Team Rertoys Report Dearest friends. It must be a sign of my increasing age that these annual reports seem to come around all too quicklyl My job as Team Rertor at the APCM is fundamentally to thank everybody for the year past and to give a little inslght 05 to where we might want to be going in the year still to come. Giving thanks for what has passed is immensety important because it recognises the commltment and the sacrlfi'ces of everybody in our congregations.. we flourish as churches within our team because we all work together to help further God's kingdom... we are all cogs in the machine and we all play our important parts- from sidespersons to Readers: commitiee members to cleaners; flower arrangers to gardeners: coffee makers to welcomers. bellringers to choristers; fundraisers to playgroup helpers,. treasurers to orgonists- etc.etc... all play their essential part. It would however be remiss of me not to thank the Chui'chwardens in particular for their immense contribution to our team, or similarly not to thank all our musician5 who enhance our worship. likewlse to Faye in the offite for the wonderful administrative 5LlPPOrt and safeguardin8 she offers. and last but by no means least to Stroma and to Llsa for their dedicated, committed and rich mlnistry amongst U5. 2022 wa5 a busy year wlth Llsa lolnln8 LIS and our Stewardship Campaign as well as much much more - 2023 wlth our Alpha Course, Confirmation 8roup etc. etc. will offer more. but most importantly of all, I wish to thank you all for your faiih and devotion to our team minlstry and to our God who enriches and sustains us all.

Revd. Garry Chair Safeguardlng Report Safeguarding is, and always will be an ongoing learnirffd curve and awareness, there will always be training to do, and we need to stay vi8ilant to all ihe new Inforrnation and tralnlng requests that are demanded of us. This is to keep our church an open and safe place for everyone including ourselve5. All our pollcies were renewed and passed at the September PCC meetin8 and a now on show prominently in our churches. AII pcc members and the Pastoral visiting team were qUired to complete the Raislng Awareness of Domestic Abuse training this year. I'm pleased to report that a majority have completed It although to be legally compliant I do need 100% completion. We are in the process of re-starting St Marfs Sunday School after successfully safer recruiting a leader. We are also in the process of recruiting a young leader for CORE. If you would like to help with the Children'5 worship and Sunday school, then please contact any of the Clergy or myself. The Diocese also requires for us to produce safer activity risk assessments for all church actwitles- the PCC have identtfied the activities that requi this assessment, and l am in the pro55 of contacting leaders so this can be tompleted. 11
Thank you to all for your continued support with the Safeguarding within our Team Ministry. We are all responsible ft)r safeguardin8 the integrity. but more importantly, the people in our church. Faye Wright~ Krm Safeguarding Officer Finandal Review The Parish is fijnded by voluntary donations from its congregatTrs and supporters. supplemented by fvnd raising attivities, Investment income lindudin8 reveftue generated by our property assets- car parks, cottage, halls etcl and fees. Monies received are predominantty spent on providing 5eNices and keeping our churches and buiFdings maintained and welcoming. Each church organizes its own finances, raises funds towards Its objertNes and targets and finances its own expenditure. The Churth Vestry Committees are responsible to the PCC for both ILS income and expendlture and ppare5 a budget for approval by the PCC each autumn. Contracts over £5000 require PCC approval and ère authorised by the PCC rather than the churche5. The PCC has an independent budget and financial respon5iblltties. Yearond account5 are prepared and opproved by the appropriate Church Commlttee and then consolldated to provide the overall accounts for the Parish. The PCC appointed Mitchell, Wellock as independent examiners. The parish holds bank accounts at Nat West. HSBC, Barclay5 and Yorkshire Bank5. and in the Leeds and Skipton BuildlnB 5ocietles. There are also deposits wlth the Church Centrnl Board of Finance. These institutions have no influence on the operations of the parish and the relationship is purely commerclal. They are available for financial advlce Sf required. Revlew of 2022 Financial reporting is difficult enough without the need fof accountin8 by 'Funds', as required bv Charity Law. While the essence is simple, keeping money separate for different purposes is not as easy as it sounds. Basically, money given or raised for a specific purpose has to be used for that project /itemlrepair etc and, If not Used, tUMed to the donor. Thls is why there are so many different funds, even after some consolidètion5. It is also why money spent on a large project may come from several of the funds and how some'RestriCLed' funds may come to be in debtt. Re8uI?r Actlvltles These are what we do. every day of the year. to simply fvnction. In tems of expenditure, it is all about paying the bills for heating, 1Sghting, insurance. baslc maintenance and small repairs, carrying out Services of worship and financially 5UPPOrting our clergy. through ihe Parish Share. As for income. it is all about collècting and managing people's voluntsry contributions tQWaTds the work of the church in tax effJ¢ient manner. Both income and expenditure need carefijl managing land accounting). Voluntary Income Voluntary Income overall does not our Pèrish Share, leavin8 Other Sources of income necessary to maintaln our bulldlngs and servtces. There remains an ongoing need to keep this under review, as costs 12
continue to increase, and to continue to empha5ise the need for regular planned income to meet regular planned outgoings. Other Income Fijndraising continues to be an essential part of our Income. A lot of hard work. not always recognised, goes into fundraising and we are indeed fonunate to have so many volunteers to lend a hand or, more importantly. have new ideas with regard to lund-raising. Regular Expendlture (Churth artfvltles) Regular expenditure. as always, continues to increase. Careful management of controllable expenditure is a large part of what our individual chuhe5 do and savlngs continue to be made wherever possible. However, it reeds to be borr* in mind thèt money can only be spent when you have it and. especially on maintenante. there are a number of Items tht need attention that are owaitlng fundin8. Year End tlnanclal posltlon According to the Balance sheet. we have assets of £S59.421 an overall InCaSe of £17,922 on the 2021 figure. With costs contlnually increasing, the is a constsnt need to find ways of generating additional income. with fewer reserves left to dip into. 2023 Budgtts 8ud8ets are in place for 2023. it promlses to be è very difficult and challengin8 year, again falling well short of the ever-in¢reasin8 requested Diocesan Share for the Knaresborou8h Team Ministry. Rlsk Mana8ement The Trustees have a duty to Identlfy and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure approprlate controls are in place to piovide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Re5eryes Policy The Parish has been fortunate in the past and benefits from a number of Endowment funds. the irscome from which is used mainly. but not exclusively, for specific purpose5. The varlous churches all have Restricted funds, where money has been 8iven lrnised for specific purposes. Once the required funds are roised. they are spent and the Funds closed once the objectives have been met. For some projects, however, raising the required money may take several years. At present the PCC has no objectwes to raise any reserve funds for general / investment purposes. Flnally. we need to recognise the extraordinary job done by the Church Treasurèrs, with the full support of their Vestry Committees. Their job continue5 to be so demanding yet they carry out their dutles so cheerfully and dIlently.
