THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, DARESBURY.

REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1130503

ANNUAL REPORT 2023 AND

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2022

1

From the Curate-in-Charge and Chair of the PCC:

Dear All,

Another year has flown by and in the midst of uncertainty in government, a climate crisis, unrest and strikes and the scary prospect of yet more spiralling price rises in food and fuel, we find ourselves able to give thanks for God’s love and generous provision as we come together to celebrate the meaning of community in this place. And that’s what we do at this APCM – a time to look back on the year and reflect on some treasured memories. Perhaps we can each think about one or two and say thank you. I have had the delight of baptising several adults (becoming nicknamed Gill the Baptiser! Thanks, Kevin – I have had worse!) who, although their homeland and often their family and friends are faraway, have made All Saints Daresbury their home, because God has helped us to provide more than a safe space, more than a supportive meeting place, but a loving welcome for all who come in. And it is our friends from the hotel themselves, who say this is their home. And we have all contributed to this.

I am struck by how many times I am out and about at various meetings and people want to say how marvellous it is that we are providing a welcome and a support to those who have come unexpectedly to rural Cheshire seeking asylum. It is life-affirming, lifeenriching and when we have the privilege of listening to those ready to share their stories, we realise afresh how blessed we are in this country with all its problems, to be able to openly and unashamedly share our faith and worship together without fear. And we have all contributed to this.

We have worked together to make this a home, sharing our gifts and skills, our experiences and our sorrows and our joys, because that’s what families do. Sometimes we have disagreements and even fights but as Desmond Tutu said “Love is stronger than hate” (always!) and learning from mistakes and learning to give and to receive forgiveness are essential for growth.

And we have grown – we have grown together, we have grown in number, we have grown in faith, and we have grown stronger through our community links and the opportunity to make new friends through the events we have put on together - and this is in spite of the challenges of the unpredictable British weather, a doubting Thomas or two, and a very small minority who sadly criticise and attempt to tear down, instead of encouraging and building up.

And so it remains for me to say thank you for all that you do in Christ’s name – as I said last year, and I mean it, I could not make my contribution without you and I couldn’t have made the step to become Curate-in- Charge.

So to Linda and all who make pastoral visits and phone calls, to the Ministry team – Linda, Gavin, Simon, Jocelyn and the baptism team, to Claire, Gyopar and Hugh and the choir and to Mark and Ian and the live-streaming team and thanks to both Church wardens Andrew and Mark for sharing the responsibility of leadership, to Ian for being willing to take on the role of Assistant Church Warden and to Doug, Church warden Emeritus for generously sharing wisdom and knowledge, to the PCC and other elected officers, Myra as Secretary, Jocelyn as Treasurer, Kevin as Gift Aid Officer, Suzie and Steve as Safeguarding Officers , Stuart as Electoral Roll Officer, and to those who serve on the various subcommittees, Paul and the Facilities team and those who clean and care for the fabric – Stuart and Ellen and Eleanor and Jenny and Carol for flowers, Jocelyn and the Finance team, to Ian, Simon and Jocelyn for serving on Deanery Synod, to Derek and the

Lewis Carroll Centre team, to all those involved in social activities – Irene and Church Fellowship, Andrea and the Crafters, Sue and the Drop-in Tea and chat group, and to Mark and Andrew and our new Community Events and Fundraising team, to all those unnamed and vital contributors who I may have missed out, I am sorry, and to all of you for being supportive of the ministry and mission of this parish over the last year.

With love and prayer, as we move forward in trust and faith in God’s generous provision,

Gill

THE PARISH OF ALL SAINTS DARESBURY

All Saints Daresbury Parochial Church Council (PCC) has, as its primary object the promotion of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England , under the PCC Powers) Measure1956, has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

As a registered Charity, the PCC has to demonstrate that it has an identifiable benefit or benefits and that those benefits must be to the public or a section of, the public. Thus the PCC works, amongst other things, to advance the Christian religion and education, and the relief of poverty.

Members are required to act to further both these sets of purposes. In order to do so the PCC adopted some year ago the following vision statement and core values to guide its work:

Vision Statement

We strive to be an inclusive and outward looking Christian community embodying the life of Christ and bound together by the love of God and love for each other, welcoming everyone who wants to learn about and be involved in the Christian journey of faith.

Core Values

We turn our vision into action by recognising and valuing: -

Safeguarding

The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measures 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). More information can be found here

https:daresburycofe.org.uk/safeguarding

Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council

The PCC has met seven times in the past year, one of which was via Zoom. The business of the meetings has comprised the following:

Reports have been received from the various committees, discussions taken place and actions taken as necessary.

Work continued on the Parish profile

The Community Events and Fund Raising committee was formed to organise and run community events for the benefit of the whole parish. It meets once a month with extra meetings just before the date of events. Membership includes community representatives which establishes and cements community links.

A budget has been set

Some members attended a Vision Café as part of the Bishop’s initiative ‘Casting the Net Wide’

Members have been undertaking online safeguarding training

In November Archdeacon Mike Gilbertson attended the PCC meeting to report that Rev’d Gill had made a request to be considered to serve as Curate in Charge at Daresbury, and he explained how that might progress. The PCC resolved to support her and asked the diocese to begin the process.

Following a successful interview in January, Rev’d Gill was appointed Curate in Charge, and her licencing service was held in March this year, with Bishop Julie officiating and clergy and representatives from the deanery joining our congregation for the service in church.

Myra Fye,

PCC secretary.

Facilities Team Report 2023

The Facilities team have been responsible for the upkeep of the Church, its structure and surroundings over the past 12 months.

The Facilities team has again done an excellent job this year and is made up of the following members, Gill Younger, Doug Johnson, Stuart Wigley, Mark Longstaff, Steve Lander, Graham Lancaster and Phil Geddes. Our regular meetings take place on the first Friday of the month in the LC Centre..

The ongoing safety solution of grating to cover the moat around the church has at last been completed, and I hope you have all had a chance to have a look at the completed work.

We recently had to replace the heating control for the church boiler as the old controller had failed and was unrepairable. The new system we have had installed was paid for by a very generous anonymous donation, so no cost to the church. I would like to say thank you for this generous donation on behalf of the facilities team and I’m sure the rest of the PCC.

The cost and maintenance of the church lighting system has been a major project that the facilities team have continued to investigate over the past months, as we need to upgrade to a more efficient, cost effective solution, due to power costs and the redundancy and ineffieiency of the current light sources. We have looked at a few new LED lamp replacements but these are not compatible with with our current lighting control system. We consulted the original installer, who put forward their solution for upgrading the current system, together with a quote in excess of £40.000.

We have been in talks with another specialist LED lighting installer who seems confident that they could convert our system for an estimated cost of approximately £9,000, but their investigations are still ongoing.

The church alarm system and church clock have both recently been serviced

We have also had a roofing contractor carry out some unscheduled repairs to the LCC roof after damage

was reported by by the gutter cleaning contractor on one of their scheduled visits.

The construction of the storage containers located in the corner of the carpark das been completed over the last 12 months.

We commissioned a survey of the trees around the church recently as it is a number of years since the last survey. The survey has highlighted some work that has been recommended we carry out, and these works can be done once we have applied for and been granted for the necessary planning consent and faculty.

Another possible costly maintenance task which will need carrying out in future is the repair/replacement of the wooden louvres in the bell tower.

Once again I would like to thank the Facilities team for their hard work and ongoing support over the past year and look forward to continuing with the upkeep of the Church in the most cost effective and efficient way.

Paul Turner,

Chair, Facilities Team.

Lewis Carroll Centre Team Report

In 2022 we began accepting bookings from schools and other groups again. Five school visits were expected, but unfortunately one was unable to come because of difficulty finding a coach firm available to take their booking. It was good to be back to some kind of normality with our school activity sessions.

Guides were again on duty to welcome visitors on Sunday afternoons. However, a number of guides had decided to retire, so a meeting was held to recruit more potential volunteers for the 2023 season. Thankfully, volunteers came forward, and I’m sure they will enjoy their time meeting our visitors and helping them to find out a little about All Saints as well as Lewis Carroll

For Heritage Open Days in September we put on a small exhibition to celebrate some of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Astounding Inventions’ which was the theme for HOD 2022. We also marked the 150[th] anniversary of ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ as part of the display.

We have attended heritage and visitor economy meetings in Halton and Warrington, and continue to manage the shop, carrying out a stock count at the end of the year and ordering items as necessary throughout the year.

Thank you to the team for all they do, and to all those who contribute in so many different ways to making our visitors welcome.

Deryk Fye,

Chair, LCC Team

Daresbury Church Fellowship

The past year has seen Daresbury Church Fellowship return to regular meetings after Covid restrictions ceased. We meet regularly on the third Tuesday of the month at 2 pm in the Lewis Carroll Centre. We have an annual fee of £6, and try to organise outings to interesting places during the summer months. We don’t have a speaker every month, but in April Frances Ireland of St. James’s church, Latchford spoke to us on her experience of being given Maundy Money last year by Prince Charles, and spoke about its origins.

In October we ate lunch together at the Swan in Winwick before being given a very interesting tour of St. Oswald’s church. We found the carved pig high on the bell tower wall and even discovered a photograph of one of our party as a young member of the choir! The following month we met at Warrington police station for a guided tour of the museum which is housed there. It was fascinating to see all the exhibits and learn about policing in Cheshire from the time of horse drawn vehicles right up to the present day. Some of us

even tried on an old style police cape and helmet. Think Dixon of Dock Green, if your memory goes that far back!

In March we had a conducted tour of Norton Priory, followed by lunch in their café. Our Christmas celebrations took the form of Christmas lunch at the ‘Ring ‘ Bells’ in Daresbury, and in May we are all going by coach to the Piece Hall in Halifax. On all of these outings we are joined by husbands and friends.

Irene Rutter

Children’s Society

All Saints has long supported the work of the Children’s Society through a collection taken at the Christingle service which is held on Christmas Eve, and then in March we send in the money saved in the house boxes.

Christmas 2022 saw a return to the traditional Christingle service, so a small group was able to meet up in the Lewis Carroll Centre to make up the Christingles ready to be distributed among the congregation during the service. The cash collection raised £164.

These days, with the widespread use of cashless payments, some supporters choose to donate direct to the Children’s Society. However, the money raised through the house boxes this year was boosted by a couple of ‘extra’ boxes, and amounted to a splendid £368.58p.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Children’s Society over the past year, in whatever capacity, and if you would like to have a house box to collect your spare change, just let me know.

Myra Fye, Parish contact.

Crafters

.

Crafters has had another successful year, raising £914.70 in total for church funds. This despite a slight drop in numbers due to illness and transport difficulties and also our sales week in November being the only outlet this last year, except for a perishables sale one Sunday in December to clear these items. We were due to have a table at the Carols in the Carpark event which unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the weather. My thanks as always go to all who contributed in whatever capacity.

We continue to meet in the Lewis Carroll Centre from 10am to noon on the third Wednesday of the month, except for December. New members are always welcome. We’re a friendly group and enjoy our chat, drinks and biscuits (sometimes cake) as we enjoy our crafting.

Andrea Evans.

Tea and Chat

With a number of people who are seeking asylum and living in the local hotel attending Church services, an idea for a ‘Tea and Chat’ afternoon was formed and it started in March 2022. It is held each week on a Thursday between 1.30 and 3.30 pm, and is open to anyone to just ‘drop in’. Visitors get to play board games, dominoes or cards, do crafts or just talk while enjoying drinks and various things to eat. It is a welcoming and positive experience for everyone who comes along, and has proved very popular.

Sue White

Deanery Synod Report

Three meetings of Deanery Synod were held in 2022.

In February at Walton, there were discussions regarding the ongoing impact of Covid on church life. There was also feedback on the visit of the three bishops to the Deanery.

In July at Grappenhall, Neil Hudson from Manchester diocese spoke about mission in the 21[st] century. He encouraged us to feel positive, the church would not die on our watch, every generation thinks this but the 6% of the population who worship once a month can have considerable impact on their workplaces and home communities.

In October at Appleton, Harriet Roberts, the Diocesan director of vision and strategy led the vision café. This meeting was open to all as the views of the widest number of people are sought in order to determine the values which will shape the strategy for the future work and growth of Chester Diocese.

Afternote: The bishops will report the findings to the diocese on 20[th] May in Chester cathedral.

Jocelyn Squires,

Deanery synod member.

Traidcraft

Traidcraft went into liquidation in January 2023. It had been in difficulty for a while, and then the closure of churches for the pandemic was the final straw.

The charity still exists under a new name, Transform Trade, supporting the producers by, amongst other things, trying to find them new markets. Transform Trade is a global community of farmers, workers, collectives, campaigners, donors and supporters who work together for trade that values people over profit.

I now order the church refreshments from Kingdom Coffee, an independent family owned company, so that we continue to serve Fairtrade supplies.

Jocelyn Squires.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PCC

This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 8, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is therefore needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you, as trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 8, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner

As members of the PCC, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is therefore needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you, as trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
