Aim and Purpose
St Barnabas, Parochial Church Council (the PCC} has the responsibility of cooperating with
th
the Incumbent, Revd Kevin Barnard Isince 19 March 20241, in promoting in the
ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and
ecumenical.
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 en￿gernent
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. Microsoft now hosts our stbchurch.org.uk emails. Thi5 has enabled us to
securely back up our files online.

the deanery look to work closely together as partners, sharin8 in ministry and mission.

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.

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 eX￿s5 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. Members of the congregation are always encouraged to join the
Electoral Roll, and to consider standing for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concem
and importance in the parish. and for all financial matters. The full PCC met 7 times during
the year,. the average level of attendance was 80%. 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.
The Fabric Committee takes responsibility for the following: health and safety issues-
routine maintenance of the church building complex- paintin& plumbing and electrical
work,. security and cleaning. It has spending power between PCC meetings of £l,(IKI.

Annual Budget. including restricted and unrestricted funds. It has no spending powers or
decision-making power on behalf of the PCC.
