Introduction

The primary object of St Alkmund’s PCCs is the promotion of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The incumbent is Rev Dr James Hughes.

Our mission statement is ‘ Devoted to God, Devoted to One Another ’

St Alkmund’s provides support for a significant church community, as well as education in the Christian faith, and social activities open to the wider community, as can be seen from the following report.

This report contains contributions from the Vicar, Churchwardens and Trainee Minister, and a report from the PCC. This is followed by ‘a Year in review’ before we consider the ministry of the church under five headings: Sunday Services, Children and Youth Work, Discipleship and Pastoral Care, Evangelism and Mission, and Operations (which covers all the many activities we engage in to support our other activities).

Throughout the report you will see that we rely extensively on volunteers to enable our mission and ministry; their endeavours are incalculable and greatly appreciated.

This report covers an interesting period in the life of the church, as we were able to begin a number of new initiatives, but also experienced flooding in October 2023.

Financial reports follow the main report.

St Alkmund’s 2023- a Year in review

3

It seems a long time ago already – so what happened in 2023?

Back in January we ran an evangelistic

course called ‘Live’. We also ran a Board Games

evening, and had the first of a number of Lunch Time concerts.

In

February

we

launched

the second half of our Church History course, and ran a Holiday Club at the end of Half Term.

March saw us as celebrating Mothering Sunday, and preparing for Easter. Our young people also went away to Edale at the end of the month, and it didn’t snow.

As well as celebrating Easter in April , we had Derby Bible Week, and May saw us engaged in various activities around the King’s coronation, and having a picnic in the park.

In June , James went on sabbatical for three months, but life at church continued, with the help of some visiting preachers. We also had visits in July from Dan and Vicki, and Graeme and Bequi Innes.

August brought with it our holiday club, ‘The return of the King’. In September James returned from sabbatical, and we geared up for all our plans for the autumn term. We celebrated harvest in early

October , and began our ‘The Way, the truth and the Life’ course, but

flooding towards the end of October put many of the events we had planned on hold. We continued to meet for church at William Gilbert through November , although we weren’t able to commemorate Remembrance as we would have liked.

Thanks to a massive clean up operation from our church family, we were able to move back into the church in early December , in time to celebrate Christmas.

From the Vicar

Let me begin with some ‘famous last words’. They are mind from this time last year: In many ways 2022 represented the first ‘normal’ year we have had for a while. We couldn’t

say that about 2023, unless flooding is to be considered normal. But looking at the year as a whole, as per our year in review, there is much to celebrate.

4

Here, I want to offer some thanks to all our volunteers engaged in the life of the church over the last year, from serving coffee, to cleaning, to leading bible studies, to helping with children’s and youth work, and beyond. As a church we seek to be a family, and to be involved in family life, and it is always encouraging to reflect back on how people serve one another here. I’m very wary of starting to mention people as I will miss someone out, so I will restrict myself to thanking by name Paul Linford and Jodi Gray who served as wardens for 2023, and to Richard Lindop and James Rollin for all the extra things they took on during my sabbatical.

My thanks also go to the office team, and the ministry team. Diane and Liz continue to work in the office, and I am immensely grateful for all the support I, and we as a ministry team, receive from them, especially with the chaos of flooding and a temporary office at the moment. I have the privilege of working here with three very supportive, encouraging, committed and hard working colleagues, in James R, Adam, and James M. I look forward to the time we are able to spend together, and thank them for their support and hard work.

2023 has been a turbulent year, not just locally but globally, and not just in the wider world, but in the Church of England. As I look back upon it, it is with a mixture of sorrow for some of the decisions that have been made at General Synod, but also with great hope. Many of you know I had the privilege of attending GAFCON (Global Anglican Fellowship Conference) in Kigali in April 2023, and as we gathered as Anglicans from all over the world, we rejoiced in our fellowship in the gospel, and our commitment to sharing the good news with a needy world. I, and I trust we, hold fast to that commitment though fire and flood.

Churchwarden’s Report

Dealing with the consequences of flooding has once again taken up much of our work as churchwardens during the past 12 months with Storm Babet in October putting the church out of action for several weeks and the hall for considerably longer.

As the flooding occurred overnight it has been impossible to determine exactly what happened, but it seems likely that the flood barriers around the hall did their job to an extent and that most of the flooding in the hall came via the church.

It is now clear that with flooding events likely to become both more frequent and more serious that we need to protect the church as well as the hall and this will be the focus of the flood prevention work in the coming year.

The flood protection group continues to meet under Paul’s chairmanship to help chart the way forward and we are grateful for their help and expertise.

Last summer was also a busy time for the wardens with James‘s sabbatical during which we helped out with service leading and also some pastoral visiting. We have continued to lead services from time to time and have been grateful for this opportunity.

5

We have continued to hold regular warden's meetings with James and been part of the group looking at the outcomes from the 2022 Vision Day. We hope to be able to build on this work during 2024/25.

Our work as wardens is made considerably easier by the continuing help of our team of keyholders - Martin Boyce, Martin Oliver, Phil O'Brien, Tom Gray and John Wightman who joined the team this year.

After many years of sterling service, John Lound stepped aside as funeral verger with Phil O’Brien taking on the role. We thank John for all his hard work and wish him well in his ‘retirement.’

Thanks are also due to Mike Stanier and Chris Graves who continue to provide vital help with church maintenance, Roger White who has managed the heating and Merrilyn Wheatley who now manages the tea and coffee rota.

Priorities for the coming year will include completing the flood defence project, installing a water supply to the Smith Chapel, helping to establish a pastoral visiting team and continuing to help implement the Vision Day objectives.

As ever, we are grateful for the continued prayers of the church family as we carry out this ministry.

Paul Linford and Jodi Gray

Trainee Minister’s Letter

Up until the end of October last year, I would’ve been writing that 2023 had been (especially when compared with 2019 - 2021!) a fairly ‘uneventful’ year, but then of course the UK weather and ‘Storm Babet’, which majorly flooded St Alkmund’s once again – had other ideas!

Yet, a ‘positive’ of the October 2023 storms (resulting in the Duffield church hall once again being ‘out of action’ for an extended period) is a reminder of how we can work very well together and really support each other as two churches, and how much we can achieve together as a united benefice. Our benefice teaching-course has been able to continue in Little Eaton instead of Duffield. Our monthly benefice prayer-meetings have similarly able to continue in Little Eaton instead of Duffield, helping to further build crossbenefice relationships. Our ‘TOTS’ group has not only continued in Little Eaton instead of Duffield, but the enforced “ change in location ” has actually highlighted the potential for running two such groups, one in each village, going forward.

We give thanks for all that we’ve been able to achieve as a church and as a benefice in 2023 and for all of our many volunteers who help to make things happen. And God willing, we trust that we can continue doing more of the same in the year ahead, as we seek to keep sharing the ‘good news’ of the Gospel with all those around us, and as we keep growing and learning in our faith together as the Lord’s people here.

Many thanks to our church/benefice family for their continued support and encouragement over the past year and my thanks to James Hughes and our Staff Team and Wardens in particular.

PCC Report

Report on the Proceedings of the Parochial Church Council

It should be the duty of the minister and the parochial church council to consult together on matters of general concern and importance to the parish. (Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956).

The Parochial Church Council met 6 times in 2023. All meetings were in person, with five in St Alkmund’s church hall and one in Little Eaton hall after the flooding. The meeting in July was chaired by Richard Lindop, as the vicar was on Sabbatical.

Regular agenda items for discussion included a ministry update from the vicar, safeguarding information from Paul Linford and a finance report from Nick Peacock, the treasurer. Safeguarding included new and renewed Disclosure and Barring certificates, reminders of mandatory course updates and any issues needing to be discussed. This year there have also been regular discussions on the Prayers of Love and Faith.

At the January meeting PCC members were made aware of the implementation of ideas from the Vision day in November 2022. These included:

• 6 people going on the CAP money course

• A new Events team who had already planned 2 social activities

• The setting up of a new Young People’s group

• And the TOTS group to start on February 3[rd] 2023

Later in the year, after discussion and a unanimous vote, St Alkmund’s became a Church Society Partner church. The church was already giving to this organisation through it’s stewardship and it is a patron of St Alkmund’s. The Church Society is also a member of the CEEC, the Church of England Evangelical Council.

The PCC received a letter from Plastic Free Duffield, after which it was agreed that all plastic use in the church would be reviewed.

In September 2023 the youth workers Adam Heaton and James Munro attended the PCC meeting. They gave members a full explanation of their work and visions for primary age children and young people in the St Alkmund’s and St Paul’s churches and in the local schools. This included 2 holiday clubs and termly family events.

After the flooding in October 2023 the PCC decided more flood protection was needed. Apart from the damage to church buildings, having the office out of use was very difficult. It was agreed to look into having an office and drop-in centre more central in the village, away from flooding.

In November the PCC voted to renew Richard Lindop’s Reader’s Licence and to support James Rollin in continuing his Reader’s course.

Reports on PCC business appear in the Church magazine throughout the year.

Janet Roulstone

Sunday Services

Our Sunday services at Duffield are normally at 10am and 6.30pm. The morning service includes creche and youth work for those aged up to 14. We also have an 8am communion service which currently at All Saints chapel on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays of the

7

month. Our 6.30pm service, which meets in the hall, was temporarily suspended in October 2023 after flooding.

During 2023 we continued our usual pattern of expository sermon series, seeking to explore the whole counsel of God. The morning saw us beginning to look at John, in 1 Thessalonians, and then looking at Jonah and 2 Peter. A similar pattern has been followed in the evening, looking at 2 Corinthians, Amos, Luke and Romans 1. We have continued to live stream services, and that will continue into the future.

The music group continues to strive to provide music that enables the congregation to praise and worship God. We are very thankful for the small, dedicated team of sound men who are essential to ensure the sound the band is well balanced, our ppteers , and our team of Streamers , who make sure the internet behaves itself. Our bell ringers continue to encourage us into worship.

Our thanks go to our musicians, power point operators, sides people, sound team, coffee and tea makers, tidy uppers, creche helpers and heating keeping going-ers (and many others) who contribute so much to make sure we can meet together as God’s people every Sunday.

James Hughes

Children’s and youth work

This year we have continued to focus on building stronger relationships with our surrounding schools and families. We’ve maintained our regular once a week assembly with William Gilbert and have been a part of their services throughout the year. We have been involved in the Christian Union at Ecclesbourne School. We have also introduced various family evenings with the goal of further reaching not just our young people but their parents too, although this has been interrupted by the flooding.

Every Sunday we run Sparks for 3-11’s and Fuel for 11-14s with our older teens frequently serving in our Youth band or helping with streaming. Ignition our group for 1118s has changed to a Wednesday and has continued to grow and develop with Bible study, in addition to First Sunday Specials once a month for fellowship during Salt Cafe. We have also taken steps to give access to 1 to 1 ministry for more of our 11-18s.

We ran a three-day Holiday Club in August, and a one day club in February. We look forward to expanding outreach with further events/socials to support our children & young people throughout the year.

Adam Heaton and James Munro

Discipleship and Pastoral Care

Discipleship

A key opportunity for learning together is of course Sunday by Sunday at our weekly church services. However, we also continue to offer various opportunities for further learning and teaching in smaller groups as churches and a benefice.

Our Growth Groups have continued to meet during the year, studying a range of material including Proverbs, Esther, Titus and the person & work of the Holy Spirit. If you

8

are not currently involved in a Growth Group and would like to be, please contact either myself or the Vicar.

Our benefice Prayer Meetings continue to be held on the first Wednesday evening of the month, (either at St Alkmund’s or St Paul’s), where there are opportunities to pray for the life of the church(s) and the benefice and for one another. There are also opportunities to consider at the prayer meeting, specific issues in more detail than is possible during a church service. Do please support this key meeting in the life of our benefice if you can.

Our periodic midweek teaching courses have continued, with most recently the ‘Way Truth and Life’ course looking at how things like the Creeds and the ’39 Articles’ can aid our understanding of biblical doctrine. We also encourage the church family to make use of other occasional teaching opportunities organised by third parties; for example the annual ‘Derby Bible Week’ meetings.

Our other midweek activities include our Tuesday Morning service (with Communion once a month) on Tuesday mornings in term time. We also have opportunities for 1-1 bible-study – if you are interested in this, please contact either myself or the church office.

Pastoral Care

We have been continuing to undertake more visits with more people through visiting them in their homes, or going out for a coffee or going for a walk, etc; organised on an ad-hoc basis. If anyone feels that they would like a visit from a member of the pastoral care team, please get in touch with the church office and we can make arrangements.

We also provide meals for those in need , together with a prayer chain and also our ongoing Prayer Ministry after Sunday services after the morning service at St ’ Alkmund s .

Our Sanctuary event on Thursday afternoons provides a welcome space for people to come and chat and get support and company. And our ‘TOTS’ group gives chance for those caring for younger children to meet and catch up.

James Rollin

Evangelism and Mission

Evangelism

Our parish magazines continue to act as a good ‘low key’ evangelism tool for the wider village community and once again my sincere thanks go to our magazine editor Jeff Taplin for his tireless work in producing the magazines, for both churches. As ever, any suggestions for content for the magazines are always gratefully received.

In January/February 2023, as a follow-up to our various Christmas services we ran the ‘Live’ course in the church hall, a 5-week course exploring the truth and content of the gospel, how to begin and also how to keep going in living the Christian life as followers of Jesus.

We continue to seek to implement our evangelism strategy and the Events Team continues to plan and organise evangelistic events, which have included ongoing

9

‘friendship evangelism’ lunches at Croots farm café (many thanks to Kay & team for their support with these) and a ‘murder mystery’ event in summer 2023.

Unfortunately, as happened previously with the 2019 floods and subsequent 2020/21 Covid19 restrictions, our plans for evangelistic events for late 2023 and on into 2024 (which included a ‘Burns Night Supper’ & a ‘Stargazing Evening’) have been temporarily rather ‘thwarted’ by the October 2023 flooding of the church hall. Nevertheless, we will resume our plans once the hall is back in use!

Mission

We continue as a church to ‘tithe’ the income we receive in planned giving, supporting various organisations, from other local churches in Derbyshire, to local and national charities, together with support for international mission.

The bulk of our benefice’s overseas giving goes to our international Mission Partners; Dan and Vicki, Dr Ted and Rachel Watts, who live and work at the Good News Hospital in Mandritsara, Madagascar; Graeme and Bequi Innes, working at Oastea Domnului, an Evangelical church in Chisinau, Moldova and John & Sian Newton-Webb, who lead a church plant in the city of Sapporo in the north of Japan; plus the Langham Partnership.

We will continue to give updates on all our international Mission Partners going forward and do please continue to pray for them and the challenging work the Lord has called them to.

James Rollin

Operations

Operations covers all the things we do to keep doing all the other things we do: our finances, the website, social media, the office, cleaning, maintenance, working parties, keeping the heating going, and many other areas.

Again, as in so many areas of church life, this involves a large group of volunteers, who clean the church (often alone in a cold building), who mow the grass, and generally keep on top of everything. You can see the work Nick Peacock, our treasurer does from the following accounts. Out thanks to all our many, many unsung volunteer heroes.

Treasurer’s report for the year to 31 December 2023

2023 turned out much better than planned. The budget for 2023 assumed a year end deficit of the unrestricted funds of £23,750. The final accounts show a surplus of £1,325. Clearly there were large differences under the various headings, not all in the same direction.

The regular giving was £5,340 under budget (but higher than 2022). Staff costs were £2,580 above budget while there was significant savings on the other 2 variable expenditure items. Operational costs were £5,660 below budget and utilities £5,660

10

under budget. The latter due to much improved automatic timing of heating in church (with virtually no complaints from the congregation).

The principal reason for the large differences between budget and actual was due to donations. Within the church family donations exceeded by £10,919 and there was an additional £13,500 from external sources. £2,000 interest from our deposit account helped as well. The outlook for 2024 is also positive due to a couple of bequests while the unrestricted cash balance of over £40,000 provides a sound basis for the next few years.

Nick Peacock

Safeguarding Report

The work of safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults within the church continues to operate relatively smoothly.

We currently have 60 people in the church family with valid DBS certificates enabling them to work with the above groups. During 2023, four people with DBS certificates stepped down from their roles, but two new people came onto the list for the first time while seven existing certificates were renewed.

The overall number of people with DBS certificates is still a relatively healthy number for a church of our size, representing more than half of the regular congregation.

The move from five-yearly to three-yearly renewals has inevitably meant more work at our end but more people are being encouraged to sign-up to the automatic renewal process. A total of 29 certificates are due for renewal this year.

While Paul and Diane (as safeguarding administrator) have focused on keeping on top of the DBS process, Gill has continued to look after safeguarding training and has helped facilitate face-to-face training sessions for those unable to access online training.

As we go forward, we continue to pray for God’s protection on our children and vulnerable adults, and on all of us in our relationships with each other.

Paul and Gill Linford, Parish Safeguarding Officers

Health and Safety.

We continue to keep a record of accidents, which are reported to the PCC as appropriate. I am pleased to report that there have not been any Health and Safety incidents reported in the last period.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST ALKMUND, DUFFIELD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2023

I ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Investment assets are valued at Market value. Funds

General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Incoming Resources

Voluntary, income and capital sources

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax receivable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantified and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Sales of books and magazines are accounted for gross. Funds raised by the Garden Party, Christmas Fair and similar events are accounted for gross.

Other income

Income from the letting of the parish hall is recognised when the rental is due. Income from investments

Dividends are accounted for when receivable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year. Gains and losses on investments: Realised gains and losses are. Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December or when appropriate.

Resources used

Grants: Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.

Fixed assets

Consecrated land and buildings and moveable Church furnishings

Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s.96(2)(a) of the Charities Act 1993. Moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted for as inalienable property unless consecrated. They are listed in the church's inventory (which can be inspected at any reasonable time). For inalienable property acquired prior to 2000, there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. No such items have been acquired during the year.

All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1 January 2000 is written off. Other fixtures and fittings

Equipment used within the Church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

Investments

Investments are valued at Market Value at 31 December.

Current assets

Amounts owed at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors. Realised gains and losses are recognised when investments are sold.

Unrealised gains and losses are accounted for on revaluation at 31 December or when appropriate
