Objertives and Activlties The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our Church. and to become part of our parish family. When planning our activities, the PCC is aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. and in particular the specific guidance on charitie5 for the advancement of religion. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer. scripture. music and sacrament. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish family, through: Worship and prayer: learning about the Gospel, and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish- Mission and outreach work. To facilitate this work, we must maintain the fabric of the Church complex of St Barnabas, Main Street, Swanland. North Ferriby HU14 3QP. The proceedings of the porochial church council and the ortivities of the parish generally Achievements and Perfomiance During the interregnum. before our new vicartook up his post. we continued to meet every Sunday thanks to the support of members of our congregation and visitors who led, and for visiting vicar5 who enabled us to have at least one communion service each month. The PCC are grateful for this support. The interregnum ended and we were delighted to welcome Reverend Kevin Barnard as our new vicar. who was appointed as Vicar of the Benefice of Swanland and Instituted and Inducted at St Barnabas church by the Bishop of Hull on 19th March 2024. The PCC are looking forward to the church growing in spiritual commitment and numbers, with increased community engagement with a new sense ofoptimism.
During 2024. the significant decisions taken by the PCC were: Giving The level of giving had fallen below the level necessary to support the costs to the diocese of an incumbent. The PCC agreed to prioritise a steady increase in the Free Will Offering {FWO} by focusing on regular giving and holding a Stewardship Day. During 2024 we were able to raise the FWO from a projected £25,0 to £32,500 and to budget £40,CKKJ for 2025 Heating The original gas-dependent heating system was becoming unreliable. The PCC agreed to explore replacing it with renewable energy systems funded by the Welcome Legacy. This became more urgent in Ortober when the old system became unsafe to use. We are in the process of obtaining planning permission and Faculty. Safeguarding The PCC reviewed and adopted our Safeguarding Policy and Action Plan and there is monitoring of compliance with it at every meeting. Projector The overhead screen was difficult to read during services. After exploring the cost of a new projector, the PCC agreed to the replacement of the projector bulb as an interim measure. Accessibility The PCC responded to requests for handrails on either side of the external step5 of the church. This was planned in 2024 but delayed until the beginning of 2025 when some damaged tiles would also be repaired. This benefits the church congregation and others who use the church complex such as U3A members. Community engernent The PCC agreed to promote and host the annual Saltmine Christma5 pantomime. A nativity play by church members performed in the church for children from the village school was also appreciated by staff and children alike. Open Chapel The PCC agreed to keep the lounge open to all who come through the doors ofthe church complex whethercongregation or from the community. This is an initial step towards having an open chapel. The PCC continued to support and maintain church activities as follows.. Worship and Prayer The PCC is keen to offer a range of services which our community will find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Our 10 am Sunday services vary throughout the month, offering worship-group led modern songs, with new songs being introduced to the congregation, and traditional hymns led on the organ. Following fallin8 numbers of children, we have redeveloped our "All Age" service on the first Sunday of the month as a new service of "Morning Praise". We hold 2 communion services a month.
The average Sunday adult attendance at the 10am Service is fairly stable at around 45. drawing from a worshipping community estimated to be around 70 adults and children. Christmas and Easter services were well attended. Sadly, few children attend regularly: averaging 5 over the year, although this has recently declined to l or 2. We paused running "Barneys" for primary-aged children on a Sunday morning after the family with children of this age left. The Ignite Group. which had moved to South Cave to be run by another church. formally closed during the year. However we were able to start a new group foryoungteenagers every other Sunday morning called "Christians In Artion" (CIA) which we hope to develop and grow during 2025. During the week we run several opportunities for worship. prayer and teaching-. Church Prayer Meeting- We believe prayer is important and started a new church prayer meeting in 2024 under the leadership of Andrew Forrester. This group aims to discern the voice of God for us individually and for the church. We pray for the world. our community and ourselves. We started meeting once a month, but plan to move to twice a month in 2025. Men's Breakfast- A monthly opportunity to meet with other men at St Barnabas church. We start with breakfast and then have an informal group conversation, based on a Christian book we are working through together, about our faith and how it relates to life today. Salad Bowl- A monthly Christian Contemplation Group which welcomes people from various churche5 or none. This is 3 facilitated time to be still and be present to God, followed by a shared lunch GAPP- A monthly meeting entitled Grandparents and Parents Prayer where we pray for family members and others. Singing in St. B's- A weekly time of praising God through song. Some church members also meet in groups in their homes for Bible study. prayer and to support each other socially. The PCC thanks all those who tske so much time and care to lead and support these activities. Postoral Core For People Liwng In The Parish As well as our regular services. we enable our community to celebrate and thank God for the milestones of the journey through life. This year there have been 4 Baptisms13 adults and I babyl, I funeral which was held at the crematorium, with I thanksgiving service for a life held at the church. There have not been any weddings, reflecting the anecdotal decline
in church weddings nationally, and also St Barnabas is a non-traditional modern building which does not seem to be the first choice for couple5 Outside the congregation seeking a church wedding. In 2025, the vicar is planning to publicise more widely the availability of the church for weddings. baptisms and funerals for those in the parish. even if they do not attend. The presence of the Parish Office within the Church building means there are people around Monday toThursday to take phone calls and speakwith those who wish to call in. We are delighted the church lounge is now open to the general public during the day Monday to Thursday. This provides a quiet space for prayer in a warm environment. Next year we plan to open the chapel on the Same basis. In 2025 the vicar intends to be based in the church during the week to be more acce55ible to parishioners and the church members. Those who are no longer able to come to Church are not forgotten. On request, the vicar visits those linked to the church in their homes and a local care home. taking communion if required. We livestream our Sunday seplices. which remain on YouTube after the service for those unable to watch "live". Mi55ion ond Evongelism We are building links with the local Inon-churchl primary school Iswanland County Primary School),. Sue Forrester and the vicar took part in monthly assemblies. This included the vicar leading an Armistice Day assembly. In December we were pleased to welcome the school to the church for a Christmas play performed by member5 of our congregation. Over 400 pupils and 35 adult5 attended the performance over 2 sessions. We will be developing this work in the future. To support the parents and grandparents of the younger members of ourwider community we run'Cygnet5'. our Baby and Toddlergroup. This is a weekly meeting during term time for children under school age104+1, accompanied by their Parents / Grandparents I Carers I Childminders. Our sessions are fun and interartive and include free play time. crafts. Bible stories, and singing. The youth band ceased meeting during the year, although they have been inwted to join the new worship team leading our-First sunda Morning Praise service. We posted invitations to all residents of the parish to attend the Saltmine Production of Jack and the Beanstalk (which the PCC hosted and 5ubsidizedl and a Christmas card with details of our Christmas services. We also ran a Christmas table-decoration event at the church for the community, at which the vicar gave a Christmas message. These events were well- received.
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Whilst regular collections for Thought for Food- the ongoing food collection for the homeless and vulnerable of the Hull area, in partnership with Hull Vineyard Church ceased, we were able to offer the harvest produce we collected to a local Food Store in East Hull. As part of the Local Community, we offer our Church building to local groups and the wider church. sometime5 at a charge and sometimes free. During 2024 usage has included Brownies, Deanery Synod meetings. Healing Rooms, Polling Station, Private Parties and Events lincluding family gatherings}, U3A- Choir. U3A committee meetings, U3A- Latin, U3A meetings, and Willcott Bridge Club. We are now working more c105ely with the Swanland Village Association and other churches in the village. One new activity during the year was a joint village carol service held in Christ Church Methodi5tlURC building. The vicar also led an Act of Remembrance at the war memorial in the village on Armistice Day. as well as speaking at the Christmas Eve outdoor carol service with the Salvation Army band which was organized by Christ Church. Financially we are not in a position to support missionaries as we did in the past. although we had visits from missionaries linked with the church who updated us on their work and we prayed for them. We plan to strengthen these links in 2025. Other Artivities We have a Parish Office with a part-time paid administrator. Over the year we have improved our technology set-up. With the invaluable assistance of the Diocesan Digital Transformation Lead, as a non-profit organization we were approved to be a part of MicrosoftTech for Social Impact programme, which has provided 10 free Microsoft 365 Business Premium licences giving us access to up-to-date business and security software.

Church Fabric The onnualfobric report. os required under sertion 50 of the Ecclesi05ticolJurisdirtion ond Core of Churches Meosure 2018 We have a modern complex. comprising a chapel. hall, lounge. various small rooms and toilets. Being of 3 modern design, the thirty-three-year-old building is in good condition. having been regularly maintained. The PCC 15 the Managing Tnjstee of the freehold property and church complex buildings on Main Street. Swanland. The freehold title of thi5 is held by The York Diocesan Board of Finance Limited as Custodian Trustee. The PCC recognises in order to facilitate its work it ha5 an obligation to maintain the fabric of the St. Barnabas Church complex. The PCC is thankful to the Fabric Committee and the volunteers who carry out routine maintenance. We employ a paid part-time cleaner. The Quinquennial report was carried out successfully on 9th December 2024 with only a few recommendations. The major issue this year was the failure of the hot air heating system in the chapel, hall and foyer in October requiring us to use temporary electric heaters which are less efficient. The gas-fired radiator heating in the outer rooms which includes the ofFice, lounge, committee rooms, toilets. etc is still operational. We are planning to replace the heating Wlth a "green" system using a legacy received which we hope will largely cover the c05t. Faculty and planning permission are both required for this and have been requested. During the year general maintenance and repair work has been carried out. Notably new LED lights have been installed in the "creche" giving much improved and cheaper-to-operate lighting. This completes the LED lighting upgrade to the main areas of the church building. A new bulb has been installed in the projector in the chapel. Repairs to the front steps With handrails on either side of the steps are planned for earlv 2025. The PCC 15 grateful to Val Anderson who chairs the Fabric Committee and works tirele551y to maintain our church building. 12
Financlal Revlew St Barnabas Swanland is a non-profit making, charitable organisation. receiving an income from all sources in 2024 of £92.608 {2023: £72,483). We see all financial provisions as money for mission. Not only was this money used to pay salaries and fund various aspects of church life, but much was given away principally to the Diocese as it5 Freewill Offering which, among other things. contributes towards the Diocesan cost of our vicar. The activities of the PCC are funded almost entirely through the generosity of church member5. Total voluntary income in 2024was £75,21912023= £58,086). Total receipts in 2024 were £92.60812023= £72.4831. In 2024 total payments were £78,38412023: £67,9681. The net result for the year was an eXs5 of receipts over expenditure of £14,224 in 2024 compared to £4.515 in 2023. The PCC are pleased with the increase in income which has occurred with the appointment of our new Vicar, Revd Kevin 8arnard and a successful Stewardship Day on 13th October 2024. As noted in previous yearly reports the PCC agreed that, in order to simplify its accounting procedures. Church members are encouraged to give to the general fund rather than to restricted funds. This is Still the situation, restricted funds of £4,635 remain Reserves Policy The PCC agreed a designated reserves policy intending to have in hand about 3 months of general expenditure and six months, worth of salary this being about £24.000 to cover unforeseen expenses. This means our General Fund for 2024 now stands at £ 36,796. The PCC continues to hold as designated funds £72.651 being the remainder of a legacy received in earlier years and designated by the PCC under the title of Project Welcome Major risk5 faclng the Church The PCC acknowledges its responsibility to identify. a55ess and manage the major risks to which it is exposed. The church treatsthe Health & Safety of its members and all who come in contact with St Barnabas with great importance. The PCC maintains health and safety risk
assessments and has refreshed our fire risk assessment with further mitigating actions completed. The church constantly reviews its children, young persons and vulnerable adults Safeguarding policies in conjunction with the diocesan advisers. The PCC recognises the risk of Climate Change and our obligations to reduce our carbon footprint in line with diocesan targets. Further to the failure of our warm air heating system, any replacementlupgrade places this commitment high on the agenda of potential solutions. The PCC acknowledges that Financlal Risks exist due to the age of the church complex and the relatively low membership numbers to support a full-time stipendiary minister. 2024 saw an improvement in our aspiration to fulfil our Parish Free Will Offerin& and we expect this to continue to grow. Policies are in place to ensure safe handling and recording of cash. The PCC also recogni5es the challenge that the current Public Perception of our national church has on us reaching out to those in our parish and beyond. Strurture, Governance and Management The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent. the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll.

Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has 3 sub committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These comprise the Fabric, the Finance and the Standing Committee,. each reports to the full PCC. with the minutes of their meetings and works with the churchwardens.
