TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Ministerial Resources and Staffing
The Parish has three priests with distinct roles and responsibilities within the Team Parish, contributing to sustaining congregational life, enhancing parish development and furthering the work of God’s Kingdom: the Team Rector, the Revd Richard Bradshaw, the Team Vicar, the Revd Andrew Watson and, until the end of June, the Revd Dr Philip Smithson who was self-supporting Associate Minister to the Parish. Philip retired from this role with the anticipation of resuming ordained ministry in early 2022 with Permission to Officiate following the required pause in ministry of six months. At Petertide the Revd. Tim May was ordained deacon and joined the clergy team as Assistant Curate.
Carol Pattinson continues to work as an Authorised Pastoral Assistant (APA) as part of the ministry team. In September Allison Young received the Bishop’s Authorisation to begin ministry as a Lay Pastoral Assistant. Working closely with the clergy, Carol and Allison ensure that as many of the sick or housebound as possible are visited and receive Holy Communion when appropriate. John Pattinson and David Henderson continued in their work as Readers across the Parish, as well as having some geographical focus within the three Districts. With similar duties and responsibilities Enid Phillips continued to serve with the Bishop’s Permission in pastoral and preaching ministry as well as assisting in the leading of worship. David Henderson is also licensed to conduct funerals in which ministry he shares with the clergy.
Following the lifting of lockdown restrictions Carol Patttinson with the assistance of Enid Phillips continued to lead the quarterly Memorial Service at All Saints’ Church. John Pattinson along with Val Hughes continued to lead and develop the work of baptism preparation in the parish on the final Thursday of each month until the autumn of 2021 when, after thirty five years in this role, John stepped down. The clergy team then met to plan what the next phase of baptism preparation might be.
Carol Pattinson in her role as Authorised Pastoral Assistant continued co-ordinating the Bereavement Team. In the same way numbers of other church members continued to share in the Church’s ministry and mission in informal ways, caring for and visiting those who are known to be in need. From March 2021 the Team Rector and John Pattinson began the leading of a “Zoom service” with the residents of the Glenholme residential home until such time that the monthly Communion Service led by John Pattinson could resume.
Services
Regular congregational worship.
Between July 2020 and August 2021 following partial lifting of lockdown restrictions weekly Sunday congregational worship took place for the Parish at St Andrew’s with one Sunday service a month occurring at St Peter’s and All Saints’ on the first and third Sundays respectively. Wednesday morning Holy Communion took place weekly at St Peter’s and All Saints’. From September weekly Sunday worship resumed at all three churches. Singing also resumed although the wearing of facemasks was still encouraged whilst moving around the church when people might be engaging with one another face to face.
Plans were made in November to re-start the first Sunday of the month “Celebrate!” café-style worship at St Andrew’s at the beginning of 2022 and to include attendance at “Celebrate!” being part of baptism preparation for enquirers.
Weddings, baptisms and funeral services
Weddings were permitted to resume in 2021 although with restrictions on numbers and requirement to wear facemasks. This proved difficult to manage in some cases and on two occasions very large numbers of people arrived for weddings at St Andrew’s despite the undertaking of couples to restrict numbers to the required maximum. The requirement of mask-wearing was also largely ignored despite requests. Congregations for funerals were in general more respectful of requirements and requests to abide by guidelines were adhered to in the main. In view of concerns of the likelihood of large numbers (which at St Andrew’s particularly could typically be several hundred people pre-lockdown) and the potential difficulty in managing these, baptisms did not resume in the parish until October.
Achievements and performance

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review
2021 was, once again, a very challenging year. Buildings maintenance commitments – particularly for St. Andrew’s - continued to make heavy financial demands. The Parish Pledge Offer was £20000. Please see below for further details. The District Church Councils and Church Officers continued to work hard at seeing that money is given and raised, and that bills are paid.
The outgoings, not least in the proper conservation and care of the church buildings of the Parish, two of which are Grade 1 listed (which draw national and international interest) remain considerable.
Parish Share 2021
Pledged Paid All Saints’ £5000 £11000 St.Peter’s £5000 £5000 St.Andrew’s £5000 £7000 Parish of Monkwearmouth £5000 £5,000 £20000 £28000
The Parish of Monkwearmouth has always been committed to trying to pay the Parish Share in full. The parish is very aware that Parish Share underpins the costs of stipendiary ministry and other key aspects of ministry provision in the Diocese. Recent years have been especially challenging as congregation numbers and occasional offices (with their respective fees) have fallen. At the same time buildings costs have increased and, especially at St Andrew’s, have been, at times, very considerable. Whilst there remains an amount in reserve forecasts give a very uncertain view as to how long this will last as the current rate of building repair expenditure at St Andrew’s is unsustainable beyond the next few years.
As the church PCC and DCCs met in the autumn of 2021 it was clear that the covid lockdown had exacerbated an already extremely challenging situation and a very substantial means of income – letting fees for regular and occasional use of church buildings, income from Bede’s Bakehouse, a fall in regular giving because of the closure of churches for regular worship for many weeks and a dip in occasional offices (weddings and for a time church funerals) – was lost and would take a very considerable time to regenerate without any “quick fix solutions” in view.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
St. Andrew's Church
As in 2020 2021 was largely a “holding year” with the exception of a number of emergency repairs. The DCC Buildings Report in September 2021included completion of electrical work and extensive repairs to the church organ. Replacement of the Priestman Hall lighting was discussed with a quotation of £2100 for a complete overhaul and fitting of LED lighting with dimmer switches. This was completed at the end of 2021 with the assistance of a very generous anonymous donation. Outstanding work includes the felling of two further trees in the churchyard and repairs to the central northside pinnacle of the nave which the church architect estimates to be in the region of £25K. a quantity of lime mortar has fallen out of the church walls after only seven years and the PCC are hoping that the DAC will consider approving a more hardwearing substitute such as concrete as a replacement.
The Priestman Hall which is attached to St Andrew’s following an eighteen month period of closure because of the Covid lockdown began to operate normally again in September, 2021 with regular weekday and weekend use by a variety of clubs, groups and organisations as well as occasional and one-off events such as birthday parties. This is beginning to pick up again although Muddlers is yet to re-start. There is a group of willing helpers and many families wanting to come but we are as yet unable to take on the leadership of Muddlers and the previous leader stepped down before lockdown.
Two MBA students from the University of Sunderland began a placement in September 2021 to work on a project to develop the potential of the Priestman Hall to further develop potential to engage with the local community both to ensure long term financial viability as well as to bring Blessing to the Community in Jesus’ name.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
St. Peter's Church
Following the ending of lockdown restrictions St. Peter’s Church Bede’s Bakehouse café, in St Peter’s Chapter House, re-opened on Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunchtimes. It has continued to be an extremely popular venue, attracting regular local customers, including students from the University as well as visitors from further afield. St Peter’s Church and Bede’s Bakehouse regularly receives full “five points” reviews in Trip Advisor.
During 2019 plans were proposed for a new entrance into Bede’s Bakehouse on the east side of the connecting corridor as a replacement to the window opposite the kitchen door. The work on this is due to be completed in early 2022.
In October 2018 the church architect had identified efflorescence (salt deposits as a result of water ingress) on several pillars and inner and outer walls. He suggested this was highly likely to be a result of inadequate water drainage provision adjacent to the church walls when Sunderland City Council had undertaken works landscaping the churchyard in 2015. Efflorescence was not mentioned as an issue in the previous quinquennial inspection of 2012 suggesting the damage had occurred more recently. The sudden appearance and accelerating nature of the damage strongly suggested a connection with the work of the Council contractors and especially the (admitted) lack of provision of an adequate drainage system.
A series of meetings took place throughout 2018 and 2019 which involved, on various occasions, the Team Rector and parish representatives, Durham Diocesan Advisory Committee, Sunderland City Council and Historic England. Following a visit by loss adjusters the parish was informed by the Ecclesiastical Insurance Group that no insurance claim could be made. In March 2019, a meeting was held at which the DAC proposed the idea of an independent report to examine the cause of the damage which might run to many tens, even hundreds of thousands of pounds. There was a concern on the part of the parish as to how this might be financed as such a report might cost £10,0000 or more
A meeting was held in January 2020 between all those listed above and Cllr John Kelly, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Culture. Cllr Kelly undertook to do whatever he could including provision of some immediate finance to ensure full City Council support in investigation of the damage and the undertaking of repair work. None of this was immediately possible after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown announcements in March 2020 and the matter was followed up in September with communication by the Team Rector to Cllr Linda Williams who was successor to Cllr Kelly as Portfolio Holder. Cllr Williams has not responded to the Team Rector’s several invitations to visit the site although a number of visits were made by Council Officers.
Repeated invitations to representatives of Historic England were also declined and we told it was “policy” not to make site visits during lockdown. A representative from Historic England finally joined a site meeting (comprising ourselves, DAC, Council Officers, Church architect) on 3rd September 2021 during which the Team Rector drew attention to bases of the 12th century north doorway which had crumbled significantly over the previous few months. The efflorescence on pillars, wall and 14th Century Hilton monument had continued to broaden and move upwards. As was agreed in March 2019 the meeting concluded again that a comprehensive subterranean survey would be the most effective way forward. There was no agreement or idea where the money would come from to pay for this.
In November when nothing further was heard from the Sunderland City Council or from Historic England the Team Rector and Archdeacon of Sunderland arranged a meeting with Julie Elliott MP and this was set for 28th January, 2022.
The Incumbent who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Reverend R Bradshaw

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Update April 2022. There still has been no progress. The Council has made no direct communication with the Parish although the Executive Director of Corporate Services told St Peter’s Ward Councillor Josh McKeith (whom the Team Rector has kept informed of developments) via email that Sunderland City Council would not assist in the costs of a survey or in any other way as this would be tantamount to an admission of liability and furthermore indicated that in the opinion of the City Council there was no evidence that the Council was at fault and that the damage was caused by the “topography” of the site.. A Conservative candidate for the St Peter’s Ward elections in May has taken a political stance on the issue undertaking “to secure the funding needed to stop St Peter’s Church from crumbling following the Labour Council’s botched repair scheme”.
All Saints’ Church
There were no building works of significance required to be carried out at All Saints’ during the year 2021.
Lent Course 2021
The 2021 Lent Course “Becoming one in Christ – a journey through the lens of racial justice”, put together by Durham Diocese as part of a response to the issues raised by BAME, was held via Zoom with a good representation across the parish taking part.

Parish Administration and Communication
In 2021 the Parish Office continued to serve effectively the whole Parish, including the work for PCC and DCC meetings, liturgical and educational productions, oversight of the arrangement of occasional offices (including from May the revised national approach to the recording of weddings), the distribution of mailings and communication with the three churches and other agencies . The production of the Parish Magazine, suspended in 2020 during the lockdown resumed in 2021. The wardens continue to be an important part of our communication network, as well as volunteers who from time to time assist the Parish Administrator in her tasks. The parish website and Facebook page and Twitter feed continues to be overseen by Jacky Wake.
The Wednesday Surgery Team for the booking of weddings resumed in 2021. The Parish Office is open between 6.15pm and 7.15pm for this purpose. Discussion of arrangements for baptisms continue to be made by prior arrangement by telephone. The large numbers which continue to request baptisms had for many years made a “drop in” arrangement to Surgery on a Wednesday night a time-consuming experience for all concerned with enquirers sometimes having to wait over an hour in a queue to be seen. Hence the continuation of the telephone booking arrangement now in place.
Mission and Hospitality
Hospitality and welcome are an essential part of our mission through our three churches, and is expressed according to local context.
-
The forming of Bede’s Bakehouse continues to prove itself an excellent initiative which is sustainable, financially viable and contributes financially to St Peter’s Church income. Significantly Bede’s Bakehouse provides a strong link between the local community including the University as well as providing welcome and physical refreshment for visitors to St Peter’s from further afield.
-
At All Saints’ Mothers Union and Ladies Fellowship began to meet again in the autumn following a lengthy suspension of meetings during lockdown.
-
St. Andrew’s, as a community church with the adjacent Priestman Hall, is a place of coming and going, with regular user groups and organisations as well as bookings for parties and occasional social activities taking place. This is now up and running again after lockdown and ways are being considered as to how to broaden its appeal.
Mission and Pastoral Care
Other ongoing aspects of mission in 2021 included:
-
The re-staring of a quarterly Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving, organised by Carol Pattinson.
-
Carol Pattinson’s continuing role as an Authorised Pastoral Assistant and Allison Young’s new role as Lay Pastoral Assistant alongside other members of the ministry team which ensure parish pastoral ministry is as affective as it can be.
-
The ministry that takes place as part of the pastoral offices of the church through weddings, funerals and baptisms, including monthly baptism preparation and home visits, and through initial contacts with the Parish administrator and the Wednesday parish surgery team.
-
Links with local schools, including Dame Dorothy School, Redby School, Seaburn Dene Primary (these last two in normal times having regular visits from the Parish Open the Book team), Fulwell Infants and Junior Schools and with uniformed organisations.
-
Pastoral work with bereaved, sick and housebound people, and involvement in residential homes by ordained and lay church members including a fortnightly “Zoom” service with the residents of the Glenholme Residential Care Home.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 25% Straihgt Line Fixtures and fittings 25% Straight Line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the 's balance sheet when the becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the ’s accounting policies, the Incumbent are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
