Finance Report for 2023 (Gerda)

Gerda expressed her thanks to Glen Knight for his work as covenant secretary. Glen has stepped down from this role after a long period of service. The Parish Share of £31137 was paid in full. Mission Giving went well in 2023 with a budget of £5713 being able to be fully distributed. Restricted incomes have been regularly received for both the building fund and the organ fund and monies are received twice a year from a family settlement fund. The cost of the music licence has reduced to £380. Budget wise we are looking at a deficit of £16,715 against scheduled income (see Gerda's report in The Annual Report.) John Hudson is willing to continue as the examiner of the accounts. Rev Alan thanked Gerda for managing the church finances.

week by week.

Mission Links

Rev Alan stated that St George's were actively in touch with our mission links. Andy and Kati Walsh from CMS, Malina who is the Mara link diocese new representative and Patrick Ngigi our link for Mission with a Vision in Kenya.

Scouts

Brendan is taking "less of a role" as Scout leader. He has not yet fully retired from scout leading, so a presentation for him will wait until that future time.

Sunday Club

Sylvia Roper was presented with flowers as a thank you for her work as a Sunday Club leader since she is stepping down from this role.

Any Other Business

Jennifer Sutcliffe raised the question of how sustainable having three buildings is and how does it impact on our mission. Jennifer would like this discussing by PCC in the 24/25 PCC year. Rev Alan stated that the rent paid for the house usage (by SGCT) helped in this.

David Sutcliffe enquired of the current situation regarding the collapsed wall in the church yard. Charles Gear stated that the claim was currently with the loss adjusters since the architect had stated that the wall structure was good. Charles is awaiting a reply (this is the second time the claim has been with the insurance company, as it was turned down the first time) The wall is safe.

Rev Alan thanked persons for attending. The next APCM is scheduled for Sunday 27 April 2025, in St George's Church after the morning service.

Priest in Charge Report

I have now been Priest in Charge of St George’s Church Ovenden for 5 years. I would like to thank all those who contribute to our worship each week and support the on going running of our church, including but not limited to; my ministry team colleagues, our Churchwardens, PCC Members and Deanery Synod Reps, the music group, children’s group leaders and all who lead intercessions and Bible readings.

Trinity Church continues each week in Trinity Academy and working with the Chaplain in the school we have made contact with a number of pupils over the past two years. If you know pupils at the school through your extended family network please do mention this to them as it is a great way for the work of our church to extend into the school.

In autumn 2024 I joined the North Halifax Open the Book Team and it has been a joy to join with them in telling Bible stories in Bradshaw Primary and Abbey Park Primary schools. There is an opportunity to extend that work into Lee Mount Primary School. Please consider if you could join the team for this important work.

Also back in October we began our ReWeave Together journey. This is a 3 year training course run by the Diocese of Leeds seeking to help us to understand ourselves better and engage more meaningfully with the community we serve. You may already have experienced some elements of the program such as Dwelling in the Word, or our Parish Timeline event held in November. Many thanks to our parish team who have been attending meetings and gathering information over the past few months. In the summer we will be running another event for the whole congregation to think about what we can learn from all the information gathered.

At the start of this year some of us began reading the Bible in a year together. This will continue and I invite those who didn’t get started to in January to join where we are now.

Rev’d Alan Maxwell

PCC SECRETARY REPORT

PCC have continued to meet regularly and have fulfilled our usual functions of governance over property and finance. PCC has sent representatives to Deanery Synod, St. George’s Community Trust (SGCT) and North Halifax Churches Together (NHCT).

Matters overseen by PCC have included the ongoing matter of the placing of The Commonwealth War Graves Plague and an application to The British Heart Foundation for a defibrillator. The application was successful, however the BHF only provided unlocked ones, which PCC deemed unsuitable.

The processing of the burial of ashes has been a matter for PCC this year, regarding both the process of doing this and a policy for the keeping of the garden of remembrance in general. Persons wishing to enquire of this should contact the Incumbent/Priest in Charge. The making of the policy for the keeping of the garden of remembrance is an ongoing process. It should be noted that in St. George’s case reference to the garden of remembrance means the row of plots in the churchyard where ashes are/can be buried.

PCC approved Rev. Glenn Roper and Jennifer Sutcliffe continuing in their ministries as a Reverend and a Lay Reader respectively.

The read the Bible in a year project and the Reweave course are currently on going.

I am pleased to state that The Parish Share was paid fully in 2024 and monies have been given generously donated to charities by The Mission Team.

May I express my thanks to all who have served on PCC this year and to all who contribute so much to the life of St. George’s Church, both in Sunday services, in our membership of the wider church family and our service and outreach to our community.

Philip Ashworth PCC Secretary (minutes)

St George’s Buildings Report for year ending December 2024

This report is a brief summary of the many building repairs and maintenance tasks undertaken throughout the year. 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, Wardens 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.

The 5-year Quinquennial Inspection of the church building took place in 2018 and again in 2023. The executive summary is shown below

Notes on above:

Early 2025

  1. Remedial work on the church roof has been arranged

  2. Repairs and cleaning of guttering has been arranged

  3. Repair of pointing around the split guttering on south side has been arranged

6

CHURCH

We continue to check and take action to avoid slippery paving at the entrance gates under the trees. The church boiler was serviced in spring 2024

The church clock had its annual service in 2024

Lighting inside church is checked regularly along with the emergency lighting system

Regular weekly cleaning is by four teams on a rota

Internal decoration was completed throughout in 2022. A much-needed improvement all round. A job well done. There is serious deterioration evident in at least 3 areas of the plasterwork at high level on the south facing walls and down the vestry steps. Urgent roofing repair work has been organised. Neglect will only lead to either ‘dry rot’ or/and the risk of plasterwork collapsing on to the pews.

CHURCH HALL

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

The second room heater, (the one near the toilets) was replaced 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, and still looks good.

ST GEORGE’S HOUSE and HOUSE GROUNDS

Some roof work is urgently required at high levels including clearing of valley gutters and fall pipes. This is starting to affect internal plasterwork especially in the attic rooms and should not be ignored. This is an urgent matter. Quotes for these works have been obtained.

Gutters/fall pipes facing the park should also be replaced.

Vandalism damage occurred to Parkinson Room double glazed windows and one is still boarded over

Clearing of leaves and scraping mud off the paving was completed thanks to volunteers work, also7 the clearing of a shrubbery between the hall and house.

Both Central Heating boilers have required remedial work to keep them operational

1 hot water boiler in the kitchen, 2 gas fires upstairs and the cooker were last serviced in 2019

2 Gas fires in the Parkinson Room seem to be well beyond their sell-by date and advice needed whether to be replaced or disconnected.

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

The CCTV to the house is being replaced by a system which has been obtained by Saint Georges Trust.

ALL THREE BUILDINGS

An electrical installation safety check was completed in 2023. Digital copy of the electrical inspection is outstanding. Annual checks and servicing have taken place for –

Fire Fighting equipment (4 Fire Blankets and 23 extinguishers) – annual services completed January 2024, Intruder Alarms fully serviced in February in Feb 2024,

Emergency Lighting was tested in all three buildings in December 2024.

St George’s House Fire Alarm control panel and system were annually serviced in Feb 2024

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

There is a question as to whether the dial out systems on the three alarms will still operate when the phone lines are changed by the telephone companies from analog to digital. Investigations ongoing.

Smart Water – all items of value have previously been marked and log book updated to a CD

GRAVEYARD

A section of boundary wall between the graveyard and the adjacent private property to the south side of church collapsed in 2023. The wall is still to re-build. Discussions with the diocesan architect, church wardens and ecclesiastical insurance regarding the repair of the wall took place. The result being that ecclesiastical insurance will not contribute to the repair of the wall. Saint George’s will have to cover the rebuild costs. An inspection of the boundary walls has been undertaken by the architect and he has highlighted that a section starting approximately from the the graveyard for 30m will require rebuilding.

The three instances of boundary wall collapsing in the last few years highlights the need for constant vigilance of all our walls and remedial action to prevent further collapses adjacent to public footpaths

There are safety concerns mainly caused by trees planted too near the back of the walls.

  1. Lilac Street, from the House to the rear church entrance gate some of which retains the graveyard.

  2. The high wall on the park side of St Georges House is leaning, again being affected by the big trees behind it

  3. The condition of the wall from the entrance gate towards the end of St George’s Road is deteriorating.

Leaf clearing is a major task each autumn. Grass has been cut regularly throughout summer and gardening tasks are ongoing. We are grateful to volunteers otherwise the graveyard would be well overgrown. The condition of graves and gravestones require regular checks for safety of visitors and those carrying out gardening/ground works.

We pray for God’s continuing guidance in all we do to maintain our buildings in good repair and thank Him for 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 pedestrians alongside our walls along Lilac Street and St George’s Road.

Church Wardens

North Halifax Churches Together Report

The annual carol singing took place at Morrisons on 21 December. £160 was raised, in an hour's singing. This was equally divided between The Happy Days Food Bank and Project Colt.

The annual churches together service for the week of prayer for Christian Unity was held at Illingworth Moor Methodist Church on 19 January.

The 2025 Lent Course was hosted by St Malachi's Roman Catholic Church. This years theme for the studies was based on the hymn "And can it be" by Charles Wesley.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Our Common Fund for 2024 was £29,580 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.

Our missionary giving is as described below. Page 14 of the report gives full details of all income received in 2024 and all expenditure on page 15. This includes £6891 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 £1742 was received for the envelopes/loose monies which we were able to claim making the total we received £8631. This will help boost church finances from HMRC (1st April – 31st March). The church year runs from 1st January – 31st December. This is a reduction of £776 on the previous year and I see this reducing again next year.

GIFT AID DONATIONS

Gift Aid (HMRC Refund) – donations continue to be given for the Building Fund. The generosity of our church members who pay tax where we can make a claim from HMRC helps to boost church funds. No Gift Aid was claimed in respect of the Ladies Weekend.

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 Rev. Alan Maxwell and let him know. 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 2024 amounted to £5353 and was allocated as shown below. The giving amounted to £3431. We had insufficient funds to complete our Mission for C.I.C.S. and The Bible Society.

Mission money has been allocated as follows;

MISSON/SPECIAL APPEALS

We were able to send contributions of £1275 following special appeals in church, as outlined below:

LEGACIES

No legacies were received in 2024.

RESERVES

Our maintenance investment through the Church Board of Finance (CBF) is £16537. The PCC invested £10k from funds held in the Restricted Funds account from the A Dennison account. The £10k is funding for a Youth Worker but at this time this has not been implemented. 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.

9

COMMITMENTS IN 2025

Our overall commitments for 2025 amounts to around £62196. These include; Common Fund (£28,101), Mission (£5893), Insurance (£8871) church/hall utilities (£10,600), fire protection/alarm/pat testing (£1,100), clock maintenance cost (£0) ( £726 - 3yr contract 2024-2026), Music Licence (£425) along with the upkeep of three buildings and admin expenses. The Budget Sheet for 2025 is approximate as we have considered the rise in utility rates. The utility contracts for both our Electricity and Gas run until (Electricity 2025 and Gas 2026). A new contract for our electricity begins 1 Jan 2026 with EON Green Energy.

Our main anticipated income is approximately £58925 (based on 2024 income). This is made up from church giving, and includes £3120 Community Trust Rent, £6000 Playgroup Rent and approximately a Tax Refund of £8633. which means that we are looking at a deficit of £3271. 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.

We look at a deficit once again, but we have always managed to pay our way and I am sure the Lord will provide.

Finally, thank you from me to all that have helped this last year and continue to support in any way. If anyone feels they can help with counting the collection please have a word.

Thank you all for your support.

Gerda Normington Church Treasurer

Approved by the PCC on 26[th] April 2025 and signed by Rev. Alan Maxwell (Priest in Charge)

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF OVENDEN ST. GEORGES NOTES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] DECEMBER 2024

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 2024

Sunday Club runs every Sunday, except when Family Service on the first Sunday of the month. We have a strong team: Jill, Sharon and Christine were joined by Sue this year. Sue had been a helper, but was williing to becme a leader after Sylvia stepped down in 2023, having worked for a long time in Sunday Club.

We have really appreciated Sue’s hard work, decication and creativity. She has also found that she enjoys it, and has learned a lot! This is actually true for all the leaders: in preparing the sessions we often discover passages in the Bible that we either did not know or had forgotten about.

The helpers are Linda, Shirley, Tahlia, Carole and Joan. Joan and Carole became helpers in May and are both very supportive of all that we do.

We have three regular childen. During the year we have had other children, including two younger children who come occasionally. One week in December we had 7 children.

We have to plan activities suitable for younger and older children. Though the children always work well together. We use the Bubbles, Splash and XStream compendiums from Scripture Union. We find this material very good and can photocopy from the compendium. This year we also bought the Grid compendium which has good material for older children.

Jill was also able to photocopy some material from “Roots” which is useful too. So we have plenty of resources to choose from.

We often incude the story, a drama of the story, craft activities, colouring and activity sheets.

The stories this time have included Jesus healing different people, Palm Sunday, Jesus seeing his ddisciples after His resurrection, Barbabus and Saul, Revalation, David, Solomon, the Creation, the Flood of Jacob. We like to include material from both the Old and New Testaments. We always try and make these stories relevant for the childrenm, and to develop their faith.

In December, Christine once again presented a lovely costume Nativity with the children from Sunday Club with help from the team. She really is a star! There is also a creche agt the back of Church for very young children, which Christine oversees.

I 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. I will be moving this year so if anyone is interested in joing the Sunday Club team and doing this valuable work, please let me know.

Jill Coffey On behalf of the Sunday Club Team

10.00am Service report 2024

We give thanks for the Teams who serve at the morning service. For the Clergy Team – for Stuart and the Music Group – and for all those who Read and Pray. For our Service Wardens Tom and Christine. For the Team leading the Children’s work and for Lewis and Lynda who serve the coffee.

Our children are growing in numbers – and the older ones are now on the rota to help with the tea/coffee/washing up – a very pleasing sight.

We look forward to growing the church – to new horizons – and new challenges.

Gail Muff Morning Service Leader

Pastoral Team report 2024

The team continues to work behind the scenes. We support and encourage – as people go through their daily lives – with illness – or bereavement – and prayer and a listening ear are needed. May God Bless all in these difficult times.

Gail Muff Pastoral Team

7[th] St. George’s Scouts – Annual Report 2024

The group has grown with membership up slightly up on last year to around 55 members. This is mainly due to the group opening a Squirrel section based in Lee Mount School. 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. The focus of the group is to continue to increase in numbers across the group, but this is hampered by the challenge of increasing the number of leaders.

At present we have 5 sections : Squirrels: Monday Lee Mount School - Leaders: Dawn, Janet, Brendan. Beavers: Monday Church Hall - Leaders: Janet, Amy and Brendan Cubs: Tuesday Church Hall - Leaders: Graham, Ellie, Brendan, Emma Scouts: Wednesday Church Hall - Leaders: James, Graham, Brendan, Ellie Explorers: Wednesday Church Hall - Leaders: Graham

PJ steps in to lead Cub/Scout sections as family life allows. Mel and Sharron support and help when possible.

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 to Laser Quest and Go-Carting several times, which is a favourite activity.

Once again, the Beavers have had a busy year. We have worked on lots of badges covering: First Aid – how to deal with bleeding – scalds - bandaging and how to make a 999 call stating the location and patients details – Healthy Eating – how to look after ourselves, our diet and taking care of our teeth – Communication – sending coded messages to each other using radios and how to send text messages, and many more activities including our Christmas camp at Hebden Hay to join cubs, scouts, explorers and had lots of fun doing archery, caving, (all led by qualified instructors), crafts, a Christmas dinner and a visit from Father Christmas.

We took part in the Remembrance service at church and paraded with the British Legion. We have welcomed new members from our Squirrel group and hope membership will grow.

We enjoyed making pancakes and flipping them before the best bit of covering them in lots of toppings and eating then!!!

The Cubs and Scouts have been active again this year, completing the Science badge, which involved seeing how high they could get coke to fountain with the aid of Mentos, Growing Crystals and Creating Slime!! Cooking Pizza’s, Building Bridges out of Spaghetti, Tracking and Orienteering. The Police visited to explain their involvement in the community.

Cubs and Scouts attended a Summer camp under canvas at Rhydd Covert Scout Campsite (Kidderminster) for 5 days in July, completing a number of activities, among them axe throwing, shooting, orienteering and a visit to West Midlands Safari Park.

The group has awarded 223 badges across the sections, the cooking badge being a favourite, to name but a few completed this year, the Scientist, Hobbies, Physical Recreation, Community Impact where they went litter picking amongst other things.

We have also managed some fund-raising by bag-packing at Morrison’s over Christmas.

Well done everyone and keep up the good work up.

We would 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.
