OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The aim of Holy Trinity is the advancement of religion, covering those things which are part of the normal activity of an Anglican Parish Church. Holy Trinity PCC has expressed this in a statement of its vision:
-
We want our church - the institution, the building and the community of people - to be:
-
holy: we are about God, and offering a setting in which people may encounter God and in which the life of the spirit may flourish.
-
welcoming: we want people to find ways in and belong - whatever their age, background or tradition.
-
learning: we want to be a place where faith and understanding are questioned, explored, discovered and nurtured.
-
caring: we want to share grace of God in Christ through words and deeds. We seek to offer pastoral care, and support the world church.
To assist in fulfilling this statement, PCC works to a set of more specific objectives in set out in a document ’The Next 10 Years’, which was created in 2015 and reviewed during 2018.
The PCC is responsible for furthering the church’s mission throughout the parish, in co-operation with the incumbent. The PCC is also responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the church and the Trinity Centre. Responsibility for maintaining the grounds of the site is shared with Birmingham City Council ('BCC'), whilst the boundary walls are wholly the responsibility of BCC.
Holy Trinity is a member of the Sutton Coldfield Group with two other local Anglican churches, St Chad’s Sutton Coldfield and St Peter’s Maney – the group works together in areas of ministry which benefit from such co-operation. We are also a member of Churches Together in Central Sutton Coldfield, working with other local denominations.
Holy Trinity is an Eco Church, working to improve our relationship with the environment, and a member of Inclusive Church to further promote our vision of openness to all regardless of race, sexuality, etc.
STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT
The PCC operates a structure of committees to which it delegates functions, and each seeks to implement the vision statement within its own sphere of responsibility. From time to time there are also Working Groups of relatively brief duration established to address particular issues. The structure during this year has been:
Standing – monitors the work of the other committees, deals with finance & legal issues between PCC meetings taking urgent decisions on behalf of PCC within defined limits.
Church Life Committees:
Worship & Prayer – oversees regular planning of services, rotas & music, & the planning of special services; oversees links with the prayer groups, and produces parish prayer sheets. Children & Young People – oversees work with young people, both church-based & in the wider parish; & is responsible for compliance with Children & Young People Safeguarding policies.
Buildings & Grounds – supervises maintenance of the buildings and grounds; is also responsible for compliance with health & safety regulations.
Trinity Centre & Church Management – manages the day-to-day running of the buildings, including marketing and letting.
Mission – oversees links with charities and wider church groupings, church magazine, website & general publicity, & organises faith development.
Pastoral Life – oversees pastoral visitors, including baptism team, & is responsible for compliance Vulnerable Adult Safeguarding policies
Social – organizes & promotes social events, & provides catering at other church events. Friends of Holy Trinity – engages with the wider parish, seeking to improve links and generate funding for maintenance of the church building, through a programme of concerts and other events and through activities focused on the building’s heritage.
Standing Committee is made up of senior PCC officers, and chairs of the other committees; each of the other committees and working groups is a mix of PCC members & people drawn from the wider congregation. The PCC and committees have all progressed their areas during the year.
The PCC holds five scheduled meetings each year, one each quarter and an additional one immediately after the Annual Meeting to appoint officers. Occasionally PCC takes votes by on-line communication where a decision is needed particularly quickly on a non-controversial issue. During the year since the last Annual Meeting there have been two extra meetings to deal with specific issues, and a joint meeting with the PCC’s of three other parishes to look at combining in an oversight area. The committees met at regular intervals during the year, and PCC received regular reports from its officers and committees.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE
The electoral roll was revised in the month before the APCM; the number on the roll at the date of the APCM was 128.
Attendance has increased, but is not yet at the levels known before Covid-19 – Average Sunday Attendance counted during October was 62 adults and 10 children. In addition we estimate that 27 people followed the services from home on our live-streamed on-line broadcasts. Numbers at some of the Advent and Christmas services were encouraging.
During the year 25 people were baptized and 0 confirmed; 11 couples were married. 12 funeral services were held in church, with a further 7 taken in the chapels of local crematoria and at local cemeteries.
STAFFING
Revd John Routh served as Rector until his retirement on 1[st] March 2023. Revd Leanne Carr continued as Curate, but since 1[st] August 2022 she has been on secondment to a nearby parish to help during a prolonged vacancy. Both are employed and paid for by the Church Commissioners. Support is given by two Associate Priests – Revd Paul Duckers and Revd Carol Hoare.
At the 2022 Annual Meeting Colin Ingley and Stella Thebridge were re-elected as Church Wardens. Elections for PCC members left one full-term vacancies, and two part-term vacancies.
Holy Trinity employed a full-time Parish Administrator/Trinity Centre Manager until 30[th] September 2022 when she left the post. To replace her we decided to split the role. We employed a part-time Parish Administrator/Trinity Centre Manager from 1[st] December 2022, and a Site Facilitator from 1[st] February 2023. We also employ a parttime Youth Work Co-ordinator, the role largely funded by a grant from Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust.
Our contracted Director of Music through 2022 has been Jobe Baker-Sullivan. Sadly he has decided to step back from that role from 1[st] March 2023, but we are delighted that he will continue as one of our regular organists. We also pay for the services of a self-employed person as evening steward in the Trinity Centre.
Beyond our clergy, main officers and staff, our operations are dependent on the services of a great many volunteers drawn mainly from the congregation. We are grateful for all those who offer their time and skills, but we are aware there are many tasks for which we need additional volunteers.
REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Anglican and ecumenical relationships
The Anglican group continues. We combined for an Ash Wednesday service, shared a Lent group, and held the annual Marriage Preparation Day. Occasional pulpit swaps and weekly clergy morning prayer meetings also recommenced.
Participation in Churches Together in Central Sutton Coldfield continues. Regular meetings of ministers have resumed. We continue to support the food bank run by Sutton Coldfield Baptist Church, which is being asked to support many in need during this financial downturn.
We have maintained some contact with the Masjid, with the rector joining them for Iftar one evening. We hope that face-to-face meetings will resume soon.
Transforming Church/People and Places
In 2021 PCC agreed a Transforming Church Action Plan. The particular areas covered are:
-
increasing inclusiveness and environmental engagement,
-
developing lay leadership, children and families work, and on-line work,
-
rebuilding finances, in particular stewardship and Trinity Centre/church rental income.
We reviewed progress after the first year, and felt we are on target in most areas. The work progresses as we move into later years of the plan.
The Area Dean spoke at PCC in June. Plans for ‘oversight areas’ to enable parishes to work co-operatively have continued to develop. The proposal for Holy Trinity is that Emmanuel, Wylde Green will join with the three group churches. In January 2023 a meeting of people from all four PCC’s considered how we might work together fruitfully.

Queen Elizabeth
During the year our role as Civic Church was to the fore in events related to the Queen. At the Jubilee Celebrations Sutton Coldfield Town Council asked us host the Jubilee Beacon on our grounds – around 250 people gathered for the occasion.
Later in the year, on Her Majesty’s death, we held the town’s memorial service. We also had the town’s Memorial Book in the Vesey Chapel with our doors open to the public to sign the book and spent some time in prayer. The church building was also the location for the Proclamation of the new King.
Buildings
Our buildings are both maintained in good condition. The main issues arising in both places have been heating systems. We continue to have problems with a build-up of residue in the church system, still to be resolved; whilst in the Trinity Centre boilers need replacing – we hope to do this during 2023.
A church quinquennial inspection took place during 2022. The list of works required and recommended is within our means – having decided which to do, we have asked the architect to progress to the tender stage. In the grounds, we understand that during the year Birmingham City Council will do the works to repair the south-west corner of the boundary wall.
In the Trinity Centre we plan to redecorate the Longman Room in 2023.
Worship & prayer
-
During the year we continued to return to pre- Covid-19 arrangements: the main restriction remaining is intincting breads with wine, rather than sharing the chalice. Our patterns of services, both in ordinary time and in church seasons, are now back in place.
-
During the year we agreed to have an ‘All-age’ Service once a month, and to suspend the 5.30pm second
-
Sunday communion as it is very poorly attended.
We welcomed Sutton Coldfield Town Council for the Civic Service, and Bishop Vesey Grammar School for their Founder’s Day Service, for the first time since the Covid-19 outbreak. We have also used the break necessitated by Covid-19 to make some improvements to arrangements on Remembrance Sunday – including an earlier start so we can join the rest of the town at the memorial at 11am; a lower capacity of 400 on attendance for safety reasons, and the presentation of wreaths only by the main dignitaries and Royal British Legion.
Children & young people
In April 2022 we held a morning to reflect on our ministry and outreach to children and families, and young people. A number of ideas were put forward which touch on a number of the committees’ work. A small group has developed these and is looking to ensure they are implemented.
Our mid-week ‘carer and toddler’ group was relaunched with a different format and different name – TC Tots – and so far this has been going very well. A ‘Christmas Experience’ invited families to the building in December. A Teddy Bears’ Picnic is being organized for April 2023, focused on our regular young families, and those recently baptised. We are looking at how to re-form and strengthen our links with uniformed organisations.
Social & pastoral care
Social events, including the monthly Film Club, are now running as normal – building relationships within the church. Pastoral visiting and home communions resumed in the second half of the year, though with fewer visitors and visited than in the past.
Funeral numbers have been broadly as the year before – the number in church is at pre- Covi-19 levels, but there is a significant reduction in those held elsewhere, an experience common across the diocese and national church. Baptisms and weddings are now both happening as normal.
Discipleship & mission
For Lent we encouraged people to attend the sessions offered by other group churches. In the Autumn we had a two-session course looking at the Book of Ruth; the rector also did a ‘teaching eucharist’ at one Sunday 10am service, explaining the structure and each part of the service.
We have continued to work on environmental matters. During the year we supported various charities – Christian Aid, Children’s Society, MacMillan Cancer Support, as well as our charity for 2022, St Basil’s. For 2023 our chosen charity is Birmingham City Mission.
A particular focus this year has been providing a monthly place and time for Ukranian refugees and their hosts to meet. We are also working on our use of social media to advertise our presence and draw people to events.
Friends & heritage
Friends have now resumed a full programme of concerts, supported by the Social team, and we are pleased to see that audiences have returned in good numbers and enjoyed what has been offered. Friends have also taken on responsibility for heritage events. The Heritage Day planned for September was cancelled when

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31[st] December 2022
Queen Elizabeth died. But an art exhibition in December, and a number of visits from schools and other visits ensured that many visitors came to the building and experienced what we have to offer. Financial and other systems
During the year we started the process of moving our bank accounts from HSBC to Cooperative Bank. This is partly to reduce costs, but also to get access to better on-line and counter facilities.
In recent months David Thebridge has been considering software packages for financial recording/reporting and for hire of Trinity Centre space and at making use of cloud storage. Together these could save us considerable administrative time and effort, and allow more flexible working.
Legal matters and policies
We believe we fully comply with legislation, in particular that covering Data Protection (Karen Wright is the Officer responsible), Health and Safety (Paul Medlicott) and Safeguarding (Revd John Routh, supported by Liz Petley). The relevant policies and our compliance with them are reviewed regularly, with an opportunity to report at the four quarterly PCC meetings.
Preparing for Vacancy
In June 2022, the Rector told us he would be retiring in early 2022. In the following months he laid some of the groundwork for the coming vacancy, and handed on a number of the tasks he has normally done. In January PCC held a meeting without John to begin to reflect on our future direction and needs; and in March, after John had left, a similar exercise was done with the wider congregation – led by the Area Dean.
The last few years, with so much focus on Covid-19, have been difficult. But we are now safely through them, and rebuilding. The time of vacancy will be difficult, but we look to the future with confidence, knowing we build on sound foundations.
FINANCES (including Reserves Policy)
Assets and Liabilities
PCC has received regular reports on finance and investments. Fixed assets decreased by £46,115 during the year, within which the value of investments decreased by £33,722 reflecting share prices in the current financial downturn. Net current assets increased by £34,548, within which bank/cash balances and cash deposits increased by £31,542 reflecting the receipt of two legacies during the year.
Overall, unrestricted and designated funds total £399,166 while restricted funds and endowments total £93,096.
Main Operating Funds Key features of the funds covering day-to-day operations during the year are: Income & Expenditure Account
This is an unrestricted fund. Overall income totalled £139,377, a decrease of £961 (0.7%) on the previous year. The main regular source of income is planned giving and the collection plate; at £99,971 this was £5,207 (5.0%) less than the year before reflecting the deaths of several members over the last two years, and the difficult financial times experienced by the congregation generally. Grants were at a similar level to 2021, despite that earlier year invading Covid-19 support – this reflects Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust supporting the costs of our youth work. Other income headings were broadly in line with 2021.
Expenditure was £152,368, an increase of £16,887 (12.5%) on the previous year. This reflects the return to a fuller level of activity post Covid-19, as well as a slightly different treatment of the costs of curate’s housing. Amongst the regular major costs: the contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund was £68,775, salary costs were £24,421, insurance of the church building was £11,074, and utility charges were £6,883. We are fortunate to have fixed price contracts for utilities that have protected us from energy price rises so far.
The resulting deficit was £12,991. After a planned transfer from the Renewal Fund to support us during the Covid-19 recovery, the closing balance was £5,099. Our general long-term aim is to hold a balance of around £38,000 in this Fund, which is approximately 3 months’ outgoings. The £33,000 difference is set aside within the Renewal Fund.
Trinity Centre Operations Fund
This is a designated fund. Income to the fund was £50,862, an increase of £24,198 (90.7%) on the previous year as lettings returned to near pre- Covid-19 levels. Expenditure was £41,187, an increase of £1,846 (0.5%).
Overall we recorded a surplus of £9,675, leaving a closing balance of £10,901. Our long-term aim is to hold around £18,000 in this fund, which is approximately 3.0 months’ normal outgoings plus the value of fixed assets attributable to this fund. The £7,000 difference is set aside within the Renewal Fund.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31[st] December 2022
The combined deficit of these two funds was £3,316, an improvement of £4,504 on the previous year and a considerably better outcome than we had budgeted. We continue to work on developing sources of income for both funds. Meanwhile we continue to monitor our finances closely.
Our most recent financial projections suggest that, taking a cautious view on income increases, we will need to fund continuing (though reducing) deficits for several years after which we will return to surpluses and build up the operating fund reserves to our target figures. We have set aside some funds currently held in the Renewal Fund to fund the shortfalls during that period.
Other funds
Turning to our other funds, both designated and restricted, the key features for the year and our policies towards those funds are:
Renewal Fund
This fund is now designated, all funds restricted to the reordering project having been spent. Income was £34,249, from two legacies and investment income. Expenditure was £8,368, mainly depreciation. Investments decreased in value by £14,691.
After a transfer to support the Income & Expenditure account, the closing balance was £250,992. We will retain enough in this fund to cover depreciation of the related fixed assets (currently £64,593) and the working capital needs of the main operating funds. The fund will not be fully absorbed by this, and PCC will use it to support our main operating funds while they recover from the impact of Covid-19 and the current financial downturn, and apply any surplus to future projects deemed appropriate to renewal and development of our church life.
Fabric Fund
The purpose of this fund is maintenance of the church & grounds. The fund is part designated, part restricted (where donations come from the Friends Fund). Net expenditure in the year was £1,049. After a transfer from Friends the closing balance of £73,196. We expect to use part of this during the next year to carry our work following from the 2022 Quinquennial Inspection.
Under normal circumstances we aim to build up the balance on a 5 year cycle so that around £50,000 is available to pay for costs arising from Quinquennial Inspections, the next one being due in the next year or so. However, longer term, we are aware the south aisle roof will need replacement at a (current) cost of around £100,000. So over the next few years we aim to increase the Fund beyond £50,000 if possible.
Trinity Centre Maintenance Fund
The purpose of this designated fund is maintenance of the Trinity Centre. Net expenditure was £5,243, whilst underlying investment values decreased by £11,190. The closing balance was £88,567. Whilst this is below our target balance we anticipate investment values will recover.
As the building and its equipment ages some repairs and replacements will be costly, so our aim is to maintain a balance of around £100,000. We expect the first of these major outlays, replacement of heating boilers, to happen during 2023.
Friends of Holy Trinity
Friends engages with the wider parish community and offers them a means of supporting the maintenance and development of the church fabric. This restricted fund deals with Friends operations. Activity has increased but is not yet at pre- Covid-19 levels. Income was £15,243, with costs of £9,112. After a transfer to the Fabric Fund of £12,000, the closing balance was £2,579, above our target of £1,500 to cover working capital needs.
Other Funds
The Clara Fowler Charity Endowment (£30,576) and Assistant Curates Fund (£30,353) both suffered from decreases in the value of investments during the year. Both funds have very restricted uses, being the payment of the costs of having stipendiary clergy - details of the income allocation for these funds is given in note 6 of the accounts.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND REMEMBRANCE
PCC gives its thanks to all who have contributed to the life of Holy Trinity over the last year - as officers, as committee members, or as willing helpers filling the many roles necessary within our church community. Finally, since the beginning of 2022 we have seen the deaths of several members of our church community, past and present: Margaret Box, Lucy Rawlins and Jane Steeley. We remember them with love and thanks.
On behalf of the PCC Colin Ingley, Chairman.
