Trustees Annual Report for 2022 (January 1 to December 31, 2022)
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 has the responsibility of 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, which has been reestablished following Covid restrictions. This includes services on all Sundays and major feast days and some weekdays. 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. All age noneucharistic worship in “Fun-Key Church” has continued to prosper. Directed particularly (but not exclusively) for those with little previous contact with church, Fun-Key Church is held on Sunday afternoons once a month and is a significant part of our regular pattern of services. Choral
Evensong on 2nd Sundays has continued and developed with the church choir and on occasion other singers.
The wider range of additional church services has continued with 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.
St Mary's Church is the Parish Church of Richmond and we continued the positive relationship between the church and the local civic community, particularly as represented by the town council. As part of this, St Mary's Church again hosted a civic service to welcome the Mayor of Richmond and a St George's Day service by the Fellmongers. The church was also opened for a relay of the funeral service of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
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 was maintained by St Mary's hosting a Remembrance Day parade service including army representatives of units based at Catterick Garrison and the annual Green Howards Association service.
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, the Company of Mercers, Grocers and Haberdashers, the Richmond Branch of the Royal British Legion and to the Green Howards Association.
St Michael and All Angels Church, Hudswell was formally closed following resolution of the right of access across a privately owned field. Negotiations were ongoing to sell the building and land (but not the churchyard) between the Church Commissioners and the Hudswell Community Charity.
The regular worship of the Church continues to be greatly enhanced by the church choir, and the ad hoc choir, on third Sundays, at the “Worship for All”, all provided by volunteers. The “Worship for All” all age Eucharist continues following the pattern introduced in 2016.
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 2022 we celebrated 16 Baptisms, and 4 Weddings and held 25 Funerals in church and provided ministers for 12 funerals and cremations outside the parish.
We keep the Churches open for visitors and for private prayer during daylight hours and a votive candle stand has been provided to help this.
Buildings and Fabric
In relation to the heating system, the faulty lock to boiler room has been replaced, the boiler was serviced and corroded and fractured radiator piping replaced. More generally in the church building, the fire extinguishers were subject to an annual service, the gutters were inspected and cleared. Also the organ was serviced and tuned. We continue to transmit the principal services by Zoom and YouTube and more of the AV controls moved to the back of the church.
Richmond Deanery Synod
The Rector, three lay members of the PCC, and a lay diocesan synod representative 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). 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 2022 Synod met in February, June and October.
The February 2022 meeting considered membership of the Deanery Standing and Mission and Pastoral Committee, with the main business was a presentation and then discussion of the Diocesan Strategy for churches to become carbon net zero by 2030 ‘Saving Creation’ including 6 steps to Carbon Zero including a Toolkit via the Diocesan website for churches to help to achieve net carbon zero.
The main item at the June meeting was a presentation from Bishop Helen-Ann followed by discussion. The Bishop’s presentation emphasised the importance of two key things - the Incarnation and the Kingdom of God, particularly in a rural context. The commissioning phrases ‘will you persevere’ and ‘will you proclaim’ in Confirmation and Licensing services which remind us of our calling. She also reminded us that the last couple of years have shown that we can adapt and learn about each other. Adaptability is the key to living our lives according to the Gospel. How we live now gives a key to the future – we should ‘Be a good ancestor’ and not pass on traumas of the present to the future.
The October Synod covered a variety of topics including matters arising during emergence from Covid restrictions, the proportion of share payments for the year to date across the Diocese and Deanery, follow up on the Saving Creation presentation at the February synod, finding a successor to Steve Jackson as Synod lay chair, updates on business at Diocesan and General Synods and discussion around “sharing the common cup”.
In 2022 there were no issues requiring specific referral for general discussion at the PCC.
Pastoral Care
The Pastoral Team met every 6 weeks to consider those who need pastoral support and who will provide that support. 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. The team has supported the Service of Light which has been appreciated by those who attend. We review how the support we provide is as good and as helpful as it can be.
Education
The links with the CofE Primary School, Trinity Academy Richmond, and the joint CofE and Roman Catholic Secondary School, St Francis Xavier School (SFX), continue to flourish. The Rector sits on the local governing body of each school and members of our congregation are foundation governors at both of the schools.
At SFX we have continued to work closely with the school chaplaincy co-ordinator and we have seen the pupils increasingly involved in the creating and planning of activities and whole school worship. We have welcomed the pupils to services in St Mary’s and the rector and curate are regular visitors to the school. The Diocese of Leeds part funds the school chaplain at SFX. It has been a delight to witness the children growing in their personal faith and owning the ethos of the school.
At the Primary school, we conduct collective worship in school every Tuesday and the school community is welcomed at St Mary’s for special services and for visits throughout the year as appropriate. Since the last Ofsted report, the school is on a journey to substantial improvement but this has been a year of considerable leadership changes. We have continued to give support, and are looking forward to the next year when there will be greater stability and the opportunity for more rapid progress. The school is part of the Dales Academy Trust, a CofE Trust whose Members include the Bishop of Leeds and the Bishop of Whitby.
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 include providing distributors and collectors for the Christian Aid week collection around Richmond; the provision of Lent and Advent boxes to encourage support for, usually Church organised, charities and support for the Children's Society, including a Christingle service.
The monthly ‘Charity of the month’ voluntary retiring collection was continued successfully throughout 2022 raising about £500 (plus Gift Aid tax refunds) to support both British and international charities.
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 of the joint activities within the Christian communities in Richmond continued much as previously. Activities in 2022 included: Study of the Christian faith included well attended Lent Courses in various locations. There were Holy Week prayers in Holy Trinity and the Walk of Witness on Good Friday, following the Cross from the church in Newbiggin, around the Market Place, finishing outside Holy Trinity for the moving illustration of the nailing of the cross.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity included an Agape Meal and a united service in St Mary’s. Richmond Churches continued to provide food contributions for the StoreHouse foodbank.
Other Groups and Organisations
The activities of most of the other Groups and Organisations associated with St Mary’s were suspended or very limited during the previous two years. For most such groups activities have begun again after the Covid restrictions were completely lifted, though some groups deferred restarting until 2023.
A Thursday morning Toddlers Group continues to meet in the Methodist Church Halls catering for pre-school children and their adult carers. Refreshments and a warm welcome are provided by a team from Richmond Methodist Church and St Mary’s.
The Mothers Union continued as an active integral part of parish life with various events including (as The Belles of St Mary's) providing refreshments for parish events. After restrictions were lifted we had a belated Christmas party. Primulas were distributed on Mothering Sunday. We supported all the Mothers Union appeals, donated to the warm Hub at the Methodist Church (including members volunteering regularly) and the Colburn village hub. Christmas and Easter gifts were given to residents at the Beacon. The diocesan president and members of Catterick MU came to our Advent service in Church. Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth was patron of the MU and the branch put a Condolence book beside her portrait in church after she died.
The Bellringers continued to support worship, regularly ringing, usually with all 8 bells, before the main Sunday service and also for other services including a number of quarter peals for evensong. Notable events included ringing for H M The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and then later after the Queen’s death and before her funeral. For the latter, the bells were fully muffled, with the help of muffles borrowed from the Barton ringers, a tea-towel and a glove! None of us had rung fully muffled bells before as these are only used after the death of a monarch.
A book group has been set up and meets monthly to study various christian books.
Poetry and Puds meets monthly to reflect on a wide variety of poetry, with a bonus of puddings.
The group “After the Cards” meets on the 1st Wednesday of the month now in the Morro Lounge in Richmond Market Place to provide support for bereaved people.
The Ladies group meets on the last Friday of each month at the Morro Lounge in Richmond Market Place.
The Knit2gether Group, which has renamed itself “Yarns” has enjoyed another year of meetings at The Restaurant at Greyfriars, on Flints Terrace, Richmond on Friday mornings with a regular attendance of about 10, plus occasional visitors.
A Men’s Group has been established and meets on the evening of the first Thursday of the month in the Castle Tavern in Richmond Market Place.
The role of the Community and Fundraising Group has now been taken over by the Friends of St Mary’s.
Community Links
In addition to the links included above, within the broader community, concerts and other events were held in St Mary's by Richmond Choral Society, the Station Singers, the Swaledale Festival, Reeth Brass Band, The Richmond Books and Boots Festival, Richmond School, Trinity Academy Primary School and the Band of the Royal Armoured Corps.
Historically, the Rector and churchwardens served as trustees of the Thompson’s Hospital Charity which has now been fully closed.
Safeguarding
Within the church family, safeguarding has been actively pursued for many years, in line with Diocesan guidelines. Efforts are made to ensure that all taking part in, and particularly those organising, church activities are aware of their responsibilities and trained appropriately. Actions include featuring safeguarding on the home page of the church website; making information on appropriate contacts for anyone needing support more readily available; recording the roles undertaken by members of the congregation and identifying who has had safeguarding training and at what level, and/or DBS clearance. A team headed by the Safeguarding Officer keep track of all the relevant information via the Parish Dashboard (a Diocesan initiative ) and report to the PCC regularly.
Financial Review
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £128800 with restricted income being £2587.
Planned giving (including through envelopes, bankers orders and donations made using charity accounts) was £65441, 1.3% higher than in 2021, non-planned giving through collections was £9894, 7.8% higher than in 2021. Income Tax recovered through Gift Aid was £17735, a reduction of 1.1 % on 2021. Income Tax refunds now include some Gift Aid recovery from cash collections.
The main item of expenditure was (as usual) Diocesan Share. Assessed share was £95497 (the same as 2021) of which £82600 was paid, £12897 less than 2021 and representing a lesser payment and shortfall of 13.5%. 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 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 there was an excess of receipts over payments (i.e. a surplus) of £5186 on unrestricted funds. On restricted funds there was an excess of payments over receipts (i.e. a deficit)of £2034.
Including bank and deposit balances the balance of unrestricted funds available at the end of 2022 was £36358 an increase of £3152 (9.5%). The value of investments (in restricted and unrestricted funds) decreased by £7746 (10.65%) a s compared with the end of the previous year.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy (in line with Diocesan recommendations) 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 £90620 held in unrestricted funds at the year end formally meets this target.
The balance of £703 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 key posts on the PCC were 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, 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 Church Meeting and to stand for election to the PCC. As of the APCM there were 163 people on the electoral roll – an increase of 4 from the reported figure for 2021.
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 2022.
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.

St Mary's, Richmond, with St Michael's and All Angels, Hudswell PCC
Independent examiner's report to the members on the unaudited financial statements of St Mary's Church, Richmond for the year ended 31 December 2022
This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2022 is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 ("the Regulations") and Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and Section 144 of the Act do not apply.
It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or
-
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
