2025 Re ort and Accounts Parochial Church Council of Tickhill SL Ma with Stainton SL Winifrid Incumbent's Introduction Once again, I commend this Parish Annual Report to you all. Through it, we ebrate the ongoing life of our parish. Many thanks to David Morley, our PCC treasurer, for the hard work he has done to ensure the clear presentation of bank accounts and funds that we see in this Annual Report. This is the last time that he will prepare these accounts before the appointment of a new PCC Treasurer. We owe him a huge debt of thanks for the dedicated way in which he has stewarded our PCC finances over so many years. This report continues to highlight the major challenges we fa as a parish. The first is the ongoing financial cost of maintaining our buildings. St Mary's Church is Grade I listed, and St Winifrid Grade11. Both require regular ongoing rna1ntenan, and the costs of heating lighting, Insuran etc. From time to time there will be major costs for repairs or, as we have seen at St Mary's, replacing items like boilers. St Winifrid's has historic fabric funds that will help towards meeting some of these costs, and we have the support of trusts independent of the PC.. The Parish Clerk's Fund and Stainton Memorial Trust. But we could do with a major Capital Fund on which to draw when big fabric or maintenance issues arise, such as the replacement of the boilers or big roof repairs. This would ensure that we do not need to stop paying our regular running costs as a parish such as the diocesan Common Fund as we have had to do in recent years. We are tremendously grateful for all who give regularly to the work of the parish. Thank you for your generosity, and thoughtful, sacrrficial giving. But our Regular giving falls far short of our regular costs, particularly in terms of paying towards the di0se,$ Common Fund. This is the cost of providing parish ministry. Our hope would be to cover the whole cost of providing a vicar for our own parish and to support parishes less well off than our own. We do need to recruit new members into our Parish Giving Scheme. Please do your best to encourage others to think about how they might support the ongoing life of the church by regular financial giving. And a big challenge is that of people responding to God's call to servi. We could achieve nothing without the dedicated teams of people who give of their time and abilities in the upkeep and rna1ntenan of our buildings, our social life, preparations for and participation in worship, and reaching out in Servi to school and community. Thank youl But we need more people to give time and talents in the support of and building up the life of our church. We need folk to step up into key posts, such as PCC Treasurer, Churchwarden, and PCC members and to tske on tasks that others, through ill health and infirmity, have had to step back. I want to say a huge thank you to my fellow ministers, all our PCC members and Church Officers who have served through 2025., and to the many groups connected with the parish who make up our church community. 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, pastoral, evangelistic, social,
and ecumenical. It also has Maintenan responsibility for the church buildings within the parish. Objective8 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 Stainton. 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 faith into practi 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 guidan on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their 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 digital link, which enjoys a permanent presence in our pattern of worship across our parish and beyond. Safeguarding and Health & Safety continue to take high priorty and are regularly discussed at all regular PCC meetings. The PCC has complied with the duty to have due regard to the House of Bishop's Guidan in relation to safeguarding. Achievements and Perfomiance. 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 moming and evening seNices every Sunday. Together with the inclusion of a morning service on Wednesdays, 'Church Done Differently, and 'Sunday at 4.00, meet monthly to offer a rich variety in our pattern of worship. St. Winifrid's, our chapel of ease at Stainton, has a monthly Sunday morning Servi of Holy Communion as another welcome contribution to the pattern of SeNiS across the parish. We continue to provide occasional services in co-operation wth Stainton Parish Council and the Village Hall Committee to mark Mothering Sunday, Easter, Harvest, Remembrance, and Christmas. All are welcome to attend services in our churches and through social media. At present there are 122 parishioners on the church electoral roll, e1ve of whom are not resident within the parish. Six names were added during the year and six were removed,. all having sadly died. The average weekly attendance, taking a typical Sunday from each month was 51, down from 62 in 2023. The 'Church Done
Drfferently, & 'Sunday at 4.00,, are both relatively new Fresh Expressions at St. Mary's which have provided an encouraging monthly average of 27 members of the parish to our worshipping community. The average number of those attending worship remotely, was largely maintained. We have celebrated 12 Christenings (a decrease of 13 on the previous year), 8 Weddings (an increase of 3 on the previous year) and 34 Funerals (an increase of 16 on the previous year). A grant is regularly made to St Mary's (CE) Nursery and Primary School which is funded partly by the Churches and match funded by The Tickhill with Stainton Parish Clerk's Trust (a regulated Investment Trust). Each classroom continued to have a prayer corner and active worship continued to take place on every school day. We have two plaS representing our parish on the Deanery Synod which provides the PCC with an important link beeen 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. The church website and social media platforms continue to be very active during the year, being a valuable public relations resour in broadcasting the life of our Churches 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 continued to support the valuable work of the Women's, Refuge. The weekly notice sheet has been prepared and sent by email to approximately 100 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 working 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 activities 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 reiptS into the General Fund were £100,561 (£91,635 in 2024) and these are detailed in the financial accounts. £91,531 (£90,028) was spent to provide Christian ministry from St. Mary's Church and St. Winifrid's Church. The net resurt for the year, therefore, was an eXs5 of income over expenditure amounting to £9,030. We have been especially grateful for the increased number of donations received during the year, partly as a result of the giving initiative which took place during June. It is also pleasing to note an increase in collections and fees and also there has been a welcome increase in contactless giving. On the other hand, regular giving has fallen a little this year which is, of course, of some concem. Expenditure was contained but we continue to be fad with the challenge of the high cost of energy and insurance. 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 two buildings and meeting our Common Fund commitments. Reserves Policy The PCC aims to keep bNo months running 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 the 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 ManagemenL 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 fickhill St Mary with Stainton St. Winifrid the membership of the PCC consists of three churchwardens (being ex-officio 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 those members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll. Everyone who attends our services, 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 conrn and Importan to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members aayS receive initial training into the workings of the PCC. The Standing Committee, made up of three churchwardens (currently two in Offi), treasurer, secretary and one PCC representative. It is available as a quick decision-making group, where necessary. It regularly meets before the PCC meetings to formulate the agenda and discuss pertinent issues. The PCC met eight times during the year (as in the previous year) wilh 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.
