REFERENCE & ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

The Parish of Ulverston covers Ulverston Parish Church (St. Mary’s with Holy Trinity) and one daughter Church, St. John’s Osmotherley. The affairs of both churches are managed by the Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is described in more detail in the next section.

While routine management of the Parish is in the hands of the Rector and the Churchwardens, daily running of the Parish Church with all its activities is achieved with the assistance of numerous volunteers. The day to day running of St. John’s is overseen by a committee under the auspices of the Parochial Church Council, to which any major items are referred. At full strength, we have a full-time Rector, Curate, Youth Minister, Children and Families Minister, and a part-time Parish Administrator, Music Co-ordinator and Cleaner.

The correspondence address for the PCC is that of the Parish Office: Ulverston Parish Office 20 Church Walk, Ulverston LA12 7EN

The PCC uses the National Westminster for its current accounts and ongoing financing of the church. Deposit funds are held with the CCLA, a Church of England fund. The annual accounts are examined by Saint & Co Chartered Accountants, Old Police Station, Church Street, Ambleside.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is regulated by the Charity Commission.

The PCC manages the affairs of the Parish and in particular is responsible for:

• Providing a forum for discussion with the Rector

• Church building and property

• Conduct of the financial affairs of the Parish

• Form of services

Membership of the PCC is regulated according to the Church representation Rules and includes the Clergy, the Churchwardens, a Reader’s representative, up to twelve elected lay members, up to four Deanery Synod representatives and up to three co-opted members.

The PCC delegates much of the planning, discussion and implementation of activities to six Teams covering different areas of responsibility. These Teams are coordinated by members of the PCC and include members both within and without the PCC. The Teams meet regularly and report back to the PCC, making recommendations or proposals requiring approval of the Council.

5

The PCC has a Standing Committee to transact business between meetings of the Council and to which business is delegated from time to time. This sub-committee consists of the Clergy, Churchwardens, Lay Chair, Youth Minister, Children and Families Worker, Treasurer and the Secretary. The Standing Committee is also accountable to the PCC.

Many members of the Church hold other positions of responsibility, without which the church could not function.

Training is generally undertaken either through the Diocesan courses, e.g., ‘Called to Serve’, or as a result of a need identified by one of the Teams. The PCC delegates responsibility for risk management of buildings to the Property committee. The PCC also has a Safeguarding Co-ordinator.

CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT

2021 started with another lockdown and the building being closed again. This meant that the 9am in person service stopped and all returned to the 10.30am service which was still taking place virtually on Zoom. With the church building closed we were not able to livestream the services via Facebook but offered the Zoom alternative to those who wanted to join us.

On Good Friday, April 2[nd] , we were able to open the building for the Easter vigil and on Easter Sunday the 9am service returned as the building was open again. We began live streaming via Facebook again. On 14[th] April the church offered a prayer service following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. It was possible for people to come to the church building or engage via livestream.

From 14[th] – 22[nd] May the building was open daily to engage in the Church of England’s Thy Kingdom Come invitation to pray. This culminated in a Pentecost teaching day on 22[nd] May with guest speaker Richard Fothergill from The Filling Station.

In July restrictions were lifted and all services moved back into the building. July 25[th] saw the 10.30am service take place in person for the first time since March 2020. To celebrate people were encouraged to bring

8

a picnic and enjoy some time reconnecting and playing games outside in the church garden.

On September 18[th] the Church held a Heritage Open Day. This took a lot of organising and thanks to those that were involved in all the work over many weeks.

The 1[st] Sunday in October saw the start of a new evening Youth Service as part of the Sunday evening Youth Group. Ruth organised the Pumpkin Party which took place at the end of October.

The annual Remembrance Service returned and was able to take place again and although not as many people were able to attend in person others were able to join in with the live stream.

At Christmas we were able to offer the Carol Service, Blue Christmas and two Christingle Services with more capacity than in 2020 but still within guidance. Plan B restrictions were in place in December which meant that although the building could remain open there was stricter guidance in place.

It is only through the ongoing commitment of volunteers that the church is able to run efficiently. We thank you for all you do.

(Jill Shephard and John McKenzie)

MISSION

Youth

It has been another amazing year full of surprises. We started the year meeting together on Zoom. Like everyone else, the Covid restrictions limited what we could do and changed throughout the year many times. We were thankful for the technology that helped us to see each other but really enjoyed slowly starting to meet together in person. One of the best events was a campfire on Holy Saturday. Not only did we have s’mores but also had time and space to really dive into the Easter story.

We have worked with other groups of young people across Furness and Barrow for fun and social times as well as youth focussed church services. These have been really good and we have seen God working in and through the young people.

We have seen a growth in numbers of young people coming regularly which has been encouraging for everyone.

We have missed doing bigger events and trips, particularly weekends away and camps. We are hopeful that we can go back to these in 2022.

We have struggled with a lack of volunteers. We are praying for more people to want to build relationships with our young people and journey with them as they build their relationship with God.

9

We are looking forward to what 2022 brings and praying that God guides us in how to best serve the young people at UPC and across Ulverston.

(Ruth Hutchings)

Children and Families

We are very grateful to everyone who stepped forward to help with our ministry to children and families whilst Hannah Fishwick, our Children and Families Minister, has been on maternity leave. This has enabled us to continue with the Toddler Group, Junior Church and special events, such as the Pumpkin Party at Hallowe’en and the two Christingle Services on Christmas Eve, all of which are vital to us as a church family and part of our outreach to our town and local area. Inevitably, Covid-related shutdowns and restrictions have had a big effect on what we have been able to do. Junior Church was online for long periods, as part of Zoom church on Sunday mornings, but was back in the church building by late summer. What a relief it was to re-start the Toddler Group in church on Wednesday mornings. At first, the youngest children were very ‘clingy’ and reticent, but they opened up like flowers in bloom as they got used to meeting with others and learning how to share toys! Toddlers and our oneoff events are really appreciated by parents and families and definitely a central part of our mission to the community.

(Alan Bing)

Church Walk School

2021 started with another lockdown and although most pupils returned to home schooling, we were able to offer sessions in school for around 30 children over the week. Children were in class bubbles and staff worked on a rota basis within their class. In March everyone returned to school and it was lovely to see everyone again.

It was not possible to have whole school assemblies in person but they continued using Teams. Jester for Jesus and UPC staff were able to present virtual assemblies.

It was important to make sure that all children had as normal an experience as possible. Music tutoring began again and a significant number of children began or continued learning to play an instrument. Visiting sports coaches were able to run PE lessons and after school clubs which are always popular.

In the summer term every class enjoyed a school trip and we were able to celebrate 125 years of the school opening with a birthday tea party on the school field. Year Six were not able to go on the usual residential but activities were planned to make the last few weeks at Church Walk School memorable.

In the new academic year, we had two “bubbles” KS1 and KS2. Whole school assemblies began again and Christmas saw the return of the Infant Nativity Play in Church and also the KS2 Christmas Concert.

Alpha

Alpha took an interesting twist in 2021 as Ruth Hutchings offered Youth Alpha online in February-March, and others of us joined forces with The Filling Station and members of different churches to offer ‘South Lakes Alpha’ online, which ran via Zoom between January and March. UPC members attended both and/or led small groups, with around 30 guests attending South Lakes Alpha overall.

If anyone still harbours a notion that God does not work online, or only in church buildings, Alpha online puts paid to that! It has been a joy to see people come to faith or respond to God in other ways through the online videos and small group discussion. On South Lakes Alpha we had our ‘Holy Spirit weekend’ on Zoom on a Saturday morning, and the Holy Spirit met with people just the same as he ever has. I will never forget one young woman who was doing Alpha with her Mum, a Christian. The daughter was very shy, hardly spoke, and her body language was quite closed. When we came together on Zoom for our regular Tuesday night session after the weekend, the change was remarkable. She was grinning ear to ear, arms all over the place, and could not wait to tell us what had happened to her and how God had met with her. I know I should not have been so surprised, but I was!

(Steve Parkinson)

DISCIPLESHIP

Connect Groups

Connect Groups are social and formational groups that meet weekly or sporadically, for the purpose of building faith, friendship and community. We currently have 14 Connect Groups at UPC, meeting mainly in the evening in people’s homes, or in the Parish Centre. In 2021, groups mainly met online, and occasionally in-person. It was a strange and difficult year, as we sought to keep spirits up both within our groups and as leaders. Many groups made time specifically for recovery, meeting on a purely social basis in the summer.

Most Connect Groups are at capacity, which makes it difficult for new enquirers to join. However, in the Winter term two new groups were launched as a result of one large group splitting expressly for the purpose of creating space for new members. The change was challenging but has proved successful; new members have joined and we are now in a position of needing to create another group or two! This openness to adapt and to lead is exactly what we need in order to grow and mature in our gifts and discipleship. Another good example of this has been the launch in 2021 of the ‘Lunch Bunch’ – community lunches held in the church, open to all. What started as a tentative idea has become life-giving reality and will continue on a regular basis in 2022.

I am deeply grateful to all our Connect Groups for the ways in which they nurture people, build up the church, and breathe life into our wider community.

(Madi Simpson)

Men’s Ministry

The Pint Night meeting began after the summer holidays and has continued into the new year. Due to the lack of kitchen facilities in the Parish Centre, the Men’s Breakfast has not happened. This is being

12

remedied in the new year with help of Steve Hartley from Poppies Café, who has provisionally agreed to either host or provide take-away to allow us to utilise the Parish Centre.

(Glyn Shephard)

Parish Fellowship

We are a group of older ladies, average age 79, but quite with it. We meet in church on the first Wednesday of every month at 2 pm. We start each meeting with a short service followed by the speaker which may be secular or religious.

We were only able to meet from June due to lockdown. Our first speaker could not come due to sickness so we had a ‘getting to know you’, each person told us a little about themselves. It was interesting that of the 17 present only 5 were ‘local’, everyone else had come with their husband’s job.

We had speakers from ’Cut the Wrap’ and ‘Boxes of Hope’ and a visit to Aldingham Church for a talk on its history. We ended the year with our usual Christmas Party.

If anyone would like to come and see the kind of thing we do you will be very welcome.

(Jean Musker)

Pastoral Team

2021 has been another testing year for us all. Many have been ill, many have had to care for a loved one, many have lost a loved one. Some have been made redundant and some have had to adjust their lives to working from home, being furloughed, home schooling, shielding, being lonely and so many uncertainties which we have never had to experience before. Through all the difficulties I have been encouraged by the caring concern and assistance shown by members of our church for one another.

The Pastoral Team, together with clergy and many others tried to keep in touch with every person on the electoral roll. Our apologies go to anyone we may have missed. Please do let us know if this was the case.

Thankfully conditions improved and the team was able to meet up again in August. New ideas were put forward, discussed and decided upon as follows:

1. Coffee and Chat would move from Friday to Thursday, to follow on after the communion service. This has been successful and has attracted more members and helpers.

2. Kath Walley and those who assist with Home Communions would become members of the Pastoral Team. Kath was able to arrange for Advent

• Communion to be taken out to the housebound with all the careful safeguarding applied. Our thanks go to Kath for this faithful ministry she has carried out over many years.

13

3. Lunches would be arranged again under the name of the Lunch Bunch and

• Louise Taylor and her team of helpers organised well attended lunches in October and December. Thanks go to Louise for her enthusiasm and organising gifts.

Over the past two years we have lost quite a few of our members for one reason or another and so we appeal once again to anyone who may feel called to being a member of our Pastoral Team - especially men! – there are various ways you can help. Please do contact me (Marilyn Fell) or Alan or Madi if you would like to know more. It is so important that we do care and value all our church members and also reach out into our community with God’s love.

(Marilyn Fell)

WORSHIP

Worship

Having worshipped online for most of 2020, we spent much of 2021 gradually reintroducing worship to our church buildings. Creating a safe and accessible space for everyone proved to be a difficult balancing act, and inevitably there were those who did not feel confident to return to worship in person. So, when we moved from worshipping on Zoom to worshipping in person, we very deliberately continued our online presence, livestreaming our 10.30 services so that people could participate from home. As a result, we have got used to welcoming both those in the building and those at home, which means that we have technically become a ‘hybrid church’. As our livestreaming has improved, this has helped us pastorally (by being able to minister more effectively to the house-bound and isolated) and evangelistically (as our worship and the gospel message is now accessible to anyone anywhere with an internet connection). That said, perhaps the highlight of the year was being able to gather again in the church building to express our praise to God in song.

(Alan Bing)

Music

It has been wonderful to be able to be back in church and have live musical worship again. We have welcomed Joseph Meacock who has begun to play bass for us – something we have missed for a very long time and we are always on the look for new musicians to join the worship team. We have systematically been introducing into church the new songs we learnt over our Zoom services during the various lock downs and it has been good to continue to broaden the repertoire.

James Simpson and Andrew Wright have both stepped forward to begin leading worship which has been very welcome and has brought a freshness with their personal approaches to leading.

14

The recently introduced monthly Youth Service has been an opportunity to get some of the young people involved again in musical worship and we hope to expand this. Likewise, where time and resources allow, we are encouraging children to get involved in playing or singing in the All Age services. We are a church family which spans a wide age range and would love to see this being represented in our worship team.

We have been grappling with technical issues with sound on the live stream as it was very poor quality to begin with. Working with Soundsmith it is improving but may still need some technical input to get it to a satisfactory standard.

Overall, we seek to provide an opportunity through musical worship for people to draw near to God and give and receive in worship to Him.

(Rachel Stanbrook)

Prayer Team

During 2021 the prayer team was able to return to praying face to face with members of the church after the 10.30 service. Numbers in the prayer team fluctuated over the course of the year, by December there were 13 active members. A regular monthly meeting for the team was reestablished, taking place on the 3[rd] Sunday of each month. The meeting provided opportunity for the team to pray together for individuals who requested prayer, as well as pray for the whole life of the church. We were particularly pleased to be supported in the ministry by housebound members of the UPC congregation who received the monthly prayer list and who committed to pray for the needs of people in the church. In addition to the Prayer Team, a larger group of approximately 25 church members called the PrayerWeb received email requests to pray for immediate and urgent needs. Through the commitment of the Prayer Team and the PrayerWeb we witnessed wonderful answers to prayer.

The prayer diary which began in 2020 was produced at intervals during 2021. Each week covered a different topic of church life. For Advent 2021 a special edition of the prayer diary was produced. This invited church members to pray and listen to God for the way forward for the Restoration Mission. The outcomes were reported to the PCC and the church family. In 2022 we plan to broaden Prayer Ministry within the life of the church, inviting others to partner with prayer team members on an ad hoc basis. We plan to set up a prayer tree in church to make it easier for visitors and regular church attendees to leave prayer requests, and we plan to share more testimony of answered prayer.

Bell Ringers

Considering the fact that all ringing had ceased due to Covid restrictions UPC bellringers have had an eventful 2021.

At the end of March Ian Taylor sadly announced his retirement from his role as Tower Captain. Ian’s hard work and dedication to the Church, the

15

Bells and the Bellringers has spanned over the last 50 years, a truly remarkable achievement.

Unfortunately, the Covid restrictions for bellringing stayed in place until the planned restoration works for the bells and bell frame finally commenced.

Nicholson Engineering Ltd, professional bellhangers from Dorset, and SSK, a local building company, along with the expertise of Hugh Pettifer (UPC’s bell engineer) and a small group of volunteers, carried out the works required. The bellhangers arrived on 10th May to begin work and the final phase of work was completed on 18th August. After 18 months of no ringing and several test rings, on Sunday 5[th] September normal Sunday Service ringing recommenced and Monday night practices resumed. The bells and ringing chamber are much improved since the restoration works and weekly ringing has continued.

Works Completed - Bells & Bell frame. Total cost: £38,407 (ex-VAT) for Nicholson Engineering (bell hanging) and SSK (associated building work). Funds raised by the ringers: £35,650 (including Gift Aid); the shortfall (on account of dispensing with local assistance) met from PCC funds.

Our aims are primarily to ensure the bells ring for Sunday Service and to have a regular weekly practice. Whilst there is no end to the work that could be done within the tower, it is most important to focus our efforts on an achievable maintenance programme to prevent further deterioration to the installation.

(Sue Smith)

St John’s

The beginning of the year saw a return to locked buildings, but until services resumed as normal, we were able to keep up a weekly St John’s presence on Zoom with a short Evening Prayer service followed by an informal catchup time. House group met intermittently also via Zoom.

Three funerals and two weddings were held under Covid restrictions.

We were sorry to lose both Carrie and Janet from the St John’s committee and would like to record our thanks to them for all their service over the years and their ongoing support.

Our congregational numbers remain steady and it was wonderful to welcome new members once we reopened.

We were pleased to be able to host one of the biodiversity seminars in July and took part in a national cowslip survey earlier in the year.

When allowed work on the building and in the churchyard continued:

• Two south wall window reveals (1[st] and 2[nd] from west end) filled (7mm max at 1[st] window) – Spatial Data measurements indicate movement continues at similar rate. Advice requested from Historic Buildings Engineer (report awaited).

• Lectern foot stands made.

16

• 3m collapsed wall (between Church & School House) rebuilt

• Ivy removed from two yew trees and all Churchyard walls, with six wall repairs.

• War memorial cleaned and Church sign repainted

• Vestry cupboard shelved, old sign repaired and hung; and Churchyard gates creosoted.

• Night storage meter and equipment replaced

• New ride-on mower arrived (June) thanks to a generous donation

• Stones (2 tons) on walled graves; and sunken wild graves raised to facilitate cutting.

• Bio-diversity visit to Churchyard – no change to upkeep recommended; and monument mapping project undertaken.

• Plus, every Friday – general gardening and care of graves.

• My thanks to all concerned for their commitment and support of St John’s.

(Janice Eadington)

PROPERTY

Property

2021 was a busy year and many thanks to those who helped on maintenance tasks. In addition to routine maintenance works including emptying gullies and gutters and small-scale repairs and replacements three major areas of work were undertaken. Firstly, completion of the refurbishment of the Parish Office which we started in 2020. During the year all windows in the office were replaced with double glazed UPVC windows courtesy of a generous grant from Bay Wind. Additional insulation was also installed in the loft space to improve the thermal efficiency of the building. The main office was also fully redecorated and new LED lighting units were installed. In the Parish Centre surveys and reports were commissioned to establish the condition of the building, the extent of asbestos present and a Fire Risk Assessment was also undertaken. The findings of the Asbestos Survey were minor but around £100,000 needs to be spent on the building to carry out the essential works set out in the other two reports. New lighting in the Theatre and a new electrical distribution board were also installed. Finally, as a result of our safety inspections several box tombs in the graveyard were stabilised during the year. Several building condition reports were also completed on the belltower and church building in connection with the Restoration Mission works.

(Phil Huck)

Restoration Mission

17

The Restoration Mission group, formerly the buildings group, has been meeting over the year to progress plans for the refurbishment of the church buildings. Initiated from the Master Plan, developed previously by the architect, the primary brief of the group is to identify the scale and scope of the work necessary to address the issues with the building and to advise the PCC on ways forward and possible funding options.

Originally working on the brief from the master plan, with a nominal estimate of £1.4 million to address structural issues in the main church building and bell tower; refurbish the parish centre; improve the church office building and resurface the car park.

The group has sought to flesh out the plan and attach accurate costs to the work. Much of our time during the year has been occupied with trying to gather accurate estimates and costs for the work and to explore possible sources of funding. One major source of funding is the National Heritage Lottery Fund and we have been preparing an application with some guidance from a fundraising consultant. One consequence of the pandemic was that NLHF initially stopped taking applications whilst it concentrated on funding emergency Covid related projects. When applications reopened, we discovered that they had revised their criteria and experienced a change of staff which meant rethinking our bid.

Having established some overall costs and scope for the work on the main church building, we realised that the necessary works to restore the tower and main church building were significantly greater than previously thought. We also commissioned a building conditions survey and Fire Risk assessment of the Parish Centre which highlighted further works necessary to maintain the building in an operable form.

In view of these developments, it was concluded that the group could not continue to develop plans for the buildings until the PCC decided on where we should prioritise our efforts. A report was submitted to the PCC which has initiated a period of prayer and consultation to ascertain what the priorities for developing our buildings to fulfil our aim of “making our buildings fit for mission” should be. An infographic document has been produced which summarises the issues around the church and parish centre in an effort to assist in decision making.

The work to refurbish the bell frame in the tower has been completed, with funds raised by our bellringers and a herculean effort by volunteers in partnership with Nicholson’s specialist bell restorers. Particular thanks to Hugh Pettifer who has spent many hours on the project.

The parish office has undergone a refurbishment with new insulation, roof and windows together with an improved heating system and redecoration. These improvements, together with the working practice changes experienced during the pandemic means that the building is now much better suited to purpose.

Throughout the year, we have continued to work in partnership with Ulverston Food Waste Project by providing the upstairs and kitchen of the Parish Centre at a subsidised rental.

18

Despite the restrictions of the pandemic, FUNdraising efforts have continued through the Makers Market and other initiatives and generated over £8,000 to the project.

One consequence of the application to HLF is that we have developed the heritage narrative of the church by producing a number of trails and completing the Monument Mapping Project, a pioneering initiative to catalogue all of our memorials and gravestones and make them available on a digital platform.

A group of dedicated volunteers organised our first ever Heritage Open Day, as part of national Heritage week, which attracted over 250 visitors and promoted links with local craftspeople.

I would like to thank the team (Colin Dykes; Helen Huck; Kristen Negaard; Anthony Bryson; Elizabeth Thompson; Nick Blakey; Alan Bing) and Phil Huck for their support and work over the year.

GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE

Deanery and Mission Community

The Furness Deanery Synod met twice in 2021 – both times as joint meetings with the Barrow Deanery Synod, which has enabled us to hear from and share with a wider range of people and churches in this area. A variety of topics were discussed, including 'Living in Love and Faith', safeguarding, and the streamlining of committees within the Mission Community and Deanery structures.

(Matt Topping)

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is God’s love in action, affects everyone and is everybody’s responsibility.

During 2021 at UPC we have been bringing all our volunteer agreements in line with national guidance from the House of Bishops. The process is known as Safer Recruitment and a great deal of work has been put in as Leads work towards to completing this process for their teams.

So, first of all, a huge thank you to all volunteers and leaders who have been working together on this project, creating or updating job descriptions, completing forms, requesting or giving references, making the appropriate necessary declarations, undertaking safeguarding training and if required submitting information required for DBS. Thank you all.

Safer recruitment is progressing steadily with four teams completed, five in progress and two about to begin. Looking forward this work has established a process for safer recruitment of volunteers.

19

Anyone completing a DBS check is asked to consider joining the free Government DBS Update Service if they feel this would be appropriate for them. We are grateful to volunteers who have joined. This means they will not need to renew their DBS (now three yearly for most appointments) but give consent for the PSO to review the DBS status online when due.

Many volunteers have completed online Basic Awareness and Foundations safeguarding training via the Church of England safeguarding training portal. Safeguarding Leadership training is now available to be booked online and has been completed by a number of leaders with others having dates booked in early 2022. Several people have also completed a session on Domestic abuse training.

None of these training modules is easy viewing and the subject matter may cause participants to feel upset or distressed. Those who have taken part have an improved understanding of the issues discussed and are better equipped to serve. https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/

ChurchSuite is a church management system that is designed to support the day-to-day management of churches. This year, a small group has been working to update and streamline the information held in ChurchSuite to keep the safeguarding records up to date, with reminder emails for volunteers when updates are due.

The PCC formally adopted the House of Bishop’s “Promoting a Safer Church,” safeguarding policy statement, signed and dated 31/3/19. UPC has a Parish Safeguarding Policy Statement and during the reporting period the PCC has sought to comply with the duty to have “due regard” to the House of Bishops’ guidance in relation to safeguarding. - - - https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/fles/2017 11/cofe policy statement.pdf

Future Plans:

• Complete Safer Recruitment for all teams and hand over responsibility for future recruitment to Leads of groups.

• Undertake Parish Safeguarding Audit and create action plan.

• Present a policy statement regarding Domestic abuse for approval by PCC and raise awareness

• Continue to update records held electronically on ChurchSuite and in files.

RECTOR’S LETTER

20

The past two years have probably been the most testing in all my ordained ministry. At the same time, it has been a period of great creativity and fruitfulness.

Despite, and to some extent because of, the challenges we have faced during the Covid pandemic, we could now describe ourselves as a ‘hybrid church’ - active and present both in person and online. It was not until July 2021 that we were officially permitted to sing in church, and that was when we took the decision to move back into the church building for Sunday worship. For more than a year, we had adjusted to being ‘Zoom church,’ with Junior Church beforehand and coffee break out rooms afterwards. The transition back into the building was never going to be easy, and we decided to livestream the 10.30 service from the start so that those who had to stay at home, or were unable to travel, were still able to participate. This involved another steep learning curve for us, but it has resulted in our Sunday services being accessible to anyone anywhere with an internet connection.

Also, now that we are used to conference calls, we have often chosen to host Connect Groups and other meetings online so that we can include those who might otherwise struggle to find child-care or to travel to a particular place if we were meeting in person.

For our activities with children, young people and their families, the ‘new normal’ has brought both challenges and opportunities. Although described as digital natives, children and young people generally have not enjoyed meeting online. This may be partly because it has been too much like school, but it has also been perceived as dull and awkward compared to meeting in 3D. So, it has been wonderful to see how welcome our inperson activities have been once we began to emerge from lockdown. As mentioned elsewhere, when we re-opened the Toddler Group, the youngest children were wary and shy, but they soon opened up, and began to interact in the usual way. Similarly, the youth have really appreciated the outdoor activities and trips.

In Advent 2021, we engaged in prayerful listening to God for guidance regarding the use of our buildings. Although we still face significant hurdles, not least financially, the way forward is slowly becoming clear and a consensus is beginning to emerge. We trust that, by the end of 2022, we will have a clear and agreed strategy for the development of our buildings to serve our mission.

Another ongoing development is the formation of the Furness Mission Community, with UPC serving as the main Resource Church. Within that, we have been asked to take on pastoral responsibility for the Parish of Pennington, including the school. This is a great mission opportunity, but we are having to manage the resources we put into this.

Alpha has long been a central plank of our mission. Over the years that I have been in Ulverston, God has used it to bring many to faith in Christ and to experience the power and joy of the Holy Spirit. During lockdown, we have twice run Alpha online, and have found that it has worked just as well, but in a different way. It is no exaggeration to say that Alpha has

21

brought a stream of new life into our church over recent years. Long may that continue.

After a demanding and uncertain year, I want to give thanks to all those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in using their gifts and passions in the service of Christ and his Church. In particular, I am grateful to Jill Shephard and John McKenzie, our Church Wardens, who have negotiated all the changing Covid regulations with patience and wisdom; to our Curate, Madi Simpson, who has taken on the leadership of Connect Groups and has an infectious passion for mission; to Rachel Stanbrook and our musicians, who have had to move from the digital back to the physical sphere during the year; to all those volunteer leaders and helpers with children and youth and other groups; to those who have visited and kept in touch with those who are isolated or in need.

Looking ahead to 2022, I commend to you the three priorities agreed by the PCC: to welcome children and young people into the church family; to combat the causes and effects of climate change; and to reshape our buildings for mission.

Yours in Christ

Alan

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston for the year ended 31st December 2021

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 16.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statementof Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP(FRS102)).

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming Resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is recognised.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement; the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Activities for raising funds

Letting of parish centre is recognised when due. Funds raised by the coffee morning and similar events are accounted for gross.

Income from investments

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.

Expenditure and liabilities

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation and settlement is probable and quantifiable.

Activities directly relating to the work of the church

The diocesan parish offering is accounted for when due; any parish offering unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston Notes to the Accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

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.

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements s10(2)(c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Movable church furnishings held by the rector and church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as an inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated in the financial statements over the currently anticipated useful economic life.

All the expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £2,000, or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off.

Investments held by the charity

Investments are valued at 31 December.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over five years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. Depreciation is set at 2% on non-consecrated buildings. It is the policy of the PCC to keep these buildings in their current state of repair.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restriction regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Restricted funds are those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds are provided in their own note. Endowment funds, where capital must be retained, are explained in their own note.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Key sources of estimate uncertainty

The only estimate that is made that could have a material effect on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is depreciation on fixed assets. The depreciation policy is set out above and the carrying amounts are set out in the tangible fixed assets note to the accounts.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston for the year ended 31st December 2021

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 16.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statementof Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP(FRS102)).

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming Resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is recognised.

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement; the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain.

Activities for raising funds

Letting of parish centre is recognised when due. Funds raised by the coffee morning and similar events are accounted for gross.

Income from investments

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable and interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.

Expenditure and liabilities

Recognition of liabilities

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation and settlement is probable and quantifiable.

Activities directly relating to the work of the church

The diocesan parish offering is accounted for when due; any parish offering unpaid at 31 December is provided for in these financial statements as an operational (though not a legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

PCC St Mary with Holy Trinity Ulverston Notes to the Accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

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.

Consecrated property and movable church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements s10(2)(c) of the Charities Act 2011.

Movable church furnishings held by the rector and church wardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as an inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time. For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated in the financial statements over the currently anticipated useful economic life.

All the expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £2,000, or on the repair of movable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off.

Investments held by the charity

Investments are valued at 31 December.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over five years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £2,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. Depreciation is set at 2% on non-consecrated buildings. It is the policy of the PCC to keep these buildings in their current state of repair.

Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restriction regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

Restricted funds are those funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds are provided in their own note. Endowment funds, where capital must be retained, are explained in their own note.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the financial statements of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Key sources of estimate uncertainty

The only estimate that is made that could have a material effect on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is depreciation on fixed assets. The depreciation policy is set out above and the carrying amounts are set out in the tangible fixed assets note to the accounts.
