The method of appointment of PCC rnembers is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Charitable Ob'ectives & Princi al Activities The primary objective of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC 'is to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pasÉoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical" The main activities of the church include regular public worship open to all, pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved, teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups, taking religious assemblies, the provision of youth work with a Christian ethos, promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings, the distribution of literature, promotion of the whole mission of the church through provision of activities for senior citizens, parents and toddlers and other marginalised groups such as the homeless, supporting other charities in the U.K. and overseas such as our mission partners, HAFWAY youth project, sponsoring children in developing countries etc. The trustees have referred to the information contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees believe that the activities carried out benefit the public by providing opportunities to meet as a community, to senie one another and to provide service and otherwise assist those individuals in need because of social exclusion, poverty, disability or lack of opportunity. Achievements & Performance Review of the year Our Bible verse (motto) for 2024. 2 Surely God is my salvation,. I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defence,. he has become my salvation., Isaiah 12.2 (NIV} Page 5 Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of West Bolton year ended 31 December 2024 How do we do this as part of the West Bolton Team? By being Good PALS. P - People of Prayer {including listening to God) A - Active in Agape Love L - Lifelong learners S- SeNing in our community Psalm 27 ends: 14 Wait for the Lord. be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Watch and pray has been part of what we have been about in the West Bolton Team as the process continues to appoint the next Team Rector. However, we have continued to live as PALS to pray, love, learn and serve. Worship and Prayer Our regular pattern of worship continued working together with SSMS, ALMS and visiting clergy, particularly the Archdeacon, Area Dean and other clergy from the Bolton Central Mission Community. We also offered support to St Margaret's Halliwell and to St stephen and All Martyrs, Little Lever. There were special events through the year and then a special thanksgiving for 150 years of worship and witness from St Luke's Church, Halliwell when Bishop Matthew of Bolton preached. Attendan￿ for online worship varied weekly but averaged 44 across the year The Electoral Roll of the Team (those who identify themselves with the worshipping community) for 2024 stood at 210 compared to 219 at the end of 2023. Fellowship, Nurture and Leadership Development Several house groups at St Luke's have remained active through the year and additional groups formed in Lent and Advent. Through Lent some groups explored More Than Sunday encouraging church members to see their daily activities as a central part of discipleship. In Advent groups listened to and discussed three sermons on 'Heaven' presented by Bishop Graham Dow. As well as the monthly evening worship in Kenyon Rise, St George's Church also set up a weekly prayer gathering there. A Start Course organised by Margaret Irwin was used to prepare two Iranian families for baptism and Fayaz Adman has continued to run online and in person discipleship and study groups for new arrivals and asylum seekers. There were baptisms across the team as well as several candidates committing themselves through Confirmation. The encouragement of church members to take up appropriate training and study outside of the local church continues to be a priority. Stephen Hamer was ordained in June and 7 ALMS were recommissioned to their various roles. Margaret Iwin undertook a placement in Prestwich through Lent and Easter and then gave her energy to pulling together 'history boards, for the 150th Anniversary. Page 6 Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of West Bolton year ended 31 December 2024 Mission and Outreach Mission and outreach continued to be a major feature of our life together, with different expressions in each of the five churches. Many of our weekly activities across the team are going from strength to strength -Tots and Co, midweek café, Knit and Natter, Book Club, Kenyon Rise services, Ha￿aY (continuing in the Community Centre until Parish Centre refurbishment is complete), ESOL, bible study, Weight and exercise and youth group to name a few. Connections with the Community Centre continues to provide opportunities for community connections, particularly with Halliwell Befriending Service and High Hopes for Halliwell-being joining in church events. Service For some church members this is primarily through their place of work. for others it is through voluntary service within and outside the church, e.g. as school governors. We continue to provide collective worship with an assembly team. There are initiatives within team such as ESOL classes at St Luke's as well as many partnerships with local charities and organisations, some are longstanding such as the ones at St Paul's with HBS, HHH and HAFWAY. The HAFWAY funding application to the government backed Youth Investment Fund was successful, and refurbishment of St Paul's Parish Centre for youth ministry continued through the year and will be completed early in 2025. The Parochial Church Council plays a vital role in our service, and here we need to note the willingness and flexibility with which our PCC members continued to adapt to the challenges before them, The able help of Team Administrator Claire Ree and Rev Michael Taylor, our PCC Secretary and Treasurer has made a huge difference to our continued healthy functioning. Buildings remain an important challenge with the need to repair then appropriately block up a vandalised window at St Luke's and the ongoing requirement for Quinquennial Inspections and more in-depth examination of leaking roofs and tile slippage at several churches. Thanks go to Ina Fletcher who retired from youth work at St George the Martyr after 48 years, to Marjorie Fletcher after 36 years playing the organ for St Paul's, to Rev Les Allmark who retired as SSM Associate Minister to the team and especially at St Luke and to Maureen Gowland who retired from financial data input. Safeguarding As the safeguarding officer for St Luke's left the area, Janet Whitehouse and Eirina Maginn offered to do the extra work between them. Any issues or concerns that have arisen have been dealt with promptly and passed to the safeguarding team at the Diocese. Any concerns need to be reported to either of these officers in the first instance. The team meet with clergy at least twice a year when they look at any prO￿dural updates. Everyone working with children or vulnerable adults must renew their DBS and complete training every three years, as do members of the PCC. Page 7 Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of West Bolton year ended 31 December 2024 The Church of England have produced an online dashboard, which enables us to record steps that have been achieved, and to see next targets in completing everything needed for safeguarding in the church. It prodU￿S an action plan for the next stages. Our plan is for all training to be completed for those who need it, also to ensure that safeguarding is clearly visible on the front page of the parish webstte. Future Developments Please pray for our parish representatives- Mandy Rushton, Colin Bagley and Janet Hardy who represent us in the process of appointing a new Team Rector and for Archdeacon Rachel and Bishop Matthew as they take the lead in the process, that together with parish patrons they may be guided to the right person. With the desire to grow younger the PCC have begun to consider the appointment of a youthlyoung family's worker. This is very much at the exploratory stage, Wars and rumours of wars continue to rumble and so our verse for 2025 reminds us: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5..9 Financial review Total income for the year was £206,513 [2023 £201,526] an increase of £4,987, mainly due to an increase in 'One-off Gift Aid,, see note 2a. Total Expenditure for the year was £222,335 [2023 £220,922] an increase of £1 ,413 Expenditure exceeded Income by £15,822 The Parish paid its Diocesan Parish Share of £76,443 despite the difficult economic climate. Fixed Asset Investments - shares valued at £10,000 were sold during the year, offset by an increase in market value of £10,495 at the yearend. Overall, there was a net reduction in funds of £5,327, compared with an increase of £14,347 in 2023. Risks The PCC is not aware of any major risks that have not been assessed and acted on. It is notified of any H&S issues which arise and deals with these promptly and efficiently. We are compliant with all the relevant requirements such as Health & Safety, employrnent law, charities act, child protection etc. and have policies and procedure in place for these. The buildings are in reasonable repair with some rninor repairs cropping up occasionally. Page 8 Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of West Bolton year ended 31 December 2024 Reserves Polic The PCC recognises the need for the Charity to establish and maintain reserves to enable it to continue to carry out its charitable objectives in the event of unforeseeable matters arising. Funds that are designated but not restricted are used in line with the purpose for which they were reserved. Any alternative use would be agreed by the PCC. Reserves brought into the charity from the separate churches have been treated as designated funds to enable a fair allocation of resources across the team. The PCC agreed the following Reserves policies at the meeting held in November 2016 Team General Fund It is the policy of this PCC to hold in reserve the equivalent of six months, general running costs and salary costs, which would be c£13,000. This amount should also cover any additional work required on the vicarages. The current level of team general funds is still below this level. Local Church General Funds It is the policy to build up and hold in general reserve the equivalent of three months, running costs for each church. In addition, any costs expected in the subsequent year for rnajor and minor works to be funded should also be held in reserve. The PCC requires monthly updates from the local sub-committee about the progress of the build-up of reserves. This policy will continue to be monitored and reviewed. The movement on reserves of the charity is detailed in note 10 to the financial statements. Statement of Trustees, res onsibilities Charity law applicable in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees have:_ selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently; observed the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,. made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent., stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,. and prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. Page 9 Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of West Bolton year ended 31 December 2024 The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
