for the Year Ended 31st December 2023

(This report is made in accordance with The Church Representation Rules (Rule 9(1)(1b) and is separate from any statement or address that the incumbent may wish to make or any reports that any other parish group may present at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.)

Parish Church of Cramlington PAGM Reports 7 April 2024

2. Structure, Governance and Management.

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. The Standing Committee of the PCC is the only committee required to be in existence by church law and has the power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings, subject to ratification of the PCC; the Committee did not meet during the year. At the 2020 APCM a change to the congregational representation on the the PCC was agreed contingent on the result of a proposed Parish Revision. As this Revision was subsequently agreed, the change came into effect at the 2021 APCM.

It is considered that all PCC members and any others who could be understood to be ‘managers’ in the activities and affairs of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Nicholas Church, Cramlington are deemed to be ‘fit and proper’ persons under the terms of the Finance Act 2010.

3 . Objectives and Activities

.

The PCC is aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in ‘The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit’ and have regard to it in their administration of the Parish. The PCC believes that, by fulfilling its responsibility to work together with the incumbent and to co-operate in all matters of concern and importance for the promotion of the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, it provides a benefit to the public by:

Providing resources and facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers;

Promoting Christian values, and service by members of the Church in the Parish to its community, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

4 . Risk Assessment

.

The PCC recognises that in relation to ‘Risk Assessment’, risk is defined as ‘the threat of any action or event which will adversely affect an organisation’s ability to achieve its objectives and execute its strategies’. It also accepts that the term ‘risk’ can include any circumstances that may, or do, have an adverse effect, and is wider than financial matters. ‘Risks’ relate not only to the negative consequences of a threat, but also to the impact of not taking advantage of opportunities.

The PCC recognises it requires a practical Health and Safety Policy covering activities for both the church, its surrounding grounds and the Meeting Rooms. This is reviewed on a regular basis. Accident Books are maintained.

The contents and obligations of the Equality Act 2010 and the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 are known and complied with to the best of the PCC’s ability. The PCC is aware of its responsibilities in respect of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in its requirement to carry out a fire assessment to identify any possible dangers and risks, to take action to minimise the risks and to create a plan to deal with any emergencies, and also to write up and keep a record of its findings and to review its assessment annually. The PCC has appointed the Churchwardens to be the responsible persons to put these things into operation.

There is a Safeguarding Policy in place; the Safeguarding and DBS Officer is Lorraine Alexander. DBS checks have been carried out in respect of persons dealing regularly with young people and

Parish Church of Cramlington PAGM Reports 7 April 2024

vulnerable adults. Whilst it is impossible to eliminate all risks and their consequences, efforts are constantly made to minimise such occurrences.

5. Electoral Roll report January 2023 to 31st December 2023.

The Teaching Programme for 2023-24

We began the Spring term of 2023 with a series of talks on personal witness to others based loosely on “The Natural Evangelism Course” written by the evangelist J John. The added feature on this occasion used it in “Together Element” of our Lifegroup programme as a shaping tool for an evangelism project or event. Generally personal evangelism has not historically been a feature of Church of England ministry or mission. Largely it is left to the “professionals” and those with a talent or love for public declaration. John’s central point is that telling others about Jesus is the business of everyone and that iin turn, personal evangelism reaches those who do not know Jesus more effectively than many other vehicles. Two talks on the “Acting in the Power of the Spirit” and two further talks from visiting speakers, from Safe Families and Youth for Christ along with an Introduction to the Lifegroup Evangelism Projects concluded the term.

The Summer term was characterised by multiple addresses based on the Lectionary readings and five Sundays on the subject of the Psalms. The lectionary for those unfamiliar with it draws on four readings, two from the Old Testament and two from the New Testament. The particular gifting of such material is that it takes the regular Bible reader to places in Scripture which are sometimes “dusty” because of the lack of visitors and occasionally surprises us with undiscovered “treasure.” The series on the Psalms, initiated by David Gray, gave us a rare opportunity to consider the worship of God from a different, traditional Jewish perspective.

Our Autumn term began with two talks on “Giving” as we neared the end of a financial year where we were concerned by the likelihood of us failing to meet our contribution to the Diocese. The talks offered a variety of insights into Christian Giving ranging from properly understanding it as one type of worship to a suggestion as to how we would arrive at a level of regular payment. As matters transpired, thanks to particularly substantial contributions by a small group of individuals, a welcome but hardly an ideal arrangement, we were able to meet our liabilities. A line of teaching not previously taken during my incumbency, involved talks on what might be learned of the Lord through the meals he shared with others. Pausing for our observance of the sacrifice made for our current freedom in past conflict in the form of Remembrance Sunday, we

Parish Church of Cramlington PAGM Reports 7 April 2024

concluded the year with talks which illuminated the season of Advent, followed by a retrospective of 2023 on the last Sunday of the year.

The Winter term began with a series of talks, supported by Andrew Ollerton’s course, on the book of Romans. Some knowledge of the teaching of this book is critical to a grown-up understanding of what it means to be a Christian and therefore is valuable to us all. Our ability to share the gospel with others is the work of all of us. That capacity rests on our personal walk of faith with Jesus and at least a vestigial understanding of the theology underpinning the gospel.

I am particularly grateful for the work done by our speakers thus far in couching sometimes quite difficult ideas in plain and uncomplicated language, precisely the language we would use in sharing with another to any effect. God willing, the term will continue and conclude with talks on Relationships from a Christian perspective, Holy Week where we hope to continue in more creative teaching mode, book-ended by our Palm and Easter Sunday Services.

Finally a word about two services during this term to which I have not yet referred. On the 3[rd] of March DV, we will have a visiting speaker in the person of Dr. Josh Cockayne, Director of Mission and Evangelism at Cranmer Hall, St John’s College and a very experienced practitioner in Church Planting. In addition to this speaking engagement a “Day Away” with him for the Leadership and the Re:Fresh core team, has been planned for the following months.

Finally, it would be remiss of me to offer a review of our Sunday Services without mention of the RAF Cadet Parade Sunday, where we hosted our local squadron, including their readers, intercessors, interviewees and not forgetting what might be the only Squadron Worship Band in the country! Many of you have expressed your delight to be in the company of so many fine young people. So I take the opportunity share their equal delight in being in your company also. May this be but the initial feature of growing and deepening relationship between the officers, NCOs, civilian instructors and of course the Cadets with, not the church, but with Jesus himself. I rejoice to say that one of them has begun to attend Re:Fresh. From tiny acorns or five bread rolls and two sardines indeed!

Ministry Development

Our two associated Ministry trainees Frankie and Danny have seen developments this year in their response to God’s call.

Frankie has shared the news of her prospective posting to St Peter’s Monkseaton next year as a conclusion to her 3 years of study at Cranmer Hall Durham.

Danny has moved to the hallow precincts of the Cathedral where he I am sure now enjoys the High Church service.

Our prayers go with them both.

Technical Development

The last year has seen a new installation of lighting to support the hosting of a variety of artistic and musical events. This we hope will be augmented by a move to an entirely digital sound system which will offer greater capacity and flexibility.

Christmas

This Christmas, while it did not feature the major involvement in a production by the congregation, was as busy and varied as any. Apart from the usual School and Scout Christmas Services, we

Parish Church of Cramlington PAGM Reports 7 April 2024

had the visit of two choirs, the Rock Choir (in support of MacMillan nursing)and the Cramlington Community Choir.

Our own contributions of “Carols by Candlelight” and the “Nativity Experience” were both supported by a capacity audience. The “Storyteller’s Christmas” was similarly successful and we look forward to the Easter version in a few weeks.

Schools Work

Schools work continued throughout 2023 with regular assemblies in all but two schools in the town. A number have indicated their interest in participating in the “Open The Book” project. Consultations on the possibility of a Summer event for Children, based

in Cragside School and hopefully involving some RAF Cadets from 242 Sq, has been held involving a mixture of Congregation members and school staff. Please remember this in your prayers.

Youth Work

Based principally on our engagement with the Air Cadets, the possibility of beginning a weekly youth event is a definite possibility. The existing barrier would appear to be the recruitment of sufficient and suitable adults to host the event. Again please keep this in your prayers.

Ministry to older people

The parish is mindful of its responsibility for the pastoral care of older people, and reaches out to them in a number of was, including:

• One to one contact through the parish Pastoral Care Team

• Members of the parish (and friends) singing Christmas carols in care homes and sheltered housing; in December 2023 this took place in nine establishments, on some occasions offering additional carol singing in the dementia units within the homes.

• A monthly Service of the Word is celebrated in one of the care homes within the town, led by parish members

• Memory Lane , a monthly afternoon session of music, song, recital, reminiscence and fellowship to those suffering from dementia or other memory loss, their family and carers, and other friends. It is provided by volunteers from within the parish. It has links with Alzheimer’s UK, and it also contributes to “Dementia Friendly Cramlington.” Attendance is usually around 15-20 participants.

Treasurer’s Report on the 2023 Financial Year, to the Annual Parish Church Meeting 2024

IMPORTANT - this is a summary of the key points from the accounts. Full details are contained in The Financial Statement which is included in this pack at Appendix A. It is The Financial Statement which is the formal account of the Parish’s finances in 2023. Additional details of financial activity are given in the tables in Appendix B.

Note – figures in this report are rounded to the nearest £50, (values less than £50, are rounded to the nearest £10) so may appear to sum incorrectly. Not all amounts and headings are included in this summary. For full details see the Financial Statement. 2022 Figures are shown thus (£1,000) for comparison.

- Part One General Fund

Our 2023 Parish Share was set at £60,000 (£70,000).

Our total income in 2023 was £94,400 (£80,990) – this is the highest since 2020, though it should be noted that monthly income from Standing Order and Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) stayed broadly flat across 2023 (average for the year was £5,850pcm £5,100). The 2023 figure was boosted by one-off donations in response to the Pledge Sundays in October.

Additionally, it should be noted that, in order to meet the 2023 Share, Gift Aid for Quarter 4 was claimed at the end of December, rather than, as would normally have been the case, in January. In effect, this means that we have used some of 2024’s Gift Aid in 2023 – claiming 5 quarters, and the last of those significantly inflated by the Gift Aid on the one-off donations in response to the Pledge Sunday.

I explain all this because, on first glance, with Share paid in full (albeit £7,000 less than we paid last year) and income rising, you may feel that our financial woes are over. They are not. One key measure is the number of regular donations by Standing Order & PGS. At the end of 2023, it was 46 (47).

----- End of picture text -----

This is important because most (78% ( 70%) ) of our income comes from “planned giving” (defined as Standing Orders, Parish Giving Scheme (PGS)) and the associated Gift Aid. In 2023 this amounted to £56,600 (£51,600 ) plus Gift Aid £16,700 (£11,950) .

Towards the end of 2023, we held a Pledge Sunday. While it is difficult to be exact, the generous response generated approximately £7,500, with another £1,500 in Gift Aid.

The following chart shows all giving. It shows what a large part planned giving (Standing Order, Envelopes, PGS and Gift Aid) plays in our income. This is why the number of regular givers is so important.

----- End of picture text -----

Our total General Fund income during 2023 was £94,400 £80,900 ).

The main elements of this were:

• planned giving (envelopes, PGS & Standing Orders) – £56,600 (£50,600)

• Gift Aid reclaimed from HMRC - £16,700 (£11,950)

• collections, one-offs and all e-donations - £13,850 (£9,6000

• PCC fees for weddings & funerals - £3,050 (£3,450)

• Rent from church buildings – £2,350 (£2,250)

• Money raised locally at St Nicholas - £200 ( £50)

To look at this another way, for every £100 of General Fund income in 2023,

• £60 (£64) came from Standing Orders or Parish Giving Scheme

• £15 (£12) came from open plate, contactless & one-off donations

• £18 (£15) came from Gift Aid

• £3 (£4) came from Weddings and funerals

• £2 (£3) came from the letting of church buildings

• £2 (£2) came from other sources

Figure 3 – General Fund Income 2023 (Figures are rounded to nearest £1 and therefore may not sum exactly)

Our expenditure during 2023 was £ ( £89,200).

The main elements of this were:

• Parish Share - £60,000 (£67,000)

• Cost of church activities – £3,150 ( £900)

• Clergy expenses (including Housing) & other staff costs – £4,200 ( £3,700

• St Nicholas Building running costs - £23,050 ( £13,050)

• St Nicholas’ Hall & meeting rooms’ running costs - £850 ( £450 )

• Youth Work - £0 ( £0)

• Children’s work - £50 ( £0)

• Money given to charities* - £0 ( £0)

• All other costs - £550 (£650)

*(this refers to money given from general fund and does not include collections made specifically for particular charities.)

Again, looking at it another way, for every £100 of General Fund spending

• £65 (£78) - Parish Share

• £25 (£15) - running St Nicholas’ building

• £5 (£4) – clergy expenses (including housing)

• £3 (£1) – church services

• £2 (£1) – other costs

(Figures are rounded to nearest £1 and therefore may not sum exactly)

Figure 4 – General Fund Expenditure 2023 (Figures are rounded to nearest £1 and therefore may not sum exactly)

Our Parish Share for 2024 has been set at £56,000 – mainly in recognition of the fact that at the time of the consultation, it seemed unlikely we would manage £60,000 this year, so it would be better if we could pay £60,000 again if we could, as the Diocese is also under financial pressure. However, given our shrinking supporter base, paying this will still be a challenge. Without the Pledge Sunday, and bringing forward the Q4 Gift claim, we wouldn’t have paid our full 2023 Share.

- Part Two Main Restricted Funds

. Alan Lowther’s bequest – Building Fund

The money was left by the late Alan Lowther to be spent on the St Nicholas’ church building.

Balance at start of year = £75,600

• Income - £650 (£20)

• Expenditure – £1,000 (£2,200)

• Balance at year end = £75,200

Food Bank

The Parish operates a Food bank, which is affiliated to the Trussell Trust, generally responding to referrals from nominated referrers including Social Services, doctors, Job Centre, Citizens’ Advice, schools etc. The Food Bank receives significant donations of food from Asda, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s, as well as generous donations from local businesses and individuals, for which we’re very grateful. We have regular monthly donations from individuals to the Foodbank worth about £400 a month. Although the number of parcels risen during the year, thank the Lord, income has also risen which has allowed this work to continue. We also received an Emergency grant from The Trussell Trust to help meet exceptional demand costs.

Balance at start of year = £38,400 Income - £31,452 (£26,179) Expenditure – £21,800 (£9,250) Balance at year end = £48,000

Cramlington Parish Social Ministries

We lease the Hope Centre building from the Northumberland County Council (NCC) and, although there is no rent, we pay running costs and, like everyone else, we have experienced a significant rise in fuel costs during 2023. We are very grateful for the help and support of various organisations and individuals who have supported the Hope Centre during the year.

Balance at start of year = £27,900

• Income - £6,300 (£16,000)

• Expenditure – £10,000 £5,750)

Balance at year end - £24,250

Youth Work

There has been no Youth Worker or Youth work during 2023 and we are no longer receiving regular donations to this fund, though, following the rise in interest rates during 2023, the funds we hold have attracted some interest.

Balance at start of year = £9,250).

• Income - £70 (£0)

• Expenditure – £0 (£0)

Balance at year end = £9,300).

Note - There are a number of other small restricted funds not itemised here. Full details are contained in the documents in Appendix B.

Conclusion

2023 has been another challenging year for us. It is good that we paid the full share, but we should look seriously at our continuing difficulties. Ultimately the only solution is to create the conditions where the congregation grows and attracts significant numbers of new regular donors, though sadly we have not yet seen an increase in the overall numbers of regular donors.

But the Lord is good and I am sure he has a plan for His church in Cramlington. We just need to have faith and obedience and trust him. God is good. All the time!

11 Hope Centre 2023

Joyce and the volunteer team at Hope Centre are to be highly commended for stepping up to greatly increased demands. The soaring cost of energy together with a stagnating economy has placed enormous strains on budgets resulting in many more people being forced to seek help with food and essentials.

During 2023 much has been done to develop our volunteer team with basic skills of all team members being improved. Individual team members are now much more aware of the Trussell Trust sytems meaning that more admin is being carried out by the team members. In addition we have identified volunteers with particular skills and experience. This has included fundraising and seeking support from the business community and is already proving fruitful.

During the year we also invested time in developing our volunteers understanding of the need for financial inclusion. Many of our clients struggle with their budgeting and others experience problems accessing the help and advice that is available. Our refurbished kitchen now allows us to routinely offer clients hot drinks while they await their parcels. This gives natural opportunities to chat with clients and signpost them towards the help they need.

Uniform bank and baby clothing/equipment continues to serve faithfully and we hold good stocks of uniforms for most of the local schools. Demand grows also for this valued service. We are grateful to all our volunteers and to those who generously support our work.

David Gray, Team Vicar

12. Annual Safeguarding Report 2023

As a Parish we pay ‘due regard ‘ to the Church of England guidance and requirements for safeguarding.

Safeguarding concerns

Safeguarding is everyone’s right and responsibility. Clergy, members of the Pastoral Team , FIG, Hope Centre Team, Memory Lane, Friendship Friday, Little Fishes and members of the parish have remained vigilant, ensuring those in our parish who may need support in any way have been and continue to be supported.

Risk Assessments

All buildings and all groups and ministries have risk assessments. These are pertinent to the group aims, participants and venue. Risk assessments are reviewed on an annual basis, in line with National Safeguarding requirements.

Parish Church of Cramlington PAGM Reports 7 April 2024

Safer Recruitment

All paid officers and volunteers who work with Children, Young people or Vulnerable adults, must go through the Church of England Safer Recruitment process which was updated January 2022 . In this last year there has been an increase in the number of groups and the number of volunteers going through through this process, although some volunteers have multiple roles across all areas of church mission.

Training and DBS Requirements

Training both practical and theoretical are crucial elements of the Safer Recruitment process. During 2023 new recruits have completed training relevant to their responsibilities as a volunteer. Those volunteers who have been volunteers for 3 years have refreshed their training and the required level. All clergy and volunteers are also in a 3 year cycle for DBS renewal. Newly appointed Food Bank volunteers have also completed Trussell Trust Training on Food bank practices and procedures, Lifting and Handling heavy goods. Food Bank volunteers also completed Food Hygiene training.

Safeguarding and Governance

An action plan for safeguarding is created annually. This plan is on line and called The Parish Dashboard; it is accessed, monitored and updated by the Diocese, PCC and PSO. This framework produces actions points and completion dates as well as accountability and transparency. This parish continues to maintain the expected Level 3.

A sub committee of PCC members and the PSO conduct a review of safeguarding policies which are now up to date and will be reviewed again in the future according to recommendations (1/3 years).

Notes to the accounts

• i The financial statements of the P.C.C. have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts & Payments basis.

• ii General funds represent the funds of the P.C.C. that are not subject to any special restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the P.C.C. These include funds designated for a particular purpose by the P.C.C.

• iii These accounts include monetary transactions, assets and liabilities for which the P.C.C. can be held responsible. They do not include the accounts of other Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. Subject to the above, receipts and payments include income as received and expenditure when irrevocably paid.

• iv The amounts shown as 'planned giving' represent the amounts collected via Standing Order into our Bank Account and through the Church Of England's Parish Giving Scheme Scheme (PGS). Regular giving to the Foodbank and CPSM are included under those headings and not shown here. Of the General Fund amount, the following was NOT Gift AidedBy Standing Order = £5,291

• Through Parish Giving Scheme = £4,086 Total £9,377

• v Other Receipts is the total from section 6. Other Receipts less the amount shown in Voluntary Receipts above as Planned Giving and Gift Aid Recovered to avoid double counting. This is because the planned Giving and Gift Aid are included under the appropriate line in section 6 - but are required to be recorded separately under Voluntary Receipts.

• vi Interest received on Restricted Funds in interest bearing accounts is included in the income for the respective Restricted Fund. The total amount Fund. The total amount of Restricted Fund interest was:f R i d F d i £994.56 This was allocated as follows (in proportion to the amount of particular fund held in the savings account):

• "Alan Lowther" Building Fund £656.41 Youth £69.62

• Foodbank £139.24 CPSM £129.29

General Fund interest is shown in section 3 above.

• vii Typically this would be where a member made a donation twice - for example during transition between payment methods.

• viii Money spent on unoccupied clergy housing or the expenses of clergy visiting to conduct services during an interregnum, is paid initially by the Parish and refunded by the Diocese, through what is known as the Sequestration Fund. In this account, expenditure in these categories is recorded under appropriate budget headings and the reimbursement received at year end is recorded as income under these same headings.

The total amount reimbursed by the Diocese during 2023 was £755.64
