## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Aim and purposes** 

The Parish of Bardsey Parochial Church Council (P.C.C.) is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102 and has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.  The P.C.C. is also responsible for the care and maintenance of two churches: the Parish Church of All Hallows in Bardsey and the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in East Keswick, together with their respective churchyards, both of which remain open for burials and the interment of ashes. A further responsibility extends to the care and maintenance of the church hall in Bardsey, known as The Callister Hall. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The P.C.C. is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community.  The P.C.C. maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish.  Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary 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 living in the parish. 

- Building leadership. 

- Missionary and outreach work. 

- Our environmental policy. 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Parish Church of All Hallows, The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene and The Callister Hall.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Parochial Church Council (P.C.C.) is a body established by the Church of England.  The P.C.C. operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 and the Church Representation Rules 2020 

The method of appointment of P.C.C. trustees is as set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. Newly appointed P.C.C. trustees are introduced into their roles and responsibilities by the Churchwardens. 

The P.C.C. has met on seven occasions during the year (six ordinary meetings and one Annual Parochial Church Meeting).  These meetings have been in person. The average attendance of the ordinary meetings was 87%. There were 94 names on the Electoral Roll at the time of the APCM in May 2023. 

All meetings include the review of the reports of P.C.C. subcommittees and the sanctioning of any actions as required.   The main subject under discussion during 2023 was the future of the parish, spiritual growth, developing lay leadership, children’s ministry, developing our eco strategy as well as the ongoing routine management of our buildings and churchyards, and matters of finance, stewardship and safeguarding. 

Sub-committees are formed when needed.  This year, a new ‘Green Team’ has been formed, following the successful ‘Green Fair’ held in September.  The Green Team will support and guide the eco strategy for the parish. 

The P.C.C. has continued to hold more discussion during the meetings, in order to allow members to address pressing issues impacting our parish.  Reports are sent out in advance, and P.C.C. members are expected to read them before the meeting.

## **Structure, Governance and Management (Continued...)** 

Using the ancient art of Lectio Divina, the P.C.C. has focused on a key Bible text this year and meditated on it at the beginning of every meeting.  Looking at Acts 2:42-27 has prompted discussions on deepening community, worship and spiritual growth. 

Angela has tried to intentionally grow lay leadership this year, and move away from a clerical model of leadership where the vicar does everything. A fledgling lay team is growing and guest preachers have featured in services. 

Has the power to transact the business of the P.C.C. in between official meetings as and when necessary. 

Standing Committee: Has the power to transact the business of the P.C.C. in between official meetings as and when necessary. All Hallows Church Council: Is responsible for the mission and maintenance of the Parish Church of All Hallows and its churchyard. Saint Mary Magdalene Church Is responsible for the mission and maintenance of the Church of Saint Council: Mary Magdalene and its churchyard. Finance Committee: Is responsible for directing and monitoring income, expenditure and budgeting, and co-ordinating the Christian stewardship of money through planned giving. 

The P.C.C. supports a parish office, situated in the Callister Hall.   This office is managed by the Parish Administrator and is open every weekday afternoon. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The Reverend Angela Hannafin is the Incumbent of the Parish (half time) and also Lay Training Officer (half time) with responsibility for Mission and Discipleship in the Diocese of Leeds.  The Reverend Dr Anna Wallis was licenced as Priest with Permission to officiate in the Diocese from December 2021. Revd Angela Hannafin is also a member for the House of Clergy for General Synod (Diocese of Leeds), elected 2021. 

Our normal times of services are: - 

First Sunday: 10.00 – Joint Parish Holy Communion (at either church) Second Sunday 08.00 - Holy Communion All Hallows 09.15 – Family Worship at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Family Worship at All Hallows Third Sunday 08.00 – Morning Worship at All Hallows 09.15 – Holy Communion at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Holy Communion at All Hallows Fourth Sunday 08.00 - Holy Communion All Hallows 09.15 - Morning Worship at Saint Mary Magdalene 10.45 - Morning Worship at All Hallows Fifth Sunday                         A joint service is held at either church or at our local Methodist Church 

NB – Due to the current fuel crisis, the P.C.C. decided that for a temporary period, the parish would heat only one building on a Sunday and hold increased joint services.  This proved successful, building a stronger parish identity, and easing the strain on resources.

## **Achievements and Performance (continued…)** 

Our churches, which are normally publicly open during day light hours, are now open again after Covid and remain so at year end.  Both churches now feature a Children’s Craft area which is used during the week and proving popular with local families. 

In 2023 we held 10 baptisms and 3 weddings.  13 funerals have taken place, 1 person has been buried and the cremated remains of 9 people have been interred in our churchyards. 

Bardsey playgroup, as registered local authority childcare provider, uses the Callister Hall for much of the year. Other local groups also use this building during the week.  For the last year, we have held a “Callister Café” on the second Tuesday of every month as a social space for local residents to have a community lunch.   This has proved popular and grown steadily over time. 

During the year we have continued our mission into the community in a number of ways: - 

- We have a five-year strategic plan, available to view on our website, which lists our intention to improve our infrastructure and work on community projects to deepen our faith in our community. 

- We have continued to grow our relationship with St Aidan’s church in Harehills in Leeds and support their foodshare on a weekly basis. The FoodShare project is now run by a team of volunteers, made up from the church and wider community. Carol Bone oversees the FoodShare project. 

- We want to grow our ‘lay leadership’, encouraging and affirming those who lead our services and groups. This year we have two regular lay leaders taking services, and a lay preacher from the parish who preaches intermittently. 

- We have joined the ‘Inclusive Church’ network and our two churches feature on the Inclusive Church website.  Inclusion is important for our parish and we are always considering ways to become more inclusive.  This year we welcomed a guest organist from Blackburn Diocese at our November Patronal Festival who spoke about his own experience of inclusion. 

- We are part of a dynamic Churches Together network which draws the community together.  This year we organised a Day of Prayer, a successful charity Quiz night which raised over £1000, and a popular interactive Christmas nativity.  This has been a particularly strong team this year. 

- We now hold a number of on line Zoom meetings including an Art club and monthly Quiz night where members of the church and the wider community, including our friends at St Aidan’s, can meet together in friendship and mutual support. 

- We started a monthly Bible study this year, meeting at the Callister Hall, which is lay led and attracts people from across the parish. 

- As a parish we have responded to the call from the Diocese of Leeds to be carbon neutral by 2030 and are following the A Rocha programme for environmental sustainability.  Through this programme both churches have achieved bronze and silver awards.  We are looking into how we may achieve gold.  We held our first ‘Green Fair’ this summer which was very successful, attracting 300 local people.  Following this event, a ‘Green Team’ was formed to oversee the eco strategy for the parish. Recycling ‘hubs’ for the local community are now established in each church.  We also celebrate Climate Sunday each year. 

- Our web site is active, regularly updated, has many followers and frequently attracts compliments. 

- Weekly sermons and prayers are recorded and uploaded on to the web site. 

- A parish email letter is circulated on a regular basis and gives parish information and words of comfort and support.  Those not on emails receive a letter in the post. 

- Our Village Newsletter, edited and printed by the P.C.C. and supported by many village organisations, is now being published and circulated every two months.  Copies are hand delivered to all 1600 homes in the parish and posted to supporters outside the parish.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)** 

## **Financial Review** 

Planned giving income, plus other giving in 2023, dropped by 8% to £48,096 in 2023 (2022: £52,521) and continues the trend of decreasing seen over previous years (2021: £53,520, 2020: £81,240, 2019: £70,275). This has been identified as a matter of concern for the future financial viability of the parish. 

However, overall income in 2023, was significantly raised due to several very generous donations totalling £52,362.  Within this total were donations specifically requesting amounts be given to social charities of the PCC’s choice.  This has been actioned with £17,741 distributed during 2023 and a remaining £4,509 for distribution in 2024.  Rental income from the Callister Hall shows a small increase to £8,077 (2022: £7,886), as does Newsletter advertising which brought in £5,196 (2022: £5,044).  Income from investments dropped slightly to £9,918 (2022: £10,463) but this is expected as the amounts invested are decreasing.  Income from Parochial fees also dropped to £5,851 (2022: £8,690) but this is income from weddings, funerals, burials etc and so is out of our control. 

Expenditure shows an increase of 9% to £149,812 (2022: £137,780). A large part of the increase was due to rapidly rising utility costs which totalled £15,866 in 2023 (2022: £6,954, 2021: £4,363).  £13,492 was also spent on Non-recurring major expenditure on the gas leak and wall collapse at All Hallows.  After much deliberation the P.C.C. decided not to pay the Parish share in full in 2023.    £10,000 was withdrawn from investment funds to allow £55,000 to be paid against an invoice of £80,308.  Although the Parish has assets held in investments a large part of this is an Endowment fund from which only the interest can be used for the maintenance and upkeep of the East Keswick churchyard. 

Meanwhile the Parish remains solvent though we must look for ways to mitigate the impact of the financial challenges we face in 2024. The P.C.C. realise the need to address the situation proactively and to be good stewards of the Parish finances.  We held joint services in alternate churches between January and March 2024 in an effort to reduce utility costs, and are organising a Fundraising weekend at the end of April.  We believe the key to success with this campaign is reaching out to the community, with whom we have good links and support. We are also in the process of joining the Parish Giving Scheme which will be introduced in the summer. 

## **Policy on Reserves** 

Reserves are managed and invested in order that short, medium and long-term requirements of the Parish can be adequately met and funds made available to satisfy any needs as and when they arise.  The P.C.C. has agreed to hold a maximum of £30,000 to satisfy such needs 

## **Volunteers** 

The church leadership wishes to express its grateful thanks and appreciation to every member of our congregation and many other local people who have tirelessly and enthusiastically given their time and support to the parish throughout 2023. 

## **Fabric and Maintenance Report** 

During 2023 All Hallows, Saint Mary Magdalene and the Callister Hall have undergone the annual statutory inspections required for fire extinguishers and gas safety. The lightning protection on both churches has been inspected and tested and the two church organs have been serviced.  Routine maintenance of the grass, hedges and trees in both churchyards has also continued. 

Other works: 

## _All Hallows –_ 

We experienced two major gas leaks at All Hallows between November 2022 and March 2023 which took great time and effort to repair, and meant there was no heating in the church during that period. The wall outside the church sustained damage and had to be safely dismantled and rebuilt.  There were also trees which had to be cut down and removed due to storm damage.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED….)** 

## **Fabric and Maintenance Report (continued...)** 

## _Saint Mary Magdalene_ – 

A new noticeboard and a new television screen have been erected (the television screen is situated to the right hand wall of the church).  A laptop has been purchased to facilitate audiovisual support during services and several lay parishioners have been trained to use it.  The screen will save on paper and allow the church to engage with different styles of worship. 

## _Callister Hall_ – 

No major work has been required during the year. 

## **Risk Management** 

## _Safeguarding_ 

The P.C.C. recognises the importance of its responsibilities to the needs of all vulnerable adults and young people and abides by all Government and Diocesan policy requirements.   All P.C.C. members have undertaken online safeguarding training during and our safeguarding polices are displayed on our notice boards and our web site.  Safeguarding matters are discussed at all P.C.C. meetings, reviewed annually and full written policy for the parish is available from the Parish office. 

## _Health and Safety_ 

The health and safety of the users of our premises is an ongoing concern as the P.C.C. seeks to assess and to monitor all risks relating to its various activities.  Health and Safety matters are discussed at all P.C.C. meetings, reviewed annually and written polices are held in both churches and the Callister Hall

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

## **THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BARDSEY** 

## **NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The P.C.C. is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102.  The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of P.C.C.'s and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions, together with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of the FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)). 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at fair value. 

## **Fixed assets** 

## Consecrated land and buildings 

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011. 

## Freehold property 

No depreciation is provided on buildings as the current estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value and the remaining useful life of these assets currently exceeds 50 years, so that any depreciation charges would be immaterial.  An impairment review is carried out each year-end and any resultant loss identified included in expenditure for the year. 

## Movable church furnishings 

No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the P.C.C. and which require a faculty for disposal since the P.C.C. considers this to be inalienable property.  All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or benefice buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed. 

## Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment 

Equipment used with the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years.  Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Investments** 

Investments are stated at market value. 

## **Resources used** 

Grants and donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when any preconditions preventing their use by the P.C.C. have been met.  For collections and planned giving this is when the funds are received. 

## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church** 

The Diocesan share is accounted for as the amount remitted to the Diocese in the year.

**1. Accounting Policies (continued…)** 

## **Funds** 

## Unrestricted Funds

These are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted.  Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Incoming resources** 

## Recognition of income and endowments 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when: 

1. the P.C.C. becomes legally entitled to the use of the resources; 

2. and inflow of economic benefit is probable; and 

3. the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## Other ordinary income

## **10 SUMMARY OF FUNDS MOVEMENTS** 

The General reserve represents the free funds of the charity, which are not designated for particular purposes 

The Bardsey School House funds and the East Keswick Parsonage funds were both established on the sale of the respective properties.  The assets of the funds are held by the Diocese as custodian trustee to be applied in the future for ecclesiastical purposes 

The East Keswick Churchyard fund was established in 2009 by a legacy.  The fund is classed as a permanent endowment whereby the capital is retained in perpetuity with income arising to be applied to the maintenance of Saint Mary Magdalene’s churchyard.
