**ST GEORGE’S CHURCH APCM – ANNUAL REPORT 2022** 

## **ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION (including structure, governance and management aims and objectives** 

## **Priest in Charge report** 

The start of 2022 was our first year clear of COVID restrictions, other than not sharing the common cup at communion. PCC made the decision to retain the practice of the priest intincting the wafer in the wine during the administration of communion. We are not the only parish to continue this practice with a recent poll of clergy suggesting that 35% of parishes are still doing so. 

Numbers attending our Sunday worship grew steadily during 2022 as more of our congregation returned to worshipping in person. We were joined by some more children who belong to our wider church family. We also welcomed residents for Lee Mount Care Home who are accompanied by a member of staff. 

The number of people attending Messy Church has been unpredictable over the year and some sessions were cancelled due to low numbers. As a result of the low numbers we asked families who had previously attended to fill in a questionnaire about what they liked and what could be improved on in Messy Church. As a result we changed the time to 10am on Saturday. 

Churches Together in North Halifax met several times and planned joint events including the Lent Course held at Lee Mount Baptist church and carol singing at Morrisons in December. 

Deanery Synod membership changed over the year as a number of local clergy retired or moved on to other posts leaving a number of vacancies in the Halifax and Calder Valley Deanery. Our Area Bishop, Jonathan Gibbs was appointed to a different role in June and his successor was recently announced. She will begin her role are our Area Bishop in September. Our Area Dean, Kathia Shoesmith moved on to a different Deanery and the post of Area Dean was vacant for several months before Robb Sutherland agreed to take up the post. 

We continue to play a part in the life of Lee Mount School and this year saw the return of school groups visiting church when a Reception Class came to visit. The past year also saw the school exploring the process of joining a local academy. On the 1[st] of Jan 2023 Lee Mount Primary School became part of the Impact Academy Trust, but the day to day working of the school have not changed. Some of our church members also visit the school to hear children reading and supporting other ways. 

Plans for links with Christ Church Pellon were explored, but were eventually cancelled. My role supporting Christ Church came to an end at the end of March 2023. Other local plans for pastoral reorganization are still to be considered. 

Many thanks to all who serve our church in many different roles including our Ministry Team, Church Wardens, PCC members, Deanery Synod Reps, Service Wardens, our Treasurer and all who help with money matters, Music Group, Messy Church team and Sunday Club volunteers, those catering and cleaning duties and in many other ways.

## **CHURCH ANNUAL  REPORT 2022** 

The Parochial Church Council consists of 2 annually elected Church Wardens, 3 Deanery Synod Representatives and 9 annually elected Council members each with link responsibility within the team structures as outlined below. The Standing Committee exists legally and has met on a couple of occasions through 2022.  (it has the power to transact business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC).  The Standing Committee are Vicar, two Wardens and Treasurer with the addition of Stuart Rushforth and Judith Robertshaw for 2022-2023. 

Priest in Charge Rev. Alan Maxwell Asst. Priest with PTO Rev. Glenn Roper Reader: with PTO Jennifer Sutcliffe Reader: Darrell Bishop Church Warden (and PCC): Charles Gear Church Warden (and PCC): Philip Ashworth Electoral Roll: Derek Woodfield Representatives (and PCC) Deanery Synod: Sharon Gear Deanery Synod: Judith Robertshaw Deanery Synod: Vacancy Pastoral Minister Gail Muff Pastoral Minister Philip Ashworth 

## **PCC - Elected Members** 

Gerda Normington (Church Treasurer) Brenda Thomas (6.30pm Team) Judith Robertshaw (Representative for Mission) Christine Hupalo (SGCT Rep) Jill Coffey (Messy Church) Stuart Rushforth (Music Leader) Tahlia Francis Gail Muff 

## **TEAMS** 

The Team structure have members of the PCC linked to other teams in church who would meet regularly to consider the various areas of Church life. 

## **SERVICE WARDENS** 

The service wardens fulfilled their role once again in a normal capacity. 

## **CHURCH ATTENDANCE** 

Since the church services resumed the average Sunday morning attendance counted during October 2022 was 50 adults and 6 children and the evening attendance was 12 adults. 

## **ELECTORAL ROLL** 

There are currently 67 on the electoral roll.  27 resident and 40 non-resident.  All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

## **PCC SECRETARY REPORT** 

PCC has continued to meet regularly and have fulfilled our usual functions of governance over property stewardship and finance and sending representatives to the meetings of Deanery Synod, St. George’s Community Trust and North Halifax Churches Together. 

In May PCC approved, with the exception of receiving communion wafers by dipping,the removal of all Covid restrictions.  Although if persons wish to wear face masks/use hand gel etc, then of course they may do so. In July PCC approved (agreed with) the suspension of the benefice by the diocese for a further three years.  This means that Rev Alan, or for that matter any other Priest who may succeed him, would work as Priest in Charge as opposed to an Incumbent.  PCC expressed their written concerns to the diocese in regards to Rev Alan’s beginning of ministry here being significantly effected by Covid restrictions.  However, overall, considering the financial state of the diocese we stated that “We did not object to this course of action”. 

3 



In January 2023 Rev Alan proposed a motion that St. George’s PCC accepted the lease for the renting of  St. George’s House to St. George’s Community Trust as was set out in the legal document that had been presented to PCC at the meeting of 26 September 2022.  All were in favour of this. 

In the process of clarifying matters for the lease it was noticed that the lease is between The Leeds Diocese and St. George’s Community Trust.  This is because a PCC isn’t of itself allowed to own property.  This in turn raised a broader question as to the ownership of St. George’s House following the money raised to “buy” the property.  In November 2022 the following was minuted copied from the original documents regarding this matter. Documents were presented regarding the matter of St. George’s House being bought by PCC.  This is because the understanding of what buying the house meant in reality has been something of a “grey” area. The documents stated that a Gift Weekend was held 11-13[th] May 1990 at which the total given and pledged was £68,834.51.  A document for Trustees regarding the sale stated the following: 

**“Ownership and Management –** Ownership of the property will be vested in the Wakefield Diocese Trust Fund (W.D.C.O.S.)  The management of the house will be the responsibility of the Parochial Church Council”. 

This would explain why the tenancy contract with SGCT claims The Leeds Diocese (having superseded The Wakefield Diocese) is the landlord of the property. 

PCC oversaw the purchasing of the new service books, which are a great improvement on the previous ones.  Thanks to Gerda for her work in this. 

**Philip Ashworth PCC Secretary (minutes) April 2023** 

## **Church Wardens and Building Report – March 2023** 

This report is a brief summary of the many building repairs and maintenance tasks undertaken throughout the year all within the limits of affordability.  Detailed descriptions and costs are not included here; further details are available through the Wardens, Treasurer and Church Council.  The Church Log Book is also updated annually by the Church Council. 

Overall responsibility for Buildings, Insurance and H & S rests directly with the Vicar, Warden’s, and Church Council. 

We are grateful for the number of volunteers who have undertaken practical tasks, maintenance and D.I.Y.  This is essential as part of church members’ contribution to maintaining and improving our buildings and grounds for a safe and pleasing environment **.  It is a struggle both in practical and financial terms to continue to maintain our 3 large buildings and extensive grounds.** 

## **CHURCH** 

The 5-year Quinquennial Inspection of the church building took place in 2012 and again in 2018.  Another Quinquennial inspection is due.  These Reports highlighted essential work on the church roof especially at high level. Several slates are missing, ridge tiles require re-pointing and all the gutters would benefit from clearing, especially the high ones. 

We continue to check and take action to avoid slippery paving at the entrance gates under the trees. The church boiler was serviced in September 2022. 

The church clock had its annual service in 2022. 

Lighting inside church is checked regularly, existing fittings are replaced with LED lights when possible. The emergency lighting system is checked regularly. 

Regular weekly cleaning resumed at the end of 2021 by four teams on a rota. 

Internal decoration was completed throughout in 2022.A much-needed improvement all round.  A job well done. 

## **CHURCH HALL** 

The kitchen hot water gas boiler, last serviced in 2019, is well beyond its life expectancy – seems to be working ok. The main room heater nearest the entrance was replaced in January 2023. 

The other of the two main room heaters, the one near the toilets, was replaced with new in 2019. We need to ensure hall users do not hang decorations or other flammable items above the 2 room heaters. The hall was redecorated in its entirety in 2021; a really good job was and still looks good. 

## **ST. GEORGE’S HOUSE and HOUSE GROUNDS** 

Some roof work is required at high levels including clearing of valley gutters and fall pipes. 

4 



Gutters/fall pipes facing the park would benefit from replacing. 

Vandalism damage occurred to Parkinson Room double glazed windows and one is still boarded over. The CCTV to the house is not operational and is no longer viable with its out-of-date cameras and technology system. A replacement CCTV is awaiting installation. 

The upstairs Central Heating boilers seem to be working satisfactory though it was last serviced in 2019. 

The downstairs boiler struggles at times with circulation, though the pipe work and radiators require flushing. The hot water boiler in the kitchen, four gas fires and the cooker were last serviced in 2019. 

Some trees bordering the church hall and house which pushed over a section of the wall have been removed. Rebuilding of the collapsed section has been arranged in accordance with the Architect’s instructions.  At the same time the coping stone at the entrance to the house will be refitted. 

All the trees in the grounds around the house are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (PTO). 

## **ALL THREE BUILDINGS** 

An Electrical Safety check together with provision of safety certificates for all three buildings was completed in 2013 by Dowslands Electrical.  These included the testing of 2 lightning conductors on the church and the house.  An electrical safety check is due. 

## **Annual checks and servicing have taken place for –** 

- Fire Fighting equipment (4 Fire Blankets and 23 Extinguishers) – annual service completed in January 2023. 

- Intruder Alarms fully serviced in February 2022 and again in February 2023. 

- Emergency Lighting tested in all three buildings, December 2022. 

- St. George’s House Fire Alarm control panel and system were annually serviced in February 2022 and again in February 2023. 

- All the above items should be compliant with current legislation. 

- All up to date certificates and licences are kept in St. George’s House. 

Intruder Alarm activations are programmed to call out Charles Gear, Stuart Rushforth and Alan Maxwell. Several false alarms were activated during the year and generally these could be avoided with a little more care. 

Smart Water  -  all items of value had previously been marked and the log book updated along with an upto-date CD. 

## **GRAVEYARD** 

The graveyard grass has been cut on a regular basis during the summer.  We also thank one of our neighbours, for his valuable assistance in strimming many of the graves and graveyard area. 

An Architect has carried an inspection of the boundary walls, it indicates that they are in a reasonable condition but require regular checking. 

Trees and gravestones are also checked on a regular basis. 

Leaf clearing is a major task each autumn.  Grass has been cut regularly throughout summer and gardening tasks are ongoing throughout the year. 

The condition of graves requires regular checks for safety of visitors and those carrying out gardening/ground works. 

## **OTHER ITEMS** 

We are grateful for the number of volunteers who have undertaken practical maintenance tasks, gardening, grass cutting, leaf clearing and D.I.Y. as well as premises cleaning. 

We pray for God’s continuing guidance in all we do to maintain our buildings in a good repair and thank Him for all the help from volunteers received during the past year. We also pray for the safety of all the users of our buildings as well as wise decisions on ways forward on the maintenance and use of our premises and the safety of the public using our premises and pedestrians alongside our walls along Lilac Street and St. George’s Road. 

In particular, we (the church wardens) greatly appreciate all the tasks and work which David and Tom undertake, without this our job would be very much harder. 

## **Churchwarden – (Charles Gear and Philip Ashworth) FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Our Common Fund for 2022 was £31,672 and was paid in full. 

This could not have been achieved without our church members being so committed to the running of the church.  I would like to give thanks to all, as this made sure we received monies to be able to pay our monthly commitments. 

5 



We did not contribute to any additional amount that the Diocese requests to help other churches who struggle to pay their share. 

Our missionary giving is as described below.   Page 11 of the report gives full details of all income received in 2022 and all expenditure on page 12. This includes £7408.23 from recoverable income tax thanks to Gift Aid donations from the congregation and we thank Glen Knight for all his time in submitting the claim on our behalf.  A further £2000 was received making the total we received £9408.23.  Glen advised that this can also continue in the future which will help boost church finances from HMRC (1st April – 31st March).  The church year runs from 1st January – 31st December. 

## **GIFT AID DONATIONS** 

Gift Aid (Tax Refund) – donations continue to be given for the Building Fund and Gift Aid was £45.00.  Gift Aid (Tax Refund) was received for the Ladies Weekend of 253.75.  Again, this reflects the generosity of our church members who pay tax and where we can make a claim from HMRC. 

## **NON-GIFT DONATIONS** 

Monthly donations continue to be received to the Church Organ fund.  These gifts are very much appreciated to carry out any work required.  The organ is serviced/tuned annually with these donations only. 

**For those that pay tax please bear in mind that should you no longer pay tax that you need to contact Glen Knight and let him know, especially when the tax levels change in July 2023. Any oversight lies with the giver and not the church to pay back to HMRC.** 

## **DONATIONS** 

We continue to receive donations twice a year from a ‘Family Settlement Fund’ which is allocated to the Restricted Fund account. 

Page 12 outlines our expenditure. 

## **MISSION** 

The budget from general income during 2022 amounted to £5555 and was allocated as shown below. 

Mission money has been allocated as follows; £1200   -    CMS (Andy and Kati Walsh) in Brazil. £1200   -    Mara £565     -    DEC Ukraine appeal £1200   -    Patrick Ngigi (Uniform project) in Kenya £365    -    Christians Against Poverty £370    -     Noah’s Ark £555     -    C.I.C.S. £100     -    Royal British Legion – Ovenden Branch 

## **MISSON/SPECIAL APPEALS** 

We were able to send contributions of £610.76 following special appeals in church, as outlined below: 

£270.76   -      The Children’s Society (2022) Christingle Service) £  40.00   -      Harvest -  Happy Days Ministries (help the Homeless) plus goods. £300.00   -      CMS at the request of our Independent Auditor by John Hudson (IE) re his fees. 

There was no collection for UNICEF via the Jars of Grace in 2022 but is in the calendar for November 2023. 

## **LEGACIES** 

No legacies were received in 2022. 

## **RESERVES** 

6 



Our maintenance investment through the Church Board of Finance (CBF) is £6,000.  These funds are required to support any major structural repairs on the church building. This is all we have in reserve in case of any emergencies. 

## **COMMITMENTS IN 2023** 

Our overall commitments for 2023 amounts to around £75043. These include; Common Fund (£31,137), Mission (£5713),  Insurance  (£7937)  church/hall  utilities  (£14,980),  fire  protection/alarm/pat  testing  (£1,090),  clock maintenance £0.00 (3yr contract 2021-2023) and no doubt the cost will rise next year, Music Licence (£756) along with the upkeep of three buildings and admin expenses.  The Budget Sheet for 2023 is approximate as we have considered the rise in utility rates.  The utility contracts for both our Electricity and Gas runs until (Electricity 2023 and Gas 2026). 

Our main anticipated income is approximately £54517 (based on 2022 income). This is made up from church giving, and includes £3000 Community Trust Rent, £6000 Playgroup Rent and approximately a Tax Refund of £9408. which means that we are looking at a deficit of £20,526.  We will have no major funds for desirable improvements, other expenses or building repairs other than that which has already been allocated or to be paid from the Restricted Fund account in respect of buildings. 

There has been a deficit for the past few years but we have always managed to pay our way and I am sure the Lord will provide. 

Finally, I would just like to say thankyou to all who have helped in anyway by being on the counting rota after services (still looking for more help with this), covering for me when not at one of the services and to Sylvia who helps with the banking.  Thank you for your support.

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF OVENDEN ST. GEORGES NOTES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

9 



## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The  financial Statements  of  the  PCC  have been prepared  under  the  Church  Accounting  Regulations  2006 in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the current Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015) using the Accruals basis. These have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 

_Endowment funds_ are funds, the capital of which must be retained either permanently or at the PCC’s discretion; the income derived arising from the endowment is to be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending on the purpose for which the endowment was established in the first place. 

Res _tricted Funds_ comprise (a) income from endowments which is to be expended only on the restricted purposes intended by the donor and (b) revenue donations or grants for a specific PCC activity intended by the donor. Where these funds have unspent balances, interest on their pooled investment is apportioned to the individual funds on an average balance basis. 

_Unrestricted Funds_ are income funds which are to be spent for the PCC general purposes. 

_Designated Funds_ are general funds set aside by the PCC for use in the future.  Project funds are designated for particular projects for administration purposes only.  Funds designated as invested in fixed assets for the PCC’s own use abated in line with assets’ annual depreciation charges in the SOFA.  Designated funds remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds. 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

Planned giving, collections and similar donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to use the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are reliably quantifiable. Dividends are accounted for when declared receivable, interest as and when accrued by the payer.  All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

## **RESOURCES EXPENDED** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due. 

All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) 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 inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.  Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. St George’s House and the Church Hall are shown at cost. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over four years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

Investments are valued at market value at 31[st] December 2022. 

Current assets are represented by cash at bank and in hand at the Yorkshire Bank Plc (known as Virgin Money) and the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.

## **SUNDAY CLUB REPORT 2022- 2023** 

Sunday Club has been running every Sunday, excepting family service on the first Sunday of the month.  This is the first year since Lockdown when Sunday Club has been running for the whole year (April to March). 

We have a strong team: Jill, Sylvia, Sharon and Christine are the 4 leaders who prepare the session; and Linda, Shirley, Tahlia and Sue are the 4 helpers. 

We have a group of 6 regular attenders, and recently 2 new younger children. 

The different ages of the children present some challenges to the team; but we have succeeded in presenting varied sessions which are suitable for all the children. 

We use the Bubbles and Splash  and X Stream Compendiums from Scripture Union.  We find this material very good and photocopy from the Compendium.  We usually include the story, a drama of the story, craft activities, colouring and activity sheets. 

The stories this time have included Jesus appearing to His disciples, stories about Stephen, Paul and Barnabus, The Psalms, Jesus healing people, the feeding of the 4000, and a story from Revelation. 

We always try and make these stories relevant for them, and develop their faith. 

In December Christine presented a lovely costume Nativity with children from Sunday Club with help from the team. At the beginning of 2023 Reverend Alan chose the same reading for Church services as the one for the Sunday Club session.  This has worked very well, because the congregation were looking at the same passage and sharing the same lesson. 

The stories were all from the New Testament concerned with Jesus’ healing and teaching some were parables. For Family Services this year (2023) Christine has organised activities at the back of church for adults and children to make the services more accessible for everyone. 

There is also a creche at the back of Church for very young children, which Christine oversees. 

Jill does the rotas and registers, and Sylvia orders the files, and is in charge of the money. 

We appreciate all the hard work that the team does to nurture the children who come to St. George’s with their families.  We all feel this is important work that needs to continue, even if some weeks we do not have many children. 

## **Jill Coffey On behalf of the Sunday Club Team** 

## **10am Service Report (2022)** 

We give thanks for the Teams who continue to support this service.  For the Clergy Team - for Stuart and the Music Group - for all who Read and Pray - for our Service Wardens, Tom and Christine - for the Group leading the Children’s work and for those who serve our coffee after the Service. 

We look forward to the coming year - to growing our Church – our Friendships – and our Faith.

## **Music Report (2022)** 

St. George’s Music Group have, over the last twelve months, continued to lead worship at both 10.00 and 6.30 services.  As always, the songs/hymns are chosen based on the readings of the day, so as to reflect the theme and Bible passages. 

Since returning to church following Covid, we have not, until recently, introduced any new songs I’m sure you will have noticed.  This was due to getting used to playing together once again and introducing the pre-recorded keyboard tracks which we have incorporated.  We hope this enhances the worship experience, even though we are all still learning and getting used to it, hence the occasional hiccup!  Please bear with us. 

15 



My thanks go out to both Dean and Joan, who take over leading on the occasions that I’m not aound.  I certainly could not manage without you.  Also, my thanks to all the group members, who week by week, bring their talents to this ministry. 

Finally, thank you for all the support, encouragement and positive comments throughout the year.  Much appreciated. 

God Bless 

## **Stuart Rushforth Music Leader** 

## **Pastoral Team** 

We continue to work behind the scenes – keeping contact with our Parishioners – with phone calls – letters – and prayers. There is still much illness about – and life is hard for many people – but we continue to Pray in Faith – and look forward to each new day.

## **Messsy Church Report 2022-2023** 

Messy Church has been varied this year.  We have had some good sessions, but we have had 2 sessions where no one came and 1 where only one lady and child came, so we did not run the session. 

After COVID some children who had been regular attenders are now much older and have lost interest.  We would like to see some regular families coming again.  We sent out a questionnaire to which 5 families responded and said they preferred a Saturday morning.  We ran the February 2023 session in the morning, and it was a good session with 5 adults and 8 children.  But in March no-body came.  We will run some more sessions on a Saturday morning and see what happens. 

We have a strong team, and we meet to plan usually every 2 months.   All the team are now from St. George’s apart from Pam from the Baptist Church.  Their helpers have not been able to come back since COVID because of health issues. 

The sessions are well planned with all the resources provided.  They include a story from the Bible, usually using a video, a song, a game, craft activities and food.  When the sessions were on a Saturday afternoon we provided a 2 course meal.  For the Saturday morning sessions, we are providing a snack.  Of course, it is free for people! Themes have included Easter, Jesus appearing to his disciples, God’s Love, a Summer party, the feeding of the 5000, Christ the King, Christmas, the Baptism of Jesus and the Good Samaritan. 

We would like to keep Messy Church going, and believe it is a good outreach to the communities of Ovenden and Lee Mount.  So, if you know of any local families, please do tell them about it.  We have a lot of fun!

## **7  th St. George’s Scouts – Annual Report 2022 – 2023** 

The group has grown with membership up slightly on last year to around 50 members.  We all feel at St. George’s Scouts that we like all the sections to get together as much as possible, helping to create a feeling of togetherness and community. 

In the last few years since covid, that has not always been possible because of the number of leaders we have lost. Sadly, we had to shut down our kayaking section with the loss of the Smith family Mike, Carol and their two daughters who ran the section for a long number of years and the group thanks them for their service. 

16 



We had to shut our Explorer section, although three that have stayed and help out with Beaver and Cub sections and attend Scouts.  P.J. and Liz have adopted twin, 2 year old girls and need to concentrate on the young ladies so Liz has stepped down to an occasional helper and P.J. is taking time out but hopes to return in the future. 

Graham was working away and could not make the meeting, but good news is that he will take up a new post nearer home and in May will be able to attend meetings.  Also, we have Ellie who I have got through her training and has recently received her beads from the County Commissioner denoting she is now a full leader – **Well done.** Ellie who is currently working with Cubs and Scouts.  We also have two more young females; Breezja has finished her training and is waiting to be passed off and will work with Scouts and Georgia has started her training and is looking to help at Cubs. 

At Beavers we now have Janet back full time and she has been helping out at Cubs.  Mel attends when shifts allow and Sharon a group occasional helper fills in whenever Mel is not there.  I attend all the sections meetings. It is with great pride that I can report that we have still been able to get out and about.  We have had several group outings.  The group went to CI adventure and did climbing wall, indoor caving and low ropes, a good time was had by all.  We have also been several times to laser quest and go carting which is a favourite activity.   We ran a summer club and managed to organize some kayaking and outdoor climbing. We had our last free camp on Shay Lane in September 2021. However, this year we have two camps planned – one a weekend at the end of April at Hebden Hey hostel where all the group can attend and a summer camp under canvas at Sherwood Forest for 5 days in July. 

Along, with a great deal of badges achieved, the cooking badges being a favourite, along with archery and climbing, community badge where they went litter picking amongst other things and some of the members have done all the badges needed to achieve the highest in their section, the **Chief Scouts badge** . 

We have also managed some fund raising, bag packing at Morrison’s over Christmas and we will be there again at Easter. 

We now feel with our leadership team growing that we are getting back on the right track and will be able to offer more activities indoor and out. 

Well done everyone and keep the good work up. 

We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at St. George’s for the support we receive from them, both practically and spiritually and for the interest in the work we all do with the young people.

## **SGC APCM 2023 – NHCT Report** 

In January 2023, St. George’s hosted the annual service after the week of prayer for Christian Unity for NHCT which was a good service. 

In Lent 2023 New Providence URC Church hosted the NHCT Lent course entitled ‘Restoring to life’ which involved talks/discussions based on some of the healings and miracles of Jesus.  It was really good to share in this with friends in other denomination churches at these meetings. 

In December 2022 the carol singing at Morrisons raised £285 which was split between the food bank at Ebenezer church and Project Colt.
