Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Promoting the whole mission of the Church in the ecclesiastical parish of Church Hulme (Holmes Chapel and Cranage) - making Christ known in the community of Holmes Chapel so that all can share in the joy of God’s love: come to Christ, love to learn, learn to love!

The PCC’s principal object is to work with the incumbent to help promote and teach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England within the parish and local community of Holmes Chapel, and to ensure that Church life and work help fulfil that object for the greater public benefit.

In planning and carrying out its activities in 2020, the PCC has continued to note the Commission’s guidance on delivering public benefit for those charities engaged in the advancement of religion.

The PCC’s activities aim to help ordinary people live out their Christian faith within the parish community, provide pastoral care for those living within the parish as well as support missionary and other outreach work outside the parish. Services and worship at St Luke’s aim to put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament, balancing support for existing Church members and encouraging new people to join. St Luke’s church is a Grade I listed building dating from about 1430 situated in a prominent elevated position in the central conservation area of the Cheshire village of Holmes Chapel village. The PCC is responsible for its care and upkeep as well as for that of the separate, modern Church Hall. The PCC is also responsible for the upkeep of the churchyard adjoining the church and that of the separate churchyard in Knutsford Road in current use for burials and interment of ashes. Ensuring that all Church facilities and buildings continue to be in good order and fit for these purposes and comply with public use requirements is an important PCC responsibility.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Volunteers – All activities overseen by the PCC other than cleaning the church and church hall are carried out on a voluntary basis. The PCC relies entirely on the efforts of these volunteers many with official roles but others serving regularly in small teams and committees. Their regular voluntary commitment of time and talents ensures St Luke’s remains an active and caring Church within the local community.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year 2020

Impact of COVID-19 restrictions during 2020 - The national government and church authority restrictions and continuing high level of infections in our area of Cheshire East meant that for eight months of the year we were unable to hold services in church or to continue any communal use of the Church Hall. This has severely impacted our mission and other charitable activities during the year and into 2021. Even when the restrictions on church services were relaxed, many of our high-risk category church members remained shielding and did not feel able to return to church. Mission and Evangelism - Helping those in need demonstrates Christian faith and supports the PCC’s charitable objects and mission. St Luke’s continues to support the Barnabus charity helping to relieve the hardship and distress of the homeless and destitute in Manchester. In 2020, donations of food and clothing were seriously reduced through closure of the church building and the absence of church services. Regular donations have again been sent during 2020 to help support the inner-city parish of St Luke, Brinnington. The PCC supports the concept of the Parish Share by which all parishes contribute to a central diocesan fund based on ability to pay which ensures that hard-up parishes may still be provided with clergy and support. The PCC sees its continued payment of a higher-than-average Parish Share contribution in 2020 as partial fulfilment of its charitable objects. Young people – the relaunch of Sunday School under the ‘Genesis’ name for children from ages 2 – 11 years continues to be well supported. The aims remain the same, providing a regular pattern of bible-based worship and teaching to the children in our congregation, as well as reaching out to families in the wider community. Plans for a new, mother and toddler group, in the Church Hall had to be suspended with closure of the building during the restrictions. Providing regular Church based activities for older children in the parish continues to be a priority. A new Youth Group (Exodus) for 11 to15 year-olds was started in July. Activities with local Christian Churches and the wider Community – The PCC works with the local Roman Catholic and Methodist Churches through Churches Together and in Christian Aid to help fulfil the wider Christian mission in the community. The PCC actively supports village community activities and maintains a good working relationship with Holmes Chapel Parish Council, providing the church building and hall facilities free of charge. Unfortunately, many of the regular community events, such as the Christmas Fair, were cancelled because of the restrictions. Communications – COVID-19 restrictions and absence of church services and “in person” meetings caused the PCC to reexamine its use of online tools to communicate its mission to help develop Christian faith in the local community. The website (www.stlukesholmeschapel.uk ) and Facebook page (@stlukesholmeschapel) were expanded in content and regular emails sent to an updated list of Church members. Our vicar recorded a weekly, short video service for the website and Facebook and an e-version of the Church Magazine was produced when the printed version had to be suspended. Regular worship services were provided using Zoom on Sundays (average 45 screens) and also on weekday mornings (average 9 screens). For those without access to Zoom or email, seasonal messages with a gift (a palm cross at Easter, Bible Study notes at Pentecost, Prayer booklet at Harvest), were delivered by a network of volunteers who also kept regular phone contact.

Development of the Knutsford Road churchyard - The PCC maintains the Knutsford Road churchyard, owned by the Church, as a burial ground for the benefit of residents of Holmes Chapel and Cranage. The new adjoining extension land (consecrated in January 2017) is now used for all new burials and interment of ashes.

St Luke’s Church Hall - The Church Hall, owned and maintained by the PCC, is important to St Luke’s outreach to the village and is normally well used by a wide range of community and Church groups. Unfortunately, it was necessary to close the Hall for public use most of the year since it was not possible to comply with the continuing restrictions for limited opening of such venues.

Section E

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The PCC’s policy is to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds which equates to at around three months of Parish Share payments and local expenses to cover emergency situations which may arise. The trustees reviewed the level which stands at around £18,000 into 2021.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

The PCC’s principal source of funds continues to be the regular donations of church members, the majority of whom are under the formal Planned Giving scheme, with many participating in Gift Aid providing for the charity to claim significant tax rebates.

The COVID-19 related closure of the church for services meant that income from weekly envelope and open plate giving was significantly reduced although giving by standing order continued and in some cases increased. Similarly closure of the Church Hall for most of 2020 led to a substantial reduction in booking income from community use.

The surplus in income over expenditure in 2020 is largely due to donations to a new Organ & Lighting Appeal launched in October 2020.

The PCC’s investment policy continues to include investing significant fund balances not immediately required with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

An explanation of the nature of various accounts, the responsibility of the Parochial Church Council of Church Hulme

The Barclays current account in the name of Parochial Church Council of Church Hulme, number 00688002 has been re-designated “Church Fabric” account and treated as a restricted fund. The funds will be applied to church fabric projects in future.

The cash accounts, Treasurer's Petty Cash and Vestry Petty Cash, are extensions of the HSBC account, used for convenience to discharge small accounts by cash payments.

In the course of its fund-raising, the Social Committee may recommend to the PCC that a part or all of the gross or net funds raised by a particular event or events is or are to be donated to a specific cause or causes. Such money will be paid either directly or indirectly into The Parochial Church Council of Church Hulme - Charities Account and distributed as appropriate.

The cash account, Church Hall Management Committee Petty Cash, is an extension of the above account, used for convenience to discharge small accounts by cash payments.

Additional Notes on the Accounts for 2020

  1. The day-to-day income and expenditure for the year ending 31st December 2020 was adversely affected by the Covid pandemic. The church was forced to close for several months during the financial year. The resultant loss of income from collections, funerals, weddings and Gift Aided donations has had a marked effect on our overall income resulting in a deficit in the church's unrestricted funds. Despite this, we have been able to meet all our regular outgoings.

  2. The trustees have reviewed the levels of reserves held and consider them to be sufficient to maintain the Church’s activities during 2020.

  3. The purchase of the organ from the Church of the Good Shepherd was completed and it was dismantled by Cartwright & Cartwright, our organ tuners and transported to their workshop. A faculty has been obtained to install the new pipe organ in the same position in St Luke’s as the existing one and work to renew and refurbish the internal parts has commenced. It is hoped that the new instrument will be installed during July 2021.

  4. A major appeal for £80,000 was launched on 1[st] October to raise funds for the installation of the new organ and upgrade the church lighting installation. In addition to the usual gifting arrangements an online donations site at Total Giving was created. The total amount donated at the end of 2020 was just over £50,000.

  5. A new book researched and written by the Local History Group of Holmes Chapel was published in December 2020 which describes the history of the church and village over the centuries. Profits from the sales of this publication are to go to the Appeal fund.

  6. At the beginning of October, the vicar and his wife moved into a new house (74A London Road) which had been built in the grounds of the old house. As the former vicarage is vacant it is being sold on behalf of the Diocese of Chester.

  7. During the year sales of the contents of the mausoleum took place and £475 was raised through the sales of items of furniture and outdoor wooden games.

Accounting Policy

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any special restrictions regarding their use and are available for the general purposes of the PCC. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC.

The accounts include monetary transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC can be held responsible. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Subject to the above, receipts and payments include income as received and expenditure when irrevocably paid.

The Treasurer would like to thank all PCC account managers for their efforts to provide their accounts in good time and is grateful to Jeremy Bostock of Thompson Wright Ltd for his help in examining these accounts.
