## **Christ Church Dore 2022 Annual Report for the APCM** 

1 




## **Welcome for all** 

“We seek to love and follow Jesus - with the same heart as him, the same love and joy as him, and the same welcome. No exceptions. No one is excluded. No one “not good enough.” 

We want to live lives that are like Jesus, finding our identity as God’s beloved children. If you have felt “hurt by religion”, or damaged by your experience of the church, we want to be part of the healing. 

So whatever your physical ability, colour, education, gender, sexuality, whether rich or poor, Jesus invites you to belong to his church, and to feel at home in his love and care and delight for each one.” 

## **Aim and purposes** 

We were fortunate to have the Reverend Andy Patrick licensed as our Priest in Charge on 1[st] November 2021.  Andy has now completed his first year with us, and it has been a year of growth, attracting more young families and older people new to the parish. Along with him, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility in promoting the whole mission of the Church, which include pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church building and the Community centre (which is managed by a separate committee made up of church members). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The PCC is committed to enable as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. PCC maintains an overview of worship and makes suggestions as to how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice, through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. 

The aims and activities of the PCC are in accordance with the guidelines on public benefit and are expressed in our mission statement: 

2 




## _**Christ Church Dore invites everyone:**_ 

## _**To worship and to learning that renews and refreshes our relationship with God,**_ 

## _**To be a member of the family of God’s people, to meet and provide mutual help and support,**_ 

## _**To be an agent of the Christian gospel in the wider community**_ . 

These aims and activities can be summarised as: 

- Public worship, to which every resident of the parish is welcome and invited to join 

- Pastoral work, including the ministry of baptisms, weddings and funerals 

- Youth work that involves both church and non-church young people through CCD linked groups such as Pathfinders, 

- The use of the church buildings (church and community centre) by the local school, choirs and other community groups, including a thriving toddler group where local church volunteers provide help for the local community 

- Distributing a proportion of our voluntary giving to other charitable organisations both within and outside the diocese of Sheffield 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Worship and prayer** 

The PCC ensures Christ Church Dore offers a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. 

The church building is open during the day for people to come in for private prayer. 

The pattern of worship is All Age Worship at 10am and Evening Prayer at 5.30pm, each Sunday.  On Thursdays at 10.30 we hold a Communion service. 

Throughout 2022, we have been supported by the worship team, led by our vicar Andy and supported by a number of committed lay members of the congregation. 

Live streaming of the 10am services, available to those who aren’t able 

3 




to come to services in person.  This may be due to illness, being out of the area, or simply still not feeling ready to come back in person due to COVID concerns.  We continue have a small but regular viewing of these services. 

During the All Age Worship, our younger children engage with ‘ **Godly Play** ’. 

## **“In most religious sessions children are told who God is. In Godly Play children discover who God is.” J. Berryman (Founder).** 

Godly Play is a multi-sensory approach to discovering and connecting with God through Bible stories. These stories are given tangible form using high quality, hand crafted figures and objects.  We have also made some of our own resources too. Godly Play is widely and successfully used across the world with adults as well as children. 

This is provided in the nave of the church, along with once a month using the more spacious facilities in the Old School Dore.  It is led by Beth Goodband and Paula Dowson, and is supported by other members of the congregation as numbers require. 



The PCC continues to monitor all services and to see how they can be developed. 

4 





Our **annual church meetings were** held on 17[th] May 2022, a Tuesday evening in church.  With regard to the electoral roll, as of 17[th] May 2022, the number of members on the electoral roll stood at 137. 86 residing in the parish, 48 residing outside the parish, and 3 classified as “other”. 

The average weekly attendance in church, counted during October, was 90 adults and 25 children, including Pathfinders as Fresh Expressions’ church.  We have around 10 people joining the online service on Sunday morning.  Our total worshiping community is around 180, predominately in the 50+ age group, though we are attracting more young families, particularly drawn to the young children’s activities. 

As well as our regular services, we enable 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.  They give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. 

This year we have celebrated 14 baptisms. 

We had 4 weddings this year.  (A reduction from last year, where a number were catch ups from the previous  2 years of Covid restrictions.) There was 6 funeral in our church this year, with 4 services held at the crematorium, and 4 committals of the body and ashes. 

5 




On Good Friday the wooden cross erected was in the centre of the village.  We held a service where we gathered round the cross, offered prayers and sang, inviting passing members of the community to join in. 



On Easter Saturday we held an easter egg hunt in church yard, an open event for the community, inviting families to celebrate Easter. 

Each year Dore village has a number of events that the church joins in with.  These included the annual Songs of Praise as part of the Dore Festival and Scout Gala in July, the Well-dressing service on the village green, also in early July. 

The Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial is a significant event for the village with 100’s of people attending.  Again we put a net up on the side of the church building, to allow the community to remember their loved ones by attaching a poppy or a cross.  We held a small service in church at 10am, before joining the community at the war memorial, where the service was led by our Vicar and the minister from Dore Methodist Church.  The parade comprises the local ATC branch, and scouts and guides, as well as other members of the community. 

6 





We held a light party in church at Halloween, for the younger children. This was a new initiative.

And then it was time for Christmas!
CHRisfcHURLH I ￿RE
CÈLEBRAIECHRtSTITAS￿Ir￿Ls


At the start of Advent, we held a service of Advent Music, led by the Steel City Choristers. 


The Village Lantern parade takes place in on the first Wednesday in December, where many children and their families walk through the village with their lanterns, see the turning on of the Christmas lights, and sing Christmas songs.  CCD had a gazebo with nativity dressing up clothes available, and families could take pictures of their children.  This was very popular. 

This year we held two candle-lit carol services with the community choir. This was very well attended with over 350 people from across the community attending. 


9 




A new initiative for 2022 was Caroloke, where we as a church went into the 2 local pubs, with musical instruments, and sang carols and Christmas songs.  This was very well received. 

We held 2 candle-lit crib services where children were invited to dress up and act out the Nativity story. 


It was wonderful to see so many families in church (over 300 adults and children), with such eager participation by the children, reminding us what a key part of Christmas these events were for so many people. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

The parish priest, any clergy licensed to the parish, two lay members of the PCC and any lay representatives on the Diocesan Synod, are members of the deanery synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. 

10 




## Use of the Church Buildings 

As reported earlier, the church provides 3 services per week, with around 90 attendees on a regular basis across them. We are open each day form 8am to dusk for private prayer and contemplation, and to provide a warm space in these times of need. 

Again this year, the Dore Male Voice Choir to held their Christmas Concert in church.   This runs for 3 nights and is a well-attended community event. 

With regard to the **Church building** itself, at the end of 2022 we finally achieved sign off of the Church of England Faculty Application from the Chancellor for Sheffield Diocese for the reordering project.  The plans are to make the building to be a warm, welcoming and accessible space for all who come, whether for regular services of worship, for special occasions, in times of need, or simply for quiet contemplation. Much has been learnt about the constraints our present building places on our outreach activities, and has supported the framing of the Statement of Needs to support the Faculty application process. 

The aim is to offer a flexible space to better fit the building for future needs, for differing forms of worship and outreach activities.  To be available for use such as for school visits, concerts and other events. Our plans and architects’ drawings are available on our website, and are also exhibited around the village wherever we have a presence. 

Pledges and donations for the Church Development Fund are being received, and fund–raising and outreach activities are being planned for 2023.  The writing of grant applications is in progress, essential if we are to raise sufficient funds for the project. 

This has been a long journey, with a few refinements to the plans along the way, to something we are positive is the right thing to do for our church and local community, for now and the future. 

11 




**Bell Tower** - We are fortunate to have high quality ring of bells and a dedicated team of currently 9 bell ringers led by tower captain Richard Knights. 

They ring the bells for Sunday morning services, for weddings and funerals on request, and for national and village events.  Additionally, three-hour peals are attempted twice monthly throughout the year by a band of mainly visiting ringers, and the bells there are regularly requested by visiting groups of ringers from across the country due to their quality and availability.  The local band demonstrate the art of bell ringing to local people; visiting the tower is a regular activity for local uniformed groups.  A small bell, thought to be part of the original chapel of ease on our site, is planned to be installed in the ringing room to make it safer and easier to demonstrate bell ringing. 

Practise is on Friday evenings, new members are always welcome, and individuals with no experience can be trained from scratch in the ancient English art of change ringing. 


12 




**Christ Church Dore community Centre** (CCDCC) is hired out to a wide range of community groups and the church. 


The refurbishment of the building took place during the summer of 2021. Repaired windows, new lighting and redecorations, along with improvements to the toilet facilities, and a brilliant new kitchen. It was relaunched in September 2021, with an open day for the local community to come in and see the work that had been done.  Since then it has attracted new user groups and many party bookings.  It is now running at a profit for the first time in many years. 

There were many new initiatives, both secular and Christian outreach throughout 2022. 

A concert was held in July as a fundraiser for the Grace Food Bank Sheffield and the CCDCC refurbishment fund.  We were very well entertained by Five Rivers, a local band. The Spirit Café, a drop-in monthly provision of chat and refreshments, with prayer support. 

13 




The Art and Craft group meet there on a monthly basis, and are going from strength to strength. 





The group created knitted chicks and Christmas puddings to distribute throughout the village, containing the appropriate chocolate  treat inside. 

14 




## **Fabric and Redevelopment Report** 

The Fabric and Church Redevelopment Committees merged into one in 2022, as we prepare for the reordering project to begin. Fabric Committee produce a detailed report, of which this is a summary. The routine maintenance schedules continue to be used as the basis for our budgeted maintenance work. They are reviewed on an annual basis. We have also sought more formal scope and price agreements with the various suppliers to the services detailed in the scheduled maintenance work. This has allowed us to control costs and undertake better budgeting. The main areas of work beyond the routine are identified below. 

## **Church** 

The Church five year inspection, The Quinquennial, was completed in 2015. The inspection has raised a number of priority areas both internally and externally and reinforces our need to carry out major refurbishment work as part of the Church Development Project. One particular area of focus is the Choir Vestry roof. This has been leaking intermittently for a number of years and is now damaging the roof timbers and items stored in the Vestry. In the short term a temporary surface has been laid on the roof to prevent further water ingress and damage. 

This package of work will be the first phase of the reordering project, essential so that the rooms can dry out in readiness for the enhancements to come. 

The Quinquennial inspection took place at the end of 2021, and we are awaiting the report from our Architect.  We will re-establish what work can be held until the reordering project begins, or whether there is anything that should be done immediately. 

This year we achieved the silver award from A Rocha Eco church scheme.  To achieve the gold award we will need to make significant changes to our building, particularly from an energy efficiency perspective.  It is hoped that following the reordering project we will be able to achieve this. 

15 




## **Churchyard** 

We are a closed churchyard, and formally it is the responsibility of Sheffield City Council. 

We are appreciative of the continued efforts put in by volunteers for the care of the churchyard.  They keep the various flower beds in order, and have created colourful displays close to the entrance to church, refreshing them each season.  They trim the shrubs that sometimes seem to take over, particularly amongst the graves where relatives are no longer around to care for them. 



16 




In July and October we held a ‘Rake and cake’ Saturday in the churchyard, where volunteers, both church and community, came to clear areas, plant bulbs, and prepare it for the summer and winter. 


We are developing plans to use the churchyard as a wildlife haven, with the balance of respect for the graves and memories of people buried there, with the opportunities for wildlife, butterflies, insects etc to thrive. This is a continuing work-in-progress.  In particular for 2022 was the refreshing of the Memorial Garden, with the planting of new rose bushes to add colour and fragrance to this place. 

In January 2022, we employed a ‘Eco Project assistant’ for 6 months, through the DWP Kickstart programme.  Their key area of work with us was in the churchyard, making it a beautiful space, respectful to the memories of loved ones who have been interred there.   This was instrumental in achieving the A Rocha silver award, working alongside the Diocese Eco team. 

17 





Prior to lockdown, we paid the probation service to come and cut the grass in the churchyard.  We employ a gardener to cut the grass, complimenting the re-wilding aims for the churchyard as a whole.  We continue to use the council green bin scheme to assist with the disposal of Churchyard green waste. 

## **Christ Church Dore Community Centre (CCDCC)** 

In 2019 a ‘quinquennial’ report was commissioned by the PCC on the condition of the fabric of the CCDCC.  Fabric Committee had been steadily working through the prioritised recommendations.  Much of this had been taken on board by the refurbishment project.  Enhancements have continued throughout 2022. 

## **Parish Office** 

This has been in service for several years now. It works very well.  The project is now complete with the re-tarmacing of the area outside the Parish Office is completed.  We are working with the Old School Trust on formalising the access to the office across a footpath that they own.  It is hoped this will be completed in 2023. 

18 




## **Pastoral care** 

Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. A member of the pastoral team visits all church members who request it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital, as well as bereavement visits. 

## **Mission and evangelism** 

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. At the end of each year, we have a Gift Day to raise money to give to our World Mission partners.  Due to the number of other events at the end of 2021, this was moved to the start of 2022.  £3900 was raised, which meant that £650 distributed to each mission partner. 

Our Lent Box appeal for 2022 raised £2143 for the Furnival project in Burngreave, Sheffield, helping with immigrant families in Sheffield. Harvest 2022 this year focused on financial donations, rather the usual food and toiletries.  This raised £1587, which was passed to the Grace Food Bank, Sheffield. 

We have a Church Newsletter that is produced monthly, and is available to all members of our congregations, as well as being shared with cafés, pubs and other businesses around the village.  This keeps parishioners informed of important matters affecting our Church, as well as the various activities we are involved in, to share God’s message. This news is reinforced by our news and notices on our website and our Facebook Page. 

The **Christ Church Dore Ladies’ group** provides a valuable link between the church, the village and the wider community, providing fellowship with talks, presentations and social events through their monthly meetings, started again this year. 

Another opportunity for outreach within the local community is the **Baby and Toddler Group** , held in the Church hall on Thursday mornings, with a Nativity service held at Christmas.  This is very well attended, with often more than 40 children and their carers sharing play and fellowship. Quoting from Katy Sanders’ Toddler group report ‘Helping at Toddler group is a wonderful way of shining God’s love in a very practical way right into the heart of our community’. 

19 




A number of church members are regular volunteers at Grace Food Bank and the S2 Foodbank.  We also have a collection box in the Church porch for donations to this critical cause, which has become more needed during the pandemic.  Church members have contributed financial donations directly to the food bank, whilst the church has been closed due to Covid. 

For many years we have supported the **Genesis Project** .  This involved providing good quality second hand clothes, toys and other items to their charity shop in one of the more deprived areas of Sheffield.  Again in December, our congregations contributed many items, which made a big difference at Christmas for the children and adults living in that area. 

**Pathfinders** (11-18 years old youth group ) meet weekly in the community centre and Ark, for food, teaching and games. The group held their weekend away in Edale which was attended by 26 young people and thoroughly enjoyed by all. 

The group numbering around 25 are very supportive of each other, and are always open to welcoming new members. They are growing in their love and knowledge of the Lord. 



20 




## **Ecumenical relationships/Mission Partnerships** 

The **Local Mission team** met regularly. Their role is to be a point of contact and encourage all the Church family to be involved in local mission & to take a lead in organising and supporting local mission activities. This also covers joint initiatives with churches in our mission area & S17. 

The PCC engages with the Diocesan MAP process – Mission Action Plans.  The Mission Action Plan (MAP 4) was reviewed in the spring of 2022 & shared with the diocese & our church family. It was decided that the plan should be reviewed annually. **This will be done in the early summer of 2023 when the new church leadership team is in place.** It is important to emphasise that this is not a 'paper exercise' but informs our mission as a church and we try hard to put it into practice.  We are also exploring as a church our vision for mission, and we are tying this in with our vision for the Church Reordering project.  The process will involve prayer, reflections, reading & discussions as a church family. 

**Arise Sheffield** is a crossover initiative, part local mission but also ecumenical and partnership working across Sheffield We were involved with the Prayer Walking Initiative from Arise Sheffield where through Lent to Easter we took part in praying for each street in our area and sharing our Faith with the local community.  We shared Valentines hearts, Real Easter eggs and Advent Calendars with groups in our local community. 

**Filling Station** is also an ecumential initiative for which there are 150 churches in Sheffield working together. 

We share **in local mission with Dore Methodist Church** for the village Well Blessing and Remembrance Day at the war memorial.   We are part of the ecumenical ‘ **Prayer for S17** ’ group, which meets monthly alongside a monthly fellowship breakfast. 

**Leadership team** - We are fortunate to have Richard Knights as licensed Lay Reader, and Jill Mitchell as Parish Evangelist.  The rest of the leadership team comprises Martin Blower and Sarah Oxby who have completed their Foundation Course through St Peter’s College, along with Robin Condliffe and Olayinka (Yinka) Oluwole. 

21 




We had been in vacancy since 6[th] January 2019, until 1st November 2021 when Rev Andy Patrick joined us.  2022 has been a year of growth, with new members of congregations, across all ages.  The initiatives from 2021 have grown, in particular with more children attending Godly Play.  We are blessed with the number of people taking on significant responsibilities, sometimes holding more than one leadership role within the church.  Also, with a number of the people in our congregation setting up new initiatives.  This has brought a greater sense of togetherness than has been felt for a while. 

As a Church community we have been very concerned about the often difficult situations and disadvantages experienced by people of colour in this country. We have representatives on the Diocesan BLM committee, and we have forged links with St Mary’s Brammall Lane. 

We recognise that we need to move towards a truly inclusive society, and a worldwide Christian church which embraces people of all races, colour and gender, a diverse and welcoming church. 

## **Financial review** 

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were **£121,245.** Restricted and designated income was **£127,183** . 

These totals include **£21,650** tax recovered from Gift Aided donations. Total unrestricted expenditure was **£107,307,** and restricted/designated expenditure was **£57,037** . 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months' unrestricted payments, which for 2022 would equate to £26750.  The balance of the free reserves at the end of 2022 was **£55,331** . 

The other purpose of reserves is to cover maintenance costs that are required throughout the year.  Whilst this spend has been kept to a minimum as we get ready for the reordering project work to start, we do need to ensure that once that is complete, we have sufficient funds to maintain the church fabric and furnishings going forward. 

More detail can be found in the financial statements and its associated narrative. 

22 




## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. 

Membership of the PCC consists of the priest in charge, churchwardens, elected and ex-officio members of the Diocesan and Deanery Synods, and members elected to the PCC at the APCM.  All those who attend our services and 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. 

Christ Church Dore Parochial Church Council met 12 times in 2022. 

In addition to regular business the PCC has debated various issues relevant to the life of our church including finance, fabric, redevelopment and world and local mission. 

Our Church Safeguarding policy is prominent on our website. The key statement is - 

**Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.** 

23 




Our church safeguarding officer, Yvonne Twelvetree, is connected to the Diocese Safeguarding team and keeps the PCC briefed on changes to safeguarding requirements, and issues surrounding domestic abuse. 

Various groups support the work of the PCC.  Our thanks go to all those who have worked tirelessly throughout the year with 

- the Fabric Committee, 

- the Finance and Personnel Committee, 

- the Building Development Group, 

- the World Mission Team, 

- the Local Mission Team, 

- Pathfinders and leaders, 

- Safeguarding Officer 

- Electoral Roll Officer. 

We employ 3 members of staff, to support the work at Christ Church Dore.  These comprised the Parish Administrator, CCDCC administrator, and church and hall cleaner. 

The Area Dean’s visitation took place in October 2022 (the first one in several years).  CCD passed this successfully. 

All returns required by the diocese (Parish Finance Return, Statistics for Mission Return), along with the Charity Commission return, have been completed on time. 

24

## **Notes to support the 2022 Accounts** 

## **Statement of Financial Activities Report** 

## 1. **General fund – Reserves** 

**At year end this stands at £55,331 which is an increase from last year, when it stood at £41438** _,_ **an increase of £13,893.** This comes primarily from the increases in general giving through the stewardship campaign. 

## 2. **Development Fund –  £67,243** 

This continues to be a Designated fund, ie general funds which the PCC has decided to put to a specific purpose. 

In 2022 it was used for the new church notice board and the legal fees for the Old School Trust arrangement for access to the parish office. 

## **–** 3. **Church Development Fund £193,143** 

To the end of 2022, the amount we have received into this fund totals **£252,654.** This includes interest and Gift Aid, on top of the donations from individuals and fundraising events.  (Line 0570 shows that we have continued to get donations from some members of the congregation). 

As can be seen from the expenditure in lines 1701 and 2920, we are now engaging with a variety of specialists as we finalise the plans for the Church Reordering (for which full approval was achieved in 2022), and start grant fundraising. 

A major pledge was received (where the donor had pledged to give the money when the project was approved). 

Applications for grants and other sources has started, to raise the remainder needed to achieve the changes proposed. 



## **Analysis of income and expenditure report** 

## **Income Section** 

4. **0101 – 0301, 0403 - 0406 –** These codes represent the variety of ways that we have received regular donations from the Church family, for our General Fund. This money supports the day to day needs of the Church, from which we pay our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund, utility bills and general maintenance costs. 

## **Income from these sources this year is £89,539, compared to £76,125 last year.  This is an significant increase thanks to the response to the Stewardship campaign in mid 2022.** 

We have different methods of raising these funds.  As well as the usual standing orders and bank transfers, we also have new technology, with SumUp and Payaz terminal. Payaz is a new terminal that can be left running continually, with easy selection of amounts and tap of card.  However it has been unreliable, and we haven’t had the value of income we were hoping for, particularly at large events. A work in progress. 

5. **0401 – World Mission Gift Day** 

   - The Gift Day for World Mission was moved to the start of 2022, thus in the rather than the end of 2021, as would have happened in previous years. 

- 

- 6. **0501, 0502** These codes represent a variety of ad hoc donations, made for a variety of reasons.  Some are ad hoc or supplementary donations from individuals, and there was a significant increase from that source as part of the Stewardship campaign.  There was one donation as a thank you from DMVC for use of the church for their Christmas concert. 

7. **0550 –** various specific collections in Church.  These donations are listed against code 1820, (with the difference representing the Gift Aid claim we are sometimes able to add on). 

- 

- 8. **0601** We are very ‘Gift Aid’ efficient.  The change in the amount since the previous year is due to the increase in income in 2022. 

   - GA is presented in 3 columns, representing that from General Giving, the other two columns from specific appeals. 

Even though we are very ‘Gift Aid’ efficient, there is still room for improvement. Thus if you pay tax but do not currently Gift Aid your donations, and are willing to consider doing so, please talk with our Gift Aid Secretary. 

But remember, if your circumstances change and you are no longer eligible to claim Gift Aid on your donations, you need to contact us to update our records. The Gift Aid claimed this year is more than last year.  This comes mainly from a very generous donation to the Church reordering project.  Other than that, Gift Aid claimed was lower that last year, in line with reduced General Fund income. 



- 

- 9. **1020** Interest rates have been significantly higher this year.  This has come about due to change in the general economic situation, which impacts on our investments. 

   - We have 2 bank accounts with HSBC, where interest is minimal.  We have an account with CCLA, which pays more interest.  Other investments are managed by the Diocesan Board of Finance with CCLA. 

10. **1101 –** Fees for weddings and funerals.  This is less than last year, now that the catch up following COVID restrictions on larger events is finished. 

11. **1230 -  CCDCC lettings** –This income is restricted to CCDCC (Christ Church Dore Community Centre) Running Costs Fund, used by the management committee to pay their utility bills, general maintenance, etc. There has been a significant increase in this income due to the success of the community centre following its refurbishment and relaunch. 

## **Expenditure Section** 

12. **1820 –** Giving from various collections, (including Gift Aid).  This year comprised 

   - Lent Boxes 2022 collection –The Furnival Project - £2143 

   - Harvest Collection 2022 – Grace Food Bank Sheffield -  £1587 

- 

- 13. **2050 - 2080** During 2022, the PCC employed a parish secretary, an administrator for CCDCC bookings, and a cleaner for the Church and CCDCC. These salaries are divided between the church General fund and the CCDCC Running Costs funds. 

The PCC ensures that conflicts of interest are avoided when determining staff terms and conditions.  No members of the PCC receive any remuneration as a consequence of their PCC duties. 

We are committed to fair reward for work done, and as such, pay as minimum the amount advised as ‘Living Wage’, by the Living Wage Foundation. 

**14. 2240 – Children and Youth Mission, 2250 – Home Mission** 

   - The significant increase here come from our investment in our young peoples work and our outreach to the community.  The majority is the costs of renting CCDCC, the rest being from the occasional use of the Old School and materials for these activities. 

## 15. **2350 – Upkeep of Churchyard** . 

The expenditure reported here comprises 

- the second part of the purchase and installation of the Church Notice board, the work for which was complete in February 2022.  This is paid for out of the Development Fund. 

- Refresh of the Memorial Garden 

- repairs of the equipment for the churchyard and a contractor for maintenance of the shrubbery. 



The Harwood Bequest is a restricted fund, from which the interest can only be spent of the churchyard maintenance.  This year the interest was **£874.42** , significantly higher than the previous year’s **£10.69** . 

## **16. 2301 – 2331, 2401-2420, Utility bills and maintenance of the Church and office** 

This covers the insurance, gas and electricity.  We are fortunate that we are on a fixed tariff until May 2024, which has enabled us to keep on a par for these bills. The increase of the maintenance costs is mainly due the costs of repairing the boiler. 

## 17. **2530-25895 – Utility bills and maintenance for CCDCC** 

This covers the insurance, gas and electricity.  We are fortunate that we are on a fixed tariff until May 2024, which has enabled us to keep on a par for these bills. Some of the increases such as cleaning materials and water comes from the increased usage of the building. 

18. **2801-2830** – This represents the costs for the refurbishment of the CCDCC.  The money comes from the restricted CCDCC Refurbishment fund, donations reported in **0580,** and fundraising in **0950** . 

## 19. **2920 – Building Development – Church** 

Payments have been made to the Architect and other professionals, in line with contracts. This work supports the revision of plans, for submission to the necessary approval parties. 

## 20. **2925 – Building Development – Church Office** 

The expenditure here is for the legal fees as we complete the requirement for a leasing agreement with the Old School Trust for access to the office from the footpath that runs alongside.
