Vision Statement

The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Davyhulme is a sacred place

Aims and Objectives and Activities

The PCC (Powers) measure 1956 states that a PCC ‘is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.’

The Mission Statement of this parish is to be a growing, serving and nurturing church at the heart of the local community. The PCC is committed to:

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 our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and Scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

5

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of this church. This has been achieved again this year, despite the continued increasing and varied costs of maintaining this church through the generosity of regular giving, donations and legacies.

Pastoral Care

Helping and keeping in contact with others is a demonstration of our faith. During the year we have kept in touch with many members of our church community. This has included regular home visits to administer the sacraments, pastoral visits by other members of the congregation and telephone contact as listed below:

Charity support

Throughout the year we have been able to offer our church as a collection point for donations for Stretford food bank and The Toy House, Flixton.

We held a Christingle service in January with a donation of over £300 sent to The Children’s Society. Our Harvest Festival collection went to Streford food bank plus a weekly food collection and a monetary donation at Christmas. The donations from our Toy Service were distributed to local families by The Toy House. A huge Thank You to the many who have faithfully supported all our charitable activities during the past year.

Risks

All risks are managed with the support of the parish Health and Safety Officer and reviewed / actioned by the PCC.

The relevant Risk Assessments are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis.

Fire alarms, lightening conductor, electrical installations and boilers are inspected and maintained on a regular basis.

Policies and Procedures

The PCC has ultimate responsibility for the implementation of a wide range of actions. To support this, policies and procedures have been developed and updated as required. These are available to view on the Parish website.

PCC Meetings

There were 9 meetings of the PCC in 2024. Attendance of PCC members at these meetings was good overall by the majority of PCC members.

The following were among the major issues discussed during the year:

Achievements and performance

Worship and prayer

We continue to offer worship both on a Sunday and during the week for our church community of all ages. For example, Wednesday morning Eucharist provides a quieter and reflective environment for worship.

We are delighted to welcome our church school to worship with us. Key stage 2 pupils join the Wednesday morning service once a month, class by class with pupils serving at the altar. Pupils visit for Experience Christmas and Easter, and end of term worship is held in church three times a year, expertly led by Year 6 pupils.

Children’s Church has continued each Sunday, term time only, led mainly by Fiona, Angela, Joanne and Chelle, thank you all. We have a small group of families who attend regularly and who delight us with examples of their learning.

Our Lent and Advent groups met in church this year led by the clergy team, with friends from St Clements joining us. In addition we joined with St Clement for a Bible study course in the autumn The services at festivals, especially Easter and Christmas, have been busy.

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life; in marriage, public vows are exchanged with God's blessing; through funeral services, friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life that is now complete in this world and commend the person into God's safe keeping.

All this has been offered under the leadership of Rev Matthew ably supported by Father Chris and Dr Simon. We give thanks to them for presiding at our worship, their continued pastoral care, leadership and faithful loving support. We were delighted to welcome Rev John and his family to the parish in July as Rev John begins his curacy with us at St Mary and St Clements.

We also offer our grateful thanks to our ‘music team’ of Andy and Elaine who have accompanied every service for us over the year and greatly enhanced our worship. We continue to grow in faith as a church family and extend our love and outreach to our local community.

The Parish Hall

The church hall provides an important part of our outreach to the local community We offer our hall for hire for parties and additional regular users. This provides not only a very helpful source of income but forms part of the parish outreach to the community. The PCC employ a company to clean the church hall on a weekly basis.

We would like to thank Angela May for managing the casual church hall lettings, Glyn Chatterton for managing the regular lettings and all those who open up and lock up after the weekend parties.

Thank you

None of the work of this parish is possible without the help of our large number of volunteers who offer many, many hours of expertise and time to enable the church to function and grow. It is not possible to name all our volunteers, but particular thanks go to Elsie and Frank Firth for all they do, to the PCC, the sidespeople, the gardening team and the lawn and icy weather gritting teams.

Thank you especially to Elsie for keeping the church so clean on a week-to-week basis and for making sure that all is in order for every service.

A very special Thank You to Rev Matthew for his pastoral care and support, not least for us as wardens but also for our church family. Thank you Matthew.

Electoral Roll Officer’s report for 2025

It has been a quiet year as far as the Electoral Roll is concerned.

The Electoral Roll was renewed last year, and at 01/05/2025 there were 133 people on the Electoral Roll, of whom 11 were not resident in the Parish.

During the year, there have been quite a few people mentioned in prayers for the deceased, but most were not on the Electoral Roll.

So, since the renewal last May only one member of the congregation on the Electoral Roll has died, with one addition to the list. The number of people on the Electoral Roll remains the same at 133.

Sue McGrane Electoral Roll Officer

Report of Deanery Synod for 2025

In the Church of England, a deanery is a group of parishes forming a district within an archdeaconry. This parish may currently have up to four representatives on Deanery Synod. These representatives are also PCC members, providing the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the Church of England.

This parish is part of Manchester South and Stretford Deanery. Our Area Dean, Rev Nick Watson moved to take up take up the post of Archdeacon in the Diocese of Lichfield in the spring. Since then we have been ably supported by Rev Peter Matthews, firstly as acting Area Dean, until his post was confirmed at the end 2025. Rev Peter is not new to the area having been the incumbent for St Brides and St John in Old Trafford. The Deanery Lay Chair is Canon Addy Lazz-Onyenobi. St Mary parish also forms part of a Mission Community together with St Michael, St Clement, St John, Christ Church, All Saints and St Matthew parishes. We look forward to continuing to work alongside colleagues both in the deanery and the local Mission Community .

During 2025 the Deanery Synod met three times. Items for discussion at synod included:

Reports were received from each General Synod and Diocesan Synod meeting during the year.

Yvonne Mackereth Deanery Secretary

Report of Safeguarding Co-ordinator 2025

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

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.

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 3 years. All volunteers are required to complete online training and attend a training update. This has been delivered locally within the deanery. In addition all clergy are required to have a DBS check completed by the Diocese and attend 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 myself.

A list of relevant contact names and address for Safeguarding may be found on notice boards in church and in the church hall. Safeguarding posters in the Church have recently been updated as have contact details for external agencies who can offer support. A Safeguarding leaflet has been produced to be shared with new parents who attend Children’s church. It provides assurance to parents that DBS / Safeguarding training is provided to church leaders and the PCC. It also provides contact details for local Safeguarding officer and also the diocese if parents wish to discuss any issues.

St Marys has now adopted the Safeguarding Parish Dashboard, which provides the Parish with information required to fulfil its Safeguarding requirements. Level 1 and 2 completed which has then opened access to Level 3. This level is now to be completed.

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.

Liz Spencer Safeguarding Coordinator

Warden’s notes for 2025

This has been another exciting year for St Mary’s church as we welcomed Rev John Muyita and his family when John joined us as Curate for St Mary’s and St Clements. Working with Rev Matthew our two churches continues to develop our worship and mission alongside each other. The wardens and team have valued working alongside Rev Matthew, Dr Simon, Revd John and Father Chris plus the PCC and all our volunteers as we care for the buildings and fabrics of the church and the grounds. We were delighted to join with Father Chris and his family in September as he celebrated the 50[th] anniversary of his priesting.

The inventory continues to be updated, and the Terrier records show the electrical testing, fire safety, heating safety, building repairs and updates across the church, the hall and the grounds. Throughout the year we have addressed any issues that have arisen with church and church hall electrics, roof and gutter maintenance. A major event was water ingress to the Alice Ryder room in May. Subsequently major work on the flat roof over the hall gallery entrance proved essential. In addition work was required to related leaks in the kitchen (lighting and electrics) during the

10

autumn. When the whole roof was water tight, electrics all were made safe/ upgraded where needed including the kitchen lights and emergency lighting. Various joinery jobs included repair to the hall door frames, locks and the lower part of a window frame.

Work was also required on one of the lantern tower windows in February and then during the summer there was an issue with a swarm of bees followed by wasps in the lantern tower. The windows were made safe and the roof seals checked and resealed and the bees/ wasps flew away!

In April a new sound system was installed which has greatly benefitted all our services and events. During August we had a working party who carried out many smaller jobs including some painting. . This was a great weekend of both work and fellowship. Another fresh look was the small altar where the woodwork was splitting with heat and age damage. This was carefully restored by a joiner.

We are always grateful for the extra help that our congregation members offer. Many small jobs are quietly carried out over the year both inside and outside the building. A downspout on the church hall was resecured, a water butt installed, the play group store shed doors repaired, a dip in the carpark made smooth, fence panels re painted , invasive ivy on stone work on the front garden wall safely removed and treated, the small allotment frame renewed, maintenance around the wall memorial . Apologies if any work has been omitted. A huge thank you to all those giving of their skills time and energy to freely help when they can in church and behind the scenes.

A very big thank you to Andy and Elaine who continue to add a musical spiritual side to our worship. Thank you to our regular choir and the additional pop-up choir for special services that include joining with St Clements choir for shared services. Thank you to Irene for co ordinating the choir.

Throughout the year Elsie and Frank have ably supported services, cleaned the church regularly including the silver and brasses., prepared the church and altar for service. They do an enormous amount of ‘back-room’ work for which we thank them.

Our sides-people have welcomed our congregation and visitors to regular and life event services and often wear more than one hat being on tea duty, transport lifts, epistle reading and intercessions. Thank you to all who help in any way in all these roles.

The hall is used on a daily basis and Glyn and Angela work hard to ensure all bookings are carefully managed including checks on insurance and Health and Safety requirements. Thank you both for all your hard work. We have a small team of people that open and close the church hall for one off bookings, usually children’s parties, and we appreciate the time and care they give to ensuring the hall is left ready for the next hirer.

Throughout the year we have been able to offer our church as a collection point for donations for Trafford North food bank and The Toy House, Flixton. We held a Fair-Trade coffee morning in October and a Christingle service in January following which a donationwas sent to The Children’s Society. Our Harvest Festival collection went to Trafford North food bank together with the regular weekly food collection and a monetary donation at Christmas. The donations from our Toy Service were distributed to local families by The Toy House. A huge Thank You to the many who have faithfully supported all our charitable activities during the past year.

The Kiddiewinkles nursery who rent the hall each week day are also a special support in liaising with us about issues in the hall and in opening for workers doing maintenance and servicing jobs month by month.

Our social gatherings this year brought together friendships and the wider community in fundraising:

February- Valentine’s music evening With Andy and Elaine

March - Coffee morning and Easter Crafts

May – VE day service followed by refreshments

11

June - Eco family morning and picnic

October – Fair Trade Coffee morning

Songs of Praise music afternoon with Andy and Elaine

November - Christmas Fair organised by Elsie and her team.

We are fortunate to have large grounds surrounding our church, but these take some looking after. Our thanks to the 2 or 3 volunteers who help with gardening (more volunteers always welcome), and to Elsie and Frank who keep the Garden of Remembrance grounds so neat and tidy. Our thanks to Simon Orr who organizes the gritting and lawn mower teams. All these rotas and maintenance helpers enable the grounds to be kept neat and safe for visitors. Each week sees visitors walking through the grounds for quiet reflection and visits to the Garden of Remembrance. In addition, the small vegetable and fruit area is enjoyed by The Kiddiewinkles nursery, our young families and by anyone who gets fresh produce from it in the growing season. Our outside display shed has seasonal displays and notices. Thanks to the young families who have helped set it up for events such as Easter, Eco church, Harvest, Christmas.

We continue on our Eco Church journey building working on our Silver Award level towards Gold. We continue to monitor our carbon footprint with the new heating system and careful control of our heating. We bank with the Co-op, an ethical bank. Our grounds continue to be cared for with native plants, fruit trees and vegetables with a small team, donations of plants. The Nursery enjoy the bird feeders and the outdoor space they use on a daily basis. All of this has been shared online and in newsletters. A particular thanks for the recycling by individuals after our church events, car sharing, walking and cycling and all that each of you do in your own way to care for God’s World and in helping nature to rebuild the climate for generations to come.

This past year has been, as ever, a huge team effort. We have shared in services and events with St Clements and around our Mission Community. As wardens we welcome liaising with our fellow wardens together with Rev Matthew and Rev John. Our very special thanks are extended to Father Chris and Dr Simon who continue their ministry with us all both in church and by home visits.

Our grateful thanks are extended to Niki Taylor and the finance team, to Liz Spencer as Safeguarding Officer and to the whole PCC team who contribute help in many different ways. Thank you, each and every one of you for your part in continuing the work of our parish.

New faces have joined us throughout the year, and we also have special memories of longstanding faithful members who have made their last special journey to ‘Rise in Glory’. Thanks to all of you, our parishioners and friends, worshipping together and supporting each other be at home or in church under the loving arms of our Lord. A very special Thank You to Rev Matthew for all his support for us as wardens and for our church family. As we move forward in new times in 2026 and beyond may we all continue to pray and work together to reach out as a mission community to the wider world.

Yvonne Mackereth Churchwardens

Vicar’s Address 2026

At the end of last year the Diocese of Manchester launched our diocesan strategy which includes the following priorities: Parish Renewal, Growing Younger, Church planting and Revitalisation, and Developing Missional Leaders. The strategy also includes the diocese’s commitment to racial justice, net zero carbon, and ensuring that safeguarding is at the heart of all we do as a Church. 12

At the heart of the strategy is the recognition that God is always renewing, calling, planting, revitalising and reaching out in love. The God we worship as Father, Son and Spirit is the God of justice, who treasures the creation and treasures all who are made in the divine image. I am heartened to see that as a Church there are many, many ways we seek to serve the one who calls us to plant seeds and water growing plants in the trust that growth comes through a shared ministry of love and service.

One of the key understandings of the Church in the New Testament is that we are the body of Christ. This is good news is two senses. First, there is only one Head of the Church, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Second, we all have gifts to share, and that ministry is a shared project which begins with identifying and recognising the many gifts we have as the body of Christ.

Most ministry for most Christians happens in daily life. Most ministry is informal: a phone call to a friend, a smile to a stranger in the queue at the supermarket, a prayer for someone we walk past in the street. Much ministry cannot be measured but it is important that we see this as part of the body of Christ’s ministry in the world. In the thanks which follow, I recognize that the lens has to be narrowed to thank particular people for particular ministries among us but I recognize that this is just the tip of the iceberg of all the ministry that happens through the body of Christ at St. Mary’s.

Thank you to Dr. Simon and Fr. Chris for their priestly ministry. They both bring a wealth of experience which deepens and enhances our life in Christ; we could not enjoy the pattern of worship we have without their service, attentiveness and good humour! Thank you also to Rev. John who has enriched our life together. We are all excited to celebrate with John his ordination to the priesthood in June, and we pray for him in these weeks leading up to it. Many thanks also to the clergy and lay ministers who take the sacrament of Holy Communion to those who are sick or who cannot make it to our services in Church.

Thank you to Yvonne and Fiona who are brilliant wardens and are a rich blessing to St. Mary’s. Fiona has served as Churchwarden for six years now and she has discerned that this is the right time for her to step aside to let a new warden pick up the mantle (or, rather, the warden’s staff!). We are all so grateful to God and to Fiona for the way she served as Churchwarden, and we wish her every blessing as she continues to serve and worship alongside us. There were some big challenges relating to the fabric of the Church in 2025 and both Yvonne and Fiona handled them with great diligence and skill. Thanks also to our deputy wardens, Sue McGrane and Glyn Chatterton for your invaluable support.

Thank you to our PCC members who have such a vital role in making decisions relating to the ministry of the Church. I would particularly like to thank Barbara Miller, Joanne Hardy and Karen Iddon who come to the end of their three-year term of office and will not be standing for re-election. Thank you to all of you for your wisdom and assistance over the past three years. Finally, thanks to Yvonne, who does a great job as PCC Secretary.

Thank you to Elsie and Frank for their service among us. We treasure them and are so grateful to God for the hours they put into preparing for services, keeping the church and the Garden of Remembrance clean and tidy, and organising aspects of our fundraising and outreach.

We are incredibly fortunate at St. Mary’s to enjoy the wonderful ministry of our musicians, Andy and Elaine. We give thanks for their love of music and the deep thought they put into the pieces they play in our services of worship. Thanks also to Irene and all the choristers. Again, they have a vital role in enriching our worship. They have enjoyed linking with the choirs at St. Clement’s and other Churches in the Mission Community over the past year - thank you.

Thanks to our team of sideswomen and sidesmen who fulfil a vital ministry of welcoming people into church, making sure everyone is looked after, and assisting with the smooth running of our worship. Sometimes the unexpected can happen in our services, and so the presence and skill of our sidesmen and sideswomen means that all who comes to our services are well looked after.

13

Our serving team, Eucharistic Assistants, lectors and intercessors also have a vital role in our services - thank you for everything you do. Many thanks to Fiona for all the time she puts into updating and developing our website, our ‘A Church Near You’ page, and Facebook page. Angela May does a great job in managing all the hall bookings. Many thanks too to Glyn Chatterton for handling payments for the hire of the hall from our regular hall users. A big vote of thanks to the team of people who open and close the hall for party bookings. Thank you.

Many thanks to the superb work of our finance team. In particular I would like to thank Nicola Taylor in her role as treasurer and Peter Williams who is our bookkeeper. Thanks too to our counting team! Thank you Yvonne for your ork as Gift Aid secretary.

We have a lovely Children’s Church group who meet every week during term time. The group are in a moment of transition at the moment, but they are ably led by Joanne Hardy, Fiona Jones and Angela May. It has been a delight to see how Rachelle Johnson has taken on a leadership role with Children’s Church and flourished in that role. She has run excellent sessions for the group – thank you. As you will know the size of the group can vary massively from week to week, but the same planning has to happen regardless of how many children and parents arrive on the day.

Thank you to our social events organisers and helpers, who have arranged some brilliant social events over the past year – you know who you are and we are incredibly grateful for all your efforts.

A key role in the Church is that of Safeguarding Officer. Liz Spencer has fulfilled this role with great care and attention. Thank you, Liz. Many thanks also to David Shepherd who is our Health and Safety Officer. David also brings a lot of experience to the role. He helps keep the buildings and the grounds safe for all. Thank you, David

Many thanks to Sue McGrane for serving as the Electoral Roll officer and for being our Bingo Bee at those fundraisers! Many thanks to the ‘Lawn Rangers’ and the ‘Freezy Riders’ who maintain the lawns in the summer and ensure the safety of the car park and footpaths in the winter. Thanks to Simon Orr for heading up this team. Thanks too to Elsie who arranges flowers in Church. Thank you to Fiona and her team of volunteers for the hours they put into keeping the grounds ‘nature friendly’ and tidy. Thank you also to Glyn Chatterton, Martin Wright and Andrew Spencer who often complete practical jobs around the building and grounds. Thanks to our team of painters and decorators who decorated the lower walls in Church last year. Thanks also to all who leads our Mothers’ Union so well. I know they work as a team but special thanks to Shirley and Ian for the time and energy they put into their roles. Many thanks to Phil Hegg for arranging the men’s group’s get-togethers – these social events are enjoyed by everyone who attends, and they also get to sample the delights of Urmston’s curry houses!

Many thanks to all our Foundation Governors who play such an important role in the life of St. Mary’s School. Thanks also to all who help serve refreshments on Sundays and at social events – your assistance is greatly valued.

As I mentioned at the beginning a lot of ministry among us happens without fanfare or applause, but it is important to pause to say thank you and to recognize that we all play our parts, not just at St. Mary’s but in every area of our lives.

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:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

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 fundraising 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

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if the award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

The Diocesan Parish Share is accounted for when paid, such payments reflecting relief under the Encouragement Scheme.

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:

Heating System 10% per annum on the reducing balance basis Fixtures 15% per annum down to a minimum book value of £ 5 Equipment 25% per annum down to a miminum book value of £ 5
