Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts for 2021-2022

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ALL SAINTS' HALIFAX

Charity registration number: 1130479

Aims and Purposes

All Saints’ Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of working with the priest-in-charge, the Reverend Jennifer Middleton, in promoting the whole mission of this Church of England in the Parish of Skircoat Green, Salterhebble and Copley. This Christian mission is pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical in serving the Parish community.

There is a linked community Parish Hall run by trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of the parish community.

We are committed to developing strong ties with All Saints’ C. of E. Primary School and also fostering good relations with the primary schools in Copley and Salterhebble.

We try to enable people in our local community to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: worship and prayer, learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. By providing pastoral support and care and in missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of All Saints’ and the Parish Hall.

Achievements and Performance

This year started with a period of vacancy and with Covid restrictions still in place and ever-changing.

When the church was unable to open we had worship online via Youtube and the reading, prayers and sermon printed in the weekly notice sheet which was delivered, emailed or posted to about 100 people who requested it.

Once open, we had a bookable service at 10.30am every Sunday, which had from 30-50 people in attendance dependent on restrictions at the time. There was a family service once a month. This resulted in a fortnightly rota until we were able to open fully to all. Once we were fully open then we were able to hold two services: 9am Holy Communion and 10.30am Morning Worship with a Family Service once a month and Holy Communion once a month. The crèche facility was re-started.

The Kids’ Church continued to meet via Zoom for a lot of the year and recommencing face-to-face meetings in September.

At the end of October our new priest-in-charge was licensed and this enabled us to re-start services/assemblies for the local school.

As well as our regular services, we held a service for The South Halifax Churches Together 25[th] Anniversary and a harvest afternoon service.

There were two baptisms held in the church this year, no weddings and two funerals and three burial services in the graveyard.

Two Alpha courses were run this year, held mainly on Zoom. There were positive responses to these and there are plans to run two more courses next year.

Reports from Groups for the AGM

The Alpha Course…

Exactly at this moment as I’ve sat down to send this, an email’s arrived from Alpha HTB congratulating us, and thanking us for running it....we should be thanking them for providing such excellent material, training, backup, support and encouragement. I’ve actually had more encouragement and support from Alpha than any other church organisation. No wonder they’re helping to grow the church, and yes actually changing the world.

We've run a few Alphas now, (they reckon nine get you up to speed) these have been online sessions mostly but if we had been meeting in person the majority of these wonderful folk couldn't have come. So online has been very positive really.

We're backed up with a closely linked prayer team under Alethea’s care. So, thanks Alethea and crew!

The course is for the Alpha-ites so to craft a report I asked them.... they said...

I had considered Alpha a few times, but I was reluctant because I feared I wasn't 'devout' enough or knew enough about 'God' or 'Christianity'. I was wrong, Alpha is a safe place to consider issues or faith and morality without judgement or pressure. I learnt that 'God gets it' and that is all that matters'

It has been very freeing to be able to ask questions about the Chris tian faith in such a warm and supportive environment, free from any worries about causing offence or being judged. I feel like I’ve made new friends and I’ve learnt so much each week. I always had some level of belief in the existence of Jesus but Alpha has helped me to find a deeper knowing. I want to learn more and continue this journey and I can’t recommend Alpha highly enough. I thank our facilitators for their kindness and for creating such a safe space for us to come together and explore in! It’s been wonderful.

It has been a lovely way to spend a Wednesday evening, with good company and thought provoking conversation.

Our Alpha team go the extra mile and encourage us to open up and chat about our own lives. Also they are very good at answering our questions when we have doubts about some of the verses in the Bible.

Alpha course has given me the opportunity to explore Christian faith and help me wanting to know more about Jesus Christ. Also great opportunity to meet wonderful people. I am chatting to God and asking him to help .....

We’ve been also praying for requests, seeing prayers answered and growing fond of one another. We’re looking towards the future, updating our practices and through some creative thinking, we’re intending to develop....but that’s for us to be working on for now!

All Saints’ Housegroups

David & Wilma’s housegroup

Where to start? Covid, covid and more covid! For much of the year we were only able to meet thanks to the wonders of zoom – it’s nowhere nearly as good as meeting face to face, but buckets better than not meeting at all. However, by mid-autumn we were able to, cautiously at first, start meeting face to face again, and wasn’t that wonderful – oh the simple pleasures of eating tea and cake and talking face to face. That said, we continue to have a zoom element for people who find it difficult to come in person.

Our Bible studies over the last 12 months started in January with a 14 week series going through the whole of the book of Acts. In the end it took all year, but it meant we could take as much time as we needed to look at the passage each week – as we reminded ourselves regularly, our aim is to hear from God, not to get to the end of a particular passage. As always our group emphasises the application of the Bible to our daily lives, with time to share joys and sorrows, doubts and fears, worries and revelations, and news of family and friends.

During the year, we have several people join our group, some for just a few weeks until they were able to find a more suitable group or their own group was able to start meeting again. Others have stayed for longer. We are always open to people joining, so if you are looking for a housegroup, feel free to come and give us a try, to stay for one week, or for many years, or maybe somewhere in between. Our youngest member is only 5 and our oldest is over 80.

Whitaker Group

Sadly we could not meet during last year and as some of our group do not have computers we could not get together. Doreen kept us together with regular phone calls around the group and I sent out the usual birthday cards to everyone. We have only just started meeting again but we are all together.

Agape homegroup

We have 8 members (including 2 men) We meet weekly on Wednesday mornings from 10.15 – 12.15 approximately.

At the beginning of the pandemic Judith set us up on Zoom and Christine has continued as necessary, so we have been able to continue our fellowship. Once we were able, we resumed our face to face meetings either indoors or in the garden.

We had been following a Cover to Cover study entitled “God’s Rescue Plan” linking Old and New testament. Recently we have found the Life Builder series on the Psalms particularly apt and helpful as we are made increasingly aware of the distressing situations so many people are living through. We share freely amongst ourselves and pray for each others’ families as well as the needs of our church and the world.

We enjoy hearing our study passages beautifully read by David Suchet and singing along to a recording of a specially chosen song or hymn.

We’d be glad to welcome new members.

Appleyard House group

Our home group has mostly met using Zoom during 2021.

We’ve had a mixture of different types of ‘meet ups’ some social and others Bible based. We all found zoom challenging as it’s not possible to have more than one conversation occurring at the same time - the meet ups had to be more structured and fellowship wasn’t as easy. We used:

Post Alpha group

Alpha HQ at HTB advise very strongly that there must be follow on from Alpha courses.....this is part of ours.

There aren’t many of us, but Christine and I have been here several times before. It’s part of the building process, and that’s what we’re doing. To build a new group from scratch, it takes a while, and it takes quite a lot of input and patience because it’s slowly slowly.....then slow down a bit! It helps that we all love fish and chips!

We continue the Alpha ethos, we’re interested in being Family Jesus, so we’re modelling ourselves on the Acts 2 chappies......and going for light, fun, love, care and Jesus, with some learning. Conversations have been excellent and we’re all benefitting. We’re keen to be Christians together and also to develop a reliable faith that’s resilient for real life, and aware of the support of a decent church family. We get together, learn how to pray, to study Scripture as we do it, rather that just learn facts. We do live the bible and prayer stuff...in life’s parties and struggles...we don’t just use this as material, but use it in our lives, together....a way of life.

We’ve started with maybe 6 or 8 weeks looking at prayer. Soon we‘ll do a gospel, looking at how to read and follow the meaning, extract the messages from the stories..... Oh, and we’ll have a curry, get some fish and chips and enjoy life in our Lord.....maybe BBQs in summer.....let’s see!

Welcome Garden

The Welcome Garden is for the Church family, the local schools school and the community at large. It is therefore an open space available for all to use. We have five volunteer gardeners who weed, prune and keep the garden tidy from March to December on Wednesday mornings.

Last spring we took delivery of a large amount of top soil to even out the bumps in the lawn. The top soil was spread out by the Landscape Gardener who also seeded areas so that the grassy areas recovered quickly.

Last summer we had to thin out an excess quantity of large daisies sown in the borders so that other wild flowers and shrubs could thrive. We planted more winter and spring bulbs in the autumn which we are able to enjoy now. We also took advice from a tree expert who gave us tips on tree pruning and it’s good to see that the trees are beginning to blossom once again.

The Community Pay Back Team who clear the brambles from the graveyard areas help us by cutting the grass in the Welcome Garden from April to October.

You are very welcome to come and join us on Wednesday mornings or if you wish it would be very helpful if you could offer perhaps an hour a week at another time to do some Welcome Gardening or if you have any friends who live nearby who enjoy gardening and can spare some time please let Paul G. or the church office know!

Coffee Morning

Thursday coffee morning recommenced following the Covid19 pandemic in September 2021, relocating from the parish hall to the church lounge. It is run by a small, but dedicated team of volunteers.

The numbers have risen to an average of 10-12 people each week.

We enjoy tea, coffee, toast and biscuits and mark special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter.

We are hoping to plan other special events in the future months.

It is lovely to enable both church members and people from the local community to meet in a relaxed environment for a chat and a cuppa!

All Saints’ Parent and Toddler Groups

After a break of eighteen months, due to Covid restrictions, our P&T groups were able to welcome families again on 7th September 2021.

We continue to run two groups on a Tuesday, and we took the decision to close the Wednesday group in Copley village.

Since September the numbers for both groups have gradually increased as further Covid restrictions have been lifted. The morning group is now full with a waiting list and the afternoon group remains quieter but growing in numbers.

We have a great team of volunteers without whom the groups could not run. Despite age and health restrictions, they all remain very young-at-heart.

Frequent visits from Rev Jen have been welcome and keep the church very much a part of our local community.

Sunday children’s groups

Our Sunday children’s groups have gone backwards and forwards due to the impact of Covid. Getting to meet in church, then zoom, then back on site again! We’re very happy to be meeting regularly again during the main church service upstairs. We have two groups, one aimed at primary and one at secondary aged children. Thanks go to the dedicated team who help lead this ministry. If anyone would like to join the team, we’d love to talk to you.

Youth group 2021

Having run a couple of online youth groups at the start of the pandemic, in 2021 we concentrated the limited resources on keeping the Sunday Club running. I'm please to report that the youth group has been able to start up once again in 2022 with the much appreciated help of two additions to the team - Mark Pemberton and Rev Jen. The youth group is now running fortnightly during term time on a Sunday evening and is open to children of secondary school age. We currently have 9 young people of this age in church.

We'd also like to thank the many contributors who have helped with youth group since it started and particularly Wayne Stead who helped start and lead the youth group, but has now stepped down to concentrate on other things.

Open the Book

Between March 20 and April 2021 it wasn’t possible to go into All Saints’ School due to Covid restrictions.

When the school restarted in April they were not allowed to have collective worship as a whole school; the pupils had to remain in bubbles. The Open the Book team, therefore, went in for about 6 weeks to do a story with each small class individually. There was the advantage that we only needed to prepare one story. During summer term we finished the academic year with the story of Paul’s conversion: The Road to Damascus.

Collective worship returned in the autumn term, and it was decided to do two separate performances on one day - for key stage 1 and key stage 2. We continued with more stories about Jesus, looking at his parables. With the start of 2022 we have gone back to the start of the Bible and are covering stories like Creation and Noah.

The Open the Book group has had a few new members as some original members have moved on. We now number about 6-8 regulars and will always welcome newcomers to our team.

The staff and children look forward to our storytelling and we will continue doing two performances per fortnight in the coming year.

Ladies who Paint

Our group has been meeting since October 2010. At the moment it consists of up to 14 people (not all church members).

We have covered a variety of subjects, using a variety of media, including watercolour, water soluble oils, acrylics, colour pencils, inks and pastels.

We have hosted 3 exhibitions, supporting the food drop in centre and the new welcome garden. Meetings are on Saturday mornings in church every 3 weeks. Since we returned post covid we have painted cakes, glass and metal using line and wash and a number of landscapes. Our motivational

lettering is on display in the Warneford Room. More recently we have produced a watercolour dragonfly and practised enlarging an image using a grid. The next subject is a goldfish and shubunkin duo!

Quilting

The quilting group actually started before Covid 19, we met in our homes but soon realised that we were growing and needed more space. We now meet in the church lounge on the first Saturday of every month, 10 am until 3pm.

We are mainly a hand quilting group but also do other crafts occasionally .Our group consists of various ages , we have a young male adult who attends, some are members of All Saints church but mainly the group are from the community. Our aim is to build relationships, friendship, care and to show the love of Christ. All the members are very chatty and helpful to each other, this supports loneliness, mental and emotional health along with learning new tasks.

Mother’s Union

As has been the case for so many, 2021 was a difficult year when we were only able to keep in touch by phone for many months. The year started in early January, when we hoped to have our Wave of Prayer to link up with Dioceses around the world. Plans were made, 20 ladies eager to attend, but we had to cancel at the very last minute due to rising Covid numbers and, in reality, we were then unable to get together until August. By then we were being encouraged to raise funds for MU projects by meeting up outside to walk together. We chose a wonderfully sunny day in late August to meet in Manor Heath Park. Very little walking was done but we chatted a lot and shared flasks of coffee and cake, raising £170.

September was our first official meeting since November 2020, 18 members met enthusiastically, to share prayers and stories of the previous months. Similarly in October, but this meeting was blighted by Covid again and was very quiet, but a quiet meeting was better than no meeting at all. Our AGM was well supported in November, we had a festive flavour, and we discussed the year past and some encouraging plans for speakers during 2022.

On a positive note, we were able to keep the delivery of Emergency Toiletry Bags to the local hospital every couple of months - maybe not as many as usual but we did provide needy patients

with 145 bags containing facecloth, soap, toothbrush and paste and a comb. A difficult year all round but we continue to have 34 members who remain enthusiastic and supportive.

All Saints School

The relationship between school and church has increased rapidly since Rev Jen has joined All saints' church. Her participation in school has been immense from delivering the Easter story, both to classes and as a whole school worship to re-enacting the last supper inside church and much more. The cafe which church provide prior to our weekly service on a Friday has both increased relationships with school and our families and also the church.

The use of the graveyard for forest school has been extremely beneficial for those children who are more vulnerable and increased engagement linked to this has been evident. Year 4 also enjoyed their shelter building project as part of their DT project.

Weekly worships which are delivered by Rev Jen and the Open the book team have enabled to explore our values more deeply whilst linking these to biblical text and prayer.

Rev Jen is now Ex-officio on the board of governors and the representation form the church has proved beneficial in making compassionate decisions, the rebranding process and adding another dynamic person to the group. Her role as Year 6 class link governor has helped children to connect to the church and deepen their understanding of Christianity.

We look forward to building this relationship further and would like to thank Rev Jen, Diane and the kind volunteers from the cafe for everything they support school with.

Electoral Roll

At present there are 112 on the electoral roll, about half of which are not resident in the Parish.

Deanery Synod

Three members of the PCC sat on Deanery Synod this year. Many of the meetings were held via Zoom, with only one being ‘in person’. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structure of the church. Two members attended the Living in Faith and Love course run by the Deanery in November.

Deanery Synod report to AGM 2021

The Deanery Synod has had four meetings in the last twelve months. Four of these meetings have been held via Zoom, due to Covid restrictions and one was held at The Minster.

All the Deanery meetings this year have been joint meetings with Halifax and Calder Valley Deanery and Brighouse and Elland Deanery, as the Area Dean, Rev. Kathia has been looking after both deaneries. This made for some very large meetings (54 people on Zoom is fun!) but there was always chance to break into smaller groups which was useful for discussions.

In February 2021 Rev. Kathia gave an outline of the deanery synod and how the structure of parishes, deaneries and diocese worked. Then there was an election of deanery officers for each deanery.

In June the meeting was concerned with ‘emerging positively’ from lockdown. In October, we learnt about the new nationwide course ‘Living in Love and Faith’ and were encouraged to participate in the one being led by our deanery at St. Jude’s in November. The latest meeting in February 2022 was concerned with environmental concerns and the initiative by the Church of England called ‘six steps to carbon net zero’ which is an aim for 2030.

Ecumenical Relationships

There is a South Halifax Churches Together group of which we are an active member. This includes the local Methodist, United Reformed and Catholic Churches. There was a joint service for Harvest with a lunch after, and Maundy Thursday a joint service with St Andrews Methodist was held on Zoom.

Structure, Governance and Management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church representation Rules of the Church of England. The membership of the PCC consist of the incumbent, the two readers, the churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll and vote at the Annual General Meeting. All those who attend services are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC.

The full PCC met seven times during the year with a level of attendance of 85%. During the vacancy period from January to October the Standing Committee also met weekly via Zoom to discuss dayto-day running, maintenance and services.

The PCC members serving from January to May 2021 before the AGM and newly elected members were:

Reader and Chair of PCC Reader

Ian Byfield John Bouckley

Wardens Dianne Bates Margaret Greaves Deanery Synod members Diane Williams (treasurer and administrator) Rosslynn Gowers Ian Byfield Elected members Keith Appleyard Jane Appleyard Susan Blackwell Julia Clothier Roy Croft Sarah Frank Alan Gerard Paul Gunningham Richard Mullen Wayne Stead

And elected from May –December 2021

Ian Gowers (Secretary) Christine Henderson David Macgregor Yolande Shire

From October 31[st] the new incumbent Rev. Jennifer Middleton became chairperson.

Pastoral Care

During Covid times, there was an effort to maintain links with as many people as possible. Alongside the notice sheet mailings, emails and online worship there were house-groups which continued to meet using Zoom and in person when possible. Regular phone calls were made to those who could not meet, and at Easter cards were hand written and delivered as widely as possible to maintain the community cohesiveness. The church joined with the local community to organise a window trail around the local estate which families were able to walk around during Advent. One of our members has just completed a Diocesan pastoral course which will enable us to develop this aspect of our ministry.

A Parents and Toddlers Group was run weekly, in the Parish Hall, once Covid restrictions lifted. There are two sessions, a morning and afternoon and this is well supported by volunteers from the church.

The Ladies Who Paint and Quilting Groups offer creative opportunities which support emotional and mental health.

Safeguarding Report for the AGM

Over the last few months we have begun to catch up with ensuring that the policies we have agreed in the past are implemented across the church and all her activities. Our first steps have been to ensure everyone involved in youth and children’s work has completely some up to date training and to look at our safer recruitment practice.

As the role of safeguarding grows we are creating a small team to ensure we do all we can to protect, children, young people, vulnerable adults and all those who work with them - still keeping

one person as contact for all concerns but allowing others to take the lead with recruitment, relevant health and safety etc.

Building Fabric Report for the AGM

During the past twelve months the main focus for work on the building has been in the rooms at the east end of the church beyond the chancel. Previously used as a vestry and meeting room, this area is being refurbished so it can be used for storage of items used occasionally within the life of the church, but also for church groups that need storage space to support more regular activities. Work began in May 2021 when fibre glass matting and sealant were applied to the valley gutter on the flat roof above the old meeting room. Two timber joists then had to be fitted to support the roof and matting and sealant had then to be applied to further sections of the roof itself.

Once the area was seen to be watertight the ceiling was replastered after vents had been fitted to ensure air could circulate in the roof space to prevent damp.

Finally, the walls and ceiling were prepared and painted and two freestanding steel shelving racks purchased and installed.

Work was also carried out to repair patches of plaster in the creche, old vestry and the rear lobby in preparation for these areas being decorated.

A new down pipe and hopper were fitted at the east end of the building.

More recently, during a period of heavy rain, water was again entering the church. Consequently, high level guttering on the south aisle roof was repaired, a new downpipe was fitted, gutter outlets were cleared and some lead flashing was re-fitted. Work was also needed to limit water ingress in the creche – roof slates were repaired and a section of rotten fascia board replaced. Looking forward, the old vestry will be cleared ready for re-decorating followed by the back lobby area and the creche.

A new priest-in- charge was appointed at the end of October. Planned gwing fell by £6.000 this year and due to Covid restrietions, which redu¢trd foottall on a Sunday, as well as only two baptisms held and no weddings, the collection plate takings were low again. They were slightly higher than in 2020 lup by £6001 but lower than pre-covid times120191. where they were about £3,000 higher. Dgspit8 this, we maintained the same level of Parish Share Contribution 01 £52.000 as in 2019 and 2020, although this was still short ol the requested amount 01 £76,000. Accounts receivable shows an amount of £14,447 but this is a change to the accounting procedure whereby the Grft Aid claim is shown for the year of the monies recgiV8d, although this will not be claimed from HMRC until April. Thèr8 is also some'held, money for a lew un-cleared payments at Y8ar End.

It was attempted to tidy this up for PCC, which didn't work- so this report has reverted to the original. Diane Williams Page I Page 2
