The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the church, church grounds and the adjoining church hall. The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC has complied with its duty under s5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 and has regard to guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, a duty which it takes seriously.

St Giles thanks all members of the 2020-21 PCC who have worked hard over the past year dealing with the continuing COVID epidemic, the Vacancy, and the appointment of a new Vicar. Thanks are also due to Catherine Shields, Lisa Wright and Alan Tomkins who retired from the PCC during 2021. We thank those elected to the PCC in April 2021, ie Krystyna Novak, Sara Leefe, Suzy Bidgood and Jacquie Howard.
The Deputy Wardens were Hazel Lee, Jean Bradshaw, Jean Weatherill, Marion Skirrow, and Sue Ball.
PCC Meetings
The PCC held regular meetings in January, March, May, July, September and November 2021. There were also a number of meetings devoted solely to the Vacancy which will be addressed later on in this report. The first four PCC meetings were held via Zoom, the latter two in the Church Hall. The first three meetings were chaired by Revd Tom Lusty, the July and September meetings by Nick Pinches, our Churchwarden, and the November meeting welcomed Revd Matt Broughton as our new Chairman. The average attendance at these meetings was 87%.
PCC Vacancy Meetings
In March 2021 Revd Tom Lusty announced his forthcoming appointment to a new parish and the PCC therefore had to have a number of ‘extra’ meetings to discuss the Vacancy and the appointment of a new Vicar. Many of these Vacancy meetings are formalised by the Diocesan authorities and follow a set pattern. The PCC held formal Section 11 and Section 12 meetings on 21 June and 5 July to agree a Parish Profile and Parish Brochure and to discuss with the Archdeacon
3
and the Bishop the way forward in appointing a new Vicar. The PCC held a further meeting on 9 July to discuss the proposal which had been put forward to appoint Revd Matt Broughton, at that time Curate at St Paul’s Ireland Wood, who had been helping out with worship at St Giles during the vacancy.
PCC Standing Committee Meetings
The PCC Standing Committee consists of the Vicar, the churchwarden(s), the Treasurer and the Secretary and Bernard Williams and it acts for the PCC between full PCC meetings. It reports on its meetings to the PCC. During 2021, the Standing Committee met on 6 occasions (generally via email correspondence rather than face to face). During 2020, most Standing Committee meetings had concerned the Health and Safety aspects of COVID, but during 2021 a variety of other subjects were discussed including approval for minor fabric expenditure and preparation for Revd Matt Broughton’s interview and his first PCC meeting.
Other PCC Committees
Finance Committee had as its members the Treasurer (Angela Smith), Vicar, Churchwarden, and Gillian and Andrew Taylor. This Committee covers all aspects of church finance and insurance including Stewardship and Collection envelopes. The PCC is grateful to Angela Smith who ‘stepped up to the plate’ and took on the role of Church Treasurer in January 2021.
Hall Management Committee deals with maintenance and bookings for the church hall. Under the leadership of Suzy Bidgood, the increase in bookings during the 2[nd] half of 2021 means we have managed to achieve an income of £3700 which is more than the figure of c£3000 in 2019. We are grateful to all our hirers, new and established, who have helped us maintain this income, a vital source of support for the church. Sadly however, a number of groups confirmed their decision not to resume activities in the hall after COVID.
Part of this financial success during 2021 is due to the introduction of a new fee structure, and a higher number of regular bookings by private groups. The
4
PCC are grateful for the enthusiasm and imagination shown by Suzy in order to achieve this.
Communications Team organises the communication surrounding all church services, notices, events and the St Giles Review monthly Magazine. It distributes information throughout the parish and beyond. Electronic distribution includes via the church website, A Church Near You and our Facebook Page. The e-mail communication system “Mailchimp” distributed weekly virtual services until the end of May 2021, and continues to distribute the monthly St Giles Review in an electronic version. The PCC approved the re-introduction of printed copies of St Giles Review and this was recommenced in September 2021 whilst continuing to distribute and electronic version via email. The team are grateful to Sue Ball who organises the distribution with the help of a team of distributors. The team also manages all the Noticeboards in and around Church, as well as the banners. This year we successfully used the Eventbrite booking system in conjunction with our website and Facebook to fill the two Christingle services to our maximum quota due to COVID. The Team also contributes an article to the Bramhope and Carlton Parish magazine three times a year. Its membership is Sarah Shay (Lead), Gill Pinches, Jacquie Howard and Jenni Hall. The 2 editors for the St Giles Review are Jenni Hall and Gill Pinches. We are looking for someone to join us and share the load, so please have a think!
Church Grounds Team This team is led by Alan Tomkins who organises a team of volunteers to maintain the church grounds, keeping them in excellent order. We are grateful for their continued work through out another difficult year. Our grounds are very visible from the main road and their tidy condition therefore provides an excellent showcase for our church.
Risk Management This team establishes and documents risk assessment procedures, and reviews annually risks in the Church and the Church Hall. This work is presently being done by the Churchwarden.
Ministry Leadership Team This team has not met this year and we anticipate that its role will be addressed by Revd Matt in his organisation of the two new Sunday services.
5
Safeguarding Safeguarding is an essential aspect of the church’s work, enabling children and vulnerable adults to be safe in our care. Liz Johnson is our Safeguarding Officer. Under Liz’s guidance, all members of the PCC had completed the basic Safeguarding Awareness training by March 2021. Liz and Angela Smith had also completed the Safer Recruiting Training organised by the Diocese. There is a Safeguarding report at every PCC meeting.
Fabric Committee is responsible for planning and carrying out the maintenance and repair of the church and the hall. Its members are Nick Pinches (Convenor) and Bernard Williams. A Quinquennial Inspection took place in April 2021. The Fabric Committee are pleased to report that there were no immediately pressing matters brought to light, although there is a need for a significant amount of repointing of stonework. During the year a new noticeboard was erected on the main road and it now awaits Revd Matt’s details to be added! The PCC are grateful to Nick Pinches for his constant work on the fabric of the church and feel that the successful Quinquennial Inspection is due in no small part to the continual and on-going maintenance provided by the Fabric Committee.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Team . Data protection issues are deal with on an ad hoc basis by Sarah Shay and Angela Smith.
Social Committee helps with organising social events both for mutual enjoyment and for fundraising for charities, and church funds. This committee is in abeyance and COVID has limited social events since March 2020. A highly successful 140[th] Anniversary Candlelit Dinner was however held in church on 3 December 2021. Although not intended as a fundraiser, £1000 was raised for church funds, and the occasion provided a marvellous opportunity for church fellowship. The PCC is grateful to Marion and Ian Skirrow for organising this event and hope that it will be the first of many social occasions as we emerge from COVID.
PCC Activities during 2021
6
As well as dealing with the impact of the COVID pandemic, the PCC was faced with another vacancy and the appointment of a new Vicar this year, and much of this report will deal with the PCC’s response to this.
2021 Vacancy
The church and the PCC were sorry to hear in March 2021 that Revd Tom Lusty would be moving on to a new parish having only been with us for 2 years. Tom’s time with us was short but very productive, although much impacted by the COVID pandemic and all that that entailed in interruptions to worship and all other aspects of church activities. The PCC, led very effectively by Nick Pinches our churchwarden, were committed to making the vacancy as short as possible. Nick and Jenni Hall, PCC Secretary, had an early Zoom meeting with Archdeacon Paul Ayres on 18 May 2021 to put forward our views that a short vacancy was essential bearing in mind the short time Tom had been with us. A timetable was agreed to produce a Parish Profile and Brochure, advertise the post, and hopefully appoint a new vicar early in 2022. The ‘Section 11’ PCC meeting on 21 June appointed Nick Pinches and Suzy Bidgood to act as PCC representatives at the interview panel for a new vicar. At the ‘Section 12’ PCC meeting on 5 July, Bishop Paul put forward the suggestion that the PCC might consider appointing Revd Matt Broughton as a full time permanent vicar as part of a ‘mini plant’ from St Pauls Ireland Wood. The aims of this plant would be firstly to develop an allage congregation at St Giles and secondly to lead ministry to the Spring Wood development. There was funding for this plant for 2 years from Strategic Development Funding. After much discussion and having considered all aspects of church planting, including the effect it would have on our traditional forms of worship, the PCC agreed to interview Revd Matt for the post on 1 September 2021. After a successful interview, and with the support of the PCC, the Bishop was happy to appoint Revd Matt as vicar of St Giles. His licensing service on 31 October 2021 was a joyous occasion.
The PCC are grateful to Nick Pinches for his role in expediting this appointment, to Suzy Bidgood for her professional role in preparing for the interview, and also to the Diocese for their imaginative way in dealing with the vacancy. We are also very grateful to Sue and Ken Ball who took responsibility for looking after the empty vicarage during this period and for making sure it would be a happy and suitable home for the Broughton family.

Worship The opening line of our Mission Statement is ‘Worship God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit’. We continue to rise to this challenge.
With the first lockdown in mid March 2020 the church was closed for worship and prayer by government legislation. Since then we have gradually reinstated worship in the church building in line with COVID rules, but always erring on the safe side. We continued with our weekly Sunday Virtual services until the end of May 2021 on the departure of Revd Tom Lusty. These pre recorded services included a welcome, hymns and songs, one or two of the lectionary readings, a sermon, prayers and a video for younger children.
Physical turnout at services began to pick up in the second half of 2021 although we appreciate that many members of our congregation are still anxious about returning. For comparison purposes, attendance at church on the first Sunday of October 2021 was 42. The church was closed due to lockdown on the same Sunday in 2020. Attendance on the same Sunday in 2019 (ie before COVID) was 86. With each change in government COVID regulations during 2021 we have tried to make the church space as safe and yet as accessible as possible. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2020, 34 communicants attended the two church services, compared with 121 in 2019. Attendance at Christmas services in 2021 was encouraging with 94 adults and 67 young people at our Christmas Eve Christingle and Midnight services, and 36 adults and 5 young people at our service on Christmas Day.
Despite COVID, we were able to hold joint Lent and Advent courses with Bramhope Methodist Church.
During 2021, there were 4 baptisms, 5 weddings and 13 funerals in the church. At present we have only one service each Sunday at 9.30am, and there is a Bible Study/Prayer service on Thursday mornings at 10.30am.
Further statistics on worship can be found on the Diocesan website (SfM_HEADINGLEY_460078_Bramhope St Giles.pdf (anglican.org))
New Worship Pattern
8
From 9 January 2022 there will be a new Sunday worship pattern at St Giles with two Sunday morning services, a contemporary styled one at 9.30am specifically aimed at young families, and a traditional Common Worship Communion Service at 11am. This change in worship patterns is a direct result of the remit for Revd Matt’s appointment and we look forward to the challenges and opportunities this will give us.
Pastoral Care Team
St Giles are lucky to have a dedicated Pastoral Care Team, led by June Pickles. They aim to keep in touch with and provide support for those members of our community who are vulnerable, lonely, bereaved or suffering from ill health.
2021 has proved to be almost as problematic as the previous year in maintaining contact and fellowship with church members and the wider community.
The team together with other helpers have continued to use WhatsApp and the telephone to check on the welfare of those who might be in need. In this we are reliant on the information which we are given.
They have continued to send appropriate cards throughout the year with the hope that in future it will be possible to visit those unable to attend church services.
Revd Matt is able and willing to administer communion to the housebound but we are again reliant on being given such information about those who are in need of that.
The PCC thanks all who have happily given their time to this important work.
Risk Management The Churchwarden with valuable support from the Standing Committee, the PCC and Suzy Bidgood has again been concerned with COVID Risk Assessments throughout the year in order to ensure the church and hall are safe for all users. Government and Diocesan guidelines have been followed. We have always aimed to err on the side of caution.
Finances
Income
9
2021 was another challenging year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall income was £81,315 which is a marginal increase from £81,150 in 2020. However, compared to our pre-pandemic income of £95,903 in 2019, this is a fall of 15%.
Planned giving is the cornerstone of our income and thanks are due to those who have continued to give regularly to the church in these difficult times. Total planned giving has however fallen by 8% from £43,381 in 2020 to £39,946 in 2021. A number of regular givers have moved away or sadly died and new regular givers have not been recruited.
Collections increased slightly from £3,141 in 2020 to £3,663 in 2021, but are still well below the pre-pandemic level of £8,083 in 2019.
Income from weddings and funerals increased from £1,331 in 2020 to £3,756 in 2021.
The church hall has reopened following lockdown and income from lettings has increased from £2,481 in 2020 to £3,712 in 2021. The 50:50 club and parish magazine also continue to be valuable sources of income. The 140th anniversary dinner raised £1,000. The PCC designated this to the newly created Worship Development Fund, the purpose of which is to plant, nurture and grow a new allage worship service and congregation. We are grateful to everyone who has organised and supported our fundraising activities.
Expenditure
Overall expenditure decreased from £81,119 in 2020 to £73,476 in 2021.
Our biggest item of expenditure is Parish Share. Our requested share for 2021 was £69,072. The PCC decided that we would pay only what we could afford without having to use any of our reserves. This resulted in a payment of £55,072. We therefore paid 80% of our share.
Total running expenses for the church building, church services and church hall were broadly unchanged at £15,027 in 2021 compared to £15,427 in 2020.
10
Reserves
Our reserves currently stand at £83,177. Of this total £61,792 is held in restricted or designated funds. £21,385 is for general purposes and this is equivalent to three months expenditure.
Parish Boundary The ecclesiastical boundary of St Giles Bramhope was changed on 1 December 2021 to include the new housing development at Spring Wood on the A660 and various other properties on High Ridge Way, Kings Road and the A660 which had previously come within the parish of Adel.
Outreach to Spring Wood Development
The Communications Team, in particular Jacquie Howard, have been proactive in outreach to our new neighbours in Spring Wood. A welcome video was produced and distributed via Face Book, our website and Mailchimp. A welcome leaflet has also been circulated. We have been very pleased to welcome some new families from Spring Wood to our Sunday services and to CATS, our Toddler Group. This outreach continues to be a priority for the PCC as it is one of the conditions why the diocese has been able to appoint a full time vicar to Bramhope.
Deanery Synod Joy Smith and Sue Ball are our representatives on this Synod and have reported to the PCC on its proceedings during 2021.
Work with Children and Young People
Our Toddler Group CATS started back in September 2021 and had 8 CATS meetings and 3 Toddler praise meetings in the Autumn term of 2021.
Whilst at the first the take up was lower than before we are now experiencing between 17 and 24 families each CATS session and up to 8 families for Toddler Praise. Many are returning families from before lockdown but we have also welcomed new members, including one from Spring Wood.
11
We have also been thrilled to have a number of new helpers who are enjoying the interaction with the young families as well as the many Grandparents. We are very grateful to them.
Sadly our Christmas craft session, aimed mainly to CATS members but also open to other children, had to be cancelled due to COVID but we made up craft kits with the nativity story which could be collected from the hall lobby on the day. We distributed the 30 kits and most people donated at least £5 for each kit which more than covered the costs.
Kidzclub has been unable to function at Bramhope Primary School due to COVID but its reinstatement in some form remains a priority when the situation returns to normal. Pizza Sunday has also fallen into abeyance.
Mothers Union
St Giles Mothers' Union had a meeting on 4 October 2021 and after discussion the 14 members present decided that there was no option but to close the group. The lack of people willing to organise meetings was the main reason.
However, we have decided to try and hold 3 or 4 coffee mornings each year to raise funds for MU and we are encouraging members to still pay their subs to Mary Sumner House directly.
There will be a formal closing service for the branch during 2022 as part of a Sunday service. This is the protocol of the Mothers' Union.
The PCC shares the sadness at the closure of the Bramhope MU. There has been a presence of MU at St Giles for 118 years.
Meet and Eat
We were delighted that reductions in Covid infections enabled us to resume our meetings once again in October 2021. Precautions were of course taken - diners were spaced further apart than usual, helpers were all vaccinated, and our cooks took a lateral flow test before beginning to prepare meals. It was great to welcome all our regulars, together with some new ones, back again to enjoy not
12
only a nourishing meal but also to socialise and catch up with the gossip! It was also good to meet our new vicar, Matt, who popped in to our first meeting to introduce himself.
In December, in addition to our normal lunch meeting, we also held a Christmas party. This was well attended and enjoyed by everyone. Unfortunately increasing levels of corona virus caused by the omicron variant meant that as a precaution our January meeting was cancelled. Hopefully this will only be a temporary measure and normal service can resume as soon as possible.
The PCC expresses sincere thanks to all the helpers who work so hard each month. In particular we are sad to bid farewell to Jude Jones, a key helper, who will be shortly returning to Wales. We do of course wish her every happiness in her new home.
Charities St Giles was again unable to organise a door to door collection for Christian Aid this year because of COVID, but an appeal was put in St Giles Review in May. For Harvest in 2021 the church collected goods for Caring for Life in Cookridge, a local Christian charity providing support for marginalised populations in Leeds. As part of our post COVID deliberations the PCC set up a Social Action Group under the leadership of Bernard Williams and initiated PCC support for PAFRAS (Positive Support for Refugees and Asylum Seekers), a Leeds charity. Since May there has been a weekly collection of food stuffs and toiletries for them. The church remains active in its support for the Children’s Society. Our Annual Box Opening was held in November and two Christingle Services were held on Christmas Eve. As usual, our local Children’s Society also raised money by selling Christmas cards and Christmas quizzes. Our Annual Toy Service in December collected toys for children at the PAFRAS Christmas party. Two parishioners organised a collection of toiletries and clothing for St George’s Crypt in December also.
Conclusion St Giles continues to provide a Christian presence in Bramhope. We feel grateful that we have been able to appoint a new full time vicar and we look forward to a very hopeful future under his guidance and with the power of prayer for God’s help. We look forward to an expanding younger congregation as
13
well as supporting long standing existing members of our congregation who have been so faithful during the last two years. Further details of all that goes on at St Giles’ can be found on our parish website (stgilesbramhope.org.uk) and our Facebook page.
