All church attenders are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The Parish is in the Deanery of Sparkenhoe East, and since 2015 is part of the joint Benefice of Desford and Kirby Muxloe, within the ‘Ivanhoe’ Group Ministry which also includes the Benefice of Groby and Ratby. One or two Churchwardens may be elected by the Annual Meeting of Parishioners. The PCC elects one of its lay members as Vice Chair. It also nominates its Treasurer, Secretary, Electoral Roll Officer, Safeguarding Officer and Deputy Wardens are not necessarily members of the PCC. In 2022 Kevin Tansey was Treasurer; Paul Eales was Electoral Roll Officer and the Safeguarding Officer was Charmaine Odlum. Andrew Crabtree was responsible for Health & Safety. The PCC regularly receives reports from its working groups including Pastoral Care; Social; Finance; Fabric; Hall management; Safeguarding, Mission and Worship. The Standing Committee of the PCC consists of the Rector, Churchwarden(s), Secretary plus further co-options as required. ## Objectives and activities The primary object of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. Activities of the charity, in accordance with Church of England recommendations, are: Regular public worship open to all. The provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation. Pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved. Teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses, and small groups. Taking of religious assemblies in schools. The provision of a youth club with a Christian ethos. Promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings, and the distribution of literature. Promoting the whole mission of the Church through provision of activities for senior citizens, parents and toddlers and other special need groups. Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas. The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the buildings of St Bartholomew’s Church, Kirby Muxloe (a Grade II* listed building) and its church hall. The stipend of the Rector was paid by the Diocese of Leicester. The PCC is responsible to the Diocese for ensuring payment of financial contributions, the “Parish Gift”, expected to reflect the real costs of clergy posts, including housing, pension contributions and the costs of training clergy for the future. In addition, the PCC reimburses clergy expenses (including those of the non-stipendiary assistant minister) such as petrol etc. and disburses funds in payment for occasional offices according to the policy of the Church of England. _Kirby Muxloe St Bartholomew Parochial Church Council Annual Report 2022_ _2_ ## Achievements and performance ## Church attendance At 31st December 2022 there were 91 people on the Church Electoral Roll, 15 of whom were not resident within the parish.

Margaret Palmer on the 27th February 2023 The accounts have been independently examined by Signed: Date: 12th March 2023 Treasurer (Dr. Kevin Tansey) ## Margaret Palmer 9 Hewitt Drive Kirby Muxloe Leicester LE9 2EB St Bartholomew's Kirby Muxloe PCC C/o Church Hall Kirby Muxloe Leicester LE9 2EB 27[th] February 2023 Dear Kevin Tansey I have independently examined the records for St Bartholomew's Church, checking the data for debtor's and creditor's has been correctly entered onto the spreadsheet for 2022. The bank account has been reconciled, showing the correct opening and closing balances for the year 2022. A full audit has not been undertaken. ## **Notes:** It is important that expense claims are checked before payment is made. Receipts must be produced for all purchases on the claims form. All calculations and totals should also be checked to ensure they agree to the claim amount. Payment of £35 each month received from CAF however there is no paperwork to identify the reason for the income. Although these are re-occurring payments paperwork at the beginning of the year should be provide by the Company in relation to the income. It is not good practice for to be giving temporary personal funds to the church. Consideration should be given to the increase in expenditure in relation the decrease in income. On checking the accounts to the 2022 spreadsheet, the following items were identified as having discrepancies or paperwork missing: **----- Start of picture text -----**
