The main achievements in 2021
Church Services
We have Church services every Sunday at 10.30am and also at 6.30pm on the 1[st] Sundays providing a variety of worship styles and age appropriate teaching. We continued to livestream our services and provide DVDs for people unable to attend or view online. We also held special services, including Remembrance Sunday and a Christingle service which were very well attended.
Occasional Offices
In 2021 we celebrated 6 weddings, conducted 2 adult baptisms and 3 child baptisms, and held 63 funerals. There were no memorial services.
Church events
The Church put on a Spring Fair and a Christmas Fair as well as a Summer and Christmas Choir Concert. All were well attended with people from across the Community.
Links with local schools
We videod and led seasonal assemblies in most of the local primary schools as well as provided a lunch club and after school club in two of the primary schools.
Church Family Choir
During 2021 the Family Choir produced a Summer and Christmas Concert. The Choir also sang at a number of funerals. It is self supporting and has been blessed with the support of the local villagers.
Toddler Group
We re-started the toddler group with the name 'Growing Together'. It is run by a small team from the Church and we have limited the number of spaces available so as to develop stronger relationships with the people who come.
Churches Together
We supported a Carols at the Cenotaph evening in December which was well attended.
Support Team and Children, Youth and Families work
Page 2
During 2021 we have been blessed with the ongoing support from our Administrative Support Worker Amanda (2 days per week) and our Youth Worker Sam (full-time). Both workers are employed by the Sheffield Diocese and the Church continues to make increasing contributions towards their salaries. Sam has recruited different teams to suppport the three kids groups: Growing Together (toddlers), Ignite (reception to Y5) and Ablaze (Y6 to Y9).
Other Midweek activities Our charity shop "Steptoes" was re-opened for two mornings each week offering good quality clothing and household items which have been donated. All profits are distributed to local charities and organisations together with charities within the U.K. and overseas.
We have also started to meet again in person for our midweek Growth Group, Men's Fellaship and Women's Titus 2 group.
Financial review
The Vicar and Churchwardens account is a legacy left by the Braithwaite family to be used at the discretion of the Vicar and Church Wardens and which includes one property which is rented. The only other asset is a property which is also rented out and belongs to the P.C.C. In 2021 an investment was made in new screens which were paid for from grants and donations. We also installed new doors in the Church Hall.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding of children and adults has continued to be a high priority for the PCC with regular progress updates at our meetings. In accordance with the 2017 Practice Guidance, we can confirm that we have complied with the duty to have "due regards" to the House of Bishops' guidance in relation to safeguarding.
Signed on behalf of the board of members by The Revd M. Mugge, Chairman of the Parochial Church Council.

Independent Examiner’s report
Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement
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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 11[th] May 2022
