2023 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of Holy Trinity Church, Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
1. AIMS AND PURPOSES
Holy Trinity Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of collaborating with the incumbent, the Reverend Tim Sanderson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish and wider city the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
2. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
As a worshipping community in Jesmond, gathered from across the city and beyond, we aspire to be ‘opened up to God and opened out to others’. At the heart of our church is a desire to be Jesus-centred and Jesus-focused and, in reflecting this, being a community of prayerful and missional disciples. The breadth of the mission and ministry of Holy Trinity can be expressed through the 5 marks of mission:
- Mark 1 'To proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God' Mark 2 'To teach, baptise and nurture disciples’ Mark 3 'To respond to human need by loving service’
Mark 4 'To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation’ Mark 5 ‘To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth’
Each mark helps us organise our resources, activities and priorities as we hold them in balance.
3. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
2023 was a year characterised by consolidating our existing ministry and mission, strengthening safeguarding and volunteer recruitment systems, and seeing the launch of new ventures such as Lifepath and Coffee & Connect. As a church we devoted significant time to distilling strategic priorities for the future and identifying potential areas of growth.
The PCC met six times this year to oversee matters pertaining to safeguarding, finance, buildings, health and safety and ministry and mission. In particular it reviewed and discussed: Sunday worship services and strategic plan formation (January 23), the centenary year and plans for Lent (March 23), finance policies and church re-pointing and roofing (May 23), strategic plan and polycarbonate window coverings replacement (July 23), parish share and staffing (Oct 23), church hall re-development and Jesmond festival plans (Nov 23).
2
During Lent 2023, all church members were invited to participate in a process of review and strategy formation to help identify our priorities for the next few years. The contributions and comments received continue to shape how we best use our resources and staffing and how we determine our next strategic steps as a church. This process continues into 2024. Throughout the year, we have tried to work in ways that are highly responsive to the changing context and offer a range of services that we hope our community would find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling.
We have summarised our achievements and performance below and grouped these around the 5 marks of mission.
Mark 1 'To proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God'
‘Being good news, sharing good news’
Proclamation takes place in both words and actions by being good news in the places where we live, work, socialise and worship. It looks different for each one of us and is the foundation of all effective mission. As a church we are involved in a whole range of activities that aim to reach out and engage with our community.
This year, the Love our Community week ran from the 24th- 30th July. In the mornings we ran a well-attended pop-up café in the church, which included activities for parents and toddlers. We de-weeded and litter picked the local area. There were positive conversations with people in our parish who don’t usually engage with Church, and good engagement with local residents, making a positive impact in the community. On the Saturday we hosted a fun day in our church gardens and the week concluded with a service on the Sunday.
Messy Church met bi-monthly throughout the year and continued to thrive and be fruitful with an average attendance of 145 people at each event. Messy Church provides a rich all-age learning environment for all generations to explore the Christian faith together and feel a sense of belonging and community. Those coming along feel very much a part of our Messy Church community and, though not regular Sunday church service attendees, would say that Holy Trinity is their church. As well as celebrating Easter and Christmas together, we have explored the ‘parables of Jesus’ as our theme for each session. The team of volunteers continues to be very committed and enthusiastic, including our junior leaders. It is great to see them grow in their faith as they take on responsibilities at Messy Church. A challenge moving forward is to consider how best to provide opportunities for those who wish to explore faith more deeply.
Our Open the Book team (a joint venture with Heaton Baptist church) worked throughout the year, visiting local primary schools (Christ Church Shieldfield, St Lawrence’s RC Byker, Chillingham Road Heaton and St Teresa’s RC Heaton) to take assemblies each week that focused on the telling of Bible stories.

A new exciting initiative called Lifepath was launched in Newcastle, based at Holy Trinity Church as a development of our schools-based work. Lifepath is an interactive and engaging RE curriculum-based day out from school. It focusses on learning about the life and faith of a Northern saint and how that faith shaped their ‘lifepath’. Across two days in June 168 children aged 8-9 years old were invited to the church to come and learn about the life and faith of St Oswald. Some arrived on foot (like the original pilgrims would have done) and some by bus. The children took part in craft and prayer workshops, a Bible storytelling workshop and they watched a drama and sang. They also learnt about the theme of ‘Emmanuel’: God was with Oswald all through his life and can be with each one of us too.
The team of 34 volunteers was gathered from 4 local churches. We all dressed up as monks! Some acted as Pilgrim Guides and others ran the workshops, provided refreshments, sound and security. At the end of the day all the children were given a copy of the book called ‘Diary of a Disciple’. This book is a contemporary retelling of the first three chapters of Luke’s gospel. Overall, the day was brilliant. The children loved every moment, the teaching staff appreciated the content and the team felt encouraged and energized to have been able to share their faith with so many children in such a special way. Following on from the success of this, we hope to run Lifepath again next year.
Mark 2 'To teach, baptise and nurture disciples’
Being disciples, making disciples
Christian discipleship is about keeping going as a lifelong follower of Jesus, whatever stage of life we find ourselves in. We are called to be a multigenerational discipling community that nurtures and supports each other and where people can feel they belong and also grow as disciples. 2023 was both a time of fresh growth and consolidation as the church family.
We welcomed a number of new people into our church family. At present there are 176 people on the Church Electoral Roll . 10 names were added during the year and 5 were removed either through death or because they moved church or away from Newcastle.
We offered a range of church services in a hybrid form of in-person meeting with live-streaming. Our service themes included exploring together the book of Daniel, journeys in Acts and The Lord’s Prayer with Bible study materials provided for small groups and individuals. We are so grateful to all who volunteers to help with Sunday children’s work, welcome, wardening and refreshment, service livestreaming and music provision.
Music continues to play an important role supporting, enhancing and inspiring our Sunday worship. A very special thanks to our Christmas Choir, conducted by Martin Duddy, which year after year leads our carol singing and performs so
4
brilliantly at our Carols by Candlelight Services. The pool of musicians including singers is much lower than it has been in previous years and most of the young people we had have moved on so we would welcome anyone who would like to join in playing any instrument or sing. The rota is made according to people’s availability with a practice 1 hour before each service so it does not need to be a big commitment. There is also currently nobody in a position of leadership of this aspect of our ministry which means a lot of responsibility falls to Tim.
The average weekly in-person attendance at Sunday services was approximately 160 people, same as 2022 (but a decline of 20% compared to pre-pandemic numbers). This indicates new patterns in church attendance. However, these figures do not take into account those joining on-line. Christmas service attendance followed a similar pattern. In contrast, the total number of people identified as part of our worshipping community (excluding Messy Church) is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels. We estimate this figure to be 294 people, with 28% of those being under 18 and 17% aged 70 plus (these percentages have remained similar to previous years). We have celebrated 10 baptisms and no weddings and held 5 funerals in our church or at crematoriums during this year.
Through this year our Sunday youth and children’s groups have been well attended with some of the children coming weekly along with their families. Most weeks we can have around 55 children and young people. During the year a number of events have been held for the church children such as the Easter Fun morning and October Light Party . Once again, the children and young people did an excellent job as they took a lead in our all-age carol service in December.
Throughout the year there have also been lots of opportunities for social events for individual age groups. Pathfinders (11-13’s) have enjoyed a pancake party, bowling, fish and chips at the beach and a pizza and games night. Explorers (711’s) enjoyed their trip to Monsieur Crepes and their picnic lunch and Stick Dance practice after Church.
In September, CYFA (14 plus group) started to meet every week during the morning service. We studied Mark’s Gospel, looked at the Alpha course and had an excellent series on social justice issues. We have had a couple of fun social activities at the Escape room and a ‘Traitors’ themed evening. As always, we are very grateful for the many members of the church who volunteer each Sunday to help lead these groups and support our children and young people in their faith journeys.
Small groups continue to form a valuable place for discipleship and nurture and all eight groups have continued to meet regularly throughout the year. In the middle of the year we tried to refresh the groups by encouraging different ways of meeting. Disappointingly, this did not result in more people joining a small group. Bible study materials and resources provided have been positively received and welcomed. A new group based at the coast was established and is going well.
5
The main challenges have been finding new leaders, encouraging people not in a group to join one and maintaining connections in groups where people are very busy.
Mark 3 'To respond to human need by loving service’ Being community, serving community
Just as God reached out to us as his valued children in love and compassion, so that same love spills out through us as we see the needs around us and respond. We continue to encourage people to serve where they see the need in the places God has put them: home, school, workplace, networks and leisure activities.
In 2023 our activities continued regularly in the hall, despite the need for building to be redeveloped. The PCC continued the process of exploring the redevelopment of our church hall . Initial surveys had been completed in 2022 and basic draft plans drawn up but, with spiralling building costs and a cost of living crisis, it was decided to hold off till 2024 before both consulting the church on the designs and applying for planning permission.
Our pastoral care systems continued to be revised in the face of the ever changing emerging context of life. We have been able to respond well to local needs through the collections for the foodbank, support for local refugees, our warm space provision and responding to individuals in crisis.
Throughout the year, volunteers from Holy Trinity continued to visit and support families seeking asylum who were based in a hotel in Jesmond. This has been a superb example of a holistic ministry to support women and children through offering friendship, crafts and play and community. Though initially starting as a knitting group in 2022, this work has blossomed with a varied programme of activities and opportunities and has been an accepting, affirming safe space for people who have faced huge challenges and uncertainty. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this work. The hotel closed to those seeking asylum in January 2024.
The Parish Safeguarding Group (PSG) continued to meet to oversee (on behalf of the PCC) Safer Recruiting and create, manage and maintain environments that are safe for all. During the last year there have been no safeguarding alerts within Holy Trinity. In November we celebrated Safeguarding Sunday with clips, a short film and a talk on how Safeguarding involves everyone within our church community. We remain at level 3 certification (the top level) in the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard system introduced in 2021 and are now also using a new on-line Safeguarding Hub tool from the Diocese, which will enable the PSG and the PCC to keep track of Safer Recruitment and up to date training needed for working roles across all church activities. The PCC has complied with the duty to have ‘due regard’ to the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.

Vintage offers a place of welcome, warmth and good food for the older members of our community. We alternate between meals and coffee mornings. A regular group of people comes faithfully and enjoys socialising with each other and eating the food. We have a great group of volunteers who run like a well-oiled machine. We also appreciate the time we spend together before the guests arrive when we chat about our weeks and spend some time reading and discussing the Bible and praying. Communion is celebrated once a month after a meal and about fifteen people stay for this. We want to celebrate that this has become a monthly event again and that it is well attended. Our continued challenge is how to encourage new people to come, how and where to advertise, and seeing the opportunities to share our faith with the people who come.
Trinity Tots , our parent, carer and toddler group has had a very happy and busy year. In September a large number of our core families, who we had journeyed through Covid times with, moved on as their children were starting school. However, a new core group has emerged and the strong sense of community continues along with the hugely loyal and committed team of volunteers. On average, 25 families attend each week. We have stopped using a waiting list but we do ask people to sign up to a full half term at a time. Throughout the year we have had a busy programme of events and have also held some excellent socials for the parents and team too. Once again, lots of our Trinity Tots families have joined in at Messy Church, Love Our Community and the various Christmas services.
This has been a good year for HT walks . Despite the weather being universally poor and wet this year, it is amazing that the group has only cancelled one walk. Highlights of this year have included the number of walkers increasing, frequently reaching 20 plus. This includes new members; some not from Holy Trinity. The August Lakes weekend was repeated using the former Keswick Convention centre. Many thanks to former HT members, Keith and Linda Rigg, for cooking the group a delicious Saturday evening meal and to Phil Brookes for organising a great time. We have continued to support our local hospitality sector! Thanks to the pubs, cafés and teashops who have welcomed our muddy boots. Again, huge thanks to the walk leaders for their time and commitment. A challenge for next year is to have new leaders to share the load on the existing leaders. It is a privilege to enjoy our lovely, varied part of the UK and also the friendship and fellowship of our group.
One new initiative this year was our Coffee & Connect group meeting on Wednesday mornings as part of the Warm Space initiative. Coffee and Connect started in November 2023 in response to suggestions and requests from members of the congregation for more opportunities to meet together. Working alongside the Warm Space Initiative we opened the side chapel lounge on Wednesday mornings from 10.30 until 12.00. Numbers attending have been small but those of us who have met regularly have enjoyed getting to know one another better and enjoyed times of friendship and laughter.

Making our buildings fit for purpose to serve the mission of the church and serve the community has continued to be a priority. This year saw general repairs and servicing to boilers and heaters in church and church hall, the testing of all portable devices and replacement of some light fittings within the church. Roof repairs were carried out to Side Chapel and pointing work on the areas around the flat roofs. Felting repairs on the hall roof, insulation to pipes in the boiler room and repairs to door frames in church and church hall were also attended to. The area around the church hall was cleared of trees and ivy and general gardening maintenance took place as well as a full deep clean and redecorating of the church hall. A major piece of work has been the repairs to the stained glass windows carried out following damage by footballs. Replacement polycarbonate coverings were installed to the St Paulinus and St Ebba windows and new metal window grills installed to the north side of church. In terms of Health and Safety, Risk Assessments and Evacuation Plans were updated for the church, church hall and all activities. Further improvements consisted of new toilet seats, improved signage and safety lines painted onto exterior steps
The Holy Trinity Trust oversees the funds received from the PCC following the sale of St Barnabas and St Jude’s Church that have been agreed should be used for funding the church hall redevelopment project. The funds are invested in various interest-bearing accounts which individually do not exceed the Financial Services Compensation limit and these are regularly reviewed to achieve maximum return. The current trustees are the vicar, churchwarden, Douglas Lovelock, Paul Wright and John Matthews (secretary). Lilian Lovelock acts as treasurer.
We continue to play our part in the wider Church of England structures, offering training placements to Lindisfarne and Cranmer Hall students. Deanery Synod met four times over the course of 2023. The focus of the meetings was to work on a Deanery Mission Plan. This is part of the Diocese’s ‘Next Steps’ project as we seek to determine God’s calling for us in the next few years. In this plan, deaneries will play a much more strategic role in determining how resources are deployed and will look for new avenues of growth. Much of our time as a Deanery Synod has been spent looking at what resources we hold together now and seeking ways to improve collaboration and communication. With finances tight it has become clear that greater co-operation between parishes will be key to our growth in the next couple of years.
Mark 4 'To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation’ Living justly, acting justly
We are called to reflect God’s radical agenda of justice and reconciliation in our priorities as a church through challenging oppression, campaigning for transformation, living ethically and supporting individuals and organisations. In
8
2023 we continued to support our mission partners, raise money for various campaigning organisations through on-line events and reflect the values of the 4[th] mark in our services and intercessions.
As a church we continue to commit to buying fairtrade and other ethically sourced goods for church activities. During the year we have prayed for and supported organisations and charities such as Christian Aid, Tear Fund, Junction 42, the People’s Kitchen and, where appropriate, promoted various campaigns.
We continue to support mission partners in their work across the world. The PCC appointed Ian Farrimond to lead a Mission Partner sub-group to oversee this work. It has looked at the scope and possible work of the group. It has looked at our present Mission Partner roster and how we can better support them as a church. The Group, with input from HT Treasurer John Matthews, has also reviewed the Mission Partner budget and how that is disbursed to our various partners. There are currently four Mission Partners who receive funding on either a monthly or quarterly basis, namely: These are: Ben & Sandeep Wildman - Sports Friends , Eric & Sandra Reid - CMS , Youth for Christ North East , and Ian & AnnMarie Prescott in the Philippines - OMF International UK (focused on Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora). Jes and Janes Bates, Malawi, were Mission Partners until their return to the UK in 2023 when the need to support them ceased. This means there is at least one ‘space’ in our Mission Partner roster to be filled. In 2023 we also made donations to Junction 42, Shirley Community Chaplaincy, Spring and Co, Oasis Housing, and Katie Renshaw for her work with UCCF in Leeds. Regular updates on our partners are posted in the weekly email.
Mark 5 ‘To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth’
Living green, going green
The Missio Dei starts with the cross and the resulting restoration of humanity and then spills out into the renewal of the world, offering wholeness and peace to a broken planet. We are called to promote the wellbeing of the human community and its environment, so that creation may live in harmony.
In December 2022 we achieved the silver eco-church award. This means we are improving and widening the ways in which we are energy efficient, thoughtful in our operations, and engaging with sustainability issues. We engaged with climate change campaigning initiatives locally and internationally. Through church services and the sharing of resources, we encouraged people to live in ways that are sustainable and intentionally pursue a green agenda. We continue to work towards gold certification.

4. FINANCIAL REVIEW
We depend on the generous support of church members whose donations make it possible to continue God’s ministry at Holy Trinity. In 2023 donations were £177,538, a 2% increase from last year. Overall expenditure increased by 12% which was largely due to the cost of maintaining and heating the buildings which enable us to provide a welcoming environment for worship and ministry.
Our largest expenditure is on our Parish Share through which we fund our own clergy plus an additional contribution for other diocesan clergy in parishes with fewer resources. We have maintained our commitment to give away 10% of the unrestricted donations to support our mission partners, local and short-term mission.
Last year the full pointing work that was budgeted for in 2023 was not carried out because of adverse weather and limited contractor availability. We benefitted from early Gift Aid claims of £36 000 and we were able to transfer £28 000 into the fabric fund. This will be used toward the outstanding maintenance and repair work which amounts to an estimated £48 500.
We make good use of the church hall which is used by the local community and income from room hire has increased by 35%. We are committed to ethical banking and we use the Co-operative Bank and the Skipton Building Society, both of which are approved by the JustMoney movement.
5. RESERVES POLICY
The Reserves Policy was reviewed by the PCC on 3[rd] October 2023. It was agreed that the Reserve Fund should continue to provide sufficient funds to ensure the continued functioning of Holy Trinity Church in the event of any unforeseen financial problems and that the excess of any insurance claim can be met. The total funds to be held for unforeseen circumstances should be no less than two months running costs (currently £39 000) and an additional month of salaries costs (currently £3 000), making a total of £42 000.
Reserve funds are required not only for unforeseen problems but also to provide for future planned needs. It was therefore agreed that a Fabric Fund should also be built up to meet the expected costs of repairs identified in the most recent Quinquennial Inspection (2019). This was estimated to be £46 000.
MONITORING PROCEDURE
The PCC must approve any use of the Reserve Fund and the Fabric Fund. This policy will be reviewed annually and may be amended by the Parochial Church Council at any time.
6. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules . At Holy Trinity the membership of the PCC consists of the
10
incumbent, churchwardens, Operations Manager and members elected by those in the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All who attend our services or consider themselves members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members, as our board of trustees have a particular interest in governance, safeguarding, building and finance but also make decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish. The full PCC met six times during the year with an average level of attendance of 85%. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has a number of committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include the Parish Safeguarding Group and Mission Partner sub group, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

APPENDIX 2
PARISH OF HOLY TRINITY JESMOND Minutes of the ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING and VESTRY MEETING Sunday 23[rd] April 2023 at 11.00am At Holy Trinity Church
Welcome and Notices
This year’s APCM took place during the morning service. Tim welcomed everyone to the meeting. There were 107 adults in attendance.
Opening Worship
The meeting began with a time of worship and prayer. The reading was from Matthew 6:25 -34.
Vicars Comments
Tim addressed the meeting with an overview of the past year highlighting times of challenge as well as celebration.
C100
2022 was our Centenary year and it was a privilege to celebrate our church building and see so many people come through the doors to visit the exhibition and to attend events. For most of 2022 we remained under the shadow of Covid but the Centenary celebrations gave us a route map forward which was a gift to us here at Holy Trinity. We are so grateful to God for His faithfulness to this church since it was first opened, right the way through to the present day. As we look to the future, we can remain confident that God will continue to guide our steps as we journey on.
Buildings
PCC continues to work behind the scenes looking after the buildings. At present there is extensive work which will need to be carried out to repoint the outside of the church and outstanding repairs to the roof. The redevelopment of the church hall had to be paused at the pre planning stage due to the increased price of building materials. The cost of the redevelopment is estimated to be approximately 1.3 million pounds and work to get the project moving again will happen as soon as things settle.
Reestablishing Ministry
2022 saw us continue to reestablish our ministries post pandemic. Many churches have struggled since Covid to reach pre pandemic attendance levels and we are no exception. Over the past year attendance at Holy Trinity on a Sunday fell by 6%, with less people coming less often. Across the country, patterns of church attendance are changing and we will have to wait and see if these new patterns
16
persist and if so, work out how best to accommodate them. The drop in attendance also put additional strain on our areas of ministry, as volunteer resources become scarce. Despite a reduced number of volunteers however we did achieve everything that we set out to do last year. It was great to welcome David Tully and Terry Harkins, both recently retired clergy as well as Ian Farrimond who was relicensed as a Reader.
Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty to have ‘due regard’ to the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.
Thank You
Tim thanked the Staff Team, Standing Committee, PCC, retired clergy, Readers, lay leaders, our warden and assistant wardens, the C100 planning group and all who head up our areas of mission for all they did to support the mission and ministry here at Holy Trinity over the past year.
VESTRY MEETING
1. Minutes of the Previous Meeting held on April the 24[th] 2022.
There was one correction to the previous Minutes. Under Section 11, AOB, line 3, it should read that we allocate 10% of our unrestricted giving to mission partners, not our restricted giving.
Decision: The Minutes of the last meeting were received as an accurate record with one correction.
2. Matters Arising
There was one matter arising. PCC have since confirmed that the allocation of funds to mission and mission partners will appear in the budget as 10% of our annual unrestricted giving.
3. Finance and Statement of Accounts and Independent Examiners Report
The accounts have been checked by the independent examiner and a summary published in the APCM report sent with the weekly email. A copy of the full accounts is available from John Matthews. There were no concerns or questions about the accounts.
Decision: The Holy Trinity accounts were approved by the meeting with two abstentions.
Tim thanked John for all his work over the past year in keeping the accounts accurate and up to date.
4. Appointment of Accounts Examiner
Anita Morris has been our independent examiner for several years and is happy to continue in that role.
17
Decision: Anita Morris was unanimously appointed the Accounts Examiner for another year.
5. 2022 APCM Report
The APCM Report highlighted some of the things we celebrated and some of the challenges we faced over the past year. A copy of the report was sent out electronically in the weekly email. Paper copies are available from the office.
6. Election of Church Wardens
There was only one nomination for church warden again this year. Tim asked the meeting to pray about who might be willing to serve a term as a second warden.
Decision: Liz Cook was unanimously elected as church warden for another year.
Tim thanked Liz and the assistant wardens for their help and support throughout last year.
7. Election to Deanery Synod
Liz Cook, Ruth O’Hagan and Ros Johnson were nominated for reelection onto Deanery Synod.
Decision: Liz Cook, Ruth O’Hagan and Ros Johnson were unanimously reelected onto Deanery Synod for another three years .
8. Election of PCC members
Tim thanked Jonathan Wake and Rachel Barkman-Astles for their invaluable contributions to PCC. There were two nominations for PCC.
Decision: Mhairi Dugan and Alexi Thornhill were elected onto PCC to serve a threeyear term. Margaret Lawson was re-elected onto PCC for a further three-year term.
9. Prayer of Commissioning
Ali McCarthy invited all members of PCC, the warden, the assistant wardens as well as the Deanery Synod representatives to stand while she prayed for them.
10. Closing Worship and Prayer
Before the meeting closed, Alison Edwards thanked Tim on behalf of the congregation for his steadfast and courageous leadership over the past year.
The meeting was closed with a further time of worship and prayer.
