Trustees Annual Report for 2020 (January 1 to December 31, 2020)

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary's Church, Richmond with

St Michael and All Angels Church, Hudswell

Aim and Purposes

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Richmond with Hudswell is responsible for co-operating with the incumbent, the Rector of Richmond, in promoting the ecclesiastical parish and the whole mission of the Church, liturgical, evangelistic, pastoral, social and ecumenical to the people of the town of Richmond and the village of Hudswell.

The Wider Church

The Parish of Richmond and Hudswell is part of the diocese of Leeds with Rt Rev Nicholas Baines as the Diocesan Bishop of Leeds. The parish, which is in the episcopal area of Ripon under the Bishop of Ripon, Rt Rev Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, has continued to operate at local level particularly through Deanery Synod and Clergy Chapter.

Objectives and Activities

Our vision is to be a people and a place where love works.

Activities

The worship of the churches has continued and developed, based on regular mainly eucharistic worship of the churches with the addition of non-eucharistic services particularly directed to all ages from young to old. Within our worship, retired and visiting clergy together with our team of Readers provided a major contribution.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of the parish communities. 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 the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

Consistent with the Commission's guidance on public benefit, in particular the specific guidance for the advancement of religion, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of the parish communities through worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus; and contributing to the provision of pastoral care for people living in or visiting the parish.

Achievements and Performance

Worship and Prayer

We continue to welcome all who wish to attend at our regular services. The regular worship of the churches in the parish and benefice continued in the established pattern, including services on all Sundays and major feast days and some weekdays. The normal pattern is that on Sundays, the 8am Eucharist continues to use the Book of Common Prayer (1662) pattern, the 10am Eucharist mainly using the Common Worship pattern in modern language, with (in most months) an all age Eucharist on the third Sunday. On the second Sunday Choral Evensong is held at 18:30 with the church choir and on occasion other singers. On the fourth Sunday of the month there is all age non-eucharistic worship in “Fun-Key Church”. Directed particularly (but not exclusively) for those with little previous contact with church, Fun-Key Church is held on Sunday afternoons. Other occasional church services include Free To Be, an occasional informal Sunday evening contemplative event concluding with Eucharist or Compline and Café Church, an informal meeting with refreshments, a speaker and discussion, concluding with Compline.

This normal pattern was disrupted by the Covid-19 lockdown starting in late March. All services in the church ceased during the strictest phase of lockdown restrictions. Sunday services continued, initially at 10:00 am on Sundays by Zoom with the priest broadcasting a celebration of the Eucharist from home. An addition to our services was a nightly Compline service by Zoom, which over the months widened to become a Deanery service and has as a regular member an anglican priest from near Greenwich.

As lockdown restrictions eased, the church was re-opened for private prayer and services in church were restarted, initially with just the celebrant and key lay people present to operate communications by Zoom and YouTube, with lay congregation returning over the following months. Church services continued to be “blended” - in person and circulated by Zoom and on YouTube throughout the remainder of the year.

St Mary's Church is the Parish Church of Richmond and we continued the positive relationship between the church and the local community, particularly as represented by the town council. With the pandemic restrictions the usual civic service to welcome the Mayor of Richmond and St George's Day service by the Fellmongers did not take place in 2020.

The Chapel of the, now disbanded, Green Howards (formerly the 2nd Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment) is in St Mary's Church and they are included in a brief act of remembrance before the start of the main service each Sunday. The military connection is maintained by St Mary's normally hosting a Remembrance Day parade service including army representatives of units based at Catterick Garrison and the annual Green Howards Association service. Because of the pandemic restrictions this did not happen in 2020.

The Rector's involvement in the community includes being trustee of various local charities, acting as chaplain to Richmond Town Mayor, the leader of Richmondshire District Council, the Company of Fellmongers and to the Green Howards Association.

St Michael and All Angels Church has now formally been closed and proposals for the Diocese to sell to building for use as social housing are under way.

As well as our regular worship and other community services, we enable our communities to celebrate and thank God at milestones through life. In Baptism we thank God for the gift of life and welcome new members into the church, in weddings, public vows are exchanged with God's blessing in the establishment of new families, and in funeral services family and friends express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and commend the person to God's keeping. During 2020, even though such events were limited because of pandemic restrictions, we celebrated 2 Baptisms, and 1 Wedding ~~s~~ and held 58 Funerals.

Once the strictest level of lockdown was lifted, the Church was opened for Covid-safe private prayer so far as possible during daylight hours, even before services in church were resumed.

Buildings and Fabric

The Quinquennial Review in 2019 had noted that work on gutter and roof maintenance and pointing were required. An investigation on repointing over the East window was carried out.

Following the problems to the heating system caused by pipe corrosion, further remedial work on the boiler system has been carried out.

A CCTV has been installed and has been effective in reducing petty theft.

The new AV system was successfully installed and is in use, particularly effectively in relaying services from the church to members of the congregation by Zoom and YouTube.

Other matters included that a mouse infestation was dealt with; repairs to the organ were carried out and that the weathervane was regilded and refixed.

Matters identified for future action included work on the guttering, flagpole and lightning conductor (a quotation for an annual inspection of the gutters will be sought); work is needed

to repair some pointing and to provide an apron on the West window (at an estimated cost of £2200); the roof over the South Porch needed repair; and the font hood and pulley system should be checked to ensure safety.

Steps to make St Mary’s church as Covid-safe as practical included, providing signage on Covid-safe attendance; sanitizer stations; a box of masks (if people forgot their own); and a signing in system to assist Track and Trace if required.

For St Michael and All Angels Hudswell, the church windows were repaired and a process to move the bell from the church (then in St Mary’s) to Cranstone were put in hand.

Richmond Deanery Synod

The Rector and three lay members of the PCC are members of Richmond Deanery Synod (which covers the most northerly part of the diocese - mainly Swaledale and the area to the East towards the A19 south of the River Tees). The Rector has continued as Area Dean for the Richmond Deanery. Deanery Synod is the lowest of the tiers of Synodical Government of the Church of England and provides for direct representation of parishes in Synodical Government.

During 2020 Synod met as usual in February, but Covid restrictions caused the cancellation of the June meeting and the October meeting was held by Zoom.

At the February meeting (before the first Covid lockdown) the Area Dean reported that lay and clergy representation on Synod will be reviewed after elections due this year; that there are vacancies in the East Dere Street and Wiske benefices; and that appointing Chalice Assistants has been simplified.

Given that “we seem to be running to stand still” the Area Dean suggested that we use 2020 for Consolidation. The Diocesan Strategy is the outcome of much effort (sometimes seeming to go backwards) and Bishop Helen-Ann asks us to take on the Strategy and adapt it to our context. Using this year for Synod to discern the focus for the future seems sensible.

The idea of a deanery pilgrimage possibly for 2021 was seen as a good idea and the Standing committee will bring proposals forward.

The October meeting took place on Zoom and the Area Dean noted that the vacancy for the Wiske benefice has given three applicants and that East Dere Street had been advertised with a closing date later in the month. The Lower Teesdale Court case yielded a not guilty verdict but the incumbent was still suspended pending review by the Diocesan Safeguarding Office.

A report on the Diocesan Synod noted largely technical business on budgets and similar issues and included a report back from the General Synod one day Zoom meeting to deal with essential business and amend rules to enable votes on Zoom for things like budgets.

The experience of various churches during the lockdown and post lockdown periods was expressed - some found Zoom or similar useful, others did not. The payment of Share was a particular concern.

The Area Dean suggested we might be able to share with each other better through a deanery web site. Comments includes that the web site is kept simple with links to other social media and that a web site would need someone maintain it

In 2020 there were no issues requiring specific referral for general discussion at the PCC.

Pastoral Care

Historically, the Pastoral Team met quarterly. Pastoral care takes place in many ways across the church and into our community e.g. with practical assistance from The Happy Bodgers, bereavement support through After The Cards and individually, prayer support via the Prayer Circle and pew sheet, listening, visiting and home communion. During lockdown, pastoral care was enhanced to ensure contact with the congregation and wider community to ensure

that help could be effectively provided with the restrictions of lockdown. In the Autumn, a revised structure was put in place with a number of group leaders having the role of actively maintaining contact with their group from the wider congregation and acting as contacts for the general community and advising the ministry team, particularly through the Curate, of needs that became apparent.

Education

The links with the CofE Primary school, now re-named as Trinity Academy Richmond, and St Francis Xavier School continue to grow. Work during the year was dominated by the effects of the pandemic and the need to support pupils and staff over a very difficult period.

The Diocese of Leeds part funds the school chaplain, Rachel Ross Russell at SFX. The Rector (from his Induction) is a Foundation Governor of SFX and of Trinity Academy Richmond and other PCC members and members of St Mary's congregation are also governors at these two schools.

Mission and Evangelism

The mission of the Church is in part provided through the regular worship and work of the clergy and laity of the parish including the PCC. Support for the activities of the Church elsewhere was more restricted than usual, with the Christian Aid week collection being cancelled. The monthly ‘Charity of the month’ voluntary retiring collection was continued, but on a much more restricted basis than usual with only about £500 being raised and disbursed to support both British and international charities. Members of the Congegation were, however, encouraged to give directly to each supported charity theough its own website.

The Church, through the clergy, provide chaplaincy services to the local Police, and (as noted above) a local primary school. Representatives of the Church are trustees of local Charity Trusts and are members of the local councils, Town and District.

Ecumenical Relationships

The formal organisation Christians Together in Richmond was wound up some years ago, although most joint activities in the Richmond Christian communities continued much as before. Activities in 2020 were heavily constrained by pandemic restrictions. Lent groups were started, but curtailed by the first lockdown, though efforts to continue the study groups online using Zoom were modestly successful.

Richmond Churches continued to provide food contributions for the StoreHouse foodbank.

Other Groups and Organisations

For practical purposes, the other groups and organisations ceased to actively meet once lockdown came into effect. This particularly applies to the Bible study, “After the Cards”, “Knit2gether”, Monday morning Toddlers and Little Rainbows groups, the Mothers Union (after it’s new year meeting in January) and St Mary’s Women's Fellowship. Despite Coronavirus restrictions many of the groups sought to maintain contact by telephone.

When the pandemic restrictions were lifted the Bellringers returned to support worship, initially with as few as 4 bells, before the main Sunday service and for some other services.

A Community and Fundraising Group continued, but with very restricted activities.

Community Links

The usual concerts and other events held in St Mary's church did not happen in 2020 because of pandemic restrictions.

The Rector and churchwardens serve as trustees of the Thompson’s Hospital Charity which is in the process of being closed down.

Safeguarding

Within the church family, safeguarding has been actively pursued for many years, in line with Diocesan guidelines. The Covid pandemic largely prevented further enhancement of the training of church members on safeguarding.

Financial Review

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £112307. Restricted income amounted to £22380.

Planned giving (including through envelopes, bankers orders and donations made using charity accounts) was £61315, 5.7% higher than in 2019, non-planned giving through collections was £5052, 69% lower than in 2019. Income Tax recovered through Gift Aid was £22124 (including some from cash collections under the GASDS scheme), an increase of 69% on 2019. Income Tax refunds now include some Gift Aid recovery from cash collections.

The main item of expenditure was (as usual) Diocesan Share. The impact of the pandemic on o u r funds meant that we were unable to pay Share in full. In the event £66848 was paid representing 70% of the assessed amount of £95497 which was 5.2% (£4680) higher than in 2019. Parish Share provides the main part of the income to the Diocesan budget, in which the main expenditure is on the provision of stipends, pension contributions, training and housing for the clergy of the Diocese. Parishes in the Diocese contribute Share roughly in proportion to the number of the Adult Worshipping Community and an assessment (from government statistics) of the economic standing of the general community.

The net result for the year is that, mainly because of the partial payment of Share, there was, largely because of the underpayment of Parish Share of £28649 an excess of receipts over payments of £7908 on unrestricted funds (allowing for the Share underpayment equivalent to a deficit of £20741). On restricted funds there was an excess of payments over receipts of £22825 (mainly completion of payment for the AV system).

Including bank and deposit balances the balance of unrestricted funds at the end of 2020 was £75229 a nominal increase of £9400 (14.2%) (but excluding the underpayment of Share. By the end of the year, the value of investments (in restricted and unrestricted funds) was £70895, an increase of £4430 (6.7%) a s compared with the end of 2019.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to aim to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds approximately equal to three months unrestricted payments corresponding to about £30000, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £75229 held in unrestricted funds at the year end formally meets this target. On a day to day basis, the PCC tries to maintain cash balance of about £25000 to enable direct payment of incoming bills. A deliberate decision was made not to immediately liquidate longer term investment assets to maintain liquid funds because of the (hoped temporary) substantial reduction in investment values at the start of the pandemic.

The balance of £2794 in the Fabric (restricted) fund is retained to cover the cost of repairs and maintenance of the church building.

Investments are generally held in Church of England Funds.

Volunteers

The role of the parish church would be significantly reduced but for the many volunteers (about 100 individuals many with multiple voluntary roles), who regard their contribution as their witness of faith. They demonstrate their realisation of the importance of the sustainability of the mission and witness of the Church within the communities of Richmond and Hudswell. Apart from the Rector and Curate every key post on the PCC was staffed by volunteers including Lay Vice chair, Churchwardens, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary and

Team Leaders. In worship, volunteers assist in many ways, notably Readers, musicians, servers, lesson readers and intercessors. Our worship and other activities are supported by voluntary cleaners, caterers and gardeners.

Structure, Governance and Management

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (the Rector of Richmond), the churchwardens of the two churches, the readers, three members of Deanery Synod elected in 2020 (for 3 year terms) further lay members elected for three year terms by respective Annual Parochial Church Meetings (APCMs). There may also be co-opted members.

All who regularly attend our services or are members of our congregations are encouraged to be registered on the electoral roll of the parish and to take part in the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and to stand for election to the PCC. Exceptionally, in view of the Coronavirus lockdown and subsequent restrictions, the Annual Vestry Meeting (AVM) - to elect Churchwardens - and APCM were delayed, as provided by an Instrument under Section 10 of the Churchwardens Measure and Rule 78 of the Church Representation Rules signed by the Bishop of Leeds, and held in “blended” form from St Mary’s church (with a Zoom relay) on 15 November 2020.

As of the APCM there were 141 people on the electoral roll - a reduction of 2 from the reported figure for 2019, 18 of whom lived outside the parish.

The PCC members are responsible for taking 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 full PCC met for ordinary meetings on 6 occasions in 2020 (2 in person and 4 by Zoom) with an average attendance of 15 members.

Given the wide range of responsibilities in a benefice of this size, the PCC has a number of committees/teams which look after particular areas. These committees, which include Finance, Estate, Worship, Charitable Giving, Fund Raising, Communications and Pastoral teams, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly at PCC meetings on what has been discussed, make recommendations to the PCC for decision and action, and confirm completion of actions previously authorised by the PCC.

Administrative Information

St Mary's Church Richmond is the parish church of the town of Richmond and is situated on Station Road, Richmond.
