Achievements and Performance

Dear Friends,

Welcome to this year’s annual report, we are indebted to Colin for bringing it all together and a thank you to all those who have submitted reports. I can’t help but feel that if this report was to be rediscovered in fifty years’ time, the reader might understand its historical importance. Southgate Methodist Church in the throws of a pandemic. This report tears at my heart strings as I personally remember those who have been promoted to glory. It also reflects the chaotic stopping and starting of our activities as government guidelines changed.

As ever, there are challenges before us, property, finance, mission and evangelism and we will continue to grapple with those things over the coming weeks and months ahead.

This is a historic document but within its pages we find the story of the church re-emerging. It has been lovely to see members of the congregation returning to worship, slowly but surely. Confidence is building and once again we are starting to see people and organisations coming through our doors, some of them for the first time. There are some things that are changing, some things that we cannot do any more and yet, that is nothing to beat ourselves up over.

It was lovely to be in the building a couple of weeks ago and to hear boys and girls enjoying their activities together in the Brigade. It has been lovely to come into the new Snackatak and see new people walking in and enjoying good company along with a very tasty menu.

It is right that somethings change, however God’s love never does, it is constant. I pray that this coming year may be a blessed one and that each of us might experience times of joy and resurrection within our lives and the life of our Church.

Rev Colin

Church Stewards

We started the year at the beginning of September 2020 by holding our first service in Church since March, due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Services were shorter and rather different to usual with social distancing, no singing, masks needing to be worn, a retiring collection and no readers from the congregation. So the job of the stewards had changed: there were some things we didn’t need to do but instead we have had to prop all the doors open, disinfect all touch points and record who was present for track and trace purposes. We had an average attendance of about 20 at these services.

At the beginning of October, we were able to celebrate our Harvest Festival. Goods suitable for the food bank were donated and a small display was organised by the Stewards. At the beginning of November, we welcomed Chris Partington as a fully-accredited local preacher at a service that was held at St Andrews, Hebden Royd and Southgate simultaneously using Zoom. We also had an All Souls Service that evening. Then the government imposed another lockdown so that we couldn’t hold any services on the last 4 Sundays in November.

Services re-started in December when we were already into Advent. The Stewards decorated the Church for Christmas with a few willing helpers. We were unable to hold all our usual Christmas services, but as a new venture we held an open-air carol service outside Bethesda on Christmas Eve which was quite successful. A midnight communion was held, as was a service on Christmas Day morning.

At the end of 2020, three of our Stewards, Anne , Howard and David completed their 3-year term of office and we thank them for their work as Stewards. As we hadn’t had a General Church Meeting, and in the circumstances, it would have been very difficult to approach people as replacements, no new Stewards were appointed which would have left Christine and I as the only two stewards. However, I am very grateful that Lesley agreed to continue as a Steward initially for 6 months and then for a full year. I assumed the mantle of Senior Steward. So the three of us are the Church Stewards for the current calendar year. To fill the rota of stewards for services we are very grateful to Keith and Jenny, Kay, Alwyn and Ray and Margery for acting as our assistants.

Following the first Sunday in January, the government imposed another lockdown. This time churches were allowed to continue to hold services, but we along with most others decided that it was prudent not to do so.

We decided to restart services again on Easter Sunday at the beginning of April, when we resumed our usual practice of decorating the cross with flowers at the start of the service and then displaying it outside the front door afterwards.

As from the 25[th] July, following removal of most government restrictions, we allowed the congregation to remove their masks whilst seated and we resumed singing. The coffee lounge was re-opened after Sunday morning worship on 8[th] August. It was hoped that allowing singing and re-opening the coffee lounge would cause more people to attend worship. This didn’t happen initially but numbers started to increase during September.

Throughout the periods when we were unable to hold services in Church and periods when not everyone felt able to attend due to the pandemic, Online Services were recorded each week and posted on the Southgate Hub and/or YouTube. The last of these was for Sunday, 25[th] July. It was decided to cease producing them as less people were viewing them and because as other activities were re-commencing, the team were unable to commit the time needed to produce them. I would like to give a huge thank you to the team of Rev Colin, Andrew and Chris and occasional visitors who not only led the services but recorded and edited them and provided the music.

I would like to thank Lesley and Christine for their support during a year that has been quite different to normal.

Treasurer

Annual Figures: Income £ 78,714 Expenditure £ 68,215

Funds Held:

General Fund (combined) Memoriam Fund Property Reserve Fund TMCP Investments	1 Sep 2020 £ 28534 £ 6249 £ 6618 £ 86050 £127271	31st August 2021 £ 38835 £ 6257 £ 1627 £ 86050 £ 132769

Notes

1) Combined general fund is made up of:

General Account

Property Account

Office Account

General & Property Fund Central Finance Board Deposit Accounts

2) Memoriam Fund, which receives interest and donations from the family & friends of lately deceased members/adherents.

3) TMCP Investments (use of which is subject to certain restrictions covering bequests & model trusts).

Treasurer's Report

The Standard Form of Accounts has been completed on a receipts & payments basis. There have been no serious incidents.

Southgate has continued to function throughout the Connexional year, although with much disruption caused by the continuing pandemic crisis, and with income streams badly affected. The Finance & Property Committee appointed a small sub-committee consisting of the Treasurer, the F&P Chairman and Secretary, and the Minister, to take tight control of all day to day finances, and to robustly examine all expenditure. The Church Council has been kept fully informed, and both the F&P Committee and the Church Council continue to be involved in the actions we are taking to maintain a steady course. Southgate is very fortunate to have a diligent F&P team, and I repeat without apology my sincere thanks to Howard Pickles for his invaluable support and assistance, given freely. As Treasurer I have been greatly supported by Howard, and, indeed the other sub-committee members in the challenging situations we have faced this year.

Income of £78714 is less than the previous year (£82,658). Expenditure of £68215 is less than the previous year (£124,672). Although, on the face of it, this is an encouraging result, it needs to be pointed out that £1479 of the income figure is the Girls’ Brigade’s closing funds, which are being held by Southgate pending onward transmission to a nominated cause. We also owe O&C Crawshaw’s several thousand pounds for work carried out on our premises which has not yet been invoiced.

We have received all our due Gift Aid refunds promptly this year. Gift Aid is not ‘extra income’, but income we budget on receiving year to year. We continue

to benefit from the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS). We have once again received several one-off or regular donations (some Gift Aided) from friends old and new, offering support, for which we are grateful. I repeat my reminder to members that it is essential that we ensure that all Gift Aid claims are accurate and verifiable. All providers of Gift Aid declarations have a personal legal responsibility to be certain that they pay sufficient income tax for Gift Aid donations to Southgate to be claimed.

Cashflow has been somewhat affected this year, and I have once again had to make transfers of funds from the church’s deposit accounts at CFB to support the general account, totalling £15,000. Cash flow has been helped once again due to the number of people who pay their weekly collection by standing order. I cannot stress too highly how important this regular income stream has been. Many members have once again managed to review and increase their weekly giving, which is much appreciated.

Ongoing costs for utilities continue to be reviewed. We remain part of the Circuit’s 'buying group' scheme, which secures cheaper prices for gas & electricity than if we negotiated our own tariffs. This is important, given the size and normal usage of our premises. This time last year I reported on a dispute about utility costs following a changeover in suppliers. This dispute was ultimately resolved at no cost to Southgate, and with all additional costs refunded. Thanks are due to Keith for his diligence in making sure the matter got resolved. Unfortunately, in a recent development, our new supplier has ceased trading, and we have now been placed by OFGEM with British Gas for our energy. At the time of writing it is not known how this will impact on the price we pay for our energy.

We continue to be covered by Methodist Insurance, which provides a highly specialised service to Methodist organisations. We have had two claims this year following repeated vandalism by young people getting onto the roofs of our shop premises. Both claims were promptly and sympathetically handled.

The suite of premises at Southgate is regularly inspected and cleaned, necessary to ensure the cleanliness and safety of our premises both for us, and our hirers. The costs of inspections and cleaning are met from the income we receive from our hirers and shop tenants, whose rent also contributes to the funds we maintain for repairs and other unexpected costs. This income has, of course, been badly affected during the year. David efficiently managed the task of booking and invoicing our hirers, and we were sorry to learn of his death just after the end of the Connexional year. David will be much missed. Southgate has been supported throughout the year by HM Government’s Job Retention Scheme to help with the cleaner’s wage costs. We have topped up the cleaner’s wage to her usual amount whilst she has been furloughed.

Our parade of shops still provides a vital income. We again had to allow a holiday in rents during the second lockdown period, but income from the shops has now resumed. We benefited in July from a grant of £4000 via Calderdale Council from a government fund to assist voluntary groups/places of worship which lost out financially because of the effects of the pandemic.

Southgate continues to hold a capital sum of £86,050 with TMCP in Manchester. We benefit from the income generated by this sum. We are able to access the capital funds for approved projects, and, if necessary, to support general income. It is a sign of the cautious and close eye that we have kept on finances that we have not needed to access the funds to prop up the general account during the year, despite every forecast we made assuming that we would have to do so. The sum at TMCP is occasionally added to in the form of legacies from deceased members and friends, and we are grateful to those who choose to support Southgate with generous donations in this way. Southgate also maintains a modest Memoriam Fund, into which is paid funds given in memory of deceased members and friends, most usually in the form of funeral collections. These funds are used to pay for smaller scale projects, with the Church Council’s approval.

There have been few opportunities for fundraising this year, but we were glad to receive £125.68 from the re-opened after worship coffee bar.

Reserves, and the Reserves Policy continue to be reviewed. As a general rule, incoming resources should be used to meet general expenditure. It is for the Church Council, as Managing Trustees, to maintain and review strategies of building up reserves, and to ensure net income & expenditure are as close as possible. Managing Trustees are reminded of their legally binding obligations and requirements to exercise prudence and provide good governance at all times.

Thanks are due to Keith & Jenny for managing the Sunday collections, to Sue for dealing with the payroll & HMRC Job Retention work, and to Anne & Howard for looking after the envelope scheme and gift aid. Since the sad death of John last year, the annual church accounts are now being examined on a commercial basis by Messrs BM Howarth Ltd. This remains a detailed and time consuming task, which has to be carried out before the accounts can be presented to the Church Council for acceptance and onward submission to the Circuit, the District, and the Connexion. Both Howard and I were grateful to Heather at Howarth’s for her assistance last year at very short notice, and for the suggestions she made which have improved the presentation of the accounts going forward.

I too am grateful for the support and assistance I receive from so many people. The work of the Treasurer continues to be a challenge, and the help I receive is quite invaluable.

All good gifts around us are sent from Heav’n above.

Andrew

Finance and Property Committee

Another strange year to report upon.

Once again thanks to all who in any way have helped to keep our buildings clean, tidy, repair free and even at times open.

All the usual and required inspections / services have been carried out, again without any major problems. Even when buildings were empty it was necessary to do this, to keep them safe and legally able to be occupied and used when open.

The only major works carried out have been two repairs to shop roofs following vandalism and a blown pipe in the boiler room.

The roof repairs were covered by Insurance claims, and the Police were involved when good images of the vandals were found on our CCTV cameras.

Room hire again took a big hit, as did the income from the shops when tenants were granted rent holidays whist being forced to close

However, things are now beginning to return to some form of normality, with bookings increasing, and church organisations re-opening.

Unit 6 and Unit 7 tenants have renewed their leases for a further three years, and all the shops are back open and again paying full rent.

Thanks once again to everyone involved.

Keith

Pastoral Committee

Can't believe I am writing another Annual Report when we haven't had a meeting for 2 years, where has that time gone !!!!

Well for starters I must say a big THANK YOU to our Pastoral Visitors for doing as best they can to keep in touch with all our members, which at times has not been easy. Also to the "Bulletin Team" whether producing it or printing off copies and delivering to people who don't have internet access, you haven't gone unnoticed THANK YOU ALL.

Sadly we have lost some members since Covid began and our thoughts, love and prayers go out to all their families who are grieving in very strange and difficult times. Our members and friends - Godfrey, Irene, Maude, Jim, Helen, Harry, Graham, Stuart, Clifford & David

11 -

There is to be a Re-dedication Service on the 7th November and then hopefully we can arrange to have a meeting to discuss our way forward.

Finally THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed in any way to keeping Southgate "Together" in the last 12 months, you know who you are, no names necessary, "Just doing God's Work".

Jenny

Mission

For many years David has looked after our fund raising for missions and also the distribution of the funds raised. Earlier this year David resigned from this position and on behalf of the church I would like to express our thanks to him for all the hard work he has put in looking after this important part of our ministry.

As we all know things have not been the same this year. In previous years money has been raised through Friday Coffee Mornings, Donations, Easter Offerings and the Advent Offering. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, the only fund raising during the last Church Year was through the Easter Offerings 2021 when £161.88 was raised for the Methodist Church World Mission Fund.

Margery

Operation Christian Welcome

There is little to say except the project has been on hold for 18 months but we are hoping to re-start our monthly Friday evening again soon. Further details will be in the weekly bulletin as and when there is more information.

Andrew

Baptismal Roll

We have only been able to hold one baptism this year and it took place after Sunday Service where we welcomed Ruby Rose and her family. The baptism of Ruby was conducted by Reverend Colin. Along with the Baptism Certificate a book of bible stories was given to Ruby.

Anne

The Boys’ Brigade

The 5[th] Halifax (Elland) Boys’ Brigade enjoyed another eventful session, despite the circumstances, during 2020-21. We met in person whenever the

12 -

government allowed which meant we could meet for the majority but not the full session.

The retention of our members has been pleasing in the circumstances and shows that the programme of activities we provide is appealing to our young people. We didn’t actively recruit during 20-21 due to the restrictions placed on us however, some new members did join us during the session. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents and guardians of our members who are extremely supportive and are brilliant at recommending us to their friends and family. We particularly appreciate their patience and support over the past year as we’ve adapted to a different way of working.

The Boys Brigade nationally have been excellent this year in bringing out guidance and new resources to help Companies return to face-to-face meetings within the guidelines set out by the Youth Council and the government. Resources have been brought out on a monthly basis and have been suitable for both face-to-face and virtual meetings. During the period where we couldn’t meet in person, we did a few virtual meetings. The most successful of these was led by Bricktopia (formally Bricks4Kidz) who ran a Lego based evening for our Anchors and Juniors. Ultimately, virtual sessions are a pale imitation of our usual Wednesday night experience and as a staff group, we felt this wasn’t for us. Therefore, we limited these to a handful of evenings.

I’m pleased to say that we have a good group of young people who are a pleasure to work with each week. They can be a lively bunch at times but we do have a lot of fun on our Wednesday nights. Unfortunately, we were once again unable to go on our annual residential trip. We hope to return to Kirkham in 2022.

Our team of Officers and helpers do a fantastic job; I would like to thank all the Officers and helpers for their continued work with the Company and to everyone else that has lent a hand over the last year. On behalf of the Company, I would also like to thank David for fulfilling the role of treasurer once again this year.

We are always looking for help to staff our Wednesday night sessions. If you feel like this could be for you, get in touch with me using the details below and we can arrange to have an informal chat.

Thanks go to the Elland Stedfast Association for their continued support of the Company. I would encourage any former BB members to join the Association if they haven’t done so already, see John, Sheila or myself for details. The Association usually runs several events throughout the year, hopefully this will resume in 2021/22. Please keep a look out for details and support if you can.

Our fundraising has been limited during the past year for obvious reasons. We have plans to resume our regular Table Top Sales/ Craft Fairs in 2021/22 and

13 -

have our first sale planned for October 2021. Our fundraising has been supplemented by our Easyfundraising account which we are hoping to build on in 2021/22. If you shop online, you can go through their website and the retailer donates a small percentage of the transaction to the Company. All the major online retailers are on the website and it is free to both the shopper and the Company. To find out more go to:

We continue to have a strong online presence through our Facebook and Twitter pages and our company website. This has been invaluable in keeping in touch with our members over the past year. Our Facebook page is great at raising awareness of the BB in Elland and we have seen plenty of our posts reach several hundred people. Our addresses are below, feel free to follow/like our pages…

We have had an exciting summer period during which Elland Girls Brigade have merged with us. We are pleased to welcome both Amy and Cath as members of staff as well as the former GB members who have joined us. We are excited to be able to provide activities to all the young people in Elland (and beyond) for the first time in our history.

In planning for the new session, we have aimed to combine the best of the Boys Brigade and the best of the Girls Brigade so we can offer something truly special to the young people in our community. It promises to be an exciting year full of new opportunities for our members, the organisation and the Church.

Finally, thank you on behalf of the Company for all of your support throughout the year.

James

The Girls’ Brigade

In January 2021 it was the 60[th] anniversary of 1[st] Elland Girls’ Brigade. Over these years GB has welcomed hundreds of girls and provided numerous opportunities, enjoyment and fellowship. We give thanks for all the good times we have had, and the many happy memories made. We remember the camps, the theme park trips, Blackpool Rallies, pantomime & cinema trips, outdoor activity adventures, playing tambourines (not just at Southgate but at the Albert Hall!), carnival floats, parades, Parents & Friends evenings, the list goes on……. We give thanks to our former Captains, Leaders & Helpers who made all this possible.

14 -

Sadly, we were not meeting in January to mark this special occasion, but we did open our doors back in June and after a year of being away we welcomed back 21 girls. Unfortunately, due to people isolating we never actually managed to get everyone together on the same night and whilst thinking of activities to do while socially distancing was tricky, we did manage to have fun and it was wonderful to have the girls back at Southgate.

This summer has seen several leaders tender their resignations. Dawn & Vickie resigned as leaders and I resigned as team leader. With no one able to take on the team leader role and a serious shortage of leaders this meant that 1[st] Elland GB would struggle to continue in September. After contacting our Chaplain, we were extremely grateful to James and the BB leaders for providing an opportunity for the girls to join them on a Wednesday evening.

At our AGM it was decided that 1[st] Elland GB would officially close and that GB members would be invited to join with the BB on a Wednesday. Glen is already a BB leader and Amy will be joining as a leader along with Cath as a welcome steward. I wish the leaders, boys and girls all the very best for the future in this exciting new venture.

Helen

Social & Drama Group

The pandemic, as with everything else, brought any thought of stage production to a standstill. This year also brought the loss of many stalwarts of pantomime and musicals as well as plays. In particular I refer to Maude, Graham, Helen and Jim. We weep for their loss but give thanks for their lives and the great joy every one of them gave to hundreds of people through their work both on and off stage. The future of the Social and drama group is unknown. All in God's hands . Please pray for the best way forward.

Wilma

Southgate Caterers

The coronavirus pandemic effectively shut down all our operations around provision of food at Southgate and to date has not been re - established. This is also due to the sad loss of so many of our church members and friends because of covid and other illnesses and I would like to pay tribute to them all.

They are so so missed and have left a huge hole in our hearts that can never be filled. It will be difficult to carry on but carry on we must. They would have wanted it. With that in mind and to honour their contributions each one gave to the Southgate caterers and Philia lunches, a small group of us are starting up coffee bar on a Friday. Sadly we are aware we do not have the capacity to

15 -

bring back Shoppers lunch or Philia lunches but we intend to bring slightly different aspects to Friday mornings.

Please watch this space for the future of catering at Southgate.

Thanks to everyone in the past who gave such dedicated service. And with all the saints and God's help we go forward into the future.

Wilma
