## Annual report of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) for the year ending 

## 31st December 2023 

The principal function of the PCC is “to promote, in the parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical.” The PCC members are also Trustees, and, therefore, stewards both of the mission and the resources of the Church, ensuring that it is solvent, well-run and delivering its charitable outcomes. In addition, the PCC is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Church Centre. 

|Centre.||
|---|---|
|PCC members were:||
|Vicar|Revd. Canon Gillian Rossiter|
|Readers|David Moss|
||Lesley Young|
|Churchwardens|Adele Sedgwick|
||Martin Hodson|
|Representatives on|Lesley Young|
|Deanery Synod|Claire Barnard, Daniel Branch, Eunice Moss|
||Sheena Wilson|
|Pastoral Worker|Chris Branch|
||Andy Liston (from October)|
||Alex Calvert (from October)|
|Elected members|Steve Austin (Treasurer)|
||Gill Childs|
||Rowan Connell|
||Sue Dutton (Secretary)|
||Jean Hodgson|
||Hazel Moon|
||Clare O’Connell|
||Steve Symes (Assistant Treasurer)|



The PCC met on six occasions in 2023, only once having to resort to a virtual meeting while the Standing Committee met together on five occasions. 

Although all coronavirus guidance had eased we continued to air on the side of caution due to the increasing numbers of covid and flu. The PCC monitored this decision throughout the year and from May it was agreed that masks were no longer 



required, and the chalice was reintroduced for dipping of wafers. We continue to offer hand gel before communion and have not yet reinstated the use of the shared chalice. 

The finances of the church are a constant worry especially this year with increased costs of energy and the work we are about to start on the East Wall. Our Parish Share increases annually, this year being more than £87,600. It is always hoped that Planned Giving will provide the resources to cover this as any shortfall means dipping  into our reserves. Despite  the ever-increasing  costs of energy and  the ongoing running of the church, St John’s is probably in a better financial position than many churches and we are thankful for the incredibly support we receive from so many people not just our church members, but also the wider community. 

St John’s continues to grow as the heart of the local community, together with links with the neighbouring churches of St Catherine’s, St Andrew’s, and St Hildeburgh’s and of course St Chad’s in Leasowe. 

Members of the local community who are not members of our church community have continued to help with the making and delivering of soup and sandwiches to the housebound, joined in church activities, donated, and washed and ironed clothes for the Swop Shop at St Chads, donated pyjamas at Christmas, together with financial contributions  to  the  causes  we  support.  We  are  extremely  thankful  for  all  this support. 

All our volunteers were invited to our Coronation lunch in May, a perfect example of ‘Everyday  Faith’  being  extended  beyond  our  church  into  the  community,  and everyone enjoyed being in the fellowship of the church. 

Links with Great Meol’s Primary have also continued, and the children have enjoyed Easter and Christmas Experiences organised by our church volunteers together with Harvest Festival and Christmas Concerts organised by school in church. They joined with the Community Choir in October for their annual concert raising £600 for the Air Ambulance.  Pupils  who  are  School  Ambassadors  have  visited  to  see  how  we organise our Soup& Sandwich deliveries and will be coming back again to actually pack the bags and deliver them. 

Children have also enjoyed an evening of Pancake Fun on Shrove Tuesday, a Childrens Coronation Event, Messy Church, a week-long Holiday Club, and a Youth weekend, sleeping over in the church. 

Numbers attending our Monday Café and Young at Heart group continue to increase both offering food, friendship and a ’Warm Space’. The Café has hosted several special events including a fund-raising Cake Sale, and a ‘Vision’ Café to share ideas on what we can do to engage more people with the church. The Men’s Breakfast was re-introduced in September and the ladies held a Curry Night 

The Meol’s Community Choir  performed a very moving Passion play on Palm Sunday and St Hildeburgh’s  hosted the Lent Lunches this year, while at St John’s we had an Easter Labyrinth: Journey to Jerusalem. 



Meetings with the architect and stone mason in March 2022 defined exactly what repair work was needed to the East wall but unfortunately gaining approval took so long that the PCC decided to postpone the work till Spring 2023. Steve Gee took over the overseeing of this project. By the time the formal contract had been agreed and signed the work eventually started in June. On the plus side this gave us more time to fund raise, however, it also meant an increase in cost as building materials continue to soar 

Our  thanks  to  Steve  Gee  for  monitoring  this  project  and  to  Steve  Symes  for overseeing all the other repairs and maintenance of the fabric of the church including the upgrading of our Router and Network in church which enabled us to introduce a Card Reader for on-line payments. 

Fund raising events to pay for the wall dominated the year including a Patronal Takeaway Tea, a Parish Barbecue in July, a Jigsaw Sale, Buy a Brick, and Martin and Natalie’s sponsored walk. 37  miles round  perimeter of the Wirral peninsular, a staggering 77,748 steps, all in one day! They were joined on the day by Rowan (dressed as the Church Wall), Sarah and the O’Connell family and more than £2,300 was raised by them all. 

Other fundraising has continued and throughout the year we have been able to support Tanzanian Church (£600), SAT-7 (£600), the Bible Society (£500)) and Childrens Society (£600). Carols on the Green raised £250 for MIND, £600 was raised for the Air Ambulance, £1,485 for KIDS CONNECT and £300 towards the earthquake appeal. 

At our APCM in May Tim Smith stepped down as Church Warden and we welcomed Martin Hodgson to succeed him and to support Adele. Tim was thanked for his hard work and dealing with the ever-changing rules of Covid to keep us all safe within the church environment. In June we said goodbye to our curate Reverend Francis as she completed her training and moved on to pastures new. Then in October we were pleased to welcome both Andy Liston and Alex Calvert to our Pastoral team and celebrated their licensing with a Bring and Share lunch. 

2023 continued to provide challenges for everybody at St John’s but it is thanks to Rev Gillian’s leadership, with the support of the Ministry team, the Wardens, Adele and  Martin,  the  PCC,  and  the  army  of  ready  volunteers  that  we  continue  to strengthen  our  church  community  at  St  John’s  and  its  impact  on  our  wider community by being a ‘Place of Welcome’ and sanctuary.

It is my responsibilty to:

Basls of independent My examination was carrÉed (xrt in accordance with general Directions given
examlnerfs statsment by the Chanty Commission. An examination indudes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented wtth those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual
items or disdosures in the ￿COUnts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees conceming any such matters. The prccedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a Irue

Respective The chanty's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the a￿[rts.
responsibilitias of The charily's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
trustaes and e"
under section 144 of the Chafities Act 2011 (the Chanties Act) and that an
+xaminer independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilty to:
examine the a￿untS under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission {under section 145{5)(b) of the Charriies Act, and
to slate whether particular matter5 have o)me to my attention.
Basls of independent My examination was carrÉed (xrt in accordance with general Directions given
examlnerfs statsment by the Chanty Commission. An examination indudes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented wtth those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual
items or disdosures in the ￿COUnts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees conceming any such matters. The prccedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a Irue
and fairf wew and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement beli￿.
Independent In connection with my examination, rN) matter has ￿me to my attention
examiner's statement
1. which gives me reasonab￿ cause to believe that in, any materi81 resFe¢t,
the requirements:
to keep accounb.ng r￿rdS in accordan￿ with section 130 of the
Charities Act,. and
to prepare accounts which actsjrd with the accounting records and
comply with the ￿)Unting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met., or
2. to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable
proper understsnding of the xcounts to be reached.
