In the DIOCESE OF YORK and the DEANERY OF HULL
THE CHURCHES of St COLUMBA, St JOHN & VICTORIA DOCK
ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for
2023
Our vision is “To Proclaim the Christian Message of Hope to the People of Drypool Parish”
INTRODUCTION
The Parish of Drypool , situated in the older eastern area of the City of Kingston upon Hull, is the largest parish by population in the Hull Deanery. A Team Ministry was established in 1980.
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Parish is a charity directly registered with the Charity Commission (no. 1130341). There are three District Church Councils.
This report is published by the PCC in accordance with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules that ‘require an annual report on the proceedings of the Parochial Church Council and the activities of the parish generally’ to be received by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.
As such, it is a legal document and much of its structure is prescribed. The PCC hopes it will be an interesting read and helpful as the Parish carries on its mission to the communities of East Hull. Reports on the activities of the three DCC’s, and other groups for which the PCC or DCC’s take direct responsibility, are detailed and cover a huge range of activities.
Further information about the various church activities can be obtained via the web site http://www.drypoolparish.org.uk
or the Parish Office at 139 Laburnum Avenue, Hull, HU8 8PA (01482 786553).
All three Churches have Facebook pages and our Privacy Notice is displayed on the web site.

The PCC would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly during this year to make our Churches a lively and vibrant community. Special thanks to all our Ministers (Ordained & Lay); to those who lead worship, to our Churchwardens, to all Council and committee members and to all our many other volunteers in so many areas. Thank you all so much!

The Church Councils
Parochial Church Council (PCC)
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The PCC is the legal employer of any lay workers in the Parish (currently Lois Thomas & Jodie Whetton).
As usual the PCC met each quarter (plus a short meeting to elect the officers).
During the year the PCC dealt with:
-
Living Christ’s Story – updates were given about the Diocesan strategy and work within Hull Deanery.
-
We monitored and discussed national developments in the “Living in Love & Faith”.
-
We planned another Parish Away Day which was held in September in Bridlington
-
We kept the significant number of policies under review.
-
We agreed to keep paying our employees at the Real Living Wage Rate.
Standing items at each meeting:
-
Reports from the three churches including clergy comments
-
Finance, including receiving reports on payment of the 2022 Freewill Offers being made by the individual churches
-
Approval of Faculty Applications as the ‘parent’ body
-
Safeguarding
-
Deanery Synod Reports
District Church Councils (DCC)
Officially established DCC’s exist at all three churches and these dealt with many significant issues at a ‘local’ level.
The method of appointment of PCC & DCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The PCC & DCC’s comprise the Incumbent, the Team Vicar, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery/Diocesan/General Synod (who serve on one DCC), other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those on the Electoral Roll or who are co-opted. Members of the
congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC and/or DCC’s.

Overall Perspective of the Parish
Thank you for taking the time to read our annual report! There is more detail on each individual church in their reports – here are some highlights from the team as a whole:
-
We’ve loved having Jonny Guy and his wife Suzi with us as Jonny serves his curacy here. Jonny was priested at Hull Minster in June, with people from all 3 of our churches there in good numbers to support him.
-
We had another great parish day away in Bridlington in September, with teaching from Jenni Foreman, music led by David and Kat Cooper, and children cared for by Lois and Keith Thomas. Over 100 people came!
-
We joined with other evangelical churches from across Hull in the City Carols event held at City Hall, with J.John preaching – an encouraging example of gospel partnership that will hopefully develop in future years.
As a team, we’ve been praying for Martyn and Cathy Westby and their family since Martyn’s operation in September and through his treatment. Thank you so much to everyone who has stepped up at St John’s and Victoria Dock to keep our worship and mission going. The Lord has been faithful in giving us strength and keeping us going – we enter 2024 looking to his grace and placing ourselves in his strong and gentle hands.

St Columba’s Report
Our vision: we are praying that we will grow in faith, in unity and in number.
After focusing on growing in faith and unity over the past few years, in 2023 we were focusing on the third part of this vision: we identified that in order to grow in number we need to be praying together, we need to be equipped to share our faith, and we need to develop new leaders.
To make praying together easier we have varied the times of our prayer gatherings, including a longer time of prayer on a Saturday morning at Pentecost and Advent. This is still something we are weak at as a church though – if we want to see God at work through us we must learn to humble ourselves in prayer: in 2024 our Lent course and a refreshed prayer area in the side chapel will hopefully help us grow in this.
To equip people in sharing their faith we ran a Lent Course called Share, and our monthly Deeper evenings were based on tricky questions about faith to give us confidence to have conversations about Jesus. We ran our usual Season of Invitation in the autumn and it was great to see how many people had invited friends and family to the services.
Raising up more leaders is still a Lynne Scott and Carole Harvey Saunderson and Dale Curristin We also started a group for out for new faces up front in

fruit from our outreach this year: adult Sunday, and 7 candidates confirmed by service in June.
As part of our wider mission, we are supporting Tim and Miranda, CMS missionaries who support gospel workers across north Africa. We were able to meet Tim when he joined us one Sunday in June to preach and come to our church barbecue.
Other highlights across the year included a new regular women’s breakfast, ever-more-popular quiz nights, and a brilliant concert by Sax It Up, a local band.
St Columba’s truly is a body where every member is needed to make it work. We thank God for everyone who helps out with the services, midweek groups, pastoring each other, cooking, cleaning, finances, the buildings, the gardens, the youth and children’s work and everything else. Please keep praying with us that in 2024 the Lord will grow us in faith, unity and number.

The Churchwardens report on the Fabric and Contents for St Columba’s
Church
Professional investigations were undertaken of the north-eastern aisle flat roof, after falling plaster. Repair works to the roof and then the ceiling are likely to be required and we are awaiting the architects advice. This is likely to cost in the region of £17-25,000
Church hall
The brickwork on front elevation above the entrance was repaired by a contractor.
An additional electrical socket was installed on the north-west wall of the main hall by a contractor.
Grounds
The grounds have been kept in good order by volunteers, with a special thank you to Ron Gooding and Linda Hobbs for their sterling work.
General
The church wardens would like to thank the Friday morning cleaning group and everyone who has helped to keep the church buildings and the Garden and grounds clean and in good order.

St John’s Report
It has been a very unusual year at St John’s.
I had the final month of my sabbatical in June and on my return have been off work ill from September. The Church and team have been called to cover, but as they became aware it was a longer period facing them looked to move forward. I would like to thank, Mel, Lesley, Cathy, Jodie, and all others who have stepped up; and Dave, Jonny, Nick, and Margaret for covering services, DCCs and much more.
Actually the Church has thrived. Wow has evolved but thanks to Cathy, Jodie, Jonny and Mel; a Great team of volunteers has started to flourish again.
Sundays continue to be a real blessing.
Midweek we changed things now only on Friday and is need and also in fellowship. We started Together Tuesday to run small groups, helped by discipleship, slow cooker are 6 week courses and they
from the summer the Pantry is packed out, meeting a gap in food
which was our chance as a Church Warm Space, including, prayer, course, exercise and more. These have been great.
Jodie continues to run Stay and Play on a Thursday and that really connects with lots of people. Our craft/friendship group continues to meet on Thursday afternoon.
The result of all that hard work, and all the hidden work that makes it happen, has been many people contacted, cared for and wonderfully 6 people giving their lives to Jesus at the J John Carol Service at Christmas.
We have also found a new, growing heart for prayer. Again a big thanks to all mentioned above and to our God for being so gracious.

The Churchwardens report on the Fabric and Contents for St John’s
We both took the challenge of being Church Warden for the first time this year. It was a 'baptism of fire' during our first few months; the garage was broken into and all the electrical garden tools were taken. The garage was quickly restored and secured with a new lock. The second burglary was the church building and the side door was badly damaged, but the alarms were activated and nothing was taken. All the tools have been replaced and we were grateful to the Archdeacon for financial support to repair the church door.
On-going upkeep of the building has included: alarms being serviced, electrical appliances being PAT tested, boiler being repaired and heaters serviced, music system and microphones have been replaced.
The Church grounds have been well kept by Calvin, Natty and Richard. The allotment plot is being prepared by Angie.
We would like to thank everyone that worked hard to make St John's such a welcoming and well maintained place.

In my absence all the above has been unaltered. Big thanks particularly to Mel, Margaret, Dave, Jonny, Dave and Kat and Sara, Marlene and Nick Whetton, and to all the church for being so wonderful, prayerful and supportive.

The Curate’s Report
Time is flying by. I can’t quite believe it but by the time this report goes out Suzi, the kids and I will have been here for nearly two years. I was quite nervous when I came (some people spotted it, some may not have), but the longer I’ve been here the more I have grown in confidence, and for that I thank God and the many people who have encouraged me along the way.
One of the highlights of my year was my ordination as presbyter/priest at Hull Minster in June. I was grateful to see supporters from across the whole parish there and am very thankful to God for all that he has done to get me to this point.
I’ve learnt a lot from Dave already and am thankful for all the time he has put into mentoring me. I’ve also enjoyed ministering alongside and learning from Martyn and have missed doing so in the past few months. I enjoy the time I spend with Lois and Jodie and seeing the various ministries they’re involved with across the parish grow and flourish. Starting Blocks and WOW are never quiet and dull but are doing a lot of good and I love being a part of them.
I’ve enjoyed spending time with the Youth Group, particularly going away to Foremarke 3 with five of them in August. On a personal note it was unfortunate that Suzi and the kids had to leave early due to illness (!), but the rest of us had a good time there and I’m looking forward to going back this summer.
This year, I want to keep learning new things and being stretched. I’m going to be chairing a DCC which will certainly be a valuable experience, and I’m sure plenty of things I can’t predict will come up to keep me busy and teach me new things about following Jesus and being a minister in his church.

Children's and Youth Work
Jesus said to them, “Let the little children come to me.” (Mark 10:14)
We have many opportunities across the parish to share Jesus’ love for children and young people, including:
-
Jodie Whetton, the families worker at St John’s, leads a play group on Thursday morning for local families. Some of the parents from this have joined in with Unlock Bible studies on Tuesday mornings.
-
Lois Thomas, the families worker at St Columba’s, leads Starting Blocks for pre-school children and their carers on Tuesday mornings.
-
Dave, Martyn and Jonny continued to lead assemblies in each of the 7 primary schools in our parish.
-
Worship on Wednesday (WOW) at St John’s has continued to draw in local families for activities, teaching and a meal together.
-
Thursday Night Thing (TNT) at St Columba’s is a weekly community of families helping each other to follow Jesus through serving together, listening, and praying to God together and eating together.
-
Helen Griffith-Jones and her team lead two Sunday school groups for children and young people at St Columba’s
-
Lois and Jonny lead a youth group on Thursday evenings for young people in years 6 and above.
-
15 young people attended CPAS summer camps at Ripon and Foremarke (where Jonny was a leader).
Thank you to everyone who helps with these ministries, and to Margaret Liversedge, Mel Whetton and Marlene Harrison who help us to do the vital work of safeguarding that goes with them.

_________________ How are we doing overall?
Worship and Prayer
The Churches are keen to offer a range of services each month which vary according to the needs of our various communities.
Normally each church has regular services that varies between traditional liturgy and more non-liturgical forms such as Cafe Church.

THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DRYPOOL
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
How are our finances?
The Receipts and Payments accounts are prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations and independently examined by an accountant.
The total parish receipts, including restricted funds, were approximately £134K (down by £21K) and the total spend was £136K (up by £13K) giving a deficit of £2K but with overall unrestricted funds decreasing by nearly £10K in the year and restricted funds increasing by nearly £8K. Much of the deficit is attributed to St Columba’s with St John’s and Victoria Dock showing small surpluses.
Particular comments were:
St Columba
-
The 2022 accounts contained a large one-off donation towards future fabric and ministry costs (£20K) *
-
and the receipt of almost 2 years Gift Aid refunds as a result of joining the Parish Giving Scheme (c£6K). Naturally these were not repeated leading to a reduction in stated income.
-
Whilst expenses only grew by £5k these contained an 80% increase in utility costs which were offset to some degree by a £2,000 grant from the Diocese.
-
The Church obtained a contactless payment device via a National Church Programme
St John
-
By an arrangement with the separate Project company the DCC pay 25% of the utility bills but these doubled.
-
The second year Mustard Seed grant was received *
Victoria Dock
- The DCC continues to ‘enjoy’ the advantages of a rented building and hence the accounts were not subject to the issues (above) but Hall letting fees showed a small increase.
{* Restricted Income}
On a positive note the Freewill Offer to the Diocese increased to £56,500 and was paid in full.
As part of the Diocesan programme “Living Christ’s Story” and the attempt to have sustainable finances, the PCC has an aspiration to pay the whole attributed cost of Dave and Martyn by 2026 which at current prices is c£58K.
[This is calculated as whole costs of stipends, NI, pension and housing at c£102K but the Parish ‘benefits’ from a special grant of £44K from national church funds as Drypool is classed as a ‘low income community’]
Our Reserves Policy
The PCC maintains a small amount of reserves, as DCCs are responsible for most of the receipts and payments made in the parish on a day-to-day basis. Given that Victoria Dock DCC rent accommodation most of the current risk relating to possible unexpected maintenance falls to St. Columba’s and St John’s DCCs. Whilst their unrestricted funds vary considerably during the year, restricted or designated reserves are maintained relating to possible fabric maintenance by both Churches. It is policy to invest generally in the Central Board of Finance’s funds, although in some cases smaller funds have been invested elsewhere. Overall within the whole parish and each Church the total unrestricted fund balances should cover up to 4- 6 months of intended unrestricted expenditure which currently is the case.

Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and adults at risk. No Serious Incident occurred during the year that should have been reported to the Charity Commissioners. Consideration is given and arranged as necessary for appropriate training with the required DBS checks and confidential declarations completed.

Each Church has an appointed Safeguarding Representative (contact details on Parish Website):

St Columba Margaret Liversedge
-
St John Melanie Whetton

The Church in the City - Report on the Deanery Synod
The Synod consists of members of all the licensed clergy/lay workers and elected lay representatives of the churches in Hull & District. During the year it had 3 in-person meetings at St Andrews - Sutton Park, St Columba’s and St Nicholas.
Our agendas were designed to carry forward aspects of the Deanery Plan agreed earlier. We have had presentations and discussions on:
-
Partnerships (between Clergy and other Churches_
-
Sam Nicol, Diocesan Director for Strategic Transformation helped us reflect on the wider aspects of “Living Christ’s Story”
-
Encouraging junior choristers at Hull Minster
-
Reaching Net Zero
We held two Deanery Gatherings on Ascension Day with the Bishop and Christ the King Sunday with Chris van Straaten, Associate Area Dean for East Hull, preaching just before his retirement.
A series of workshops also took place on:
-
Midweek All-Age Congregations
-
Lay Ministries and various changes being made at Diocesan level to these licensed, authorised and informal ministries
-
Outreach among older people
The Bishop has been very active in building on the Deanery response to “Living Christ’s Story” and arranged an open consultation meeting at Swanland in December under the banner of “Heart for Hull”. Various strands of work are ongoing and it is hoped to bring in some outside capacity, paid for by the Church Commissioners, to help Hull develop and nurture more disciples.
