Aims and purposes
The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the clergy in promoting to the public, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. Under the Constitution of the Team Ministry, the PCC delegates to the District Church Councils (DCC’s) of St Mark and St Mary the day to day promotion of the mission of the Church and the care and maintenance of the church buildings.
Activities
Having come to the parish only in the last year I have been at the tail end of the pandemic restrictions. In my curacy parish lockdown was tough, the workload increased dramatically, and the days never seemed to end, so I can only imagine the difficulties that we had in our parish. It has
been incredible to see how so much hard work has kept our churches going in such difficult circumstances. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers at Saint Andrew’s, Saint Mary’s and Saint Mark’s, and you all as PCC for your hard work and diligence in what has been such a challenging time for everybody.
We continue in these challenging times both at home and abroad. Some estimates suggest that the fall in the standard of living is at its fastest rate since the 1950s due to the increase in costs of gas and oil. This will have a marked impact on our own costs as churches and our congregations and their ability to give. In the broader picture, war is on our doorstep and the world feels like a much less secure place. I grew up after the Iron Curtain fell, when it felt like the world was ‘coming together’ in peace. These illusions have finally been shattered. Our challenge is, despite the difficulties, to continue to be God’s people. When I read Paul’s letters nowadays, I feel like they have more relevance than ever; so many of his churches were going through tough times, yet his letters are so full of encouragement to keep the faith, to be a people of hope and love, to be patient, and to not weary of doing good. Paul reminds them, as we are reminded ourselves at this Easter Time, that there are hard times to go through, but the promise of Resurrection is just around the corner; death is not the end, it is the beginning of New Creation.
Times are changing for us as well as we make the move to become a United Benefice, bringing Holy Rood Swinton officially into the fold as a part of the Worsley Team and creating two financially independent PCCs, Saint Andrews and Saint Marys, and Saint Mark’s. This will give parity to all four churches in our team. Father Alan Simpson at the diocese in getting this moving with all the legalities and we hope to have this completed by the beginning of July or August this year. I know that this has been on the cards for many years, and I am so happy that we are finally making it happen. This will enable us to focus on our mission priorities and allow each church to make its own decisions about their finances. Financial independence doesn’t mean that we become completely independent of each other. We are still a team together, a team with the call to be God’s people in our individual contexts; to see where there are opportunities to serve our communities, to bring others to faith and to nurture our congregations. I want to keep working with the whole team, looking for the opportunities mission and growth and working together to make it happen. I am looking forward to seeing where God leads us in our new chapter as a team.
Financial Review
Income for the year totaled £147,533 and expenditure £173,509, giving a loss of £20,646. This compares with an underlying loss of £24,561 in 2020. Losses have been caused by reduced income and attendance at church services, baptisms, weddings, funerals, church hall rental and general fund raising events as a result of the closure of our places of worship during the pandemic. Expenses have been tightly controlled but because of the financial pressures from reduced income the Parish was unable to meet its parish share by £16,488 (2020 £19,782) Whilst the parish remains currently financially strong, losses cannot continue, so ot is pleasing to note that in the current year (2022) so far the parish is breaking even.
Reserves Policy
Over many years the Church has accumulated its Unrestricted General Fund from bequests of property and general income. The church of St Mark itself is a Grade 1 listed building and in now 175 years old. The Parish has been made aware that extensive repair work is needed to St Mark Church which will require substantial financing. Accordingly the PCC considers it prudent policy to maintain general funds at current levels to guard against the loss in value of its investment, the fabric of the Church and its surroundings and related high maintenance costs.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PAROCHIAL CHURCH OF ST MARK WORSLEY
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of St Mark Worsley (the Church Council) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Church Council you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Church Council’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Church Council as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
