2021 Report and Accounts of the Parochial Church Council
Structure, governance, management & administrative information
The Anglican Parish of St Oswald’s, Filey (with St John’s, Filey and St Thomas’, Gristhorpe) in the Diocese of York. The Diocese Charity Number is CN244976
The Parish of Filey consists of St Oswald’s and St John’s in Filey and St Thomas’ in the village of Gristhorpe. It is part of the Diocese of York within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Parish Office, St John’s Church, West Avenue, Filey YO14 9AU. The Vicar’s correspondence address is The Vicarage, 5 Belle Vue Crescent, Filey YO14 9AD.
Filey Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Nigel Chapman, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the churches of St. Oswald’s, Church Hill, Filey YO14 9ET; St John’s West Avenue, Filey YO14 9AU which incorporates The Parish Centre. St Thomas’, Main Street, Gristhorpe YO14 9PP has the status of a private Chapel and is administered by its own church committee, liaising with the PCC.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of Filey PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens, members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church and the Treasurer and Secretary.
All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the Parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The PCC met 6 times during 2021 at St John’s with an average level of attendance of 13 present. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship, mission and outreach, fabric, finance and staffing are all responsible to the PCC and report their recommendations to the PCC for discussion and decision as required.
The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006). The PCC is registered with the Charity Commissioners, registration number 1130668.

Those members in positions of leadership have been actively taking part and renewing their safeguarding training provided by the Diocese.
Aim and purposes
Filey Parish exists to further the mission of the world-wide church and of the Church of England in
particular. Its chief objectives within this aim are:
-
The regular worship of God: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
-
The teaching of Christian faith and doctrine to all ages
-
The pastoral care of parishioners
-
Evangelism and outreach
-
Offering friendship and fellowship to parishioners and visitors alike
-
To identify and make best use of the gifts and skills of both clergy and laity
-
To co-operate as closely as possible with the other Christian churches in the town (Churches Together in Filey), seeking to live out the terms of the covenant made between them in the year 2000AD
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community in Filey. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people 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.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of all our Churches and The Parish Centre@ St Johns.
The Parish aims to provide opportunities for regular worship at the Parish Church, and the two other Anglican church buildings within Filey and Gristhorpe. Its ministry is offered to all who
Page 2 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
live in the Parish, without distinction. We seek to work closely with the other Christian denominations within the town.
Objectives and Activities
As people of faith, our purpose is to worship and serve God both in the life of the Church and the wider community. We believe in a loving God revealed to us through the Bible and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are flawed people, but ... God’s grace reaches out to everyone. THEREFORE:
Our Mission is to be the family of Christ, who love and serve God, filled by the Holy Spirit, sharing God’s love in word and action. We endeavour to do this in three ways:
-
Deepening our faith. By developing a richness of commitment and becoming more Christ-like.
-
Growing the Church. By reaching out to others with God's love, building fellowship and adding to our numbers those who believe.
-
Serving the community. By having concern for the needs of others and respond in the way of Christ with compassion, kindness, humility and patience.
Legacy Policy
The policy was reviewed in December 2021. The overriding aim is to use legacy gifts to further the work of the church here in Filey, including mission and outreach to the people of Filey and the development of our buildings, facilities or staff to help that happen. The overriding aim of this policy is to use every gift received to make a real and meaningful difference in the parish where it is most needed. Accordingly, the PCC encourages donors to leave their legacy gift for the general purposes of the parish.

Achievements and Performance
Vicar’s Report Revd. Nigel Chapman MA - Vicar of Filey
I would like to thank all volunteers working so hard to make each of our churches the lively, vibrant and diverse community it is. In particular I am grateful to our churchwardens Angela Burkitt, Graham Simpson, Pam Roberts, Ann Simpson and Patrick Malton who have worked so tirelessly on our behalf. Thank you to Christine Wilson and Graham Wilkinson for leading the refurbishment and re-opening of the Parish Centre @ St John’s. Thanks too to Liz Goodwill for her Administration support and knowledge of the affairs of the parish. To Michael Prince for his positive and faith filled approach to looking after the church finances and to Lesley Prince (Multiply) for the creative and passionate work being done with families, gently introducing them to the Christian faith and church community.
I am also so very grateful to everyone for all you have done in the service of Christ and the church during another difficult year. We have endeavoured to be creative and do what we can within the Covid restrictions. I believe we have done an amazing ministry together, added to which we have completed the Parish Centre and done other significant items of maintenance. The Parish Centre was dedicated by Bishop Alison in June and many groups have been returning. New groups and fresh opportunities are developing. There is still much to do and so we seek ways in which we can continue to serve God and this community together.
Wardens & PCC
4 of 5 church wardens have indicated they will be stepping down at the next APCM. As ever they have all been a joy to work with and their sense of ‘Duty of Care’ and passion for the work has been exemplary. Sometimes the weight of responsibility can be heavy but it has been borne with a great deal of enthusiasm and laughter. Thank You! My thanks too to the PCC for their stamina over the year.
The PCC met remotely (January to June) and in person (July to December). Various maintenance work has been done with repairs to St Oswald’s roof, stonework, organ, windows, a new lighting system installed and faculty application for the transepts project and south entrance to St John’s.
Worship and Prayer
My thanks go to all who have been involved in leading worship in whatever capacity you have done so. From January to Easter (4th April) we were closed again but during this time we provided some creative services on YouTube and continued Zoom services three times a week. A small but regular number meet together on line and these services will continue. Holy Communion in one kind has been available and later by ‘intinction’. Friday Communion restarted after Easter with two per month, the other weeks being Lay led services. Café Church resumed with a slightly different set up. Around 50-65% of parishioners have returned to in person services.
Revd. Wilma announced she is stepping down from leading Café Church in April 22. My thanks to her for such superb commitment over the years in leading this service.
Occasional Offices:
Weddings and baptisms have continued wherever possible within the limitations. Many though chose to defer until next year. There were some lovely small and intimate weddings that offered a very different feel to the occasion from the norm. Funerals have had severe restrictions placed on them but as the year moved on and restrictions were lifted, we have been involved in an increasing number, plus there have been numerous requests for memorial services.
Page 4 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
Many parish activities also resumed including Baptism / Wedding Preparation, Parish Fellowship, Mothers’ Union, Toddler Group, Parish Lunches, Open Church etc. Chaplaincies have also resumed with Police, RNLI and Sea Cadets. A successful Alpha Group was held from September to December, led by Huw and a team of volunteers.
Finances
Broadly speaking you will see a break-even situation. We had a stewardship programme during Lent in the Parish Link and we continue to seek ways to make it easier for parishioners and visitors to give to the work of the church. The curate’s house was sold and it is envisaged that monies from the sale will be used to help further our Mission.
Multiply
A difficult year but work among the 20’s to 40’s age group is crucial outreach. It is not children’s work although inevitably this age demographic includes their children. The purpose is to build relationships with those we don’t currently reach and create new worshipping communities. These will look very different from the gathered church most of us are used to. Please continue to pray for this work and consider if you could help with this ministry.
Pastoral Care
The Pastoral Team resumed home visiting in May with home communion and held a Christmas Pastoral Tea to which elderly and bereaved people were invited. Currently 17 people are visited at home. We would like to grow the team in the coming year.
Curate
John ‘Huw’ Waring was ordained Deacon in June at York Minster and he and Kimberlee were welcomed into the family of the church. Huw continues his training ‘in post’ for the next few years. Please remember that Huw is a Self-Supporting Minister (SSM) and as such has limited time availability. He will be ordained ‘Priest’ on 11th June 2022 and he will then be able to preside at the Eucharist and weddings. Having a Curate also necessitates my attendance at some ongoing training events.
Ordinand
We are excited that Claire Stubbs entered training for ministry in September. Claire was on her first placement in the parish from Advent 2021 until Easter 2022. Her training will last 3 years before ordination.
Away Day
An important day for us held in October at Wydale Hall and facilitated by Bishop Graham Cray. It was an excellent time of discussion and prayer as we began to consider priorities and what a post covid church could look like for us. This is ongoing work for PCC and the congregations. We are not restarting everything we used to do and we do need to become less frenzied in our work and mission.
All Souls and Remembrance Day
As many restrictions had been lifted by November, both of these services resumed and were well attended, although only at around 50% of pre-covid levels.
Christmas
Services resumed with a change in times (4.30 Crib Service, 11.00 Midnight Communion). Both well attended given the circumstances, but again only around 50% of the 2019 numbers.
Finally, a personal thank you to all of you for your support. I am grateful especially for your prayers and concern for our well-being and that of the family, especially during the past two challenging years.

Angela Burkitt and Graham Simpson
St. John’s Church Wardens’ report
Another strange year for all our churches juggling Lockdowns and Covid restrictions. The main event was the completion of the reordering of the Parish Hall to become the Parish Centre. A great achievement for all involved and the cause of many headaches.
It has been a pleasure and privilege to welcome back our congregations on a Friday morning as well as at Café Church.
A band of dedicated volunteers worked hard to begin to get the garden under control and it was used for our Holiday club activities including a family barbecue.
A big thank you to Christine Wilson and Graham Wilkinson for their continued care for the fabric of St Johns’ Church.
Ann Simpson and Pam Roberts.
St. Thomas’ Church Warden’s Report
After 4 months break from 1st January to 1[st] April 2021, we have managed to hold regular services since last April last year with an average attendance of 13 members per week. Six new members have since joined us. Also, because of Corvid 19, our usual Holiday Caravaners were out of circulation and we expect them to return this April. We have held two Open Days which are proving popular.
The Country Music Band is practicing each week and it is proving a most useful asset to our local community.
The land beyond the car park at the rear of the church has now been converted to a purpose-built outdoor Play Area for Mums and Tots and is run by Emma Harrison 25 Main St. Access to and from the site has been agreed and a license has been issued accordingly.
Page 8 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
The fabric of the church is of a very good standard and requires little maintenance at this present time. The church finances are looking healthy. So, many thanks to our members for helping to keep St Thomas’s Church up to standard. I have been in regular contact with all the members throughout the pandemic.
And a special thank you to Viv Allen (Music), Anne Mead (Finance) and Janice Redman (Coffee) for their invaluable service throughout the year.
I am pleased to state that Ann Sargent will be taking over as the new Church Warden in April.
Patrick Malton
Deanery Synod
There were four meetings of Deanery Synod during 2021. Those held in March and May were via Zoom but by the June meeting we were able to meet in person. The themes for the 2021 meetings were:
March - Caroline Edwards, Diocesan Children and Youth Advisor spoke about the Children of Light Festival being held during 2021, which had the aim of. supporting and resourcing growth in the relationships with families, children and young people which had been initiated during the ‘Come and See’ Archbishop’s mission in 2020.
May –Ven. Amanda Bloor, Archdeacon of Cleveland spoke of her passion for clergy well-being, and that those who feel well supported and healthy will serve at their best. She spoke of the need to begin to think about and talk about the subject; to identify that clergy are happiest when they have a clear idea of what they are here for. The responsibility to care for our clergy is shared between the PCC and the church, and each are being asked to take time to think upon this.
June - Ven. Andy Broom, Archdeacon of East Riding gave a presentation on the Diocesan Consultation ‘ Living Christ’s Story’. Andy explained how the consultation began with conversations within Deanery Leadership teams and was now being discussed by PCC’s, to prayerfully discern together God’s strategy for moving forward.
October - Sharing good news stories of generosity from around the deanery. Synod members shared experiences of engaging with their communities during the pandemic period. These included links formed between the Spring Café at All Saints’ Hunmanby and the Hunmanby Free Fridge Project; the work being done by the Rainbow Centre with the Afghan refugees staying locally and the involvement of Westway Open Arms at Eastfield in Covid provision for the community.
The Deanery also organised a service of Thanksgiving for Key Workers during the year and two events as part of the Vision for a Generous Church initiative.
Anne Mead
Worship and Prayer
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 133 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 8 of whom are not resident within the parish.
The average weekly attendance (adults and children), counted during October 2021, obviously these figures have been affected by Covid restrictions upon services: 52 at St Oswald’s, 35 at St John’s and 13 at St Thomas’.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping.
Page 9 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
During 2021 There has been:
-
Baptisms – 3 children.
-
Weddings - 3 Weddings.
-
Funeral Services in Church - 11
-
Thanksgiving Services (for Funerals held previously during Covid restrictions) – 3
-
Crematoria Funerals – 20
-
Cemetery burials (the Lawns) – 4
-
Burial of ashes in St Oswald’s Churchyard - 11.
Café Church
We started regular services of Cafe Church after lock down on 10th May 2021. because of social; distancing we needed to alter the way we seated people and decided 'theatre style' would be the safest way. I created three new 'Praise type services' which were displayed on the screen and the church wardens, Ann and Pam have been reading the words of the service and mostly I've been welcoming people and preaching and giving thanks and blessings at the end. Unfortunately, during lock down, we lost most of our children and just a very few 'faithful' families have continued to attend. Numbers of adults attending have also been down. It was 10th October 2021 when we went back to Cafe Church style worship although because of Covid restrictions we still had to be exceedingly careful with safety regulations in order to keep people safe.
We have a dedicated team of people who help with the service they have been so hard working and loyal.
The service is still presented in an 'up beat' manner with a lot of fun and yet a very prominent serious message from the Gospel reading of the day and sketches or videos to support that. We started to provide coffee and snacks again throughout the service.
Although we haven't had lots of toys out because of restrictions we've been providing clip boards and plastic envelopes containing material to emphasise the meaning of the Bible reading of the day, and pens and scissors and glue to 'make and do'. Plus of course the odd lolly! Numbers have been gradually going up again.
We have used the projector and screen for all our services and Paul has been brilliant at providing a smooth-running service.
We have had an eclectic mixture of music during the 'none' singing times of lock down and it has certainly opened our eyes as to what is possible.
It seems very strange to be writing my last report but it has been a privilege to run Cafe Church at St. John's for eight years. There have been some amazing services during that time and we all give thanks to God for providing, the talents, the gifts, the energy and the foresight to put on a service like this.
Rev'd Wilma Horton.
Monthly Mediations
I have supplied monthly meditations for the parish all through the last year as a resource to help during Covid. Following the method of the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer, these meditations focus on a word spoken by God in the bible, helping us to understand it with the mind, then to contemplate it simply letting it speak to us, and then to let it speak through us to those for whom we pray.
I will continue to supply these meditations if people find them helpful, as something that feeds into the strong spiritual resources already in place in Filey parish.
Rev Charles Dobbin
Page 10 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
Zoom Services
Throughout 2021 we continued to offer some Sunday services on line as well as services three times a week via Zoom (Morning Prayers on Wednesday and Thursday and Evening Prayer on Sunday). While numbers have been small, they have provided a place to come together to pray, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the scriptures and discuss and learn from each other. It has also provided opportunity for peer-to-peer pastoral care and prayer for one another.
As Norman Viles comments (and echoes for all who attend): For me they have been wonderful: and, yes, that is the appropriate word. They have given me a new insight into my faith, how threadbare it was and how richer it is now. Why ? I think above all because in attending a Zoom service you become involved: you no longer just sit and listen, whether you agree with the sentiment/logic/arguments put to you in a conventional service you cannot comment: in Zoom meetings you can question, hear the input of those who are infinitely more versed, better read, than I am and maybe I too can offer something that may matter. That difference has been profound as far as I am concerned. Every service has mattered. In every service I have learnt something that has helped me greatly and especially over the last few months. The value of the provision of this service has been fabulous and for it I, for one at least, am very grateful.
Rev Nigel Chapman
Open the Book
Covid restrictions forbade visits to school until September. We were warmly welcomed back to our Church school and have had the privilege of sharing dramatized Bible stories with all the children. Our aim is to visit about once a month to contribute to Collective worship on a Monday morning. It is wonderful to see how the children react to our stories. The group was started by Liz Kitching and has been running for an amazing 8 years albeit interrupted by the Pandemic. Sadly, some of our team have had to drop out and others are showing signs of age (sorry folks). Without new recruits we may have to close down this opportunity to spread the good news. Please help if you can.

Multiply Ministry Report 2021
At the beginning of the year Multiply was at the early stage of development and due to a continued lock down most outreach was happening with Family Time on Zoom and the giving out of craft and activity bags. At this point there were only 2/3 families involved.
As things began to open up and outside meetings were allowed, a Park Meet was started once a week with about 4/5 mums coming to an informal gathering at the park in Glen Gardens. For Mother’s Day a craft activity was organised with the Infants school for children to decorate a heart and then to bring it for a display at St John’s and collect a Mother’s Day posy (thank you to Christine and the flower ladies).
At Easter, an egg hunt was organised with an egg collection from St John’s gardens. A number of families took part and more relationships started to grow and new ones made. After the Summer Adventure week, a BBQ was held and all the families from Adventure week were invited. This was another opportunity to get to know people and spend time together. In September we started Family Time in person, meeting once a month on a Saturday for a bible story, song, games, craft, quizzes, fun and food. Since then, we have had 10 families who have been to a Family Time with about 5 attending regularly.
Page 11 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
At Christmas we held a Christmas Celebration for families, a number of families from Family Time came and one toddler family.
Although in some ways, this has been a difficult year having to navigate the regulations around Covid restrictions we are truly grateful to God for His grace and protection in being able to keep moving forward. It is a pleasure to serve Him in this ministry. We have a small team at the moment but if you feel this is a ministry you would like to be involved in or know more about, please speak to Lesley.

Pastoral Committee Annual Report
It is good to report that we are once again able to visit parishioners, who are unable to attend church, with Home Communion in their own homes. Currently we make eighteen such visits per month and maintain written contact where we are unable to visit.
There are currently seven members of the Pastoral Team making these visits, though it would be good to have more members join the team therefore, if you would like to know more about what we do, please talk to Rev Nigel Chapman for further information.
A training course for Parish Bereavement Visitors has been written, which Rev Paul Burkitt and Janice Midwood will jointly deliver, in the first instance to current Pastoral Team members thereby providing the opportunity to review the course and amend as necessary for future training. In addition to the Bereavement Training Course anyone who joins the Pastoral Team will need to have completed necessary Diocesan Safeguarding Training, carry photo-identification badges and log all visits with the ‘Administrator’ as and when they happen. Visitors will also attend group supervision every three months with the added option of consulting with a supervisor in between, should the need arise, so that anyone wishing to visit on behalf of the church can feel supported in doing so.
Angela Burkitt and Janice Midwood led a five-week course entitled ‘Exploring Christian Spirituality’ from September to October. Eight participants fully engaged with the spiritual exercises, based on Ignatian Spirituality, embarking on their own spiritual journey as individuals and as a supportive group. It was a privilege for us to facilitate and be part of the process. There is a waiting list for when the course runs again in the near future. Anyone who is interested in joining the course are welcome to add their names to the list which Liz holds in the Parish Office.
A Christmas Pastoral Afternoon Tea with Carol Singing and Entertainment was held on Friday 17[th] December in St John’s Church and Community Centre, free of charge, for the recently bereaved and those currently visited by the Pastoral Team. Transport was provided where requested. Just under twenty people attended the Afternoon, which was enjoyed by everyone, and we are very grateful for the extra help on the day.
Following the success of the Christmas Pastoral Afternoon Tea the team hopes to provide similar events at Easter, Summer, Autumn and again at Christmas.
If you would like a member of the pastoral team to visit you, or you know someone who does, please let us know by contacting the Parish Office, Janice Midwood or Rev Nigel Chapman.

Parish Singers
A slow start musically to the year, but thankfully on Good Friday 2nd April the choir were finally able to get back together to practice for the Easter Sunday Service.
A small and select band of around ten members, but all eager to sing and lead worship in St Oswald’s Church. Due to COVID restrictions and guidance, there was a need to think
Page 12
Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
creatively. This meant the choir sitting and singing in triangular formation in the South Transept pews. However, this did have a positive twist, as the sound carried around the church much better and could be heard even at the back of church. I also took to playing the keyboard from the front of church to the left of the lectern, from where I could communicate with the choir much more easily. It was good to hear the choir to sing once again, although sad that the congregation were not allowed to.
During June and July, we prepared for Don Smith’s Memorial service, not knowing whether it would be able to go ahead or not. Thankfully on the actual day (19th July) some Covid restrictions were lifted which meant that the service could go ahead, and the congregation could sing for the first time in months. It was great to hear the church full of singing once again. On the 27th of June, the choir sang at the Parish Centre dedication service which was attended by Bishop Alison. The choir were also asked to sing at the memorial services of Eileen Hodgson on the 30th of July and that of Ray Kilsby on the 25th of September. Since September, due to me being busy with my college course we have rehearsed about every other week but have continued to sing in most Sunday morning services at St Oswald’s. It would be fantastic to welcome a few new members into the choir, as we continue to learn new hymns and songs, and help to lead worship within the parish.

Filey Mothers’ Union
Well, it was a strange year as Covid was still spoiling everything. We managed to have our A.G.M. in July followed by a short service. Our second meeting took the form of a memorial service for members and friends who had died during the Covid lock down.
We managed to have our over 80’s tea party and quiz in church before our usual summer break.
The welcome back Taizé service was in September as usual, and we then had our usual meetings from then until Christmas. We were pleased to welcome Izzy from IDAS in November and gave her £150 in vouchers for Christmas gifts for the families. Our last meeting before Christmas was a party with a quiz.
Many thanks to the Committee who keep our Filey Mothers’ Union going.
Ann Simpson Secretary.
Sparklers
We managed to start our new style Sparklers in September. Instead of going into the infant’s school we invited families from the infants to come with their children to St John’s Parish Hall on Tuesdays after school. When we went into school, we had at least 12 children per session but we didn’t get to know the families.
Due to covid we had to stop going into school so we started with 4 families with 7 children. Since then, we have 5 families with 7 children, it sounds strange, but 2 families stopped and 2 new families joined and the numbers of children altered.
We still follow the format of crafts and stories but unlike when we were in school, we provide a tea for the children and we are there from 3.30pm to 4.40pm. We have really got to know the families this way and we all enjoy our Tuesday afternoons.
Sheila Sutcliff has had to leave the team due to health reasons so currently we are Ann Simpson, Sue Harrington, Pam Roberts and Janice Midwood, with Lesley Prince in reserve.

Parish Baby and Toddler Group
In May we invited babies born during lock down for a trial 6 weeks This was the first time many had chance to interact with others which was a joy to see. It also gave the volunteers chance to work out how we could make the newly refurbished centre work for them. The decision had already been made not to use the church space because of the amount of work involved .
In September the group started but gradually increasing numbers with the aim of keeping everyone safe. This did mean we created a waiting list which was difficult and not what we wanted. Gradually as covid numbers have decreased we have opened up more. We have 32 on our register with an average attendance of 24.
It is a lively group with some interesting little people who keep us on our toes it is a joy to watch them develop. There is also chance to have conversations with mums, dads and grandparents.
It is run entirely by volunteers and we are actively seeking more help to ensure the group continues. As the only Toddler group in the town, it is essential we look for ways to increase safely our volunteer numbers.

Community week 2021 - also known as SUMMER ADVENTURE ACTIVITY.
Prior to Covid we would run a one-week summer club this was not doable in 2020 or 2021 so we had a Summer adventure instead.
In 2020 children collected craft materials and a picnic to take home in 2021 we had our Summer Adventure in St John’s Garden on Wednesdays in August. Fortunately, God provided dry Wednesdays through August. We had about an hour of crafts, story time and then we had picnics on the grass. We had a games area and a baby area several craft tables including junk modelling and play dough. This was all very popular and we had over 30 families taking part over the 4 weeks.
We ended the last week with a Bar-b-q that everyone was invited to. The families agreed that one day a week during Summer was better that one whole week and helpers found it less tiring too.
We had a planning team, craft team, a catering team, games leaders, registration team, and many other helpers who helped to make the Adventure a success. Thank you everyone who made it possible.
Ann Simpson and team.
St. Oswald’s Flower Ladies
The Flower Ladies continue to enjoy their work in the church providing floral arrangements for services and the occasional special event, especially now restrictions have been removed. The church is currently bare of flowers as it is Lent, and we do the same during Advent in order that the mind is focused on what the season will present at the end of the period. Although only four regular members, we have a couple of volunteers willing to help with arrangements at Easter and Christmas, but we are always ready to welcome anyone who would like to come along and share the wonderful gift of flower arranging in the tranquility of an empty church on Friday mornings (usually!). Please talk to any of the Flower Ladies (Jo Ward, Margaret Plewes, Pauline Crawford or Denise Wilkinson) if you would like to join our small but friendly group.

Bell Ringers Report 2020
There is very little to report from St. Oswald’s tower for 2021. We are all, once again, reporting for bell ringing duties on Sunday mornings and it is lovely to be back!
A bell was tolled for an hour before Prince Philip’s funeral service on 17 April. We also rang prior to Don Smith’s thanksgiving and memorial service last summer. There was only one wedding requiring bells, for which we rang before and after. Covid certainly has a great deal to answer for!

2020 Vision Parish Centre Refurbishment Project
After a £204,000 refurbishment the Centre gradually opened during 2021 as covid restrictions allowed. We were delighted that the Bishop was able to come and bless the centre and we were able to enjoy tea in the garden.
The Centre is now used some part of every day of the week. There are 17 groups at the present time and as space allows it is growing.
We are very grateful to Sandra our cleaner who has 2 hours a week to keep both floors of the centre clean, not made easy with the mandatory glass doors.
There was a determined effort to keep the garden tidy last year and meetings were held in person because of this. .We are grateful to the volunteers who came when possible and we look forward to starting again in April.
Phase 1 and 2 of the Vision are now complete and we move forward to essential work need on the outside doors and stone work. This work is essential especially as the holes in the stone work are allowing heat out of the building. Fund raising has started and we are looking for grants.

The Children’s Society 2021 report
Having taken on the role of being Children’s Society Rep from Sheila Sutcliffe just before the Covid Pandemic, an afternoon tea with musical entertainment from the Village Voices ladies’ choir was planned for May 2020.
However, the plans were thwarted, but we hoped the afternoon could be re-scheduled later. The Christingle service planned for the 31[st] of January at the occasion of Candlemas could not take place. Instead, Rev’d Nigel and I recorded two short films where we explored the significance of the Christingle and the story of Anna and Simeon. People were encouraged to make Christingles at home and some Christingle bags were dropped off at people’s homes. Thank you to all those supporters who continued to fill their Boxes and the donations made, unfortunately we could not have the usual Coffee Morning and box emptying at the beginning of the year.
After Covid restrictions were lifted it was great to be able to hold a ‘Cream Teas, Cake and Chatter’ event at St John’s on the 31[st of] July 2021. People were able to meet inside the Parish Hall or outside in the garden. Fortunately, the rain held off until we had just cleared up and a lovely afternoon was had including a cake stall, raffle, buy a bag, a quiz, and refreshments. Thank you to the small team of helpers who made the event possible and nearly £300 was raised for the Children’s Society.
On the afternoon of 27[th] November, the Village Voices were finally able to come and perform, the first concert they had done since the start of the Pandemic! We enjoyed a lovely afternoon

of musical entertainment served alongside Afternoon Teas in St John’s Church. Taking over as Rep has not been without its challenges but I hope things will settle down as we move into 2022. I would like to say thank you to Sheila Sutcliffe for the years she was the Rep and the effort she put into the role. I hope that as a Parish we can continue to support the important work the Children’s Society do in the future. Thank you for everyone’s efforts and financial support.

Community Lunches
These have now started back up again after the Pandemic. When they started again, we asked that people booked their seat to ensure we were within safe distancing guidelines. Once restrictions were lifted it has returned to an open event. The date is not fixed to each month; however, we are hoping to continue as often as we can. We hope to offer everyone in the community a warm welcome, meal and fellowship. We do not ask a set price for meals but we ask for donations towards the cost and there is always a raffle held by doing it this way we hope people will give what they can afford to do so. Any money raised is given away to local charities. We have been able to financially “twin” our Parish fridges to help in countries who have food crisis’s especially during the Covid pandemic.

Ecumenical Relationships
Filey Parish is a member of Churches Together in Filey (CTiF) in which a covenant was signed in 2000AD between Filey Methodist Church, St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and the Salvation Army in Filey. The Chairman during 2021 was Rev Kevin Ridd. Both the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and Lent courses were not able to go ahead due to government restrictions. It is hoped that stronger relationships will be built upon in the coming year.
Mission and Evangelism
The Weekly Link returned to a Monthly Link and it still provides a valuable opportunity to include a Monthly reflection, personal stories of faith, articles from the diocese, prayer requests and useful diary dates it is another communication source for the Parish. This is available by email and also hard copies are available in the churches.
Financial Review
The annual financial statements for the 12 months ended 31[st] December 2021 are prepared on the accruals accounting basis.
Unrestricted Funds
Total income in relation to unrestricted funds was £148,305 (2020: £101,548) of which £39,106 (26% of the total) came from tax-efficient planned giving. Income tax recoverable under the Gift Aid scheme amounted to £13,147 (2020: £6,580). Further unrestricted income was received from sources including donations, Parish fees (for marriages and funerals), Parish Centre rents and investment income. Unrestricted expenditure relates mainly to day-to-day running costs of our two church buildings and includes a contribution to York Diocese, utilities costs, insurance, the costs of Sunday and mid-week services, clergy and administration. In 2021, total unrestricted expenditure totalled £122,020 (2020: £115,718). The surplus of income over expenditure of £26,285 (2020: £14,170 deficit) less net movement in reserves of £46,000 (2020: £nil) was added to unrestricted reserves. Unrestricted reserves at 31[st] December 2021 amounted to £197,862 (2020: £217,597).
Page 16 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
In relation to day-to-day items of income and expenditure, there were no significant items, though both were influenced by COVID lockdown closures. In addition, the profit on sale property of £27,000 contributed to this year’s surplus. Excluding this profit, the financial position of the Parish churches for 2021 was broadly break-even. Given 2021 was a year of moving out of government restrictions towards a situation similar to preCOVID, the financial position is considered satisfactory.
The PCC monitors the financial situation of the Parish at PCC meetings. Major cost areas have been, and continue to be, reviewed for value for money, taking advantage of fixed-term deals, for example. It should also be noted that many of the running costs of mission and buildings are fixed in the medium-term.
Restricted Funds
Restricted income amounted to £45,411 (2020: £89,620) three-quarters of which related to St John’s Fabric Fund (2020Vision).
Donations and legacies are recognised only when received. Pledges, promises and similar intentions are not included in the PCC’s accounts until received. Where donations are received under a valid Gift Aid declaration, the amount of income tax recoverable is included as an amount owing to the PCC (until the actual tax refund is received) and allocated to the respective donation/fund.
Restricted expenditure amounted to £219,735 (2020: £94,677). At St Oswald’s £35,736 included the cost of repairing and re-pointing parts of the roof and wall, professional cleaning of several stained-glass windows and completion of the interior lighting system. At St John’s, £183,999 covered the completion of the refurbishment and upgrade work together with associated professional fees, all including VAT.
As at 31[st] December 2021, the balance of restricted funds for St Oswald’s was £29,851 (2020: £52,294) and for St John’s (2020Vision) was £8,164 (2020: £114,045).
Including other historical restricted reserves, total restricted reserves at 31[st] December 2021 amounted to £41,691 (2019: £169,557). Note 10 of the financial statements provides further detail.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. For the year ended 31[st] December 2021, this is equivalent to approximately £35,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet unforeseen day-to-day expenditure.
Available unrestricted reserves at 31[st] December 2021 stood at £197,862 (2020: £217,597), which is more than required. The PCC continues to give consideration to the management and utilisation of unrestricted reserves over and above the amount to be retained in accordance its reserves policy.

Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
Filey Parochial Church Council Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2021
Accounting Policies
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
Cashflow Statement
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern
Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period
Description of Funds
Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.
Restricted funds comprise of two elements :
-
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest
-
b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Income
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
Page 21 Filey PCC – Trustees Report and Accounts year-ended 31[st] December 2021
Governance and Support Costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included from the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(c) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time).
No depreciation is provided on buildings as the currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.
Other tangible fixed assets are valued at cost less depreciation to date. The depreciation rates and methods used are:
-
Freehold property – nil
-
Other fixed assets & equipment – 15%pa on a reducing balance basis.
Assets acquired with an individual cost of £10,000 or less are not capitalised and written off in the year of acquisition.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments
Debtors
Debtors are recorded at the actual amount receivable.
Creditors and Accruals
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any applicable discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
Taxation
The church is an excepted charity within the meaning of the Taxes Acts. Accordingly, it is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received to the extent that such income and gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No provision for taxation has been made in these financial statements.
