The worshipping community is made up of ( I I l adults and 21 children) Easter attenders 94 and Christmas attender5 59, this doe5 not include attenders at the two crib services as they are none eucharistic. PCC REVIEW OF THE YEAR: There have been six meeting5 since the last report. All meetings openin8 with prayer and the meeting agenda must include finance and safeguarding. The first meeting following the APCM is to appoint officers, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Electoral Roll Officer and Safeguarding Officer. Groups and their leaders are established. Daniel continues to be chair with Irene Parker Vice Chair, Ann Hemsworth Secretary, lain Packman Treasurer and Electoral Roll Officer, Barbara Dunkley Safeguarding Officer, and Leanne P2ckm2n and Irene Parker Church Wardens. Irene will complete her term in 2025, 2nd a replacement will be elected and appointsd. This first meeting also adopted the Safeguarding policy setting out dates when training can take place, Ind it was agreed thit the PCC meeting would meet in the first week of the month usually on i Wednesdiy. Very soon new Architects were appointed Tom Crooks who will have responsibility for quinquennial requirements and Keith Andrews from Leeds Beckett University who together with students will deal with other needs which arise. The PCC having agreed this the Diocese was informed. An opportunity arose for us to acquire 46 chairs at a very reasonable price, so some of the old wooden one5 were 501d and the chairs purchased for use in the Lady Chapel. Other chairs to be replaced later in the year. A Start Course wa5 organised with plans for a Moving On Course to follow. PCC members were informed that 2025 would be a full review of the Electoral Roll. That is that everyone would need to apply again to be on the roll. Early in the year a Leading Your Church into Growth day course wa5 organised which the PCC members attended and at different times four people from the Parish have attended a full LYCIG course. A wellsprings Together Parish Community Audit was conducted. It is a fact that almost all the time our essential expenditure exceeds our income, around this time the reason identified was less funerals and less hall bookings. Thankfully circumstances have changed and with gift aid being claimed we are managing, people paying directly into the bank is very helpful for budgeting, but our Treasurer is always pleased to receive donations. During 2024 there was no Confirmation but three people from church were admitted to Communion and three who regu12rly attend school services were also admitted. The food pantry have increased their donation towards the electricity used by the fridges and all h211 users received a letter indicating an increase in hiring fee. The increase has not resulted in less bookings.
Around this time work was done on the slabs to the lytch gate and at the same time the step wa5 removed making acce55 into the church yard easier for the disabled and the funeral directors. Susan Wanty resigned as organist and appreciation was expressed to her. the meantime, David Burton continues to play on the first Sunday of the month and Helen Wright on the second. CDS or Ising are used for the third and fourth Sundays. At almost every meeting Barbara shares with u5 essential safeguarding updating and encourages and ensures that 211, PCC members or otherwise are uptodate with training. Risk assessments for all, including hall users are always monitored. Questions had been asked about where confident121 papers were stored and assurance was given that 311 confidential matters are locked aw2y in the locked room in the parish ofpice, the key being held by Daniel, Barbara and Ann. Attention was drawn to the PCC thit on the days the food pantry is open there is sometimes a problem with parking, it was agreed that the School would be appr02ched and the leader of the food pantry. Suggestions were made 2nd space has been made 2V2i12ble it the vic2r2ge for up to seven cars to be parked there on 3 Thursday and Friday, this will free up some Spaces in the car park. The pantry Users being asked to be considerate. Some work was needed to the hall lighting and this was attended to. On the third Saturday of each month a social event Is organised. All these events are free, and a donation requested on the night. It Is good to report that this has not affected finance previously collected, and there is a slight increase in number5 attending. To encourage attendance both at religious and secular events a "What's on" leaflet was prepared over 2000 copies printed and distributed. A decision was made to establish a "Warm Welcome space on a Thursday afternoon, this enables those coming to use the Food Pantry to have somewhere inside to wai( and church members to share some hospitality and light refreshments. This is much appreciated, and donations are received, and we have been pleased on a couple of times to welcome new worshipers. Lent lunches are to move to Thursday to save the church being heated on different days. Three members of the congregation were registered on a Lay Worship Leader course, and we look forward to receiving their ministry at the appropriate time. Emphasis is always on Church Growth, ways of establishing this are warm welcomes, efficient service and always as much information as possible to enable people to get to know us better. To this end, leaflets have been produced, 2prons 2nd T shirts purchased, many posters produced with useful information on. 3 stand for informition leaflets. 2 box for prayers to be put in and always bright and welcoming displays. The cost of some items purchased has been met by donations. Notices have been displayed in the church yard to remind people that it is illegal to place sentimental objects on graves and reminding those passing through to clean up after their dog. So many of the successes and developments are due to many. many voluntary hours given by many people, and much work done 15 not known about nor who doe5 IL Thank you to all who give of their time and talen( especially Lisa, Leanne and lain. A5 previously mentioned, Irene Parker will be standing down a5 Church Warden and we must say a very big THANK YOU to Irene, no one has any idea of the hours she puts into being Church Warden, the
hours she spends on the pastoral care of the parishioners and the time she spends taking bookings for the hall, opening and closing ensuring essential equipment is always available. Please get in touch with Leanne if you feel you could offer any help with the hall. In the meantime, we thank God that we are blest with a beautiful church building which we can enjoy both spiritually and socially. ANN HEMSWORTH THE TREASURERS REPORT Accounts are attached for 2024 (see appendix} which again has been a challenging year balancing expenditure with our income. Our income exceeds our expenditure for the year however we had a large cleaning bill outstanding in December 2024 which left us with a small surplus. Our energy contacts which have been in place for the past three years end in the autumn of 2025 when we expect to be hit with large increases. We have again increased our Parish share payment to achieve 8 Iyts of the request but still have a long way to go to pay the full amount requested by the Diocese. We start 2025 with a positive bank balance and thank everyone who contributes to the running our Church. We continue to pray that our income will meet our expenditure over the forthcoming year. IAIN PACKMAN OTHER LEGAL REQUIRED REPORTS FOR THE AGM FROM THE CHURCH WARDENS: Following the APCM in 2024 the Churchwardens Irene Parker and Leanne Packnian were appointed to serve. Both support Reverend Daniel in his mission in the Parish and his continued dedication to encourage spiritual growth 2mongst the congregation and in the wider community. Members of the Pastor21 team, led by Irene, meet every 2 months. There are I I church members who receive communion it home with Reverend Daniel tiking communion on alternate months. Visits a150 take place to those in care homes. The hospital chaplaincy team is asked to visit those in hospital. At the meeting5 there are updates on any concern5 and on those in the congregation who haven't been seen for a while. All discussions that take place are confidential. Much of the pastoral care 15 undertaken in the Church, by those who visit and support friends. Safeguarding and risk a55e55ments have been discussed at length and changes are in place following these discussions. All visits will be recorded on Church suite parish records for security and record keeping. Repairs to the lightning conductor were done in Jan 2024, the costs being covered by a grant from the Diocese, and P2ss certificate issued. The vestry toilet fan was replaced after it was highlighted in the electrical report in September 2023 that it was not working. In February 2024 new ch21rs were purchased to be used in the Lady Chapel, and these were p2rt1y funded by sale of 100 of the old chairs. The boiler in the west end of Church which supplies the kitchen and toilets was serviced and 2 small gas leak under the sink was repaired. The main boiler 2nd fans were also serviced with no issues reported. The parish qualified for an energy audit as part of the Church of England Net Zero 2030 target and the report was received in November. PAT
testing highlighted no i55ues, and the fire extinguishers were serviced with replacements done a5 needed. The organ service again highlighted the need to replace the humidifier at some point. Grants have been searched for, but the organ is only in use once a month for services and occasional events and there is no regular choir, which restricts applications for funding. The footpath from the Lychgate was lifted and re-laid using the existing flags and permission was granted on a List B F2culty to remove the step during these works so that the path from the public highway provided level access to church along the main path. This has been received well by those who found difficulty with the step and provides safer access for funeral directors. The churchyard has been maintained by volunteers to whom we are indebted as they give up their time to do this whatever the weather. The community payback team have not been attendingthis ye2r. Permission was granted to remove the cherry tree on the northern border that had been highlighted in the tree survey and has been replaced with a new cherry tree with Support from the family of a parishioner. A new architect ha5 been appointed. Mr Tom Crook5 will undertake the next Quinquennial report in spring 2025. The Church and hall have also been used as project work for Leeds Beckett University students through the Wellsprings Project for the East Leed5 Revival Project along with St Agnes, Harehills and St Richard's at Seacroft and their work will be exhibited at some point in 2025. Church was used for the Music festival in July and Leeds Male Voice choir held a concert in September and the Garforth Choirs in December, raising funds for Macmillan cancer charity. The Christmas Fayre was also held in Church this year to allow use of the hall for other bookings and to combine it with the tree festival. Irene and Leanne wish to thank all those who contribute to the running of Church and the jobs they undertake often without others being aware the jobs have been done. For 211 those who also support the mission of the Church and pastoral care of our community we are also grateful. IRENE PARKER AND LEANNE PACKMAN EAST LEEDS DEANERY SYNOD All meetings are chaired by the Area Dean, during the past year the Revd. Bob Bailey has been appointed Assistant Area Dean and the opening worship at most meetings is led by Bob who with his guitar enables a good sing to be had. Generally, there is an outside speaker, and these have included Bishop Arun, Canon Paul Maybury, The Revd. Jude Smith and the Diocesan Stewardship Adviser. A new constitution has been instigated and most churches in the Deanery are represented. It is a good opportunity to meet with representatives from other churches in the Area and St James is well represented by Daniel, Lis2, Lindsey and Ann. ANN HEMSWORTH CHURCHES TOGETHER IN EAST LEEDS: I continue to be Chair of the Churches Together in East Leeds but will be retiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Meetings have continued to take place several times during the year, at each of these meeting's attention is drawn to upcoming special events, both religious 2nd secu12r and all are asked to share the details with members of their congregation and encourage people to attend. During the year ecumenical events included a Songs of Pr2ise on Advent Sunday in St. James, we also
had a quiet daylretreat when the speaker shared with those present a book by Margaret Silf "All at Sea with God" and we joined together for the Ecumenical walk of witne55 on Good Friday. It is good to for all Christians in East Leed5 to come together. It has been good during the year to welcome several new Priests and Ministers to the area and to congratulate Father Pat from St. Theresas on becoming a Canon. It was a150 good to welcome Jack Carter to the area. Jack ha5 experience in planting churches and feels that God is calling him to plant a church somewhere in East Leeds. We hold him in pr2yer as he considers this work. Ann Hemsworth SAFEGUARDING: The role of the Parish Safeguarding Officer is primarily the safeguarding of the people of the parish, particularly children, young people and vulnerable adults and to be a link between the parish and the diocese. To do this the PCC continues to adopc display and gradually implement The House of Bishops, Safeguarding Policy, Promoting a Safer Church. One aspect of this is the checking of those with a position of responsibility within church which is important for the safeguarding of those they serve. This continued this year and both those on the PCC and in leading roles within church have been checked. Safeguarding training has continued over the year. including those of the b2SIC 2W2reness, foundation, awareness of domestic abuse, safer recruitment and people management pathway 2nd leadership pathway. All is completed, however, any new member to the PCC or roll will need to be DBS checked and undertake the appropriate safeguarding training. The training can be undertaken as a group and having found that thi5 worked well the offer is there for people to undertake their training in the year ahead in this w2y. The PCC has given permission for more non-church activities including Bethesda Apostolic Church, Japanese drumming and yoga. All the non-church groups have received the safeguarding addendum alongside their hire agreement. For church activitie5 Family worship has been added. This takes place on the first Wednesday of the month in the afternoon. At present the Drop in café is not currently active. review of various policies, including the code of safer working practice and the five Standards of safeguarding for our parish has taken place and points from these will be further looked at in the year ahead. These two policies are displayed in church and the parish hall for you to see. There are notes of who to contact if there is 2 safegu2rding matter, again in church and the parish hall and in the newsletter. Also notes of groups to contact can be found around includin8 the toilets. Safeguarding is everyone's business, and l thank all those who activety take part in safeguarding, including The Revd. Daniel. With thanks BARBARA DUNKLEY

CONCLUDING REPORT: The Chairman reported that this year's report would be shorter than previously and would include a video from + Nick setting out an explanation and circumstance5 concerning the share. Following is the report given by Daniel Miles the Priest in Charge. l. To be a parish that knows its identity and commits to the leading and direction of God. Last January we set our vision for the church. Serving our community in love. Jesus at the centre, Travelling on a journey of faith, Gifts nurtured and used, Making everyone welcome. From this and the job description for me developing action plan of which point one 15 develop a vision. This plan 15 ambitious but working together we are progressing well. We will continue to do 50 over the next 18 months. Will we achieve all the target5 by the end of September 2025 - probably not but we will be near enough there. If my licence get5 extended, we will take time to review and evaluate the targets and vision to discern if we continue as we are or set a new vision. 2. To be ambitlOU5 and plan for growth- Spiritually- becoming committed disciples of Jesus Change to the service rypes over a month to allow worship in different ways for a wider range of people to encounterjesus. Prayer Days- offering opportunities for us to g2ther as a community to bring before God the things that are happening and going to happen. Prayer cards for different seasons after sermon series on prayer. Daily Bible readings on the bookmarks and people are following this. 5 confirmation candidates and 3 first communion admissions Nehamiah sermon series which related the aspects of Nehamiah's life and cycle to our own church situation. Dangerous Worship sermon series- helping us to think about the reason why we gather to worship. b. Numerically- to see the kingdom of God and the church grow with people. Last year we had 21 baptisms - many families we continue to have worshipping with us at least once a month. We h2ve 2 worshipping community of 120 people which is growth of 40 people. This does not mean we see these people every week but over the course of a month we will see them. Not all of them attend on a Sund2y- we have people who worship with us 2t mid-
week communion and teddy praise. We are slowly seeing numbers increase on a Sunday too due to the different 5erYice types which are hopefully catering for as many people as Possible. 3. To be wise stewards of all resources People resources This is my point of saying thank you to everyone who helps this church community in acts of ministry. Whether that be physically helping in the kitchen, cleaning, office, welcoming, SeIng on a Sunday or Wednesday, PCC, fabric etc etc. If I have not mentioned your area, it is not because I haven't wanted to it is that we do so much that we would be here 211 day listing it all and probably still forget someone or something. We are very blessed in that we have volunteers 2 plenty- if we have wanted to do something we have always had people willing to step up. We all have our key administrative roles (PCC secretary, treasurer, safeguarding officer, church wardens) full. Where possible we offer support 2nd training for people 2nd if we can't offer it in house- we do point people to the diocese. b. Buildings 2s a resources Our buildings were very well used in 2023. Church was used for worship. school, 2nd concerts. The hall 12St yeir made 3 financi31 profit of around £3000 thanks to the hires. We put the price up in J2nuary last year and there was a worry that we would stop people from hiring but we did not see any difference. There was basic maintenance completed on both buildings over the year. Special thanks to Leanne for sorting out all the electrical surveys over this past year and generally making sure we are legally compliant in everything. This is no small job! c. Financial resources l am not going to labour the financial situation. We are doing ok and managing to pay our way with various things. You have seen the financial figures for the year in our report. Finances are never an overnight fix but like turning a container ship - one degree at a time, over a long period of time. As always, our biggest expense is the parish share. Last year we managed to pay 80°A of the share. The question I get asked all the time is.. why do we pay the share what actual benefit do we get from it! I guess the first thing I can answer about that is - you are looking at it! The reality is if the parish share does not get paid there is no money to pay the parish priests. There are various posters and leaflets explaining the share, which you received in February. But to illustrate it further here is a 3-minute video from Bishop Nick to explain. 4. To work with our brothers and sisters in all denominations Our work with Churches Together in East Leeds continues to grow. Along with Prayer for East Leeds group. Vve do need to continue to strengthen these links with other churches in our area- not just ecumenically but within the diocese.
We are part of the East Leeds Revival plan within the diocese. I can't say much more about that a5 there 15 Still work going on and in the discussion point. As and when I have more information to share about it I will. Which leads on to... 5. To prepare the church to give away our resources to see the kingdom of God grow in other areas of the Diocese of Leeds Identify people with a calling to go and plant or revitalise other communities (churches and location) b. Help fellow communities by giving away our best. Now we are not at a point of being able to send anyone from our worshipping community to go and plant churches elsewhere. But we can be praying for and supporting those who are going to be planting churches. In the next 18 months we will be looking a bit more at church p12nting and grafting. This will start init1211y within the PCC, but we will also be thinking about it as a church. This report concluded the Annual Parochial Church Meetingp and the Eucharistic Service continued.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Manston, Leeds (St. James the Great, Manston PCC) Registered Charity Number: 1131048
`Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these 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 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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Name: Angela J. Dodd
Address: 43 Manston Grove, Crossgates, Leeds, LS15 8BW
