The Annual Parochial Church Meeting 8[th] May 2022

Foreword to the Reports and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021
Last year, I began my report by saying that “in the reports and accounts that follow is a story of an unprecedented year”. That statement, it would turn out, would be as applicable to 2021 as 2020.
A second year of the Covid-19 Pandemic would mean further periods of significant restrictions, though this time without the suspension of public worship. Throughout that period, we took the view that we could continue public worship – even if at some points in early 2021, we were the only parish church open for ‘inperson’ worship in Harrogate.
Yet again, despite the privations and hardships, 2021 was in other ways a year of progress.
You’ll be unsurprised that the pandemic has continued to have an impact on our income, but which was less severe than the previous year. The Hall recovered usage pretty quickly through early 2021. Inevitably the bills still needed paying – especially heating the church, more on that shortly. The revenue deficit of 2020 of nearly £70,000 was, through careful management, reduced to under £30,000.
For us here, as with many of you, 2021 had also seen significant inflation, a ‘cost of living’ crisis begun and an explosion in the cost of Energy. Whilst that was only just beginning to be felt in 2021, the effects will very significantly be felt in 2022.
The work which has been put in by the whole team here over the last ten years in particular, has given us a financial framework which has so far survived an extraordinary ‘stress test’. The future does look hopeful. But, as ever, we need to exercise the budgetary restraint we’ve put in place. We will need to look again at levels of giving, and once more ask everyone to be as generous as they can.
There are though some who, much I’m sure to their embarrassment, I’d like to thank very much for their efforts.
Firstly, the wardens have once more been magnificent. As ever supportive, providing appropriate challenge and never flagging (well, hardly never) they have been a tremendous source of strength and encouragement.
Secondly, the staff: John who cleans the hall and office with grace and efficiency; Linda and Rebecca in the office (or more often as it’s turned out again, home working) keeping as much as possible going, even when furloughed. Their hard work has been much admired and appreciated. The same is true for Anthony, our Director of Music and to Peter Brand who joined us as Assistant Organist in the latter half of 2021. My thanks to them for their perseverance and to the choir in their work of providing music – especially when the congregation weren’t able to sing.
2
Lastly, my clerical colleagues. This has been another very different, and in many ways strange time to be a priest. They have been again unstinting in their support and advice – for which I am very grateful. It has been a joy and a delight to welcome Fr David Povall to the staff as an Assistant Curate. He has, perhaps of all the clergy, had the most peculiar of starts to ordained life – and we must remember he is still only in his first year as a priest, but he has already made an impact and we look forward to supporting him in the development of his priestly ministry.
To the congregation here, my thanks are also due. As with 2020, I have been moved by the extraordinarily kind and encouraging cards, notes and gifts. Thank you for continuing to ‘play ball’ with the inevitable restrictions that the law required – and more importantly, continuing the decent, moral Christian lives one always hopes people of with will live out at a time of crisis. As 2021 progressed, we have tried to re-establish something that feels more ‘normal’. I am hopeful that that journey will continue in 2022, even though clearly the pandemic has not quite finished with us, yet.
The first few months of 2022 have felt, at least to me, very much like a greater sense of normality is emerging. It certainly is beginning to feel very much more busy than it has for a while – and your patience whilst there is some inevitable ‘catch-up’ being played out is appreciated.
With that, there are those who, quite understandably, taking the opportunity to stand down from responsibilities. We thank them all for the contribution that they have made to our life here together. That includes some of the Young Wilfs leaders, who – now their children are no longer of school age – rightly think it’s time to let someone else have a go! I particularly want to thank them, and again, without wishing to cause embarrassment, to especially thank Nicky Whittaker for her leadership over, well, quite a few years.
What we’ve all learned, like it or not, over the last two years is that life is unpredictable. Faith provides for us an ‘anchor in the storms of life’. As we pick up the pace, may I encourage all of you to play your part, to volunteer when you can, to invite others to worship here, and to renew your commitment to worship and prayer. For it is together, as the people of God that we flourish or fail – each one of us has a part to play, may God bless us all in that endeavour.
With my prayers and good wishes as always,
Fr Gary Waddington Team Rector.

Minutes of the Annual Vestry Meeting and Annual Parochial Church Meeting: Sunday 23[rd] May 2021
Note: the APCM for 2021 can also be watched again on our facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=1072864736575900 starting at about 34:30.
Fr Gary Waddington, Team Rector and PCC Chairman, presided over a meeting attended by parishioners, during the Parish Mass for the Solemnity of Pentecost as part of the Coronavirus Pandemic. He explained that the meeting would therefore be brief, and set out how elections would be handled for 2021 in light of the process for 2020. He noted that, since the last meeting took place late in October 2020, by virtue of a statutory Instrument, there had been a shorter than normal gap between meetings.
No apologies for absence had been received.
Election of Church Wardens, Deanery Synod members, PCC members and sidespersons. Mrs Christine Turner and Mr Justin Brett were elected to serve as wardens for the year 2021-2022. Fr Gary noted that their term of office would begin at the Archdeacon’s Visitation Service when they are sworn in.
For the Deanery Synod, Richard Mantle, Lesley Bird and Justin Brett were elected.
For the PCC, Simon Gartside, Robert Watts, Pam Grant and Janet Thomas were elected. As is the parish custom, those whose names appear on the stewarding rota were elected as sidesperson ‘en bloc’.
Election of Independent Examiner
Mr David d’Arcy Thompson had examined the accounts for 2020 and was willing to stand again as an independent examiner for 2021. This was approved by the meeting with no objections.
Annual Reports
A booklet containing the Annual Reports and Financial Statements had been prepared and had been available in print and electronically on request in advance of the meeting as well as being available on the day of the meeting. The report gave a summary of parish life during 2020. Fr Gary set out that there had been a significant reduction in income which had led to a significant deficit in the revenue budget. He thanked everyone for their continuing stewardship – and noted that many parishes had seen an almost complete collapse in giving, which mercifully had not happened to us. That was in thanks part to good planning. The parish had also received a major legacy from the late Allan Tattersfield. As such, overall, the parish had seen a surplus in income over expenditure.
These were unanimously approved by the meeting.
Team Rector’s Remarks
Fr Gary made remarks given the ongoing pandemic and particularly in the light of the celebration of Pentecost. He noted that the gift of the Holy Spirit is to set us on fire for a purpose: to enable new growth and renewal. Trusting in the living God, our task is to work for him and accept that circumstances mean change is often inevitable. He thanked the ‘team’ wardens, officers and PCC members – and recorded his thanks for the hard work of both staff and clergy alike in such a challenging and difficult year. He noted there is no ‘handbook’ on what to do in a global health crisis. He particularly paid tribute to the outgoing warden, Andrew Haslam for his work as a warden.

Annual Reports for 2021
Aims and Purposes
St. Wilfrid’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, Fr Gary Waddington, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of the life of the parish, working alongside senior leaders and paid staff who are responsible for the day to day management of the life of the parish.
Our liturgical life seeks to enable us to live out the whole of the Christian vocation and as such when planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
We try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; study; and developing our discipleship
-
The provision of pastoral care to those living in the parish
-
Our missionary and outreach work
-
Our care for a historic, grade 1 listed building, preserving the fabric for future generations and developing our buildings as an asset for both the parish and the wider community.
Structure, Governance and Management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, licenced clergy, churchwardens, members of higher synods and members elected by those whose names appear on the Electoral roll.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. In practice, in such a large parish, this is delegated to staff and specific individuals through the careful use of budgets within the terms of reference and policies that the PCC oversees. Over the last few years we have implemented a system where new members receive an initial welcome meeting and guidance regarding the workings of the PCC.
All PCC members serve at some time on committees – either permanent bodies or ‘ad hoc’ groups created to pursue specific projects. The principal subcommittee of the PCC is the Standing Committee. This committee is made up of the incumbent, the churchwardens and three other elected members (normally the PCC secretary, treasurer and one other member of the PCC). In law, the Standing Committee has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its full meetings. It also acts as the personnel committee of the PCC.
PCC members are also expected to show individual leadership within tasks delegated to them. All committees and groups are expected to report back, either directly to the PCC, or through a ‘parent body’ which sponsors and oversees their activities.
Volunteers
We would like to thank the many volunteers who work hard throughout the year.

Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
2021 has continued to made direct comparisons with previous years difficult to make. Much of the programme of worship and prayer has been, to some extent, restored in 2021.
The Electoral Roll
The number on the Electoral Roll at the time of writing in advance of this APCM is 148. This is an increase of 9 from the figure at the APCM in 2021 (139). There have been 9 new additions to the roll since the last Annual Meeting, no deaths and no requests for names to be removed. This is the third successive year of increase in the numbers on the electoral roll.
Deanery and Diocesan Synod
We have three members on the PCC who are representatives on the Deanery Synod, providing a link between the parish and the wider church. Our representatives are Mr Justin Brett, Mr Richard Mantle and Ms Lesley Bird. Mr Brett serves as Lay Chairman of Deanery Synod. In addition Justin Brett and Jonathan Wilson are elected members of the Diocesan Synod.
The Parish Hall, buildings, Social Media and Commercial Activity
Commercial Income
Commercial income began a long slow recovery in 2021 compared to steep falls of 2020. Cottage rental income has remained steady through the year.
Quinquennial Repairs & Appointment of a new Architect
In March 2020 the PCC appointed Mr Christopher Cotton to be the new inspecting architect and he is now working on plans in line with the PCC’s development priorities. The Quinquennial Inspection report was last undertaken in 2017, and by statute a new report will need to be prepared in 2022.
Other Works
- The grounds are maintained at minimal cost thanks to volunteers and the grounds staff of the Ladies College who help with lawns and hedges.
Our Facebook page www.facebook.com/Saintwilfrid continues to be important to building awareness of St Wilfrid’s locally and further afield. As Fr Gary makes clear in his introduction this has been an extraordinary ‘outreach’ tool during the last year. Some of the statistics are illuminating. In 2021, 79,483 minutes of video were viewed in total. That gave us a ‘reach’ of individuals who watched at a cumulative total of in excess of 46,000, which translates into an engagement with over 18,000 people. There are 949 people who have signed up to ‘follow’ us on Facebook – the largest of any parish church in Harrogate (just ahead of St Marks with 936, Christchurch with 444, St Robert’s Pannal with 329, St Peter’s with 133 and St Luke’s with 97).
Website
Our website at www.stwilfrid.org is an important marketing and communications tool. It is easy for us to update ourselves and looks professional. We want to look at a minor ‘facelift’ to the interface in the next year.
8
Pastoral Care
As with all pastoral services, Baptisms were limited at times because of the ongoing pandemic. However there were 18 baptisms in 2021, up from 2 in 2020. Five weddings were able to take place, up from two in the previous year. Couples have been amazingly understanding and services whilst often small, were still very moving services. In addition, seven funerals took place and and burials of ashes were also able to take place.
Ecumenical Relationships
St Wilfrid’s has little in the way of ecumenical relationships. However, this is an area we hope to improve in time. We currently have a representative at ‘Churches together in Harrogate’.
Mission and Evangelism
Our usual programme of charitable giving was impossible this year. However, members of the congregation and residents in the Parish were encouraged to give regularly to the Harrogate Homeless Project, who have had another very busy year. A number of people have set up regular online donations, and there have been boxes in the church porch for groceries and toiletries. At Christmas and during Lent, the church was added to the list of charities, and also in Lent the usual Lent charity, WaterAid, was added.
Thanks must go to both Janet Thomas and to Shirley and Les Simpson for their hard work on behalf of the Harrogate Homeless Project during another unusual year.
Development
Works were carried out as reported in the report above. Work has continued, albeit slowly, on developing the priorities the PCC have agreed:
-
The Hall, Kitchens and Toilets
-
A new lighting scheme for the Church and Hall
-
Improvements to the security and environment of the Hall, as well as the approach to the Church from Duchy Road.
We hope that significant plans will be brought forward in mid 2022.
Financial Review
Fr Gary sets out much of the financial position in his foreword to this report.
We wish to record our thanks to Jonathan Thompson and Jonathan Wilson for their work on our finances and also to Rebecca Oliver and Linda Harrison for their support in handling the day to day finances in the office. We continue to maintain capital funds just below the PCC reserve policy. It is clear that care will need to be continued over the coming years to further stabilise the parish finances.
We paid our quota for 2021 in full of £123,842 and were one of four out the six ‘Harrogate’ churches to do so. St Peter’s, St Mark’s and the Bilton Team pay more in quota, St Roberts and Christchurch pay slightly less. Together though, each of the Harrogate Churches are paying quota at a sum which puts us in the top 5% of parishes in the Diocese by amount.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to hold in reserve a continuing minimum of “free reserves” of three months running costs, including salary costs. At present this minimum is £50,000. This figure excludes those funds which have been designated for specific purposes (restricted funds). The PCC delegates the operation of asset management to the Standing Committee.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2021
1. Accounting Policies
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011 together with the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
2. Tangible Fixed Assets And Depreciation
Consecrated property and movable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the financial statements by s.10 of the Charities Act 2011.
Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2005 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Items acquired since 1[st] January 2005 have been capitalised and depreciated in the financial statements over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straight line basis.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, on the repairs of movable church furnishings is written off.
Investments
Investments are valued at market value on 31[st] December 2021, and accounted for in accordance with FRS102.
3. Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31[st] December 2021 in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England Funds or at the bank.

a. Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
-
b. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received.
-

e. Funds raised by the sale of teas, coffees etc. and similar events are accounted for gross.
-
f. Income from the 200 Club is accounted for gross.

Gains and losses on Investments
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold.
5. Resources Used
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded. if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Independent examiner's report
to the Parochial Church Council of St. Wilfrid Harrogate
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 set out on pages ten to eighteen above.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The PCC members are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC members consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to:-
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examinations, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
