Report of the Electoral Roll Officer 2020
The annual revision of the church Electoral Roll has now been completed and the final numbers indicate we have 224 members, an increase of 2 from October 2020 when the last revision was conducted. There has only been 1 removal due to relocation.

Thank you to everyone who has updated their information throughout another challenging year.

Financial Report for the Year Ending 31 December 2020
The accounts for the year ending 31 December 2020 show debit of £9,519 in the General Fund, following the Independent Examination of the accounts carried out carried out by Burton and Company (Accountants) Ltd.
Income has significantly reduced in many ways due to the church being closed for services and the church hall being closed for hiring out. These reductions include Non gift aid donations which reduced by £5,377, collections in church which reduced by £4,079 and the church hall rental income which reduced by £6,092. Fees from weddings, funerals and internment of ashes also reduced by £5,244. Gift Aid Tax recoverable for the year amounted to £12,498. Many thanks to all those who maintained their regular giving.
Expenditure on major repairs and maintenance in 2020 amounted to £2,813 which included quite a substantial amount of lighting/electrical work and for unblocking the drains. Also, we had to have a tree removed at a cost £1,080. This year our Parish Share was set at £60,000 of which £48,000 (80%) was paid.
Fund raising activities for the year amounted to £1,279 which includes income from the Christmas virtual raffle and teas and coffees etc at the beginning of the year before we had to close the church and hall. Special thanks must go to Fiona Jones and Angela May for the organising the Christmas virtual raffle.
I would particularly like to thank Colin Wilkinson for doing all the bookkeeping and to Yvonne Mackereth for all the gift aiding and for supporting me in so many ways.
No members of the PCC have received any payments apart from certified expenses.

Stretford Deanery Synod Report 2020
All clergy who serve in our parish are entitled to attend Stretford Deanery Synod and the clergy chapter. In addition five lay members of the PCC are elected to deanery synod each triennium.
This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. Each deanery synod meeting commences with a presentation by a guest speaker on a subject of special interest to which all are welcome. This is followed by a business meeting discussing deanery business.
Stretford Deanery will soon join with neighbours in Hulme and Withington Deaneries to become South Manchester and Stretford Deanery. At the time of writing, the name of the full-time area dean has not been announced. The election process for the position of Lay Chair is about to get underway and the new deaneries will become operational from 1 June 2021.
The first full meeting of Stretford Deanery Synod in 2020 was on 16 January when we met for a consultation evening on the then proposed changes to deanery arrangements. As you will all know be aware these proposed changes, to move to 7 larger deaneries each with a full-time area dean, were agreed by the Diocese and implementation is well under way.
Sadly, the meeting in January was to be our last for the year due to the restrictions imposed by Covid. However, we have kept in touch as a deanery mainly via email. We have also prayed together, generally on a Thursday evening, using Deanery prayers circulated to all synod members; apart but not alone.
During 2020 we were sad to learn of the death of Duncan Gilbertson, a long-standing active member of All Saints church, this deanery and Manchester Diocese. We give thanks for all that Duncan offered and for his commitment to the furthering of the church here in Manchester We hold his family in our prayers.

Lay Chair, Stretford Deanery
Report of Safeguarding Co-ordinator 2020
Each Parochial Church Council, together with the parish priest, shares the responsibility for the duty of care of the children and young people and adults at risk in their church setting. Each PCC must be fully aware of, and work in line with, the Diocesan Policy on Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk.
The Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator is appointed by the PCC annually and is responsible for ensuring that
Page 6 of 17
-
the Parish Policy is reviewed, updated, and adopted by the PCC on an annual basis
-
the Parish Policy is widely available to organisations using the facilities of the church.
-
that all volunteers go through the appropriate recruitment process in conjunction with the PCC and parish priest, including DBS process.
-
that volunteers have met the requirement to undertake basic child safeguarding training, and to maintain a record of those who have completed this training.
-
To monitor the implementation of Parish Policy and report to the PCC any difficulties in doing so.
The adult safeguarding guidelines and the children and young people’s policy were presented to and adopted by the PCC in October 2020. This was in line with the policy of the Diocese of Manchester for annual revision/ adoption of these documents.
In line with Diocesan guidance, a DBS check has been done for all members of this PCC as the PCC have overall responsibility for safeguarding within the parish. DBS clearance should be renewed every 5 years. All volunteers are required to complete online training each 3 years. At present this is the only training available to PCC members and other volunteers. All clergy are required to have a DBS check completed by the Diocese and complete regular safeguarding training.
As part of good practice, safeguarding of both children and adults who may be at risk, is a standing item on the PCC agenda. In this way the PCC are kept up to date with any issues or policy and document changes such as recruitment procedures and training.
The Diocese of Manchester, in line with best practice, has a Safeguarding Board. Details of this can be found on the Diocesan website. The Safeguarding board develop policies and procedures for safeguarding children and adults and promote a safe church.
However, safeguarding is not just the business of the PCC or the Diocese, it is the role of all of us to help to safeguard everyone who attends or is connected with this church.
I am always happy to answer questions related to policy and practice and any safeguarding issues should be brought to the direct attention of Canon Chris or myself.
Once again, I would like to thank all those helpers who willingly complete the required DBS formalities and any required training. This is a further indication of the seriousness that is placed on Safeguarding within this church and the wider church.
There have been no child protection issues at St Mary during the past year.
A list of relevant contact names and address for Safeguarding may be found on notice boards in church and in the church hall. Contact details are also on the church website.

This has been a year without precedent and together we have overcome a number of challenges. faced a number of changes, and sometimes had to make difficult decisions. I would like to thank everyone involved for all their various contributions and support. This has all helped to complete another great year for us at St Mary’s.
On behalf of the PCC I would also like to thank Fiona Jones, Rebecca Hession, Simon Orr, Sue McGrane and Karen Swales for all they have offered as Churchwardens and Deputy Churchwardens this year together with all other church officers. I would also like to say a very special Thank You to Angela May as she steps down as church warden and from the PCC. St Mary is privileged to have you as part of our church family and we thank you for all you have offered to us over the past few years. Also, special thanks to the clergy team and all lay people who work hard to support the mission of this church in so many, many ways.

During the past year, the teams have worked within government guidelines to manage and look after our outdoor areas. During some lockdowns this has proved challenging and for parts of 2020 there was no general access to the car park or grounds. Nevertheless, as soon as we were able, teams got together to manage the grounds.
Many of you will have followed photos from the gardening team from time to time. Fiona, Avril Linda and Liz have worked on the flower beds/lawn borders, carpark edges and during the year we have had donations of pollinating plants, compost, and small shrubs in memory. We are happy to advise as to what we can plant and where. Thank you to Avril and David who made a lovely herb garden stand, and anyone may enjoy the herbs for their cooking or the scents as they pass. Janice and Dom have helped with the smart flower box on the main wall. It does give a warm welcome as people pass along the road. Thank you both. 2020 was tricky but we look forward to welcoming Frank, Elsie and Ann back to the team in 2021.
We have a small vegetable garden and hopefully this year (with extra help) may get the fruit area tidied again, the rhubarb has survived! We also compost grass cutting and flowers where space allows and hope to have a compost area more established during the summer. Early Birds and Rainbows are already watching and watering the potatoes, sweet peas, strawberries and have more growing as we all work towards helping the climate.
We know there are our friends who are looking forward to joining us again as restrictions ease and we will keep them in touch and welcome anyone else who would like to help with the grounds. We do not have a regular meeting day as we plan around weather and commitments but would be grateful for more help in such peaceful surroundings to keep our grounds a special place for our community.
We would especially like to thank Simon Orr, Sue McGrane, Rebecca Hession and Karen Swales our Deputy Wardens for all their help, support, and shared responsibility of many of the duties that we undertake.
Reflections on 2020 This year has been particularly challenging for us all at St Mary’s due to the Covid-19 pandemic and all the restrictions it has brought with it.
Page 11 of 17
“Warden Team” is now a familiar word. We would not be able to do many of the tasks asked of us without the support of previous Wardens and the Stewards who have helped us to organise services and regular cleaning this year. It is still a process where we are learning and adapting to change all the time. The use of a” WhatsApp” group on our mobiles helps us to communicate with each other very easily and quickly as we are not always at a service or together at the same time. We have also used the app this year for organising services and virtual events. It is now also used to communicate with team members and members of our congregation.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who has been able to help in any way with the running of the Church during the week or on a Sunday Service when we have been able to worship together in Church or via zoom. As a PCC we learnt to use zoom and continued to meet this way. This year especially, has been a challenge for us having to adapt to having to stay at home, having to isolate, having to adapt to the new regulations, which indeed could change with only a weeks’ notice, and to following all the guidelines from the Diocese so that we all remained safe.
We mirrored the Archdeacon’s visitation process again at the end of December. This ensured and checked that we are adhering to current guidelines and that everything we need to do was up to date. We continue to work along aside the Clergy and PCC to enable our mission plan to grow and enhance our Church life.
We thank all those that continue to help, support, and advise although it is not possible to mention by name all the people who contribute in so many ways to the life of our Church. We would also like to thank especially the team of Stewards who have supported us and assisted us at Church services and for cleaning afterwards, our organist Andy Penzak and Violinist, Elaine Turnock for their amazing gift of music, especially appreciated more so as singing is not permitted at this time. We are very lucky to be appreciate all our favourite hymns in a very special way. Our Gritting team who made the paths safe for us every morning during icy weather and to the Gardening Team for creating such special surroundings and are so beautiful and well kept. Special thanks especially are extended to Yvonne Mackereth and Niki Taylor who are always there for us in so many ways and are a great support and to David Shepherd for his help and guidance with all the risk assessments that need to be completed.
Finally, we would like to thank Canon Chris, Dr Simon, Father Chris, Reverend Jenni and Reverend Debra (who was licenced as Curate In Charge at St Johns on 2nd November) for all the help, support, and spiritual guidance that they provide for every one of us at St Mary’s throughout the year, and their constant support to us all throughout these challenging times to ensure that everything is carried out correctly, and finally for having every faith in us all that we can continue to fulfil this role. We are also grateful to the ministry team for everything they do in bringing new ways of worship to St Mary’s, this year being SoundCloud, Zoom services, and services including masks, gloves and copious amounts of Hand sanitizer!! Not an easy task.
Angela May and Fiona Jones – Churchwardens
Further Wardens Notes 2021
Following the donation of a gritter, through the cold dark winter mornings Garry, Dr Simon, Simon, and Martin Wright cleared the paths and carpark for safe access for Playgroup, School, and the Clergy. Canon Chris organised outdoor ice warning signs
Page 12 of 17
and together with marker cones, Gritting Salt, and a Salt spreader, they all kept the area safe from slips etc. There are now 2 salt stores ready for the next cold snap! As Spring arrived the grass began to grow, and Simon Orr organised his Lawn Ranger team to mow the grass. Thank you to Simon, Martin, Neil, John, David S and Will. Many thanks too, to John who did the grass and autumn leaves in 2020 before the group was set up.
We held fundraising raffle and quiz evenings and thank you to Peter Taylor and Jonathan Hindley for organising these. We hope you have continued to enjoy the fundraising events that we have put on and are grateful for all your support. It is encouraging to see that there is now a wide age range of age groups that attend these events and that these are enjoyed by all who attend.
Angela May and Fiona Jones – Churchwardens
A Final word
It was not an easy decision to step down as Warden and from the PCC. This was partly due to my new Job and going back to College to complete my accountancy qualifications, balancing work, college, and family time and my own need to be able to give 100 percent to my role as Warden, which unfortunately I felt could not be done to the best of my ability.
I am confident that the Warden team will continue to flourish and along with the PCC take the Church forward during the coming months.
Little did we know what “A Church for A Different World” would mean and how our work towards this would be so relevant as a Warden Team and PCC and how it would support us all through the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Little did we know that our “Warden Share” campaign and award would be the grounding for us to work on during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The support from past Wardens has helped us in so many ways this year.
Little did we know that the success of our “Whats-App” groups would be beneficial to how we communicated with each other quickly and efficiently during the Covid 19 Pandemic.
Little did we know that our friendships with one another would be the key to looking after one another and checking in on each other especially during the hard times of isolation and throughout this difficult time.
This is why and what makes St Mary’s such a great place to be part of, we all have a different story to tell, but we all have each other and our love of God. I am so grateful to be part of St Mary’s and to have you all as my extended family and friends.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has guided, helped, listened, laughed with me, put up with my constant message pinging and emails and supported me during the many years I have been a PCC member, PCC Secretary, Deputy Warden and Warden. It has been a pleasure to be part of a wonderful team and I will miss you all.
To Fiona, Simon, Sue, Yvonne and Niki, thank you especially for all your support and friendship, I could not have done this without you. To Canon Chris, thank you for the
Page 13 of 17
many years of putting up with all my questions and queries, and for always being there, and to Dr Simon, Father Chris, and Rev Jenni, thank you for all your support and guidance. Fiona, it has been a pleasure to have you as my fellow Warden and friend this year. A huge thank you to you and Dave for your unconditional help, knowledge, and support, might I say in all weathers too!
I will still be around to assist and help when asked to and will be concentrating on getting the Church Hall back up and running when the restrictions relax and look forward to being able to help fundraise.
I look forward to the time when I can sit with you all with a cup of tea after the service, and please do not forget, if there is a question that you have, something you want to know, I am always around to help you or find out the answer for you.
With much love as always
Angela
Children’s Church and family links 2020-2021
In the challenging year that we have all faced together the family links have been maintained and grown in various ways.
During the first lockdown I made weekly videos for Sunday worship and sent regular emails to the family contact list built up over the past few years. These videos were posted of Facebook and shared with the Diocese of Manchester children and family support group on FB. The videos were also shared with St Mary’s school. This site also gave ‘Worship to go’ activities that could be shared with families. During the lockdowns I have kept in touch with the families with worship and activity opportunities. We have built up a regular worshipping group of 10 families for ‘zoom’ or’ in-church’ (many more receive the emails and invitations to join in when they can). Baptism families have made contact and met each other and the clergy on zoom.
We did have a few opportunities for ‘In Church’ worship at 3 pm on a Sunday and this worked safely with action rhymes (rather than songs) simple bible stories with involvement of the families from their pews. They also had worship activity bags to take home. The Christmas and Easter services in church were attended by 7-10 families who were able to (Socially distance) visit the outside display shed after the services or in their own time.
The clergy helped to support us with zoom worship at 3 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon which a few families joined. I set up a worship scene from home and emailed the worship and activity sheets as families requested to join. This was all safeguarded with Zoom consent forms. As family worship has evolved, we had a zoom meeting with adults in April and are now hosting family worship in church once a month at 3 p.m. and on zoom once a month at 3 p.m. This will be reviewed as Diocesan guidelines allow.
In January 2021 we were grateful to receive a £250 Family Worship grant from the Manchester Diocese Board of Education. This is going towards equipment to enable our families and the school participate in worship when we Live steam from church (with safeguarding in place) and will help us develop opportunities with outreach in months ahead.
With thanks to Clergy, safeguarding officer, Wardens, Stewards and of course, the families we are continuing to grow our faith together at this challenging time.

Vicar’s Report to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting 2021
Vicars Report 2020
None of us would have guessed just how different and how challenging 2020 was going to be. Although we were physically separate there was a great sense of unity in our experience. It has been by turns bewildering, isolating, confusing and at times frightening. It has affected us deeply no matter what our age. There was no person who did not feel some kind of deprivation. And now we begin to take stock of where are as a people and church.
The year began with its normal liturgical rhythm, the Epiphany and its season, the Presentation of Christ and the Time before Lent, followed by Ash Wednesday and Lent itself. As in any other year we had a great team of people assisting, Sidespeople, servers, flower arrangers, the choir, with Andy Penzak and Elaine Turnock providing such wonderful accompaniment, people on tea rota, Frank and Elsie Firth backing all this up, the normal warp and weft of parish life. We had a great celebration of Confirmation with Bishop Mark Davies – fortunately earlier this year in February- and then barely four weeks later we were unable to worship as normal.
Then began the ‘new normal’. Not being able to gather for worship in large numbers or at all. Not being able to touch. Following government and church guidelines concerning restrictions on what we could do and Risk Assessments for whatever we could. We all entered a steep learning curve of virtual ways of keeping in touch, Zoom and its possibilities and etiquettes, Soundcloud. It was a frustrating time for those without access to technology, but other ways were found to keep in touch.
Because of the fixed seating in the church we were very limited in the number of seatings we were able to provide during the pandemic. Other churches have found movable furnishings provide great flexibility in configuration. This is an issue which we have been debating for many years and like many other churches in our position there is a realisation that we need to act on this. In December the PCC passed a Faculty resolution to forward our plans. We can expect progress through the normal faculty procedures and processes in 2021 onwards. We also have to bear in mind there is an overall strategy in the diocese looking at the potential of church buildings for outreach not only though worship but in community gatherings. We have not neglected to care for the structure and safety of the building in 2020. Many thanks to the team who looked after the grounds of the building and those who enabled worship to continue.
These have also been challenging times financially. Our income fell chiefly through lack of hall hirings, social events and collections in church which would normally arise from attendances at the whole range of services. We are extremely grateful to those who kept on with their gift aid giving which nearly equalled the total achieved in 2019. Many thanks who those kept up their planned giving and who made extra donations.
In November 2020 the Reverend Debra Blair embarked on a new phase of her ministry being appointed as Curate in Charge of St John Flixton. We are very grateful for all that Debra has given to this parish over the years and we shall miss her as a colleague. My renewed thanks also to those other members of team the Reverend Jenni Beaumont, Dr Simon Wright and Fr Chris Waddleton for their companionship, their support and the many gifts of ministry they bring to the parish.

We continued our links with the St Marys Primary School as far as we were able, the clergy sharing in virtual assemblies and other services. Our headteacher Mrs Alison Daniel, Deputy Head Mrs Clair Looker and all the staff went to great efforts to ensure the availability of learning and classes to the pupils at the various stages of lock down with the immense preparation for the adaptation that was involved, and I know how much this has been appreciated by the parents and children. We express our deep thanks. We are grateful to those who serve on the governing body and special thanks to Andy Jarman in his capacity as Chair.
We remember with thanksgiving those who from our congregation and those in close relation to those in the congregation who in 2020 were commended to God’s keeping and we continue to offer our condolences and prayers to their families.
During the year important decisions were made at a diocesan level regarding the future shape of the diocese. The present 22 deaneries were to be combined into larger units looked after by a full time Area Dean and within those deaneries there will be clusters of parishes known as Mission Communities. In our case Stretford Deanery will be joined by Hulme Deanery and Withington Deanery to form Stretford and South Manchester Deanery and our Mission community will comprise Christ Church Davyhulme, St Clement Urmston, St Michael Flixton, St John Flixton and St Mary the Virgin Davyhulme. Underpinning this will be new understandings of clerical and lay ministry.
In addition to my clerical colleagues many thanks to the church officers. Special thanks to Angela May as she steps down as churchwarden after many years of faithful and loyal service, not forgetting the great support Garry gave during this time. Angela brought many gifts to the role and served with resilience and cheerfulness. Thanks also to Fiona Jones for her intrepid work not only as Warden but also in in holding the Children’s Church together over the past year, and thank you to Dave. Many thanks to Niki Taylor for her work as Treasurer and to Colin Wilkinson for his support with the finances. Thanks also to our team of Deputy Wardens, Rebecca Hession, Sue McGrane, Simon Orr, Karen Swales. And thank you to Yvonne Mackereth for all her work as PCC Secretary and much else besides.
We look forward to a return to church remembering the words of St Paul ‘suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character and character produces hope’. (Romans 5:4) It is in the hope given by God in Jesus Christ and by the outpouring of his Holy Spirit that we proceed from 2020 in faith.
My renewed thanks to you all and as ever my thanks to Verity,
Chris Ford

Accountant and Independent Examiner's Report
Accounts for the Year Ended 31st December 2020
We report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31st December 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to 10.
The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and accounting records. The church's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Independent Examiner's Report
It is our responsibility to:
a) Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
b) Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act
c) State whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts prepared with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures made in the accounts, and seeking explanations concerning any unusual matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not provide an opinion as to whether the accounts show a true and fair view.
The report is accordingly limited to the matters set out in the statement below:
In connection with our examination, no matters have come to our attention which:
-
a) Give us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act, or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the 2011 Act have not been met.
-
b) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act (2011) and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, Financial Reporting Standard 102, and the 2016 Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the PCC.
Restricted funds are income funds and reserves that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of those funds are provided in the notes to the accounts.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe their affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
Income
Collections, donations and legacies are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received.
Income Tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Funds raised by the Christmas Fair and similar events are accounted for gross.
Rental Income from the letting of Church premises is recognised when received.
Income from grants is recognised, where possible, in the same accounting year as that for which any related expenditure is payable.
Interest and investment income is recognised when received.
Expenditure

FIXED ASSETS
Consecrated Property and moveable Church Furnishings
Consecrated and beneficial property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable Church furnishings held by the Vicar and Church Wardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a Faculty for disposal are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the Church's inventory, which can be inspected at any reasonable time.
For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straight line basis.
Depreciation is charged at the following rates to write the fixed assets off over their estimated useful economic lives:
Church Hall 5% per annum to a minimum book value of £ 5,000 Fixtures 15% per annum down to a minimum book value of £ 5 Equipment 25% per annum down to a miminum book value of £ 5
