Achievements and performance

There are 84 people on the Church Electoral Roll, 63 of whom are resident in the parish. Church services have taken place on Sundays with an average congregation of 22 people not including Harvest, Christmas and Easter celebrations. At both Christmas and Easter, the attendance was over 70. Zoom services have continued once a month on a Sunday evening and there have been joint services with St Marks in Newnham and also Trumpington Church at Easter. Family services are due to start again in June.

Review of the year.

Regular services on a Sunday at 11.15am have taken place throughout the year with restrictions gradually easing as we have followed the recommendations from the Diocese of Ely. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays have been Communion services and the 4th Sunday has been a Matins service. In months with a 5th Sunday there has been a joint service with St Marks in Newnham. On the first Sunday of each month there is an Evening Worship by Zoom meeting jointly with St Marks.

The church has been open every day throughout the year and continues to enjoy a steady stream of visitors.

There was a Harvest Celebration followed by a lunch in church, enjoying the new meeting area in the South Aisle (see below). At Christmas there was a Carol Service which could be attended in person or enjoyed via zoom thanks to the new internet connection to the church. There was a Bethlehem and Christmas Day service.

Grantchester church has continued to be blessed with a wonderful ministry team including our curate, Andrew Hurst, Canon Tom Buchannan and several excellent ordinands. This has provided a wonderful variety of sermons throughout the year and a very supportive team.

Our vicar, the Revd Rachel Rosborough, has finally been able to take the sabbatical that she had to postpone from March 2020.

The church has been open every day throughout the year and continues to enjoy a steady stream of visitors.

The PCC met 4 times during the year. Plans continue for the refurbishment of the vestry with the architect being appointed. The South Aisle was re-ordered and some pews were removed to make a larger space for meetings and fellowship. The re-ordering was authorised by a temporary licence, and we are now required to seek a faculty so that the new layout can be permanent. A statement of needs and significance was sent to the DAC for their consideration of changes to the Garden of Remembrance to better integrate it into the remainder of the south side of the First Churchyard and create a more seasonally colourful area. The process of applying for planning permission to regrade the path to the church entrance and toilet to remove the steps and provide good wheelchair access to the church is underway.

Dr Thomas reported to the PCC on Deanery Synod meetings.

The Parish share of £22,844.53 was met as usual. There were no Fundraising events during the past year. Filming of series eight of the series ‘Grantchester’ took place using the vicarage, church, and areas of the village.

The Mother’s Union currently has 6 faithful members and whilst they have not met this year, they intend to start meeting regularly in the village hall in the near future.

The Parish Magazine continues to be circulated amongst most of the houses in the village. It is in the care of an editorial team of Jo and Francis Burkitt with many supporters.

The Friends of Grantchester Church Annual Report for 2021/22

After over 30 years of Chairing the Committee of Friends of Grantchester Church, Caroline Burkitt stepped down. John Gray and Elaine Abrahams also stepped down. They have left big shoes to fill and were thanked for their amazing contribution to this organisation.

Annabelle Lloyd Carrick and Ruth Lewin Smith joined the Committee with Jo Burkitt taking on the role of Chair, Helen Pemberton the role of secretary and Sandi Buss as Treasurer.

The Committee agreed in February that Life Membership and the Annual Membership should be raised to £100per person and £10 per annum with OAP membership remain at £5.

It was agreed to invite the Friends to the Village Jubilee Party and invitations have been sent out.

Leaflets have been put in the church and a large poster too has gone up to encourage visitors to the church to become Friends.

Helen Pemberton Secretary

Publications Committee

The Publications Committee was delighted to welcome Ruth Lewin-Smith as part of our team this year, with Ruth being responsible for making sure the shelves are filled with cards and books as and when necessary.

Francis Burkitt was kind enough to donate his book; World War 1, retold monthly, as it happened.

This book covers the First World War, month-by-month, from the initial stirrings in March 1914 to the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919 and is available for sale in the Church at £5 each. It has been selling at a very fast rate and if you have not bought a copy, I would suggest you do it quickly, before they are all sold out.

Caroline Burkitt, Christine Jennings, Bill Everett and Sandi Buss

Financial Review

This past year has been quiet with the PCC focusing on planning for the upcoming Vestry Refurbishment and levelling and upgrading of the front path and the remembrance garden.

We were blessed to have received income from filming this year and £2,700.00 of this money was donated to two Charities. The Cambridge Churches Homeless Project and the Church Project in Kigali, Rwanda. This means that, to date, our church has donated £13,000.00 of filming money received, to various Charities.

The QR code has proven to be quite successful with people from other countries using it to donate to the Church. A total of £1180.00 was received for a combination of Magazine Subs, General Donations and a specific donation to cover some of the costs to install internet in the Church, to enable us to livestream services effectively. The total cost for the year for the QR code was £68.11 which is 5.77% of the income.

The contactless system purchased from the Diocese in 2019 was commissioned during 2021 and we have been amazed at the generosity of the visitors to our Church with a total of £656.96 received during the short period from October to December 2021.

The Parish Giving Scheme is now firmly established and those of you that have not joined in, please expect a nice letter from us asking you to please join. It is an excellent scheme managed by the Diocese, with the Church receiving the money collectively, including Gift Aid claimed on a monthly basis. This has helped our cash flow considerably and we hope that more members will embrace this excellent method of giving in the future.

Some of you have commented on the money tied up in investments in the Churchyard Funds. This is in comparison with our General Fund, where we struggle some months to cover our day to day overheads. You will be pleased to know that the PCC has appointed a very professional team, to work alongside the Treasurer to find ways to consolidate our investments with the aim to earn higher interest rates without using the Capital which was donated to the Church with the explicit view of generating income for the Church through the capital donated. We were exceedingly blessed by three very generous bequeaths during 2021, which was used to setup an investment with an aim to earn interest to cover our daily expenses. This is an ongoing project and we would be very grateful if you would consider making a bequeath in your Will for the Church. The Church will endeavour to invest the Capital, which will only be used if absolutely necessary with full PCC approval.

Please remember it does not matter how much or how little you give. God loves a cheerful giver and that is all that matters, not the amount. Regular giving, no matter how small, is what the financial foundation of the Church is built on.

I am sure you all buy on Amazon? Please consider buying from Amazon, via the Easy Fundraising page and naming the Church as your Charity?

We have, on advice from Ely, set up an Easy Fundraising page for the Church. Please consider downloading the app and doing all your online purchasing via this link? It will bring in extra income for our General Fund without it costing you anything , all you have to do is make sure you do all your spending via the link. An easy, (and hopefully) good way to earn extra income for the Church. https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/grantchesterchurch/?utm_campaign=raisemore&utm_medium=clipboard&utm_content=cpl

Last but not least, I have during 2021 taken over the oversight of the distribution of our Magazine in the village and have been stunned at the dedication of each and every member of the distribution team. This team delivers the magazine come rain, snow, high winds, cold or hot weather. They are simply amazing and a very big thank you to each and every one of you!

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the PCC to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds in the General Fund which equates to approximately six months unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations which may arise from time to time. The restricted funds in the Churchyard, Sunday School and Tower Funds are maintained for their designated purposes.

Signed on behalf of the PCC

Dr Simon Thomas

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S UNQUALIFIED REPORT

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of St Andrew's and St Mary’s, Grantchester, Cambs, Parochial Church Council

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 1 to 7.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My 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 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

the accounts to be reached.
