2024 Re
ort and Accounts
Parochial Church Council of Tickhill St Ma
with Stainton St. Winifrid
Incumbent's Introduction
l am delighted to commend this year's annual report for your consideration.
I would like to use this opportunity lo express my thanks to my colleagues in ministry
the Lay Readers who assist in worship and take a good share in preaching and
teaching '. the Churchwardens who fulfil their responsibilities so well, the members of
the PCC, and its committees who are committed to the whole mission and ministry of
the parish,. PCC officers, especially our PCC Secretary, Phil Beavers and our
Treasurer, David Morley, who contribute so much to the efficient working of our parish
life and good stewardship of our financial reSoUr￿s.
Of note is the completion of the work this year in replacing our obsolete gas boilers,
with new more efficient boilers. This was a challenging project, not jLFSt about cost, but
also in administrative obstacles. Well done to The Fabric Team in seeing this through
to the endl
In a year in which the senior hierarchy of the national Church of England have fallen
far short in their responsibilities towards safeguarding. I want to highlight Ihe excellent
positive Contribution of our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, Louise Johnson. Her
work in keeping our PCC informed, aware, and up to date with training and policies is
invaluable as we seek to provide a safe environment for children, young people and
vulnerable adults.
Behind the financial figures, and the bare bones of the description of our activities, lie
the enthusiasm. commitment and hard work of the whole church community and our
supporters. Bell ringers and singers, flower arrangers and cleaners, tea and coffee
makers, odd jobbers and handy workers, sacristy helpers and liturgical hangers, Bible
readers and intercessors, visitors for baptism families and for the bereaved, keepers-
in-touch through magazine, weekly sheets, website and Facebook, they all make
huge contribution. Many thanks to them all.
And thanks to all who worship here, all who offer their time, talents and financial
support to this work and all of goodwill in the wider community who help support our
work in the parish. Without their participalion in the life of our parish. both in Tickhill
and Stainton, there would be little to report.
Aim and Purpose.
The Parochial Church Council of Tickhill St Mary with Stainton St. Winifrid (PCC) has
the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical
parish the whole mission of the church, pasloral. evangelistic, social, and ecumenical.
It also has maintenance responsibility for the ¢hurch buildings within the parish.
Objectives and Activities.
The PCC remains committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at
our churches and to become part of our parish community at Tickhill and Stainlon.
The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes
suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our
parish. Our services and worship put failh into practice through prayer and scripture,
music, and sacrament.

When planning activities for the year. we have considered the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit and the supplementary guidance on charities for the
advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out Iheir faith as part
of our parish community through..
Worship, prayer, and communion (both in church. whenever possible. and by
social media). learning about the gospel, developing knowledge and trust in
Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. especially the lonely and
vulnerable members of our community.
Missionary and Outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important we diligently maintain the fabric of the churches
and the more recent digilal link, which enjoys a permanent presence in our pattern of
worship across our parish and beyond.
Safeguarding and Health & Safety continue to take high priority and are regularly
discussed at PCC meetings. The PCC has complied wilh the duty to have due regard
to the House of Bishop's Guidance in relation to safeguarding.
Achievements and Performance.
Worship and Prayer
The parish church of St Mary, Tickhill is open daily, affording all visitors to the church
time for both private prayer and peaceful reflection.
There are morning and evening services every Sunday. Together with the inclusion of a
morning service on Wednesdays and 'Church Done Differently, on a monthly basis we
offer a rich variety in our pattern of worship. St. Winifrid's, our chapel of ease at
Stainton, has a monthly Sunday morning service of Holy Communion as another very
welcome contribution to the pattern of serVi￿S across the parish. We continue to
provide occasional services in co-operation wilh Stainton Parish Council and the
Village Hall Committee to mark Mothering Sunday, Easter, Harvest, Remernbran￿,
and Christmas.
All are welcome to attend services in our churches and through social media. At
present there are 164 parishioners on the church electoral roll, 18 of whom were not
resident within the parish. One name was added during the year and four were
removed., having sadly died and two moving out of the area. The average weekly
attendance, taking a typical Sunday from each month was 62 from 64 in 2023. The
Church Done Differently, a relatively new 'Fresh Expression, at St. Mary's, added a very
encouraging additional monthly average of 40 members of the parish to our
worshipping community The average number of those attending worship remotely. was
largely maintained.
We have celebrated 25 Christenings {an increase of 2 on the previous year), 5
Weddings (a decrease of 1 on the previous year) and 18 Funerals lan increase of 1 on
the previous year).
Agrant is regularly made to St Mary's ICE) Nursery and Primary School which is
funded partly by the Churches and match funded by The Tickhill with Stainton Parish
Clerk's Trust. Each classroom continued to have a prayer corner and active worship
continued to take place on every school day.

We have three places representing our parish on the Deanery Synod which provides
the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the
church.
We have a team of volunteers who prepare the church for occasional services and
open the church daily, giving the community access for a time of quiet reflection and
private prayer.
New central heating boilers have now been installed and commissioned at St Mary's,
much welcomed by the congregation and our many visitors. Obtaining permission to
undertake this work however has been somewhat challenging. which sadly delayed the
installation programme and resulled in the need for temporary heating in the church
during Advent. 2025 will see more exploratory work being undertaken to further
improve the ambient heating across the church.
The church website and social media platforms continue to be very active during the
year, being a valuable public relalions resource in broadcasting the life of our
Chufches in the parish, and beyond.
The church continues to remain compliant under GDPR legislation.
Provision of Pastoral care
Pastoral work has continued with vigour in the parish, keeping in touch with the lonely,
the vulnerable and the sick.
Missionary and Outreach
Members of our Mothers, Union have conlinued to support the valuable work of the
Women's, Refuge.
The weekly notice sheet has been prepared and sent by email to 85 members of the
parish on a weekly basis.
Throughout the year we have continued to send significant monthly contributions to
neighbouring foodbanks.
Our monthly parish magazine is distributed by a team of volunteers and is also
available at the back of both churches. The magazine keeps parishioners informed of
important matters affecting the church and articles that help develop knowledge and
trust in Jesus.
St Mary's Church of England Primary School is supported by a committed team of
Foundation Governors alongside those representing the staff, and those appointed by
the local authority and parents. The School Chaplain, Jenny Hosker, supports the
school's provision of pastoral care, collective worship, and Religious Education.
Ecumenical Relationships
Our Roman Catholic friends were able to meet for Community Mass in St. Mary's
church on several occasions during the year. This continues a long and very welcome
tradition. We continue to take part in the aclivities of Tickhill Churches Together,
including participation in The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Lent Course. Good
Friday and Easter United Acts of Witness, Christian Aid Week events etc.

Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard within our church. They
are too numerous to mention separately, but to you all, without whose help and
Commitment our church could not flourish, a heartfelt thank you.
Financial Review
Total receipts into the General Fund were £91.6351£90,582 in 20231 and these are
detailed in the financial accounts.
£90,028 (£52,143) was spent to provide Christian ministry from St. Mary's Church and
St. Winifrid's Church.
The net result for the year, therefore, was an excess of income over expenditure
amounting to £1607.
In 2023, payment of Diocesan Common Fund, initially pledged at £60,000, was
restricted to £15,000 after consultation with the Diocese to make funds available to
assist in the replacement of the church boilers which, as reported elsewhere in this
report, were installed this year. The amount in reserve on General Fund brought
forward into 2024 includes this 'saving'. A transfer of £45,000 has subsequently been
made from General Account to the New Development Fund Unrestricted Account. As
the name suggests these funds remain unrestricted i.e. they can be used for any
purpose at the discretion of the PCC.
Common Fund payments amounted to £45,000 this year in accordance with our pledge
to DI0￿Se.
The PCC remains most grateful for the support it continues to receive from its
congregation. The 100 Club once again raised substantial funds and remains an
important part of our annual fund raising.
Close monitoring of finances to meet the financial challenges ahead will continue to be
required, especially with responsibility of financing the upkeep of buildings. In
addition, the parish is now beginning to feel the impact of increased energy costs -
electricity Contracts were renewed in Autumn 2024 and our new gas contract at Tickhill
has shown a very substantial increase.
Reserves Policy
The PCC aims to keep two months wnning costs by way of unrestricted reserves to
ensure there is sufficient working capital to fund the running of the church.
In formulating this policy, the PCC has considered Ihe need to make appropriate
contingency for unseen events, to plan for known expenditurelevents and to make
allowance for income sources, not realising expected budgeted levels.

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
Parochial Church Council of Tickhill St Mary with Stainton St. Winifrid is part of the
Diocese of Sheffield within the Church of England. The PCC is a registered charity.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation
Rules. At the Parochial Church Council of Tickhill St Mary with Stainton St. Winifrid the
membership of the PCC consists of three churchwardens (being ex-offi¢io and two
being in post since the Annual Church Meeting on 21.05.2024, leaving one vacancy),
INO Readers are ex-officiol and its membership elected by Ihose members of the
congregation who are on the Electoral Roll.
Everyone who attends our Se￿ice$, indeed all members of the congregation, are
encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and consider standing for election to the
pcc.
At the APCM in 2022 the concept of a three-year term for elected lay members of the
PCC, by rotation, was agreed. It was then revisited at the APCM in 2023 when the
transitional arrangements were agreed, enabling its application and for it to reviewed
on an ongoing basis. This matter will appear on the agenda for the Annual Church
Meeting in 2025.
PCC members are corporately responsible for making decisions on all matters of
general concern and importance lo the parish, including deciding on how the funds of
the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the
pcc.
The Standing Committee, made up of three churchwardens (currently two in office
and subject to election), treasurer, secretary and PCC representatives to a similar
number as churchwardens. It Is available as a quick decision-making group, where
necessary. It regularly meets before the PCC to formulate the agenda and discuss
pertinent issues.
The PCC met 8 limes during Ihe year (an increase of 1 over the previous year) with
an average level of attendance of 84 % (unchanged on the previous year). Given its
wide responsibilities the PCC has several committees each dealing with a particular
aspect of parish life. These committees, which include Mission. Fabric, and Events
and Social, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly, minutes of
their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed, as necessary.
