use of social media platforms, video conferencing software and Youtube to stay connected with the congregation and wider community. We were also able to embed a regular pattern of live streaming our main morning services which has been gratefully received by those unable to attend in person.
Our pattern of daily prayer has continued both online and in the church building and a new weekday weekly Evensong has been introduced along with recommencing our midweek Communion service.
At the end of 2021, there were 137 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 102 of whom are not resident within the parish. During 2021, 4 people moved away and 1 person left the electoral roll through death.
As well as our regular services, we enabled our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. Despite the restrictions of 2021 we were still able to have celebrated 3 baptisms, 4 weddings and to conduct 6 funerals.
Deanery Synod
Three members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PCC (continued)
The PCC regularly reviews levels of reserves as part of the budgeting procedure. The PCC believes the current level of reserves is adequate, but needs to be held at a similar level to meet the uncertain demands of a medieval church building, comply with modern legislation, guarantee proper payment of salaries and other financial commitments.
The PCC considers that an appropriate level of unrestricted reserves in the short term as at 31st December 2021 would be at least £76,000. This is based on an estimate of on-going unrestricted expenditure for a minimum six-month period next year based on the forecasted unrestricted expenditure for 2022 (£150,700). The current value of the unrestricted funds as at 31st December 2021 is £80,604.
The majority of the work of the PCC is carried out by volunteers; administrative, practical, pastoral and missional activities are all largely undertaken by people freely giving their time and talents. Our thanks are due to each one of them who help in and around church and serve in so many different ways.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our Rector), churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/ members of the congregation 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 deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.
The full PCC met 7 times during the year with smaller sub committees overseeing detailed aspects of the trustees’ work. In 2021 these included:
Finance & Stewardship Conservation & Development Safeguarding Staffing Standing Committee
In addition, PCC members are involved with a range of activities within church life including social events, children’s work, pastoral care, promoting charitable partners, publicity and key outreach events, the Summer Fete and the Christmas Tree Festival.

I report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 10.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
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 PCC 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 you as members of the PCC 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 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
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.
