Review of the Year .

The PCC met via Zoom on eight occasions, and one live meeting, average attendance 65%. The Church Hall became unfit to use, and the PCC agreed to close it in March, 2021. Unfortunately, we were unable to pay the Parish Share of £20,927.00 in full.

There was also discussion as to how we could become a dementia friendly parish.

Much of the PCC’s time was devoted to deciding how to respond and react to local and national guidelines regarding Covid. The Offertory collection and procession with the elements were suspended and the congregation was offered the Holy Sacrament in one kind only. Various other minor positional adjustments were made to facilitate Zoom participation.

Our first live services began on Mothering Sunday, with 28 people. Sunday Masses have continued, live and on Zoom. Over 100 people, including the Scout Groups, attended the Remembrance Sunday Mass and the Christingle Service. The Christmas Eve ‘First Mass of Christmas’ at 8pm attracted 48 people, this was not available via Zoom. During the lockdowns there has been a virtual Coffee morning on Thursdays. Thanks to Mr. J. Kaye we had a number of very enjoyable Friday night quiz nights.

The church also hosted and participated in Armley Festival’s Christmas Market at the beginning of December.

A new audio-visual streaming system was installed into church at the end of the year. It was not fully utilised until the New Year. A faculty is required from the Diocese to make its installation permanent.

Financial Review

Even though ‘live’ church services recommenced in the Spring of 2021, Covid still had a marked influence during 2021.

Overall receipts were similar to the previous year, even though sources differed. Increased One Lottery receipts and church lets, along with Bingo income (from 2020) led to a marked increase in unrestricted funds from fundraising activities, but this was counterbalanced by a loss of restricted receipts from sales of organ samples.

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £38,487, of which £27,457 was unrestricted voluntary donations, including the tax recovered on Gift Aid donations and on donations received under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. Restricted donations of £6,900 were also received and are detailed in the financial statements.

The church joined the Parish Giving Scheme in April 2021. At present, we have eight regular contributors whose donations help guarantee the church a regular and consistent income, as well as help reduce the workload on the Treasurer.

St. Bart’s Bingo Fund was permanently closed on 24[th] . August 2021.

Total payments were up by nearly 25%, mainly due to an increased Share contribution and enlarged spending on church running expenses and repairs.

£38,554 was spent from unrestricted funds to provide the Christian ministry from St. Bartholomew’s with St. Mary of Bethany Church, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. Every year, we contribute as much as we

are able to afford towards parish share, but invariably, are unable to meet the full requested amount. Our contribution in 2021 was £10,000; a shortfall of £10,927.

The net result for the year was a decrease of £892 on unrestricted funds. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31[st] . December on unrestricted funds totalled £2,721.

Reserves policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds that equates to at least three months’ unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £9,600. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The cash balance of £2,721 held in unrestricted funds at the year-end clearly does not meet this target.

The cash balance of £13,930 in restricted funds is retained towards meeting the cost of repairs, maintenance and upkeep of the Schulze organ, sanctuary floor mosaics, external west wall crucifix, church lighting and general church fabric; church flowers and the award of discretionary grants.

It is our policy to invest investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.
