## **Annual Report of the PCC for St Andrew’s Cheadle Hulme and Emmanuel Cheadle Hulme for the year 2021** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish of St Andrew, Cheadle Hulme presents its reports and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Parish is a part of the Church of England, in the Diocese of Chester, located in the Deanery of Cheadle. 

The financial statements that are part of this report comply with the current statutory requirements, Church Accounting Regulations and the FRS102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2016 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales, effective January 2016. Note is also made of the recommendations of "The Charities Act 2011 and the PCC" 4[th] edition published by Church House in 2013. 

## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT CONSTITUTION** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC was registered as a charity in England & Wales in June 2009 under the name "The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrew, Cheadle Hulme", Charity Number 1130324. The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. 

The primary object of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. In particular and under the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 the PCC is to co-operate with the incumbent, the Reverend Christopher Hobbs, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

There are a number of committees. 

## Standing Committee 

This is the only sub-committee required by the Church Representation Rules. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any direction given by the PCC. It did not meet in 2021. 

In 2021 four Committees reported to the PCC: 

Emmanuel Church Committee, St Andrew’s Church Committee, the Social and Outreach Committee and the Finance and Employment Committee. The Sites, Buildings and Technology Committee and the Youth Committee did not meet in 2021. 

## Emmanuel Church Committee 

This committee oversees the work at Emmanuel Church. 

St Andrew’s Church Committee 

This committee oversees the work at St Andrew’s Church. 

## Finance and Employment Committee 

This committee monitors special expenditure and considers matters to do with staff employment. 

## Social and Outreach Committee 

This committee organises community activities in the life of the parish. 

Page 3 of 19 



Sites, Buildings and Technology Committee 

This committee oversees the general maintenance of the St Andrew’s church property, including all meeting rooms and the house at 68 Henley Avenue. 

The council has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. Lisa Irvine at Emmanuel and Helen Price at St Andrew’s were appointed Parish Church Safeguarding Officers. 

The PCC met eight times in 2021, the St Andrew’s Church Committee met a further seven times and the Emmanuel Committee met a further nine times. One of the meetings was a brief meeting after the Annual Church Meeting to appoint officers of the PCC. 

2021 was overshadowed by the continuing Corona Virus pandemic. The churches were able to meet in person on Sundays from the end of February, but we kept evening services, church council meetings and prayer meetings on Zoom. 

## **Our church meetings are to give opportunities to the people of our area to worship God and hear God’s word, to pray and to have fellowship in Christ together.** 

For the first part of the year we live-casted the services from the church buildings. After we resumed meeting publicly, we continued to offer Zoom and You Tube live services at St Andrew’s, and You Tube live services at Emmanuel, with the recorded services available afterwards on You Tube. You Tube shows that typically 15-23 look at services afterwards at St Andrew’s and 10-15 at Emmanuel. For our in person meetings the numbers are still much lower than pre-pandemic. Average attendance numbers are roughly 60 at St Andrew’s and 30 at Emmanuel. 

We held our 2021 Annual Meeting in a hybrid way, with some people present in St Andrew’s and some present on Zoom. 

There was a period when Covid seemed to be diminishing. We had Sorrow services at both churches, to remember together the losses we had been through. There was also a Churches Together in Cheadle Hulme Sorry Service in Oak Meadow. 

We celebrated Holy Communion at Easter, Whitsunday and then monthly from September. We continued to wear masks in the churches, observe social distance and open windows when practical. We resumed offering after service refreshments at the churches in the summer, weekly at St Andrew’s and for special occasions at Emmanuel. 

The church preaching staff remained the same through the year: Christopher Hobbs (vicar), Peter Selby (curate), Peter Budd, Geoff Cooke (Readers) Mike Yates (Emeritus Reader) and with welcome help from Canon Nick Feist (retired). Our Licensed Pastoral Worker Jane Holland led some services at Emmanuel, ran a weekly prayer meeting for Emmanuel and took over co-ordinating activities for children at Emmanuel. We thanked Lisa Irvine for being Children’s Co-ordinator at Emmanuel for 36 years. 

Our preaching series at the two churches were on Colossians, Nehemiah, Luke 11-15 and 1 Thessalonians. For the passion and Easter we dwelt on the end of Mark and the end of John’s gospels, and then considered John 6 and 7 for the Easter period and Whitsunday. 

At Emmanuel we celebrated 60 years since the Sunday School was planted that became Emmanuel Church. We held a special Thanksgiving Service with former Minister Phil Burrows preaching.

Sunday Evening services continued as a zoom meeting for Evening prayer. 

We had two evening Café Churches, one with the new Bishop of Chester Mark Tanner, and one with the new Bishop of Stockport Samuel Corley. 

House groups looked at Jesus through Old Testament eyes; some of David’s psalms and their relevance for daily life; Tenants of the King, which was about caring for the environment; and began looking at church life from 1 Corinthians 1-7. 

At St Andrew’s a daily prayer meeting continued for some months, and then became twice weekly. At Emmanuel there was a weekly prayer meeting. 

## **Paid and Volunteer staff helped us carry out our mission.** 

Gill Pennells was on furlough for some of the year, and then resumed on four mornings a week. As well as administering the hall bookings and church life at St Andrew’s, Gill prepared and distributed the services for both churches, and sent out regular emails and letters to the congregations. 

A Time For God volunteer was able to come from January to July. Gabor Csanady from Hungary delivered a lot of two editions of our Round the Houses leaflets, operated zoom church, helped at Little Rews, and did some grounds work in the church grounds at St Andrew’s, including building a simple bbq area behind the brick hut. 

At the end of the summer we advertised for a Part Time Associate Minister, especially with Emmanuel in mind; and a part time (20 hours) Children and Families worker, based at St Andrew’s. Following short listing we decided not to appoint an Associate Minister for the time being, but employed Fiona Beck as Children and Families worker from the beginning of October. 

A staffing sub-group of the PCC was active in drawing up the profile and job description for these posts, and then helped in interviewing. 

Fiona’s first major project was “Bright Light Fun” on the evening of 31 October. Fiona was able to bring in a good number of St Andrew’s people to help, and despite the bad weather, good links were made. Fiona then set about planning and restarting Friday night groups for young people, and making links with parents and schools. Fiona also helps on the teams who run the toddler groups at St Andrew’s and at Emmanuel, and prepares teaching and activities for children on Sundays at St Andrew’s, though we currently have very few coming. 

## **The Churches and the Community** 

We were happy to welcome many people into our church grounds for a variety of regular and special events, and hope to build on them in the future. At both churches we helped the community with a parents and toddler group. Little Rews ran throughout the year, initially with many covid protocols and a booking in system. Little Fishes resumed in the autumn and both groups were very popular and served our local community. 

Shalom is the St Andrew’s group on Saturday afternoons for people who would like some company. It was able to resume in the autumn, when Covid was less prevalent. 

We held a Parish Holiday Club for primary school aged children at the end of August with Mark Tomlinson from Primary Focus as our guest leader. Twenty children came on at least one day. 

We held an Alpha Course at Emmanuel. We seek to help people in the community understand the Christian faith.

Particular highlights for community engagement happened at Emmanuel on Saturday 4 September and Saturday 11 September at St Andrew’s. We gave each event a float of £500 from some money the diocese of Chester had given us last year. 

At Emmanuel large numbers came to the different stalls, and demonstrations by the local cheerleaders, puppet team, and singing by the music group. A magician went around doing tricks, and a balloon artists made probably a hundred balloon sculptures. 

At St Andrew’s the local Fire-station gave tours of the fire engine, there were rides on Trevor Kimm’s small train, numerous stalls, face painting, craft activities and refreshments. Large numbers of people came, helped by the good weather on both Saturdays. Later that night at St Andrew’s there was a quiz, which was also well attended. 

The model railway day on 13 November also brought people into the church building, from near and further afield. 

A Christmas Craft afternoon for families was held on 27 November at Emmanuel, 23 children and their families attended. 

Joan Shaw organised a Wreath Making event on Friday 3 December, which was a good opportunity for people to invite friends, and also to meet Fiona Beck who gave a short address at it. 

Josh Baxter masterminded a Christmas Light Trail in St Andrew’s on Saturday 4 December. This involved many members of the church sharing their own lights or Christmas trees or similar Christmas objects. Children and families came and spent time over refreshments and games. 

## **Life Events** 

We were happy to have a wedding and also a baptism at Emmanuel during 2021. 

Amongst the deaths of congregation members in 2021 were Linda Bowerman, Beulah Bowler, Stan Lawson, Millie Stott, John Taylor and Alan Isherwood at St Andrew’s and Irene Darton and Pat Lee at Emmanuel. 

## **World wide Care** 

We consider the spread of the gospel world wide as part of our mission, not just the work in our own parish. At both churches we had a presentation about Festival Manchester to be held in July 2022 and the PCC gave £1000 towards its costs. 

At St Andrew’s £2800 was raised for our missionaries by a special March in March for mission, organised by Ruth Drury. People gave money, or asked people to sponsor them, and tallies were kept of how many steps. This increased knowledge of those nine different missionaries or missions. 

In addition we held special Harvest collections for Barnabus and Chelwood Food Bank at St Andrew’s and Well spring in Stockport at Emmanuel. This Christmas St Andrew’s again distributed hampers to people in the community, twenty in total. On Christmas Day we raised money for disabled children in Uganda at Emmanuel and for Tear Fund at St Andrew’s. 

At Emmanuel new CMS missionaries were adopted (replacing Andy and Rose Roberts who had returned to the UK), John and Kati Walsh. It was good to meet John in person one Sunday morning in October. They will soon be going out to Brazil.

We were sad when one of our St Andrew’s mission partners who had been part of St Andrew’s for many years, Marie South, moved down south to be near to her parents, though we continue to support her in prayer and financially. 

## **Use of our buildings** 

Special donations at Emmanuel paid for a complete redecoration of the inside of the church building, and some new book cases. Frank and Felicity Tucker organised a number of work parties on the grounds, and Roger Hand kept up regular maintenance. Despite the pandemic a number of different community groups hired rooms in the church centre. We are grateful to the volunteers who put the rubbish bins out and back. During the summer we had a rough sleeper for a little while. 

At St Andrew’s we started to think about how we might reduce our “carbon footprint” and replaced with LEDs the fluorescent lights in the church main hall, toilets, kitchen and coffee lounge. Stockport Symphony Orchestra needed a new place to rehearse on a temporary basis, and we allowed them to use the church building. The University of the Third Age resumed in November, and a baby group and a Pilates group started using the hall. 

The South Manchester Keswick (also known as Deeper) used St Andrew’s in the spring and the autumn, with Jonathan Dawson from Ford’s Lane Church speaking in the spring and Nigel Atkinson from St John’s Knutsford in the autumn. 

In St Andrew’s, at Christmas we were happy to welcome Cheadle Hulme Primary School for a Key Stage Two concert, and Bradshaw Hall School choirs for their performance (which would normally have been in Stockport). Oak Tree Primary School were not able to come this year. We make no charge for these sort of community events from the parish. 

## **Finances** 

This year we were very thankful for some one-off donations, two in memory of family members who had died, Olga Hayward and John Taylor, and one for the LED lighting improvements to the hall.  These more than compensated for reduced giving through collections, and along with a slightly increased income from lettings helped our income to increase overall.  Meanwhile our expenditure was significantly lower than in 2020, due partly to the inclusion in 2020 of costs for the new sound system at St Andrew’s and partly to the fact that we had only one salaried minister, and have paid off our unpaid Parish Share. As a result income exceeded expenditure in both churches, especially in Emmanuel. 

Looking forward we are very aware that this positive financial result is based on the lack of a second salaried minister, and on the income we are therefore able to generate by letting out the associated house.  We are also aware of the wider pressures on individuals’ finances at this time, but are nevertheless keen to boost regular income so that developments in the ministry of the parish are not constrained by financial concerns.

The church employed a Children's & Families Worker from October 2021.

The freehold land & buildings are two residential properties originally acquired for use by the clergy. 

68 Henley Avenue is accounted for at purchase value; the purchase was completed on 27th February 2015. 

Prior to 2020, 198 Bruntwood Lane (Emmanuel House) was shown only as a note in the accounts.  In 2020 it was brought into the accounts at an estimated value based on the insured cost. 

The PCC has many other assets, in particular moveable church furnishings which are recorded in the Inventory. Replacement insurance values as of 2018 are £188,000, which is 100% of the value.

During 2021, £2,463 was given for LED lights in the hall, and used for this purpose (2020 £0).

## **11 MISSIONARY COLLECTIONS** 

As well as donations from the General Fund and Special Collections the PCC also acts as a collection agency for members of the congregation who wish to direct their missionary giving through the church.   Details are given below.

## **ST. ANDREW'S AND EMMANUEL CHURCHES, CHEADLE HULME Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31 December 2021** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the members /trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Andrews Cheadle Hulme** 

I report to the members of the Parochial Church Council (the PCC) who are trustees of St Andrews Church, Cheadle Hulme, on my examination of the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the charity trustees of the Church you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Church's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Church as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
