APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY Trustees The managing Trustees are the members of the PCC. The composition of the election of rnembers to the PCC is set out in SCHEME PUSUANT TO RULE 18, CHURCH REPRESENTATIVE RULES12017) THE PARISH OF KEIGHLEY, which was passed at an extraordinary PCC meeting on the 16 February 2017 and subsequently approved by the Bishop's Council of the Diocese of Leeds ahead of the APCM. The Wardens and PCC members of the Parish became trustees of the charity. The governance document defined the establishment of Local Church councils ILCCS) for each church and the relevant representation of each of the four churches on the PCC. It also defines the relevant powers and responsibilities held by the LCCS in each local church. Since an internal revision of governance, the Parish of Keighley refers to LCCS as Prayer and Planning Groups IPPGs). Ob'ectives and Activities Keighley Parish PCC and the PPGS have the responsibility of co-operating with the Clergy Team of Keighley Parish led by the Team Rector, then the Interim Leadership Team (ILT), in promoting in the eccleslastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. ILT Remarks Parlsh Report The year 2024 has been another year of challenge, change and growth for the Parish of Keighley. In June our Team Rector and one of our Team Vicars moved on to take up new positions and our Parish Curate, Rev Amy Berry was ordained Priest. Quite a monthl Area Bishop Toby Howarth and Archdeacon, Ven Andy Jolley, met with the PCC and preparation work to advertise a Vacancy began. A huge thanks to those who helped prepare the documentation. The Post of Team Rector was advertised in December but sadly there were no applicants, a meeting of the Parish representatives will be held with the Bishop and Archdeacon in January 2025 to decide how to progress. From June 2024 an Interim Leadership Team (ILT) was introduced to support decision making during the Vacancy. The Team comprised both Team Vicars, an Interim Team Vicar, two church wardens co- chairing and either the Area Dean or Assistant Area Dean in attendance. The Parish Curate is also in attendance, an observer as part of their training. Minutes are taken and disseminated to members, remaining church wardens and a SSM. The ILT has met monthly and discussed Team and Congregational wellbein8 during the Vacancy, Current and future Events, Parish staff, Safeguarding issues and other one-off issues arising. The ILT has worked hard and worked well during this time and helped to create some stability across the Parish at what could be a difficult time for congregations. In November 2024 we had the pleasure of welcoming the Parish of Ingrow with Hainworth (St John's) as it became the fourth church community in the Parish of Keighley. We look forward to working and growing together. St Barnabas St Barnabas has had a very steady year with slow growth in our Sunday congregation. The areas of real encouragement have been Messy Church and Healing Service/Revive. Messy Church, which
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY take5 place on the first Wednesday afternoon of the month, has really built momentum through 2024 and most months we have seen between 15-20 children with parents. grandparents and carers. The team are from different parts of the parish and are increasingly spending time in interactive crafts with the children as well as times of teaching and prayer in the Church. With regard to the Healing Service, we changed the name halfway through the year to more adequately reflect what goes on in the service which takes place on the first Sunday evening of the month. It was felt that calling it a healing service was too narrow, when really it is an opportunity to seek God's gentle presence and experience his love. This seprfice has continued to grow since it began in April 2023 and as well as being mult-generational it regularly brings together people from each of our four Churches. It is a real encouragement to rnany who attend. St Mark's St Marks has continued to establish itself as a local Church in Utley after many years as a gathered Church. The year has been marked by the departure of Rev'd Natasha Thomas in June, however, despite losing some significant members. the morale of the congregation has remained strong. Special thanks must go to Rev'd John Long and hi5 wife Dorothy for their care and encouragement of the worshipping community, especially for those who can no longer get to Church through ill health. The Tuesday afternoon house group has become established and appreciated by those who attend. Tea with the neighbours and a surnmer garden party have engaged with local residents in positive ways culminating in a change of time of our carol service which brought together a wide range of congregation and local friends, We have also been encouraged by two local young families who have become a regular part of our con8regation. St Andrew's St Andrew's has had a fantastic year. The year started well and then, after Mike's departure, we needed to consolidate for a while. Since then, we have continued to grow and to build as a congregation in numbers, faith, and discipleship. To support this growth, we have worked hard this year in our preaching Ministry, to build consistency and quality. There is something exciting starting to emerge in the congregation and a hunger to go deeper. It's an exciting time for St Andrew's and we look forward to seeing what God is going to do in and amongst the congregation as we seek His face, listen to His word, and encounter His Spirit. In March 2024 we purchased the Church Hall from the Methodists and renamed it the St Andrew's Community Hall. Thank you to those involved in making this happen. We have had a couple of work parties in order to do some needed cleaning work in the hall. In June 2024, it was great to welcome the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda who led us in a missional worship evening. It was great to see their faith and hear their story. We hope to welcome them back again. In August 2024, a large group of us went to New Wine in Shepton Mallett. Our children and young people had amazing provision in their groups. and generally did life together for 6 days. We're looking forNard to going back this summer St John's 2024 has been a significant year of continued growth and confidence-building for St John's, Ingrow as we have sought to be rooted more deeply into God's love and thus to grow our reach into the community as Christ's hands of blessing and our feet taking the good news of Jesus out among the 13,5(K) people in our part of Keighley. l November saw the merger of the parishes of Ingrow with
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY Hainworth and Keighley Parish - completing the relational journey that God called us to in 2018119,. a relationship that began with friendship. moved through a season of partnership. and has now become membership with all our fellow-Anglicans across Keighley, Utley, and Thwaites Brow. Grub's Up The Grub's Up congregation that meets on a Thursday evening around food is very diverse and changes every week. It is both the most vulnerable congregation, but also the one which is most surprising. The congregation was very upset to learn that Natasha was departing; she had given the congregation clear direction and identity. However, it shows the resilience of the community and the dedicated work of the volunteers that has meant that Grub's Up is a very precious worship offering in the Parish. Clvic Events / Town events Remembrance Sunday- Remembrance Day is always a key moment for St Andrews to offer itself and its Christian ministry to the town, which it dtd with dignity and professionalism. This year marked a hundred years of the inauguration of the War Memorial in Kei8hley and the adding of names to the roll of honour after many years of patient research by a team funded by the Men of Worth. It was very moving and significant moment to lead local dignitaries and ex-servicemen and women a5 well as three dignitaries from our twin town of Poix du Nord; one of whom was the granddaughter of the Mayor who had stood at the unveilin8 of the war memorial in 1924. Ukrainian Peace Vigil - Mike and Amy led a Ukrainian Peace Vigil in St Andrews in February 2024, which was well attended and BBC Look North covered the service. We continue to hold Ukraine in our prayers and support the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britian, in Keighley. Thinking Day- We were delighted to welcome Girlguides from across the district, their leaders, and families for their Thinking Day Service in February 2024. It was a moment to celebrate the amazing work that happens among young people across Keighley, helping and inspiring them to live out Girlguiding's founding values of caring, challengin& and empowering girls to fulfil their God-given potential through sharing together in fun activities. Council Carol Service- Alastair led the annual Council Christmas Carol Service this December. The Mayor, council members and a choir from Skipton all took part as Alastair pointed those present to Jesus. United Event Pentecost- Pentecost was a sunny affair this year. the service was much snappier than previous years and just about an hour long. There was an optional communion service afterwards in St Andrew's. The service was well attended from across the parish and town. Festival of Life-The Festival of Life didn't have the same weather as Pentecost, but it was still a great moment of celebration and witness. During the event someone gave their life to Christ. Please pray as we look to organise this yearfs event too. MA'S and Staff In September 2024, Hannah led on a change in our Under-fives ministry at St Mark's. The aim was to become more missional, and came with a rebrand to Mini Mark's. Hannah is continuing to build a community with the support of Kathryn and a wonderful group of volunteers.
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY Danny {Mission Apprentice Children's and Family} has been working hard in supporting schools work. Messy Church and Sunday services. Helping to see growth in our Messy Church and Sunday children's work. Jason has been expanding his ministry at the Braithwaite allotment, working with some Muslim groups, members of KEYS and Grubs Up, and providing our church school, St Andrew's, with monthly visits to the allotment. In September 2024, Ben joined our Mission Apprentice team as a Youth MA, alongside taking up a position with CLIKS a5 a Secondary School worker. Ben's focu5 With our church youth ha5 been building their friendships and community together, particularly with our 13-15 year olds. Ben ha5 started a mid-week Bible Study for those in Year 8 onward5. Caron has continued her patient and loving work among those most vulnerable in the town centre. Her confidence has grown in terms of leading and speaking at Grub's Up, supporting the Welcome Cafe and encouraging those in addiction to find freedom within the framework of KEYS. Despite losing Natasha halfviay through the year Caron has done a fantastic job modelling the love and care of Jesus to our community. She has also grown a team of incredibly passionate volunteers, without whom we wouldn't be able to run our ministries. Natasha leaving in June coincided with Duncan notice of retirement a5 the Debt Centre Manager. The Autumn saw a somewhat complicated appointment process with CAP which thankfully ended up in us appointing Laith Sweiss in November. The process has allowed us to streamline and develop closer relationships with CAP in Bradford. Laith completed his main training in November and began to see clients with Duncan's oversight around Christmas. We are deeply grateful for Duncan's ground-breaking eight years of leading the CAP centre in Keighley. Schools We have made some real inroads into schools work this year; the arrival of two CLIKS workers have supported this. Merlin Top has Amy and Cherry as Governors. In September 2024, Amvs role as Governor led to an opportunity for Amy to start and lead a toddler group on a Thursday morning. Once a month we take an assembly and run an after school Messy Church. In December we organised 'Sing at the Rin¥ which was a community carol singing event in Braithwaite in partnership with the school. It was a great success and such a joy . St Andrew's is our church school linked with St AndreS Church. We go in once a week to do an assembly, and we support the work of the school. John Long, Amiri and Mike have been Governors over this past year. We are looking to recruit a new Governor who attends a church in the parish to join the Governing Body as a Foundation Governor. Oakbank is a school where Ben {our Youth Mission Apprentice) has been starting to build a presence in and support the work going on within the school. as part of his CLIKS role. Please pray for Ben as he continues to build links and relationships and discerns well how to be a positive Christian presence within the Oakbank. Pastoral Evangelism Progress had been made in collective pastoral work across the parish with a pastoral strategy policy in place and other things starting to happen. such as two Bereavement courses. With the departure
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY of Natasha and Mike, the pastoral strategy group, along with discipleship, mission, and other strategy groups have all been placed on hold. Work on improving our external pastoral support with Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals is on-going and evolving. House Groups We have a number of small groups that meet, mainly in houses around the Parish. Some are in the evening and others happen through the day. The groups associated particularly with St Mark's and St Barnabas have both become established and have members who are notjust from one Church community which is a real encouragement. Alpha has also been run by Jo and Chris Philips. It has been very fruitful. The highlight was the Holy Spirit Day which was held at Bolton Abbey. We are grateful for the community offering their Church room for the event. God Love5 Kelghlev It only remains to thank the many people who contribute to the life of our churches in Keighley. We give thanks to God for growth and guidance. At every level there are people giving generously of time, energy, resources and finance. there are numerous people serving God in a huge number of ways. It is a joy to see the body of Christ across our town of Keighley making a difference. 'God Loves Keighley,. The mission is huge and together we look fOrard to embracing the changes and challenges of the next year in partnership with God. Keighley Interim Leodership Teom Rev Jon Berry, Rev Amy Berry. Rev frocey Roistrick. Rev Alostoir Kirk, Anji Thomson, Jill Dodsworth Electoral Roll Re ort With the confirmed closure of All Saints, we lost 36 people from the Electoral Roll. Numbers didn't change across the other three Churches, but with the merger with St John's an additional 41 people joined the Electoral Roll towards the end of 2024. St Andrew's: 108 St Barnabas: 34 St Mark's: 34 Total.. 176 Ingrow.. 41 Total at the end of 2024: 217 For the calendar year of 2025, all members of the Electoral Roll must re-apply to continue to be included.

Halliday Clark Architects - also appointed as architects for Project Beacon (planning the redevelopment and refurbishment of St Andrev/s and the St Andrew's Community Hall) - inspected both buildings and presented their report on 23rd Mav 2024. Their view was that the general condition of the church is good. Nevertheless, a substantial number of jobs are required to be done.
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH KEIGHLEY We are pleased to report that we have made substantial progress on jobs requiring immediate attention and those requiring attention within 12 months. 5-year electrical testing, including testing of all emergency lighting, With updating of documentation, is booked. For the remainder of the Quinquennial work, we will be formulating a budgeting plan so that planned maintenance can be spread over the next 4 years to the time of the next Quinquennial {2029). Annual Maintenance.. With the help of church staff and volunteers joining us for occasional work partie5 we have continued to declutter to release more space for storage and carry out some cleaning e.g. display banners/covers for the hall lights. Annual servicing of boilers, gas safety checks, and PAT testing in church and hall have been carried out. The loop system has now been fully repaired, funded by a Diocesan grant. New pew cushions for the choir stalls have kindly been made by Hazel Mosby to replace the previous worn out, uncomfortable ones. A grant is being sought to fund the replacement of halogen lights with LED lights in the main body of the church. Churchyord.. Fly tipping and general littering has been an ongoing problem. Probation Services (Community Payback Teom).. We are grateful that the Probation Services (Community Payback Team) continue to provide support in the churchyard and have committed to sweepin8 the graveyard weekly for sharps. During the very cold weather, the Payback Team have been working indoors, decorating rooms in the Church Hall and they will also be painting some small items of children's furniture. In the summer we would like to progress plans for increased car parking spaces on the land adjoining the current car park. Logbook and Property Register.. These have been checked and are up to date. In conclusion.. Until Project Beacon can be realised, we are having to weigh carefully what we decide to spend on St Andrew's church buildin8 and community hall maintenance to comply with our Quinquennial and Health and Safety requirements. while mindful of the constraints on our financial resources and the Parish budget. To date, we can give thanks for sufficient funds and voluntary help to manage what has been necessary. Coro King, Anji Thomson Church Wardens Fabric Re ort for St Mark's Quinquenniol.. Most of the significant work specified in the last report has now been completed including the professional cleaning of all the gutters of both the church and the hall.

APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH KEIGHLEY date. The church boiler was working perfectly until it was serviced in September when it then failed and required some expensive repairs. It does seem to be working satisfactorily now. Health and Safety walkaround.- This highlighted that all emergency lightin8 should be fully tested annually and that a record be kept. Most other items were compliant with legislation. The Church Hall.. Extensive work has been carried out this year to comply with fire safety regulations; these include 2 new correct fire doors fitted to the top of the stairs and also into the Gibson room. There has been fitting of anti-vandal panels to the bottom outside door which is also now fitted with a push bar exit. All signage is now correctly applied to all fire exits and a new fire bell to replace the previous whistle has been installed. Shortly an integrated wireless alarm system will be fitted that will cover the whole of the hall and the Gibson room area. The gas cooker and boiler in the kitchen should have a service and gas safety annually- this is now due. There was also some repainting in the hall and repositioning of notice boards in preparation for the wedding held there last August. There is still a need for outside repainting of the windows at the lower level and also the re- varnishing of the doors and windows at the top The church grounds.. The loose handrail has now been repaired. There has been significant trimming back of the privets bordering Skipton Road with a general tidy up of the overgrown area to the side of the hall. Last summer extensive repairs and full repainting of the outside play area used by Mini- Marks for the children was carried out. Monthly prayers and pastries.. Thanks must be given to the faithful group who turn up every time to undertake all the tasks such as cleanin& some maintenance, changing the banners and all the other apparent menial jobs that are so essential to the running of St Marks.

And finally, thanks to everyone for helping keep our outside space safe and clean and tidy. Jill Dodsworth, Church Worden Church on the Green Nei hbourhood Foundation The Buildings Steering Group and the Foundation trustees of Project Beacon laid down several key tasks and targets to be achieved in the year. The focus of these was to ensure that both the Planning Application and the Faculty Application were filed respertively with Bradford Council and Diocese of Leeds before 31" Dernber. This target was met. Being able to meet this target was helped
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEKHLEY significantly by securing a grant for the acquisition of the former Methodist Hall, now designated St Andrew's Community Hall. The preparation of the applications did require engaging several specialist consultants and continual work of the architects, Halliday Clark. The required funds to meet these commitments was achieved as a result of generous donations and steady contributions from various individuals across the parish. Several individuals also pursued fundraising activities. It is anticipated that the outcome of the two applications will be known early Spring 2025. We hold our breath! During the past year, the Foundation trustees and Buildings Steering Group have met on six occasions each as we continue to keep under review the strategy for moving forward and aspects of the concept design which may require tweaking. Consultations with congre8ation5 from across the parish took place at the beginnin8 of the year, with the process being repeated at the Festival of Life in the Summer and culminated with a two-day public event in the Airedale Shoppin8 Centre in September. In each instance the responses have been very positive and encouraging. Building Prayers continues on the third Saturday morning of each month at St Andrew's whereby the presence of his Spirit, God has met with us on every occasion. But the sessions will always benefit from more people joining usl It has been a year of enormously hard work, but the goal is now nearer than it was when we set out six-and-half years ago. There remains a long journey ahead. The year was not without its sadness and the 8uildin85 Steerin8 Group and Foundation trustees put on record their immense 8ratitude for the work, vision, commitment and generosity of Howard Carter, our dear colleague and friend. We feel his loss very deeply. Greg Thomson Chair. Church on the Green Neighbourhood Foundation On behalf of the Buildings Steering Group & Foundotion trustees Safe uardin With our busy Parish life and many activities this continues to be a busy role. Personal safeguarding concerns are raised by both individuals, the clergy and other staff and are managed as required with support from the diocese as necessary. Individual information is shared on a need-to-know basis only. Worship agreementslsafety plans are reviewed annually with any necessary action needed in the meantime taken. DBSS are sought and renewed as necessary. As the Diocese will no longer accept the update service, new certificates have to be applied for every three years. In compliance with Diocesan requirements, we have tightened up our recruitment processes and two references are required for anyone undertaking a new role regardless of how long they may have been in the Church. Many parishioners now undertake the Church of England training online on an individual basis. In 2025 we would hope to undertake some group trainin& but need to be informed of people's 10
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH Crf KEIGHLEY availability. In 2024, several group training session5 took place. and we worked c105ely with local Churches to help them with their safeguarding. With St John's merging, plans are in place to ensure that any necessary DBSS are applied for once the PCCS merge. Each Church should have its own safeguarding lead to whom the congregation can turn for advice. In St Barnabas this is Racheal Mulcock who is also my deputy and can now process DBS applications and access the Diocesan data base, in St John's this is David Butterfield but unfortunately since Andrew Makin left, we have a vacancy at St Mark'5. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any safeguarding concerns, no concern is too small. Hozel Mosby Sofeguording Lead Financial Review The Parish of Keighley accounts consist of General (Unrestricted) funds, a number of smaller funds and appeals, Outreach Missions and Projects run by the Parish, in addition to the valuation of the North Street building and other funds endowed through legacies as investments. All donations and legacies received during 2024 totalled £366,086 (Prior year £349,396), a 5% increase. The income was supported by £65,292 from SDF grant towards Mission Apprentice, Pastoral Evangelist, and the Administrator salaries while £32,000 was received from grants toward projects across the Parish. We were also very grateful for one off donations totalling £13,943 across the Parish. The gift aid on our general funds appears to decrease by 16% to £19,595 (Prior year £23,433) this is due to a different way of reporting as we transition to The Parish Giving Scheme. The rental income increased by 80% in 2024 {£10,601) from 20231£5,876) due partly to systems that have been put in place by the trustees to improve income through better marketing campaigns and offering competitive market prices and partly to claiming rent owed across the Parish. Investments and bank interest in the general funds increased from £13,138 to £13,874. The Margaret Waddington funds £2,302 {Prior year £1,705) have done well. However, the trustees are actively seeking, at an appropriate moment, to sell the shares that are providing the income and also to use the capital held to finance much needed repairs and improvements to St Barnabas Church Hall. Accordingly, the interest and dividend income will reduce significantly. Overall, the total incorne received £433,5S2, a 7% increase from the previous year £405,423. The total resources used have also increased by 22 % to £485,267 from £395,936 in the previous year. The difference of £51,715 is a number of planned expenditures from restricted funds that have been accumulated for specific purposes i.e. the new tarmac entrance at St Barnabas. The total salaries paid by the Parish were £150,726 of which 22% (£34,330} comes directly from the Parish. The balance is made up of grants and existing funds and restricted funds donated. Goingforward.. The Parish now comprises of 4 churches With the addition of St John's Church in November 2024. The St John's 2024 accounts and reports have been prepared separately. 2025 accounts will be for the new Parish of Keighley and a budget has been prepared and agreed accordingly. 11
APCM 11.05.25 THE PARISH KEIGHLEY Keighley Parish with its range of buildings has been subjected to similar challenges to every household across the land. Of particular concern are the utility bills which have risen threefold over the last year. l appreciate all the effort the church wardens and group leaders and volunteers have been making to keep energy costs to a minimum. As such I would also ask you all to prayerfully consider increasing your giving, if at all possible, annually. I would like to recommend the Parish Giving Scheme to all members of the Keighley Parish congregations which can be set to do this automatically if required. The Parish has paid 97% of the shares to the Diocese totalling £97,954 of £101,223 requested (Prior year 100% paid, £106,5511. Reserves Poliry.. It is PCC policy to retain the balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to three months planned regular expenditure based on the last reported 12 months. Thls policy was reviewed as part of the financial review and budgeting process. Going Concern.. Forecasts have been prepared for the period to 2025-26 to stress test several scenarios on the Parish's cash resources and unrestricted reserves. Based on the work we have performed, the PCC has not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast signif icant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The PCC had prepared forecasts for the period to 2025 based on a number of scenarios and have considered the impact upon the Parish, its cash resources, and unrestricted reserrfes. The PCC also has some investments which could be released if required. The accounts have been prepared on a going concem basis and all necessary measures taken and adopted.
