All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Heworth Christ Church PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The full PCC has moved from meeting 6 times per year to ten times, from October 2021. ## **Objectives and Activities** The Parish of Heworth Christ Church has the following **Mission Statement:** At Christ Church our hope is to see The Kingdom of God grow in our communities through Worship, Prayer, Lifestyle and Outreach. ## **Vision Statement:** A Healthy Church - A Growing Church The Parochial Church Council has established an ongoing review of its services and the ways we seek to live out the aspirations of the above Mission Statement. The members of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in “The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit” and have had regard to it in their administration of the PCC. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Church attendance** There are 91 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. There are several people who are ineligible to be on the Electoral Roll (e.g. Clergy) and others who wish to remain part of the Church family although unable to worship here on a regular basis due to illness or other circumstances. Our services have resumed following the removal of Covid restrictions. We hold a Sunday morning service every week and have recently introduced an evening service on one Sunday each month. 3 HEWORTH CHRIST CHURCH | STOCKTON IANE I YORK | Y031 IJG Vicarfs Report 2022 The yvdr began on a personal nore with Me festing posiove for Covid-19. and ir hit me hird, ￿kIng me tsut completety for over a week. Like so many others, it took quite a long time to recover. 2nd after I came back'to work,, I tarried some of the symptoms. plus that general feeling of fatigue and •athy, for a good lew weeks sf not months. On my recum I was infomied that a pmcess ol'mediation. was about to bey'n which would subsequentty lead to a situation where I felt the need to make an appoincment with my doctor. Her medical assessment was that I needed to be t2ken off work for an initial perriod of eight weeks W*th'work related stress'.Towards the end of that time arbd on a follow up appointment. my doctor extended that leave of absence by a further eight weeks, and that period was subsequenty folbwed by a'pha5ed return to work, over a fvrther twelve weeks. During thi5 period of 24 weeks, at the APCM. new church Wdrdens were elected. and I wish to lorrnalty thank Mick Anderson and Gordon Reid for stepping up to the p051tion and role of warden at what had 10 be a quite difficulc lime. Nevertheless. step up they did. Ind I believe that, as a church, we owe a massive deb£ of graiitude to them.And not onty 10 them, but to a numb¢r of others who. in ry opinion and just like Mick 2nd Gordon, stepped up ro make sure that all that needed to happen DID happen. and all chai had £0 be take care ofWAS taken care Of.￿ well as che wardens.lane Kasiuk as PCC Secretary ha5 certainty given'above and beyond., and I think it'5 lair to say that ¢he PCC 35 3 unit have had some tricky waters ¢0 navig3te. My thank5, 35 vicar. them all. I'd also like to thank fomially those who ensured that Sunday morning worship continued in the period thac I was off.As well as the h￿ardens. chac includes Les Bingham lour Reader) and Rev. Gerald Hovenden, without whom we would have rvdlly struggled, I'm sure.Thanks too towards the end of the year to Keith Schooling who has committed to phy piano for us on a more regular basis as we go into 2023. For me the resc of the year from coming full time'back to work. was emotionalty challen&ng* and I'rn Sure that I'm not alone in thiLA r¥uThber of people have shown their care for me since rhen. and I'm immensety grateful to them for Iheir concern and support.Thank you - you know who you are. For any number of reason5 we ended the year with one or two financial toncern5 in terms of the projection of our levels of glving, our income from the hire of the building and the level of our annual giving to the dlocesan POLA5 Elme has gone on it has become clear Ihat this is going to be one of our blggest challenges in the coming months. There are rays of sunshine. rf we care to look for rhem, one of which is the Ny3y that rhe Coffee Shop has become $0 popular so many of our local community, and it'5 been heart wamiing to see 2 good number ol 'new' people 51iding into Sunday worship from time to vme.Thank5 to those who make this happen tothweek in. week out. so.we carry che p051tives for￿rdS, fulty expecting some challenging times ahead, bui hopefulty with a detemination to rety on God, look to jesus and welcome the Holy Spirit as we in￿te him to equip u5 for the coming year of worshiw love and Service. I The55aloni3ns 5.16-18. ## **Heworth Christ Church Parochial Church Council, Stockton Lane, York** ## **Financial Review** Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £51,730 and are detailed in the financial statements. The figure for 2021 was £71,650. Our regular income from planned giving fell from £59,560 to £40,024 as the numbers in our congregation declined, which also affected our Gift Aid income. We were pleased to welcome back our regular hirers once Covid restrictions were completely lifted, and our income for 2022 was £10,269. (A further £2927 was paid in after the year end, which will be included as 2023 Receipts.) The total for 2021 was £10,550. We spent £60,932 on our Christian ministry, against £76,054 last year. Our Freewill Offering to the Diocese, which is spent mainly on clergy stipends and housing, remained unchanged at £46,500 and the PCC were agreed that we should meet our pledge despite our reduced income. The FWO for 2023 has been reduced to £27,500. ## **Unrestricted Funds** Our carried forward balance from 31 December 2022 was £4,674 (2021: £13,841) ## **Designated Funds** Our Thanksgiving Fund was reduced from £21,742 at the end of 2021 to £13,610 at 31 December 2022. The Coffee Shop continues to be very popular, and the balance carried forward is £4,087. A donation of all their income from Lent, plus additional collections from was made to the DEC Ukraine appeal. ## **Restricted Funds** The Restricted Donations fund, consisting of a £1,500 grant plus additional donations has been used for building repairs and has been closed. Our Charity Fund, financed from 25% of our tithing, was used to add £1000 to collections made for DEC Ukraine, and an initial donation of £3,000 was made, £992.53 in Lent takings from the Coffee Shop, and further donations collected via the Agency. We provided a grant to Treasure Chest to assist them in setting up a group on our premises. The two volunteers we were supporting in Brazil have come to the end of their time there, and the Restricted Donations fund for them has been closed. ## **Tithing** Our Tithe of £4000 will be shared between The Kabanda Trust, The Besom (York), Christians Against Poverty our own Charity fund. We have changed the basis of our tithing for 2023 which will in future take into account our offerings and not our general income. ## **Major expenditure** Works on the tower and belfry were completed and number of building maintenance works were carried out. We also purchased a Defibrillator, the cost of which was largely covered by voluntary donations from Church groups and hirers using our premises. ## **Balance sheet** Our bank balances at 31[st] December 2022 were £23,164 (2021: £45,385) Our CBF Investment fund Shares were valued at £17,032, (2021 £19,294.03) against the original cost of £10,361. 5 Reserves Our policy is to aim to maintain a cash balance equivalent to two months expenditure. Our monthly outgoings have been reduced by the reduction of our Freewill Offering to the Diocese. which is now £2291 pcm. Our general costs are £20,422 which means that there will be a shortfall in available funds and we will continue to use some of the money from the Thanksgiving fund where necessary. Acknowledgements The PCC is most grateful to Mr David Fletcher for his advice and assistance in examining the final accounts. Approved by the PCC and signed on their behalf by Signe Reverend Paul E Deo (PCC Chair) Date I Independent Examlner's Report to the charlty of Heworth Chrlst Church PCC I report on the financial slatements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages8 to 12 R￿Pective responslbllltles of trustees and examlner The charity'g trustees are iesponsit>le for the preparation of the ffinancial staternents. The ohanty's trustees consider that an audit is not requireil for this year under section 144{21 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to." examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act- follow the Procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissi¢Jn under section 145{5llb} of the 2011 Act- and state whether paitycular matters have come to my attention. Basts of independent examlner's report My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the general Directions given by the Chaiity Commission. An examination inclL¢des a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial stalements presenled wilh those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements. and seeking explanations from you 8$ trustee conceming 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 financial statements 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 examinats'on, no matter has come to my attention.. 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect the requirements". - lo keep accounting ￿COrdS in accordan￿ with seclion 130 of the 2011 Act., and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounb'ng records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

These 825 units had a market value** **at the 31 December 2022 of £17,032.87 (2021: £19,294.03) meaning there was an unrealised gain over the original cost of £10,361 at 31 December 2022 of £6,671.87 (2021: £8,933.03). For information the units having reduced in value by £2,261.16 in 2022 (2021:increased £2,392.01).In 2022 the income paid on the units was £506.96 (2021: £490.30).** **Although the units are readily realisable their value varies with investment market conditions and could go down** **in value as well as increase. The PCC has therefore resolved to treat their total value of the units as a designated fund and keep their ongoing value apart from the general fund .This enables the PCC to be aware of cash balances available for spending on routine daily expenditure made from its general fund.** ## **Notes to 2022 Financial Statements** ## **1) Receipts-Voluntary Giving** _Change in accounting policy to receipts and payments basis_ _See note above showing effect of this for 2022 monies received 2023 not included in 2022_ |Gift Aid to Bank
