The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Edmund, Roundhay
Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
Structure, governance and management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Edmund’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), our self-supporting ministers, churchwardens, a reader representative, 3 deanery synod representatives and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
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. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC and their responsibilities as trustees.
The full PCC met 8 times during the year, with an average attendance of 77%. The PCC adapted to zoom meetings because of the pandemic. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has several committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship and music, green group, social justice group, communications, hall management, grounds, fabric, and finance & stewardship, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC, discussed, and actioned upon where necessary.
Deanery Synod
Up to four members of the PCC sit on the deanery synod, with three places currently taken. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. This year the synod has looked at areas of ministry including the environment, safeguarding, and dementia.
Diocesan Synod and Diocesan Board
Our incumbent is an elected member of both the Diocesan Synod and the Diocese of Leeds Board, and related finance and audit committees providing parish level input and experience to assist Diocesan policy and decision making.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
Aim and purposes
St Edmund’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Nigel Wright, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church hall adjacent to the church building.
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 at St Edmund’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music, and sacrament.
The PCC adopted the following vision statement in 2016:
-
l rooted and grounded in prayer, the bible and worship (guiding and empowering)
-
l enabling people to belong and grow in faith (welcoming, nurturing, and caring)
-
l reaching out into our community (serving and witnessing).”
The overarching church focus is “Sharing God’s generous love”. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
l Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
l Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish and the wider community in partnership with our neighbouring parishes.
-
l Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church of St Edmund’s, the church hall, and the grounds.
Public benefit statement
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.
Achievements and performance
Church - worship and prayer
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services over the course of the liturgical seasons, and the annual calendar, that our community find both beneficial and helpful in enabling them to engage in worship and prayer and to enable a deepening of their spiritual lives.
Worship at St Edmund’s, on Sunday mornings, is centred round the 10am Sunday Holy Communion service. This service is adapted in the month for baptisms, all-age and parade services, and other specific occasions such as Mothering Sunday, Harvest and Remembrance Sunday. It incorporates a broad range of liturgical and musical styles to reflect a diverse worshipping community, together with a multimedia approach to service input and output. There is also an 8am said Holy Communion service each Sunday which provides a quiet and reflective worship space. Sunday evening services reflect the diversity of the community with a variety of different service styles, including contemporary praise events, evensong, Taizé, evening prayer and Sanctuary youth services.
“Little Faith Explorers,” is for parents/carers and pre-schoolers, to provide a time of worship, play and fellowship over lunch. This provision arose from our engagement and discussion with families preparing to have children baptised.
St Edmund’s has a popular choir, including a strong children’s section. The choir has a varied repertoire and a willingness to engage in contemporary as well as traditional choral music. We are indebted to our Director of music and organist/pianist for their dedication.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
Church - worship and prayer continued
Considerable thought, planning and input continues to be given to meeting the needs of children, in worship and prayer, and there is provision during the 10am service for all age groups to meet in individual age groups, for bespoke teaching and worship, through a dedicated team of 15 children’s workers.
There is a weekly midweek Holy Communion service; a Julian prayer and meditation group; a dedicated team which prays in church each morning (weekdays) providing a deeply reverent and historically important form of worship for the community. The aesthetics of the church building and the liturgical decorations and flowers, are a significant and beautiful aid to worship and prayer.
The PCC remain ever mindful of changes in the parish community and society at large when considering worship and prayer provision and its duty under canon law to make provision for minority groups. Restructured baptism services have been well received by families, newcomers, and worshippers from visiting churches. The worshipping environment has been improved throughout 2018 to 2020, with new audio-visual equipment and sound desk together with new lighting and a new welcome area.
Worship and prayer in the pandemic (coronavirus)
Lockdown, the tier system, social distancing, and no singing all had a huge impact on the way congregations could and could not engage in worship. Worship services were quickly adapted so that services could be livestreamed from leaders’ homes and the church building (when allowed) followed by restricted services in church; also live streamed for those unable to attend. A full diet of services, throughout the week continued and many new people were able to access the services through the live streams, including many who have never been able to attend the church building due to disabilities.
Church Facilities - community engagement and enrichment in the pandemic
We aim to make our church available for a broad range of arts-based activities, including orchestras, musical ensembles, and choirs with a particular focus on increasing the number of organisations using the church building for such events. Sadly, the pandemic meant that almost all such activities were unable to take place in 2020.
We take seriously our responsibility to our environment and creation, in all aspects of our church and community life, and were awarded a Bronze Eco Church award in 2018 (A Rocha). We are currently working towards the Silver award and a project for additional solar panelling on the church building is in progress.
Our church attracts many for seasonal events and although we were unable to host our normal events in the building, we utilised our West Garden throughout the autumn and winter such that we had over 2,000 people engage with Harvest, All Souls, Remembrance, Advent and Christmas displays and interactive spaces.
Engaging with local schools is a priority and numerous educational school projects, visits and concerts are held in the church building, for a variety of schools. However, throughout 2020 this has not been possible due to the pandemic.
Our church hall building comprises a variety of halls, rooms, offices, prayer room and a dance studio, which are all let out for a varied range of activities and community uses. The engagement with community activities over the course of regular and party/event hire results in approximately one thousand adults and children each week using the facilities. Sadly, for the vast majority of 2020 this has not been possible.
We are a sponsoring church for Guide and Scout Association uniformed organisations and have a purpose-built Guide and Scout headquarters on site. Some 280 children are engaged with these uniformed organisations, with many of the leaders and children also being part of regular church life and/or attending church parade services. Although the pandemic restricted meetings in person the section leaders continued to engage in new and creative ways via internet meetings and outdoor meetings.

Church Facilities - community engagement and enrichment in the pandemic continued
St Edmund's is a Dementia Friendly church and runs "The Tea Cosy Cafe" in the Highwood Building of the Brackenwood Community Association, which reaches out to those living with dementia and their carers. In 2019 St Edmund’s entered into a partnership with the Royal Volunteer Services to provide a weekly drop in space for older people with a particular focus on loneliness. A fortnightly midweek soup lunch club was also started in 2019 and has proven popular. All these provisions had to cease during the pandemic, but leaders and organisers continued to provide telephone and practical support to members wherever possible.
Throughout the Covid pandemic, St Edmund’s has managed a community Hub for the Roundhay Ward in conjunction with Leeds County Council, providing meals, shopping, food-parcels, practical support, and ad hoc services to a potential population base of some 25,000 people. This has been achieved through coordinating and managing over 350 volunteers, from a mix of church and community. It has helped forge numerous relationships with other charities and not for profit organisations serving the wider community.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care in the parish is built on deep and long-term relationships both within the church congregation and the parish as a whole. St Edmund’s is an important part of community life and is a focus for baptisms, wedding, and funerals. Pastoral care is prominent in all three settings. Preparation for baptisms and weddings is provided by teams to ensure all preparing for these significant life events are well prepared and cared for. There is a bereavement team which cares for all those who seek help in grief and an annual memorial service that is much appreciated by many in the wider community.
Congregation members are involved in a wide range of local activities outside of the parish church and much pastoral care and attention is undertaken quite naturally and genuinely. Congregation members are prominent in ensuring those who would not otherwise be able to attend worship are provided with lifts, or a firm hand to hold! Home communion distribution is a prominent feature in the parish to cater for the needs of those who are in nursing homes, ill or housebound and there is a strong team of Lay Eucharistic Ministers.
Pastoral care assistants are embedded in the life of the church and in the care of congregation members. The team is 16 strong with additional input from clergy.
Pastoral Care in the pandemic
The systems already in place helped greatly in ensuring all church members were looked after and further volunteers were sought for telephone, shopping, and practical support, where needed. This was also coordinated with the hub support where beneficial. To improve communications channels, weekly internet mailing was introduced to keep everyone as up to date as possible and to continually offer help, support, and signposts to help in areas such as housing, debt, and mental health. Weekly postal delivery was also provided for all those without internet access. Mass distribution of supportive literature in partnership with other care support agencies has been undertaken throughout the pandemic.
As a result of the pandemic, we have introduced additional processes and systems that have widened and improved the pastoral care we offer to church and community.
Mission and Evangelism during the pandemic
Monitoring and evaluating mission and outreach is normally undertaken by recording and providing various prescribed statistics for mission to the Church Commissioners centred on attendance figures, electoral roll numbers and a variety of other categories.
At present there are 168 (2019: 166) members on the electoral roll. The regular worshipping community (attending a service at least once a month at the end of 2020) was 232 adults and 77 children (2019: 223 adults and 77 children), a net increase of 9 adults and no children. This year the number has been difficult to assess with a mix of limited attendance, closure, and online services. The assessment has been based on the knowledge of those who have moved out of the area or died and those who have moved to church and completed a GDPR form, presuming everyone has continued to engage from 2019.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
Mission and Evangelism during the pandemic continued
The normal measures relating to service attendance measures are not comparable during the pandemic but online engagement and in person engagement has been approximately the same as the previous year. The average attendance at Sunday services in 2019 (excluding those attending as visitors for special and seasonal occasions) was 137 adults and 25 children. Including guests, average Sunday attendance was 157 adults and 31 children (2018: 150 adults and 29 children).
Weddings and baptisms were in the main either not allowed or allowed under extremely limited circumstances. Funeral have been conducted as sensitively as possible working within all pandemic restrictions.
Major festivals are a significant source of community outreach at St Edmund’s, however, during the pandemic we have not been able to undertake our normal activities and services in the same way. New and creative ways were undertaken to engage the community with major festivals as outlined in the community engagement section.
Communication has been expanded significantly through digital engagement during the pandemic and new methods of communications will be maintained on an ongoing basis, with both the church community and wider community. For instance, the “following” on our Facebook page increased from 280 to over 600 across the pandemic and tools such as podcasts have created new opportunities for engagement to a much wider audience.
Our parish magazine is distributed to many people around the parish by both members of the congregation and others and with careful risk management this has continued throughout the pandemic.
St Edmund’s has had a long association with St Aidan’s Foodbank, PAFRAS (an immigration support charity) and a local Franciscans men’s shelter. During the pandemic we have been unable to collect the items of food, clothing, and similar supplies we would normally support them with, and so we have been supporting these charities financially thanks to congregation member donations of nearly £10,000.
We also engage in mission and outreach on a national and global level. Each year we give a portion of our income to other charitable causes, which in 2020 included Child Rescue Nepal, LASSN; Grace Hosting, Martin House Hospice, Shantona Women’s and Family Centre, The Woodlands Trust, CMS Missionary and Kids for Kids children’s charity and we were able to honour these commitments during the pandemic.
We continue to support the work of Traidcraft and because we could not host a monthly stall goods were distributed, in accordance with safe practices, through an ordering system.
Significant numbers of our congregation members support a wide variety of charitable and community-based activities across a broad spectrum of faith-based and non-faith-based projects. As a church and as individuals interfaith projects have been embraced and we engage in proactive interfaith relationships within our community and beyond.
Mission and outreach – development and enrichment
The focus on numbers and statistics in annual reports is paramount, however, what is not measurable by these figures necessarily is how the individual lives of those worshipping members of the church, and those engaging with the church, are being developed and enriched (or not as maybe the case). This needs a continual focus from the PCC, incumbent and licensed ministers combined. The growing congregation is a mixture of those new to the Christian faith and those moving from other areas and as such there is an increased need for teaching, mentoring and spiritual care.
What is particularly exciting is the growing desire for more teaching, a natural consequence of development in faith and ministry, and there is currently much consideration being given to new ways of providing teaching to equip all congregation members.

Mission and outreach – development and enrichment continued
St Edmund’s is a beacon parish for the Everyday faith project (formerly Setting God’s People Free), which seeks to equip all for living out lives of faith Monday to Saturday. Alpha courses continue to be popular providing a means for those new or returning to the Christian faith to explore. When Alpha has been completed The Bible Society Bible course is undertaken. In working to increase the number of small groups congregation members can engage with, the following groups have been established: a young adult’s group, an after school drop in for high school age children and the midweek soup lunch. During the pandemic there has been a marked rise in people seeking support from spirituality and faith.
Mission and outreach – training and resourcing
St Edmund’s is a training parish and during 2020 had two curates in training. One curate completing their training in the summer of 2020 and one transferred to a new setting in January 2021. A new curate is scheduled to start in July 2021. Two interns completed their time with St Edmund’s in the summer of 2020 and one commenced in September 2020.
St Edmund’s is part of a group of city churches forming a resource church team, funded by the Strategic Development Unit of the National Commissioners. St Edmund’s will in due course send a curate with a small team to revitalise a neighbouring church that has sought assistance for growth and renewal. As part of the funding package, St Edmund’s has completed internal church works relating to audio/visual, lighting, aesthetics, and a new welcome area, as well as appointing an operations manager and a children, youth and families worker. Additional support and training are received from the national church and the Diocesan Programme Board. St Edmund’s is currently exploring a partnership with HeartEdge, a broad-church project funded by St Martin-in-the-fields, for mutual support and to encourage other broad churches to consider undertaking Strategic Development funded projects.
Many of our members engage in ministry and outreach on a Diocesan-wide basis in many different ways, including chaplaincy services to Ripon Cathedral, serving with the Diocesan Advisory Committee, Chaplaincy services, and assisting neighbouring churches with a variety of projects.
Ecumenical Relationships
We continue to meet with 4 other local churches as ‘Churches Together in Roundhay’ to plan and support occasional events including the ecumenical Lent study course. Combined services take place in each church at intervals throughout the year.
The Church – buildings, maintenance & management
The PCC recognises that to facilitate the work detailed above, it is important that the fabric of the church and the church hall facilities are continually maintained and improved. There is a schedule of regular servicing and maintenance for all plant and equipment.
Our church building quinquennial inspection was carried out in November 2017. There were no significant immediate matters to attend to, however, £120,000 of aisle roof repairs were completed in 2020 funded by a £60,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant with various additional grant providers and input from PCC funds.
St Edmund’s has an “invisible army” of volunteers and helpers that continue to look after the day-to-day care and maintenance of the church and grounds throughout the year and as such the church and grounds are maintained to a high standard for all to enjoy. The challenges of the pandemic have meant that ongoing works have had to be very carefully managed in accordance with all the additional requirements arising from the pandemic.

Risk Management & Safeguarding
The PCC is committed to maintaining health and safety and risk management policies, in line with both legal requirements and best practice. All policies and procedures were reviewed and renewed where necessary. Written risk assessments for activities and the premises are undertaken, maintained and updated each year or event.. As a responsible employer the PCC abides by HR legislation and ensures all necessary policies and documentation are in place. The management of volunteers is an essential part of delivering the aims and objectives of the charity and guidance issued by the national and diocesan church advisors is used to attain to best practise in volunteer management.
In addition, during the pandemic all additional risk assessment and compliance matters have been adhered to, both for activities in the church and related buildings and activities in the community.
The PCC continue to adhere to and improve systems in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation requirements.
The PCC takes very seriously its responsibility for all safeguarding issues and ensuring both legal requirement and best practice are adhered to. All parishes are required to have agreed a formal statement of adoption of the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’, and of the Church of England safeguarding policy and guidance, including a Parish Safeguarding Policy (provided by the House of Bishops, from the Parish Safeguarding handbook, Promoting a safer church). This statement of adoption and the Parish Safeguarding policy are signed on behalf of the PCC and displayed in our church and church hall, having been updated to the latest versions, reviewed, and approved by the PCC.
The PCC has also been implemented the “National Church watch guidance” on Counter Terrorism Advice of churches.
The Archdeacon’s parish visitation was undertaken in 2019 and in summary the Archdeacon commented as follows:
“Unusually, I have no list of requirements or recommendations for action to make on the first three of these (fabric and registers, finance, and safeguarding). These three areas are not ends in themselves but means to an end, which is the fourth area, the spreading of the gospel and the growth of the Church in numbers, in spiritual commitment, and in service. But without excellence in the first three areas it is difficult for the fourth to flourish… With exemplary systems and management in place the big challenge is to keep pressing on.”
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is, particularly across such a challenging period. It would be wrong to single out any one individual as we have some 190 volunteers as well as the staff team, church wardens and trustees.

Financial review
The net expenditure for the year was £30,906, including net expenditure of £45,890 on unrestricted funds, net income of £14,908 on restricted funds and net income of £76 on endowment funds, after transfers.
Given the loss of significant amounts of rental and hire income of over £40,000 (due to the pandemic) and over £100,000 expended on church buildings maintenance and improvements (having been committed before the pandemic) positive fund balances on all funds going forward is a reflection of the good governance and financial management undertaken in such challenging times.
The coronavirus pandemic led to the closure of the Church in March 2020 before a gradual reopening for services began in July 2020. During this period there were no cash donations and reduced giving under the envelope scheme. However, standing orders continued which represents over 70% of the church’s normal unrestricted donations. The church has continued to pay its parish share and can rely on previous reserves to cover any shortfall. The PCC have considered future cash flow forecasts and believe that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis, and liabilities will continue to be met.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments.
It is our policy to invest the short-term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Funds.
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £34,270.

Notes to the accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2020
1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
Going concern
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Expenditure and liabilities
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
