## Trustees Annual report for the year ended 31 December 20243. As a registered charity the Trustees have to report each year to the Charity Commission on the actvites of the charity. 

The trustees for the purpose of the Charity Commission of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Swinton and Pendlebury (charity registration number 1131913) are the members of the Parochial Church Council. 

The parish of Swinton and Pendlebury is a large urban parish in the north-west district of the area covered by Salford City Council (and the city council’s Civic Centre lies within the parish, centred on Swinton Town Hall). It lies astride the A6, the M60/M62, and the ManchesterAtherton-Wigan railway line. The population of the parish is about 25,000. The population of Salford is currently expected to grow steadily over the next ten years and there are plans for significant housing development within the parish and when we know whether some or all of these will go forward we will have to consider our response in terms of mission and ministry. The parish is served by three churches, the parish church of Saint Peter, and the district churches of All Saints and Saint Augustine. The church of Saint Augustine is a Grade One listed building and the church of Saint Peter is Grade Two *. There is a parish hall, the Fletcher Hall, and the parish owns three units of housing, the curate’s house at 46 Townsend Road, a property left to the parish at 86 Eccles Road, and The Gatehouse at Saint Augustine’s (also listed). All three are rented at present. The work of three Church of England primary schools : one aided, one maintained school, and one which is part of a multi-academy trust is part of the parish’s ministry and mission. 

Numbers at worship continued to recover from the effects of the pandemic during 2024, with strong attendance both at Easter and also at Christmas, where the current closure of the main building at Salford Cathedral led to us being asked to host some extra carol services, which were well-attended. 

Financially, 2024 saw us able to pay our parochial apportionment (of £73,079.94) to the diocese for the year in full.  Summer and Christmas Fairs were more or less back to normal and made a significant contribution to our financial stability. We also saw other fund-raising activity, Our fee income from marriages and funerals dropped and we think the Church of England may have raised statutory fees beyond what the market will stand. This fall in fee income has happened in many other parishes as well, and is plain to see from the diocesan accounts as well (because a proportion of statutory fee income goes to the diocese). We ended the year with a welcome slight surplus after slight deficits in 2023 and 2022. We held our last stewardship campaign in 2016 and before COVID we noted that we would soon need to be thinking about our next campaign. Obviously it would not have been appropriate to hold such a campaign in 2020, 2021, or 2022. But we are now beginning to plan for such a campaign, although the timing of this needs to be determined and may be affected by the timing of stipendiary clergy retirements. We are very grateful to all who support our parish financially, especially those who do so regularly by forms of planned giving. We endeavour to make full use of Gift Aid, making 



regular claims, and with Gift Aid envelopes available in each church. Each church has its own Gift Aid secretary and makes its own Gift Aid claims and our churches have also been benefiting from the Gift Aid on Small Donations scheme (GASD). We have also started to use contactless machines for donations, payments at concerts and fund-raising events, and payment of parochial fees. The next step will be to site install a contactless machine in Saint Peter’s Church but we need to provide the necessary sockets and pedestal. 

An initial listing and counting of our volunteers would start with the 305 people whose names are on the parochial church electoral roll. Very many people volunteer to aid our activities each year in a variety of ways, including help with fund-raising, with visiting and pastoral care, with a variety of ministries in our prayer and worship, with hospitality, with the maintenance of the fabric of our churches, with our children’s activities, as foundation governors at the schools, and with publicity.  Our participation in Heritage Open Days each year is dependent on volunteers assisting our limited stipendiary team. We host a busy food distribution hub for The Bread and Butter Thing charity, and apart from the member of staff from the charity who attends each week, this is staffed by volunteers mostly from our congregations.  And, of course, those who come and participate in our prayer and worship are overwhelmingly there as volunteers. 

The trustees believe that by promoting the work of this parish they help to promote the whole mission of the church and that in so doing they provide a public benefit by providing facilities for public worship, prayer, pastoral care and spiritual, moral, and intellectual development, both for its regular worshippers and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the church offers, and by promoting Christian values and service (such as emergency food support and literacy support and The Bread and Butter Thing hub and our “place of welcome”) in the community to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. More information on these benefits is clear, we think, throughout this report. 

The trustees consider the following to be connected charities: 

1. Saint Augustine’s Restoration and Development Trust, for “the restoration, repair, renewal, improvement and maintenance of the fabric of the Church of Saint Augustine Pendlebury” (regd charity no.  1011150) 

2. Church of Saint Peter, Swinton, Restoration and Development Trust, for the restoration, repair or renewal, maintenance and improvement” of Saint Peter’s Church, Swinton (regd charity no. 514938). 

Grants are, on occasion, paid to these connected charities and other charitable projects which appear to the Parochial Church Council to support the furtherance of the parish’s charitable objects. 

The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the operation of the parish is exposed have been reviewed and that systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. We endeavour to continue to examine major strategic, financial, and operational risks which 



the charity faces and confirm that systems have been and will be implemented to enable the necessary steps to be taken to lessen these risks.
