Report and financial statements

Trustees, Report
The Trustees present their report and audited financial statements for the year ended 31 St December 2024.
1. Introduction
Bowdon Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. It is responsible for
the running of St Mary's and St Luke's churches in Bowdon, Cheshire and is part of the Diocese of Chester within
the Church of England. Bowdon PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend lan
Rumsey (now retired), in the promotion of the objectives and activities of the ecclesiastical parish that are derived
from the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, ecumenical and social.
The PCC is also responsible for the fabric of St Mary's church, St Luke's church, the Bowdon Parish Centre and
one residential property.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.
All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
2. Structure, Governance and Management
The Ecclesiastical Parish is setved by St. Mary's church and St Luke's church and Zone 2 in Bowdon. Members of
the PCC are drawn from all congregations.
The Parish is now in a period of Vacancy and is being managed by the PCC and the Operations Team.
Churchwardons
For historical reasons and unusually for an Anglican church, Bowdon Parish has four churchwardens (tsyo parochial
and kn manorial), which is very fortunate for us, given the number of services held each Sunday at St Mary's, St
Luke's and Zone 2. Debi Green, Jo Howling, Tim Borthwick and John Newton continued as wardens, assisted by
Michael Parish , Ann Ford and lan Scott-Dunn as deputy wardens, a team of sides-people led by Adrian Hope and
our Servers, Guild led by Alec Bonson.
Our Admlnlstratlve Team has been led by Kay Holt along with a team of Parish Office volunteers. In addition, the
whole organisation is supported by many volunteers leading and assisting with the running of our many church
groups and activities from cleaning the church to running the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. All these groups
enable us to connect with our parishioners, thus giving us an opportunity to help them in the journey of belonging
and believing.
The PCC Trustees are very gratefvl to all those who give of their time and talents, both paid staff and volunteers,
with this support we have become one of the top quartile of churches in the Church of England who a￿ able to
demonstrate growth in their membership.
The Parochlal Church Council meets regularly and in the financial year from January to December 2024 met 6
times. All meetings were 'in person, now that we have come through covid.
The PCC operates day to day by virtue of the following teams plus the Administrative Team referred to above.

3. Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of
our parish community. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and
sacrament.
INhen planning our activities for the year, the PCC has considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit
and in particular, the specific 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..
Worship and prayer.. learning about the Gospel,. and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people of all ages living in the parish.
Missionary and outreach work.
4. Achlevements and Perforniance
We have been in a vacancy since July 2022 and so 2024 has been a year of keeping the stability of the parish in
check. We are enormously grateful to Revd Keith Hines, Revd John Sutton and Revd Dr Margaret Jones and our
lafge team of Lay Worship Leaders who have enabled us to maintain our service pattem during that time. Our lay
leaders have received guidan￿ and support from the Revd Dr Andrew Knight, our Rural Dean, and also John
Sutton. Our choir was invited to sing at York Minster in August and continues to attract young singers - most
notably three new choral scholars funded by the PCC,
Our PCC has undertaken Safeguarding training at both basic and foundation level and recently adopted a Parish
Statement on Domestic Abuse. In July, we agreed to continue to adopt the House of Bishops, Policy Statement
"Promoting a Safer Church (2017) insofar as it relates to the work of the Parish.. A new Safeguarding Officer was
appointed in November who reports on any Safeguarding issues at PCC meetings. Several PCC members
attended an Unconscious Bias training trial led by Dr Margaret Jones for Chester Diocese.
A member of the PCC is now an active member of both the General Synod and the Diocesan Synod and keeps us
up to date on new initiatives such as Bishop Mark's vision of carrying out Christ's mission to seek the lost and share
the Good News in our diocese. Another member has recently qualified as a Mental Health First Alder which will
enable her to look after anyone with mental health issues until they are able to get professional help.
Despite a lot of our time being taken up with the major repair of our churchyard wall and the vacancy, we have
managed to gain our bronze award as an Eco Church and are working towards the silver award. An energy audit
was made in August of St Mary's. St Luke's and the Parish Centre and we will be considering the report's
recommendats.ons as part of our long-term plan to get to net zero carbon by 2030.
Looking beyond our parish, we have continued to support The Hope Centre in Partington with weekly donations of
food and Care UK Refugee Aid and St Ann's Hospice with clothing and household items. Our Christingle services
raised money for The Children's Society and weekly collections are made for Compassion by St Luke's and Zone2
to support the education of children in Ghana, the Dominican Republic and Indonesia. We raised £4,000 for
Christian Aid during May. During the winter months, we provided a "Warm Welcome" space in St Luke's each
week to help with high energy bills. As many local schools are now offering the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme,
we have decided after ten years to discontinue the Bronze Award but will continue to support those working ft)r the
Silver Award. We have also decided to discontinue the monthly online edition of the 8owdon Church News as
much of the information is published in the weekly Friday Notices but a paper edition will be distributed around the
parish three times a year- at Christmas, Easter and Haniest.
5. Worship and Mlsslon
Pastoral Carelsafeguarding
Under the new Diocesan senior leadership team, and rightly insisted upon by the House of Bishops and General
Synod, safeguarding is now being given a much higher priority in parish life. During the year our safeguarding team
continued its termly meetings. Its duty of care includes the promotion of a safeguarding culture across all our
activities and the rolling out of the Diocesan safeguarding training modules among those who bear church
responsibilities. Its role is also to ensure our parish safeguarding policy is followed in all our endeavours, to handle
any safeguarding matters which may arise, and to monitor the administration of DBS checks for volunteers working
with Children, young people and vulnerable adults. We are committed to Bowdon Church being safe for everyone.
Our safeguarding policy was adopted afresh at the PCC meeting in July. In September our safeguarding officer,

for the year ended 31 December 2024
Will Tyler stood down after eight years of committed and careful work in this important role, for which we are very
grateful. Clive Searle has taken up the post. With plenty of experience in this field having just retired as head of a
local primary school, he has been proactive about completing all the training promptly and promoting the
importance of this area with the PCC, including putting 'Promoting a safer church. posters up in private places,
such as toilets. He is working closely with Kay to ensure all members of PCC and people leading youth groups are
up to date with DBS forms and training and meets regulady with her and Jo Howling (warden with responsibility for
safeguarding while we are in vacancy).
Children and Families report
In the last year, the children and families ministry has gone from strength to strength. From September 2024, the
church has made great strides in making stronger links with our community.
In the De￿rnber of last year, the primary school advent services went very well. Some schools had already wished
to be booked in for this year.
Links with local primary schools is going very well especially BCS. INe now have various links including after-school
clubs for years 112 called 'Faith and Fun," Ethos group, which focuses on building the Christian Faith with the
children and a lunchtime club for year 516 focusing on discipleship for children. Church Led Worship assembly is a
regular occurrence. In other local schools, including The Bollin School and Altrincham Preparatory School, we are
invited in to give assemblies and talks on the Christian Faith and both sch¢)ols make use of our church building for
curriculum lessons and setvices. Each yearwe are seeing an increase in new families in Zone 2 forworship stamps.
Stronger connections with families is a priority in Zone2 and this can include making sure that our congregation in
Zone2 are welcomed right from the start with an welcome email sent to them with a variety of different key
information regarding children and families in Zone2, as well as a whole parish.
First steps is thriving with new ways of engaging children in stories and lessons. Families who have completed
their stamps requirements have said they will continue to come until the summer because they and the children
enjoy it very muchl
We had a very suc￿Ssful 'Parenting for Faith, course in the Spring, with many families coming to learn all about
vthat they can do to strengthen their own faith, but also their children. Feedback was positive and an online course
is going to added to the calendar in the new year. As well as Parenting for Faith, we are hoping to start a new
service for families with a sport focus and this is called 'Sweaty church,.
Our Children Church groups are doing very well. On average we have 30135 children at Zone 2 each week. We
have some excellent church group leaders, who inspire children's faith through lessons and crafts. The leaders are
provided with a full year curriculum to base their sessions on. We believe that children a￿ to learn all about the
different stories from the Bible but also learn about how Chnstian values can have a positive impact on their
individual lives. The children are also taught how to talk with God and listen to what He has to say to them.
In St. Luke's the new advertising and re-branding of St. Luke's children's groups has given their children's ministry
a new lease of life. The groups run very well and the group leaders do a great job each week. Since last October.
the 4th Sunday of the month is an All Age INorship. Attendance is at a stable number and the service is always
well re￿ived.
In the December, the primary school advent services went very well. The Children's Christingle services also went
extremely well, bringing in lots of people who would not have attended church otherwise.
Future plans are already in motion and we are in for a great rider
Youth report
Over the last twelve months, our youth ministry amongst 11-18s has begun to develop significantly following
difFiculties with the Covid pandemic and its lockdowns. Both 'churched' and 'unchurched' young people have
been joining our various outreach programs and begun to form relationships with our Youth Missioner, Sam, and
other adult volunteers. We hope to see this ministry continue to grow in coming months as the buds of growth
begin to blossom.
Our weekly Underground youth club has seen its numbers increase on average from ten to fifteen a week,
peaking above tsventy at times. New volunteers have had to be sought for the first time in years. At Underground,
activity sessions around a theme have included looking at relationships, bullying, and the Trinity. Our sports
provision has improved thanks to investment in new equipment and we hope to develop this further as new
volunteers with a wider variety of skills get involved.
Our weekly Mettle discipleship group has consistently seen five young people dive deep into the Bible, reading
through the entirety of Judges, Ruth, and Samuel as a result of the young people's interest and desire to learn
more about God. Alongside food and craft activities and a dedicated team of volunteers, we have also seen one

Report and flnancial statements
for the year ended 310ecember 2024
young person get confirmed at our confirmation service. In the coming months we hope to see this group
naturally grow as younger people are invited to join.
Our youth ministry in the local schools has been a consistent presence over the last twelve months. Our Youth
Missioner led a series of Christmas services for both Altrincham Grammar School for Boys and Altrincham Girls
Grammar School. He has also provided assemblies for all year groups at AGGS during Harvest, Christmas, and
Easter. The Christs'an Union there, joint-led with the Methodist Church and Trafford Youth For Christ, has also
had consistently high attendance from a wide range of year groups as they looked at Advent, friendships, and
prayer.
Our chaplaincy to the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has seen our Youth Missionerjoumey alongside forty
young people from beginning to end as they complete their Bronze Award. This has involved activities looking at
what the Bible has to say about teamwork, friendships, and perseverance. Numerous volunteers have been
involved in this ministry as mentors to the young people and we hope to see this continue in other areas of
church life. After many years, it was annoUn￿d that the Bowdon DofE scheme would be finishing, as the local
schools are now providing this and demand has reduced. Therefore, there were no new Bronze Award applicants
this September, although we have continued with the Silver Award for one last year. We hope that we can find
other ways to welcome young people into our church in the future.
Our Sunday services continue to be a place where young people are welcome and celebrated. We have seen our
Charge group, that meets within the Zone2 servI￿s, be an opportunity to reach young people who weren't
originally part of any of our youth outreach now attending Underground regularly. This group runs from Years 4-7,
allowing the transition from primary to secondary, and Children's Missioner to Youth Missioner, run more
smoothly. More volunteers will be sought for this over the coming months.
Our youth ministry at Bowdon Parish has overcome the Covid challenges well, in no small part to the prayers of
many parishioners, but a widening of our team will be an important goal of the next I￿e1ve months. Please pray
for our young people who face new challenges in seeking God in a complicated world.
St Luke'5 Church Report
Over the last twelve months, St Luke's has seen its numbers stabilise and recover slightly after a dip during the
pandemic, continuing with a mix of traditional clergy led Communion services and modem lay led services.
The introduction of an electronic giving plate was embraced by the congregation, and integrating modern
technology into the service has streamlined the giving process, enhancing the overall worship experience.
St Luke's maintained its traditional celebrations, such as the Good Friday seNice followed by a communal Fish
and Chips meal and joined forces with St Mary's and Zone2 for the King's Coronation Service, demonstrating a
commitment to unity and shared celebration within the wider community.
The Harvest service of 2024 was particularly well attended. showcasing the congregation's support for children by
donating proceeds to the Toybox Charity.
The Christmas period of 2024 was highlighted by a Christingle and Nativity service led by the children that attracted
significant attendan￿ ft)r the seasonal celebrations.
Efforts to broaden the roster of Servi￿ leader volunteers have been warmly re￿Ived, underlining the church's
dedication to diversity and inclusivity in its worship and leadership.
St Luke's is looking to engage particularly with the younger generation, with plans to introduce a new communion
initiative for teenagers, pending PCC approval. This initiative reflects the church's fomard-thinking approach to
faith formation and its commitment to engaging youth in meaningful ways.
Outreach efft)rts, including a strategic leafiet drop and advertisements in the Bowdon Church School News, aim to
bolster church attendance and engagement. These efforts showcase St Luke's proactive stance on community
involvement and its desire to extend its reach and impact within the local area.
Several social events are planned for 2024, including a social evening that invites past and present members of
the congregation to a Cheese and Wine evening in March, and a potential summer BBQ.
The past year has highlighted the church's resilience, especially in navigating the challenges posed by the absence
of a vicar Sin￿ the summer of 2022. St Luke's has persevered and looks to thrive in the coming year.

Report and financial ststements
for the year ended 31 December 2024
St Mary's Church Report
During a vacancy, a parish is expected by the Diocese of Chester to maintain its pre-existing pattern of worship. I
am happy to report that we have done this throughout the year. Thanks must go to our visiting priests Keith Hine,
John Sutton and Margaret Jones, to the members of the congregation who lead services, and to our Operations
Coordinator Kay Holt who arranges our sen41￿ rota.
During the year several all-age acts of worship have taken place in both St. Mary's and the Parish Centre where
the congregations of St. Mary's and Zone 2 have come together. Additionally, on special occasions such as the
celebration of the coronation of King Charles, we have been joined by worshippers from St. Luke's.
Our main act of worship each Sunday is the 10 O'clock Eucharist which is enhanced by the singing of the Choir
and the number of volunteers who read lessons and lead our intercessions, for which many thanks to all.
The other servI￿S in St. Mary's have rather smaller but devoted congregations, and it is everybody who makes
the continuation of worship in this place possible. Given that a church {with a priest!) in Bowdon features in the
Domesday Book that is a long continuuml
Finally I would like to thank everybody who has supported our worship by their presence in St. Mary's and their
generous giving, in time and money, to the running of the church throughout the year.
St Mary's Guild Report
St Mary's Guild was started more than 70 years ago by women who wanted to contribute to the welfare of their
church in Bowdon. Members, now men and women. work by rots on Friday mornings, with duties during the week.
Altar flowers are provided and arranged each week and everyone shares in decorating for Festivals.
Other tasks include the care of fair linen, silver and brass, and changing the altar frontals and curtains according
to the season of the Church's year.
Corporate Communions and Guild meetings are held twice a year and members are encouraged to be regular
communicants. Each member has a copy of the Guild prayer and we say it together at the beginning of each
meeting.
Choir Report
The choir has enjoyed an active and rewarding year. The highlight of the summer was a week of 'choir camp, in
York, staying at the University St John and singing services each day in York Minster. This was an inspiring
experience, greatly enjoyed by members of the choir, warmly supported by several members of our congregation
in Bowdon and hugely appreciated by the stsff and congregation in York. Other highlights across the year have
included Choral Evensong at Wakefield Cathedral in February and the special services to mark the King's
Coronation
in
May.
We have recruited a lovely group of young trebles, who sing with great enthusiasm and commitment, and we have
three outstanding choral scholars, who have all made a fantastic contribution to the choir. Morale seems very high
we work hard in rehearsal but have lots of fun as well. Choir members give a lot of time and their efforts are
greatly appreciated. Roger continues to do a great job and his steadfast support is appreciated. The choir works
hard too in delivering many special servi￿$ throughout the year (Advent, Epiphany Carols, Nine Lessons, All
Souls, Remembrance etc.) Nine Lessons this year was particularly outstanding and it was encouraging to hear
many appreciative comments from members of the congregation. It was also lovely to join Zone 2 for a service last
tenn - rt is g￿8t to find ways to build links between the different congregations and worship together.
Givings Team Report
Members of the Giving Team are Hilary Gartside (Chair), Penny Cloney (Secretary), Gill Ayres, Gabby Campbell,
Helen Oakley, Sue Redford, Judith Robertson, Kate Stross, Christine Weekes and Linda Woods.
Much of the early part of the year was taken up getting to grips with organising the annual Christian Aid campaign
which centres on Christian Aid Week in the first half of May. After 11 very successful years as parish coordinator
for Christian Aid, Kate Stross stepped down from the role the previous year and the huge amount of work she had
done each year to organise the door-to-door delivery of envelopes throughout the parish was divided up into several
distinct areas bebNeen members of the Giving Team, and Tami Bashir who did sterling Servi￿ as Treasurer with
responsibility for banking the donations. In addition to the army of volunteers who delivered the envelopes around
the parish, were many individuals, who with their contributions to the event made our Christian Aid campaign very

Bowdon Parochial Church Council
Report and financial statements

much a team effort. The total donated in 2024 of £4352.91, including Gift Aid of £567.35, represented an overall
increase on 2022 of 15.60/0
It was clear, however, that virtually all the donations made came from people who have a strong connection with
our church and for this reason the PCC approved the Giving Team's proposal that the door-to-door delivery of
envelopes throughout the parish would not be continued in 2024. Instead, envelopes will be made available to all
members of the church who will be encouraged to give online if possible. To boost our donations to Christian Aid,
the Giving Team is currently considering fundraising events to be held in May.
Although the prO￿edS from the February clothing sale, the St Luke's harvest collection for Toy Box and the book
sale in aid of Tearfund were match funded, most of the £2500 set aside by the PCC for matched giving in 2024
mained unused towards the end of the year. The PCC therefore decided to donate £1000 to St Mary's, Partington
and Carrington and £500+ to Christian Aid at its November meeting.
Following on from our donation of £1000 to St Mary's, Partington and Carrington, we are aiming to strengthen our
ties with Partington by holding a joint quiz night with them in April in Partington to raise funds for their mission work.
Support for the Hope Centre in Partington continued with a very successful fFash designerlnew clothing sale in
February. Christine Weekes took over donations of food and household items to the Hope Centre each week and
virtually all the donations at Harvest, including the contributions from the church school, went to Partington. St
Luke's chose to make monetary donations to Toy Box, a charity which strives to rescue children from living on the
streets abroad.
The Community Shed continues to attract many donations destined for- amongst others - asylum seekers living in
the Ashley Hotel, Hale, and in other hotels in south Manchester.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of Jennie Lucas and Helen Oakley, we were unable to take part in the Angel
Tree Project in December as Prison Fellowship did not provide us with details of prisoners, children for whom we
would be buying gifts which would be given by their fathers. We might henceforth link with Styal Prison as Hilary
Gartside has learned from Anglican Chaplain Louise that she (Louise) works directly with churches who wish to
buy children's gifts on behalf of the women prisoners there.
The remit for the Giving Team was approved earlier this year by the PCC.
The Giving Team Bulletin which Penny Cloney produces three times a year provides an excellent overview of the
year's various giving initiatives in which church members are involved. There one can read of other charities we
support such as Compassion (child sponsorship at St Luke's and Zone 2) and The Children's Society, to name but
two.

Bowdon Parochial Church Council
Report and financlal statements
for the year ended 31 December 2024
Financial Review
Overall, income decreased on 2023 by approx. £7k to £307k. The vast majority of this decrease is due to a
decrease in pledged and other forms of giving. Rental from Stamford Cottage decreased as the property was
vacant for 5 months of the year but is now let at a good market rent.
Expenditure remained stable and whilst appearing to be £60k in excess of income when viewing the total figure
this does not reflect the funds taken from the restricted fund Future fund for Youth. Overall our expenditure was
£26k over income {excluding restricted funds) and the operations Team is considering ways in which the decrease
in giving can be reversed so as to overcome this deficit.
We had built up a good cash balance and so the deficit this year has not led us to use reserves. At the end of the
year we had a positive cash balance in our main bank account of £20k. This allows us to keep cover for our day to
expenses but may be insufficient for the whole of 2024. This may lead us into using some of our reserves.
The lettings income for the Parish Centre and St Luke's has now exceeded all p￿VIouS levels at £73k. We thank
Kay Holt our Parish Administrator for her hard work and good humour in dealing with our lettings and for the hard
work of our staff who ensure that our premises are clean and well managed.
We still hold monies in readiness for repairs to the Wall abutting Langham road and await Diocesan approval to
commence this work. The money is unrestricted funds and the intention is to retain this money until we know the
cost of repairing the Wall.
The Quinquennial Inspections of St Mary's and St Luke's, carried out during 2020, ￿qUIre considerable work to St
Mary's though this can be spread over a longer period. Some of the costs for the quinquennial can come from
Restricted funds (designated for exterior work for St Mary's) but other major costs for electrics can only be drawn
from designated or general funds.
We believe we have ended 2024 in a secure position and that we are in a reasonable place for the future subject
to retuming to a position on giving as we have seen in the past. We believe the arrival of a new vicar (after almost
2 years of interregnum) will assist with this.
Rlsk Management
The trustees have reviewed the major risks, financial and non-financial to which the PCC is exposed, in the
course of its current activities. They have assessed these risks and ensured that appropriate systems and
controls exist to minimise internal risks and the effective response mechanisms existto respond toand minimise
the impactof external risks.
The major risk facing Bowdon PCC generally relates to Building matters- for example, major expenditure being
required on the refurbishment of the organ and electrics at St Mary's church and repairs needing to be undertaken
to the Church Wall.
Plans for the future
The parish is very much in a 'holding pattern. without a vicar. We continue to run the parish and deal with all
necessary business but cannot plan for the future.
Reserves Policy
Consideration is given each year by the PCC and the Standing Committee to the level of resenies and
determination made as to the requirements to increase the balances held.
As stated above, we consider that the major financial risks are in us not having sufficient funds available to pay for
fabric maintenance and our intentions in relation to this are stated above. We believe our decision to sell Priory
Street has rectified this.
Given the amount of unrestricted money we hold, the PCC has taken the decision that holding £20,000 as a
minimum of reserves in general funds is a sufficient safeguard for us.

Recrultment and Tralnlng Trustees
New trustees are usually recruited from the many volunteers who assist in the running of the PCC. As they will
already have an understanding and experience of how the PCC works, the committee do not feel it is necessary
to invoke a formal induction process. There is however, at the beginning of each PCC year an item in the agenda
to infomi the Trustees of their powers and responsibilities.

which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted as inalienable propety unless consecrated. They
are listed in the church's Inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For inalienable
property acquired prior to 2004 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets
are not valued in the accounts. Items acquired since 1st January 2004 have been capitalised and
