The Parish of St Bede with St Clement Toxteth Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the Year ended 31[st] December 2022

The Parochial Church Council present their annual report for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and the Charities SORP 2005.

Structure, Management and Governance

The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Powers Measure 1956. The Parishes of St Bede and St Clement became a united benefice and on 28[th] June 2012 under a pastoral reorganisation scheme became a united parish and is now known as the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Bede with St Clement Toxteth.

St Clements was a registered charity and St Bedes an Excepted charity, It was agreed with the Charity Commission to change the name of the registered charity to St Bede with St Clement and retain the same charity number held by St Clements.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church members are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. No member of the PCC received any remuneration and no staff are employed, a verger fee is paid to church officials to cover funerals on a casual basis.

Agency

The PCC acts as agent for the following:-

Objectives and Activities

The PCC (Powers) measure 1956 states that the PCC ‘is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’

Our key objective as a church is to love God, one another and ourselves and to love and serve our local community. We aim to live out our faith and to deepen our relationships with other Christian’s who both worship and minister in our parish.

As a church we work to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. We have two worship centres which provide us with good opportunity to engage with the local community as the buildings each offer different and complementary ways to carry out worship and community activities. At present both buildings are financially viable.

Our commitment to building ecumenical relationships is reflected through our regular contact with other Christians, both ecumenically and within the Deanery and the relationship we have with the two congregations (the Iranian church and Apostolic Church Liverpool, worshipping in our church buildings) learning together and sharing our talents and our spaces. Additionally, as the parish has a large proportion of residents who are Muslim, we continue to develop the interfaith contacts which are so important in this context.

We will respond to local, national and international disasters. We continue to offer food, clothing and donated household items to those in need and other charities including the Whitechapel centre and shop,

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Discipleship

The church warden, in an interregnum, takes on even more duties, and we are fortunate that our warden, David Thomas is very experienced and we give thanks for his commitment to the task .Along with Paul Strickland and David Roughley they have ensured that our services have been maintained and we also give thanks for the visiting clergy and readers who have supported us during the year.

We give thanks that Helen Strickland and Neil Bishop have ensured that the young people’s ministry has always been available despite fluctuating numbers.

The PCC has an important role in supporting the church warden, ,Anna Bishop as secretary ,Doreen Lewis as Electoral roll officer and for greeting people on a Sunday, Eileen Roughley for caring for the elderly and catering and Sue Arnold for her support at the Food Market. Linda Thomas, although not a member of the PCC supports David Thomas, the church warden stepping in to fill the gaps and arranging the cleaning of the buildings.

Our numbers worshipping fluctuate but we are encouraged by new members and the friendly fellowship and support for one another which exists and which is commented on by visiting clergy and readers.

Electoral Roll:

There are 45 (2020 50) names on the Electoral

Financial Review

The surplus for the year on the unrestricted funds was £3,227 before a transfer to the St Clements building reserve of £2,397 in respect of donations for the replacement of the cooker and Kitchen improvements not spent and a transfer from the St Bede’s building amortization of £2,135 leaving a surplus of £427 (2021 deficit £7,573). Our finances have been greatly helped by Central Church and Diocesan grants of £1k and 2.2k (2021£5.6k) for heating and parish share support respectively. In 2023 we have received a heating grant of £3.5k from the Central Church. Our parish share £9.8k is one of the lowest in the deanery bearing in mind the cost of a vicar is circ £60k pa. We are fortunate that we have been able to hire our buildings to other Christian fellowships and community groups bring in £17.3k (2021 £6.4k). It is clear that we would not exist on our giving. Our Harvest collection, £896 went to Water Aid, (2021 £544) went to support the work of TEAR Fund, Our Thanksgiving day collection £841 was for internal improvement (2021 £1,250) went to MOWLL a local charity supporting social; inclusion for people with learning difficulties and brain injuries. Our Christmas day collection £269 went to the Whitechapel Center, a local charity for the homeless, (2021 £161). Our charitable giving from our own income represented 6.88% (2021 8.60%)

In summing up, we are financially viable because of our hire income from our buildings and the generous giving. The overall giving needs to improve and be regular, the funding of the mission of the church is all our responsibility.

Buildings

St Bede

We had two repairs to the floor in the hall as the floor was sinking in places, one near entrance and the other in the kitchen, both believed to have occurred because of a small leak in a pipe, that caused the floor and joist to rot, the pipe and joist replaced.

The annual service to the main central heating system found the water pressure was going down and a leak was found in a pipe high up in the room with the boiler in, that is behind the old organ area. The annual fire extinguish check was done

St Clement

The main job was floor down the aisle, when the floor was raised to level the floor years ago, joist not put in the correct place so floor started to collapse in places. It was decided to take up the in both aisles and put new joist in the correct places and a better wooden floor down.

When the old hall was taken down and the new toilet was built the schools 1[st] world war memorial was taken down, the PCC decided it should be put up again for people to see. It is now in entrance near the vestry and toilet.

Annual central heating and fire extinguish checks carried out.

The church had a Quinquennial Inspection in 2022 and a number of jobs will have to be carried out in the next 5 years.

Children and young people’s work

At the beginning of 2021 we were still in lockdown, and even when we were in church, we didn’t have Sunday school due to the problems around social distancing. In September we felt able to start face to face Sunday School again Neil Bishop and Helen Strickland led this on alternate weeks, with the other person helping. Attendance was a bit sporadic at first, but has settled down over time. Often there are only one or two children, though on occasion there have been more. The children enjoy themselves, and some have been attending regularly. We use the Roots on the Web materials, which gives ideas for different ages and is based on the lectionary readings, so is usually on the same theme as the main church service.

The Ladies Fellowship

Sadly the ladies fellowship no longer meets, age and long term illness has taken its toll on members. Some keep in touch by regular telephone conversation, and some are able to attend church on the odd occasion.

Food Market In 2021, after opening the Food market on 4 January, we had to close the market again till 22 March due to the pandemic. However, since we came back in March, the Food Market ran all through the rest of the year and was able to continue achieving the purpose of alleviating food poverty in the local area.

Basic Stats

Below is a brief SWOT analysis of the Food Market in 2021.

Strengths

The Parish of St Bede with St Clement Toxteth Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the Year ended 31[st] December 2022

Food Market con’t

Weaknesses ● The fact that we only receive food items from Fareshare is a notable weakness. The initial lockdown in 2020 meant that we had to be taken off the list of those who were able to collect food items from Tesco and we’ve been on the waiting list ever since. ● Our attempts to apply to receive free food from other organisations that offer such a service have always been aborted due to their request for documents like a Food Safety rating certificate. ● The number of volunteers reduced due to either taking up new employment underlying health conditions which made them more vulnerable to COVID. Opportunities ● We’ve had occasional donations from passers-by while the market is ongoing. ● We have also received some clothing donations which are now being put up for those who need them in exchange for a small donation. ● The Apostolic Church congregation has shown interest in making occasional donations to the market. (They began with a donation of £100 at the beginning of 2022.) ● We are in an ongoing partnership with Granby Toxteth Development Trust (GTDT) which sometimes leads to the provision of free hygiene packs for market users. Threats ● Since the initial lockdown, weekly attendance at the Food Market has gone down, leading to less income (but this is now being reversed with the intake of a new volunteer, Lee, who has been instrumental in driving in more market users whenever the market is open). ● The Fareshare membership price is going up beginning in April 2022—at a time when we are looking to possibly increase our weekly delivery kg from 120kg to 160kg. A Volunteer Appreciation Lunch was held in December and a survey was conducted via one-onone interviews and chats with some of the market users to assess how the market has helped them in 2021 and to receive their feedback on what could be improved upon. Those interviewed expressed their appreciation of the project. Some expressed their desire to see more variety in

the products available to the market users however, Fareshare has been clear that they could not guarantee this.

In summary, the Food Market continues to run with a good potential for sustainability.

Deanery Synod

There were several synod meetings in 2022. Below is a summary of what was discussed.

Fit for Mission

This is the proposed restructuring of deaneries, so that ideally the deanery works as one unit, rather than many separate parishes. This has been trialled in Wigan, and the process is taking place in West Derby and Huyton. Toxteth and Wavertree Deanery is lined up to be in the next cohort to take place in the process.

The idea is that the deanery will become one big parish, sharing resources and jobs like treasurer and administrator. The aim of this is to have a bigger church making a bigger difference. This, and the pros and cons have been discussed at length at Deanery synod. Some churches and clergy are in favour whereas others have more doubts about whether it will work. It has affected our church in that as the future structure of the Deanery is unclear, our place in it, and whether we will be able to have a vicar, half a post or will need to join with other churches in the Deanery has been uncertain. We have not therefore been able to start the process of looking for a new vicar. We are also under pressure to join with another church or group of churches in the lead up to fit for mission. It is possible as an individual parish to opt out of Fit for Mission, but this would leave a church very isolated.

Living in Love and Faith

It was hoped that the Deanery could run a “Living in Love and Faith” course, but for various reasons, this sadly hasn’t happened.

Deanery Synod (Cont’d)

Parish Share.

Parish share, which is the money each church pays to the diocese every year to pay for clergy salaries and the other costs that the diocese has, has also been discussed at length at Deanery Synod. The Diocese used to determine the amount paid by each church, depending on the area and size of each church. Now the

deaneries are told how much they have to find for the whole deanery, and are expected to decide for themselves how to share the costs. This is a fraught subject as most churches would like to pay less, and many churches are not in a good financial state.

Helen and Paul Strickland are our reps on Deanery Synod. If you have any questions or suggestions, please talk to them.

Safeguarding Report

During 2022, we have appointed Paul Strickland as the Lead Recruiter to sign Sections W, X and Y on DBS applications submitted via THIRTYONE Eight, the Church of England’s contracted Umbrella Body. Paul was appointed following the departure of the Incumbent, who had previously held the role.

Neil Bishop remains the Additional Recruiter, able to sign Sections W and X. Clergy and Lay Readers receive safeguarding training and DBS checks via recruiters appointed directly by the Diocese.

Sunday School continued during 2022, following its post-covid restart in Oct 2021. A register has been kept at both St Bede and St Clement. The Sunday School, has been run by 2 persons alternating the lead. Both have been DBS checked.

The Parish Safeguarding Officer reported one incident to the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser during 2022. While the details of the incident must remain confidential, it should be stressed that the incident did not involve any activity supervised by the PCC of St Bede with St Clement. St Bede with St Clement is aware of and endorses:

a. Promoting a Safer Church. b. Parish Safeguarding Handbook.

c. Safer Environment and Activities.

Neil Bishop Parish Safeguarding Officer

Reserves Policy

It is desirable to have reserves available to meet unforeseen expenditure, a minimum reserve of at least £20k to meet such events is unreasonable. Further reserves of at least three months expenditure is required to maintain the weekly church activity, this amounts to circ £9k, we currently have sufficient cover

Parish Development and Mission Plan

We are currently in interregnum and are endeavouring to maintain a weekly service and pastoral care to the members of the church and making sure we service the needs of the parish as and when required.

We are also engaging with the diocese through the deanery in exploring how we can be active within the FIT FOR MISSION agenda.

We are currently going through the process of seeing which church within the deanery best fits us partnering with especially recognising the diversity of our congregation, this is ongoing.

Although in recent years we have lost ten members though age, illness and death more recently we have gained six new members and two have returned to worship with us.

Which is encouraging.

We are also thankful for the encouragement given by the visiting clergy.

Plans for the future

Due to a number of issues affecting the Church of England, finance, aging congregations a lack of clergy and in particular clergy not wanting to come north has impacted on our Diocese. The Bishops and .and the leadership team have adopted policies to address these issue, one being the FIT FOR MISSION agenda, this calls for smaller deaneries, parishes joining together to make larger parishes with reduced clergy. This is proving a painful exercise for many and we have been faced with exploring who we, as a parish, would like to partner with as a n

incumbent will not be appointed to . our parish. This is ongoing and the PCC is endeavouring to secure a partnership that will recognise our diverse congregation. Until this is achieved our church services will be maintained by Paul Strickland, a lay minister and David Roughley, a lay minister with permission to officiate plus the support of retired clergy, clergy in the deanery and lay ministers from other deaneries and we are thankful for their support.

Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the

Year ended 31st December 2022

Independent Examiners Report to the Parochial Church Council

This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 st December 2022 which are set out on the annexed pages is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2007 (‘the Regulations‘) and S.143 of the Charities Act 2011.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

As Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of S144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply 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. That 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 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 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

(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.
