Aims and Purpose & Objectives and Activities The general functions of the PCC are stated within section 2 of the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956.

When planning our objectives for the year, the PCC gave consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of:

2021 wasa very unusual year in many respects, as we ‘unlocked’ and restarted many of our core ministries after the third national lockdown between January and March, many of the normal weekly activities and ministries throughout St Mark’s were able to resume, as detailed below:

T.A.N.G.O. - Staff/Volunteers Community project.

As Christians, we also seek the holistic wellbeing of those who access these services, and opportunities for listening, prayer and connecting with other St Mark’s events. Part of becoming whole is being connected to Jesus, and so we seek to live and share life in ways which share his love.

T.A.N.G.O is coordinated by G. Shaw and the team leaders of T.A.N.G.O., overseen by the PCC’s subcommittee.

During our Sunday morning teaching we have focused on understanding our faith through finishing the series on the Nicene Creed, we explored putting our faith into action through the book of Hebrews, spent the summer in the “I Am” statements of Jesus and ended the year in an Advent series exploring the character of Jesus.

Morning Prayer (now two years old as we write this report), has continued to be a place of meeting, disciple growing and daily prayer for between 20-30 people daily.

One-off events:

Our one-off events are designed to give social and fun opportunities for community to be established, joined or experienced. We always offer high-quality hospitality (free wherever possible), great entertainment and something for most age groups, although youth is our current area which we need to develop. At each expression of community, we also offer an encounter with Jesus and people who join us have an opportunity to respond to the call of God on their lives.

4 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

St. Mark’s Church commits to tithing its offerings, and so 10% of its income is marked out for charitable purposes when the budget is set for the year. St. Mark’s has a Mission Team who prayerfully consider how to use the tithe each year and send reports regularly to the PCC to keep them informed.

During 2021, the Missions Team were given a budget of £20,290. At the end of December 2021, the expenditure was £23,996 but was in line with the overall guidelines of the church.

5 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

All commitments to Global Mission Partners were maintained in 2021. Additional sums were given to Crosslinks, CPAS, Hope Centre and Hand of Hope Romania. Donations were made to The Message Trust and New Wine at the same level as 2020.

Two one-off donations were made to the Tearfund Christmas Appeal and to St. Helens Church in the Square Appeal.

We continued to support the following as our regular mission giving: Tearfund — Harvest

Tearfund — Christmas Appeal Crosslinks including Nerena Nethercoat South Africa Open Doors (Persecuted Church) Compassion (2 children in Peru) and contribution to General Funds , Youth with a Mission Scotland (YWAM) Greg and Shawna Heyes CMS CPAS . Hope Centre Message Trust New Wine Hands of Hope Romania Good News for Everyone (formerly Gideons) Christian Action Research Education

St. Mark’s congregation continued to support the local Foodbank in St. Helens with regular donations of food and toiletries, and an up-to-date list of most needed items has been included in the News Sheet which has been sent out weekly to the church email list. With a new Food Pantry about to launch at the start of 2021, from November our Foodbank donations were redirected to the stocking of the Food Pantry in knowledge that the increased contact with Foodbank through the Food Pantry would ensure all food provision is well stocked.

The Wardens are grateful for the unnumbered hours from volunteers that allows jobs to be done like deep cleaning and painting of rooms. They are grateful to their team of assistant wardens/sidespeople for their work on Sundays with monitoring attendance, offerings and general help with congregation and visitors. As church continued to operate with varying levels of restrictions during 2021, the wardens were grateful for the help of the Welcome Team who assisted in communicating these restrictions in the best possible way.

The PCC wishes to thank our Wardens for their hundreds of hours of faithful service to St. Mark’s during the year, as without their keen eye and servant hearts, St. Mark’s could not be the church it is.

6 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

Clergy: Rev Dan Leathers is the Vicar of St Mark’s, and in June this year we were delighted to welcome Rev Alison Carson as our Self-supporting Curate and Rev James Wallace as our Stipendiary Curate.

Achievements and Performance

During the first few months of 2021, church was closed once more due to national lockdown, and the weekly 10am service moved back to online only.

The church was allowed to reopen for limited numbers just before Easter, and this cap on figures increased at various points throughout the year as restrictions allowed.

The average attendance at the 3pm service is 35 adults, and at no point were limits ever exceeded. The afternoon services were simultaneously streamed via Zoom for those who were wary of attending in person.

The average attendance figures for 10am Sunday services were:

During 2021 there were:

There were no confirmations at St. Mark’s during 2021.

During 2021 our online output continued to grow, with morning prayer 6 days a week on Zoom, the weekly 10am service livestreamed both during lockdown and later when church had reopened, and various other meetings and special events available online for those who couldn't, or were reluctant to, attend church in person, or for times when it simply wasn’t allowed by law. We continue to thank the dedication of our technical team for all their hours of embracing new technologies, including a day’s streaming training in September, and to the congregation for bearing with us through any technical problems that occasionally occur. We were extremely excited in October to welcome the return of the live worship band, who are currently playing at two services a month, and whose music is also streamed to the watching audience. Church holds the necessary licences for livestreaming.

There are many faithful volunteers across the ministries within St. Mark’s. The following section is a snapshot of some of those ministries and their work during the challenge that was 2021. These accounts are written by some of the leaders of these ministries.

Children’s Ministry

All Stars (primary aged children).

We've seen that our Sunday morning numbers have grown and a few new faces have joined us. We are finding that the children in All Stars are on their faith journey especially we see this when they are answering questions, and the answers they are giving are exceptional. They're growing in confidence and love to read out loud the bible verse/story.

Cool Club

On average we have8 - 10 children attend on a fortnightly basis. It is a place where they socialise with others, play games, hear a bible reading and learn some life skills.

Smarties (St. Mark’s Tinies)

Our parent and toddler group meet term time on Wednesday and Friday mornings. We range from 10 - 25 children each session. The children have free play for the first hour then have a time of socialising whilst having toast and a drink. We provide a bible story, craft that is associated with the story and song time. Smarties is a safe place that encourages children to enhance their development skills and a place where adults can discuss and chat about the skill sets that may come in useful in their own children’s development, and just to be with other adults that have faced the same issues that they may be facing too. This year we’ve seen two of our parents/grandparents come to church on a Sunday morning.

We joined together with T.A.N.G.O café to provide gift bags which included a box of cereal during the half term holiday.

Summer Holiday club was Olympic themed, with 31 children attending over the 3-day event. A fun time was had by all with games, crafts, bible story, songs/dance and being fed a healthy lunch each day.

We held events at Easter and Christmas which have been well attended. Lite Night, our alternative to Halloween, had around 20 children attend with crafts, songs/dance, a bible story, games and healthy refreshments. In December, it was not possible to host our usual Christingle service due to the pandemic restrictions, so 500 bags filled with Christingle material were sent into school for each child, along with a video for the assembly. We also created 70 bags for the staff and volunteers at Legh Vale to say Thank You for all that they do. We provided our Christmas walkthrough to the pupils in Year 2 and Year 4.

Youth ministry

From February 2021 when | started working for St Mark’s, | identified that we had a youth group of 4 young people and that this was going to be the core group of youth work at St Mark’s. This gave me a real opportunity to build rapport with the young people.

In November 2021 we used grant funding from the All Churches Trust to be able to invite the Message bus to join us for 6 weeks (on board climbing wall, games consoles, karaoke, nail painting and more). Over these 6 weeks we met over 70 oung people and started to create connections with them. Week by week we started

2] St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

to share short gospel messages with them. This was really the starting point of what we now know as “Voyage” youth group. An Alpha course in Outwood Academy Haydock (formerly Haydock High) was also planned to start in January 2022.

| would like to express my gratitude for the leaders that we have and the hours that they give up on Wednesdays and Sundays to help the young people of Haydock. From the youth leaders, to the people that cook the food that provide the young people a hot meal every week, to the people that pray for the youth ministry at this church, | am very grateful and blessed as the Pioneer Youth Pastor.

Ladies’ Meeting

The Ladies’ Meeting is led by Lynn Smith and Jackie Dutton, with the help of Alvis Frith, Hilda Bond, Joan Murray, Joan Scott and other volunteers. We are a group of ladies from both church and non-church community backgrounds who meet on Tuesday afternoons in the church centre. Everyone is warmly welcomed, and we hope will soon get a sense of belonging. First and foremost, we aim to offer Friendship, Fellowship and Fun within a Faith framework, and we feel we are successful in this. Our activities include speakers from various organisations and churches, but we have social events too and in 2021 we held a very successful afternoon tea for members and community ladies. We had 3 day-trips to Castlefields, Manchester, with lunch on a barge, to Oswaldtwistle Mill and to the Queen Hotel Chester for a Christmas meal and entertainment. It has been encouraging to see new members coming along and enjoying what we are doing. Lastly, in 2023 our Ministry is 100 years old, and we are hoping to mark this important milestone with a thanksgiving and celebration in church.

The Welcome Team have welcomed several new people to St Marks as well as welcoming back people who have only recently returned since the pandemic began. We have created materials for our new welcome packs which are currently being developed. We also have a couple of new volunteers on the team!

The Gardening Team resumed socially distanced work after several lockdowns, having a backlog of things to catch up on, but with the help of around 10 regular volunteers, these things are getting done. The team had 3 new volunteers, including one unchurched, and 1 retiring due to ill health. They hosted an Easter Eggstravaganza and a Summer Gala. Intercessors used the space for weekly meetings, and their singing brought in several people to see what was happening. The Dementia community group held a service led by James Wallace and planted a rose in memory of those lost to COVID. They had visits from 2 community groups interested in making their own garden, and John was involved in a national Zoom meeting, sharing knowledge and the team’s story. In December, Storm Barra threatened to cancel their 'Hope in the Garden’ reflection, however around 25 people met in the Blue Room with prayers, readings and music. They had donations of plants and compost from B&Q, and the wider community. An appeal for used bricks delivered over 200! The team continued to share their harvest with the cafe and community giving freely. Thank you, Lord, for your many blessings, and that the team remained 'mostly' COVID free.

10 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

The Buildings Team consists of six members who look after the church, centre, T.A.N.G.O. warehouse, plus the buildings and fabric of both the curate’s and the associate vicar’s houses. There is always building work required in church, such as the voussoir stones or fagade slipping or the heating system in church playing up. The children and youth office floor was taken up and a new concreate floor laid to fix a long-term buckling issue. The centre has an old heating system that can be temperamental and usually needsa little TLC in September when turned on after the summer. T.A.N.G.O. has a roof that leaks and has been resealed with some success over the summer. We still have an issue with the gutters on the main church roof being full of grass. Anyone who is feeling like they want a bit of exercise could go up and clean them for us! St. Mark’s worship team have not played live in church since the start of the pandemic in 2020 due to the restrictions pertinent to sung worship. The worship leaders have continued to support the church leaders by choosing songs from the iSing app for use in services through until October 2021 when a live band would be used again. As it had been almost two years since the worship team were last together, a welcome evening was held at the end of summer to re-launch the team in anticipation of live band-led worship in the autumn. The team welcomed two new pianists but also had to say goodbye to long-standing members who had moved on to new ministries or those whose job currently prevents them volunteering, so the team consists of ten volunteers as of October 2021. As the team is reduced to two worship leaders, one of whom is also part of the leading and preaching team at St. Mark’s, and one of the bass players is also a vital member of the Sound and Streaming team, it was decided that a live band for two services per month was the most realistic commitment to start with, and iSing continued to be used for other services. This pattern remained for the rest of 2021 due to the small numbers of volunteers. In 2022, it is hoped that new volunteers will be found, but until then, capacity issues for the worship team means that the band unlikely to do more than two services per month.

St. Mark’s Sound and Streaming team is made up of six volunteers augmented, when necessary, by the vicar, curate, and office coordinator. We support all the Sunday morning services and as many mid-week services and activities as people’s work patterns allow. Following the Covid lockdowns and the reopening of church, we are still finding a weekly streaming community of 25 connections during the service on Sunday mornings. We had a working weekend (Friday and Saturday) in church and permanently installed the streaming cameras. A fault was identified with the main system amplifiers resulting from a failed transformer. This was replaced and the system is now fully operational. Looking forward into 2022, we are looking to recruit more people into the team to ease the workload.

St Mark’s Visuals team have found a way to move forward with a limited team by setting out a routine and a rota pattern that makes it easier to sort who is doing what, and this is now working well new. They continue to pray for more volunteers to click through slides and launch various media through our new software package, which has revolutionised service preparation and collaborative creative processes.

“It often takes others to remind me that what I do is a ministry,” says Phil of the Church Office. “| am here to facilitate wnat God wants areas of the church to do. The first 3

Post-lockdown, things quickly got back to how the office SHOULD work, with people often nipping in, needing help with something, or wanting to use a room in church or the centre for their groups, which on top of the general office work meant life was never dull.

Christmas is always the busiest time of the year, with extra services to prepare, but always feels so rewarding when its finished.

LIGHT AND LIFE

In 2021, Light and Life continued to offer online prayer and support, holding their first café in October. We have interacted with over a hundred people. We have a real hunger to grow in our relationship with God and see more signs, wonders and the miraculous, to see others released in the prophetic, and believing God for more of this in our daily lives. In 2022 the team will link with the Food Pantry on Thursdays.

DREAM (an 8pm expressive contemplative service pre-lockdown) During 2021 we continued to meet weekly both on Zoom and in person to share our spiritual journeys, look at bible passages and support each other and the wider community in prayer. Over the last year we have explored different ways of praying including the use of silence. This has included linking with others who are exploring contemplative prayer practice. We also have strong links to the Spiritual Directors’ Network and have engaged with the Living in Love and Faith Programme offering support through the Chaplaincy Service. We are currently considering the future and how we can offer opportunities and space for others to creatively explore their faith and deepen their relationships with God.

PCC Activity

During 2021, PCC held 7 meetings and Standing Committee held 12 meetings. During national lockdowns, meetings were held exclusively via Zoom. As restrictions were eased, a hybrid version of in-person and Zoom continued for the rest of 2021, facilitated by the upgraded streaming capability in church. At Standing Committee meetings, lengthy discussions took place each time Covid restrictions were updated. Throughout 2021, Standing Committee regularly reviewed and updated Risk Assessment documents for activities in church, the Centre and the T.A.N.G.O. Warehouse to ensure that St. Mark’s and T.A.N.G.O. remained compliant with national and local restrictions. In early 2021, PCC discussed whether to operate a Foodbank from St. Mark’s, but discussions with the St. Helens Foodbank showed that people preferred to travel rather than be recognised in their local communities so preliminary discussion was held about how to offer emergency food parcels to those locally who may be struggling. After several months of research, PCC approved a suggestion to run a Food Pantry through St. Mark’s which would benefit people who lived or had children attending school in the catchment area. Food Pantry was preferable because a

  1. St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

Foodbank had a cap on the number of visits by one family, which is not what St. Mark’s wanted to do to support local families who were struggling in the long term. Whilst the opening was planned for late 2021, circumstances outside of St. Mark’s control prevented its launch although it is envisaged that it will open in January 2022. Two members of the congregation constructed a cupboard in the Centre as a storeroom for the Food Pantry.

The gardening contract was not able to be actioned as all quotes came in above the value assigned in the budget. A local football team are using the large field and have offered to maintain it as part of their hire agreement, so a local gardener has taken the rest of the contract.

Lengthy discussions were held at PCC about the Sunday afternoon service as noone had come forward to lead the service team since three key members of the leadership team had been lost, two to long-term health problems and one had died from Covid. A compromise was reached in changing the time to 3pm to allow the clergy to be more involved in the service. Discussions about the morning services were also lengthy and difficult, and the eventual decision was to retain just one morning service and hold it at 10am. PCC recognised that this would suit many congregants, but were acutely aware that some individuals would not be able to accommodate this due to personal circumstances. D Leathers asked that the names of these people be passed to him so that he could have individual discussions with each person affected.

A common theme coming to PCC meetings is the lack of volunteers across many ministries within St. Mark’s, in particular the worship team (band and streaming team), the Children’s ministry on Sunday mornings and for Cool Club, T.A.N.G.O. and assistant wardens (sidespeople) for Sunday services. This is something that is likely to continue into 2022 and PCC were asked to pray into this situation as all of us would know people who has the desire to serve and may not know of particular needs for volunteers.

An overhaul of job descriptions and the generic contract is a work in progress for PCC. Liverpool Diocese do not provide legal assistance around drawing up contracts for individual churches but provided PCC with an example contract to use as a template. Standing Committee did a lot of work on adapting this before presenting it to PCC for comment and approval. It was decided to review job descriptions as vacancies arose, and so new job descriptions have been provided in 2021 for the Office Administrator, T.A.N.G.O. Administrator, T.A.N.G.O. Café Leader and Pioneer Youth Worker.

A work to be completed during 2022 is an overhaul of St. Mark’s policies for employees, which is likely to be carried out by a specially created subcommittee to reduce time needed in PCC or Standing Committee meetings.

Financial review
----- End of picture text -----

The P.C.C. has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested (called ‘the free reserves’) should be sufficient to cover between 4 and 6 months of the general expenditure of the church.

The Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page 28.

At the 31s December 2021, the figures stand as follows: e Reserves £606,426 (£588,587 in 2020) e General Purpose funds £502,247 (£494,971 in 2020), which includes Buildings at a value of £398,275 (£398,275 in 2020) e Restricted Funds £100,911 (£90,298 in 2020), which includes £30,610 in the New Future capital project fund (£32,216 in 2020) e Permanent Endowment fund £3,268 (£3,318 in 2020)

At the 31S December 2021, the free reserves were £103,972 (£96,696 in 2020).
----- End of picture text -----

St. Mark’s is paying a mortgage on 11 Wagon Lane. This is a Capital Repayment on mortgage, so the capital owed will reduce year on year. Standing Committee regularly review whether it is financially beneficial to pay off the mortgage or keep monthly payments, dependent on the current national and local financial position, value of properties locally, and the current nature of St. Mark’s financial position. St. Mark’s Church does not have any loans other than this mortgage. From January — May 2021, 303 Park Street (our designated Curate’s house) was rented out. In June St. Mark’s welcomed the Wallace family into 303 Park Street after James’ Ordination as Deacon and as he took up his role as Curate at St. Mark’s. PCC are aware of a yearly deficit in the budget prepared by the Treasurer. We are delighted that after careful expenditure and a financial review, St Mark’s broke even at the end of 2021. Our budgeted deficit does not take into account unplanned giving particularly in the form of ‘gift day’ each year which is a significant income to the Church.

We were grateful to receive support from various grants and from the Church of England, administered through the Diocese of Liverpool toward our Parish Share contribution, which allowed us to reach and support more people.

The Stewardship Team (comprising Vicar, Treasurer, and other congregants who have financial qualifications or expertise) is normally tasked with looking at current expenditure and suggest ways of reducing the deficit. The team has not met during 2021 and Standing Committee have taken on much of their responsibility. The Stewardship Team will be recalled in early 2022.

14 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

Further financial review details

The PCC’s principal source of income continues to be gifts and donations from members of the church, supplemented by Gift Aid from eligible people’s offerings. Giving by Standing Order is recommended to more robustly generate the estimated income for the year. An envelope scheme for Gift Aid is used by all taxpayers who prefer to give cash. Other sources of income vary throughout the year, but include grants from outside bodies, income generated in the course of the church’s outreach work from activities such as T.A.N.G.O. and hire of the premises.

It is the policy of the PCC to invest fund balances with the CBF Church of England Deposit fund.

The PCC actively reviews the major risks and challenges generated within the church by means of monthly meetings of the PCC and monthly meetings of the Standing Committee, and this will be supported in future years by the newly established Stewardship Team reporting regularly to PCC. The Treasurer gives a formal Report at each meeting of the PCC and provides updates between meetings at Standing Committee.

In early 2021, PCC were delighted to learn that St. Mark’s had broken even financially at the end of 2020 due to various actions during the year, which include the generosity of congregants at Gift Day and the support from central government during the pandemic (for example, the furlough scheme).

During 2021, some reduction in outgoings were seen due to the government furlough scheme paying the majority of wages in some months, but there was not a significant reduction in utility bills due to the buildings still being used during the colder months. The lights around the Centre were linked to the Hive system in January to prevent excess costs if people forgot to turn them off.

Various applications for grants were submitted during 2021. These included the business support grant from the government, for which the Treasurer thanked L Cockram for her time in completing the application. R Bennett (a member of the congregation) has put many hours into securing several grants during the year which have benefitted T.A.N.G.O., Youth and Children’s work and the Food Pantry in the latter part of the year. The PCC is extremely grateful for his support with these grant applications, but also for his commitment to continue informing church of other grants that come up in the future which St. Mark’s may be eligible for.

A letter of thanks was received in January from the local primary school (Legh Vale) who received £400 of toy vouchers from moneys donated by the congregation for the Toy Sunday appeal in December 2020. The letter quoted one family saying, “We are now able to have a Christmas”. The toys donated by congregants were given to another Haydock primary school (Grange Valley).

PCC unanimously voted to offer £1000 as a gift to churches in our quadrant of the Deanery who were struggling financially. D Leathers experienced difficulties during a Zoom meeting with Greg and Shawna Heyes (YWAM) and with the country in

15 St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

lockdown, and so approached the Mission Team to consider a monetary gift to let the family buy a new laptop so that they could work from home successfully, which was agreed.

A significant financial expense arose due to the lifting of the floor in the Children and Youth workers’ office due to a chemical reaction in the red shale in the foundations. This had been found in many properties in the local area, and also noticed in the main body of church in the 1990s but that was dealt with when the church was reordered in 1994. As the rise in this room had increased significantly in the last year and is the working area for the Children’s Pastor and Pioneer Youth Worker as well as part of the fire escape route, the floor was dug out, the foundations treated and the new floor was installed during August to minimise disruption to Children and Youth work, and when church services were naturally smaller congregations to alleviate concerns of removing a fire escape route.

The Quinquennial Inspection had revealed issues with the church roof and failing brickwork in various parts around church, and the architects were brought in to advise on the amount of work that would be considered urgent. Whilst the Buildings Team have not found a roofing contractor willing to clear out the gutters, roof tiles on the extension were repaired, the architect advised that dealing with the failing brickwork around the west gable of the transept wasa priority and this work was completed in the summer at a cost of £12,100 plus VAT. This was not expected and so was not accounted for in the budget for maintenance. Repairs and servicing of roller shutter doors in the Centre has been completed. Efflorescence in the Centre has also been treated, requiring payment for casual labour. A new recording box for T.A.N.G.O. CCTV was purchased so that any vandalism could be properly investigated.

The rental agreement on the photocopier in church had come to an end, and PCC decided that purchasing a new printer was better stewardship than continuing to pay high rental fees for the old machine. This had the benefit of being housed in the office instead of the top of the stairs and thus removed a potential fire risk from the only means of escape from the upstairs offices.

A new camera was purchased to use for livestreaming services. This was considered essential as many people had still been relying on streamed services during 2020 even when people could meet in person, and so PCC decided to continue livestreaming services after pandemic restrictions were removed as services were having many playbacks on YouTube from beyond the local area, even some international viewings. Streaming had also been used for funerals when there were legal restrictions on the numbers attending these services. During 2021, a volunteer in church installed permanent cables for the front-mounted camera along the lighting gantry in church as soon as the faculty was approved, which incurred cost for scaffolding to satisfy health and safety requirements for working at such height. At the same time, D Leathers asked that extra network cables be installed as future proofing for upgrades to prevent scaffolding costs in the future.

The gardening budget was increased (from £4,500 to £5,300) early in 2021 when it was noticed that the cost of hiring skips for the graveyard had not been included.

Standing Committee also asked that the budget for Repairs be increased to £16,500 from its current figure of £10,000 in light of repairs that are currently pending.

The Pioneer Youth Worker was given a start date in February but on reduced hours due to the national lockdown restrictions. PCC considered this was effective use of the money gifted for the position so that the youth worker could be involved in planning and preparing for youth work to start as soon as lockdown restrictions eased.

During the year, discussions were regularly held in Standing Committee about the mortgage payments on 11 Wagon Lane, and whether it would be wiser to pay off a chunk of the capital to reduce mortgage payments. Despite Liverpool Diocese paying a monthly sum towards the continuation of the former Assistant Vicar in the house whilst he worked within Liverpool Diocese, concern was raised that whilst bills were covered, frequent repairs to the house were proving costly. Whenever the discussion arose, it was always considered by Standing Committee that the risk of not having sufficient reserves outweighed the benefit of lower monthly payments. Plans for 2022 ,

PCC are aware of the impact of the increased National Insurance payments and the rise in Living Wage which came in at the end of 2021 and the Treasurer has allowed for these in the budget for 2022.

The Food Pantry will be regularly reviewed to ensure that the current storage space and use of the Centre is sufficient for its needs. Light and Life are exploring how they can be available when the Food Pantry is open. Standing Committee have regularly sensed a need to offer some sort of community financial advice, possibly debt counselling or a credit union scheme, but these discussions are in infancy and this will be prayed into and discussed further during 2022 as the buildings do not have the capacity for meeting space, and people with appropriate financial expertise would be needed.

The Buildings Team was set up to be proactive about maintenance of the buildings in the hope of dealing with problems before they escalated into expensive jobs. In 2019, the Handyman position was not replaced as part of the financial review, and it was hoped that volunteers could pick up the jobs previously allocated to the Handyman. Whilst lockdown has been a contributory factor to a growing list of necessary maintenance, and there are a very small number volunteers that have done many hours of work around the buildings, the Wardens have noted that bought-in labour has had to be used frequently for jobs that a handyman could have done. With this in mind, PCC will discuss whether to reinstate the 10-hour per week handyman role to reduce the cost for external trades people. In the interim, the Wardens have put upa list of specific volunteer jobs in church as a way of reducing payments for casual labour or specialist tradespeople.

Many of the chairs in church require reupholstering as the seat cushions are nearly twenty years old. Unfortunately, the cost of repairing the chairs is higher than the cost of new chairs. Standing Committee have been tasked with researching new chairs, and the hope is that the current chairs could be “sold as seen” to raise money for replacements.

17 ‘St. Mark’s Haydock Annual Report 2021

Concern has been noted that two of the six speakers in church have been replaced during 2021, and as they were all installed at the same time over 25 years ago, the others are very likely to need replacing soon. Allowing for this in their budget will be built into the agenda at the first Buildings Team meeting in 2022. The IT system across the church, Centre and T.A.N.G.O. Warehouse is getting more complex and will need upgrading in the coming years. S Conway has put together a plan for slowly replacing infrastructure and hopes to sell current equipment to offset costs, as it will still be suitable for home systems, even though it no longer supports the requirements of St. Mark’s as a small business. As part of the upgrades, safety nets will be installed to prevent the visitor WiFi in T.A.N.G.O. Café being used to access websites that are incompatible with the ethos of St. Mark’s as a Christian organisation.

T.A.N.G.O. roof leaks continue to be a concern and a temporary seal during summer 2021 seems to be holding for the most part, although a longer-term solution is needed. Liverpool Diocese have approached the Buildings Team to do a review of eco-friendly energy across the church, Centre and T.A.N.G.O. warehouse, which is scheduled for early in 2022. The soffits, facias and guttering of the Curate’s house (Park Street) have been in urgent need of repair for two years but lockdown issues and lack of contact from the company contracted to do the work has delayed this. As of December 2021, the Wardens and representatives from Standing Committee are actively working to resolve this. Rev lan Hopkins, previously the Associate Vicar at St. Mark’s, has continued to work within the Liverpool Diocese who have paid rent for his family to remain in the Wagon Lane house whilst his children complete their education. Standing Committee have been informed that he is likely to move out of the area when his licence expires in the summer of 2022, at which point it is expected that St. Mark’s will sell the Wagon Lane house.

T.A.N.G.O. Report

(including Performance, Achievements and Financial Review)

T.A.N.G.O. started 2021 in another mandatory government lockdown, that did not lift fully until May 2021. This had a negative impact on T.A.N.G.O. financially and the isolation also impacted upon some staff and volunteers more than others. May 2021 — We launched our Outdoor Dog Friendly Café, which proved hugely popular with the community and lots of new people soon became regulars to the outdoor café, with or without their pets. Below you can see a summary of the weekly income figures for 2021, compared to the previous year.

After living through the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and isolation, there were still on-going concerns over the virus, in particular vaccines still not yet available for most of the year, masks were worn in public but not in the café whilst seated. For some, lockdown had brought on great anxiety whilst others had enjoyed family time. Staff and volunteers, particularly people with ongoing health concerns, had had time to reflect and re-evaluate, added with the increased growth and demand in the café, some of the staff and volunteers decided it was time for a change: some retired and some moved on to new things.

What did that mean for T.A.N.G.O.?

Our kitchen assistant, café team leader (head cook) and administrator have all retired for various reasons within months of re-opening.

Due to the Covid pandemic the previous year (2020) a large amount of accrued holiday had to be carried forward into 2021 in line with Covid-specific holiday accruement guidelines and employee entitlement.

It had been decided that the café assistant role would not be replaced, as a way of making savings within T.A.N.G.O.

,

The café team leader and administration role could only be advertised once PCC had amended and approved job descriptions, as the position of paid assistant chef was not going to be replaced. The decision was then made to complete the recruitment process in 2021 but the new staff would not start until T.A.N.G.O. re-opened in the new year of 2022 — this was to make further savings on the monthly wage bill and to manage the cash flow at that time.

During the Summer of 2021, we had a long period of absence from staff for the T.A.N.G.O. Café, the Tango co-ordinator was juggling childcare during school summer holidays and only available to be on site for 2 days a week working the core contracted 16 hours and so the volunteers worked extremely hard with help from the shop and warehouse staff to keep the café going in very demanding and difficult times.

All those who attend are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Individual members of the PCC receive external training as and when deemed appropriate by the PCC.

An information booklet on Trusteeship is given to new PCC members at their first PCC meeting following the APCM, and all are required to have DBS check arranged unless they have a current DBS for another ministry within St. Mark’s. New members will review the policies on Safeguarding Children and Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults as part of the annual review at the first PCC meeting after the APCM.

Child protection training is held as required, and the PCC have a designated Safeguarding Officer who keepsa log of all members of St. Mark’s that are required to have DBS checks and keeps a log of completed training. There is also a Safeguarding Administrator who overseees the paperwork associated with arranging DBS checks and Safeguarding training. St. Mark’s Electoral Roll membership entitles it to have 5 Deanery Synod Representatives and 15 Elected Laity on its PCC. One of our Lay Readers is a Lay Member of General Synod, and so will remain as Ex-Officio on PCC in this capacity. The Standing Committee was decided by PCC to comprise the following people: Incumbent Wardens PCC Secretary Treasurer Operations Manager Two lay representatives from PCC*

“After the APCM in 2021, three people offered to stand for election to the Standing Committee. As the PCC determines the structure of Standing Committee, a proposal was put forward to allow all three persons to be given a place on Standing Committee for the term, which was seconded and then unanimously approved with no abstentions in the first meeting after the APCM.

D Leathers requested that PCC consider whether the stipendiary Curate should be given a place on Standing Committee as part of their role within the Church, and as part of their continuing professional development. This was unanimously approved with no abstentions in a meeting of full PCC. The non-stipendiary curate did not wish for the offer to be extended to her as she had been a member of St. Mark’s PCC and had held the position of elected lay representative on Standing Committee for several years prior to her ordination training.

Standing Committee is a subcommittee of PCC approved annually, and so this structure will be reviewed in the first meeting of PCC after the 2022 APCM.

For the sake of transparency and shared leadership, the diagram below illustrates the current leadership of St Mark’s was adopted in May 2019 and continues to be used in 2021:

The Vicar uses Standing committee as a sounding board for vision, but also to explore the big issues effecting the church, for strategy and for counsel. All nonconfidential items are then brought to PCC, and anything with wider scope is both fed back, and consultation given, to the Congregation. Since initiating this leadership method, the results have been highly effective.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts, except for the valuation of investment assets which are shown at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements 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.

Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required.

Funds

Endowment funds are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment may be used either as unrestricted or restricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment was established.

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of the year must be carried forward for each fund. The PCC invests separately for its major restricted fund, the New Future fund, and interest earned is allocated accordingly.

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes.

Properties purchased for use by the charity out of restricted funds are transferred to general funds once the transaction has been completed.

Where the charity has committed itself to pay grants out of income at a percentage, the balance unpaid is allocated to Designated Funds for payment in the following year.

Income

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Grant income is deferred when grants are received in advance of the performance of the activities to which they relate. Income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions is recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided). Grant income in this category provides funding to support performance activities where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.

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 2021

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARK'S HAYDOCK

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Expenditure

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.

All resources expended are incurred as part of the charitable activities of the PCC except for the audit fee which is included in Governance Costs.

Fixed Assets

a) Consecrated land and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with S.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011 b) Church Hall and land are fully written down in the accounts.

c) Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For anything acquired before 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred.

d) No depreciation is provided on the curate's ,or the assistant vicar's houses, included within freehold land and buildings, or on the Church Centre, included within long leasehold land and buildings, on the grounds that it would be immaterial because the estimated residual values of the land and buildings are not materially different from the amounts shown in the accounts. The valuations of the properties are reviewed annually for impairment.

e) Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years, starting in the year after purchase. f) Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments

Investments are valued at market value at 31 December 2021. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations throughout the year.

Current Assets

Amounts owing to the Charity at 31 December 2021 in respect of fees or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

Bank deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at a Bank.

Pensions

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charity during the year.
