## **AIMS AND ORGANISATION**
The object of the PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Great Ayton with Easby is to further 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 the PCC ‘is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical’.
To enable the efficient discharge of its duties, the PCC has delegated various responsibilities to committees:
**All Saints Committee** – the maintenance of the former 12[th] Century Parish Church
**Fabric Committee** – overseeing day to day maintenance and major projects for Christ Church, chaired by the Churchwardens
**Church Hall Committee –** to manage and promote the use of the Hall for the benefit of the Church and the community of Great Ayton
**Standing Committee** – organizing PCC business and dealing with day to day and urgent matters. **Staff Meeting** – a bi-monthly meeting of staff and Churchwardens to review worship and events. **Child Protection Officer** – reports regularly to the PCC and monitors groups and practices.
The PCC is a body corporate; the composition and procedure is regulated by the church representation rules as contained in schedule 3 of the synodical government measure (as amended), the Councils (powers) Measure 1956, as amended by the 1969 Measure. Elections to the PCC are held annually. All members of the Church Electoral Roll are entitled to vote and stand for election; there is also provision for the co-option of members of the PCC and the incumbent is ex-officio a member and the Chairman.
The PCC has had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The Parish continued to thrive during 2024 with faithful worshipping communities offering prayer and praise to God, and strong pastoral links to the wider village community as we strived to “Live Christ’s Story”. The important part the Church plays in the village was evidenced by the large number of funerals, weddings and baptisms conducted and by the results of a Parish Gift Day which raised over £20,000. Our vicar of 31 years, Rev Canon Paul Peverell, retired in October and the Parish is now in vacancy. While a new vicar is sought, the Parish is being ably served and led by a team of lay and clerical staff. A recently modernised four-bedroom house has been acquired by the diocese to serve as the vicarage for the new incumbent once they are appointed.
**Worship:** Sunday Worship continued to be the mainstay of Church life. Café Church grew strongly with families and young people and we brought in additional support to help in teaching the children. Morning attendances at our more traditional services remained similar to the previous year and the main 9:15 Parish Communion was streamed on Zoom and Facebook, attracting a substantial following both live and watching the recordings. Worship continued to be enhanced by our excellent choir. The daily live-streamed Prayer for the Day which started during the Pandemic had clockedup over 1000 episodes by October when it was suspended because of the Vicar’s retirement.
Easter and Christmas services were well supported with over a 1000 attendances at our Carol Services and Christmas Eve & Day Services over the Christmas period.
Our 12[th] century church, All Saints, was the summer venue for weekly communion and monthly Sunday evening Taize worship. It was also the focus for our worship and witness during the “Thy Kingdom Come” season.
In addition to the regular worship, special services during the year included quarterly Church Parades, a very well attended Remembrance Sunday, the Captain Cook Commemoration attended by the Mayors of North Yorkshire and Whitby and the Leader of the Parish Council, and a leaving service for the retiring Vicar and his wife for which Christ Church was packed.
As in previous years, the Parish staff also supported other Parishes throughout the Deanery and in Middlesbrough.
**Study Groups:** Our various study groups continued to meet throughout the year and topics included “The Book of Acts”, “Jesus’ Miraculous Signs”, “The Psalms” and studying the opening of Jesus’ ministry using the TV series, “The Chosen”. Additionally we shared in a Lent Course with the other Churches in the village.
**Pastoral Care:** In addition to the work of our licensed ministers, our Pastoral Visiting Group visited the housebound on a regular basis, and we also gathered many older people together for monthly afternoon services.
**Community Involvement:** Many of our Church members played an active role volunteering in various groups in our village as well as a charity, Genesis, based in Middlesbrough. We supported the Foodbank in Middlesbrough with monthly collections of food. The Church also supported financially many local and national causes. The Church’s monthly magazine, Spire, enjoyed a wide circulation amongst the community; publication was suspended at least temporarily with the retirement of the Vicar, but it was replaced by a newsletter.
The churches and the Parochial Hall continued to be well used for community activities, events and concerts.
**Occasional Offices:** The Parish still had many Occasional Offices – Baptisms (15), Weddings (5) and Funerals (42)
**Church School:** The Church enjoyed close links with Marwood Church of England Infant School and Roseberry Academy in the village. The Vicar visited the former on a weekly basis with the school coming into church each half term for Festivals or an assembly also attended by parents and family. The Vicar also led collective worship at the Academy and half termly at a nearby church school. After the Vicar’s retirement, this school engagement was continued by two members of the PCC.
**Safeguarding** : PCC members, staff and volunteers received regular safeguarding training and safeguarding continued to have a high profile. We are blessed with a most diligent Safeguarding Officer. There were no safeguarding instances to report in 2024.
**Maintenance:** The Church continued to be well maintained, cleaned and decorated and remained open each day for visitors and private prayer. It is well used

## **REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND AFFAIRS**
2024 proved to be a momentous year in many ways. After 31 years as our Vicar, Paul Peverell finally retired in November. At a packed farewell service he and Karen were presented with a number of gifts and a sizeable cheque in grateful thanks for the wonderful service they had both rendered to the people of Great Ayton. Before he left, Paul organised a Gift Day round the village which was enormously successful raising over £20,000 to be split between Christ Church and All Saints. A designated fund was opened to preserve funds for the repair of the church spire, to develop an enhanced audio-visual system for streaming services and to develop a plan to encourage more young people to participate in church life.
Otherwise 2024 saw only a modest increase in the number of churchgoers and this had a corresponding effect on church finances with the number of regular planned givers falling from 146 to 140. As a result, planned giving fell from £81,853 in 2023 to £80,406 in 2024. The general level of donations remained similar to last year thanks to two legacies totalling £2000. On a positive note, Marion Maidment again ran a very successful quiz which, added to a matching grant from a local bank, contributed £1,300 to church funds. Overall, our unrestricted income rose from £127,884 last year to £130,870 this year compared to the budget of £131,000.
The Freewill Offer to the Diocese was increased slightly to £93,000 but our mission giving from general funds was reduced to £5,000. As we entered a period of vacancy in October, clergy and vicarage operating costs fell but increases in utility costs, insurance and staffing costs resulted in an increase in unrestricted expenditure from £133,937 to £139,194 compared to the previous year. Our energy supplier, SSE, installed a smart meter in April but continuous problems have been experienced with SSE’s ability to provide up-to-date consumption figures and invoices. The matter has now been escalated to SSE senior management’.
Overall, the Church incurred a deficit of £8,324 on unrestricted funds for the year compared to a budgeted deficit of £4,000.
We ran one major appeal during the year, at Christmas, choosing “Embrace the Middle East” as the beneficiary in recognition of the huge humanitarian need from the war in Gaza and Lebanon. The carol service in All Saints was again “standing room only” but the other services failed to generate the level of donations we have seen in previous years. A total of £1,632 was raised which nevertheless was warmly welcomed by the charity. Also at Christmas, we ran a customary “Memory Tree” with donations in memory of loved ones being directed towards Herriot Hospice Homecare
From our general funds we made donations to six worthy Christian charities both locally and nationally. Including collections taken at weddings, funerals, baptisms and appeals a total of £23,160 was distributed to 43 different charitable causes during the year
All Saints church again opened as normal for visitors during the year. The highlight of the year was a repeat concert by classical guitarist Jonathan Parkin which raised over £580 for church funds. The successful outcome of the Gift Day generated nearly £10,000 for All Saints which will enable a number of repairs and minor restoration work to be carried out as identified in the Quinquennial Inspection
The Church Hall had another excellent year with regular user groups and many new users contributing to a 16% increase in income to £17,001. Grants from Impetus Environmental Trust and the Jack Brunton Trust enabled the hall to install solar panels and battery storage and also to resurface the floor which was much appreciated by the sports groups using the hall. A comfortable bank balance of £3,968 was maintained at the year end.
Once again, a huge thanks to - John & Ynez Clarke, Helen Dickinson, Jean Goat, Robin Harmar and the sides people for their hard work and support to enable our finances to be maintained in good order.
