Trustees Annual Report (Parochial Church Council) year ending 31[st] . December 2020.

Aim and Purposes

Calne and Blackland Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Team Rector Revd. Bob Kenway in promoting within the ecclesiastical parish (as part of the Marden Vale Team Benefice), the whole mission of the Church, pastoral: evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Our services and worship put faith into practice.

Public Benefit Statement:

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship within the 3 churches of the parish: St Mary the Virgin, Holy Trinity and St Peter, Blackland and to become part of the parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and offers suggestions as to how more people might become more involved. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and Sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community as we seek to fulfil our vision as a PCC as follows:

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the churches of the parish and Church House which acts as a ‘parish centre’ for meetings etc.

Administrative Information.

For the day to day running of the parish the PCC employs an administrator for 17.5 hours per week with occasional assistance from volunteers. The PCC has its own honorary secretary and honorary treasurer to transact its business.

Volunteers and parish staff.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make the parish the lively community that it is. We would particularly like to thank the 4 churchwardens and deputy wardens and the church officers especially the PCC Secretary and Treasurer .

There are many people engaged in a whole range of important tasks: welcoming people to services as sides persons, cleaning, fabric repair and maintenance, painting and decorating, flower arranging, bell ringing, reading and leading intersessions, serving, singing in the choir, ‘church watching’, leading groups for children and supporting the church schools as governors etc. There are far too many to name individually but their contribution to the parish community is invaluable.

We should mention in thanksgiving the vital work done by the parish administrator, Lay pastoral assistants, sacristans and organists.

2.

Rector’s Report for the year ending 31st December 2020.

In 2020, prior to the corona virus pandemic, around 25-30 people received Holy Communion in their homes monthly. In addition, between 5 and 10 people attend a fortnightly Sunday evening service at a local Residential home which is conducted by members of the parish team. This has not been able to take place through much of 2020.

The Pandemic has also impacted the occasional offices (baptisms, weddings, funerals). Only 3 baptisms and 1 wedding took place in the three churches of the parish during the course of the year. 15 funerals and interment of ashes took place across the 3 churches and 2 churchyards (the latter being at Holy Trinity, Quemerford and St Peter’s church, Blackland). In addition, there were 33 funerals conducted either in a crematorium or as a graveside service in a local authority cemetery.

During 2020 there were 211 people entered on the Electoral Roll of the parish.

The current “Parish share” membership figure upon which Salisbury diocese calculates share allocation remains 185 adults.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Prayer

2020-21 has been both an exceptional and extremely difficult year due to the Covid -19 pandemic. This Coronavirus has impacted the life of everyone including the life of the church within the parish of Calne and Blackland and across the Marden Vale Benefice. Regular worship in our church buildings has been suspended several times due to ‘national lockdowns’ and government restrictions. Instead, the Benefice Team has offered worship on-line via ‘Youtube’ and ‘Zoom’ digital platforms. This has been a new area of development requiring the rapid acquisition of a range of new skills! The offerings have been appreciated by many people though not everyone has been able to access them owing to a lack of the necessary technology. We have had the challenge of trying to include people in other ways through the distribution of printed materials and DVD recordings. During the year there has been ‘socially distanced’ worship both at the churches of St Mary and Holy Trinity. The worship spaces have had to be adapted to comply with government guidance and to reduce the risk of the spread of Covid-19. It has not been possible to adapt St Peter’s church for public worship due to its small size. However, we have conducted some worship in its churchyard viz outdoor Morning Prayer and the annual Animal Blessing. When it has been possible to worship in St Mary’s we have more recently (2021) been able to live-stream services so that they have been accessible to those who have been ‘shielding’ at home.

An All-age service has been offered via Zoom each Sunday morning at 10.00am which has enable families with young children to participate alongside adults.

In February 2020, prior to the introduction of the first ‘national lockdown’, we held a Civic Service at St Mary’s church at the request of the Town Mayor. Whilst Civic Services take place each year (e.g. on Remembrance Sunday) a celebratory service of this kind had not been hosted by the church for many decades. The Service was attended by the Calne Mayor and town councillors along with representatives of local organisations. The Archdeacon of Wilts, the Ven. Dr Sue Groom, preached for the occasion. November’s Remembrance Civic service took the form of a pre-recorded ‘Youtube’ service but there was also a live-streamed ‘socially distanced’ ceremony at the War Memorial with prayers, 2 minutes silence and wreath-laying. On the 8th May there was a similar pre-recorded Civic Service to mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. A service to mark the 75th Anniversary of VJ day was held in St Mary’s church in August but in accordance with government guidelines.

Sadly, both in 2020 and 2021, Holy Week and Easter worship needed to be conducted on-line. At Christmas, some of the worship was also presented on-line (most notably the annual Crib Service: “Goggle Box Christmas” but we managed to use both children and puppets in the presentation). As we were not able to sing in church a Carol Service took place outside at the west end of the church gathering around an outdoor Nativity scene that had been specifically prepared by members of the congregation, the Calne Men’s Shed and children from Holy Trinity and Marden Vale Academies.

In 2021 Holy Week ‘Stations of the Cross’ was set up in St Mary’s churchyard and people were encouraged to collect a

3.

palm cross to use as they made their prayer journey. An Easter garden was created in the ‘Calne Pocket Park’ and an Easter Trail was set up in Holy Trinity churchyard.

Schools

The PCC has links with several schools in the parish via both the clergy and through the foundation governors that it nominates for appointment by the Diocesan Board of Education. Four schools have Church of England Foundations 2 in the maintained sector: Marden Vale CE Academy (part of the Diocese of Salisbury Multi-Academy Trust) and Holy Trinity CE Academy; and 2 independent schools, St Mary’s Girls school and St Margaret’s Preparatory School. The schools too have been affected by the lockdowns and whilst they have been open throughout the year, for much of this time they have only been available for the children of ‘key workers’. Much of the children’s education has been conducted on-line. This has also impacted ‘collective worship’ although the members of parish and benefice team have been able to input to some degree via ‘Zoom’ and ‘Microsoft Teams’.

Children and young people

The pandemic has meant that the normal parents and toddler, ‘Messy church’, Young people’s and children’s holiday clubs have not been able to taken place. A weekly bible story and children’s activity has been made available on-line.

Marden Vale Team Benefice

Since August 2010 the parish has become part of the Team Benefice of Marden Vale which includes 3 other parishes: Christchurch Derry Hill, St Martin Bremhill, St John the Baptist Foxham. The Rev’d Linda Carter has responsibility for these. Linda was licensed as Team Vicar in December 2017. In June 2018 the Rev’d Teresa Michaux was licensed as Team Vicar (House-for-Duty) within the Team. Teresa’s key responsibilities are within the parish of Calne and Blackland.

Licensed Ministry in the parish

Currently, in addition to the Team Rector and Team Vicar, we are fortunate to have the ministerial support of several people who have the Bishop’s ‘Permission to Officiate’ (PTO) in the parish and across the Team Benefice and Deanery. Lois Cater, Jeremy Cresswell, Derek Frost, Hedley Ringrose, and Jim Scott are all retired priests who have led worship and helped with the occasional offices. Sadly, the Ven. Hedley Ringrose died in April 2021, as this annual report was being finalised in preparation for the APCM in May. The people of the parish are especially grateful for his wise and pastoral ministry and his friendship. In addition, we enjoy the active ministry of Enid Powell (LLM with PTO) and Jenny Colby (Church Army with PTO) who also lead worship and assist with the occasional offices. Steve Colby who was accepted for LLM training in 2018 is now in his final year of a 3 years training programme (which again has been mostly accessed on-line). We also have two Lay Worship Leaders, Jack Robinson and Mary Pilcher-Clayton, who are authorised to lead worship in the parish and benefice, and they have also been able to contribute to ‘Youtube’ services.

Deanery Synod

Four members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. There were 2 meetings in 2020/21 both of these were held on-line. An additional meeting with the Bishop of Salisbury was held in the Autumn combining with the neighbouring Deanery of Pewsey. There continues to be an important focus on safeguarding training for those who serve as PCC members and people have been attending the courses on-line offered by Salisbury Diocese.

Church House

Church House acts as a meeting point within the parish. In normal years it is in regular use by a number of parish groups (Parents and toddlers, Junior church, Mothers Union, CAMEO. Monthly soup lunches etc) as well as a range of community groups e.g. ‘Veteran Gamers’ (a group of young adults which play games of strategy), St Mary’s art group, the north Wiltshire Strings Group and the Calne and district community link scheme. However, during 2020/21 much of these activities have not been able to be carried out on the premises. From March to November 2020 Church House has been used as the base for the Calne Food Bank until it was enabled to move to independent premises nearby (making use of a vacant café). Church House is the place of administration for the parish. But over the past year the parish administrator has needed to work from home. The building is overseen by the parish buildings group. Whilst no buildings works have taken place during the pandemic period the back gate has been replaced in 2021 by members of

4.

the buildings group.

Pastoral Care and nurture

In addition to members of the congregations in each church offering general support to each other, the parish also has a number of Lay Pastoral Assistants. These are trained and supported on a deanery basis and are responsible to the parish clergy. There are currently 13 LPAs who are active in the. Their role is multifarious and includes: taking Holy Communion to the sick and housebound, visiting nursing homes and leading worship in them; sharing in the preparation for baptism, confirmation and marriage; visiting the bereaved; schools support and working with children and young people; offering a ministry of prayer for healing and wholeness. Once again the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the ways in which the LPAs have been able to exercise this ministry especially as home visiting has not been possible. Most support has been give via the telephone and internet.

Social and community Events

Very few of these have been possible. CAMEO (Come and Meet Each Other) would normally meet monthly on a Friday afternoon in Church House providing a social occasion for a number of people who live alone. Once again support has been given remotely. The Cameo team has organised deliveries of ‘celebration food’ to people needing to shield or self-isolate on a number of occasions e.g. at Christmas and Mothering Sunday.

Mission and Evangelism

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. Activity has been much curtailed and some of it has needed to move on-line. Some of those would attend Messy Church, Parents and Toddlers and the children’s club have attended the Zoom ‘All-Age’ worship on Sunday mornings. The Calne Food Bank has been of central concern. The impact of the coronavirus has seen a three-fold increase in the uptake of food parcels and members of the congregations have been active as volunteers. As a parish we seek to support the work of other agencies working beyond the parish boundaries: Christian Aid, The Sudan Fund, The Doorway Project, Bible Society, Dorothy House Hospice, Calne Community Transport, the Children’s Society, the Open Blue Bus and the RBL Poppy Fund. The concerts and community activities that would normally take place within our churches have not been able to take place.

In September, the 3 churches of the parish participated in the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust ‘Ride and Stride’ event. There was strong participation from all ages in the parish and a record fund raising total of £1,283.00 was achieved. £641.50 came back to the parish and several participants received awards.

Buildings’ and Friends’ groups

Each church in Calne and Blackland parish has its own ‘Friends’ group’ which raises funds to help maintain and improve the fabric of the building concerned. In addition, each church has representatives on the Parish Building Maintenance Group to monitor the need for repair and refurbishment. We were fortunate to appoint a new parish architect, Chedburn Codd, at the beginning of 2020 and during the year they carried out the Quinquennial inspection of St Peter’s church, Blackland. There remains uncertainty about the structural stability of the building.

The day of the Civic service at St Mary’s church in February 2020 coincided with a major storm and gale strength winds. In consequence one of the pinnacles on the South Chancel roof was blown-off doing damage to the roof below. This has now been repaired under the PCC’s insurance cover for the church and the architects’ supervision.

Holy Trinity churchyard is now closed for new burials. Following consultation with the community and local authority the Ministry of Justice granted closure of the bulk of the churchyard. Around an acre of the site cannot be closed for legal reasons and therefore the maintenance remains the responsibility of the PCC. The Calne Town Council has agreed to carry out the maintenance of the closed sections, liaising with the PCC to ensure a co-ordinated approach. It is planned that the maintenance is carried out with due regard to the importance of the churchyard as a living environment and a home to wildlife. It remains the PCC’s intention to create a new area for the interment of ashes with a memorial garden in due course.

The tarmac around Holy Trinity church which was causing damp problems inside the building has now been replaced with better draining material. This was made possible through the fund raising of Friends of Holy Trinity Church (FOHTC) with the additional assistance of a grant from Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust which is supported by the annual ‘Ride and Stride’ event each September.

Nurture

It is seen as an important aspect of our aims and objectives to provide opportunities for nurture for children and adults at different stages along their Christian journey. Prayer and study groups have been meeting remotely on-line. A Bible Book Club was established encouraging people to read various books from the bible (Mark’s gospel, the Book of Ruth and the Psalms in 2021). There has been follow-up discussion on-line. During Lent 2021 people joined in with members of other churches from the Calne Partnership of Churches reading the Archbishop’s Lent Book ‘Living His Story’ together and using it as a starting point to consider evangelism.

Ecumenical relations

The parish is committed to working with other Christians in the town. We are formally represented on The Calne Partnership of Churches which meets regularly for prayer and worship and to work together in various aspects of mission e.g. The Calne Food Bank, ‘The Open Blue Bus’ (a youth project which has had to be suspended during the past year). There was an on-line Prayer Day for Pentecost in 2020. The Partnership of Churches has also prepared on-line worship together for the Festivals of Christmas and Easter. The ecumenical ‘Open the Book’ Team has continued to share bible stories on-line with local schools. There is also a praying group “Heart for Calne” which meets regularly to pray for the town and its people, and this includes Christians who are not currently formally a part of the Calne Partnership of Churches. This again has needed to be conducted virtually.

Structure, governance, and management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Calne and Blackland PCC consists of the Team Rector and Team Vicar, 4 churchwardens, and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the parish. All those who attend our services/members of the different congregations are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. There are also 4 members of the Deanery Synod who are automatically included as members of the PCC.

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. The PCC meets approximately 6 times a year and each meeting is preceded by a meeting of the Standing Committee which involves the clergy, churchwardens and other church officers and PCC representatives.

Reserves Policy

The PCC does not currently have a specific reserves policy, funds are held in Endowment, Restricted and Unrestricted Funds, Unrestricted being split between Designated and the General Fund. The General Fund has only sufficient funds available for day to day needs and requires donations and other generated income to maintain a balance. Designated funds are funds set aside for specific planned projects; allocation can be changed to take account of a particular need. A Designated reserves (Holding) Fund (pending allocation) is included in the accounts. The PCC is committed to sound financial management.

Statement of PCC Members’ Responsibilities

The law requires PCC members to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Parochial Church Council of Calne and Blackland's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.

In preparing financial statements, Members are required to:

  1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

  2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  3. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practices have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

  4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Parochial

6.

Church Council of Calne and Blackland will continue in operation.

The members are responsible for keeping accounting records, for safeguarding the assets of the organisation and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities should they exist .

Activities of the parish reflected in the “Receipts and Payments” Account.

There has been some slight restructuring of the accounts to bring in line with current practice.

  1. The accounts are produced on the Receipts & Payments basis.

  2. Receipts relating to third parties (Fees for weddings and funerals due to the Diocese etc.) are recorded as Agency Receipts and as such do not show as part of Income and Expenditure etc. Related payments are processed in the same way.

  3. Due to the impact of Covid the Parish was unable to fulfill its obligation of £75,193 to the central fund of the Diocese of Salisbury. The underpayment of £25,193 caried forward to 2021, added to the £75,193 Share allocation for 2021.

  4. Parochial Fees of £1068 due to the Diocese for the last quarter were outstanding at the 31[st] December (paid 2021).

  5. Due to the Covid restrictions receipts relating to Giving have been received in various and new ways, online giving via our website, contactless giving, cheques, and envelopes, Parish Giving Scheme. We are grateful to all who have continued to support our Parish Mission.

Receipts from all planned giving £52,389 (£56,442 – 2019).

  1. Other giving receipts £3,651 unrestricted, £1,393 restricted. (£15,209 total 2019).

  2. Donations received £5,894 unrestricted, £3,517 restricted. (£18,505 total 2019).

  8. Utilities 3 churches (gas, electric, water) £6,803 (9,701 2019)

  9. Church House running costs £2,419 (£4,032 2019)

  10. Salaries, wages, Honoraria £10,901 (12,759 2019)

  11. Upkeep of Holy Trinity Church Yard £2,297 (£10,133 2019)

  13. Prior to the formation and Charity Registration of the Calne Foodbank income (donations) and expenditure were handled on their behalf through an Agency Account and the Parish current account are therefore not included in the shown in the Parish Accounts for the year. Once established the remaining balance of £1,403 was transferred to the Charity.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of St Mary’s and Blackland Parochial Church Council

It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

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 the management committee concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention

  1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

John Watt.
