## **The Saltway Team**
The Church of England in Droitwich Spa-Salwarpe-Hindlip-Martin Hussingtree
**The Saltway Team Annual Report 2020**
## **Introduction**
The Saltway Team consists of two adjacent parishes.
**The Parish of Droitwich Spa,** encompasses the town of Droitwich Spa (population of 23,000), which is 6 miles north of Worcester. There are four CofE church buildings and one further burial ground.
- St Augustine’s Church – Droitwich (Dodderhill)
- St Andrew’s Church - Droitwich
- St Peter’s Church - Droitwich
- St Nicholas’ Church – Droitwich (not used on Sundays)
- St Mary’s Churchyard (church building was demolished in 2012)
**The Parish of Salwarpe and Hindlip with Martin Hussingtree** is to the south of Droitwich (population of 5000). It is an area of rural farmland, with the half of the larger village of Fernhill Heath to the south and two large housing developments (1500 residents) that border the Parish of Droitwich Spa. There are three CofE church buildings and one further burial ground.
- St. Michael's Church - Salwarpe
- St. Michael & All Angels Church - Martin Hussingtree
- St. James Church - Hindlip (not used on Sundays)
- Spellis Green Burial Ground - Fernhill Heath
Each parish is governed by its own Parochial Church Council (PCC).
We aim to be a unified team of congregations and associated life of the church, supporting one another in our mission to **Worship God** , to **Grow as Disciples of Jesus** and to **Serve the Local and Wider Community** .
This report summarises the activity of the parish in 2020 and includes:

## **Activity of the Saltway Team in 2020**
The Covid 19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the activity of the Saltway Team in 2020.
Our response to the situation began in March 2020, when the government lockdown required that all of our in-church events and gatherings ceased.
In the initial stages of the pandemic in March, the first response was to compile a pastoral database with contact details of those in our congregations. This facilitated the means to keep in contact with the congregations and those who are connected with the life of our churches.
As many in our elderly congregations do not have access to the internet, a monthly mailing that included a monthly newsletter, devotional resources, service booklets, mental health advice, posters and a range of other resources, was sent to everyone in the database.
A phone ‘helpline’ was also set up and was important in keeping in touch with the congregations. A ‘buddy system’ was proposed, but the natural friendship networks proved to be more effective in keeping in touch with people in the congregations.
On-line ‘Zoom’ services were introduced in May, and a pattern of 9.30 ‘Traditional’ and 11.00 ‘Contemporary’ Sunday services enabled a way of continuing to gather to worship despite the restrictions.
A Wednesday morning service of Morning Prayer also proved to be an important time for many.
Zoom was chosen in preference to a pre-recorded service as it allowed some social interaction. The Zoom services included some time in ‘breakout rooms’ to allow the opportunity to meet, to chat and to pray.
Seasonal provision continued wherever possible, with an All Souls service and memorial card and a pre-recorded Christmas service.
The Saltway Team Annual Report 2020 - Page 3
Comprehensive Christian Copyright licenses were purchased for St Andrew’s from CCLI to ensure our on-line services are streamed legally. The other buildings have no CCLI Cover.
As restrictions eased in September, we were able to commence some inchurch services. Following Church of England and government guidance, risk assessments were carried out and operating procedures and forms of service were developed to ensure the services could be provided as safely as possible.
A pattern of limited and careful opening was introduced, with traditional services at Salwarpe, St Augustine’s and St Peter’s and a contemporary gathering at St Andrew’s.
All of the in-church services have been Eucharistic, with the congregation receiving communion in one kind (wafer only). The peace was retained, without handshaking or moving around the church buildings.
A handbook was circulated to explain the operation of services, setting out the need for booking in, travel to church, access to the church buildings, masks, hand sanitation and social distancing.
It is a sadness that singing is not allowed, but music has still been included in the services where possible.
Funerals continued throughout the pandemic. Initially graveside services with a limited number of mourners were carried out. As restrictions were lifted, gatherings of up to 30 people have been permitted in church buildings and crematoria provided masks were used. No singing was allowed.
Very few weddings or christenings were performed, and the team faces a significant backlog of people wanting occasional offices when restrictions are lifted.
The requirements for social distancing made bell ringing difficult, but some limited ringing was possible under protocols developed by the tower captains.

Clergy continued to support local schools, in particular in governance roles at St Peter’s CofE school and Hindlip CofE school. Visitors are not able to visit the schools during the pandemic.
Clergy improvised to ensure the basic finance and fabric needs continued.
Unfortunately, the post of Team Administrator was made redundant in November and clergy took on the administrative functions.
## **Fabric**
Fabric issues that were identified and remedied include the repair of the boiler at St Andrew’s, faults with the phone line into the Parish Centre, fire extinguisher and lightning conductor testing and some minor repairs and general maintenance.
The churchyards required constant maintenance. Kevin Hyett was contracted to look after St Mary’s. The churchyards at St Peter’s and St Mary’s benefited from maintenance work done the probation service, offered to the PCC at a very low cost. St Augustine’s was maintained by a small team of committed volunteers, who have continued to look after the churchyard throughout the pandemic. A vault collapse was repaired at St Augustine’s. A large vault collapsed in Salwarpe churchyard and required extensive remedial work.
St Peter’s and St Andrew’s ordered new noticeboards to replace the existing broken ones.
Previous working parties had noted a number of minor repairs that will be addressed by a local contractor.
The scaffolding remains in St Andrew’s as the ceiling repairs have not started. A faculty granting a further year’s extension to the placement of the scaffolding was granted.
A consultant has developed, on behalf of the PCC, a Heritage Lottery Fund bid to secure funds for the roof and ceiling repairs needed at St Andrew’s. Unfortunately, the Heritage Lottery Fund was closed during the pandemic, but HLF will reopen in 2021, when it is hoped that the bid can be finalised and submitted.
The Saltway Team Annual Report 2020 - Page 5
## **Parish Share**
The Saltway Team faces a serious issue relating to the underpayment of Parish Share. This is the payment made by the team to cover the Diocesan costs, most of which goes towards the cost of clergy.
In 2020, the Saltway Team offered over £79,000 towards the cost of ministry, but this represents less than half of the cost of the resources allocated to the team.
Until recently, the shortfall in Parish Share was subsidised by Worcester Diocese, but unfortunately, in recent years, the diocesan reserves that have been used to subsidise under payment of share have become exhausted.
There is an urgent need to either increase what is offered to afford the cost of ministry, or the team will face further reductions in resources.
The need to address this issue will be a priority for the PCCs in the next few years.
The team will need to look afresh at how we use our clergy and resources. This may require some significant changes to our pattern of services across the team as the PCCs look to invest in growth.
The Saltway Team Annual Report 2020 - Page 6
## **Governance – Parish of Droitwich Spa**
## **Parochial Church Council (PCC)**
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. Since 2009 the parish of Droitwich Spa has been a registered charity number 1128487. The PCCs has the responsibility of co-operating with the clergy in promoting the whole mission of the Church.
## **PCC Sub-Committees**
Under normal circumstances, some of the operation of the congregations at St Augustine’s and St Peter’s is delegated to management committees. These sub-committees of the PCC discuss rotas, practical issues and church fabric. A ‘global issues group’ promotes activity outside of the team, such as Christian Aid Week, Fairtrade and other charity appeals. None of these sub-committees met during the pandemic.
## **Report on the Proceedings of Droitwich PCC**
The PCC met three times in this reporting period, using ‘Zoom’.
The meetings began with prayer and included time for “news” and communication so that the PCC can hear about the activities across the team. A report of activity of the deanery synod is also included.
Each meeting has a report from the treasurer, including progress against the PCC agreed budget. In addition, a report on fabric is also given to each meeting. Safeguarding and Health and safety are standing agenda items.
At the beginning of each PCC year elected members are reminded about the role of the trustees and good governance. PCC procedures are agreed that relate to Safeguarding, Data Protection, Health and Safety and Admitting Children to Holy Communion.
Other issues discussed during 2020 were, the agreement of 2021 fees, Lent study and services, the appointment of Eucharistic Assistants, Covid restrictions, articles of enquiry, Christmas services, and the purchase of Saltmine Theatre Company ‘Hark’ presentation. Parish Share was discussed on several occasions.
The Saltway Team Annual Report 2020 - Page 7
Clergy have kept the PCC up to date with the response to the suspension of worship and the response to the Covid pandemic through emailed updates.
During the pandemic our parish office was also forced to close our Parish Administrator was not able to work. The booking of occasional offices and financial and other correspondence was undertaken by the clergy throughout the pandemic. Given that the PCC has such a large deficit, and that the needs for administration have shifted, Following a number of very balanced and mature conversations with Karen Aston the decision was made to make the role of Parish Administrator redundant.
The role of the office and our administrative functions will be reviewed in the coming year in order to assess what is needed as we reshape the pattern of ministry once restrictions are eased.
As no diocesan admissions of wardens service was possible,
churchwardens swore an oath of allegiance at the Zoom PCC meeting on the 25[th ] of November.
## **Safeguarding**
The PCC is aware of its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. All of the necessary procedures have been agreed and adopted by the PCC. Our safeguarding officer is Judith Trevor, who has used the safeguarding toolkit to ensure the parish complies with the standards and procedures.

## **Incoming Resources**
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the PCC is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
## **Resources Expended**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted 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. Other funds which are designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
## **Parish Share**
The Parish Share represents the amounts paid to the Diocese of Worcester (‘Diocese’) in order to fund ministry in the Diocese of Worcester. The Diocese requests an amount each year, however this is not a legal debt. It is the Parish intention to pay the amount in full, however it currently does not have sufficient funds to do so. As the debt is not legally enforceable and the Parish has not made a formal legal commitment to pay the requested amount for Parish Share to the Diocese, the Parish Share recognised in the Income and Expenditure account represents the cash paid to the Diocese.
## **Reserves**
Reserves are held to ensure that planned and committed expenditure over the next five years can be met. Unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) are held to meet a minimum of six months budgeted expenditure and to enable the PCC to fulfil its planned and committed expenditure over the next five years which are not covered by restricted funds.
