The role of the PCC is to promote the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the practices of the Church of England and to support and co-operate with the incumbent in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Worship

Happily church remained open all last year during further lockdowns and Covid restrictions, and the Sunday services at times were alternated with Ashford in the Water. Canon Tony continued to livestream a Sunday reflection and prayer each week, these were very popular and continue to serve a regular gathering of church members and others beyond our parish. The Bakewell Sunday Services were livestreamed.

Again we decided to hold a Christmas Tree Festival in December 2021 and it was greatly appreciated by the visitors. This year we were able to serve refreshments. We held a Crib service on Christmas Eve followed by Midnight Mass and a Christmas morning Eucharist the next day. The School Christingle Service was once again well received. Church life was beginning to have a feeling of some normality. We held our usual Eucharist at noon on Ash Wednesday. Small pots of ash with a simple liturgy were distributed before that day for personal ashing for many people who were self-isolating. A Prayer Tree and Easter Garden in the Churchyard became a focus for the community.

Phone Church remains very popular with a loyal following. It is a wonderful way of remaining in touch for people who have difficulty getting to church.

The Pandemic has made us reflect on the future pattern of worship and how to maintain this with two clergy. Benefice churches are having to take responsibility for one service per month. Rowsley have been doing this for some time and other church members are gaining confidence and beginning to enjoy the experience of worship planning and leading.

All Saints Infant School has had a challenging year observing Covid guidelines and dealing with lockdown, home schooling and the catch up for children, under the Headship and leadership of Tricia Outram. Sadly numbers of Reception children entering school are falling and a drive to change this has been undertaken by the Governing Body. The school has joined the Derby Diocesan Academy Trust (DDAT) which offers support and resources for school.

Mission and Outreach

Canon Tony has continued to offer weekly Collective Worship in the Infant and Rowsley Primary (as well as Stanton in the Peak Primary) through online and face to face Assemblies. In addition he supports St Anselm’s and Lady Manners Schools.

We welcomed a group of pilgrims en route to Scandinavia who stayed the night and were able to share in a meal with the PCC. They were walking from York to Sweden to mark the conversion of the Swedes to Christianity.

Lunch Club started again in the last quarter of the year and Dot is looking to start in 2022 the lunchtime talks and Coffee Concerts.

Bakewell Churches Together is struggling due to fewer active people to organise and oversee events, but after much searching the Crib was located, erected and blessed in Bath Gardens not very active we hope to continue to continue to have the crib in Bath Gardens and Canon Tony hopes to hold a Town Passion on Good Friday 2022.

Emma has been keeping the church website up to date which has been important for information sharing and a window for the church in the world.

Fabric

The aim for 2022 is to complete the church organ refurbishment. We need around £140,000 with the condition there is £100k in the bank before we start work. Serious fund raising is required if we are to get over the line. The replacement organ has failed to be that, developing faults, and the aim is to repair and sell it (hopefully not at a loss!)

Thanks to Joyce’s diligence in dealing with BT, WiFi has been installed in church which will increase the visitor experience, open up more possibilities for worship leading and streaming. Canon Tony’s mobile phone has built up confidence to use IT, but we need more equipment and Mark and Joyce are working on a Grant Application to a Diocesan Trust to pay for, or towards this.

Various issues with the kitchen dishwasher and the church and Newark heating have been attended to, with the inevitable outlay of funds.

After a lot of hard work on Dot's part DDDC took responsibility for the steps opposite the Newark. They have made them safe and cut back a lot of trees and ivy against the church wall.

In June Mr Nigel Sherratt (DAC Secretary)and Mrs Kat Alldread (DAC administrator) came with a view to considering the PCC outline plan to re-order All Saints and St Anne’s. Their follow up reports were encouraging in both cases. The re-ordering at St Anne’s – creating a welcome area near the entrance and also provision for making refreshments with information about Lathkill Dale’s Nature Reserve and history of lead mining looks very exciting and probably is achievable in the shorter term. All Saints needs to wait for a public consultation on the plans, which will come once we know where we are with the organ work.

Charitable Giving

We continue to send £1,000 to support the education of two children from St Matthew’s Church in Zababdeh. In addition we sent £350 to the Bishop’s harvest appeal and £150 to each of, Ashgate hospice, Christian Aid and High Peak Food Bank. We hope to mark Christian Aid Week 2022 with a service in church and one Saturday in CA week there will be a stall outside the Methodist Church and coffee will be served in the hall. This will once again replace the Street Collection as there are no longer enough collectors to do this.

Finance

The accounts are presented to the PCC for approval at the APCM. Grateful thanks to Joyce, Rick and Kath for their continuing work over the years caring for, counting and banking the church collection. Our membership of the Parish Giving Scheme did entail that giving continued during the church closure and smaller numbers of people attending worship. Thank you for doing this.

Safeguarding

Joanna Bunting is our Parish Safeguarding Officer and as such is responsible for ensuring that our Safeguarding policy and procedures are up to date and clearly displayed and that that PCC members and other church officers are up to date with their Safeguarding training. Please do keep checking on whether your DBS (if you require one) and training modules you are required to do are up to date. Training has moved much to being online to make it easier for people. It is our responsibility to check we are up to date and what training we need, rather than waiting to be informed.

The PCC is greatly appreciative of the time and commitment given by many church members to the life and mission of All Saints with St Anne’s. We are also hugely appreciative of the ministry, teaching and pastoral care offered by members of the Ministry Team under the inspirational leadership of Canon Tony.

Bakewell PCC Registered Charity 1133846

Parish of All Saints, Bakewell with St Anne, Over Haddon

Registered charity no: 1133846

Independent Examiner's Report to the members of Bakewell Parochial Church Council

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the financial statements (under section 145 of the 2011 Act),

to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking 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 financial statements 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 the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
