Achievements and Performance
Review of the Year
St Clement's P.C.C. met 6 times wrth an average attendance of 87%. We started 2022 wth high numbers of CO￿7d
cases in the community but this soon settled down and Covid restrictions wwe eased. Throughout the year we were
able to again include in our calendar most of the events and service5 that had been limited or cancelled in recent
years. We continued to ¢*¢h up with the maintenance issues which had built up while the church was closed during
lockdowns. We have greatly improved the north aisle as an area for comrnurnty use by removing the old carpet which
wa5 a trip hazard and moving some pew5 10 in¢￿8$e the usable space. We are also now an official warm hub on
three momings a week. ExEerior protection was frtted lo the east window. Many maintenance concerns remain, some
of which require considerable sums of money to resolve. The wesl window aL50 requires protection, the final section of
the roof is still to be renewed and the rose wndow and one of the north aisle windows require urgent repairs.
Meanwhile discussions contin
ue on how lo improve our krtchen and toilet lacilth"es.
We are still in interregnum. It has now been agreed that we wll share an incumbent wrth Sl Mary'5 D8vyhulrne on a
50150 basis. Arrangements are in Progress to recruit the right person for this vacancy. Once this post is filled the joint
benefice of Christ Church Dawyhulme and St Clemenl Urm5ton will be ended.
Financial Review
Total receipts for 2022 were £79,210- much higher than 2021's £54,950. Pawnenls of course were aL80 higher.
reflecting our greater activty as the Covid pandemic receded.. £77.816 instead of 2021's £64.858. We made 3 small
surplus but this was largely at the expense of our contribution to the dI￿es8n budget through Parish Share. We paid
considerably more than in 2021 bul still only 66.kn of the conlribukn'on requested. Parish Share monies are mainly used
lo pay slipendiary priests. If we are to succeed in attracting a new priest-in£harge to St Clement's. we have to support
the Diocese in finding the money to pay a stipend.
The churchwardens and the treasurer are exarnining a number of costs where we think we can negotiate new and
cheaper conlraets. We also need to increase income from 855ets such as the curacy house, and through donab'ons to
our churches, especially where we can claim 'Gift Aid" refund5.
We are very grateful to all those farthful members of our congregaborts who already support U5 through regular giving,
whether in money OT lime, prizes for raffles or biscuits for lea break5 and coffee mornings. And we are particularly
appreciative of the wise counsd provided by John Holdsworth. our Independent ex3niner.
The Year Ahead
We end the year with optimism that we will finally have an incumbent in 2023. We rely on the gO￿wIll of volunteers to
maintsin our mission and ministry. Our seNices could not go ahead without the assistan￿ of retired priests Revd
Cath Faulkner and Revd Bryan Corke. and of our authorised lay minister Daniel Melbr. Our mission lo the communty
has increased since Comd thanks to the work of a large number of vdunteers who are on hand to welccme people
and provide copious refreshments, as well as keeping the church in good order. We plan lo continue to reach out to
the community and PTovide a safe, wam place where all in need can find fellowship and support.
Structure, Govemance and Management
The method of appoinlmènl of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. Atl Church
attendees are encouraged lo register on the Electoral Rdl and stand for election to the PCC. From b.me lo tsme
member5 of the PCC attend training events relevant to their duties organised by the Diocese of
